There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

March 17th.

"Modern Scrolls" is officially released.

Some time ago.

Even after the announcement of "Modern Scrolls", many colleagues are actually wondering whether Linmu Studio will insert any games.

But the reality is, no.

On the contrary, Linmu Studio seems to devote all its energy to this game.

A huge amount of publicity resources have been invested in this game.

Especially overseas.

Maybe domestic players don't have much feeling.

But this time.

It can be said that the entire overseas game circle is full of news about the game "Modern Scrolls".

And there are countless outdoor advertisements in various realities.

You can say that.

The promotion fee invested by Linmu Studio in this game is equivalent to the production fee.

This is also the first time that Linmu Studio has invested so much in promoting a game.

And this was one of the reasons why Zhong Xiu was worried.

Before the rise of Linmu Studio, when it first emerged, there were no such conditions.

After the rise, many times there is no need for such a large-scale announcement. The natural advantages brought by the Vaporwave game platform, the attractiveness of the signboard of Linmu Studio itself, and the charm of the game itself.

It's enough to make Linmu Studio's game a big hit.

For example, "Titanfall" some time ago.

Linmu Studio did not make such an exaggerated announcement.

But this game still became the hottest game at home and abroad at that time.

As soon as the promo is released.

Relying on the Vaporwave game platform, a huge number of players have already bought games.

As for why "Modern Scrolls" does not adopt such a scheme.

very simple.

The upper limit of "Modern Scrolls" is much higher than that of "Titanfall".

The mainline process of "Titanfall" is too short, and the online mode, not everyone can get started quickly, and not everyone can accept myself as an iron pilot who has killed several top hunters and run online , it turns back to the fact that the riflemen.

And "Modern Scrolls" is one of the monuments in the history of the game to some extent, even if you put aside the online mode that continues to bring revenue to Rockstar.

Its offline mode is undoubtedly the best of its kind, and there is no one.

If the "Assassin's Creed" series is one of the most suitable games for new players to get started with stand-alone games.

Then "Modern Scroll" is above this "one", a higher level of existence.

Modern crime action adventure open world game.

In Lin Yao's previous life, this genre was not without competition.

There are even quite a few.

The "Yakuza" series with Japan as the main stage, the "Watch Dogs" series as a hacker, and the subsequent generations of "Far Cry" with the wild version that gave him the name of love, of course, the overall feeling is closer, but A more insane and ridiculous version of the Saints Row series.

But these competing products.

Not to mention getting close, you can't even see the exhaust of "Modern Scrolls"...

Not to mention, as a stand-alone game for new players to get started.

These are good games, no one can deny that there are quite a few players who like them, and some of the gameplay are even better than "Modern Scrolls".

"Modern Scrolls" has been criticized for its "real game engine" and "rotten shooting feel".

But these games are not as good as "Modern Scrolls" in terms of commercial success, word-of-mouth, or playability.

As to why this is the case.

The reason.

the most important reason.

Probably the difference in content.

Each generation of "Modern Scrolls" is the pinnacle of the game industry for generations.

A game includes a variety of gameplays that can only be experienced by purchasing multiple games, integrating action, shooting, driving and other gameplays.

What's even more outrageous is that the game combines so many gameplays very well, and puts everything in a rich and detailed game world. At the same time, because it is a crime theme, players don't need to have any worries.

Simply put, it is...comprehensive.

This is why Forest Studio announced the game on such a large scale.

Because this game is a frame, many game audiences can be included in this frame...

And the publicity of Linmu Studio finally got a very rich return.

The first day of the "Modern Scrolls" store page going live.

The game quickly rushed to the top of the sales list.

Since then, game sales have continued to soar.

On sale day.

According to the calculation of a third-party organization, it has already exceeded ten million...

This is the pre-sale.

Even if there are discrepancies, this is completely worthy of the title of 'the finishing work'.

And with so many players, the enthusiasm for discussion is terrifying.

The game is approaching its release date.

The entire game circle is in the shape of Modern Scrolls.

Domestic colleagues are already mentally prepared, and they all lie flat.

