Chapter 397 He Shouldn't Bear a Grudge, Right?

The worst guess came true.

I had guessed that Naughty Cat was holding back, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

West quickly clicked on the ad and switched to the international server official website.

You can see that this official website has just been launched not long ago.

There are two distinct colors on the homepage.

Red represents the tribe, and blue represents the alliance.

Although it is a newly launched official website, the content is very rich and detailed.

It includes nine major professions, thieves, mages, druids, warriors, hunters, shamans, knights, priests, and warlocks.

Introduction and style of each profession.

Click on the skills of the mage.

There are two major sections: skill introduction page and talent simulator.

It's just that it says "Not implemented yet".

Look at the race list again.

There are eight major races in the two camps.

The Alliance races are humans, dwarves, gnomes, and night elves.

The tribe races are orcs, tauren, undead, and trolls.

These are all races that have appeared in Warcraft and Hearthstone, and they are all related to the main storyline.

Each profession has unique talents and skills, but this is also not disclosed.

Click one by one.

The more West read, the more frightened he became, and the sense of crisis became stronger and stronger.

In terms of gameplay, no one has ever questioned the value of Naughty Cat, which is a consensus in the industry.

The same is true for World of Warcraft.

But from the detailed settings, it can be seen that Naughty Cat is very concerned about this game.

In many setting pictures and information in the database, you can see the shadows of many mythological systems that exist in reality.

Including but not limited to Norse mythology, Indian mythology, Chinese mythology, Mesopotamian mythology, Celtic mythology, Greek mythology, Aztec mythology, etc.

Many of the races and professions that are not inherited from DND elements are based on the civilizations represented by these mythological systems.

The most eye-catching is the Pandaren, a mysterious, peace-loving neutral race hidden in the mist of Pandaria, which was mentioned in the background story.

You can tell where the source material comes from at a glance, no need to say more.

"What do you think of the advantages of your "Cosmic Rift" in terms of settings compared to "World of Warcraft"?" West said with a very complicated mind.

Today, Moreno seemed to have been hit, and his response was particularly slow.

"The settings of each professional race in World of Warcraft are very detailed, and even the source of power and the origin of the race are designed. Although in order to avoid spoilers of the following content, many of them have been left blank, and the full picture cannot be seen. But "Cosmic Rift" is not as good." Moreno's voice was hoarse and bitter.

Even without saying it, West himself could see it.

Asking this question is just to get a good answer and have a psychological comfort.

Clicked into the dungeon information and took a look.

Not much was disclosed, only three dungeons: Ragefire Chasm, Shadowfang Keep, and Howling Caverns.

After clicking in, the BOSS introduction was naturally missing.

Only the background story was briefly introduced.

But looking at the screenshots of various styles in the dungeon, even the naked eye can't help but be shocked.

In the underground cave, the cracked earth and the hot magma are constantly bubbling. The high temperature makes the air seem to be distorted, and the light emitted illuminates the entire canyon.

The hideous orcs followed the wild boar as tall as a person, patrolling with weapons in hand. In the corner are prisoners who are imprisoned and tortured in cages.

In the last picture, the magma is looming, and it seems that some monster is about to rush out and burn everything with high temperature.

If this is CG, West will only be dismissive.

Who can't render a few CGs?

But these pictures seem to be afraid that players don't know, and they clearly write it on them.

Screenshots of the game cabin!

West was so angry that his teeth itched.

I know you have this thing, okay! !

Do you have to write it out to disgust people?

At the end, it is the most obvious video on the webpage, and the one that players are most looking forward to clicking on.

That is the promotional CG of the game.

After clicking in, the first thing you see is a map.

This is a map that Warcraft players see repeatedly when they are playing through the story campaign.

The most prominent ones are Kalimdor on the left side of the map and the Eastern Kingdoms on the right side.

In addition to the Great Vortex in the center of the map, there are six other continents.

The largest one is located in the north of the map, and the second largest one is located in the south of the Great Vortex.

The remaining four continents are all located near the Great Vortex.

Except for the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, the outlines of other continents are relatively simple and are not marked with names.

But West has a guess.

The northernmost one should be Northrend, which fits the description of this continent in Warcraft.

Maybe there is also a map of the Broken Isles?

As the map appeared, the female voice of the narrator appeared.

"Four years have passed since the Horde and the Alliance fought side by side to resist the invasion of the Burning Legion. Although the continent of Azeroth was successfully retained, the fragile agreement between the Horde and the Alliance has long since disappeared. Now, the thunderous drums of war sound again."

