Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 341 245. Old thief! Do you have today too? !

"I believe everyone has heard it just now. The first piece Hisaishi asked teacher to play was "Bloody Moonlight" from "The Witcher"."

Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"So, The Witcher 2: Demon Spawn."

At the same time, Qing Zhiyuan silently stepped aside and let out the big screen behind him.

The lights dimmed again during the scene, just like in a movie theater.

On the big screen behind him, a big POKENI logo appeared.

Darken again.

Then slowly some blurry pictures began to appear.

The picture is still very dark, but it can be vaguely seen that this is probably a battlefield.

Dark clouds piled up in the distance, the ground was already covered with corpses, crows were wailing, and a few vultures were hovering in the sky.

The camera is pushed to the ground, and an arm is lying on the ground, separated from the body.

And in this arm, some maggots came out of it, which looked particularly disgusting.

Maggots are different from the ones we often see. They have black bodies and are covered with long velvet. They look more like wriggling dandelions.

It’s just that the top of the [dandelion] is red.

The maggot's body is covered with eyes of various sizes.

This section is completely presented in the form of animation, which took a lot of time from the pokeni team, so the effect is quite explosive.

Seeing this, some people in the audience were already feeling unwell.

"No, I want Yue."

"It's so scary...what kind of game is this?"

"Didn't the Witcher talk about vampires? Why did he become like this?"

"Who knows...ah...I can't bear to look at it, it's so creepy..."

Everyone was talking about it.

But they also seemed to feel that there was something different about this game. Even though it was a 2D animation, it had a chilling and sad feeling.

"Did the producer change? Why did the taste change all of a sudden?"

"It seems like, I remember it was originally "The Witcher" directed by Shinji Mikami, right? Who is it now?"

"I don't know, he seems to be a new guy."

…

The overall game style is quite Japanese, which can be regarded as a Japanese-style Western fantasy style, so the characters' clothing has Western elements, but the overall face shape and appearance are all Japanese-style.

But it is games like this that sell well in Neon and Omi.

A more typical example is Square's Final Fantasy series.

On the big screen.

One foot stepped on the ground, making a dull sound.

There was a crackling sound when stepped on the severed hand.

A pile of dandelions exploded immediately.

Then, the other foot stepped down, forming a rhythm with the previous foot. This is a man's pace, slow and steady. His figure loomed in the darkness, like a ghost.

He kept going, not knowing where his destination was.

At the same time, the wound on his chest was clearly visible.

A large black hole has been opened in the chest.

What's weird is that there is no trace of blood flowing in this man's wounds. Rather than saying that he is a living person, he is more like a walking corpse.

Vultures kept circling in the sky, following him forward.

As if waiting, as soon as the person falls down, he will pounce on him and peck him to pieces.

At this moment, the [Warrior] seemed to be exhausted and fell down on his back.

The vultures in the sky received the signal, their eyes lit up, and they immediately swooped down.

And just when everyone was sweating for him, he suddenly stretched out his right hand.

He suddenly grabbed the vulture flying in front of him.

Click.

The screen suddenly went black.

The monologue then started:

"This is a world full of killing and war"

"A world where the jungle prevails."

"A world like hell with no end, only despair"

…

The screen switches, and what follows is presented using a rather obscure comic technique:

In the darkness, a hand covered with veins held a strange meat ball.

In the middle of the flesh ball is a strange pattern that looks like a human eye.

"Devil eggs, according to legend, are seeds produced by demons. After being parasitized, they can inherit the power of demons."

In the picture, a silhouette of a man is kneeling on the ground, covering his neck with his hands. At the same time, in front of him stands a tall, terrifying creature that looks like a demon.

He held a meat ball in his hand.

Some slender tentacles extend from the outside of the ball.

In the next scene, those who swallowed the demon eggs turned into terrifying demon warriors.

"The kingdom exists because of the devil, and it falls because of the devil."

