590. Surrender to the real king! (Chapter 2)(1/2)
These are all endless fun brought to players by Shanhai Jing, especially in that era. In 2004, the game industry was still rising, and there were not as many game categories as it is now. The emergence of Shanhai Jing can be said to have brought players a huge surprise, and it also pushed the game to the whole world.
The Shanhai Jing is not only telling the story of the Chinese people themselves, but also spreading Chinese civilization to other countries. So far, only 60% of the entire Shanhai Jing player users.
Today, when I tell you about this game, our first generation of works of "Shan Hai Jing", including its expansion pack "Breath of the Candle", has exceeded 25 million."
When Li Lanyun said this, the pride and pride on her face were beyond words.
When they heard this news, the audience below were all excited.
"Damn it! I heard it right? There are actually 26 million hunters?!"
"Yes, you heard it right, and this is just the Breath of Candles. These people are already considered old hunters. Players who can start playing since the first generation, think about how old they are now?"
"Damn it, I'm really crying. Looking back, the first generation of Shanhai Jing seemed to be really far away from us."
"It's true, I feel like I'm still yesterday."
...
"Later, we came to "Shan Hai Jing·Yan Feng". In this game, we made a large-scale upgrade to the entire game. After all, the previous era of Candle Breath was used to use the X1 engine, but by the time of Flame Wind development, X3 was already very popular.
For the original picture, it will definitely not be applicable anymore.
Players cannot accept the game graphics and quality of an ancient era, so we used the X3 engine to develop this game.
At this time last year, Yan Zhifeng was just released.
Yan Zhifeng has also achieved good sales results.
We also hope that the next White Flower will bring more surprises to players again."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Lanyun stood on the stage and bowed deeply.
There is one thing that Li Lanyun didn't say.
When it comes to Shanhai Jing·Bai Zhihua, the internal plot of the entire Shanhai Jing is already a relatively complete chain. If you want to develop a new work, you will probably jump out of the entire Luoyi Island framework and choose a larger and more open world map.
Guofeng Studio is still preparing for this.
There is no conclusion on what it is, but according to the results of his discussion with the boss, the next generation of Shanhai Jing will definitely be more majestic. Perhaps as time continues to advance, Bomi will not be satisfied with just being a Shanhai Jing island. One day, Shanhai Jing will meet players in the form of a mainland, and then that will be the era that truly belongs to Shanhai Jing.
Or maybe by that day, virtual reality has become possible in the game world.
No one can say it well.
So when there was no conclusion, Li Lanyun did not disclose more information at the press conference.
...
But this time, there have been enough surprises for players.
"Wow, it turns out that there is such a big difference? Why is the picture of the first generation of Shanhaijing in my impression also very good?"
"This should be beautified by memory. In that era, the emergence of Shanhai Jing represented the highest level of game production that year."
"Well, I look forward to it, looking forward to Shanhai Jing·Bai Zhihua, it will definitely be another hit."
...
After the speech on "Shan Hai Jing", Li Lanyun continued to bring you another Bomi game.
Just hearing the BGM, the audience was excited.
Because this BGM is so majestic, everyone knows what it is—
This is the symphony of World of Warcraft.
...
"Wow! Are you here, Azeroth's Warriors?!" The players seemed extremely excited.
"Oh my God, I haven't seen Bomi promote World of Warcraft at the National Electricity Exhibition for a long time."
"Wow, really, I've graduated for a long time and have been waiting for the new version of World of Warcraft to be released. I didn't expect to see it here."
"So happy, it's another carnival day for World of Warcraft players!"
"It seems that this year should be a large-scale update, and I have to look forward to it now."
Yes, the expansion pack of World of Warcraft, or the major version, is actually not updated at a high frequency. It has been almost 3 years since the game was launched and now, and only one major version has been updated once, which is the Burning Expedition.
The player's level has also been upgraded from the original level 60 to level 70, adding a lot of copy content and gameplay, and more importantly, it has opened the era of flying mounts.
After this, the version update will basically be some scattered small version content, and new copies and expansion packs will be updated from time to time. There has never been a major version update.
If you have to carefully study this game, you will find that the update frequency of the major version of World of Warcraft is not as frequent as that of Bomi's stand-alone games.
Shanhaijing was originally the slowest updated large stand-alone game for Bomi Company, but now it can be updated every year. Is this a miracle?
However, when everyone was extremely excited when they saw Bomi start promoting World of Warcraft on the spot.
This shows that today's promotion is extraordinary, especially for World of Warcraft players, it should be very worth looking forward to.
...
Sure enough, on the big screen behind, a World of Warcraft promotional video appeared:
White snowflakes floated in the sky.
The air was filled with a cold smell.
The mages and warriors began to assemble and head to the new continent.
The entire big map is displayed, and a line of big words appears in the top island-
NORTHREND, in English, this land should be translated as the end of the north.
Gudang
Chinese literal translation [Northender]
Then a thick and low voice appeared in the game: "It's time."
"I used to be like you guys, the warriors of Azeroth."
“Wow!”
Hearing this voice, countless players in World of Warcraft expressed excitement.
Because in World of Warcraft, every character has its own unique dubbing, whether in the Chinese version or in the foreign English version, it is basically the dubbing actors corresponding to the characters in the game, so as to improve the recognition of characters in the game, and the way and tone of each character are different.
To be precise, Bomi is a company that pays great attention to game character creation. This requirement is so strict that it is outrageous. If you can't tell who the NPC is from the sound, then Bomi will find a new dubbing and re-record it until you can re-record the corresponding character image in your brain as soon as you hear the sound.
So once this sound comes out, there is no doubt that players familiar with World of Warcraft know—
The person who speaks is [Lich King]
Or Alsace.
This character first appeared in Bomi's "Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne" in 2003. Bomi had already bought the relevant copyright from Blizzard.
Facts have proved that this transaction is really cost-effective. Until now, Vivendi regrets why he sold the Warcraft IP to Bomi, so that Bomi later made a fortune by relying on the Warcraft series, and Warcraft has now become the world's largest game IP.
However, from other aspects, it is hard to say that it would develop into something today if Bomi had not bought the Warcraft, but it is not easy to say that Warcraft and Bomi have achieved mutual success. A classic IP met a master who knows how to appreciate it. Bomi also has the best game research and development capabilities in the world. Boss Cao is also a boss who cares about game themes, so he finally created such a classic here.
Now that everyone hears this voice, countless people are furious about it.
The character dubbing of the Lich King and the character dubbing of the Arthas are actually the same, but the changes in personality traits before and after becoming the Lich King are still quite obvious.
In World of Warcraft, you can already experience some of the changes in this place.
Especially when the prince before entering Stantamsom, it can be seen from the game that this person's psychology has begun to be distorted, and he will become the Lich King after pursuing him.
...
Now when this sound sounds, everyone is suddenly pulled into the game world.
"Oh my God, the Lich King's voice is really unique."
"I've got goose bumps all over my body."
"Wow, the Lich King is so charming. I can already have a premonition that this big version is going to be updated now."
...
On the big screen, people came to Northrend, which was filled with white snowflakes, and the voice of the Lich King's power and majesty continued to ring in the sky:
“You are here trying to bring judgment to the deceased?
You enter the deeper part of the forgetting land.
You can see miracles beyond imagination.
But be careful.
This road will rise and resist.
The horror of forgetting time will shatter your courage.
When darkness comes in the sea, sacrifice everything.
In the end, all those who await the fellows were death.
You will understand then.
To be continued...
