Once the 30-minute live demonstration of "Sky Mountain" was announced, it immediately caused shock in the gaming circle.
Danmaku.com’s videos have reached unimaginable explosive data in just about 4 hours!
101W plays, 71W likes, 55W coins, 49W collections, 19W retweets.
This data is so terrifying!
Putting aside other people's videos, if you want to achieve this kind of data within 4 hours, I'm afraid only a handful of sites can meet the standard.
At the very least, there is no such data for technology games in V-Bo.
This also shows that the reputation of the only game is getting better and better, and the audience of horror games is also getting wider and wider.
Plus, it’s not just the data.
As of now, there are still 1,000+ people watching.
The total number of barrages is as high as 1.2W!
The total number of comments is as high as 7451!
As soon as the video opens, colorful words are floating.
"Awesome! New game!"
"The whole 30 minutes is tight and suffocating, good! Good!"
"Can I hold weapons!? Wochao! I can finally hold weapons like in "Dark Forest"!!"
"+1, I thought it would be difficult to make a combat system in VR games. It doesn't seem to be difficult, but I just don't want to do it!"
"You're a man and you go down 100 floors? Are you irritating me? Is this a hotel?"
"The map is so big, it looks like an apartment or a hotel, but this monster is chasing me, and people are getting dizzy. How am I going to play as a road addict..."
"This monster... is bandaged like a mummy. I'm a little weak. It looks so scary. What will happen if it's caught up...?"
"This monster's mouth is disgusting. There is no combat demonstration in the game. You can only hold a knife. But the producer said there is a weapon system, so there will definitely be a combat system. I just don't know if I can defeat these monsters. After all, it looks like It’s so permeable…”
"Watching this chase was so thrilling, I would have died on the spot..."
"Big map, with NPCs, and side missions. Wocao, is this an RPG!? A horror RPG game!? The only game that can be an RPG!? I'm shocked!"
"Have you ever played "Dark Forest" upstairs?"
"This map looks so depressing. It's so small and narrow. I'm really afraid of encountering monsters in this corridor. I can only turn around and run. I hope I have something to defend myself, preferably a gun or something."
"Come on! I'm looking forward to this game. I hope the plot can be simpler. I'm still confused after finishing "Face"."
In addition to these comments, more players are discussing the conversation between the two doctors in the video.
"What does the number D-5671 mean? You can see from the protagonist's mobile phone that someone seems to be reminding him of something, but I really can't understand it."
"+1 upstairs, the game hasn't been released yet and has not been officially played, so no one probably knows what it means."
"The name of the game is "Sky Mountain", but the text message on the phone said that Sky Mountain does not exist, the protagonist does not exist, and there is a D-5 or something behind it, which should be the later D-5671."
"Is the protagonist's name D-5671? Impossible? This is a horror game. I'm more inclined to believe that the text messages on this phone are fake."
"Who said that the mobile phone must belong to the protagonist? Maybe there is actually D-5671 in the game."
"I am more inclined to think that D-5671 is the protagonist, or in other words, the protagonist's previous number. Didn't you notice? The dialogue between the two doctors was in the same form of memories, and it was from the perspective of the protagonist. appears, so the protagonist is likely to have another identity."
"The conversation between the two doctors is really scary. If the protagonist is really D-5671, then judging from the subsequent video, they used the protagonist for human experiments! And this experiment is simply beyond my understanding."
"Indeed, D-5671, does it mean that the protagonist is the D-level experimental subject No. 5671? Are there 5672 and 5673 below? After all, there is D-9931, so conservatively estimate that there are tens of thousands of D-level experimental subjects. If you expand your imagination, are there C-level, B-level, or even A-level experimental subjects? If there are tens of thousands of people in D-level, then are there tens of thousands of people in every letter level above? The amount of information in this game is huge..."
Regarding the mysterious conversation between the two doctors in the demonstration, a columnist on Bihu.com published an article to analyze it.
Then he said that the background of the game may not be simple.
