A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

“Brothers, I will probably be broadcasting The Last of Us over the next few days. Challenge the highest difficulty, collect all, and analyze the plot. Also, I will make a video to talk about why this is a masterpiece.”

"Thanks to the brothers who stayed up all night and watched me until now. You have worked hard. Go and have a rest."

"For those who have never played the game but want to buy it, you should definitely buy a copy to experience it. It is truly a rare masterpiece!"

"Okay, today's live broadcast ends here. I'm going to log off first."

The game has been completed and Xiaobai has gone offline.

The fermentation of word-of-mouth has just begun.

After all, those who play games all night are a minority among the total number of players.

The vast majority of players just opened the game during the day to try it out.

By the third day, most of the first batch of players had completed the game.

Positive reviews all round.

In player ratings, it’s either 10 or 9.

The worst media rating is 4.5 points, and some points were deducted because of the overly realistic bloody violence.

What surprised many players was.

BGN, which has always been unhappy with Naughty Cat, also gave it a high rating.

BGN: 10 points for a masterpiece

[This is the first time I’ve seen BGN not point out any shortcomings in a game. The sun is rising from the west.]

[10 points, no surprises. Anyone who has played the game will not give a low score even if it doesn’t suit their taste.]

[What should I do? I used to like BGN, but now I like it even more (funny)]

@Electronic Arts Exhibition: It's a pity that I can't personally hand over the best game of the year trophy for such an excellent game

The Electronic Arts Exhibition's stance is very clear, and players are not surprised.

This is an award ceremony sponsored by Naughty Cat.

Is it fair not to praise Naughty Cat's game?
It’s just that the rules were set when the Electronic Arts Exhibition was founded.

Naughty Cat Game will not participate in the competition, leaving the applause and cheers to others.

Otherwise, other game manufacturers will have no chance at all.

Somewhat surprisingly,

@WGA Awards Ceremony: The suspense ends early

Today, the WGA’s influence is not as great as before, and its relationship with Naughty Cat, a company that the gaming industry cannot avoid, is somewhat awkward.

Being able to say this in such a situation can only mean one thing.

All the judges were impressed.

Let’s look at the gaming big names.

@一只小白白: This is the undisputed best masterpiece, a perfect combination of sound, picture and plot, an excellent work that players should not miss

@老薛爱打游戏: Do I need to think about the game of Naughty Cat? Go!

@王志诚, who can’t make games: If anyone doubts the Ninth Art’s claims, let him play The Last of Us.

Even amid the rave reviews, something odd emerged.

@P站: Calling for second-hand works of "The Last Survivor"

The comments below are hilarious.

【What is the last survivor???】

[This is to circumvent copyright. Naughty Cat’s legal department is not just there to do nothing.]

[Fuck, are there so many perverts in this world?]

From Bilibili to short videos, from players to anchors to the media.

Don't hesitate to give your applause.

But in this process, they will also be tortured.

[What about Souni? Come and learn how to make games! See what a story-driven game is]

[Even so, some people say that Souni modified the game using the plan from Lin Mo. I just want to ask if this is on the same level? ]

[There are always some crazy fans who like to gild their favorite games, and even have a self-destructing truck]

[In comparison, after seven days, it is just a thick pile of thanks]

Previously, the uncle party who broke the news had deleted the post and ran away.

There is no way, I can’t stand being rushed.

There is no difference without comparison.

Compared to the shitty gameplay, the lack of care in the story is even more infuriating.

As for Souni, he suffered a loss in silence.

Ito Makoto swore secretly.

This matter must never be known to the outside world.

Absolutely not!

Sonik can't afford to lose this person.

Especially after the game was beaten.

"Oh, I regret it."

Ito Makoto looked much older and let out a long sigh.

If he had known the quality of "The Last of Us" earlier, he would have been so scared that he wouldn't have dared to confront it head-on.

At the same time, he could also see some clues.

If nothing unexpected happens, the plan that he bought at a high price might really be from Lin Mo's hand.

Think carefully about the content.

The two games have many similarities, and even some of the plots can be connected together by changing their names.

Not to mention the gameplay.

Seven Days Later is simply a lower-level replacement for The Last of Us, or a younger version of it.

The popularity of the game gradually spread beyond the circle.

The first lesson for game developers is to understand that no matter how good a game is, it is difficult to appeal to everyone.

"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is known as the best in the world, but there is no way, many players just don't like this type of game.

No matter how good the game quality is, I won’t touch it.

In particular, the plot aspect of this game is relatively weak.

Many players attach great importance to plot and sense of immersion.

Not all players like the feeling of being too free in an open world, or just like to complete missions designed in advance by the game.

There were no such high-quality games on Switch before.

