Chapter 186 Where is my mission reward?
The effect of the real-machine demonstration was indeed much better than the promotional CG animation, and the popularity and attention of the game immediately increased.
For a time, the entire Internet was paying attention to the game "Global Evolution", and the number of discussion topics quickly soared.
"Can a video have such a good publicity effect?"
Xiao Lu was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect the publicity effect to be so explosive.
You know, they just posted a live demonstration video and did nothing else, let alone spent huge sums of money to buy traffic and advertising for promotion.
But the final publicity effect feels even more outrageous than spending 10 million to buy traffic and ads!
"AAA games come with their own traffic..."
Chen Ba explained: "The entire gaming industry is paying attention to games of this level, and players are no exception."
"Even if we don't actively promote it, there will be countless spotlights on us, always paying attention to our latest progress. This is the biggest difference between 3A games and ordinary games."
Do AAA games need to actively promote popularity?
What a joke!
GTA6 has not yet come out, and all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. Various self-media editors are crazy about it, and all kinds of confident revelations and insider information are dazzling.
Is this all traffic purchased by Rockstar?
Impossible, players must want to see these contents and are more concerned about the news of GTA6. So this is an act of gaining attention and clicks, and self-media editors and game media spontaneously hype it up.
The same goes for Global Evolution.
The popularity had just risen, and when Chen Ba was browsing short videos, he actually saw a blogger who was raking in traffic and was brazenly breaking the news.
【Exclusive inside information! "Global Evolution" is priced at 500 yuan, and Brother Ba is aiming for TGA's best game of the year! 】
OK OK!
Are you the roundworm in Brother Ba’s belly? Brother Ba doesn’t even know the price, but you already know? Brother Ba didn't even dare to open the champagne, so you opened it for him first?
[Independent game producers chat about "Global Evolution", which is expected to create a new chapter in domestic games. Brother Ba is my idol...]
Yo! This title?
When Chen Ba saw it for the first time, he felt a little flattered. He didn't expect that his status was so high in the eyes of people in the industry.
But when he clicked on the blogger's homepage and discovered that the only masterpiece of this so-called independent game producer was "college graduate" level, he fell silent.
[External networks broke the news that "Global Evolution" may have secret contact with NVIDIA. Insiders said that the optimization is worrying, and non-high-end flagship graphics cards may have difficulty playing smoothly...]
This blogger is quite capable, and despite being popular, he also knows how to "fabricate" a so-called external revelation to make his source of information appear more reliable.
However, this news is also stupid, and it will make Chen Ba laugh out loud.
When Tianba Studio was developing the game "Global Evolution", it was true that it had contact with graphics card manufacturers such as Nvidia and AMD, but what kind of secret contact was this?
Let’s be fair and honest!
And it was not Chen Ba who took the initiative to contact, but Lao Huang and Su Ma, after learning that "Global Evolution" was a AAA game, they took the initiative to contact Tianba Studio to provide certain help and technical support.
As for the rumors that optimization is poor and that non-high-end flagship graphics cards may not be able to run games, it makes people speechless...
"It's just made out of nothing!"
"Except for the special "Star Emperor" among the games in our studio, there doesn't seem to be any games that require special configurations, right?"
Xiao Lu was very angry.
These people are so incompetent in making rumors that they are popular. They don’t know if they use their brains when writing copy. They really dare to say anything.
Although "Global Evolution" is a 3A game, the configuration requirements are already very low among many 3A games.
From this perspective, Tianba Studio’s game optimization capabilities are definitely among the best in the world.
You can say that the games made by Tianba Studio are not fun, and the games rely on defense, but you really can’t question game optimization casually. Looking around the world, who else can optimize better than them?
"So, this is why we need to conduct offline trials to directly allow players to have face-to-face contact with the game."
Chen Ba said with a smile: "Global Evolution has attracted too much attention. If we don't take the initiative to disclose some information and let these self-media and netizens speculate randomly, we still don't know what the spread will be like!"
"I understand……"
Xiao Lu nodded and said, "Then you allow the live broadcast because of this consideration?"
"That's right!"
Offline trial activities like this are generally not allowed to be broadcast live to avoid the risk of the plot and game mechanics being leaked in advance before the game is released.
