There was no activity on Chen Mo's Weibo after he released the Animus promotional video.
Up until now, the players' understanding of Chen Mo's new game was limited to the Animus trailer. They had no idea what Chen Mo's new game was called or who the main character was.
As the Animus promotional video only emphasized the concept of 'travelling through time and acting as a hero', many players were misled into thinking that Chen Mo was going to be a hero like Washington or Caesar.
If these heroes were the main characters … then wouldn't the game develop in the direction of a narrative epic?
But when he imagined this theme, he really didn't find it very interesting.
Many players were worried that Chen Mo would go off course.
Would it place too much emphasis on history, causing the gameplay to deteriorate and making the game less fun?
A month after Chen Mo released the Animus trailer, a new VR game's trailer caught the attention of many players.
The game was called "Castle: Medieval" and it was developed by a company called 4k.
Game's company.
Game wasn't considered a world-class company, but it was still very famous. This was because they had always been deeply involved in historical games, and could be said to be world-class in the related gaming field. They had a large group of fans.
However, this company did not have a good reputation in China. The reason was very simple. Their games were very poorly translated into Chinese …
Speaking of which, domestic players were very clear about their likes and dislikes. It was quite common for a game to have a bad review because it didn't have Mandarin or the Mandarin was broken into Chinese.
The Chinese versions of Game's new games always seemed to be better than before, making many Chinese players who had bought the game very unhappy.
However, although many domestic players had been giving bad reviews, 4K
The Game was still making the same mistakes.
Actually, the reason was very simple.
Game's games were basically historical games with a western cultural background. Most of the players were concentrated in the European and American regions. Although there were some players in China who liked this theme, the number of players was relatively small.
The Game didn't pay much attention to the Chinese translation.
This kind of insincerity made the domestic players have an even worse impression of the company. Hence, under this vicious cycle, 4K's reputation deteriorated.
Game was used to ignoring domestic players, so things slowly developed to the point where they would never interact with each other.
However, although 4k
Game had a bad reputation in China, but that didn't stop them from having a group of die-hard fans around the world who loved the series. This was especially true for European and American players. What did the Chinese translation of the game have to do with them? He was still playing normally.
"Castle: Medieval" was a game that focused on business management and war simulation.
In 4k
In the promotional materials released by Game, players would play the role of the lord of a castle, building walls, training soldiers, and ensuring the safety of the citizens in the castle. Meanwhile, the farmers in the castle would provide rations and supplies to the castle, ensuring the players' victory in the war.
In terms of gameplay, Castle: Medieval's main pleasure lay in the choices made during different periods. For example, if one spent too much manpower and money on building city walls in the early stages, it would result in weak infrastructure and poor people's lives, which would affect future development. On the other hand, if one only focused on developing resources and facilities while neglecting the city's defenses, one might suffer heavy losses from small-scale bandits or even wild beasts.
The biggest highlight of the game was its highly realistic medieval battle system.
Although the game's setting wasn't big and was only concentrated in a medium-sized castle, its combat system was indeed quite good. There were different types of medieval soldiers, including knights, archers, and so on. Moreover, these soldiers would go about their daily lives in the castle when they weren't in battle.
The Overlord that the players played was a valiant warrior with physical strength and combat ability that far exceeded that of a normal soldier. During battles, players could choose to command from afar, or they could choose to charge at the front to experience the thrill of a life-and-death battle.
Moreover, the game's faithful reproduction of history was one of its main selling points. During the course of the game, players could observe all aspects of the lives of the subjects in the castle as the Lord. Some of the details of life and battles were also carefully researched by the main production team. Basically, it restored the history of the European Middle Ages.
Actually, the concept of such a game wasn't particularly new. At the very least, there had been many similar business simulation games. However, the reason why Castle: Medieval was so popular was because it was on a VR platform, and had achieved a very high level of historical realism and realism.
In the promotional video, 4k
Game's creative team introduced the detailed investigation that they had done in order to recreate the medieval castle, including various historical details and the process of consulting experts and scholars. It could be said that Castle: Medieval was the game with the highest degree of reproduction of medieval history. If one wanted to experience such a sense of history, this game would be a must-buy.
After seeing the promotional materials for Castle: Medieval, the overseas players were naturally elated, but the domestic players were more displeased.
“4k
Game released a new game! This time it's set in the medieval period! "
“4k
game？ That manufacturer that doesn't treat domestic players as human beings? They won't buy it even if it's a new game! "
"That's right. I've bought their game before, and their Chinese translation is worse than flipping machines. They don't even care about bad reviews. Manufacturers like them should go bankrupt!"
"However, 4k?
Not only did Game not go bankrupt, but it's also doing quite well … After all, they're playing against the noble foreigners … "
"I'm definitely not buying it! Whoever buys it is an idiot. Don't regret it when they play the Chinese version like sh * t! "
"Sigh, but I really can't help but want to buy this kind of game theme from the cold weapon era!"
"It's a good game, but it's a pity that it's 4k.
Where's Game? "
"It's not 4k.
Who else could Game be? I think they're the only ones in the world who love making historical games like this? Moreover, putting the Chinese translation aside, they're really good at it. "
"Oh yeah, I suddenly remembered. Didn't Chen Mo's new game advertise 'reenactment of history'? Are you going to do 'Castle: Medieval' as well? "
"It doesn't seem like it. Chen Mo's new game is completely unknown, who knows what it will be? Moreover, I don't think Chen Mo has made any historical games before. "
"Previous poster, how many themes has Chen Mo made that he's never done before?"
