Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 237 141. Isn’t the PV of the new game too imaginative?

This year's Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago has been postponed.

It is said that the organizer did not have enough funds at the beginning and did not want to do this event, and even wanted to close it down permanently.

Later, after collecting some sponsorship fees from gaming giants, the event could be held again.

It's just that the time has to go later. The electronics show originally held in July has been postponed to September.

Then Sega asked if they could go a little further because they wanted to release a very important product at the electronics show.

Of course, others don’t know what it is, but Qing Zhiyuan can probably guess it——

Sega Saturn.

32-bit game consoles.

It can also be regarded as the king of Sega.

An ambitious work developed to seize the console market.

So in order to save Sega's face, the entire Consumer Electronics Show was postponed for another month, and it was moved to October.

Qing Zhiyuan felt shuddered just thinking about how at this electronics show, every company would take out their stuff from the bottom of the box.

In 1994, it was destined to be the war of the century in the gaming industry.

Sega's Saturn, Sony's PS, 3DO's 3DO, and even Apple have to take part.

The heroes are vying for the throne!

Under such circumstances, pokeni seems a bit insignificant.

Horse riding...

We are obviously here to promote world-class masterpieces like "Diablo 2"!

…

However, when Qing Zhiyuan thought about having to face Sega, Sony, 3DO... and a bunch of big guys at the same time, he felt a little embarrassed.

The PS is about to be released, and the Pokémon 3D World here is not yet complete.

Not to mention the new game that Hayao Nakayama was promised to develop on the Saturn console, pokeni simply didn’t have the manpower.

In addition to the upsetting Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago, there was also Hayao Miyazaki who made it difficult for him to choose.

If only an old man from Miyazaki invited him to travel to Yakushima for 7 days, this would definitely be impossible.

Who wants to have a two-person world with a bad old man?

But Hisaishi Joe was different. Qing Zhiyuan was a little eager to try it out when he thought of being able to recruit Hisaishi Joe to make music in the future.

There is a conflict in the schedule, now is the time to test Qing Zhiyuan’s time management ability!

Qing Zhiyuan thought about it carefully and decided to go to Yakushima first and spend a few days of happy time with the two masters before flying to Chicago.

In Chicago, Kazuma Takahashi, the company's director of operations, can prepare for the war first.

At that time, Takahashi will explain and demonstrate the part of "Diablo 2".

…

Compared with those, the first one to arrive is the PV of "LIFE-LINE":

Just one month after pokeni's CL was released, major TV stations broadcast the PV of LIFE-LINE's new work.

The sun shines through the clouds and onto the ground.

The world is white.

But in such a snow-white world, there is a peaceful and quiet town in the distance.

The outer walls of the town were gray, as if they were frozen and lifeless.

You can see how dilapidated and decayed it is at a glance, and there are not even many people on the streets.

At the same time, the sad and melodious BGM sounded, like the cold wind in winter, making the atmosphere of the entire game even sadder.

Atsushi Shirakawa composed for "LIFE-LINE", [Snow of Light]

At the same time, the male protagonist's voice sounded in the screen.

Since he is the same voice actor as Okazaki Tomoya in CL, it gave the audience a sense of familiarity that [Tomoya] is back.

"This is an inconspicuous-looking town, very desolate. Although you can hear the sound of the tide outside, it makes this town even more lonely."

"No sound, no unnecessary words."

"There is no lively scene as imagined."

"The feeling of loneliness exists here all the time."

“But, I felt like this was exactly where I was looking for.”

The male protagonist finished speaking and the camera zoomed out.

I saw a young man, wearing thick clothes, gently holding the hand of a little girl.

Two people left a line of footprints in the snow.

Walking towards the small town in the distance.

"Is this a place where we can find happiness?"

The male protagonist asked softly.

"My daughter Nale has suffered from severe eye disease since she was a child. What she sees in her eyes is completely different from mine, and she cannot recognize the world."

"However, we, father and daughter, have the same desire to pursue happiness."

