As Chen Mo revealed more and more information, the discussion about Dark Souls became more and more heated. The amount of attention it received wasn't any lower than in his previous life.
This was mainly because it was the first game to showcase the Pangu System to the players and designers in China, and it was made by Chen Mo himself, so there were a lot of expectations placed on it.
Even if Chen Mo didn't make Dark Souls but another game, it would still receive a lot of attention.
However, Chen Mo didn't reveal too much about the specifics of the game's playstyle. The videos that were shown were mostly battles against elite monsters. They were very smooth and didn't seem difficult at all, so many players mistook it as a lawnmower game.
It wasn't that they mistook it, because it was a lawnmower game according to normal logic …
Back when Diablo was released, many video game media and professional video game designers had analyzed that farming in a hopeless world was a great way to play, and Chen Mo had no reason to give it up.
However, Chen Mo wasn't willing to reveal more information, making the players very uncomfortable.
Just as the players' expectations for Dark Souls reached its peak, Chen Mo finally announced that he would be holding a press conference to introduce the new game to the players, as well as announce the release date of the game.
After hearing this news, the excitement that had reached its peak and was about to drop was reignited.
"Is it finally happening? Chen Mo's launching a new game is pretty official this time! "
"There should be more details in the press conference, right? Let's see. "
"Chen Mo really knows how to keep people in suspense! Can't he just release the game earlier? "
"Maybe it's not done yet, but even if he's holding a press conference now, it's still quite fast!"
Those who were familiar with Chen Mo would know that he wasn't a fan of new game press conferences. It was completely up to fate whether he held one or not.
Strictly speaking, the last press conference was back when Minecraft was released, and it didn't cause much of a stir back then. Minecraft caught up to Minecraft, and it was only after it was released that people started to realize how different the game was.
But things were different now, and everyone was looking forward to Chen Mo's new game.
…
On the day of the press conference.
In a five star hotel conference room in the Imperial Capital.
The press conference was a huge event for most of the gaming media. There were even many foreign gaming media reporters who flew all the way here to attend the conference.
At the same time, the major video websites and live-streaming platforms had also prepared new live-streaming rooms for the new game conference. There were also text live-streaming posts about the new game conference on the major gaming forums.
There were even some anchors on some foreign live-streaming platforms who broadcast the conference out of enthusiasm. There were even simultaneous interpreters who translated the conference into other countries' languages.
It could be said that this press conference attracted the attention of many video game fans.
It didn't take long for the press conference to begin.
Chen Mo held the microphone in front of the big screen, and a round of applause immediately rang out.
Chen Mo smiled as he looked at the reporters, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend this press conference. "I'm sure you're all aware of the details about Dark Souls, but I'm sure everyone is still confused. What kind of game it is?
"I've published some information about Dark Souls on the internet. However, I'm sure everyone is still confused about what kind of game it is."
"Today, there are three main topics. First, we will continue to reveal some information. Second, we will have a Q&A session. I will answer some of your questions. Feel free to ask. After that, we'll announce the release date of the game and other matters. "
"Alright, let's first watch a video."
Chen Mo stood to the side as a new gameplay video appeared on the screen.
This time, the video was no longer a CG. It was a real game.
Floating in the air, the camera zoomed through different scenes in the world of Dark Souls, including the city wall of Lothric, the undead settlement, the path of the living sacrifice, the Faran Fortress, the Deep Cathedral, the underground tomb, the Coldflame Valley, and so on.
The various scenes in the game were displayed in front of the players. This time, the editing was very natural. Every scene was glimpsed and then quickly changed.
The entire video was only slightly more than five minutes long, but it brought the audience to enjoy many magnificent vistas. Some of the locations that the players called stunning views were given a longer shot, and the many reporters in the audience exclaimed from time to time.
All the major bullet screen video websites were flooded with comments like 'awesome' and '666'.
"F * ck, this scene is so grand? How many special scenarios are there? I feel like there are at least ten of them! "
"The number of scenes in this VR game seems to be on par with the Diablo series, maybe even bigger? You've done so well! "
"Also, why do I feel like the entire world is very connected? Do you guys feel the same way? It seems like the bird's eye view from before covered the entire scene. "
"Awesome! The content of this game is really explosive. Who knows how Chen Mo managed to get it out in such a short amount of time, this is insane! "
"Glory of Knights is probably going to be disappointed after watching this. Dark Souls has more than ten different scenarios!"
"What about the boss battle? Let us have a look at the boss! "
The video ended very quickly.
Chen Mo came to the front of the stage and said to the audience, "As you can see, most of the special scenes in this video were recorded. That's the style of the game. However, all of the scenes were recorded in a small corner of the game.
"It's not easy to estimate how long the players will actually spend in the game, but it should be quite long."
The reporters in the audience were confused. It's not easy to estimate how long it will take?
That didn't sound like something Chen Mo would say.
It was still possible to estimate the total playtime of a game. It shouldn't be hard to estimate how long an average player would need to complete the game based on the game's capacity and difficulty.
Was Chen Mo hinting that the game would have a lot of different levels with many forks in the road?
Hmm, that should be the case.
The reporters didn't think too much about it.
"There's another video next, mainly to show you the boss battle in the game."
