The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 221 219. Why BOMI? !

  For players who have never played Warcraft, it is very difficult to understand and be able to see the fun.

  This situation is like the future League of Legends. Players who understand know that this group of people are playing team battles, and the pig girl went in to zoom in, force the team to start, and immediately followed the prince and jumped in...

  Everyone has a skill operation with each other, and every bullet of EZ can accurately take away the opponent's ADC, and then Ryz will give him a second kill...

  But for players who have not played League of Legends, they are completely confused——

  What are these Bs doing?

  Why did it disappear all at once?

  This is only a few seconds away?

  It's boring to fight in groups, I didn't see anything clearly.

This is the situation in the conference room now. War3 players have to control more than a dozen units in a wave of team battles in the middle and late stages. You have to put the skills of each hero and control the actions and positions of each unit. , You not only have to be a commander, but also have to have very delicate operations. At the same time, taking into account the current situation of all units, let each unit react immediately.

And in the process of fighting with each other, you have to take care of the rear manufacturing and replenish your troops in a timely manner, not to mention multi-line operations. For example, the Juggernaut is here to fight monsters with you, and you have to grab the last knife and kill the monsters. Take away the dropped equipment and experience, and on the other side, you have to direct Thrall to open a mine with the orcs...

  After the whole process, the audience's biggest experience is——

   Seeing the player’s fingers fly randomly, the mouse keeps shaking, the screen is cut to and fro, cut to the point where you are upset, cut to the point where you want to vomit.

   "Ah~ no more, I feel dizzy, even more dizzy than watching others play CS..."

  Sister paper couldn't help it anymore, she pressed her chest with her hand, pushed the door and walked out.

  The other people looked at each other, the look in each other's eyes was self-evident——

  This is the legendary work of Blizzard?

  I feel like I can’t play.

  Don’t know what others think.

  ……

  After the demonstration, Cao Yang was very satisfied. Judging from the situation of the two players just now, Lao Yang has already adjusted the balance of the game quite well, except for the fact that he has to lose a little at his hand speed.

  The growth curve of each race, and the dynamic balance between them, Cao Yang thinks there should be no big problem.

  Moreover, in order to test the network conditions, the two people used the test machine to play the game through Battle.net. The performance was quite smooth. This shows that Liu Guangran and the others optimized the game platform and the bottom layer of the network quite well.

  Papa...

  In the meeting room, Cao Yang took the lead and applauded.

  Following other people applauded, there was thunderous applause in the conference room.

  Although some colleagues do not understand the game well, it does not prevent them from understanding that this game is a magical work.

  Since there are so many players all over the world like it, what does it matter if we don’t understand it?

   "Very good, great, I am full of confidence in this game, we will definitely sell it!"

  Cao Yang clenched his fist and laughed in relief.

  Lao Yang and Ma Tianyuan received his encouragement and behaved extremely happy.

   "It will definitely sell out!"

  Next, just wait for the release.

  ……

  Now that the test has been completed, Bomi began to spare no effort to promote "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne".

  This time the sale is really synchronized globally. English-speaking countries, Chinese-speaking countries, sticks and Japanese-speaking countries are simultaneously released...

  The reason why sticks are taken into consideration is that they have to do a good job of localization because the country of sticks is a big competitive country.

  Regardless of the country’s small size and population, it’s the world’s number one player in the field of e-sports.

  The world's No. 1 has begun since the interstellar era, so the history of Chinese people fighting against sticks has a long history, and it will continue until 20 years later. In the League of Legends era, the Chinese people are still [cold resistance].

  If there is no stick to participate, then e-sports will have a lot less fun, especially for a masterpiece like war3, the stick must be sent.

  The sales day has not arrived yet, and the advertising comes first.

  Soon cities in various countries, as long as there are software stores, there will be war3 advertisements.

  Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne poster is quite handsome.

  The cover is that Arthas, who has become the Lich King, wears the armor of the Lich King, wears a helmet, and holds Frostmourne in front of him with cold eyes.

   "Wow! I've been waiting for a year, it's Fake! Blizzard is messing up! How come it is released now?"

"Yeah, I remember that the last version should be released in July of the previous year? Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos has been released for more than a year. The expansion pack Frozen Throne only came out, and Blizzard is too insincere. Bar?"

  Before Bomi acquired the copyright of Warcraft, in July 2002, Blizzard released "Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos", which was also Blizzard's last Warcraft series.

   has become Blizzard’s swan song.

After that, all sales and production related to Warcraft were transferred to Bomi. Until now, Bomi still has income from selling pre-Warcraft discs every month. Although not much, it probably has a few monthly It looks like a hundred thousand dollars, but mosquito legs are also meat.

  Furthermore, according to Cao Yang's idea, the IP of Warcraft will be terrific in the future, far more than these prices.

   "Hey, just get used to it. Blizzard is the famous bouncer. Now it's quite amazing to be able to show you the poster of the Frozen Throne."