But now, with the emergence of "The Last of Us", the gap in the field of exclusive games has been filled, making the relatively shorter part of the barrel a little longer.

The most obvious thing is that the sales of Switch consoles have skyrocketed.

In the first week of The Last of Us' release, sales were 230% of the original.

This is just the beginning, far from the end.

As time goes by, the players' tap water and word of mouth are the most terrifying.

After a game is released, developers will significantly reduce or simply stop promotion and marketing.

Word of mouth can make a game remain popular even after many years.

Whenever you look at the game sales charts, a certain well-received masterpiece will not have a very good position, but will always hover between the top 10 and 20. When accumulated over time, the numbers are quite terrifying.

As word of mouth spread, many non-gamer groups also developed a strong interest in the game.

Netflix, which has had a good cooperation experience with Naughty Cat, also extended an olive branch, wanting to cooperate in the project of adapting the game into a TV series.

With such exposure, it also attracted many other players to join in.

Seeing that the enemy was so terrifying, Makoto Ito simply gave up the urge to kill the Switch on this generation of consoles.

It can't be done anymore.

The trend is established.

The pattern of three-way division of the world is inevitable.

In the console wars of previous years, the consoles from Microsoft and Sony were often preheated long in advance and released in the same year.

Even if the time is staggered, it will only be one year at most.

This time, the new generation of consoles is expected to be launched at the end of next year.

At that time, the Switch was in its prime.

That was the time when Ito Makoto had expected to decide the outcome.

Think of Naughty Cat and then think of Super Hard.

Ito Makoto gritted his teeth. "If I can win this time, I can win the next time! But you, a loser like Juhan, should take some action!!"

No one knows what measures Juying intends to take.

But fans who often follow game news and Baofeng Entertainment know that both companies have recently encountered some troubles due to the acquisition case.

We are currently in litigation with the two antitrust agencies, the FTC and the CMA.

Those who understand Western work efficiency understand it.

The two major institutions also started to disgust people at the same time.

Being timid today, being strong tomorrow.

Agree today, disagree tomorrow.

The materials were approved today, but tomorrow they said there was a lack of supporting evidence.

The process of pulling the saw and yanking the saw lasted for several months starting in January.

From heavy snow to blooming spring flowers, and then to hot summer.

During this period.

Baofeng Entertainment is also working hard to complete the gambling agreement.

Two of the three mountains collapsed, but fortunately, a large amount of funds was obtained by splitting the IP of Road to Heaven.

"Cosmic Rift", a teenage MMORPG, has become the last hope of Baofeng Entertainment.

The biggest feature of old games or word-of-mouth games is that they have countless tap water.

The cost of publicity and promotion is relatively low and the effect is better.

Even though many players have not played Rift Valley for a long time, the new expansion is coming out soon, and they will still talk about it from time to time when chatting and drinking with friends who fought together with them back then.

But there is one thing many players mention when chatting.

"The gaming world seems a bit dull this year, huh?"

Not only the players feel this way, the media also have the same doubts.

Electronic Arts has been in a slump and has experienced many internal changes and office politics. It is gradually transforming from being as productive as a sow to being a high-quality company and is still in the pain phase.

At present, we are still digesting previous projects, and the launch of high-quality projects is nowhere in sight.

After the sudden death of Soni in "Seven Days Later", although Playsquare console is still the leading player, it cannot stop the trend of the world being divided into three parts.

It's obvious that they're saving their strength for a new round of console wars.

The giant company is seeking to pursue the banner of subscription services and is arguing with two major institutions over an acquisition.

The moves by these companies are small and understandable to everyone.

But the most surprising thing is Naughty Cat.

After the huge success of "The Last of Us", it actually died down.

During this period, some small and medium-sized works were also released, but none of them were created by Lin Mo.

It's not even the work of the core members.

The sales volume and reputation are not bad, but they are not trend-setting or eye-catching either.

Some players lamented that this might be the year with the worst gaming lineup in the past decade.

But there were also media comments.

It’s not that the game lineup is the worst, but Naughty Cat’s production capacity has been significantly lower in the past two years.

The outside world is very curious.

Lin Mo, a legend in the gaming world.

What are you doing?
It is now September, and there has not been a single work in eight whole months.

This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.

Even many players are a little scared.

Is it possible that he is going to retire?
A lot of news is spreading.

Some say that Lin Mo and the core members of Naughty Cat are planning something big.

Some say that Lin Mojiang has run out of ideas and the new project is not progressing smoothly.

Some also say that Naughty Cat is being investigated.

There are even reports that Lin Mo has an illegitimate child and is trying to solve some problem.

At this moment, the person at the center of public opinion was trying out a game.

"Mr. Lin, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" A voice came from above his head in the empty pure white space.

