Game production: I really have landed

Chapter 340 Diablo

[Diablo]
"Chuxin's recent promotional videos have become more and more perfunctory. I look forward to the same experience of watching a PV as watching a movie."

"Diablo? It seems inappropriate for Mr. Luo to put such a small thing out."

"This seems to be Spanish, meaning devil."

"So the new game is another horror game?"

Every time a new game is launched by Chuanxin, it always triggers discussions among countless gamers at home and abroad.

But for a big pineapple with only a game name, it's too early to talk about it.

Everyone can only wait anxiously for Chuxin officials to release more news.

Everyone is electronically ED and anxious, so stop trying to ingratiate yourself with everyone.

A month later.

The game PV video named Diablo is simultaneously broadcast on Chuxin’s official website and all major platform accounts on Chuxin’s entire network.

Hot Woman, naturally started broadcasting early, and with a large group of first-time fans in the live broadcast room who had experienced a long drought, they began to watch the first PV of Diablo.

The flickering flames illuminated the room dimly and brightly.

The man lying next to the wall turned his head suddenly, revealing a bearded face with bloodshot eyes.

Through his gaze, and the light source of the torch in the middle of the house, the door of the building opened.

A man whose face was obscured by a robe stood at the door.

The wind and snow outside were introduced into the room as the door opened, causing the torch to sway.

The man's eyes were dim, and a voice murmured in his heart:

"The evil in my dream...is it always following me?"

The man dragged the weapon in his left hand and slowly walked into the room.

"He's a bad guy. He's wearing such weird clothes in such a cold weather. I feel like there's going to be a murder later."

"I hate this kind of pretentious person wearing a cloak."

"Evil in dreams?"

"Do you know what it means to close the door casually? It's such a cold day, don't you know how to cool down?"

Erxiao almost burst out laughing when she saw the last barrage, but she still wrapped her blanket tightly around her body.

"Brothers, the temperature has dropped in the past two days. Take good care of your body and don't catch a cold."

This building seems to be a tavern.

A sudden change of camera revealed the unusually eye-catching oak tankard on the table, which can be said to be a very familiar element symbol to everyone.

Seeing this uninvited guest who broke into the room with an iron sword, all the guests were attracted by the situation here.

They stared at this guy, watching him standing on the ground holding the iron sword in his hand, trembling uncontrollably.

"He... and the devil in his body..."

The man was leaning against the wall, watching as the uninvited guest suddenly dropped the sword in his hand and pushed the table next to him with force, knocking down the torch next to him.

Perhaps it was the wine left on the ground, but in just an instant, the raging tongues of fire spread rapidly with an unstoppable trend!
The whole tavern was instantly set on fire!

This is not over yet, the raging fire suddenly sweeps upward!

From the depths of the flame tornado, hideous and terrifying skeleton soldiers suddenly emerged from it.

A guest's chest was penetrated by magic power, and the fat beast on all fours crushed everything.

In just an instant, the entire tavern was completely engulfed in a sea of ​​fire!
The cloaked figure faced the sea of ​​fire, making it difficult to see his emotions.

But the face of the man who was lying on the ground at the beginning was filled with panic, and his eyes were filled with tears of shame.

He was terrified.

"What did I say in the first place? The team was destroyed!"

"Yeah, I don't know who is the protagonist. Isn't it the old man on the ground who was frightened and crying?"

"So the cloaked man has a demon sealed in his body? Is that the name of the game, Diavolo?"

"However, the atmosphere created in this game is indeed top-notch, and Chuxin Film Company is like this."

"Yeah, I want to watch Battle of Two Cities 2. When will the original intention come out? Stop thinking about playing that stupid game of yours all day long."

After a brief black screen, when the video screen became bright again, the man who was scared to cry in the tavern but survived appeared again in the player's sight.

