The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 186

Anyway, the Speed ​​team finally released "Speed", which was a tragic car crash with Lupa.

Because the previous masterpiece with the biggest publicity and the highest investment in this round is also undisputedly the first hero of Nintendo this time, the sudden death of the king of kaosan "Star Wars", it seems that they have no chance of survival.

Apart from other things, "Star Wars" is really popular. It is the only one that can compete with "Black Myth" for headlines these days - of course, it is negative popularity.

During the Maodou exhibition, Youxuan released a large number of preliminary results and new PVs that can be viewed with a helmet.

There's new stuff released every day.

In order to build up expectations, Gu Meng went against his usual practice and started hyping up the game halfway through.

In the past, I didn’t post things so frequently and shoot so many PVs.

During the production of Black Myth in the previous life, a lot of things had been released in various PVs, so much so that Youke was thinking about how to hide things to give players some surprises and mysteries. Now, in order to maximize the expectations of this version, Gu Meng has...

This is different from the concept in the previous life. They continued to attract attention in order to invest and recruit people, so much so that some people suspected that they were just making empty promises to deceive investors. Domestic manufacturers have done this, and there are definitely foreign manufacturers who have done this as well. There are always scammers in any industry where there are many people.

Later, I continued to release PVs to give players confidence, to prove that I was working and not a liar. I also kept communicating and collecting player suggestions. I spent several years operating this IP and accumulated a lot of experience.

It makes players feel like they have won the jackpot and now their girlfriend, who they have been dating online for several years, is actually a real beauty and it’s not a scam.

Of course, there is also a simple feeling that Chinese games have finally produced something truly amazing that can be boasted about to hardcore players, and we must support it.

When they have too high expectations for some PVs, they should lower their expectations appropriately. In the New Year greetings video, I tell you that sometimes I put on makeup and only show you my pretty side. Don’t think of me as a perfect woman, oh no, a perfect game.

Gu Meng would not do this. He wants to give players unlimited confidence. The more confident the players are, the harder Brother Tongzi will work. If he lowers expectations, it means he has finished the game.

In the past, although Youke as a whole did not directly advertise and follow the process like the big companies, which seemed very professional but sometimes also a little insincere, it was not common for them to only use real-machine PV to attract tap water at that time, but they had a very normal publicity and promotion idea.

Gu Meng's move was to raise expectations crazily. There were no fancy, step-by-step techniques, just fierce attacks.

There is more to be put in, which is to collect the players' wishes for Brother Tongzi to the greatest extent within a year.

In addition to the story PV of the Spider Spirit, there is also a live-action short film featuring Gu Meng and some actors, and a new PV for the Baiguling level.

At the previous Cologne Exhibition, the Shaanxi storyteller Huang Fengling and the Black Myth version of the Rebirth Mantra "Namo Amitabha Yaduotaka Duoyediyata" also came out. The Rebirth Mantra was originally the final PV.

The bgm of the Rebirth Mantra in that PV is still the same, and it was quite popular at that time. Sometimes it feels a bit of a pity to use it in an ineffective battle... But it's good enough that it can be used. Some things in the PV have not been used yet.

Compared with the previous life, these PV pictures show more levels. Xiao Xitian and Black Wind Mountain do not take up much space. Almost all of them are pictures of new levels, and there are more transformations shown.

Gu Meng was wondering how many hours the game would take to complete, and how many new things would be added to keep the players fresh. At least the first round must not cause boredom or be too repetitive.

In terms of mechanism, the spirit system can now be combined with the transformation system to have more changes.

In short, there are already more things in the PV than all the things in the original Black Monkey in the previous life combined, and this is the case only if you count the PC version.

The Maodou exhibition only lasts for a week, but he really has new films coming out every day to deliver to players. Each film is very long, so you can catch up on it.

During the exhibition, they used the black technology they had obtained in recent years to do some fancy things. The Four Heavenly Kings were walking in the clouds in the sky of Donghua City, and there were 100,000 heavenly soldiers on the Internet to catch various memes of the participating players. The tickets to Donghua City were sold out long ago.

Because the game has been expanded, it is obviously different from the previous game during the completion process.

So it is natural that there will be new PVs. Even if there is no reference in the previous life when shooting these things, the work of Gu Meng and You Xuan will not be worse than that of the previous life.