"We have been wandering for this purpose."

"Is this a place where we can find happiness?" the male protagonist asked again.

"What kind of world does it look like in my daughter's eyes?"

The BGM suddenly changed and became cheerful and lively.

Because the whole world has changed.

It is different from the world scene that humans understand.

Therefore, this part of the content should describe the world in the eyes of the daughter.

The snow on the ground is not white, but pink.

The sky is filled with infinite colors.

The entire game world has become grotesque, and the people have strange shapes. They are not human, but more like spliced ​​paint.

It's like master Hayao Miyazaki knocked over the paint tray and splashed it directly into the already painted game world.

Coupled with the cheerful and lively BGM, the entire PV atmosphere immediately became relaxed and pleasant.

Then all the main characters in the game appear.

The PV screen switches back and forth between [Normal World] and [Colorful World].

At the end of the PV, the male protagonist pulled his daughter with a smile on his face, and the two of them ran on the pink bridge.

Towards the endless sky.

In the sky, a colorful city floats.

"Perhaps this is the answer we are looking for."

"Happiness or sadness, which one will come first?"

Snap.

The PV ended abruptly.

POKENI’s logo appears at the end of the promotional video.

【LIFE-LINE】

【Life is a miraculous journey】

[Sadness or happiness, which one will come first? 】

[Furuhara Chunqiu’s comeback work]

[Available in all major game stores starting from November 8th]

【Stay tuned】

…

After watching the PV, the president of the Elf Club, Hiruda Masato, had his fingers trembled and almost knocked over the coffee cup at hand.

"I'm...so awesome!"

The original opening PV gave him the illusion of staying in CL. Because both games are drawn by Hayao Miyazaki, they appear to be somewhat similar. Except for some scenes and characters, the look and feel is really similar to CL.

And that kind of sad atmosphere made Zhidian Changren feel the urge to cry.

The main reason is that CL is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But what he never expected was that from the moment he introduced the part about his daughter's eye problem, the entire world would change.

The bizarre sights are full of endless imagination.

Huge strange and beautiful creatures floating in the sky.

Pink snowflakes on the ground...

The whole world is different, and the originally dead town seems to be alive.

No, to be precise, this is no longer a small town, but an unknown place full of endless charm and buried treasures.

The father and daughter are like two brave men exploring a different world.

This imagination is really amazing.

"This is Hayao Miyazaki!"

This is the Hayao Miyazaki that Hiruda Masato knows and remembers.

Because CL's script needs to be realistic and depict life, the space for Mr. Miyazaki to play is actually very limited.

But here in LL, the world in the eyes of the heroine is different. This setting alone gives Miyazaki endless room to display his talents.

Therefore, people in Zhitianchang can clearly feel the difference of LL.

"Master Miyazaki is indeed Master Miyazaki."

It was like suddenly letting go of myself.

What kind of game is this? It’s clearly a Hayao Miyazaki cartoon!

Not to mention anything else, this picture alone is very rare.

"Is this still a galgame?" Zhidian Changren could no longer describe this feeling in words.

He doesn’t know the rest yet, but he knows one thing very well——

Just because of the graphics and settings in this game, Hayao Miyazaki fans can boast about it for several years.

"Looks like LL is going to explode again!"

…

As soon as the PV came out, pokeni players immediately exploded.

"Wow, LL's PV is so amazing, isn't it?"

The first reaction of the players is naturally the visual reaction, which is the same as Hiruda Masato.

Because this is also everyone’s most intuitive memory.

"Miyazaki Hayao's painting style is really impressive, and in order to describe the bizarre sight in the eyes of his unique daughter, he made serious preparations.

It is said that in order to draw these parts well, Miyazaki's hair turned white. "

"Ale? Isn't Hayao Miyazaki's hair white?"

"Well... it's not important. These details are not important. What is important is that the style of this game is really surprising. Hayao Miyazaki is truly worthy of being a national treasure-level master."

