The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

   Chapter 281 279. Warriors! See you in Azeroth!

   "Yes," Cao Yang held the microphone and smiled slightly.

   "You guessed right, this is the expansion piece "Pandaman Mystery" of "Warcraft 3" produced by our company"

  Throughout the whole speech, Cao Yang was narrating in Chinese, and the translator next to him was translating what he narrated in real time.

  Hearing this news, many war3 players below were instantly excited.

   "Gosh, what did I hear?! Bomi is developing an expansion for war3?"

  "This is more terrifying than my mother pulling me out of the quilt in the morning. Oumaika, a Chinese company, does war3? Is this possible?"

   "Yeah, is this possible?"

  Before, Bomi was able to send out Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, and it was able to land smoothly. Most players in the world do not think it is Bomi’s own R&D strength, nor do they think it is Bomi’s credit.

  In public opinion, they believe that Bomi is all stunned by Blizzard, because Blizzard has already completed the relevant games before delivering the game to Bomi, and Bomi only needs to perform some simple debugging.

Some people even say that Bomi didn’t even do debugging, but on the basis that Blizzard had already done it, some low-level code was added so that this game can be deeply bound with the AIR game platform, which is what everyone saw last. What war3 looks like.

  People think that the sale of Warcraft by Vivendi is definitely a major tragedy in Blizzard’s history, and it is also the biggest tragedy of Warcraft. Because Bomi is a Chinese company, they don’t know what Warcraft is.

  They also don’t know how to make war3 well.

  Even now, people are generally pessimistic about Bomi’s Warcraft.

  And now, after the Frozen Throne, Bomi re-launched a new expansion and made the fifth race. The audience on the scene was surprised and almost couldn't believe it was done by Bomi.

  Because from the video demonstration, at least in the design of the screen and the character model, Bomi has done quite well, not only retaining the oriental characteristics of the panda, but also allowing this race to perfectly fit into the game world of war3.

  In the character design, there is a feeling of combining Chinese and Western.

   is really unexpected.

After   , Cao Yang played the following in-game demo video on the spot, showing the audience some design points of this new race:

  For example, what are the buildings and units of the race, and what are the biggest characteristics of this race? What are the characteristics of the hero...

  Probably what are the changeable combat methods and so on.

  After listening, the non-war3 players are in the cloud, and they only think that they are super awesome.

   "Awesome, I sounds very interesting, this Panda race, the character image is really cute, I want to buy one."

   "Yes, I also find it very interesting. The race made by the Chinese themselves is not a random fabrication, but it gives you a very reasonable and imaginative feeling."

   "These panda people are really so cute... I seem to have seen the houses on the Internet before. They are indeed buildings in China, and the panda hero with a big knife seems to have seen it somewhere..."

  ……

  Non-war3 players do not understand game design, including the combination of arms, how to play the game, and how to fight, but they are very interested in the design and graphics of the game itself.

  And the inner shock of the war3 players can't be added...

  I wanted to say something, but when the words came to my lips, I found that I couldn’t say anything.

  Because they wanted to refute the unreasonable points in the design, but after careful thinking, they found out——

It turns out that the Chinese design is so meticulous. A panda race has been designed into a system. All the designs are centered on the characteristics of the new race, and while surprising you, it won’t make you feel it. What is unreasonable.

  In terms of skill design, class collocation, and the entire Pandaren system framework design, this expansion piece really does quite well.

  So even if they want to provoke, they find that they really don’t know where to provoke it for a while.

   Carefully stroked it again, and the war3 players were surprised and painful to find out——

  They just want to play this new race early, and only after the real experience can they pick out the faults in the actual operation.

  It's hard to find the dissatisfaction just by watching the demo.

  ……

  This is actually a very natural thing, after all, the Pandaren project team has been developing for such a long time, and has conducted many user experiences and modified and adjusted based on feedback.

  The big unreasonable places have been revised long ago. As for whether there are any omissions in the small details, Cao Yang can't guarantee this.

  But those things are not so important anymore, such as numerical balance, which may need to be released for players to experience for a period of time before they can be adjusted based on actual feedback.

  Now the sample size is relatively small, and the things that can be done are relatively limited.

   But even the current degree of completion is already a standard for external release.

  So the players who watched the demo on the spot frequently exclaimed.

   "Gosh, who can believe that this is a game made by a Chinese company? I can't fault it from the design and graphics anyway."

"Hmm... It seems that the transfer of the copyright of Warcraft to Bomi is not necessarily a bad thing. At least Bomi’s creativity is present. It is possible to imagine the fifth race and incorporate Chinese cultural elements. In this regard, it may not be possible to leave it to Blizzard personnel to do it well."

