9 pm.
A lively sand sculpture game group suddenly became extremely cold and silent an hour ago.
Originally, this game group could reach 99+ every half hour.
The male group members inside have mouths like machine guns. They can talk about everything from pornography, gambling, politics, childbirth, mother-infant blind dates, etc., and they are very high-spirited.
Except games.
But tonight, everyone seemed a little uncharacteristic.
Senior group friend A:
"Holy crap! You guys are talking! Why aren't you talking now! What kind of money are you making on Saturday at night?"
"You guys are talking! I'm so scared, so scared that you guys will make money again. Seeing you making money is even more uncomfortable than me losing money."
"Please don't make any more money! Chen Bu Mu Cao! It's almost enough to spend!"
ten minutes later.
Senior group friend A:
"Damn it, why is there no one!? I haven't watched the group for a day, so why am I out of touch with the world? Let's talk!"
Thirty minutes later.
Senior group friend A:
"@Group Leader, did you create a new group without me in it (smiling face)?"
The next second.
Some sand sculpture group friends:
"@Group Leader, did you create a new group without me in it (smiling face)?"
"@Group Leader, did you create a new group without me in it (smiling face)?"
"@Group Leader, did you create a new group without me in it (smiling face)?"
x14
Distinguished group leader:
"Damn it, you are a 3G user, but you are still a veteran in the group. Everyone wears VR to play and the control fails, how can you read the news?"
Senior group friend A:
"Zhuo? Is this game unlocked? Why didn't I know?"
Distinguished group leader:
'Tianyi 3G is so fast.jpg'
A few minutes later.
Senior group friend A:
"298 yuan is the same price as "Sky Mountain". It's not bad, it's acceptable."
"Why didn't you play? You're not weak, are you?"
Distinguished group leader:
"Your group leader is so cowardly and cowardly, are you weak? Let me tell you, being cowardly is also cowardly! Stop talking nonsense and get on board!"
Saturday, 9:55pm.
At this moment, it is a crazy night for the Chinese player circle.
On major live streaming platforms, after a day of whetting their appetites, the moment the game was unlocked, there was a cruel impulse to buy.
Countless middle and low-level anchors have tasted the benefits of broadcasting horror games before. Almost without hesitation, he regarded "Control Failure" as his hope of becoming famous and making money tonight.
One of the anchors named Chocolate is like this.
Originally, there were only a few hundred fans of the MOBA game.
Since the broadcast of "The Face", she has tens of thousands of fans, and she has learned how to please her fans and how to live.
Subsequently, "Dark Forest", "Blackjack", and "Sky Mountain" were broadcast continuously, and the number of fans has reached 460,000.
The more popular you are, the more good things will happen.
First, her income from live broadcasts increased, then advertisers gradually came to her door, and then some companies wanted to invite her to join.
Chocolat decided tonight after experiencing the benefits of live streaming horror games. In the next few days, through "Control Failure", the number of fans will exceed 500,000!
For this purpose, she prepared cooling candies, throat lozenges, watermelon cream and other things to care for the throat...
The game is unlocked though.
But given that it was getting late, some players who were home alone were too timid to play.
There are also some people who are temporarily waiting to see, considering their courage and thinking about it, they plan to watch the live broadcast first and then consider whether to buy it.
As a result, I was in shock along with the anchor. When watching the live broadcast on the bed, my hands and feet did not dare to stretch out from the quilt...
This shows how scary the game is!
In addition, this time the cyber platform did not have the same server crash problem as in "Sky Mountain".
Because they saw the huge commercial appeal of VR horror games, they upgraded the servers two months before the game was released.
Players will no longer be unable to download and purchase as before.
Although the game was scheduled to be unlocked at 8:30 pm, no player complained about this.
It’s not that everyone has no objections, but that everyone is used to it.
A long time ago, everyone was dissatisfied with why the unlocking time of the game was set so late. So they all approached Shuoguang and reported this problem.
But it was useless, and Shuoguang's usual "cannot read back" became the norm.
Maybe you didn’t even read the private message or reply!
In short, since the beginning of "Face", 8:30 pm has become the only game's ancestral unlock time.
I don’t know if I believe in the prime-time story...
But despite this, even if it was getting late, most of the brave players still had a great time playing.
