Chapter 70: Damn, I was totally blown away by the CG promotional material!
What? A promotional video for a new game?
As soon as the tourist's voice came out, many people gathered in that direction.
Among them were the wealthy young master Zhu Ji who came to visit, as well as streamers like Chen Dazhuang.
They all gathered around.
"Huh? The insomnia game is here!"
Zhu Ji said excitedly because he saw a familiar face, Mr. Su, who had previously received him, acting as a mascot at the front desk.
Chen Dazhuang, who was not far behind, also circled around.
"uh-huh?"
"Brothers, family, I've arrived just in time! The promotional video for the new Insomnia Game is here!"
Oh? What kind of surprise will insomnia bring us this time?
I don't know, I haven't seen it.
What's going on? I'm actually starting to look forward to it now!
[Dazhuang, hold your phone up high! We all want to see it!]
Instantly, tens of thousands of fans flooded into the live stream room, all clamoring to see what kind of antics Insomnia Games would pull at this exhibition.
At the booth, many visitors became curious.
They piled up next to Su Jianxue and began to ask questions.
"Hey, what kind of game is your company's new game this time?"
"It looks really intense, is it an FPS shooting game?"
"Hello Mr. Su, I'm a reporter from Shanghai Game Monthly. I'd like to ask about the game you're designing this time. It's rumored online to be an FPS game, is that true?"
"President Su? Holy crap, the President Su from the Insomnia Game is actually a stunning beauty!"
"President Su, I'm a huge fan! Your novels are so good!"
No, who am I? Where am I? Shen Huaizhou!! Get back here right now!!
Su Jianxue, who is in charge of managing the finances and never interferes with the game's production process, is facing so many inquiries from players.
How could she possibly withstand it?
Especially since someone even put the title of that book, "The Game of Letting Go," on my head!
"Ahem, everyone, please calm down."
"Just wait for the promotional video to play."
The moment Su Jianxue was overwhelmed, Shen Huaizhou stepped out from behind the booth.
"You're right, my friend who works as a reporter for a gaming magazine."
"This game is aimed at the FPS genre, but it's not a simple FPS game; it's a fast-paced, action-packed game similar to Dynasty Warriors!"
"Peerless?"
It's yet another completely new term, a name they've never heard of before!
"Yes, it's a Musou-style, exhilarating game, unlike the previous ones where teammates would sabotage each other."
"and--"
Before Shen Huaizhou could finish his introduction, the promotional video behind him clicked and started!
The game screens on both sides of the booth fell silent.
The next second, an unfamiliar scene appeared before my eyes!
That's the back of a person's head!
However, unlike the opening of any game, there was a valve on the back of this head.
It gives people a particularly eerie feeling.
After this eerie scene unfolds briefly, the promotional video then officially begins—
"Clang!!"
As soon as they entered the arena, a knocking sound was heard, followed by the sight of a hand emerging from the shattered glass.
As the camera pans across the room, natural sunlight streams in.
It's a bit too bright.
Then I saw a fat black man holding a baseball bat, followed by a man in a white suit.
He walked in from outside!
COACH: Reporting on the latest developments.
Set up roadblocks around your home to avoid contact with any infected person.
Awaiting official instructions.
Ha! What the hell are you waiting for!
Eills: Kill all these sons of bitches, that's my official order.
As the main perspective shifts, the images of the four main characters gradually unfold perfectly before all players' eyes.
The young man wearing this hat had a medical kit and two guns slung over his back.
The rest of the people are observing the map!
And just as all the players were beginning to accept this promotional campaign, Eills kicked the door open!
What is presented to all players is a world in complete chaos!
A series of dynamic images are layered together.
It flashed by, accompanied by the scent of blood, flesh, and gunpowder!
The background setting and gameplay of Left 4 Dead were completely revealed to all players in that instant!
Infected! The zombies in front of them were rushing towards the four protagonists at high speed!
The next second, a dark gun barrel came into view—
The scene became even more chaotic!
Rapid breathing sounds, infected people all over the map.
A cacophony of blood and gunpowder, turmoil, surprise, and revelry!
In the end, countless infected people rushed directly towards the four main characters!
With the four main characters working together to shake off all the infected, they arrived at the designated evacuation point!
Instead, they were met with the rescue team's helicopters taking off.
Very clear! Very obvious!
Players will take on four roles in this game, including the black coach who smashes the glass with his elbow in the opening scene.
A black woman is looking at a map, and then there's a guy in a baseball cap who's looting, carrying a shotgun and a first-aid kit on his back.
And finally, the white man in a suit leaning against the wall, wiping his Desert Eagle.
These are all the main characters in this game.
As the PV ended, all those special types of infected were revealed to the players.
Especially at the very end, the world below the helicopter was filled with hordes of zombies.
It truly stunned the entire audience!
Holy crap! A zombie tidal wave! In short, a zombie horde!
"Holy crap! This... this bastard can't even evacuate now? Aren't these four main characters going to be killed instantly?"
"Damn, opening the door to find myself surrounded by zombies, that's fucking awesome!"
"It's just a promotional video, is it really possible to actually make one like that?"
"Yeah, Insomnia Studio doesn't have any experience making FPS games, so I think most of them will be chibi-style characters, right?"
"Dude, haven't you played any games by Insomnia Studio? Their trailers never lie."
"This is supposed to be an FPS game? This looks like a zombie horror game!"
"Oh wow! If I remember correctly, Gangzi's booth just now also featured a post-apocalyptic survival game, right? These two companies are going to be competing head-to-head!"
"Huh? A zombie game? They even make something as niche as this? Does anyone actually play it?"
"Don't underestimate zombie games just because they're a niche genre; they have a huge player base."
"Holy crap, I want one of these four characters. When that zombie pounces on you and licks you, I'll piss myself right there!"
"The black girl looks pretty good too, great figure, tsk tsk."
"I actually think that slit-mouthed woman-like zombie has a better figure. Why don't you try it?"
"It sounds like it'd be really fun, when can we play it?"