As for the major overseas manufacturers, they originally planned to see the situation, but they gave up the idea of ​​​​looking at the situation on the first day the game store page was launched.

Also chose to avoid the edge.

This also creates a unique environment for "Modern Scrolls", which has no opponents at all.

All the colleagues just watched, waiting for the "mad king" of Linmu Studio to complete the final performance.

as well as.

See how amazing the final performance of this "Mad King" is.

...

March 17th.

Game unlocked.

Before the game is unlocked, the pre-downloaded game capacity is nearly 100G.

This has already made the players gasp.

On the day the game was unlocked, Linmu Studio also pushed a 2G patch...

Players can't help but wait for the update.

How big is this game world? How many games are there?

certainly.

Without most players entering the game, no one can answer their questions.

Only to experience it for yourself.

Players with good internet speed have already entered the game when other players download it.

Like West Brom, Ohio.

The moment you enter the game.

His sense of expectation can be said to be too high.

And before entering the story mode.

He originally thought that the game would have a cool performance, which would demonstrate a huge world like a promotional film, or surprise players with a high degree of freedom.

but.

None of these.

Game up.

The character he controls is in a bank.

Of course, the characters he controls are not doing "good citizen behavior" such as saving money.

It was a bandit wearing a hood and holding an automatic rifle.

obviously.

They are working.

Sibron is a good citizen, of course he doesn't know the relevant procedures.

but.

Ashamed to say.

Although he doesn't know the related process of standing.

But he was lucky enough to experience lying on his stomach before, and he has some experience in this process...

He has read a lot of related news.

And the plot at the beginning of the game.

Tell the truth.

Not amazing.

On the contrary, it is more like a regular performance.

Although it was done very well, he roared and threatened the person behind the windowsill to open the blast door, and then each performed his duties, one planting the bomb and the other guarding the hostages.

Then detonate the bomb.

Pack money.

When watching the characters in the game stuff a lot of money into their pockets, the number in the upper left corner keeps changing.

There is still a sense of refreshment.

But there is a problem.

This robbery didn't have any preliminaries, and it didn't have any foreshadowing, so there was a sense of refreshment, but there was only a hint of it.

Instead follow up.

The police arrived.

fire each other.

Then in the icy North Yankton, driving a van rampage is a little more refreshing.

However, this created new problems.

"This is the map of the game?"

Sibulon went to the escape point according to the route guidance.

While observing the icy and snowy North Yankton, I was a little disappointed.

This doesn't seem to match the game trailer...

In general.

The prologue of the game was indeed beyond his expectations.

But not for the better.

On the contrary, it is a bit disappointing.

While thinking, Sibulon controlled the van and rushed to the scheduled evacuation location.

Immediately afterwards.

The robber trio in the game is ambushed.

Both were shot on the spot.

And when they lifted the hood.

Only then did Sibulon discover that it was the two protagonists who had already appeared in the promotional film.

Di Santa and Lao Cui.

Faced with his companion being shot and unable to act, the crazy old Cui was unwilling to give up.

Even though Di Santa was lying on the ground, repeatedly asking him to give up on himself.

Old Cui still stubbornly stayed where he was.

until.

More support is coming.

He roared angrily, and had no choice but to give up the two 'colleagues' and disappeared into the snowstorm.

seem.

This time the robbery failed.

And the screen changed.

at a funeral.

The pastor was holding a funeral for the dead Di Santa, and he was chanting God's forgiveness.

And the screen moves slowly.

Di Santa, who was already dead, was witnessing his own funeral in a secret place.

at last.

He cursed, stubbed out his cigarette, and turned to leave.

"oh?"

Seeing this scene, Siblon finally became a little interested.

It turns out that Lao Cui and Di Santa knew each other?

And...the latter seems to be cheating?

He just had this question.

The game screen changes.

The prologue ends.

The game officially begins.

The beautiful beaches and the bustling city come into view.

The official stage of the game was reflected in Sibulon's pupils.

then.

The screen switches to indoors.

In the spacious room.