Hearing this, a Chinese player immediately expressed his point of view next to him: "In fact, Chinese culture really needs a lot of experience and research to make it well. If you watch the games that Blizzard has done before, you will find this. One point, some Chinese elements may be cool to them and interesting to players, but in the eyes of Chinese players, this may be the feeling of a Westerner wearing Chinese skin.

  I don’t know if you can understand what I said, but what I want to express is--

  At least in this Pandaren expansion, as a Chinese, I can feel the Chinese flavor brought by this new race.

  This shows that Bomi has done quite well. "

   "Yeah, I agree." said a Chinese next to him, "So many times you still have to do what you know and are good at, otherwise it's easy to make jokes.

  At least this time Bomi did it quite right. "

"Although I don’t know what the real Chinese culture is like, but I watched Bomi’s presentation, I think this new race is really interesting, and the design is really good, the only thing that is doubtful is that afterwards, the actual Will the effect of the release be as good as we see now." A white player said next to him.

"Yes, after all, war3 is a competitive game. This thing does not mean that adding a race can make the whole game better." A Korean player joined the exchange in not-so-natural English. "Finally, This game still looks at balance, and when the number of races in the game exceeds 5, the difficulty of balancing will increase greatly. I actually doubt whether Bomi can do a good job at this point."

   "Hmm... Indeed, it looks like the Pandaren looks like a stunt. If there is no follow-up substantial effect, and the game does not meet expectations in the end, then this design has failed."

   "Who knows? That depends on the effect after the final release, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the stunt given by Bomi is quite sufficient. I should buy it for this new race."

  ……

After the demonstration of   Warcraft·Pandaman Mystery, Cao Yang stood in the middle of the stage with a triumphant and charming smile on his face.

   "I don't know how you feel after reading it?"

"For us, in the process of making Pandaren Mystery, it is really a natural enjoyment." Cao Yang smiled, "We have a lot of fun by ourselves, and we hope to bring more happiness to everyone. ."

"Here, I have to thank Vivendi and also Blizzard. It is precisely because Blizzard, as a guide, contributed such a good game and such a wonderful story and worldview, so that we can build on the previous foundation. To continue to produce better works."

  Hearing what Cao Yang said, everyone turned their attention to the Blizzard people in the audience.

  This time the producer of Blizzard Diablo Online is quite embarrassed.

  Because he didn't know whether he was praised or humiliated.

  You have to say that you have been praised. I always think it's weird.

  But you have to say you were humiliated, but Boss Cao praised you, saying that you have contributed a series of great works.

  What do you really want to say——

  Mohami can only say that Vivendi’s top executives are simply a bunch of pigs.

  If Warcraft is still in the hands of Blizzard, they will not only have a great past, but also a great future.

  ……

   Just as everyone was sighing for the new Pandaren of Warcraft, Cao Yang changed his words, "Warcraft is really a very good story.

  Even with real-time strategy, we can feel the infinite charm in the game, about half-orcs, about elves, about humans and the Scourge...

  There is too much room for reverie. "

   Cao Yang's words led everyone to make associations.

  Players who have played war3 reviewed the battles they fought in the game before, including some very classic game images and the stories behind them, and were immersed in the words of Cao Yang.

   "So," Cao Yang smiled, "Bomi is not just about extending Warcraft in the battle game. To this end, we also made a bolder attempt.

  We have enriched and perfected the events that happened before the entire World of Warcraft and the entire world view, and turned it into such a game. "

   Cao Yang turned around as he said, a brand new picture appeared on the big screen.

  A magnificent city wall appeared in the picture, with a huge high door in the middle, the door locked tightly.

  There are some war equipment piled up around it, which is extremely solemn and solemn.

  At the same time, a voice rang:

  "Beyondthegatesofmightykingdoms" (passing through the gates of the kingdom)

  The camera moves forward, and the door opens in response.

  A golden light shone through the door.

  "Liesavastunexploredworld" (is a vast unknown world)

  The light overflowed the entire screen.

  "A world where glory flies away."

  The picture turns, and it turns into a prairie in the brilliant dusk, illuminated by the sun.

  The foot of an artiodactyl animal stepped on the grass.

  The camera moved up, and a tauren holding a wooden staff appeared.

  He/she let out a low growl.

  The screen dims again.

   shows a few words: "A world full of mystery."

  When the screen was turned on again, the atmosphere of the whole scene changed.

  In the distance is a gloomy low sky, and a broken stone mill stands on the hill.

  All the plants on this barren land have withered.

  What a weird and eerie atmosphere, it makes people feel creepy after watching it.

  In the very center of the screen, a warrior in the shape of a skeleton appeared.

