Although Zou Zhuo died a heroic death, at least he completed his mission, which was to let many players know about the 'Extraordinary Player Mode'.
After all, the millions of viewers in his livestream clearly saw the difference between when this mode was turned on and when it was turned off. It was like a living advertisement.
Many of the viewers chatted in the black livestream. They were waiting to see if Zou Zhuo would come back, but they were also discussing this new mode.
"Can any of you tell us what this new model means?"
"Me too!"
"Why do you have to trouble us with everything? Can't you guys check online? It's written in the introduction of Resident Evil! "
"Forget it, I'll explain it to you guys. It means that when this mode is turned on, the gaming cabin will implant the talents and consciousness of the top players into your brain. Didn't you guys feel that the fatty's shooting skills were very stable? Also a lot calmer? Not infuriating at all? That's probably because of this mode. "
"F * ck, isn't that the official cheat tool? Wouldn't I be invincible if I used it to play League of Legends and get chicken dinners? "
"In your dreams … Currently, only single-player games support this mode. Otherwise, wouldn't the talented players revolt?"
"Basically, this mode is meant for all standalone players. It won't affect other players, but it will allow you to experience what it's like to be a professional player. It's not lowering the difficulty of the game, it's increasing your upper limit. As long as you keep playing this game, you'll naturally become stronger. "
"… You successfully recommended a horror game to me. Okay, I'll go buy Resident Evil."
Many players would rather die than buy a horror game like Resident Evil. However, when they heard about this new mode, they felt like it wasn't impossible to buy it …
Most people didn't dare to play horror games because they were timid.
Poor skills? Then they could play with a lower difficulty. At most, they would die a few times. After they memorized the strategy, they would be able to clear the game no matter what. However, the process of clearing the game was torturous, and most players wouldn't have any fun.
However, there were some die-hard players who loved to play horror games. Obviously, the difference between them and other players was that they could find joy in horror games.
For this group of people, horror games could boost their adrenaline, increase their heartbeat, and let them experience the thrill of seeking death to the extreme. They could experience extreme excitement that they could not experience in reality …
That was not the only fun part of horror games. They could also test the players' ability to remain clear-headed and rational in times of emergency. They could also test the players' ability to find key clues amidst a pile of useless information and solve the mystery.
However, whether or not the Players would be able to enjoy these pleasures was basically something that was already predetermined. If they didn't like it, no matter how much training they put in, it would be useless.
However, with the Extraordinary Player Mode, players didn't have to worry about whether they were suitable for a particular game genre.
Seeing that a cowardly player like Zou Zhuo was able to remain calm in Resident Evil and face all kinds of difficulties, the others were even more confident …
…
As soon as the Extraordinary Player Mode was released, it immediately attracted a strong response from the players.
However, the first consensus that the players reached was: Streamers are forbidden from using it!!
The anchors felt bitter in their hearts. Why can you all use it, but we can't!
This was actually quite reasonable, as the anchors were basically putting on a show for the audience, showing off their skills and talents. If they used Extraordinary Player Mode, then whose talents were they trying to show off?
The audience would say, "If you're playing like this in Transcendent mode, then I can do it too. Why should I watch your livestream?" If you're good at playing without Extraordinary Player Mode, then you're the real deal! "
This quickly became the consensus of the audience. Apart from a few pretty and timid female anchors who could use Extraordinary Player Mode to stream Resident Evil without being scolded, all other male anchors would be scolded without exception …
The anchors felt bitter. Many anchors decided not to stream Resident Evil at all, and would secretly use Extraordinary Player Mode to experience the game when they weren't streaming, and they still had to hide it …
However, this mode was really fun for the players.
This was Chen Mo's original intention. This mode was for the players to have fun in private, as it was a part of the game experience. As long as the players limited this to single player games and didn't cause any trouble for other players, it would be fine.
The introduction of this mode had an unexpected effect, which was that the sales of Resident Evil skyrocketed.
Outlast and Silent Hill were both famous horror games by Chen Mo, and could even be said to be household names.
Although the two games used completely different pricing and marketing strategies, in general, many people knew about them, but not many people actually played them. Even though Silent Hill adopted the strategy of "clearing the game and giving it a free game", most players weren't moved at all, because they had a strong desire to survive …
However, from the current popularity and sales curve, it was no surprise that Resident Evil would outsell the other two games.
Of course, this was all thanks to the new game mode. When the players tried it, they realized that they weren't as scared of playing horror games, and even seemed to understand why horror games were fun.
As a result of this, the sales of Resident Evil continued to increase, and discussions about the game became a hot topic among the players.
…
The success of Resident Evil and Extraordinary Player Mode allowed many people to see the bright future of this mode.
Its greatest significance was that it could eliminate the barriers brought about by the players' "talents", allowing niche games to no longer be niche. It would allow players who were not confident in themselves to dare to try out games that they would not have dared to touch before.
Resident Evil was only the beginning. Other than horror games, there were many other games that could use this mode, such as Suffering.
Some hardcore games could even use this opportunity to expand into groups of players who weren't interested in games, such as female players.