The BGM sounded and the screen switched.

Like a church choir singing, an epic chant sounded.

On a snowy mountain, a dwarf hunter wearing animal fur, holding a gun, and leading a giant bear to Ironforge at the foot of the mountain.

Every movement and expression, every character detail, every hair of the giant bear, every snowflake falling from the sky, can be seen clearly.

The camera zooms out.

Thousands of miles of ice and snow.

A magnificent winter snow scene.

"Damn it, isn't it just CG? I, Baofeng Entertainment, also have high-quality CG!" Moreno's jealous voice came from the phone.

The scene changes.

In the mysterious and silent deep forest.

A blue-haired, long-eared night elf druid wearing sexy and hot armor seems to have discovered an intruder.

She walked briskly in the forest, and no matter the rocks, rivers, or branches, she could not stop her steps.

Then after a jump, her body suddenly changed dramatically.

On all fours, she grew hair and instantly turned into a black panther in the jungle.

The scene changes again.

A "dead man" with a withered body and exposed bones, the undead warlock appeared in the wild.

Green flames burned on the ground, the sky was overcast, and flaming meteorites fell one after another.

Then a hellfire slowly stood up from the deep pit behind it, and the high temperature ignited the windmills and fields of the Eastern Kingdom.

Thunder Bluff at dusk has beautiful scenery.

A tauren sprinkled a handful of dust, which was blown away by the wind and returned to Mother Earth.

Outside the burning Orgrimmar, an orc warrior waved his weapon violently, with high fighting spirit.

The music became more and more intense.

On the top of the dilapidated building.

A human mage with a basin-sized fireball unceremoniously greeted the hellfire below.

On the peak of Ironforge.

Gunshots rang out, and the dwarf hunter fired without hesitation. The giant bear roared and rushed forward, but was knocked down by the tauren warrior holding a huge totem.

The screen cut faster and faster.

The undead warlock fell from the sky with hellfire all over the sky.

The human mage's terrifying ice magic froze everything around.

The tauren warrior's totem slammed down.

Finally, the World of Warcraft LOGO appeared.

"Heh, you are quite good at stirring up emotions." Moreno said sourly, "But we can do it too."

As soon as the voice fell.

I saw the last sentence of CG added.

[This video is recorded for the game cabin version and is not CG]

"Not, not CG?"

Seeing this line of words, the two were stunned at the same time.

They thought of a sentence at the same time.

Naughty Cat never engages in false propaganda.

Logically, it is impossible to believe that this is true.

But I have to believe it.

Moreno couldn't say a word.

At this time, he had a vague feeling in his heart.

This century acquisition case, even if the giant hard company took action,

may not be completed.

This opponent is a little too powerful.

It's too unconventional.

"So, you still don't want the new expansion pack of Cosmic Rift to be launched in advance? Don't you really plan to avoid the limelight of World of Warcraft?"

You can hear that the voice on the other end of the phone has a little more dejection.

"Avoid this must be avoided."

Even though many players have already become accustomed to the sudden attack of Naughty Cat's revelations.

But this news still shocked many people.

[Ah? ? ? The game cabin in online game novels? Zundu fake du]

[World of Warcraft!! Damn, World of Warcraft fans are in tears]

[Game cabin and MMORPG, no way, the novel has really entered reality? ]

[Why do I feel so magical, the future has arrived? ]

As soon as the news came out, there were naturally many doubts.

No one believed such a fantasy.

As a result, that night, a message from Naughty Cat was sent out, shutting up the trolls.

Free experience stores will be set up in major countries and regions around the world. Players only need to make an appointment to queue up, and then they can experience the magic of the game cabin for free.

The second message followed.

About the gear, pricing and release time of the game cabin.

The home version is priced at 12,999 yuan, the regular version is priced at 39,999, and the deluxe version is priced at 179,999.

Due to differences between people, the degree of simulation of the game cabin is different for each player.

The average data of the home version is about 75%, and it only has the most basic functions. The model size is fixed and the user needs to choose according to his height and weight.

The ordinary version adds adjustment functions and many more customization functions.

If you don't like the feeling of pain, you can turn it off completely. If you are a masochist, you can increase the intensity in the settings.

There are also bloody effects, touch intensity, etc.

If the degree of realism is pulled to the highest, it is about 85%.

The last deluxe version.