   "The poster says that it will be sold simultaneously on August 1st. I doubt it."

   "Same doubt, according to Blizzard's urine nature, it will be a ghost if it can be posted on August 1st."

  "Who knows, what if Blizzard suddenly figured it out this time? What if their development this time is extremely smooth, and the numerical adjustments are also unimpeded?

  Anything is possible. "

   "I don't believe it, if Blizzard can post it on August 1, I will eat shit."

  "Wait a minute, I think you have any misunderstandings. Haven't you read the posters carefully? The distribution company written on it is not Blizzard at all, okay?"

   "Hey? Isn't it Blizzard? Who else can it be?"

"You must not scare me. I am a very courageous person, and I am easily scared of heart disease. I will first see what the facts are. When you wait for my return, I will use the proof to give the rumors ruthlessly. A lesson."

   "Fak!! I'm back, it's really not Blizzard."

   "What is that? We are not affected by aliens? How come the memory is biased?"

   "It's a company called BOMI!"

   "Fak!!! Fak!!! Fak!!! Fak!!! Fak!!! Isn't it? Why is this? What kind of company is this, I have never heard of it."

   "Fak! I remember, do you remember that at the beginning of last year, Vivendi wanted to sell the entire game business unit?"

   "Remember, but didn’t it not sell afterwards? Could it be that my memory was tampered with? That was too scary? Oh! God!"

"Yes, I also remember that Blizzard was not sold. At that time, the people from Blizzard North were not satisfied with Vivendi's sale of the game department, so they threatened to resign and ran away. But Warcraft was obviously not made by the people from Blizzard North. It's still in Blizzard's hands."

   "Yeah, I think so too, how could it suddenly become BOMI? Could it be that Blizzard changed the name?"

   "Wait, do you remember that another version was circulating at the time?"

   "Fak! Don't tell me, I'm timid, if you tell me I will hit you!"

   "Could it be some supernatural event? It's terrible!"

"No, listen to me. At that time, there was another version of the statement: Although Vivendi did not sell Blizzard, a mysterious buyer from China bought the copyright of the entire World of Warcraft from Vivendi. , In other words, since then, Warcraft is no longer owned by Blizzard!"

   "Fak!!! I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, don't say! Fak! How can such a thing happen? Are Vivendi's people stupid?"

  "It's over! It's over! It's over! It's over! Warcraft has been developed by someone else. Is it still the Warcraft we are familiar with? Can this Chinese company really do a good job of Warcraft?"

   "It's over... I don't want to buy this game anymore. What should I do? Can I still have the original fun after leaving Blizzard's war3?"

   "Oh! God, this is more terrible than the doomsday! I would rather accept the doomsday than the creator of Warcraft called BOMI!"

  "BOMI, you guys, just listen to this broken name, you know it's going to die."

  ……

  Before Bomi is about to release "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne", Cao Yang held a press conference on behalf of the company's production team.

  This is the old tradition of Blizzard, but it is the first time for Bomi.

  Before, Cao Yang had only one press conference when the QQ show was online.

  Bomi held a press conference, which can be regarded as giving enough face to "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne".

  Shan Hai Jing had never enjoyed this treatment before, but now Cao Yang thinks about it and feels a little bit at a loss.

  The press conference is actually a warm-up part, to better show the content of the new game to the world, and at the same time to declare the company's emphasis on this game.

  Because "Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne" is a product that has attracted worldwide attention, the previous works have achieved success around the world. As of last year, Bangziguo has also regularly competed in the world of superstar WCG every year.

  So the popularity is definitely enough. The scene was full of reporters from game channels of different media companies.

  At the same time, there are many war3 players who come here especially.

  Chinese players account for the vast majority, and there are not many foreign players.

  A few of them are from countries where they are native English speakers by looking at their hair color and eyes.

  In addition, some great professional players were also invited to the scene.

  ……

After the press conference began, Cao Yang stood in the center of the stage, behind which was a huge projection screen.

  The major media pointed the camera at Cao Yang.

  A new female reporter can't move her eyes.

   "Boss Cao is too handsome, right?"

  Before other people said I didn’t believe me, I didn’t expect to see a real person so beautiful.

   Boss Cao was really wronged when he started a company. People like him should make his debut.

  It’s a pity that the film and television industry is missing a pretty boy.

  "Welcome everyone. Today is the first time since our company took over the copyright of Blizzard's Warcraft, we brought the sequel to Warcraft 3 to meet you all."

  The press conference began, and Cao Yang stood in front of the stage and gave a speech calmly.

  Countless pairs of eyes focused on him.

   "So, I am very honored to stand here today to promote and showcase such a celebrity-level product."

  Many Chinese audience members also became excited.

  For war3 players, it is a great event for Bomi to get the copyright of Warcraft. It is really worth seeing a company in his country release such a product in his lifetime.

  There is an incredible sense of unreality.