Only this time, his hair and beard were all white, and there was a large area of ​​bald spot on the top of his head. The wrinkles and the eye-catching veins on the back of his hands all showed that a long, long time had passed since the fire in the tavern.

And it was also here that everyone knew the identity of this older man.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, Mallos."

The door behind him slowly opened.

Mallos, who was paralyzed on his side, got up from the ground in a panic.

Get as far away from this cloaked uninvited guest as possible.

This outfit.

Yes, that's right, he was the culprit who caused the tavern fire!

"I finally found you."

The cloaked man slowly sat down in front of Mallos, watching him keep retreating.

However, when the man's buttocks sat down on the chair, his entire figure was flooded by the large sunlight projected from the window behind him.

An unexpected fantasy appeared in Mallos's eyes.

It was an extraordinary creature wearing sacred armor, with wings like a band of light flying all over the sky behind its back!
After Mallos saw the true appearance of this extraordinary creature, his whole face was filled with a sense of relaxation, repentance, and relief.

"That's not my fault."

He said so.

"So the man in the cloak was a devil before, and now the man in the cloak is an angel. It's so funny. Why do these people like to wear cloaks?"

"Is it possible that I inherited it from God? God is a man in a cloak."

"Okay, I very much agree with this explanation."

Following Mallos's memories, players also saw some of what happened after Mallos was taken away by the demon.

They were walking towards the setting sun in the desert. Maris was obviously exhausted and fell to his knees.

On a rare bare rock platform in the desert, the devil took Mallos to light a bonfire here.

The moonlight above his head alternately brightened, and Mallos slept uneasily on the ground, but the demon just looked at the flickering flames in front of him without making any movement.

"It's to blame...that wanderer..."

The player finally saw the face of the guy whom Mallos called the wanderer here.

This is the face of a resolute man.

While Marius was sleeping, he was suddenly summoned to a sealed land.

In the middle is a suspended platform, connected by a single sling.

In the center of the platform, a man was bound and wailing in pain.

Suddenly, Mallos was awakened, and when he raised his head, he saw the face of the homeless man:

"You know who I'm looking for, Mallos."

The next second, in an ancient tomb filled with bats, Marius, holding a torch, led the wanderer to the place where he was sealed in his sleep.

As the dust on the sealing stone continued to peel off, the blood-red runes bloomed with dazzling brilliance. "The next scene is really terrifying!"

Here, the man bound to the sealing stone.

No, it can no longer be called a human being!
His whole body was enveloped in flames, and his hair was waving in all directions like the tentacles of an octopus.

This is a complete devil!

"No, aren't these demons a fierce bunch? Why do we need Marius to lead the way?"

"Marius has a special status? What kind of ancient noble bloodline does he have?"

"I bet fifty cents that this devil has escaped."

"Fifty cents? Who are you looking down on? I'll bet a piece!"

Soon, everyone's questions were answered.

"help me!"

The man's soul penetrated the demon's body, and he begged Marius to pull out the yellow sharp stone inserted in his chest.

Then Mallos did just that.

"No, bro, are you going to do this? Are you really stupid?"

"Is it possible? The devil behind is forcing this guy to pull it out. If he doesn't pull it out, he will be killed."

"So this stone can only be touched by humans, right?"

Just as the players judged Marios' actions.

"madness!"

A man wearing a holy angel armor, with countless wings of light behind him, and a hooded man whose face could not be seen fell from the sky and held the yellow sharp stone in his hand.

The angel grabbed Marius by the neck and lifted him up angrily.

"You have plunged the entire world into a crisis of destruction!"

The screen turns.

The gate of the castle slowly opened.

The man holding a cane looked at the countless troops outside the castle slowly moving forward.

"Open the road to hell!"

The demon, whose body looked like a blood-stained skeleton, looked at the altar in front of him and opened his arms.

The monster, who looked as pale as if he was about to die, stretched out his hand and released two bright red magics aimed at the man who had just walked out of the castle.