"Well, that's true. At the beginning, I thought LL was a story similar to CL, with an ordinary town, seaside, snow, daughter...

I was thinking at the time, isn’t this Tomoya and his daughter Xiaoxi?

When I saw this, my dead memory came back to life and was killing me.

Tears were welling up in my eyes.

But at this time, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the whole world became gorgeous.

Can you imagine how I felt at that time?

Suddenly he was pulled up from the abyss and lifted directly into the sky.

And it is the sky of the fairy tale kingdom.

There were pink bubbles all around. "

"Well, it's very interesting. This part alone makes people want to buy LL."

"But have you ever thought that this game is very likely to be a tear-jerking game, and it is no less impactful than the impact that CL brings to everyone?"

"Sadness, have you seen the word [sadness]? Don't be fooled by the colorful world behind it. It's just the world in your daughter's eyes, and it has nothing to do with the real world.

And from the beginning of the atmosphere to the final monologue, it is actually filled with endless sadness.

[Happiness or sadness, which one will come first? 】

You see, how straightforward it is.

I can tell you here and there that this game is a tear-jerker, an absolute tear-jerking game.

And it’s also the work of Furuhara Chunqiu.

Don’t be fooled by the intermediate process! "

"But wasn't the end of the game very lively and cheerful? Since the whole world changed in my daughter's eyes, I felt that the PV atmosphere at that time was really cheerful."

"Run, idiot! Haven't you ever played the game POKENI? How happy it is at the beginning and how happy it makes you feel, then the knife will get harder and harder later.

Sometimes I even think that if the joy and happiness in the front didn't make you feel warm and beautiful, you wouldn't be moved by the sadistic plot later. "

"Maybe I will still be moved. But without the foreshadowing and contrast before, the subsequent moves will not be as strong.

It also won't make people have the urge to kill Gu Yuan Chunqiu. "

"Yes, this is the trick used by old thieves. Don't be fooled!"

LL's game PV is so well done that it makes people feel uneasy, thinking there is no trap in it, right?

Players posted a lot of discussions on the pokeni community forum, but in the end they didn't come to a conclusion.

"In short, the final actual effect depends on the release. You can't know the truth without actually experiencing it in the game.

Think about it, when CL's PV came out, how many people looked down on the game, thinking that the setting was too ordinary and that the old thief from Gu Yuan had exhausted his talents?

Now, I have a preconceived notion that LL must be a tear-jerking game. Maybe it’s too early to tell. Is it everyone’s wrong judgment? "

"Impossible! Is this the first day you met the old thief Gu Yuan? This game clearly has the word "sadness" written on the screen, but you still want to deceive yourself and tell everyone that this is a happy game?

Obviously deceiving himself. "

"In this game of LL, if you don't use the knife, I will stand on my head and eat shit!"

"Pfft... Do you want to bet so big?"

"Maybe after Gu Yuan Chunqiu saw this comment, he changed the ending overnight?"

"Just to make me eat shit? Then I'm willing to sacrifice myself in exchange for everyone's happiness."

"Ah~ I really want to cry to death, this player friend is too good, right?"

…

In addition to the heated discussions about the game graphics and whether LL will be a tear-jerking game, the character setting was mentioned the most by players.

There's not much else, it's mainly focused on the male protagonist.

The male protagonist in LL is different from the male protagonist in galgame games that everyone knows. In life-line, Hayao Miyazaki specially added a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

This made the male protagonist's appearance instantly drop several notches, which was in sharp contrast to pokeni's previous image of male protagonists.

Even though he is known as the ugliest male protagonist in the history of P agency [Belt Man], besides being wrapped in a quilt all year round, he actually still has a good-looking face.

"Huh? I didn't expect that the male protagonist of pokeni's game this time would be so ordinary, and he also wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses."

"Can such a male protagonist really conquer beautiful girls?"

"This is the first time I see a male protagonist wearing black-rimmed glasses. Could it be Hayao Miyazaki himself?"

…