  A few more appeared immediately.

  The skeleton soldiers walked towards the camera.

  Then wave the sharp blade in his hand.

  The screen dims again.

  The magnetic male voice continued to sound: "A world full of dangers."

  Next scene: A warrior in armor in the jungle drew a double axe from his back and slashed forward.

  Orcs, undead...

  A variety of strange characters flashed across the screen.

  As the music reaches its peak, a big logo appears on the screen:

"World of Warcraft"

  "TheWorldofWarcraft"

  The red dragon flapped its wings, and the endless flames spewed out of the earth.

   also made the whole scene burn.

  ……

   "Gosh, what game is this?"

   "I...I don't know, doesn't it have words on it? World of Warcraft."

   "No, I asked what kind of game it is and how to play it."

   "Me, how can I know?"

   "The promotion of this game is too strong, right? I feel goose bumps all over my body."

  "Does it look a bit like the Diablo online released by Blizzard this morning? Could it be another MMORPG?"

   "Isn't it? Where did Bomi come from to do so many Warcraft games at the same time? Isn't it just a derivative version of Warcraft?"

   "I don't think it is like it. This game looks more like a role-playing type."

  ……

  Cao Yang smiled slightly.

It is normal for these people not to know, because now Western countries still dominate stand-alone games. Except for Blizzard’s new Diablo online that opened a new door for them this morning, they would never have thought that Bomi would be released soon. What kind of waves will this "World of Warcraft" make.

  Only the first paragraph of the promo was played, and there will be a few minutes of promo display:

  Before everyone had time to discuss, the pictures on the screen switched again.

  This time, what is shown on the screen is the actual scene in the game, which is completely different from the promotional animation just now.

  In the center of the screen, a dark special effect gate full of vortex and mysterious power appeared.

   "Through the Dark Portal."

   "Enter the magnificent "World of Warcraft"!"

  The camera advances towards it.

   came to a stalwart castle.

  "Start an epic adventure in Azeroth, a land full of mystery and crisis."

  The next long section shows the topography and human landscape of Azeroth:

  "From the pristine and deserted Kalimdor to the war-torn Eastern Kingdoms, there are countless beautiful views of Azeroth, you can explore."

   "The rough shape of Loch Modan's megalithic dam and Thunder Bluff will shock you. There are countless magnificent sights in World of Warcraft, and every corner of it will make you a heartfelt admiration."

  "Traveling in such a vast world, you can rely on more than yourself."

  Using the movement of the lens in the screen, the whole Azeroth continent is displayed in the audience's field of vision one by one.

  Grassland, sky, desert, lake, seabed, shipwreck...

  Let everyone here can clearly feel how huge and magnificent the world this new game is about to show, just like a real world.

  "In the world of Azeroth, there are star-studded lakes, criss-crossing rivers, and vast seas. The evil Naga guards ancient treasures in the sea.

  The ancient ship lies quietly underground.

  Every inch of land is quietly waiting for you to explore. "

  "Explore the world, travel the world, and conquer the world. To achieve these great goals, you must meet one challenge after another."

  At this point, the humanistic style has been shown almost, so the game switches a perspective and advances the lens to the character itself.

"Whether you are a warrior holding a sword and shield, a mage who can freely use fire and ice, or a thief who is always hidden in the shadows, you can use your unique skills to overcome the seemingly insurmountable ones. Difficulty."

  The skills of warriors and wizards are shown in the game, and then a thief walks behind everyone in a state of invisibility.

  “Sometimes, you have to work together and fight side by side with your partners. In World of Warcraft, individual strength is negligible. Only by uniting can you kill the powerful ancient dragon and become a hero that is admired by all!”

  After the career display, the scene of the process of playing the BOSS together with multiple careers appeared on the screen.

  This part is also the live recording of the game, without any CG production component, so it is very real.

  Compared with the Diablo online during Blizzard’s speech in the morning, the "World of Warcraft" presented by Bomi is much better in terms of quality and real machine performance.

   "Of course, your enemy is not just a monster waiting in the depths of the maze, members of the opposing faction will also fight you.

  In order to win the right to survive for your camp in the world of Azeroth, whether it is for the glory of the alliance or the pride of the tribe.

  You must take up weapons and fight against all enemies that threaten you! "

  ……

  "Besides adventures and battles, you can also experience a lot of interesting content, such as gathering with friends to sing and dance, and there are countless interesting details waiting for you to discover for yourself."

   "Listen to the distance, the drums of war have sounded.

  Let us set foot on the mysterious continent of World of Warcraft, to create history and change the future together! "

  "Warriors! See you in Azeroth on June 1st!"

  ……
