"At 8:00 PM on August 8th, according to the Huaxia Time, the highly anticipated holographic online game "Eternal" will be launched under the gaze of the public. The game development department has estimated that at least three billion people globally will enter the game at that time, potentially creating the highest online player numbers since the emergence of holographic online games. At the same time, numerous famous players, game studios, and gaming companies from around the world will also join in at the first opportunity..."
After finishing the last bite of noodles and taking a sip of soup, Su Yu wiped his mouth with a napkin and muttered, "Old-fashioned way of advertising!"
But I have to admit, in many cases, the aggressive and chaotic advertising approach is extremely effective for the general public.
Anyway, in the past six months, Su Yu has heard so much about "Eternal" that his ears are almost calloused.
Especially three months ago, when the developer of "Eternal", Galaxy Technology, announced that the game would officially launch on August 8th, the related news was overwhelming. Under this intense bombardment, even a three-year-old could say the word "Eternal".
"Games, in the end, are just a few gameplay styles. After so many years of development, they have become mature, and the patterns are generally fixed. Even if there are innovations, they are only partial at most. It is mainly due to the advancement of technology, the content is more diverse, and the gameplay is more comprehensive. Anything more than that, is just unnecessary."
Su Yu shook his head, got up and settled the bill, then walked out of the noodle shop.
It is now the year 2166.
Over a hundred years ago, the emergence of the Internet ushered in a new era for humanity. As the Internet gradually developed and matured, the related industries flourished, and virtual online games became one of the important industries among many related to the Internet.
As early as the emergence of the Internet, online games have appeared and become increasingly popular, becoming one of the main ways for people to leisure and entertain themselves. With over a hundred years of development, online games have matured, and the full-immersion online games that people were expecting many years ago were successfully developed ten years ago.
As the first company to develop a holographic online game, Galaxy Technology from China has become the industry leader with its global first holographic online game "Epoch". From an unknown game development company, it has captured the majority of the online game market and has become an undisputed giant with influence reaching all corners of the industry.
Over the course of ten years, "Epoch" has gradually dominated the entire online gaming market with its unique advantages. In the end, it has become nearly impossible for other game development companies to survive.
Three years ago, many game companies that could not continue to survive in the shadow of Galaxy Technology jointly wrote to the United Nations, demanding that Galaxy Technology give the world's online gaming market an explanation.
After the secret coordination of several major gangsters, Galaxy Technology accepted investment from various major game development companies around the world, and jointly developed a new holographic online game, which is the upcoming game "Era".
"It doesn't feel very meaningful, apart from the higher virtual level, richer content, and broader inclusiveness, compared to the era, there haven't been many changes in the big picture in "Eternal", it's still the familiar worldview, still the familiar professions, and even many of the professional skills are inherited from the "era", for me, there really isn't much surprise."
After going out, Su Yu looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and then glanced at the nearby intersection. On the huge billboard, the eye-catching "Eternal" promotional image made him feel nauseous.
Today is already August 5th, and the game will be launched in just three days, but Su Yu has no intention of playing.
Three months ago, with the announcement of the specific launch time by Galaxy Technology, the gaming headsets and gaming pods for entering the game began to be sold. As of today, more than 500 million sets have been sold globally, but Su Yu has not made any contribution to this huge number.
Under the scorching sun, Su Yu walked back to his residence after four or five minutes.
This is a small community in the University City of Jiangnan City, with Jiangnan University nearby. Su Yu came here to study a year ago and bought a 200-square-meter suite because of the quiet environment. He then moved out of the school dormitory and has been living here ever since.
After taking a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and taking a sip, Su Yu sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.
"... 'Eternal' is developed by Galaxy Technology, gathering the elites of the global game development industry, and carefully creating a product. According to the players who participated in the internal test, this game is said to be perfect in all aspects. Compared to 'Epoch', it not only has a higher virtual degree and more diverse gameplay, but also has more casual freedom in terms of gameplay."
It is worth mentioning that the task system and worldline progress in "Eternal" are mostly evolved by supercomputers, and the design staff only do supplementary work. This means that the various tasks in "Eternal" will be diverse, and the results and rewards are no longer fixed as before..."
苏宇皱着眉头换了个台。
“……我们在采访了数位有幸参加了《永恒》内测的玩家之后得知,《永恒》中万家的战斗将更加流畅自由,在战斗判定中加入了诸多元素,这意味着《永恒》中的战斗,不再是以往游戏中人物属性数值和装备优劣决定胜负,玩家的操作在其中的作用,将大幅度提高……”
Pa!
Su Yu turned off the TV.
"Is it ever going to end?"
Su Yu frowned and looked displeased, "The internet is full of 'Eternal', that's fine, but now even the TV has succumbed to it? Can't you consider the feelings of people who don't play games?"
Su Yuxin was feeling agitated and was about to go back to the bedroom to lie down, when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
Walnut?
Looking at the caller ID, Su Yuxin was stunned for a while, hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.
"Shen Yin, how is it? The time for the opening of 'Eternal' is only three days away. Are you ready?"
Familiar voices came, and that distant title made Su Yu feel a little trance-like.
If a player of "The Era" hears this name, they will surely be stunned and then frightened.
During the ten years since "The Era" launched, countless shining players have emerged, some like stars, always hanging high on the rankings and never falling, while others like comets, emitting dazzling light, but quickly disappearing without a trace.
Shenyin, is the most dazzling comet in "Era" over the past ten years!
In the eighth year of the Era's launch, when the game was already quite mature and the top players remained unchanged, a rogue player named "Shenyin" suddenly appeared. His first appearance was when he completed the epic storyline quest in "Era" alone, and he was announced to the whole server by the system, instantly becoming famous throughout the world!
After that, he challenged all the top players on the leaderboard single-handedly, with no losses, and became the most dazzling star in "Era" for a while, ranking third on the combat power ranking list.
In the limelight, he challenged the top two in the combat power rankings, with one win and one draw, shocking the world and becoming the object of competition for various major factions.
Later, he discreetly joined the largest faction in China, "Eve of Dawn". Half a year later, he led more than ten top players of Eve of Dawn to break away from the faction and set up the gang "Twilight", since then being at odds with Eve of Dawn.
Three months later, the leader of "God Hidden" and "Before Dawn" factions, "Kill the World", had a peak duel, easily defeating him. "God Hidden" then disbanded "Twilight" and disappeared from the "Epoch" from then on.
It has been a year since the enmity between Shen Yin and Sha Tianxia, but the grudges and love-hate relationship between them are still the subject of countless discussions. The specific grievances between the two of them have also become the most sought-after mystery for players.
