War Paradise

Unlike several other DLCs, Pulse Entertainment clearly made a lot of effort this time. Not only did it make an announcement in advance, but it also conducted a live broadcast at night.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Chi, who was full of food and drink, leaned on the sofa, connected to the TV with his mobile phone, and activated the holographic projection function. In the open space in the middle of the living room, a small studio appeared instantly, making Lin Chi a kind of presence. Illusion.

Today, in addition to brain imaging devices, externally worn VR devices and projection AR devices also have extremely high fidelity. However, as Lin Chi saw in the game hall, no matter how "lifelike" traditional VR games are, they still have their limits.

Of course, using these things to watch live broadcasts is also a good choice.

The lights in the living room dimmed, and a few beams of light suddenly fell in the middle of the room, reflecting the slim figure of the hostess standing in the studio.

"Ah, hello everyone, I'm Xia Shuang, the host of the CHTV e-sports channel, and we meet again."

As in previous appearances, this long-haired woman is still wearing a pale black T-shirt with a skull pattern, with a fat face with a cold expression on her face.

The host of a live game show does not need to be very formal. Even the host of Xia Shuang's style is very popular in the game circle.

Looking at the pretty cute host, Lin Chi blew a whistle. Frankenstein, who was watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone, made a puzzled voice:

"Do you like this style."

"I just blow it casually." Lin Chi smiled awkwardly.

When he was chatting with Frankenstein, Xia Shuang spoke again. Following the host's voice, another beam of light cast down the bathroom door of Lin Chi's house.

"The guest invited by the studio today is Mr. Lu from the China branch of Pulse Entertainment." Xia Shuang introduced.

"So why does this stuff come out of the toilet?" Lin Chi joked casually.

"It's just a coincidence of the projection position." Frankenstein explained seriously.

"I know." Lin Chi said weakly, focusing on the man who had just walked out of the toilet door.

This seems to be the first time he has seen an employee of Impulse Entertainment. On the surface, this man with oily noodles, suits and leather shoes, and visually estimated to be about 30 years old, is no different from members of other game companies. However, in Lin Chi's view, as long as he is holding the title of "Pulse Entertainment Company employee", he will have a suspicious atmosphere.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lao Lu." The man didn't say his real name, but instead used the name "self-acquainted", and waved to Lin Chi who was sitting on the sofa: "I am very happy to be able to participate in today's live broadcast. program."

"Well, can I call you'Old Lu'?" Xia Shuang asked.

"Of course." Mr. Lu nodded: "I am here today to announce the details of the new expansion pack. I can assure you that the contents of this expansion pack will never disappoint you."

"So, this expansion pack is not a follower and equipment, but a new map." Xia Shuang took the conversation.

"Yes, the name of this map is Nightmare Eye." Mr. Lu said, "Because it is a special map of the expansion pack, the game rules and fighting methods of this map are very different from the previous maps."

"Evil DLC." Lin Chi said with emotion.

Nowadays, many game companies will disassemble a complete game before it is released, and the divided parts are the DLC that will collect additional money.

Of course, Lin Chi is more at ease about Pulse Entertainment's morals. After all, companies that can launch quantum computers into space cannot be short of money.

However, no matter how reliable Pulse Entertainment is, it cannot change the fact that players have to pay again...

"So, what's the price of this expansion pack?" Before Lao Lu started to explain, Xia Shuang asked all the audience questions.

"The price of this expansion pack is 198 yuan." Old Lu said.

As soon as this remark came out, there was no need to look at the situation in the forum. Lin Chi knew what comments the audience was making. The Frankenstein on the phone opened the projection of the forum page in response to the situation, and a large number of titles were constantly refreshing. Lin Chi's eyes:

"A map is sold for 198? Why don't you grab it?"

"This is too bad!"

"It's just a map, forget it..."

"Damn planning, do you think I will pay?"

Seeing those headlines, Lin Chi couldn't help but laughed out: "Ha, it really is like this."

In fact, the charging items of this game of War of Heaven are more conscientious than those krypton-free players whose recharges of tens of thousands of dollars are often worthless.

The game body of "War of Heaven" is free, and only a few expansion packs are charged. However, perhaps it is precisely because of the conscientiousness of the past that the paid map launched this time will make players have such a response.

——From a company with a conscience for the sake of players, it has evolved into a company with crazy money. This kind of example has appeared more than once in the history of games.

Most of the viewers who are expressing their opinions can afford more than one hundred dollars. Perhaps they have seen the lessons learned from the past, and when it comes to "learning from the past"...

"I remembered a joke."

Speaking of this, Lin Chi leaned lazily on the sofa: "There was a game company more than ten years ago. At a large game exhibition they held, the project announced at the finale turned out to be a mobile game. When players questioned , Their staff said:'Do you have no mobile phones?'"

"And then." Frankenstein asked.

"Then their garbage mobile game failed, and the company went bankrupt and was acquired."

Lin Chi and Frankenstein talked a few words, only to see Old Lu speak again, and a confident smile appeared on his expressionless face:

"I know that everyone who is watching the live broadcast may have opinions on this pricing. But I can guarantee that the content of this expansion pack is absolutely unprecedented."

Old Lu paused for a few seconds meaningfully, and continued: "To be precise, the'Eye of Nightmare' is not just a map, but a new game mode that we have developed for a long time. This game mode combines death. The competition, the descent mode, and the commander mode that has not yet officially appeared, can definitely give players an unprecedented new experience."

"The model that has not been officially released will be sold in the expansion pack first. This seems to be the usual routine of unscrupulous manufacturers..." Lin Chi sighed.

