Chapter 187 The Starting Point of Evolution

Chapter 187 The Starting Point of Evolution

"Global Evolution" is an open world game. Since it is an open world, players have a high degree of freedom.

Guo Mo has already felt it.

strength!

These two words are everything the game wants to express. As long as they have enough strength, players can do almost anything they want in the game.

Safe place?

The purpose of setting up a safe zone is to protect the weak. If you are strong enough and can ignore the guards of this base city and the strong human beings, the safe zone will almost not exist.

Strong strength will make people lose themselves, which is what the old saying goes: "becoming obsessed"!

The protagonist Chen Yun is actually a being walking on the edge of light and darkness.

Players can make him a saint or a demon, the Optimus Prime of the human race, or the scum of the human race.

The main plot is definitely moving in the direction of the human guardians, but the staff told Guo Mo that there is more than one ending to the game.

The general direction of the plot is indeed developing in the direction of "becoming the patron saint of the human race", but in this process, players' different route choices will also lead to deviations in the results.

in other words……

There is no doubt that the protagonist will become the strongest person in the human race. No matter which path he takes, the identity of the protagonist will be determined. He will definitely reach the top.

Then here comes the problem!

The strongest man in the human race, with a relatively high moral level, can become the patron saint of the human race. If he has a low moral level, can't he become the patron saint of the human race?

The answer is yes!

In the world view where strength comes first and the weak eat the strong, as long as the players are strong enough, the endings may be different, but they will ultimately lead to the same goal.

"I can't do this kind of thing..."

Although the barrage kept urging Guo Mo to do whatever it took to become stronger, Guo Mo had his own persistence and ideas.

He feels that even when playing games, you must have your own bottom line and not do anything that makes you feel disgusted.

Just play it honestly.

Although honest people cannot improve their strength as fast as those unscrupulous people, at least they have a clear conscience with their strength.

When he becomes the patron saint of the human race in the future, he won’t feel like his butt is being burned by sitting in that position.

"Ha ha!"

Guo Mo's seriousness in playing the game was also noticed by Chen Ba, who was secretly watching his live broadcast. He asked Xiao Lu on the side: "How do you evaluate it?"

"No comment!"

Xiao Lu said speechlessly: "He reminded me of those players who took on robbery missions in GTA5 and waited honestly for the traffic lights on the road."

You say he abides by the law, he took over the robbery mission...

You could say he was unruly, he would wait for traffic lights on the way to do his tasks!

This kind of person is somewhat serious about playing games, and feels like he is not in the same channel as everyone else.

In the game "Global Evolution", there is actually no need to maintain a very high moral level throughout the game like Guo Mo. This is also hinted at in the plot.

History is written by the victors!

As long as the protagonist Chen Yun finally aspires to the top and becomes the strongest, then everything he does is right. Even if he does a lot of bad things during his rise, no one dares to mention it.

In this way, Guo Mo looks more cute and different.

"Let's not talk about this first..."

After exiting Guo Mo's live broadcast room, Chen Ba said with a solemn expression: "Did any game bugs appear in today's trial activity?"

"have!"

"When a vehicle in the game hits another vehicle, it will cause one of the vehicles to rise into the sky like a rocket..."

Xiao Lu introduced his findings.

This vehicle bug is actually quite interesting. When he was testing it just now, he also tried it and found that it was really a bug.

After the impact, the vehicle was actually able to fly up into the clouds. The height in the game was at least tens of thousands of meters, which was really outrageous.

"This is not a big problem, just practice it."

Chen Ba waved his hand: "I mean, are there any bugs that are very inconspicuous, but may affect the game environment?"

"I haven't discovered this yet."

"That's it..."

Chen Ba thought for a moment, and since more than 200 people couldn't find it in the test, Tianba Studio probably couldn't find it in private testing either.

That being the case, there's nothing more to say.

Thinking of the development progress of the game, Chen Ba said thoughtfully: "I seem too anxious about the National Day, so let's release it in November!"

It's the end of July.

There are still four full months and one quarter left until November. For "Global Evolution" with this degree of completion, it should not be difficult to polish it to perfection.

The Tianba engine saves a lot of time, and the code optimization and reconstruction of the Tiehanhan system makes the entire development process extremely fast.

and……

In terms of actual cost, "Global Evolution" is actually a "shame for AAA".