Lin Mo closed his eyes and felt it carefully, then said, "The connection is good, there is no discomfort or sign of disconnection from the nerve connection."

"Okay, let's proceed with the scheduled project demonstration. Project one, creative testing, begins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pure white room in front of him expanded infinitely.

At the same time, black lines appeared on the pure white walls, floors, and ceilings, dividing the world into small pieces.

Then the white piece turns over.

The sky turned blue, the ground turned into land, there were mountains in the distance and rivers nearby.

However, they are all in mosaic style.

Lin Mo's mind moved, and a material selection column appeared in front of him. After selecting brick wall, he moved the tool in his hand.

On the ground in front of me, a brick wall with mosaic-style square bricks appeared.

Continue using the tool.

Bricks are connected into a line, then become a wall, and then covered with a roof, it becomes a house.

Place a torch in the house to illuminate the dim environment.

Place another bed and lie on it.

It will feel like lying on it.

"Okay, project 1 passed. Next, project 2, the five senses test, begins."

The cube flips again.

This time, Lin Mo appeared in a kitchen. There was also a kitchen next to it, but there was an AI-controlled character standing inside.

The picture is no longer in mosaic style, but in cartoon animation style.

With the command "start".

Lin Mo and the AI ​​character on the opposite side of the truck began to work together to make dishes.

AI needs to hand the ingredients to Lin Mo according to the customer's requirements, and Lin Mo needs to process the ingredients into dishes and then serve them.

Lin Mo needs to hand the plate back to the AI, which will then wash the plate and return it to Lin Mo.

The soup made gurgling sounds in the pot and bubbles kept appearing.

When AI washes dishes, the sound of the dishes and chopsticks colliding is crisp and pleasant.

Put the chili peppers on the fish fillets and pour hot oil on them. The freshness of the fish and the flavor of the chili peppers stimulated by the hot oil are mixed together, creating a fragrant aroma.

Take a bite, the fish meat is tender, fresh and fragrant, and at the same time the spicy taste is very appetizing.

Next dish, curry rice.

When holding a potato in your hand, you can clearly feel the different sizes and shapes. When you cut it into pieces, the chopping board will vibrate differently depending on the frequency of the cut.

When the sauce is simmering, the spoon can feel a slight blockage in the pot.

"Project 2 passed the test. Next, Project 3, thermal weapons combat test, begins."

The kitchen disappears, replaced by a scene called Quanfu Bank.

Lin Mo plays a fully armed gangster who comes to rob a bank.

Put up a sign saying "Service Out of Service" and walk into the bank.

Without saying a word, he fired a burst of bullets at the ceiling.

You can feel the recoil of the submachine gun in your hand, the smell of gunpowder and the clinking of bullet shells popping out.

A disobedient security guard tried to resist, and the AI ​​next to him shot without hesitation.

A gunshot rang out and the security guard fell straight down.

The security uniform on his chest was instantly stained red with blood.

Where there are bandits, there are naturally police.

A series of police cars rushed over with sirens blaring, and a fierce gun battle began.

In the end, the bandits were wiped out.

"The last item is the cold weapon combat test."

The scene in front of me changed again.

A town with Victorian Gothic architecture in the deep night.

Frenzied villagers, terrifying werewolves, and whispers of ancient gods.

Father Gascon is sometimes a man and sometimes a wolf.

Sometimes the meat saw is put together for lightness and agility, and sometimes it is spread out to attack, becoming stronger and stronger with each inch it grows.

Seeing the priest slashing at him with a knife, he nimbly drew his gun and fought back, his internal organs were hit and blood was everywhere.

Even when being cut, one could still feel slight pain.

"Zhou Yun, there is a problem with the pain feedback at the hit position. I was chopped when I was attacking, and my arm was in front of my chest. I didn't feel anything in my arm, but I felt pain in my chest and there was a wound."

"Okay, I've got that in mind, I'll keep debugging. Is that all for today?"

"Come here."

As he spoke, Lin Mo switched out of the system interface, chose to exit the game, and everything in front of him became dark.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

This is something similar to the massage chairs in shopping malls, except that it has some special devices at the head position that can just touch the head when you lie down.

There is a semi-enclosed cover on the outside of the "chair", which retracts backwards after Lin Mo wakes up, allowing the person inside to stand up and walk out.

The chair is all white with some blue accents, and the overall style looks very high-tech.

Get up from your seat.

Lin Mo yawned, then smiled and said, "Yes, the process of playing the game is like sleeping. It really feels like playing the game in a dream."

Zhou Yun nodded and said, "It's just that Mr. Lin, I still think it's more appropriate to call this thing a gaming chair. Why do you plan to call it a gaming cabin?"

"You don't understand, this is called sentiment." (End of this chapter)