That being said, after listening to Lao Lu's explanation, he was already looking forward to it at this time.

Since the game of playing the old hunter, I haven't played the Advent mode much. Although this mode is very interesting, because the loot and entourage cannot be brought out of the game, even if you win, you can only get some skill points, which leads to this mode. The popularity of has always been relatively sluggish, completely incomparable with deathmatch.

Therefore, this time Pulse Entertainment Company intends to re-energize the Advent Mode, and through this so-called "Nightmare Eye", restore the popularity of Advent Mode to when it was first launched?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who had been slumped on the sofa, suddenly sat upright, listening to Old Lu, who was standing in the studio excitedly, continuing to introduce the content related to "Eye of Nightmare":

"I believe everyone is aware that the dozens of maps currently on the line of "War of Heaven" are connected in plot, and some of them are clear plot lines. For example, the'City of Chaos' has become after decades. It’s the'killer capital.' There are some plots that are more hidden, but there are also some plot-oriented players or strategy teams who discovered the existence of these hidden lines."

"Everyone’s guess is not wrong. At the beginning of the development of this game, all the maps were determined to be under the same complete world view, and then they were created. Of course, some of the special maps are the result of historical deviations. . For example, this is the case with the map of the'Institution City'."

Hearing what Old Lu said, Lin Chi smiled and said, "This is interesting."

——The integration of many of its works under the same world view, together to form a huge "universe", has been an old routine that has been popular since the last century. At that time, the two major comics giants in the United States, DC and Marvel Comics, both established their own worldviews, and these extremely large "universes" are still expanding today.

As a large-scale game that can fight in various maps, it is not surprising that War Paradise will choose this narrative mode.

However, the previous connection with the game plot was all speculation by the players. This is the first time that an official has personally acknowledged this fact.

Old Lu cleared his throat with excitement, and said loudly, "Now, we will reveal to you an important part of this world, the'Nightmare Dynasty' two thousand years ago!"

"On a continent in the east, a brilliant and glorious civilization once bloomed, and then quickly withered. The beginning of that civilization's decline was the period of time known as the'Nightmare Dynasty' by later generations."

"At that time, the emperor suddenly died, and the new king was unpopular. The country was divided into hundreds of territories of different sizes, each of which was controlled by a lord. The map of Nightmare Eye will tell about this. A story from a dark age!"

"I'm going, this is to let the players play the "princes" to fight for the rhythm of the world?" Lin Chi's originally godless eyes finally began to "shining".

According to Lao Lu's introduction, anyone can guess that in the "Eye of Nightmare" map, the players will be playing as the lord of the realm. Perhaps the only way to decide the outcome is to "become the ruler". But if this is the case, the time limit in each game of "War of Heaven" becomes the most important factor hindering players.

——No matter how powerful a lord, it is impossible to eliminate dozens of neighboring countries within five days and successfully unify the entire continent. It is conceivable that if such a map is really designed, Pulse Entertainment must also provide a way for players to quickly experience large-scale wars.

Lin Chi was thinking about it, and Old Lu had already answered his question:

"Every player who enters the map of the Eye of Nightmare will play the role of the lord of a piece of land, recruit troops to develop their own forces, and fight fiercely with other lords who are eyeing on."

"Of course, according to the rules of brain imaging game acceleration, we can only provide up to ten times the acceleration, and 120 hours of single game time in the game. However, in order to let the players'fight a happy battle', we refer to The old map "The Creator's Ark" simplifies large-scale battles."

"In the Nightmare Eye map, players can choose to freely switch their perspectives. You can choose to watch your territory through the'God's perspective' and check the status of the territory. You can also choose to return to the body of the'lord' and control the Lord to give orders. When using God’s perspective, the speed of the game will increase, and when returning to the normal first-person perspective, the speed of the game will return to normal."

"Whether you want to look down on this war from the sky, or go to battle in battle armor yourself, is up to the player to decide. We believe that the map of Nightmare Eye will not disappoint everyone!"

After Old Lu finished his explanation, Frankenstein commented: "I want to go back to play, too."

"It's really attractive." Lin Chi said with a smile.

——If this "Eye of Nightmare" expansion pack is really as intriguing as Lao Lu said, the price of 198 yuan is completely acceptable. At this time, the voices of questioning in the forum are also much less, replaced by a large number of posts discussing the content of the new expansion pack.

"Listening to you, there should be a magnificent battle on this map." Xia Shuang, who had been standing beside him silently, returned to Lao Lu and asked, "May I ask before this expansion pack is officially launched. Will not provide a short preview? For example, CG animation or projection."

"Well, it stands to reason that there should be..."

Old Lu smiled, and the front of the conversation suddenly changed: "But I believe everyone is also very clear about our style. In our opinion, the trailer may cause spoilers. In order to maintain the mystery, we will not until the expansion pack is officially launched. Provide any preview screens about what the'Nightmare Dynasty' looks like, and please go to the game to experience it yourself. You can experience this story for only 198 yuan, and it is definitely not a loss!"

"Pulse Entertainment's ad copy is still as bad as ever..." Lin Chi shook his head.

"Do you want to buy it?" Frankenstein asked.

"Buy, buy, buy." Lin Chi's answer was very concise.

Even though the man in the studio was selling off, after listening to that guy's introduction, Lin Chi had a keen interest in this new expansion pack. Moreover, the sudden release of a new map at this time may also hide mystery.

——Is this so-called "Nightmare Dynasty" related to Methuselah?