In addition to the above functions, the degree of realism has reached 95%, and it also has the highest customization function and the best comfort.

Using the game cabin game can completely replace sleep without feeling tired. At the same time, there is a life support system in the game cabin. After adding some equipment, it can be used as a medical cabin.

If someone takes care of it, it is a small ICU.

At the same time, the deluxe version has the highest operating accuracy, which is almost the same as some exquisite operations made in reality.

You can add a training cabin for customized software programming training, or enter the hospital as a medical cabin for hospice care, or use it as a scientific research and education cabin, or promote products in commercial activities.

Of course, if only rich people use it as a toy, it can also be considered a high-end massage chair.

As for the release date.

Pre-orders can be opened from now on, and shipments will begin on December 15th.

Priority will be given to domestic defense, scientific research, education, and medical-related orders in China.

The third piece of news is about the games supported by the game cabin.

The game cabin is destined to be an expensive luxury product in the current era, and it is impossible for small and medium-sized game manufacturers to afford the high development costs.

As for major manufacturers, they can ignore the rise of Switch and continue the PC + dual-end console operating model.

But for a cross-generational product like the game cabin, it will be difficult to catch up if one step lags behind others.

I'm not worried that they won't develop games.

If you don’t do it, Palu will do it.

Of course, you can't just rely on third parties. After all, the non-customized version of the game cabin is just an entertainment-focused device.

The main products still rely on Naughty Cat’s first party.

This requires a work that players can play for a long time, can operate sustainably, and can take advantage of the immersive feeling of the game cabin to ensure that players have enough games to choose from before third-party works mature.

This is one of the reasons why World of Warcraft was made.

In addition to new games, some classic games will be transplanted to the game cabin, such as Titanfall, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, PVE games that everyone can accept, and Overwatch, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, two PVP games.

The game is priced more expensive than the console and PC versions, ranging from 900 to 1,100 per copy.

In addition, it was also announced that the horror game "Escape" will be given free of charge in the game cabin.

The game needs to be picked up on the built-in origin platform. Before starting the game, the game cabin needs to do a simple physical examination to ensure that it can be started normally.

A new event was also announced.

"Escape" Challenge!

The first 10,000 players in the world who clear the game will receive a game cabin transplant of their choice for free.

Several messages were sent out one after another, but no one continued to question the authenticity.

Anyway, in the near future, experience stores in various countries will be decorated.

Wouldn’t it be nice to try it then?

Facts speak louder than words.

As Naughty Cat's old rivals, Juhard and Baofeng Entertainment were also the first companies to attack Naughty Cat.

I finally gave up in the face of such a battle.

The "Cosmic Rift" expansion pack, which was originally planned to be released at the end of the year, was released ahead of schedule as expected.

Officially scheduled for September 23rd.

The entire month of September also became the most aggressive announcement ever for "Cosmic Rift".

Bragging about how good you are at the game while secretly belittling the game console doesn't have that effect at all.

The day before service starts

"The expansion pack has pre-sold 3.2 million copies, which ranks third in history." Cosmic Rift Director Benoit looked at the data and nodded, "As long as the follow-up does not stretch the hips to the extreme, there should be no problem in completing the gambling agreement. "

It was already past the time to get off work.

Moreno did not go home, but sat in the office and watched the computer with a worried look.

Every once in a while, refresh the Naughty Cat-related Twitter homepage.

"That's true, but will Lin Mo just let me go?" Moreno let out a sad sigh, "That person's character is always one of revenge."

Benoit frowned and said: "Now that Naughty Cat is no longer in the same world as us, will he insist on biting it? Boss, you'd better go to bed early. The game will be launched in six hours."

Moreno nodded and let out a sigh of relief.

It seems that Lin Mo, who has always held grudges, plans to let Baofeng Entertainment go this time.

Also, as soon as the game cabin comes out, even the headquarters of Juhard Company need to seriously consider its consequences and whether it will have any impact on its own industry.

Finally, I refreshed the page and prepared to go to bed early today.

As a result, just by refreshing this casually, something big happened.

A message appeared on Naughty Cat’s official Twitter account.

In six hours, a live broadcast will start in the Naughty Cat official live broadcast room.

It will provide a detailed introduction to the gameplay background of the new game "World of Warcraft" and a live demonstration of the game cabin.

Seeing this message, Moreno felt a chill go straight from his heels to Tianling Gai.

He still doesn't intend to let go of the person who added insult to injury (End of Chapter)