The reason is simple. The development cost of "Global Evolution" is not as high as other 3A games, and it is expected to cost only 10 to 20 million US dollars.

If this cost and cycle were revealed, others would probably not believe that this is a 3A game...

Therefore.

Chen Ba exaggerated the cost of "Global Evolution". Whether he was interviewed by the media or asked by players, he always said that he invested nearly 100 million US dollars in this game.

Whether others believe it or not, a slight exaggeration of costs is definitely necessary. Otherwise, if the cost is just this small and the price is comparable to those standard 3A games, players will definitely feel uncomfortable.

…

The trial event was a success.

After returning home, various media and game anchors also boasted about the game "Global Evolution".

For a time, the already exaggerated enthusiasm seemed to break the circle.

As more and more videos leak out on the Internet, players no longer know anything about this game.

At least everyone knows the general game plot of "Global Evolution", as well as the gameplay and some game mechanics.

OK OK!

Everyone's curiosity has been aroused and the money is ready, so when will this game be released?

Tianba Studio did not create any smoke bombs, and directly released the reservation link for "Global Evolution" on the official website and Tianba community.

Click the link to make an appointment.

After pre-ordering the game, not only will you receive a text message notification on the day of release, but you will even enjoy an exclusive discount for pre-ordering.

The standard version of the game is priced at 278 yuan and is expected to be released on all platforms during Double Eleven on November 11.

This is the price announced by Chen Ba. In addition to the standard version, there are two other versions whose prices have not been announced yet, but he assures everyone that the price of the other two versions will not be higher than 400 yuan.

This is an exclusive price for the country.

The foreign service is relatively standard. Do you want to buy it for 60 US dollars? Is it too expensive? If you find it too expensive, go to the low-price area! Why are games more expensive in developed countries?

After the game's pre-sale price and release date were announced, Chen Ba quietly immersed himself in the game for three months before re-emerging in November.

"Will the ticket bounce?"

Pan Yang, who was squatting in front of the computer screen, was very curious about this.

A game he had added to his wish list before was scheduled to be released in June during the summer, but it was delayed twice. The first time it was postponed, it said it would be released in winter, and the second time it said it would be released next year.

As a result, I had to wait until the summer of the next year to play the game. The developer even said humorously: Isn't it summer now?

Gan!

Pan Yang, who has suffered losses, now always has a sense of distrust about the release dates of these games.

The same goes for Global Evolution.

Although Brother Ba has always had a good reputation and there has been no precedent for ticket bouncers, this time, Pan Yang lacked confidence in him.

The main thing is that "Global Evolution" is different. This is a 3A game.

From the time Tianba Studio officially announced the project to now, it has taken less than a year, and it took just one year to produce a AAA game?

He was full of doubts about this.

Precisely because the time was too short, he felt that there was a high probability that the ticket would be delayed this time and it would be impossible to sell it as scheduled. After all, the time is really too short, and Brother Ba’s estimated date is too optimistic.

But it's acceptable.

Pan Yang can actually accept a small delay as long as the ticket is not delayed multiple times in a row. After all, Brother Ba is his favorite game developer, so there is no harm in double standards.

But it turns out...

Pan Yang was wrong!

Brother Ba not only released the game "Global Evolution" on schedule without any delays, he even posted on the Tianba community saying that he took some time off from his busy schedule to make a DLC.

Listen, is this human speech?

Others can only create a new folder in a year, but Brother Ba not only completed a 3A game, but also took the time to create a DLC.

"Brother Ba, my superman!"

After replying to Brother Ba’s post, Pan Yang quickly clicked on the Nobug link to purchase the game.

Why not go to the steam platform?

Very simple! The steam platform is the original price without any discounts or discounts, but the Nobug platform can save you 50 yuan by purchasing "Global Evolution".

50 yuan is already a lot.

Although he knew it, this was a trap specially designed by Brother Ba in order to consolidate the number of users of the Nobug platform and expand the influence of the platform.

But 50 yuan cheaper is really too tempting. Although everyone has no interest in the Nobug platform, they can't resist Ba Ge's "low price" temptation.

"Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition and Ultimate Edition?"

