As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.
wtf! ?
Is there a rating for "Dark Forest"?
When did grandma drop it? ?
It was so sudden, we were not even mentally prepared!
Faced with this sudden news, although the players were caught off guard, they did not have any dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, I was still a little excited.
Now that the "Bloody Scientist" incident has not subsided, this news about "Dark Forest" is undoubtedly a good medicine for players to calm down their anger!
You know, the status of the game "Dark Forest" in the hearts of players is incomparable.
For them, it is a feeling, a love, and a milestone work that promotes the horror genre.
】
Now that the VR version has been released, with such emotional support, true fans have even shouted slogans about who can compete with him.
You can see how much he loves it!
Thinking of this, players flocked to the Fourth Natural Disaster Club.
Because they know that as the largest player community in the country, once there is any game information, it will either be first released or forwarded quickly without any leakage.
So whenever there is a big event in the game, it is definitely a good idea to go to the Fourth Natural Disaster Club.
And in fact, it is indeed the case.
The most eye-catching position on the home page is the latest hot posts posted by the website editor.
The title is long and catchy.
【Great news! "Dark Forest: VR" has a CA rating of 9.8! It claims to satisfy all your imaginable fear experiences! 】
Wow——
9.8 points?
wtf!
The same score as "Sky Mountain"!
Although it is not a perfect 10 points, the score of 9.8 has proved the high quality of "Dark Forest: VR".
Moreover, the previous game "Control Failure" already scored 10 points. It is impossible to get full marks every time, right?
9.8 is awesome!
There is also this title that makes players feel in awe.
Look at this sentence.
'Satisfying every fear imaginable? '
To be honest, if this sentence was placed a year ago, I am afraid everyone would sneer at it.
But now, after experiencing several horror games, no one will question the authenticity of this sentence.
Especially when I watched the video of the actual demonstration of "Dark Forest: VR" some time ago. The weird banshee, the non-existent refugee, and the horrifying note all made everyone believe it. suspect!
As a result, the excited players couldn't wait to click on the post to see what the media said.
The content on the first floor is naturally the words of the editor of The Fourth Natural Disaster:
Bros! Come out after thousands of calls!
Our 'first' horror game finally gets a VR remake!
How many people have repeatedly cleared the PC version, and how many people are lamenting in the forum that there is no VR version?
Now, it's coming, it's coming!
It comes with a VR high-definition remake!
On July 21, 2023, the scores of dozens of media including CA and JM were announced one after another, and each of them scored extremely high.
I still say the same thing, 'Look to the media for high scores, and trust yourself for low scores. '
Any game, only the one that suits you is the most important.
Below are the ratings of each media, please look at them rationally.
...
After reading the website editor's nonsense, the players couldn't wait to scroll their mouse and came to the rating picture.
The first one is of course the CA that everyone is quite familiar with.
I recall that back then, this evaluation agency from America gave "Control Failure" an ultra-low score of 5.9 due to an "intern rating" incident.
Now this time it is 9.8. It seems that he has corrected his attitude, or maybe Shuo Guang has received the money.
But this has nothing to do with the players. Now I mainly want to see what CA thinks about "Dark Forest: VR".
The mouse was pulled down again, and the players finally saw the main content this time.
advantage:
+Real picture quality.
+ A huge map full of dangers.
+Invulnerable night mechanics.
+Wonderful random events.
+The story of the document is extremely scary to think about.
+Despairing forest atmosphere.
shortcoming:
-Too much freedom, often not knowing what to do.
-The task guidance is average, and it is difficult to judge whether to proceed or not.
-The decryption is too esoteric and should be more humane
-Many small details are difficult to find
-Easy to get lost
Rating: 9.8 (excellent)
——
Seeing this, the players were happy.
Let’s not talk about whether the game is fun or not. The six major advantages alone are enough to attract people.
An unpredictable night mechanism?
Wonderful random events?
These two alone are very satisfying!
Think about the random events in "Sky Mountain" and "Control Failure". Which one doesn't have excellent motion capture performance and story development?
Now in this large strange and dangerous forest, the quality of the plot of random events will be even higher!
I remember that Shuoguang said on Danmaku.com that "Dark Forest: VR" is based on retaining everything from the original version, while adding a lot of new content that everyone will never get tired of playing.
