The reporter was very happy to sit down.
There were also many comments on the chat.
"Wow, I can show off in this game! Watch me show off! "
"Hehe, three hundred matches is enough for Genji!"
"Why does it feel like this game is flawless? Is he exaggerating too much, or did I miss something? The scenery is rich, it's cool, and it's showy, it's perfect! Did Chen Mo come up with a big move? "
A few more reporters asked questions, but most of them were focused on the details of the game. Chen Mo didn't go too deep into it.
It was a tacit understanding. The reporters wanted to dig out as much information as possible to create a bigger stir before the game's release to bring more traffic to their website. The designers, on the other hand, wanted to hide as much information as possible to create a sense of mystery to attract the interest of the players.
Therefore, after a battle of wits, the players' expectations were pushed to the peak.
Based on the information that Chen Mo had released so far, they came up with a game like this.
A slightly more difficult lawn mowing game.
Rich sceneries and boss battles.
A level design that claimed to be the best in the industry.
A brand new work that continued the spirit of Diablo.
The content that was revealed during the press conference had the players excited!
Chen Mo took a look at the clock. It was about time.
"Next up, let's announce the release date of the game.
"Dark Souls will be released on the first of September, both in China and internationally. The game has both Chinese and English voices, with subtitles in multiple languages, including Korean, Japanese, French, German, Russian, and many others.
"For players in China, all they have to do is log into Thunderbolt Gaming Platform and download the game. The game will be priced at 1988 RMB, and it supports online play.
"One more thing. The general rule is that new games can be unconditionally refunded if they've been bought within two weeks and played for less than two hours. However, Dark Souls can be unconditionally refunded if they've been played for less than three hours. This is a small benefit for the players, since Thunderbolt Entertainment doesn't have any VR games that are selling for such a high price.
As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, another wave of comments flooded the chat.
On one hand, the price wasn't too expensive. In VR games, 1988 RMB was only a mid-range price. Based on Dark Souls' current quality and rich content, it was the first work of the Pangu System, so it was definitely worth it.
Moreover, Chen Mo extended the refund period by an hour. Although it didn't seem like much, it was better than nothing for the players.
Some people noticed that Chen Mo had a faint smile on his face when he announced the extension of the refund period.
However, they did not quite understand the meaning behind this smile.
…
Not long after, Knight of Glory also announced the release date of September 10th, nine days later than Dark Souls.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. The research and development of Knight's Glory was already progressing at such a fast pace that they couldn't push it any further.
Frank was puzzled. Was this China company on steroids or what was going on? Even though it started later than Knight of Glory, why was it released earlier?
Their research and development speed was unparalleled!
However, Frank knew that it didn't matter if it was released a few days later, as long as it was released within a month, it wouldn't matter. The key was still the quality of the two games and the reviews from the players.
…
Three days before the release, Chen Mo's experience store welcomed a huge wave of new players.
According to the experience store's usual practice, new games would be released in the experience store before release for the players to try out. Most of Chen Mo's other games were released a week early, but for some reason, Dark Souls was only released three days early.
Many people thought that it was because the game was in a rush, so they couldn't release it early, but they didn't think too much about it.
The experience store became very crowded as soon as it opened. There were even a few streamers from the Imperial Capital who came over.
However, what surprised Chen Mo was that Qiu Hengyang was here as well.
Chen Mo smiled as he led him into the lobby, "Old Qiu, you're a rare guest. What brings you here today?"
Qiu Hengyang replied, "I haven't had much inspiration recently, so I was wandering around. I heard that your new game is going to be released today, so I thought I'd come and try it out."
Chen Mo chuckled, "Alright, no problem. Find a VR pod first, you can play pick-pods or something. You'll be able to play Dark Souls at 10: 10. "
Qiu Hengyang nodded, "Alright."
Old Qiu randomly picked a gaming pod and went in. The gaming pod had already been installed with Dark Souls. As long as he waited for 10: 10, these games would be activated at the same time, and he would be able to experience them directly.
This time, Qiu Hengyang had come because he was encouraged by the others in the group. Everyone was curious about how Dark Souls was doing, and they were all itching to see it.
Qiu Hengyang lived in the Imperial Capital, and was very close to Chen Mo's experience store. Therefore, he was chosen as the representative to try out Dark Souls, as well as take a look at the special effects of the Pangu System. He wanted to see if he could find some inspiration for himself, as it might come in handy in the future.
There were many people in the VR experience area. Although Chen Mo's experience store had quite a few VR pods, they were quickly filled up. If Qiu Hengyang hadn't come early, he would have had to queue up.
Among the players, Qiu Hengyang even saw a few famous streamers on the internet. They were probably there to try out the new game.
Evidently, Chen Mo's games had a huge influence in China, to the point that some popular streamers were his diehard fans.
It didn't take long for Dark Souls to be activated.
Qiu Hengyang entered the game immediately.
First was the opening cinematics.
He had seen this CG before, but it was a different experience when he experienced it in VR mode.
In VR, it felt like the player was in the scene. Although the perspective was fixed, the feeling of being in the scene was still shocking to Qiu Hengyang.
He could only sigh. Thunderbolt Movies had been playing with cinematics for years, and they were getting more and more creative.
After the cinematics ended, it was time for the character selection screen, also known as face molding.
"Oh? Faces can be molded? "
Qiu Hengyang was a little surprised, as Diablo didn't have the ability to mold faces. This was a game that was all about grinding, and didn't really care about appearances.
However, it was still an improvement to be able to mold faces.
Qiu Hengyang quickly understood after looking at the options. This wasn't just a face molding screen, it was also a class selection screen.
Apart from customizing a human's appearance and body shape, the player could also choose their class when they were alive. Different classes would bring different equipment and weapons at birth, as well as different starting stats.
Moreover, the player could choose burial items, which were special items that were brought at birth.
Qiu Hengyang didn't have any special requirements for appearances, so he chose a normal Paladin to start with.