And when playing VR horror games close to 11pm, the sense of immersion and atmosphere becomes even more intense and exciting!
Before I knew it, it was 0:00 in the morning.
Then it's 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock in the morning.
Fortunately, the game was unlocked on Saturday night, so the next day was also the weekend, so I didn’t have to go to work or go to school.
Therefore, most players choose to stay up all night.
Others who went to bed began to watch live broadcasts, browse game consultation websites, game community apps, etc.
You won’t know the result if you don’t swipe it, but once you swipe it, at 3 o’clock in the morning, there are countless discussions and questions about “Control Failure”!
For example, in the special area of the Fourth Natural Disaster Club, there were people chatting enthusiastically in various threads.
One of the posts, [The 'Guo Shi' I named actually became a gun in the game! 】And the reply was quite high.
Netizens below also typed words one after another.
'I saw this gun too, and you actually gave it the name! ? '
'This production team can actually add player-named names to the game
'I also found out that the person I named 'Xiaoqiang' is actually a security agent! Ha ha ha ha'.
"This gun is rubbish."
…
In addition to this post, there are also a lot of players talking about the game content.
"I just started playing Tumama. As soon as I went out and saw that face on the monitor screen, I was scared. It's so cheating! Why should I play this kind of game!!!"
"The other day, when I went out and saw Agent U or something in danger, I thought it was a random incident and asked me to save someone. But then I ran over and got shot???"
"Guys! Can anyone tell me if there is any hidden bad luck in this game!? Damn it! As soon as I got rid of the human statue, I encountered a monster covered in pitch black and dripping water everywhere. I ran After entering a passage, I met a tall monster walking around with his face covered. I was so scared that I hid in a room, and I also ran into a tall and big monster that looked like a chicken. I blanch it!"
"Is that humanoid statue at the beginning of the game always wandering around the facility? Mad, I've encountered it three times! My sanity is almost gone."
"Where is the control room that can process equipment? I want to process my rifle."
"That statue monster is only as difficult as in the game. In reality, I would just turn a blind eye or close one eye while riding a horse! Hey, it's just for fun."
"Oh my god! Am I the only one who is lost?"
In addition to these discussions, there are also some current players who are asking for help.
[Is there anyone with modifiers? ? It’s so numb]
[How many anomalies have you encountered in total? What are some ways to deal with it? 】
[The dog said, he was beaten to death by a security guard. Do I still have to guard against humans in this game? ? All control has failed, and they are still not united. Depend on! 】
[I feel numb, I emptied 3 magazines, and found that the humanoid statue at the beginning cannot be killed at all! What should I do, can I just sneak and hide? 】
[Has anyone been to the control room of the Phantom Helmet? I can't find it no matter how I look for it. If you have trouble finding it, please take a screenshot for instructions. 】
[Guidelines for finding pocket space! Urgent request! The child can't get out, there are so many things happening at any time inside, the child is scared to death! 】
…
For players, the newly unlocked "Control Failure" is full of treasures, but also full of unknowns.
The extremely high popularity of this game caused constant topics and heated discussions within a few hours of its release.
However, among them, there are still some players who are curiously discussing the future PVP mode.
"I'm really looking forward to the PVP mode being released by the production team. I can't wait! It's so fun! I really want to play online!"
"Personally, I'm not optimistic about the PVP mode, because this game is really too difficult. The anomalies are ridiculously strong, and the humans are like paper dolls that break when touched. It's not balanced at all. I really don't know how to play on the human side in PVP. .”
"Plus upstairs, I think it's still possible for the production team to introduce a PVE mode, because we fight anomalies online. But PVP is beyond my understanding. Once the player plays an anomaly, the player playing the human role basically doesn't have to play. I said!"
"Don't be so absolute. The production team must have considered balance, otherwise they wouldn't have vowed to launch a PVP mode. Is this the only game that hasn't been overturned yet? It deserves trust."
"I'm afraid it will overturn this time! I really like this game. But it's too late and I don't dare to play it. I just wait for the PVP to join everyone online. If it overturns, the reputation of this unique game will definitely drop."
"As long as PVP allows me to play the role of 0173 humanoid statue, that's awesome. I don't care about anything else, I just want to kill people."
There are countless discussions like this, and they are also heated abroad.
These phenomena among players are enough to prove their love for the game.
So, it's Sunday.
