The surprise came so suddenly that it was a bit hard for everyone to accept it.
I just said that the game was not promoted, isn’t this coming?
What better promotion channel is there than a month-long super recommendation on the official platform homepage?
You know, other game manufacturers can only get a seven-day rolling recommendation at most, and it can't be bought with money. The quality of the game itself must be good enough to hope to be ranked.
But now, "Walking with Darkness" directly comes with supreme VIP treatment.
Although it seems to be a bit too much of a son's treatment, it may be a bit unfair in the eyes of others, but when this kind of treatment falls on me, there is only one feeling.
So cool!
Liu Bo was stunned. He looked at Lu Zhixing: "Brother Lu, this is what you are talking about...a little hacker? This is ATE! That notorious hacker organization! If a general game company meets them, they will be ripped off and lose money." Disastrous, all lost!"
Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "Compared to VRNO, isn't it just a little hacker?"
Liu Bo was speechless for a moment: "Brother Lu, I don't know what to say to you for a moment..."
Yao Wenyang also said: "Mr. Lu, you are too low-key! And you didn't say that our company's virtual space played such a big role!"
Everyone thought it was just an insignificant and indiscriminate hacker attack, and the officials just came over for interviews as a routine matter.
Only now do I know that’s not the case at all!
The virtual space built by Lu Zhixing must have played a very important role, otherwise the official would not be able to give them such a strong recommendation alone.
This is no longer something that can be explained simply by "treatment as a biological son"!
Only then did everyone understand what Yao Wenyang said before, and they all looked at Li Rushan.
"Mr. Li, you already knew about this, right? No wonder you are so calm and even bought us a cake in advance to celebrate!"
"Yes, you and Mr. Lu really deceived us by singing along. No, we have to eat cake for three more days to make up for the trauma in our hearts!"
"Three days of cake is too overwhelming, the calories are explosive."
"It's okay. We do rock climbing and parkour every day, and the caloric gap is huge. Don't be afraid! If Mr. Li dares to treat us, he will eat it!"
Seeing everyone's joy, Li Rushan didn't react for a while.
what's the situation?
who I am? where am I? what happened?
what are you guys saying? Why can’t I understand a sentence?
…
As this news advisory has been posted on the homepage of the official platform for longer and longer, there have been more and more related discussions on the Internet, and it has become more and more popular!
It's just that most people's reactions are similar to Li Rushan's.
Confusion was written all over his face.
"What's going on? There's a bug in the official backend, right? Why is this serious news listed as a game recommendation?"
"Which game is so lucky to catch this kind of bug? This is equivalent to a super double recommendation on the homepage!"
"Are all the quantum reading contestants upstairs? As long as you look at the news, you will know that this event is correct. This game is directly related to the news!"
"Is there a direct relationship??"
"Isn't it written in it? The reason why Jinghai Research Institute was able to solve this case and crack down on the hacker organization was largely due to the help provided by this game."
"I don't read much. Don't lie to me. How can a game combat hackers?"
"The official has issued a formal press release, so it shouldn't be wrong. But I'm also wondering, how did it do it?"
"The manuscript said: The reason why this operation was successful was because the virtual space built by a Jinghai designer based on the game blueprint created great difficulties for these hackers during the intrusion process, so the official was able to Track them without alerting them and uproot them!”
"It's okay if I don't listen to this explanation, but I'm even more confused after hearing it..."
"The virtual space that the designer built according to the game blueprint created great difficulties for hackers during the invasion process? In other words, the hackers didn't even understand the levels of the game? Are they confused?"
"It seems that this is the only way to explain it..."
"What nonsense is this news? In other words, this game is "Walking with Darkness"? This designer should be Lu Zhixing from 404 Studio, right?"
"This should be the only explanation..."
The players discussed it back and forth, and although they came up with a rough idea, it made the whole incident even more outrageous.
What kind of game levels are there that hackers have trouble with?
In just a few hours, the search volume for "Walking with Darkness" on the entire Internet soared thousands of times, and it instantly topped the search engine popularity map!
And as players dig deeper, more details emerge.
This is a horror game that won first place in the Dream Building Game Competition. Judging from the official trailer, it seems to also incorporate parkour gameplay...
What shocked players even more is that it has already been released!
If it were released according to the original deadline, players would have to wait at least four days to play it. Many people may have forgotten this.
But now, the game has received explosive popularity as soon as it was released, which can be said to be just right.
Many players who have paid attention to this game before because of the promotional video feel as if they have lost their memory.
Wasn't it promised to be released on Saturday?
They looked at the official promotional video full of doubts and found that the date written in the video was Tuesday. They almost thought they had some terminal illness and their memory was confused.
As a result, I took another look at the comment section below and found out that it was an official reverse ticket, released four days in advance!
This is weird. Postponement and bounced tickets are very common, but game companies that bounce tickets forward are truly rarer than giant pandas.
In this way, with the blessing of many factors, players either paid for it immediately, or poured into major live broadcast rooms, wanting to see what this game that even hackers can catch is like for the first time!
…
"Lao Niu Lao Niu, call Lao Niu!"
"Open the door, open the door, don't hide in there and make no sound, I know you are at home!"
"If you don't come out to air "Walking with Darkness", it will be considered a five-game losing streak for you."
"Five consecutive losses! Five consecutive losses! Everyone, let Lao Niu see it!"
Liu Liang's blood pressure was high when he saw the barrages posted by these people in the live broadcast room.
You fans, don’t go too far!
Why have you lost five times in a row?
The previous four consecutive defeats were also forced upon me by you fans!
Liu Liang felt that everything was going wrong for him during this period. Even if he encountered Mercury retrograde, it wouldn't make sense for such a long time, right?
"Zen" had a bad start, "High School Show" and "Ordinary Life" failed to predict for the second time in a row. "Ordinary Life" even used the elimination method, but it could not get rid of the bad luck.
"Overcoming Difficulties with Cats" is even more outrageous.
He originally wanted to escape the disaster by pretending to be dead. If I don't predict it, it won't be wrong, right?
As a result, the fans didn't accept his tactics at all: at first glance, you were not optimistic about the game. As a result, the game received rave reviews and it lost four games in a row!
Liu Liang discovered that it was a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that could not be avoided.
If he continues to pretend to be dead, fans will really not hesitate to label him with a five-game losing streak.
At that time, my reputation will be completely ruined!
But the problem now is that this is a horror game!
If it were other games, Liu Liang could bite the bullet and play it, but horror games are still VR horror games with consciousness connection. This thing might kill people!
Although the current VR technology has relevant protection mechanisms, which can suppress the player's fearful emotions to a certain extent, and will automatically disconnect the consciousness when detecting huge fluctuations in the fear value, it is still scary when it should be!
Those excellent horror games on computers and consoles don't have such a strong sense of immersion as VR, can't they still scare players to death?
Although Liu Liang calls himself a hardcore gamer, he doesn't really play many horror games.
And it is truly a game that can be played for a year.
Seeing that the daily broadcast time was coming, Liu Liang's face was full of entanglements.
what to do?
At this moment, he saw a paid barrage.
"Old Niu, stop hiding, I know you must be peeking at the screen! Otherwise, as long as you insist on completing "Walking with Darkness", we will break your losing streak and start your winning streak!"
Seeing this paid barrage, Liu Liang instantly became energetic.
Um? Which cutie is this?
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world. Aren’t there fans who will help me find a way out?
Although it is a horror game, it is made by 404 Studio after all. The company's previous game was "Ordinary Life". Even if it is a bit scary, you should just tolerate it and get over it, right?
OK, let’s start broadcasting!
