Many players were confused when they saw the name of the game.
"PUBG … PUBG? It's not Digging the Ground to Advance! "
"What's going on, what happened to the VR version of Mountain Climbing? This … looks like a FPS game! "
"The new game is called PUBG, Chen Mo wasn't lying!"
"My goodness, I'm impressed by Chen Mo's ability to bluff people. Now he can bluff people with his mouth full of truth, I have to give it to him!"
"Chen Mo's ability has evolved from the first stage of 'bullsh * t with a straight face' to the second stage, 'no one will believe him even if he speaks the truth'!"
"Also, this CG looks like it's quite rich! Can anyone explain how this game is played? "
The players' enthusiasm exploded as soon as the video was released!
After a period of spreading rumors, most players subconsciously believed that Chen Mo was actually developing a VR version of Digging Ground. When the cinematics were released, the players realized how wrong they were. The name of the game was similar to Mountain Climbing, but in reality, it had nothing to do with each other!
The CG took a long time, but since the entire CG was recorded in-game, it was not difficult to make. The CG contained a wealth of content, triggering heated speculation among the players.
According to the CG, the plane carried a hundred players to an isolated island, and the island was littered with weapons, items, and vehicles.
The players parachuted to the island, picked up the weapons, and killed each other until only one person was left.
The evidence was the words on the plane, "If you're not first, you're dead!"
Under the framework of the game, the players could do many things. They could hide themselves, assassinate enemies, and even chase each other in cars.
At the same time, players could also obtain a variety of different firearms. Judging from the situation in the video, there were at least ten different types of firearms, ranging from relatively weak pistols to extremely lethal sniper rifles. Everything that one could think of was available.
There was even a very nonsensical pan.
As for the term 'Battle Royale', it did not exist in the parallel world, as this world did not have a movie with the same name by Shinji Fukasaku, nor a novel by Hiroharu Takami.
However, the three words "Big Battle Royale" were easy to understand from the literal meaning. After all, it was a large-scale mass escape and killing activity …
The players had a rough idea of how the game would be played, but their reactions were vastly different.
"… What's the difference between this and traditional shooting games? The gun isn't special, the car isn't special, so you changed the game mode? "
"I was a little excited when I heard Chen Mo was making an FPS game, but now I'm a little disappointed. Doesn't feel like there's anything new?"
"There doesn't seem to be any technological innovation? Although it uses the Pangu engine, it's still a traditional gun. "
"Moreover, this mode feels very unbalanced! If I didn't pick up the gun after jumping, wouldn't I be dead if someone else picked it up? What if I'm unlucky? "
"Not giving guns at the start of a gunfight game? Whether or not he could get it depended on himself? Wait, don't tell me there's some kind of pay-to-win operation? "
"I think this mode is fun. It's very innovative! This way, there will definitely be more strategies to use, and it won't be the same as before. People who are too high profile will die very quickly even if their marksmanship is good. "
"That makes sense, but the game's name sounds a little scary. Could this be a horror game?"
"Do you think … I'll develop an antisocial personality?"
There were many different opinions, but in general, most players didn't pay much attention to this new game. The reason was simple, it wasn't exciting enough.
For example, Wolf Soul: Modern War had all kinds of large vehicles and violent explosions. Through the promotional video, it could create a very exciting scene. It was completely different from the traditional gameplay of Wolf Soul.
On the other hand, Blazing Assault 2 focused on the atmosphere, describing the emotions of the main character. No matter what the plot was, at least it looked like it had a lot of depth to it.
As for PlayerUnknown's Battleground … strictly speaking, the trailer only proposed a gameplay mode, nothing else was new.
It was similar to the reaction of many people in Chen Mo's previous life when they first heard about Battle Royale. So brutal? What a good game! Interesting!
But at the end of the day, most people still felt that it was a niche gameplay mode. It would be considered a classic by a small group of hardcore players, but it would be difficult for it to spread to the majority of mainstream players.
Many game reviewers expressed that although PlayerUnknown's Battleground could use Chen Mo's influence in China and internationally, it was still an FPS game made for a small group of players. It was only suitable for a small group of players.
No matter what, the information had been released, and the smoke bomb from before had dissipated. Every gamer knew that the three major game publishers in the country were rushing to produce new FPS games. The rumor that there would be a wave of FPS games before the New Year was not groundless.
The players knew very well that all three companies were ambitious. The previous three major FPS games didn't have a clear winner, and version 0 of the FPS war would be even more intense.
…
First of April, experience store.
Today was the day Chen Mo announced in the trailer that PlayerUnknown's Battleground would be open to players. However, many players were doubtful, as it was April Fool's Day after all …
They weren't sure if Chen Mo chose this day on purpose.
Many players came early in the morning, wanting to be the first to try PlayerUnknown's Battleground. After all, PlayerUnknown's Battleground was the first to be playable out of the three Pangu FPS games released after Chinese New Year.
Many FPS game enthusiasts also wanted to see if PlayerUnknown's Battleground would be able to take advantage of the Pangu FPS system.
Prusley, Li Bai, who was also one of the popular streamers of Overwatch, Old P, came all the way to the experience store to see how Chen Mo's newest FPS game was.
Old P was a moderately famous streamer in the domestic FPS scene. He had good shooting skills, a good attitude, and a lot to say. He was one of the first players to stream Overwatch in China, and was also an expert in Genji. His stream had a peak of more than a million viewers.
However, Old P could also feel that the popularity of his livestream was declining. At the peak of "Overwatch"'s popularity, the number of viewers in his livestream had reached 1.39 million, but now it was only 700,000 to 800,000.
Old P was still doing well, as he was a big streamer after all. Many smaller streamers in Overwatch were even worse off, with less than a fifth of their peak viewers.
Currently, the three major FPS games were being squeezed in the livestream platforms. The impact came from standalone games such as Dark Souls and Massacre the Original Form which had explosive livestreams, and the impact came from new mobile games such as Kings of Glory. On the other hand, the few big streamers of LoL were as steady as a rock, and their livestreams were still as popular as ever.
There were also internal and external threats.