During this nationally mandated rest day, the number of global online users on the cyber platform "Control Failure" actually reached 2.57 million! !
The real pinnacle!
There is a gap of 100 million yuan between it and the second place "Secret Agent".
Since it was daytime, the number of players was several times greater than at night, and there were more and more interesting game-related posts on various social platforms than at night!
For example, a topic post is: [Games are more than just parallel worlds! I actually found a gas mask that can go to the monster world! ] and aroused heated discussion.
As we all know, those who have watched the live broadcast know that in the early main storyline, they will go to the parallel world to investigate the cause of the apocalypse there.
Then there will be a three-stage BOSS battle involving pursuit, avoidance, and terrain killing.
A-FBC-1000 'Bigfoot' will eventually be smashed into the deep sea by the protagonist using the huge boulder from the collapsed facility.
Therefore, everyone thought that what the production team called a "large game" at the time meant a large map, rich events, high degree of freedom, perfect mechanisms, and the setting of parallel worlds and pocket spaces.
After all, no one can refuse the wonderful charm that there are other worlds in the game that can be truly explored.
It's like a change of taste and enjoying other maps besides the main map.
But now you tell me there is a world besides parallel worlds and pocket spaces? A world full of monsters?
As a result, a large number of players clicked into the post and wanted to find out.
Then they saw what the so-called monster world was like.
Through the original words of the original poster, I learned that he encountered an NPC who was seriously injured and about to die in a random mission.
Through the conversation with the NPC, we learned that he had previously used a gas mask to avoid attacks from various anomalies.
And this gas mask will transport the person wearing it to a strange world full of twisted monsters and black buildings.
There, he was attacked by a monster and seriously injured. After taking off his mask, he returned to his original world.
But he also lost too much blood and was close to death.
Out of curiosity, the poster picked up the mask from the NPC and put it on.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a stone house.
Inside, there were many strange humanoid creatures performing rituals that caused his three values to plummet.
Outside, there are a large number of identical entities.
After the original poster finished speaking, he posted several screenshots of his game.
Netizens who read the post immediately saw what the so-called monster world is like.
It was a hazy, hazy sky that blocked out the sun.
The world is shrouded in a blood-red environment, suffocating, depressing and uncomfortable.
In the screenshot, wherever you look, you can see countless strange black buildings standing tall like a city, which is full of weirdness.
Around it, there were countless naked humanoid entities with distorted faces.
And the last screenshot shows the group of wandering monsters, all staring at this side...
Netizens looked horrified when they saw this.
As the title says, this is a world of monsters!
Unexpectedly, the production team actually packed more than one world into the game!
So far, what players know is the parallel world and the unimaginably huge pocket space.
Now including this seemingly huge monster world, there are almost three huge maps!
I wonder if there are any random events in this monster world, which is really curious.
To be honest, if this was sold as DLC, I would probably make a lot of money.
But the production team just happened to be integrated into one game, it’s really the Angel Production Team!
Other manufacturers have already torn it apart and sold it as DLC!
However, the content of this post has not yet been digested by players. Half a day later, another jaw-dropping game revelation came out.
One topic post is: [Horror Skull! I actually experienced the cruelty of World War II firsthand! 】
Netizens were shocked when they saw this.
Horror skull?
World War II?
Wrong day! What the hell! ?
As a result, a large number of netizens clicked in.
Suddenly, they were shocked.
To put it simply, according to the original poster, he discovered the control room of Z-FBC-1123's 'Cruel Skull'.
There is an item anomaly inside. As long as you touch it, you will be transported to various war periods in history. From the identity and perspective of ordinary people, you can experience what happened to them in the last 30 minutes before their death in that environment.
The author's first contact was when he was transported to a small village during World War II.
There, he became an ordinary country woman.
Then he discovered that this small village was actually a big map, and he could move around freely and talk to people.
And the NPC villagers inside are doing their own things and look very alive.
Not only that, the ordinary woman she played actually had mission instructions, and she had to take care of the crops and let her two young children go home!
Since it was his first time here, the poster started to play out of curiosity. The next 30 minutes were a process for him from curiosity to shock to silence.
Heavy rain started, and two fighter planes with propellers on their noses roared past the sky. Drop a bomb and explode.
From the identity and perspective of this ordinary woman, he witnessed his two young children explode high in the fire and then fall heavily in the small village.