Pan Yang's mouth twitched when he saw the Ultimate Edition at the end. He had no doubt that Brother Ba must have learned this from Goose Factory.

If you don’t learn from the good ones, you will only learn from the bad ones, right?

After taking a look at the differences between the three versions and finding that they were mainly changes in DLC and game maps, Pan Yang bought the Ultimate Edition for 378 yuan.

Users who make a reservation will enjoy a 50% discount, and the Nobug platform coupon will save another 50 yuan, so you can buy it for only 310 yuan!

At this price, you can’t even buy the deluxe version on the steam platform, and Pan Yang feels like he’s making a huge profit.

The game installation package is slightly larger at 79.36G. Not to mention how long it takes to download, some players with smaller hard drives may have to add a solid state specifically for this game.

Waited for half an hour.

Pan Yang finally downloaded the game and changed the title of the live broadcast room. The main focus is to gain popularity early and not to eat other people's leftovers.

"OK! Entering the game, it's the face-pinching part that everyone loves again!"

"Because we want to gain popularity and can't waste time, we skip this face-making process and enter the game..."

Pan Yang’s live broadcast is quite popular.

Over the years, although everyone has been teasing that "Star Emperor" is going to die, this is just a joke.

Not only did the game not become popular, but it took advantage of the popularity of the GAL League to live out its second life. The number of people online and popularity were firmly at the top of various lists.

As the number one live broadcaster of the game, Pan Yang has made a lot of money over the years. He bought a garage and saved tens of millions of dollars.

Why can you make so much money?

Of course, it's because Brother Fu in "Star Emperor" has many players, and his live broadcast is the most popular.

"Brothers, this game is not an online game, so we won't skip the plot!"

Because of the different nature of "Global Evolution", Pan Yang also specifically told the audience in the live broadcast room that the plot should not be skipped and should be watched.

The audience in the live broadcast room happily accepted it.

After all, this is a stand-alone game. If it is an online game, you can watch the plot or not. But stand-alone games focus on a sense of immersion and substitution, so it is best not to skip the plot.

If you like to skip the plot, why would you spend hundreds of dollars on this game?

"2045 AD..."

The narration of the narration, combined with a CG animation, allowed Pan Yang and the audience in the live broadcast room to understand the origin and background of the story.

"So many people died?"

When he heard the narration saying that the global population had dropped by three-quarters, leaving only 2 billion people, Pan Yang couldn't help but feel a little scared.

However, when he heard that China was one of the few forces that could still exist as a country, he felt proud of his motherland.

With the population shrinking so much, many tragedies must have occurred, and the protagonist Chen Yun witnessed the death of his parents.

If he hadn't been saved by a strong man passing by, he would have died in the wilderness.

"Become stronger!"

Watching his parents die before his eyes, the feeling of weakness deeply hurt Chen Yun. He wanted to become stronger, protect his sister, and avenge his parents.

The game officially begins...

After watching the CG animation, Pan Yang looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect the protagonist's life experience to be so miserable.

To make matters worse, he now faces a major problem.

The main task is to find food.

My sister was hungry and there was nothing to eat at home, so Chen Yun had to go out and take risks. But leaving the safe zone, the outside world is too dangerous.

Where can I find food?

Pan Yang wanted to pick some wild fruits at first, but found that all the horse plants had become spirits! Still want to eat wild fruits? You can still eat wild fruits!

Can't beat it, can't beat it at all...

A small grass on the roadside can bully him and drive the protagonist around. This feeling of being bullied by others really makes Pan Yang feel helpless.

Brother, do you want to be so weak?

If you can't even defeat a small grass monster, isn't this food useless? broken! Is my sister about to starve to death as soon as the game starts?

While Pan Yang was wandering around, trying to find some soft persimmons to squeeze, he suddenly saw a fight between two ferocious beasts.

"Oh? Here's your chance!"

Pan Yang had heard of the allusion of the snipe and the clam fighting over the fisherman's profit. Looking at the two ferocious beasts biting together, he immediately realized that he could pick something up.

It turned out that he was right.

The killing of the same kind among ferocious beasts is indeed the fastest way to solve the problem of food and clothing and increase the strength when the strength is insufficient in the early stage.

Great!

Sister, open the door, look what brother has brought you back, your favorite python meat, eating it will turn you white...