"Fire will rain down from the sky, the sea water will turn into blood, and everything in the world will surrender to the army of hell!"

The angel holding a green flame and the demon who had unlocked the seal collided on the bridge and fell down together.

"Rise up! Lord of Fear! Diavolo!"

The monster-like being covered in bright red stood in front of the gate of hell and looked back.

"The Lord of Destruction... Hatred... and Terror has returned to the world, and we must stop it at all costs."

Mallos looked at the angel in front of him and slowly handed over the yellow sharp stone in his hand...

This is the end of PV.

"It's so exciting, it's almost like watching a movie promotional video. I remember an old man said that doing PV at first was becoming more and more perfunctory. Isn't this? I will satisfy you fiercely."

"The atmosphere is really full. It should be a classic RPG game where the protagonist saves the world. We want to transform into heroes and directly crush the kings of destruction, hatred, and fear."

"Isn't it possible that our players are demons? Going against tradition is quite interesting, hahaha."

Everyone is still a little bit unsatisfied at this moment.

In this PV, the various skulls and demons are really fun for everyone to see.

The release date of the game is not too late, which makes everyone feel happy.

"It will take another two months to play? I can't wait any longer."

"It's only been two months. New players like you, don't scream. We have been waiting year after year. If we say too much, we will shed tears."

"The donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this."

As for Luo Bai, he is also conducting a high-intensity self-search in secret.

It’s normal for everyone to think this looks like a movie. After all, the game Diablo is one of Blizzard’s classic IPs.

I know everything about Blizzard's CG. I really do it with my heart and my feet...

The game is actually very playable, but since being acquired by Vivendi, under the management of Activision, Blizzard has slowly lost its independent voice and decision-making power.

All game development has become a victim of business.

From the previous battles between white and black, where can there be still white and black on the Internet now?
In the end, Overwatch, the only team that was expected to return to the top, also killed itself.

As one of the few games that can threaten the status of Three Kingdoms Killer, Overwatch 2’s gold content is also evident.

If Blizzard really goes bankrupt, it is estimated that all Blizzard fans will shout "It seems!" and then silently remember the touching moments that some of its IPs brought to everyone back then.

And let’s return the topic to Diablo itself.

Among this IP, it is the most classic and defines the second generation of ARPG gameplay. It is the childhood memory of countless players.

At that time, it was known as the three hegemons of computer games along with Red Alert and CS.

It is also the most playable one in the entire series.

Even more than 20 years after the game was released, this game still has a group of very loyal old players.

Some people chose the reset version, went to the online ladder to trade with everyone, and played the new Rune Words and new BD.

Some people stick to the most classic 1.13C version, feeling the glory days of Blizzard, their attitude towards game excellence, and their exquisite art style.

Even the pixel quality is completely incomparable to the reset version.

There is even a Tieba man who famously said that as long as the computer can run Diablo 2, the computer can be used.

But so much has been said and so much boasted.

If you really focus on the game itself, it is actually a very simple game of grinding equipment.

Which equipment to use depends solely on your appearance.

It's possible that you can't get the thing you want after fighting the BOSS a hundred times, but a monster will pop up on the roadside.

The basic goal of the game is to shape a character's BD. The molding process requires brushing equipment, and after the character is molded, it is also to better equip another character's BD.

Moreover, there are many variables in the equipment in the game. It is possible that for the same piece of equipment, due to a small numerical difference, the former may be worthless, while the latter may be priceless.

This also increases the cost of playing for players when brushing equipment in disguise.

Nowadays, all kinds of games and various gameplays are flourishing.

Whether such a core driver, which seems to be so boring and meaningless, can still withstand the test of the market.

Luo Bai doesn't know.

However, for some players who have severe squirrel addiction and like this brush game very much,

Diablo 2 is like a cup of long-lasting fragrant tea, you must try it.

Although... there are some equipment that some people will never be able to acquire in their lifetime.

cough cough.