But Chen Ba allowed the live broadcast this time.
On the one hand, it is to satisfy the curiosity of netizens and let them see more content and information about "Global Evolution".
On the other hand, Tianba's progress in making games is really fast, and confidentiality is not so strict. After all, no matter how secretive it is, the finished product will be released in a few months.
not to mention……
The trial only lasted for half an hour. It was the first time to play without any guidance or strategies. How many bosses could players defeat?
With such a short experience time, even less of the plot and mechanics can be revealed.
No need to worry too much!
After saying these words, Chen Ba looked at the venue and machines that had just been arranged.
There are not many trial slots. There are only more than 200 people in total, 50 of whom are anchors and media representatives from major platforms, and the remaining 150 people come from the Tianba community to spontaneously sign up and draw.
There are 50 machines in total, which is enough!
…
The next morning, Jiangning Golden Horse Hotel.
Banquet Hall No. 2 has been booked by Tianba Studio and has been set up as a trial venue, while Banquet Hall No. 1 has prepared a rest area and interview area, as well as various desserts and fruit snacks for everyone.
Guo Mo was one of the first game anchors to arrive at the venue. He was also the first lucky person to line up and receive the trial number plate.
The first person to come has a number card within 50, which means there is no need to wait in line and you can directly activate the game and try it out.
Wow!
After asking the staff again and confirming that the live broadcast could be started, Guo Mo quickly took out his mobile phone, put it on the side with a stand, pointed the lens at the computer screen, and started the outdoor live broadcast.
OBS?
I am so sorry! Although live streaming is allowed for this trial, the computer equipment is provided by Tianba Studio, and they do not allow other software to be installed on the computer, nor are they allowed to perform various operations other than games.
Therefore, today's live broadcast method is relatively retro, and you can only use your mobile phone to hold the screen to take pictures.
Guo Mo looked around and found that other people were similar to him. They all used their mobile phones or cameras to take pictures at the screen. The results were good or bad.
Some camera positions are good and the light reflection is not that serious, so the screen shooting effect is okay and you can clearly see what is displayed on the screen.
Some camera positions are very poor, and the light reflection is extremely serious. If the results are posted on the forum, the forum friends will definitely complain, "Remember to put the door lock back after taking the photo."
"Can you see clearly?"
After confirming that he could see the barrage clearly, Guo Mo quickly sat down and chose the familiar keyboard and mouse among the controller and keyboard and mouse to operate.
Today’s trial is not about starting from scratch.
Playing from scratch, the offline trial is really just a formality. After all, playing this game from scratch, there is really too little content to experience.
Therefore, the staff very considerately prepared a "first-order evolution" archive account for each machine.
Take the No. 29 machine played by Guo Mo as an example. He does not need to start from scratch. Entering the game is the archive after evolving once. If he evolves again, the next player who tries to play Unit 29 will play the second-level evolution archive.
Of course, this is impossible.
The degree of evolution required to evolve once is difficult to obtain. After four rounds of trial play, it is estimated that only the last player can experience the process of evolving from the first level to the second level.
"Let me see it!"
"WASD is to move, the mouse is to rotate the perspective, Shift is to accelerate and run, Ctrl is to crouch..."
After simply adapting to the key layout, Guo Mo, knowing that his time was limited, quickly received the task from an NPC and began a serious gaming experience.
The game's mission releases are fun.
Players have a mobile smart terminal that is worn on their wrist like an electronic watch.
When needed, you can call up the page. There is a forum for Jiangning Base City on it. This forum is full of NPC posts and discussions.
If you see a "Help Post"?
No doubt, this is a side mission! As long as you reply to this post, you can contact the NPC who posted the post, and he will tell you the details of the mission.
Guo Moling's task is quite simple.
An NPC named Xiaojun accidentally lost his mother's photo when he went on an adventure and fell into the territory of a group of monkey beasts. This was his most precious treasure, so he posted a message asking for help, hoping that someone could bring it back for him.
"Monkey-like ferocious beast?"
Guo Mo followed the mission location, ran to take a look, and found that the mission seemed not as easy to handle as he thought.
The mission is just to retrieve the photos, but this is the territory of a group of monkeys, not just one or two monkeys, but a group of monkeys...
