In the end, the difficulty of Dark Souls was decided. Although Qian Kun was extremely worried about the difficulty, Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the players are much stronger than you think."
Qian Kun could only pray for the players, hoping that they were on their own.
At the same time, as more and more details were revealed about Knight of Glory, it caused a bigger and bigger impact in the Chinese gaming industry.
Although the battle between these two artificial intelligences was not brought to the surface, in private, everyone's hearts were as clear as a mirror, as clear as day.
GA had already made their move, and had successfully caught the attention of the international media. If the Chinese video game companies didn't do something, the limelight would be stolen away. This was obviously the opposite of what the Game Committee wanted.
Many designers were discussing this.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like Knight of Glory has a high completion rate? How did GA prepare so quickly and thoroughly? So much information has been revealed already! "
"Yeah, from the information that's been revealed, the completion rate might be around sixty to seventy percent, or even higher. This is way too fast!"
"Geez, I just thought of an idea for the game!"
"Previous poster, so what if you have an idea? You make it sound like you have access to the Pangu system … That's only been given to a dozen or so people in China. "
"Ahem, I'm in a difficult situation! Can't you just let me finish playing the game? "
"I wonder how the Chinese designers are doing, but it shouldn't be that fast, right?"
"The main thing is the time difference. Origin was developed faster than the Pangu system, so GA should have gotten access a long time ago. They have an advantage in terms of time, so it's normal for the game to have a higher completion rate. You should know that before Origin's physics engine was officially revealed, GA's research and development was already underway! "
"This competition isn't fair to us!"
"Stop messing around, when has this ever been fair? We'll just have to see who has a faster project in China. Speaking of which, has Chen Mo made any moves? He's probably the fastest video game designer right? "
"Indeed, in terms of speed, Chen Mo seems to be faster than most designers in China and overseas. If there's anyone that could counter Knight of Glory, it's probably Chen Mo!"
There were other designers who had obtained the rights to access the Pangu system. However, time was too tight. After these people obtained the Pangu system, they had to study the characteristics of the system, plan the new game from scratch, and then start working on it. In such a short time, it was difficult to come up with some exciting game information, let alone a finished game.
As for the foreign designers, although Origin's physics engine had only been revealed a short time ago, it was obvious that some big companies had been experimenting with this physics engine even before it was revealed. No one knew exactly how long they had been working on it.
However, Chen Mo wasn't worried at all. Dark Souls was being developed very quickly, and he wasn't afraid of anyone in terms of speed.
After all, in the world of martial arts, only speed was unbeatable. This was even more so in the gaming industry.
…
Almost at the same time that Glory of Knights was released, Chen Mo's Weibo also released the opening cinematic for Dark Souls!
The Weibo post didn't contain any text other than a video, mainly to give the players plenty of room for imagination.
After seeing this Weibo post, the players in China were shocked!
"My goodness, Chen Mo didn't just stand by and watch, releasing the opening cinematic. Is he trying to fight back?"
"Nice, I like his temper!"
"This also means that Chen Mo's development is very fast. He can't just release a cinematic to trick people, right?"
"Probably not. Aren't Chen Mo's new games always released faster than everyone's expectations? Let's see what this cinematic says, and what kind of game it is! "
The designers and players all clicked on the cinematic, wanting to see more information about Chen Mo's new game.
…
The opening scene of the video was filled with fog.
There was a dusky color everywhere. Countless sky reaching ancient trees towered there, many enormous and undying ancient dragons at the side of the trees.
A low and old female voice spoke in a low voice, giving off the feeling that an old witch was talking about doomsday prophecy.
"In ancient times, the world hadn't split yet, and was shrouded in fog."
The camera zoomed in through the gaps of a large tree. At the same time, sparks lit up, brightening up the entire scene.
"But one day, the first flame was born, and later generations called it the First Flame."
Beside the raging flames, countless black shadows stood up.
"People found the King's Soul around the First Flame, and used the power of the fire to defeat the ancient dragons that ruled the world."
The camera turned to the Sun King Gawain holding a lightning spear that pierced through the sky, piercing through the army of ancient dragons.
"The age of fire has begun …"
Through the layers of fog, a vast view appeared on the screen. A magnificent city appeared on the screen!
This was an incomparably prosperous human city-state. Just a glance from afar was enough to tell how magnificent it was.
Then, the screen turned black, and sparks fell from above.
"But the fire will eventually die out, and the world will only be left with darkness."
"The light can't illuminate the world, and the night will never end."
A hand reached above the flame and ignited itself.
"Heroes with great power used themselves as firewood to pass on the continuation of the flame. People respectfully called them: Lords of Cinder."
Then, there was a long period of black screen, indicating that countless long years had passed.
Then, the ruins of a city appeared on the screen.
In the foggy background, there were collapsed buildings everywhere, looking lifeless.
"That city is called Lothric. It's the hometown of the Lords of Cinder, and it's also the gathering place of the wanderers."
Many strange creatures with crutches and turtle shells on their backs moved with difficulty in the gray wasteland.
"Therefore, the pilgrims all headed north and understood the meaning of the fable."
"The fire has gradually died out, but there is no sign of the king."
A pilgrim was finally exhausted. He raised his head and tried to look in the direction of Lothric before collapsing.
The camera zoomed out. The pilgrim was motionless and lifeless. He died on the way to Lothric.
"When the flame of inheritance is extinguished, the bell will ring and wake up the ancient Lords of Cinder in the coffins."
The scene came to the Fire-Relaying Sacrificial Ground. The bell in the bell tower rang, and the camera gradually moved down to a cemetery.
The coffins were opened, and the sleeping ancient Lords of Cinder were all awakened.
"The Saint of Nether — Eldridge."
"The watchers of the abyss — Farran's Undead Squad."
"And the lonely king of Karmic Capital — Yum the Giant."
The scene changed again, and it came to the interior of the Fire-Relaying Sacrificial Ground. The Fireproof Woman held the blindfold that was slowly flowing with dark matter with both hands and put it on her head.
"However, the kings will definitely abandon the throne, and the ashes without fire will come one after another."
"Those are the nameless, cursed undead who can't become firewood."
"But it's precisely because of this that the ashes are so eager for the remaining fire."
The scene came to an abrupt end, and the name of the game appeared on the screen.