After Cao Yang delivered his opening remarks, he moved a few positions to the side to let out the big screen.

  But even so, there are still some teenage reporters who point their camera at Cao Yang.

  "Let me demonstrate for you what exactly has changed in this new game."

   Cao Yang was talking, the screen changed, and he cut to the screen of the demo machine.

  In order to cooperate with today's demonstration, the in-game process and AI are all adjusted. Magicyang sits in front of the computer, and uses GM commands to cooperate with monsters and call out the corresponding enemies very skillfully.

  The first demonstration for everyone is the race of night elves.

  First, it will demonstrate the construction of the building.

  Lao Yang used the mouse to select an elf, then controlled it to fly to the top of a clearing, press the shortcut key, and quickly built a main tree.

  An animation of tangling branches immediately appeared on the ground, and it looked like a big tree was growing.

  ……

  Over time, it took about an hour or so. At the press conference, Cao Yang demonstrated the characteristics of the 4 races, including characteristic buildings, heroes, new neutral heroes, and battles.

In this era, the Frozen Throne showed a very advanced sense of design. No matter the architectural details or the details of the characters and animals inside, even the wolf that Thrall was riding on, the footprints left on the ground can be clearly seen. See.

"This game has made some adjustments in the game function, and more importantly, we introduced a very rich plot in the battle," Cao Yang smiled slyly, "I won't be spoiled here, but I can promise. The battle plot of this game is definitely the best in history, and everyone can experience it for yourself when that time comes."

  Yes, the plot of this work can be described as a swan song.

  You will find that after playing the battle of the Frozen Throne, the whole person is not good.

  The original human prince, a hero who saved the world, finally put on the crown of the Lich King and became the new Lich King.

  The dragon slayer finally becomes the evil dragon.

  So in this world, what else can you believe in?

   Arthas is the soul character of the first half of the story of Reign of Chaos, and the terminator of the story of the Frozen Throne. From the human prince who is troubled by hatred to the undead king who ordered the killing of mankind; from the paladin who uses the power of light to the death knight who wields Frostmourne; from the beginning of the journey of investigating the clues of the undead to sitting on the ice The throne has become a symbol of the undead...It can be said that as long as the story of Warcraft 3 is mentioned, it is impossible to ignore the existence of Arthas.

  This character combines contradiction and tragedy, and his personal charm has been exerted to the extreme. Even the [Frostmourne] he holds in his hands is full of sadness.

  It is from this one that Arthas has become a classic image that everyone can never forget in the history of Warcraft.

  So Cao Yang's wording here is quite accurate.

  It’s just another matter if others believe it or not.

  The whispers of everyone immediately came from below:

  "Bomi’s boss is really too bragging, right? How dare to say anything, is it possible that Bomi knows their culture and story better than Blizzard?"

"Anyway, I don’t believe it. It’s not that this demo video is not good. At least I think the Frozen Throne made by Bomi is okay after watching it today. At least it’s okay against the game, but Boss Cao insists that their game is on the battlefield. It’s the most outstanding work. I’m going to put a big question mark on it."

   "Yes, just listen to it, don't take it seriously, for the sake of publicity, understandable, occasionally bragging, just to sell the game better in the future."

  After listening to the translation, the stick players had the same thoughts and smiled contemptuously at each other.

  However, the game made by Bomi today, from the video point of view, should not have a big problem in terms of functionality. Even if the battle is done poorly, it doesn’t matter much. As we all know——

  A competitive game does not require a plot.

After Cao Yang introduced the entire game, he returned to the center of the stage with the microphone.

He smiled and said, "In order to make war3 flourish, so that players who like e-sports all over the world can enjoy its fun, and also let those talented players in the war3 field bring wonderful games to players in the world. Mi Company stated that we will hold two seasons of competitions every year, and at the same time, we will give out 500,000 US dollars each season as a reward for the competition. We also hope that capable players can participate."

  This remark immediately caused a sensation in the audience.

  Fuck!

  "What did I hear just now? Bomi is actually going to host a war3 game? And two seasons a year, 500,000 per season?"

   "Gosh, this is too scary, isn't it?"

   "Is Bomi so rich?"

   "WCG doesn't have so many bonuses, right?"

  WCG is a world e-sports competition, a global e-sports event, founded in 2000.

  This event is hosted by Korea International Electronic Marketing Company (InternationCyberMarketing, ICM).

  The competition has always been "beyondthegame" as the slogan, with the goal of promoting the global development of e-sports, aiming to promote people's communication, interaction and exchange in the Internet age, and promote the harmony and happiness of human life.

  You need to know that in the WCG competition in October last year, the prize money provided by the organizers of the stick country was only 350,000 US dollars, and multiple projects were divided into this part.

  The total prize pool of the Warcraft game seems to be less than 80,000 US dollars.

   Boss Cao actually wants to get 500,000 US dollars in one go, and it is available for two seasons a year, this news is really amazing.

  ……