The following is his analysis:
'I watched this video demonstration several times and made a rough guess. I may be wrong. After all, the game has not been released yet. Please forgive me. '
'I personally think D-5671 is the protagonist. The text message on the phone should be from his friend or someone else who knows the truth. It can be guessed from the demonstration that the protagonist has been subjected to an experiment, and it is an experiment similar to the evolution of life. '
'Because Dr. No. 2 mentioned a helmet. He said that this helmet is very dangerous and has reached the point where it needs to be monitored 24 hours a day. From this, we can conclude that this must be a mysterious organization. As for whether it is the FBC FBI that everyone has been rumored about, it remains to be discussed. '
'Continuing to talk about helmets, Doctor No. 2 also gave an example later. What kind of lizard got into the helmet and stayed there for a week and came out as 682. We still don’t know what 682 is or what this number represents, but judging from the tone of the warning, it is obvious that this 682 is very dangerous! So much so that they started to prevent the second one! '
'Then, as can be seen from the lines of the Doctor's words. The function of this helmet is to allow life to evolve! Doctor No. 1 said that D-9931 woke up for the fifth time. Note that he used the word "awake", not "awake" or "wake up". As mentioned before, D-9931 was an experiment conducted while awake, and the coma of the protagonist was specifically used for comparison. Therefore, it is a bold guess that this so-called experiment is to test this helmet that can allow life to evolve! '
'However, the exact workings of the helmet are unclear, but it is certain that it does not cause people to fall asleep or become comatose. Because if that were the case, it wouldn’t be called a waking state. So no one knows what state this helmet will put people into. Only by playing the game will you know. '
'D-9931 put on the helmet while awake, and during the fifth experiment, he entered a mysterious state and spent more than two thousand years in it. As a result, the level of life has evolved, and the appearance no longer resembles that of humans. It also has the identity of a diplomat of the Interstellar Alliance and has mastered a lot of advanced knowledge and alien languages. '
'So, I personally think this helmet creates a false world, and the flow of time is different from the real world. Referring to the lizard above that turned into 682 after staying for a week, I roughly guessed the time. A thousand years in the helmet world, could be one day in the real world? Or shorter? '
'In short, the helmet brought D-9931's consciousness into this false world that was suspected to be a science fiction interstellar and began to live in it. Then, because it was so realistic, D-9931's waking brain in reality thought that everything was real. Therefore, the body follows the movement of consciousness. Over the past two thousand years, the body has evolved into a non-human shape in a short period of time. Moreover, the alien language and advanced knowledge that consciousness learned in the false world are all real. '
'So, after the fifth experiment, D-9931 couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction, and told the doctor nonsense about wanting to meet the president of the planet. '
'This is actually understandable. After all, he has lived in the false world for more than two thousand years, and the real world may not have completed 50 years. Moreover, in the real world, he is just an experimental subject without dignity, but in the fake world, he is a diplomat who can meet the president of the planet. After his experiment is over, which one do you think is fake? This is really scary the more you think about it. '
'I have thought about it for a long time. The dialogue between the doctors is in the form of memories, so it represents the past tense. The protagonist has experienced the experiment of life evolution. After returning to reality, I suspected that he might have sequelae. After all, he conducted the experiment while in a coma, so there might be some contradiction with the awake state. In short, something went wrong with him. '
'Combined with the game map are places like hotels and apartments, and 100 floors full of monsters. So I personally think that the protagonist should have gone wrong in the experiment back then, and now he is caught between falsehood and reality, causing him to see different false worlds. This is why there is a small camera-like prop in the video. The protagonist needs to use it to observe creatures in other worlds and avoid being killed by creatures in the false world. '
'The above is just my personal guess. Specifically, you need to enter the game to know. Of course, I believe that producer Shuo Guang will not make such a game where people can easily guess the plot. '
'So, stay tuned. '
The amount of information in this analysis is so explosive that it is difficult for onlookers to find fault. After all, the game has not been released yet, so what if someone guesses it right?
Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish between true and false.
This analysis article was wildly reprinted by major game information websites.