Now, based on the quality of this 9.8 points, it seems that it really does what it says!
The players were in a happy mood and looked at ca's short-word review.
Simply put, it means:
'This is a spooky forest full of charm. '
'It's also a game that fills me with both anticipation and fear. '
'I have imagined various crises that may occur in the forest, but this game has exceeded my imagination time and time again, shocking and surprising me. '
'The powerful VR technology makes the entire forest look indistinguishable from reality, whether it is trees or grass, even mud and mosquitoes, making people feel like they have entered the world of a game. '
'Especially the thick fog in the early morning and the dusk in the evening, which gave the already dark forest a very scary atmosphere, making people afraid to walk around at all. '
'I was so frightened that I yelled more than once during the review, and my colleagues all laughed at me for being too old to be scared. And when I asked them to experience it, their reaction was the same as mine, they screamed in fear. '
'I'm certain that this game will be more terrifying than anything else in the past, including the company's own past games. '
'Although it has some shortcomings, the rich game content can completely cover up these flaws, making people addicted to it and forgetting time. '
'Of course, I'm talking about the bold, not the timid, including me. '
'This is a qualified horror game! '
...
I lost it!
After reading what the ca reviewer said, the players stared blankly.
Damn...
Is that an exaggeration?
Is the level of horror in "Dark Forest: VR" so high?
Even the CA reviewers screamed in fear...
It seems that Shuoguang is well prepared this time. "Dark Forest: VR" is not just a remake. Is this going to scare players around the world?
Netizens who read the post swallowed their saliva and began to silently take a shot in their hearts...
Now, after ca's evaluation, the other media below are almost the same.
Especially JM, who is on par with CA, also gave a very high evaluation.
advantage:
+It has very exciting mission plot and performance effects.
+ The operation under VR experience is very smooth and there is no delay or lag.
+Interactions with NPCs are full of weirdness.
+Shocking and terrifying 'naming' mechanism.
+The vast forest map makes people worry about what is behind them at all times.
+Very addictive random encounters.
+ Buildings and environments full of horror.
+Each ranged weapon obtained will go through a plot event.
shortcoming:
- Melee weapons are too easily damaged.
- Bullets for ranged weapons are too scarce.
-The shapes of some monsters are disturbing to the senses.
-Day and night alternate too quickly, resulting in insufficient defensive resources at night.
-Easy to get lost
Rating: 9.9 (excellent)

Okay, after seeing jm's evaluation of the pros and cons, the players have a better understanding of the game.
First, the random mission events are definitely fun, second, the forest is scary, and finally, the weapons break easily.
Well, this is the same as the original.
In the original version, the weapons were ineffective, and this is still the case in the VR version.
Fortunately, players are already used to it.
I just don't know what will happen to the NPCs such as 'Mrs. Pretty', 'Snail Man', and 'Elephant Man' in the original version, and whether I can look directly at them.
Especially the 'Mrs. Pretty' with a swollen body and slender limbs, many players' eyes widened when they first met her in the original version.
The players in front of the screen took a deep breath and then scrolled down.
The short-word comments of the jm reviewer are similar to those of the ca, which are fun, scary, scary and so on.
Further down, there are other media ratings.
po: 9.8 points
Comments: The game's 'naming' mechanism is surprising, making the game more uncertain and weird.
kl: 9.7 points
Comments: Excellent work as always, the gameplay mechanism of scavenging during the day and defending at night is very interesting.
uc: 9.4 points
ga: 9.2 points
sb: The score has not been released.
...
As soon as the ratings of "Dark Forest: VR" came out, it quickly swept the entire Internet.
Danmaku.com, Bihu, vBo and other platforms all have hot topics for people to discuss.
For this reason, the actual demonstration video of "Dark Forest: VR" once again exploded in data and became the 40th most popular on Danmaku.com.
At the same time, some people even went to Shuoguang News to inquire about the specific release date of the game.
There are even private messages.
However, what I never expected was.
Shuoguang actually replied for the first time!
And it’s a very simple sentence that can make people crazy!
'At 8 pm on July 25, 2023, "Dark Forest: VR" will hold a pre-sale preview event as before. '
The players were stunned.
Shuoguang's response to the message was already incredible.
And what did he say...?
2023.7.25...?
I'm super...
Isn't that...
4 days later at 8pm! ?