If there are only one or two ferocious beasts, just use the unparalleled force to break in, but there are so many ferocious beasts here. Breaking in is almost equal to death, so you must outsmart them.
Just when Guo Mo was wondering whether this mission should be completed by "stealth", he saw a sudden change in the style of painting, and a macho NPC driving a pickup truck and holding a machine gun rushed in.
The macho man is so fierce!
Dozens of monkeys were taken care of in three clicks, five divided by two, and before Guo Mo could recover, a "Mission Failed" message appeared on his task bar.
"Ah? Can I still get the mission?"
Guo Mo's thinking is still stuck in the tradition that as long as the player accepts the task, no matter how long it takes to complete it, the NPC will wait patiently.
I never expected that this thinking was broken in "Global Evolution". The task was delayed and the NPC would actually entrust someone else with it?
"Hahaha!"
"Who asked you to wait so long? Now it's better, the NPC will steal the mission!"
"I'm curious, if it's a time-limited task, shouldn't there be a task deadline reminder? For example, how long does it have to be completed?"
yes!
It is obviously a task to be completed within a time limit, why not mark a limited completion time?
Guo Mo always felt something was strange.
However, he didn't think much about it. He guessed that the beta version was not perfect enough, so there was no countdown added to the limited-time task.
It wasn't until he took on another mission, tried his best to complete it, and was about to receive the reward while holding the mission items that he was suddenly robbed by an NPC who took away the mission items and displayed "Mission Failed" again, that he finally understood.
Damn it!
The NPCs in this game don’t seem to have martial ethics?
Can a cooked duck fly? He had completed this mission, but ended up lying on the way to receive the reward. Could his mission items have been snatched away?
Such an explosive scene immediately silenced Guo Mozheng.
He has never experienced accepting a mission in the game, completing the mission diligently, and having the final reward intercepted by other NPCs.
what is this?
I took the mission, and I fought the beast to death, but the reward has nothing to do with me?
"Damn it! Brothers, I have made a big discovery. In this game, you can cut off beards and take advantage of others!"
Just as Guo Mo was immersed in the melancholy state of not knowing whether he should take on the next mission after the mission reward was robbed, the exclamation of a game anchor next to him caught his attention.
what's the situation?
Guo Mo turned around and saw that the player easily killed an NPC, then searched him and obtained the mission items. The mission that the NPC received was also transferred to him.
"Fuck!"
Guo Mo also exclaimed, never expecting such a magical operation.
Where is the morality? Where is the bottom line?
He originally thought that he would be blown away by being intercepted by an NPC and taking away the mission reward. Unexpectedly, there is an even more explosive scene. Players can reverse NPC opportunities and even tasks.
Do the task?
Do the chicken feather task!
Keep an eye on the forum, always pay attention to the responders of those asking for help, and just look for the opportunity to intercept and exploit them.
What moral bottom line?
Please!
It’s really cool to be able to get mission rewards without killing monsters! In the face of this kind of temptation, no one would really follow the rules and complete the task, right?
"Everyone is here to eat black and white..."
"Damn it! Survive the apocalypse!"
"Dark forest, right? You have to do a mission and have to watch out for sneak attacks by villains?"
"I will do whatever it takes to become stronger, so the question is, after eating the person who did the task, can I still eat the person who posted the task?"
Guo Mo: "..."
When he saw the last barrage, he admitted that his heart skipped a beat.
Shouldn't it?
People can't, at least they shouldn't be so shameless. It's already very abstract to get mission rewards by eating black and white. If you can eat both, isn't it worse than a beast?
It happened that a Tianba employee was patrolling nearby. Guo Mo waved and asked him if it was really possible to do this in the game?
"Can!"
This Tianba employee affirmed: "We will not teach players how to play the game. The moral bottom line is determined by the players themselves."
"However, there is a mysterious organization in the game that is responsible for formulating and maintaining the order of each base city. If the player's moral level is too low, he may be hunted down..."
Everything is the player's choice.
For the sake of strength, he would do whatever it takes, take the evil path and wantonly kill his fellow humans, and finally die at the hands of a strong human race, so he couldn't blame others.
If you really have that ability, you can do all the bad things, and even the strong humans can't do anything about it in the end, that can be regarded as the ending of the game.
