Chapter 240 The offline trial has received rave reviews
On June 5, the first domestic offline trial will be launched as scheduled.
Media people, game bloggers and amateur players were invited to the headquarters of Fog Mirror Game Company to try it out. The venue is very large and the specifications are even higher than some well-known game manufacturers.
If you are not short of money, you are willing to spend it.
1,000 machines have been prepared for offline trial play, and 5,000 people have been invited to try it out.
Each player has about 1 hour of trial time. According to the game rhythm of "Machine War", he can experience about three games in about 1 hour.
This game requires 100 people to start the game. There are 1,000 machines. Each round starts with 10 games at the same time.
The demo session was very lively. Under the lens of reporters, many amateur players were deeply immersed in the game.
Since this is a new game, although the gameplay of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is similar, it is also very different. The people who tried it were relatively newbies, and they were exploring and playing, so they had a lot of fun.
And the resurrection system of this game has six stages in each game, with five opportunities for resurrection.
Everyone’s gameplay is also more unrestrained, unlike in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Anyway, there is still a chance to resurrect after dying, as long as 5 people in the team are not wiped out at once.
That is, after the equipment is gone, the value of the resurrected character will be weakened.
Some skills require corresponding equipment to be used, and cannot be used without the equipment. However, as long as a teammate has the corresponding equipment resources in his backpack, the attributes can be restored again by sharing them with him.
An hour later, the 1,000 players in the first round of trial games left the machine with unsatisfied feelings, and other players in line also got on the machine to experience the trial game.
At this moment, an amateur player who has just finished the trial is being interviewed by the media.
This game is 10 out of 5 stars;
"The resurrection system must be praised. I am also a player of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". The feeling of landing in a box as soon as I enter the game and taking my hands off the keyboard is very unfriendly and the game experience is very bad." There is a certain punishment mechanism, and it has achieved a very good balance, and players can also relatively reduce this punishment mechanism through reasonable allocation of resources. The playability space is greatly improved, and the strategy is richer. "
"The game quality is really outstanding, it is definitely a world-class T0 level. You can also see special animation details in the airborne cabin. I found that the animation was different in the next game."
“You can tell from many details that the production team has put a lot of thought into polishing the game. Hardcore players like us can feel it as soon as we play it. The sincerity is often reflected in the details.”
"Frankly speaking, I am quite surprised. A game of this type can have a story background, which also shows that the game is polished with care. Is it true that there will be a PVE story mode before?"
Reporter: "Haha, your evaluation is really high. It feels like you have received money. Are there no shortcomings and shortcomings?"
The player thought for a while and replied: "I have not found any obvious shortcomings so far. After all, I have only played three games and the content I have played is limited. We may not be able to find any shortcomings or bugs." r/> “Of course I don’t have a big problem, my own computer configuration can maximize the picture quality and special effects, haha!”
“But I am still worried about it, that is, I don’t know the background of the production team. Whether the game can continue to be optimized well or not is a commonplace issue. "
With the end of the five rounds of trials, the 5,000 players invited to play gave it a 97% favorable rating and a 3% neutral rating.
And the negative review rate is zero.
It is indeed far beyond expectations. After the actual test experience, the feeling is even more profound.
Many amateur players who were invited were worried at first that the game would merge together elements of Battle Royale, League of Legends, and Overwatch. However, after playing it, they discovered that Fog Mirror Company had really made this game a perfect fusion of the best of each other.
Of course, in addition to the fact that the game itself is much more fun than expected, there are still some off-site factors.
That is this offline trial meeting. The organizer, Fog Mirror Company, covers all travel expenses, meals and accommodation.
There is really nothing wrong with this aspect.
Food, accommodation and entertainment are all included, and the hotel rooms cost 600 yuan a day. This alone cost 3 million yuan.
For invited players, especially the many amateur players, even if the game is not fun, it is difficult to give negative reviews in person. As the saying goes, you can only criticize others for their shortcomings, and everyone can also feel the respect of the developers of this game for the players.
What's more, the game itself is really fun, so it's really hard to give a bad review.
…
After the trial session, major game bloggers also published review articles or videos on social media.
Of course, in some videos released, parts that need to be kept confidential will be cut out, including parts that need to be kept confidential and cannot be exposed in advance.
With the end of the trial session, the number of game trial videos uploaded by major video websites has increased significantly.
Some are posted by bloggers who review games, and some are posted by amateur gamers.
Faced with rave reviews from invited players, as well as various benefits.
Many players who are paying attention to this game have seen many newly uploaded game videos, and their expectations have been further raised significantly.
Of course, at this time, those who were slandering the game began to say that those who were invited to try it must have received money from Fog Mirror Game Company, so they gave zero negative reviews in a unified manner. They said they did not believe that there was no problem at all.
I definitely took the money and said something unconscionable.
Now many of the players who were invited to try out the game are stuck in Bengbu. It’s okay if they actually receive money. But the problem is that they haven’t received any money. They can’t bear the blame.
So the group started again, and the battle became fierce again, which actually made the game more and more popular.
At about 17:00 that afternoon, Fog Mirror Game Company officially released a piece of blockbuster news, which instantly detonated all the players.
This news is: "Machine War" will be officially launched on Saturday, June 24, 2017. It is announced that it will be launched on the PC. The Chinese server has an exclusive client. It is also confirmed that it will be launched on the platform and supports 23 languages including Simplified Chinese, English, French, and German.
And Fog Mirror Games stated that it is negotiating with the two major platforms of PlayStation-4 and Xbox.
In other words, if all goes well, this game will be released on all platforms.
Once the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the industry.
Many players who have become fans of the game and have added it to their wish lists are overjoyed.
No one expected that it would be launched so soon, and they all thought that the game might not be available until 2018 at the earliest.
After all, according to the release rhythm of domestic online games, they generally have to go through several processes such as closed beta, internal beta, and public beta before they are officially launched.
In other words, under normal circumstances, ordinary players will not be able to play it until the public beta stage.
There is no news about the closed beta of "Machine War Storm". Most players feel that they may have to wait for about a year or even longer before they can play this game.
In the end, I didn’t expect that I would be able to play it this month. I had to wait for another 19 days to play it.
What surprises players the most is that "Machine War" was announced to be officially launched on June 24.
In China, it is difficult to obtain game licenses, even from Goose Factory.
However, Fog Mirror Studio obtained the game license for "Machine War" very early. Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for a new game company to obtain the license so efficiently.
This is one of the reasons why peers envy this company for having such generous resources.
There is no doubt that the main reason why Fog Mirror Studio was able to obtain the version number so smoothly is because it is backed by the big tree of Metaverse Intelligent Control, and the game "Machine War" is not just a simple game, but also has potential connections with armed robots.
There is basically no resistance to getting a version number.