They died under the heavy rain on the muddy road, with no body parts intact.
Then, based on real-time calculations, the ordinary woman walked to the muddy road in a daze and stiffness, and picked up the child's broken body from the mud.
The poster said that the woman was just choking. Although she didn't cry, as the person who played her, she could feel the huge grief in the NPC's heart from the choked back.
It wasn't until the bomb fell near her that she returned to the Panopticon - Site 19 with a black eye.
The play is over.
After netizens read the poster’s experience, they saw several screenshots at the bottom of the post that looked like they were there.
Seeing the flowers and trees inside, many netizens expressed disbelief.
No way.
This game has too much content, right?
I thought it would be awesome to have three extra large extra maps: Parallel World, Pocket Space, and Monster World.
did not expect.
There are actually other big maps!
Judging from the first three screenshots, in this large map, although the villages are simple, the folk customs look very simple.
There are mountains, water, and blue sky and white clouds.
So true!
The close-ups of various villagers, the environment, and the objects are all very detailed.
But the next few screenshots are hard to look at directly.
Because the sky was full of fire, thick smoke was rising into the sky, and all kinds of corpses were scattered on the ground.
The blood mixed with mud looked dirty.
Two extreme contrasts with the previous scenery.
The production team is awesome!
It’s incredible!
There are actually additional game maps and stories, it is indeed a 'big game'!
The content of the game is simply explosive, which makes people not only shocked but also shocked!
The author of the post later told that the skull had a 1-hour CD, and after the CD ended, he touched the skull again.
This time, he came to an unknown concentration camp in history and became a 13-year-old boy.
The concentration camp map is large, realistic, and dark.
The author said that in just 30 minutes, through the eyes of a little boy, he witnessed the theft, beatings, food taking, humiliation, abuse, rejection, and ridicule in the concentration camp.
Then came starvation work and chaos among the prisoners.
Life is worthless here, and there are even several dried corpses hanging outside.
The host who became a little boy experienced the silence and separation of life and death in which his sister was forcibly abducted by the army and then thrown back as a cold corpse.
The little boy was finally killed on the spot at the cost of stabbing an officer to death, and the game returned to Site 19 from the chaotic concentration camp and ended.
Then, there are several screenshots of concentration camps.
Netizens' eyes widened when they saw it.
ox!
So cool!
Every country has had war periods in history, so how many such 'role-playing' maps have the production team made?
It’s amazing to think that players all thought the game only had 3 extra maps.
I didn't expect that one skull contains so many new maps, it's so exciting!
Large-scale game? With the support of these additional maps, "Control Failure" has already broken through this 'big'!
Therefore, with these exciting contents, players are completely addicted and unable to extricate themselves.
The time came to 10 a.m. on Monday, thanks to the super popularity of the game. Danmaku.com’s Shuoguang and VBo’s Infinite Entertainment announced the game’s first-day sales one after another.
This time, because the game’s promotion campaign is very large and the game content is sufficient.
Therefore, on the first day after it was unlocked, "Control Failure" was sold in dozens of countries around the world, including IGame's data.
2.79 million units!
Wow——
It’s simply a first-day number that shocked the world!
As soon as this data came out, all domestic game manufacturers fell silent.
Even several major foreign manufacturers only expressed a slight attitude and said a few congratulations, but their attitude was lukewarm.
Only H Club and C Club in Japan posted long posts on Twitter shouting congratulations and warm congratulations.
At this point, I am afraid that no one would have thought that the game "Control Failure" could actually surpass "Sky Mountain" with 1.44 million units on the first day!
As a result, no matter whether it was Infinite Entertainment, Meng Shu, or Xia Nianzhen and other employees who were waiting for dividends, they were all smiling without exception.
In particular, Infinite Entertainment, as a publisher, has put a lot of effort into promoting it globally.
Now seeing the rewards, just one day's rewards, made Mr. Liang slap his legs and laugh in the office.
The wrinkles on his face seem to be much lighter.
He said in his heart that Meng Shu was young and promising and was the most talented developer he had ever worked with in his life!
But some are happy and some are sad.
While Meng Shu was preparing for the celebration, Mr. An of Jiyou Network was sitting in the conference room with a livid face.
That expression was so ugly that it almost made people cry!