In the prologue, Di Santa is in a suit and leather shoes, sitting in front of the psychiatrist.

They are completely different from the gangsters at the beginning.

And with the subtitles of the game producers jumping out.

Di Santa started yelling at the psychiatrist, pouring out his troubles.

Others are middle-aged.

Encountered many problems.

And the biggest problem is his family.

His wife is an uneasy thing, his son is a big fat man who only knows how to play games, and his daughter, who dreams of becoming famous every day, is also disobedient.

The whole family is falling apart.

He tried to redeem and was also fighting.

But it has little effect.

So he can only pour out his anger to the psychiatrist.

And this psychiatrist's level is very average, just letting him vent, can only let him vent.

When the time came, let him go.

There is also an expensive medical bill.

After the robbery, why is there another family ethics drama?

Siblon listened to de Santa's father's angry accusations against his family.

Such an idea popped up suddenly.

This is not right...

Just when he thought so.

in the game.

Di Santa left the psychiatrist's clinic dejectedly.

Then along the beach, I found a stool and sat down.

And at this time.

Another protagonist of the game, Xiao Fu, appeared with his friends.

This is also the first intersection of the two protagonists.

Xiaofu and Rama walked from a distance while arguing, and then saw Di Santa sitting on a chair, and asked him for directions.

Di Santa initially said he didn't know.

It seems that they know what the two want to do.

But after hesitating for a while, he finally showed the two of them the way.

And the screen moves along with the trend.

Let the player control the character of Xiaofu...

He and his good brother followed the direction pointed by Di Santa and found the destination smoothly.

period.

Sibulon also figured out what they were here for.

They're here to steal cars...

When Sibulon finished the conversation, Xiao Fu's good brother asked him to choose a car at random.

Siblon randomly picked a car that looked better.

When getting in the car.

The game reminded him to press the button to open the convertible, and the model of the car appeared.

Rama taunted, while roaring away, saying that he would arrive at the car dealership faster than anyone else.

Sibulon hurriedly started the car and chased after Rama who was gone.

Radio music blared.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the scenery keeps regressing.

A corner of the city unfolded before his eyes...

He widened his eyes slightly, and finally experienced the feeling in the promotional video for the first time.

He drove this cool convertible sports car on the busy main road.

Keep overtaking.

Because it is the first time to get started with the game, driving is not good enough, rear-end or close to the sidewalk is commonplace.

So he goes along the way.

It is almost the "speed and passion" enjoyed by screams and curses.

But also because of the cussing and the screaming, the bumping and the rear-end.

Let him experience for the first time... the real game world mentioned in the game promotional video.

really.

... This is the "Modern Scrolls"! ! !

play here.

The disappointment that Sibron had just played the prologue disappeared in an instant.

Even when he drove the battered and tattered car back to the dealership, he was still a little unsatisfied.

But he doesn't know yet.

That's not even the beginning...

When Xiaofu drove the car back to the car dealership, the game briefly explained his work and the background of the story.

then.

Control of the game is returned to the player.

As long as the task is not triggered actively, the player can do whatever he wants next.

When Sibron finished the plot CG, he regained control of Xiaofu at the back door of the car dealership, and then controlled Xiaofu to get in his car and open the map.

He took a deep breath.

Even without adding the unexplored and foggy areas.

The map that has been opened in the game is as complicated as the map in the real world!

"...really!?"

Sibulon looked at the map and couldn't help but marvel, then thought about it, and decided to believe his eyes.

See how big the game's map is.

He manipulated Xiaofu to start the car and started driving aimlessly.

Start touring the whole highly realistic sand table city where you can travel freely.

And when he drove aimlessly, he experienced the traffic system on the main stage of the game, saw all kinds of pedestrians who could interact, and saw complex scenes such as villages, ports, mountains, forests, deserts, rivers, and oceans.

Also TM saw an airport post!

He couldn't bear it anymore, stopped the car, and then manipulated the character to get out of the car, looked around the city in the game, and murmured: "WTF..."

What kind of game is this! ! ?