The king was stabbed to death on his throne, but his crown was held high by the devil.

The whole picture is very distorted, focusing on a wild and uninhibited but infinitely terrifying feeling.

"Is it the demon hunter who saves the world, or the devil himself?"

In the last scene, a man with a terrifying appearance and a devilish appearance stood on the tower, holding a laurel wreath in both hands and placing it on his head.

The camera panned, then passed through his body and came to the front.

The hideous face lurked in the darkness, melting into flames.

The flames burned and words were burned from the big screen:

"The Witcher 2: Demon Spawn"

…

The entire game animation, along with the sounds in it, came to an abrupt end.

Everyone trembled as if someone had hit their hearts hard with a hammer.

"Wow, that's so scary. Is this the "The Witcher" I remember?"

"The previous demon hunters targeted vampires. This time, the demon hunters are really fighting demons, right?"

"The animation level has improved a lot, but I don't know how the actual effect will be."

…

Moving on to the real-machine demonstration, Qing Zhiyuan invited the game's producer Hidetaka Miyazaki.

"This is Hidetaka Miyazaki, our producer of The Witcher 2: Demon Egg, and he will give you a live demonstration next."

"Hello everyone, my name is Hidetaka Miyazaki."

Everyone below was surprised. They didn't expect that the producer of such an important game was a young fat man.

And this guy always gives people a very special feeling.

Hidetaka Miyazaki smiled very shyly throughout the whole process. Even when he spoke, his head was half lowered. He did not dare to look at the audience below, let alone look directly at everyone.

According to Qing Zhiyuan’s words, it’s——

A character who can combine [Shyness] and [Siny Prey] is really not simple.

Reporters were looking forward to The Witcher 2, but when they saw Hidetaka Miyazaki, they still pressed the shutter and recorded the young producer's first appearance on stage.

To be honest, Miyazaki Hidetaka was particularly nervous today.

I am already very nervous at ordinary times, especially when facing so many people, it is even more difficult to deal with myself.

If Qing Zhiyuan hadn't forced him to come here to promote "The Witcher 2", Miyazaki Hidetaka wouldn't be standing here at all.

…

Entering the actual demonstration part, Miyazaki held Sony's PS controller and started the game.

The audience below couldn't help but shine.

The Witcher 2 is still from the Witcher series, that’s for sure.

Because from the overall character design to the entire picture composition, they are all consistent, looking delicate and dark.

The texture on PS has improved a lot at once.

At the same time, the overall atmosphere of the game seems to have become a little more depressing.

"Ah, the picture suddenly improved a lot. But it's still the familiar witcher style, with flowing cloaks, white hair, guns and broadswords...

All it takes is one more Mia. "

After all, it is the same production team, but the producer has been changed, and the original art paintings are still the same, so the overall style must be consistent.

The game plot has completely opened a new chapter.

As a series, there must always be some legacy.

"Ah, it's really touching. When I first played The Witcher, it's been more than 2, almost 3 years now, right?"

"But it should be worth it. After moving from the MD platform to PS, if you look at this picture and this picture quality, I feel that my eyes are no longer short-sighted."

"I miss you. The Witcher 2 should be the successor to The Witcher 1. I don't know what changes there are. I remember when I played 1, the combos and cool moves really amazed me. arrive.

I still can’t forget it. "

Everyone was talking about it, basically reminiscing about the refreshing and cool combat experience that The Witcher 1 brought to everyone.

However, when Hidetaka Miyazaki actually played it, it was completely different.

Miyazaki controlled the male protagonist and faced the first approaching mini-boss.

Before he could get closer, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from behind.

Fortunately, the entire game is from a bird's-eye view, and the range that can be seen is relatively larger. Miyazaki's reaction is also relatively fast, and he quickly rolls to avoid it.

But this time it triggered the attack range of the little boss in front.

Before he could react, the little boss, whose lower body was like a bee and whose upper body was a human body, slashed at him with a sickle in his hand.

brush!