As a result, the video of the actual machine demonstration became even more popular!
Therefore, with the full praise from players, the marketing account smelled a business opportunity.
They began to download the video, then added the BGM and AI commentary that they had heard bad, and then submitted it to other video websites to select and make their own videos for discussion.
Not long after, videos of this type appeared on many video websites.
Moreover, the marketing explanation of each video is different, and the watermarks in the upper right corner are stacked one after another, and they are all blurred!
Therefore, "Sky Mountain" can be regarded as the first example of a game that has become popular before it is released.
But in addition to this article, players also noticed the unprecedented creativity in the actual machine demonstration.
Lenses to see ghosts!
Earlier, before "Sky Mountain" was announced.
Many people say that "Face" and "Dark Forest" may be the ceiling in horror games.
The horror techniques and creativity, as well as the atmosphere creation and rendering, are all top-notch.
It can even be used as a game template for subsequent manufacturers to learn and refer to.
Players are even a little worried, what should they do if horror games become homogenized in the future?
Therefore, innovation has become a headache for major manufacturers.
This is why players are looking forward to it after "Bloody Scientist" announced the innovation of 'horror + shooting'.
Because new gameplay and new mechanisms are needed to keep them interested in horror games.
Instead of changing the story like FPS, it suddenly reaches the ending.
However, after players saw the mirrors in "Sky Mountain" looking for ghosts, the so-called innovation of the game became scum!
When the protagonist in the live demonstration heard the strange crying, he did not panic and run around, but showed enough calmness and composure.
Then, he took out a camera-like thing that the players who were watching the video online had never thought of or even seen before.
Then, through this small prop, an effect was shown that shocked the players!
By switching the colored lenses of the camera, you can find the location of the ghost and then escape.
This makes the game very playable!
And it is a survival and exploration gameplay, so adding this prop makes the game more exciting!
For players who have cleared "Face", this is something new!
"I think this small camera should be a key prop. After all, if you can see ghosts with it, it means that this thing is not simple."
"Didn't you read the analysis article? This prop is used by the protagonist to observe other worlds and avoid danger."
"I made a picture. According to the principle of symmetry, there are 14 lenses in total. This means that if you encounter a ghost, you have to find it among the 14 lenses before the ghost gets close."
"This prop is not simple... You can see 14 false worlds... Counting the protagonist's world, there are 15 worlds... Such a small prop has such a big effect... The protagonist thought If you want to survive, you have to look at other worlds through this little camera, and then locate the monsters. Awesome... awesome! This is simply an unprecedented idea!"
"Don't forget upstairs, there are ghosts in the world where the protagonist is, just like the mummy. But this setting is really awesome, giving the ghosts an erratic feeling. As mentioned upstairs, 14 spaces , does that mean that there are all kinds of monsters inside? Currently, the actual demonstration only shows a mummy, a little girl walking backwards, and a fat man with a chainsaw with a rotten face. I am really looking forward to the monsters in the future."
"You're awesome. You're really looking forward to it. This live demonstration scared my teeth. I hope this game won't be as scary as "Face". It's best to have some NPCs to accompany me to make me feel more comfortable."
Therefore, in this atmosphere, players began to look forward to it.
This idea of seeing ghosts through lenses also began to spread, and many players began to over-interpret it.
For example, a well-known UP owner began to make random settings on Danmaku.com to attract attention.
What, the background of the game may be space collapse, dimensional invasion, 14 worlds overlap with the protagonist's world, and the world is in crisis.
Many players saw it and scoffed.
However, because the video has a very good reason, a group of players chose to believe it.
Therefore, the world view and background setting of the game began to gradually go wrong...
Many players even went to Danmaku.com to privately chat with producer Shuo Guang to verify the facts.
However, there was no response, which made people wonder, is this really the case?
As time goes by, the popularity of the game remains high, and people often discuss it.
Then, a week later, new news came out again about "Sky Mountain".
Shuoguang, the only gamer, posted an update.
The content of this dynamic immediately shocked the players on the spot.