"Fast and Furious" was obviously crushed by You Xuan in all aspects. It didn't even have any production concept to brag about. I didn't have much hope for it after the death of Xingming Special Attack.

It's just a relatively formulaic porting of the Hurricane series racing gameplay to a helmet platform. When the production team themselves were interviewed, there was actually nothing much to brag about, and they just used the same formulaic rhetoric as before.

However, they appeared to be quite normal on the surface, especially after learning from the previous lessons of the North American studio, they kept a very humble attitude.

He just said that all the changes made during the testing period were thanks to the players.

As a result, many gameplays that they were originally trying to move to the helmet platform or the direction of their efforts are now said to be the players' suggestions, and the banner of listening to advice is held high.

The main reason is that there are no good cards to play. The early marketing of Xingming Special Attack was very hype, but the backlash was also serious.

They couldn't think of any good solution at the moment, so they just had to be nicer (insolent towards the Emperor).

I also told Hongdou Ni privately about it when I quit the game and returned the helmet.

What else do you want?

The delay time is enough now, and returning the helmet is the best solution. The Renni family is a big family with a lot of assets, and they won't run away just because of such a small matter.

Even if all the escort masterpieces fail miserably and the first generation of Nintendo's helmet is a complete failure and millions of units cannot be sold, although this kind of thing is devastating, it will take at least two or three times for him to really show a clear decline.

This is indeed the case with the Japanese team, which is in stark contrast to the previous North American ghost animals. In fact, there was no change. The game was finalized a long time ago and there were no major changes until the end, but they collapsed very quickly.

Wu Mengyou from Youxuan also asked the players who had participated in the closed-door test in Japan. Their attitude was not like this some time ago. They probably wanted to save something.

But the game itself is okay after several revisions. It doesn't have any major weaknesses or highlights.

There are also balance and built-in krypton gold, but these are actually okay in the category of car games. As long as they are not too outrageous, car games can be like this.

After all, high-end cars are of course much faster than low-end cars, and the selling point of limited edition skins is reasonable.

If it weren't for Lupa's previous work "Forza" which was completely comparable to it, and if they had maintained their usual conscience in the gaming industry and almost did the opposite in many aspects of advising people not to spend money, it would have been surrounded in all aspects and had no major breakthroughs, otherwise it would definitely have sold very well.

After Gu Meng is done with his work, he might go and play patiently for a while——

He got the game before it was released and played it for a few minutes. It wasn't some real business war to steal the disc, he just did some simple hacking.

Don't get me wrong, Gu Meng has no intention of using it for any commercial purpose or cracking it to make pirated copies. After all, he is already invincible, and he wouldn't be so tasteless as to use it for real business battles.

It was just a curious glance, so if no one else caught on, it wouldn't count as cheating. After reading their inside information, Gu Meng felt that this group of people were really unlucky.

This node is too embarrassing. An all-round enhanced version has just been released. It is too embarrassing. It is not my fault. It seems that it will be difficult to recover the cost.

It might have been no problem to make a profit, as stealth games are still a blue ocean right now.

If it were Gu Meng who faced this hellish situation of extreme speed, he could only ask Brother Tongzi to optimize it to the point where he could crush the opponent with hard power before competing on the main road.

Unfortunately, this is the only one who can do this.

So this group of people are now in a situation where they have to leave everything to fate. They can't give up struggling, knowing that there is little hope and a high probability of losing money, and they can't save the sales of the first generation of Rennie, but they can't really do nothing either.

He just read out the speech half-heartedly and went through the motions.

Everything that can be done has been done, and everything that can be changed has been changed. Giving up is impossible, and increasing the stakes is also impossible. It is better to find someone to take the blame or think of an excuse to gain support, while also promoting it around the world. That's it.

Before that, they stayed at the Maodou exhibition for a few days and then participated in various game and variety show activities - this kind of thing exists in this world.

There is also the simplest interview report - title: We are determined to create a good gaming social experience and establish a good atmosphere in the early stages.

...Host: In terms of social experience, what demands have players put forward, and have these demands received timely feedback?
Development Team: Social experience is an ongoing topic, encompassing the diverse needs of everyone from those with social anxiety to those who are actively socializing. Players generally dislike "forced" or "forced" socializing, preferring a relaxed, natural, and burden-free social atmosphere.