His blood volume immediately dropped by half.

This wasn't the worst part, the mobs that had sneak attacked before swarmed up and pounced on him.

Immediately after the screen turned red, Hidetaka Miyazaki let out a cry of joy in his heart!

Before he could drink the medicine, he was beaten to death by a group of people.

The screen turned completely black and white, and a big prompt appeared on the screen:

【you are died】

…

This scene was so frightening that Qing Zhiyuan, who was watching from the side, almost dropped the microphone in his hand.

Damn it!

What happened? !

Not only Qing Zhiyuan failed to react, but the audience below also didn't react.

Everyone was stunned by this unexpected [Death Demonstration].

Good guy, old thief Miyazaki, are you today too?

but……

Qing Zhiyuan's whole body felt bad.

I knew it was difficult for him, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Qing Zhiyuan was careless and did not personally test the difficulty of the game. He just took a look at the game's completion and brought the game to the press conference.

It can be said that I regret it quite a lot.

…

"Did you all see just now?" Qing Zhiyuan picked up the microphone and forced a smile, "We have added some very novel death expressions in the new "The Witcher 2".

For example, if you were killed by a poisonous bee just now, your body will change color when you die.

If it is beheaded, the body will be broken into two parts.

The same goes for monsters. We do this work to further increase the sense of impact and refreshment, and to make the combat system of The Witcher 2 richer. "

Qing Zhiyuan guided everyone.

Everyone looked at it and it seemed that this was really the case.

"Oh, after working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was specially designed to show death animations."

"It's so interesting, I didn't expect it at all. I thought I was really hacked to death by a monster just now."

"As expected of pokeni, he can always come up with something new. Not only are the games at P Club very creative, but the way he displays his creativity is also very unexpected."

"Hmm, this way the death animation can actually be seen clearly.

I didn’t expect pokeni to actually put death animations on the characters.”

…

Although Qing Zhiyuan is in the emergency rescue, this function is not nonsense. They have really added different death methods for the impact of The Witcher 2.

Almost every monster has two to three different death animations, depending on the way it is killed.

As for the color change caused by poisoning, it is just a matter of changing the color channel of the texture according to its attributes. In fact, the function is easy to do and the price-performance ratio is very high.

This is also to enhance feedback and allow players to experience more game fun.

Qing Zhiyuan pretended that nothing had happened and waited for the game to restart, while asking in a low voice, "What should I do? Miyazaki."

You made a game yourself, but was hacked to death by a mini-boss during the demonstration. Are you embarrassed?

However, when I think about the old thief Miyazaki, he is still alive today.

Qing Zhiyuan was inexplicably happy.

Of course, it would be great if Miyazaki Hidetaka was not his subordinate, in which case he would probably laugh very happily down there.

But……

Damn it, we are demonstrating!

How could you let slip on such an important occasion?

"It doesn't matter, I can turn on the cheat console." Miyazaki Hidetaka said.

ha?

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the man who looked like Liu in front of him in surprise. Did you expect that something like this would happen?

…

It's said to be a console, but it's actually some hidden easter eggs that developers buried for testing purposes, just like adjusting 30 people in Contra.

Miyazaki Hidetaka and others also buried similar operations in the game early on.

I saw him holding the controller, pressing it, and entering the game. The hero's blood was locked, and no matter how the monster hit him, he would not lose blood.

In this demonstration, Hidetaka Miyazaki completed the task perfectly and showed everyone the core combat part of The Witcher 2.

Especially in the BOSS battle, Miyazaki specially designed it according to their respective characteristics and environment, which is particularly outstanding.

After the demo of "The Witcher 2: Demon Egg" ended, there was thunderous applause.

to this young producer.

It is also a recognition of this demonstration.

"Looking at it this way, The Witcher 2 seems quite interesting."

"Although it doesn't have such a gorgeous combo, in terms of impact, it's really improved. Even my blood was boiling just watching it."