During the testing process, we observed that players would spontaneously organize competitions in the big world by sending coordinates and other methods.

Based on this, the project team decided to add custom track gameplay, allowing players to invite friends and race freely in the big world.

Due to the limited number of players during the testing period, it is difficult for us to fully grasp the ecology of players with different social needs.

But please rest assured, we will continue to pay attention to player feedback after the product is launched and continuously optimize social gameplay to provide a high-quality social experience.

Host: Thank you very much for sharing. At the end of the interview, is there anything you would like to say to the players who participated in the test and have been following the game?
Production Team: We know that players' opinions and suggestions are crucial.

We will treasure every piece of feedback and discuss it with the project team to continuously improve the product. At the same time, we also hope that players will continue to pay attention to our product dynamics and work with us to create a better social experience.

Since this game has made many innovations in its mechanics, first-time players may feel a little uncomfortable.

However, with the joint efforts of the project team and players, many test players gradually delved into the game and rediscovered the passion of racing and the charm of racing games.

During the testing and research process, the distance between players and the project team continued to narrow, forming unique gaming memories.

In the first generation of Nintendo, playing this game will definitely bring players a different experience.

……

It only says that it is a different experience, but it does not say that it will give players a better experience than playing car games in the first generation of Youxuan.

Honestly speaking, using the first generation Nintendo will definitely make you more dizzy and the level of realism will be lower. No matter how you modify it, it won't change. Maybe you can improve it to the level of a master of running away in a few more years, but it will not be worth it.

They originally aimed at the lack of similar games, and used the fact that Gu Meng's previous game, The Runaway Master, was full of big vehicles as a breakthrough point. They never expected that they would be overtaken suddenly, and the plan changed too quickly.

In addition to appearing on the show, there are also very normal water armies on the Internet, and some of the internal test players have either received money or have done public relations.

Make sure to give the game good reviews as soon as it is released. Actually, Star Attack also did this, but it had too many flaws, and after chapter 8, it had no fans at all. The effect of Speed ​​Rush was relatively better, and it seemed okay when it was first released.

"This game feels like a companion that I've grown up with. I remember playing the then domestically licensed PC version of Forza Motorsport on my Nintendo console almost a decade ago. When Forza Motorsport was released, I immediately gave it a try. I'm convinced that this innovative racing game format will bring me a whole new experience, allowing me to relive the passion and excitement of racing."

——Fei Fei Fei sings the charming giant
"As a realistic racing game, Need for Speed ​​not only offers a traditional track racing experience but also incorporates various gameplay modes like heat pursuit, bringing players a smooth driving experience. This kind of gameplay fun is indispensable and is the common goal pursued by the project team and players. Through multiple tests and research, we work together to create the most exhilarating racing mobile game."

——I am just a lazy person

But the real review is this:
"A completely weakened version of Forza"

"It is not recommended for non-true fans of Kuangbiao or Rennie fans to buy it"

"Really didn't copy it?"

"It would have been too late to really copy it, it would have been a tragic car crash."

"This is probably what the car game is like when it's moved to the stealth mode. It's hard to say who copied whom, but no one has escaped early. The Wuling Hongguang Entertainment Race is completely a racing game."

"What a pity, if we have Yu, why do we have Liang?"

This is the real evaluation.

Our money doesn't come from the wind, right?

If there were no similar games, it might really bring a lot of sales to the first generation of Nintendo, but now there are superior cards.

Then he really doesn't need to buy it. It would be a great honor for Rennie if he could experience it in an offline store.

The main reason is that there is nothing sensitive about Lupa's car game, and because of the earlier public relations and resource exchange, stealth games have gradually become popular.

Without even an overseas market, we are truly hopeless and don’t know what other cards we can play.

To put it bluntly, this game would be a proper Escort masterpiece if it weren't for Forza Motorsport.

With Forza Motorsport, his simulation is not realistic enough, so he can only be the icing on the cake, just half a signboard, and can play a supporting role.

In the end, no miracle happened.

The first generation of Rennie helmets fell silent and the first shot was not fired.

The next time there will be news will probably be when Ghost Tokyo comes out, which is still under emergency bug fixes and has not yet been launched.
