There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Chapter 492 Continue!

"Sherlock Holmes" is on sale soon.

Related topics continue to grow in popularity.

Whether it is overseas or domestic.

After all, "Di Renjie" pearls and jades come first.

But this time the game, the name is straightforward, it has elements of detectives, and it is of the same type as "Di Renjie".

Two games of the same type... Players even thought that Linmu Studio was going to transform.

Of course, most of the players who think this way are overseas players.

Domestic players, who have recently been annoyed by that professor surnamed You, have not paid so much attention to the game.

Of course there are also trolls overseas. After the emergence of "political correctness" in the next few years, the environment is estimated to be even more exaggerated and worse...

It's just that the noise was not as fierce as in China.

After all, now Linmu Studio is an absolute benchmark in China, unlike other big factories overseas to help share the firepower.

The player's focus is relatively concentrated, and the resulting impact is also great.

but.

The game will not give up its announcement and release plan because of these off-site factors.

Announcement as usual.

The release date is also set for March 15th.

That is, every time Linmu Studio announces, the professor surnamed You will come out with a strange look.

Really annoying.

When domestic players see it now, they feel that their blood pressure is high.

As for overseas, better.

Faced with the work of "Sherlock Holmes", most of the players who played the previous work "Di Renjie" are very happy. After all, the barriers of cultural differences still exist. Although they also like "Di Renjie", facing a background The new game, which is more in line with his own culture, seems to be of the same type as Di Renjie, so of course he is happy.

for example.

... I played "Di Renjie" before, and I was very excited when I said that I like the anchor of the bikini.

March 15th.

"good afternoon."

The anchor named Xie Ge started the live broadcast. While saying hello, he flicked his bangs, put one leg on the chair, and then comfortably held the mouse.

He can also be regarded as the head anchor of the platform, because of his bad mouth, informality, and zoo-like atmosphere... He has always been popular.

So not long after he started the live broadcast, a group of viewers poured in.

Sheeg looked for the Vaporwave game platform on the messy table, while looking at the comments of the audience, answering their questions.

"What are you playing today? Of course it's "Sherlock Holmes" by Linmu Studio. You may have forgotten...I'm also British."

"I almost forgot that you are British, and your spoken language is very American... the housekeeper! Block him!"

"I heard that the last game of Linmu Studio encountered some problems in our country? I haven't heard of it. Wasn't their last game very good?"

"Is it possible to broadcast live? To be honest, I am also worried. After all, it is not a local company, so I also sent an email to ask Linmu Studio. They are quite open-minded and said that live broadcasts are welcome both overseas and domestically. Of course, in the end I also added that it is best for players to buy the game and experience it for themselves, so..."

"If you are interested, it is best to buy the game."

"Maybe there are offensive elements in the game?... Then I smashed the switch in hand on the spot, and I did what I said, and you all witness."

"..."

While talking nonsense to the audience, Sheeg finally found the Vaporwave game platform and opened the just-unlocked "Sherlock Holmes".

Then, the game starts!

Xie Ge also changed the control method, turned his head and picked up the handle.

"Sometimes, this is the advantage of playing the games of Linmu Studio. They have perfectly adapted their own switch PRO handles for all PC games, which is very easy to use."

Xie Ge sighed, and then quickly glanced at the logo before the game started. In general, there were not many changes, except that it changed from Dragon Studio to the logo of Xihan Studio.

With the last LOGO hidden.

then.

The game start page will appear.

Two men with the appearance of English gentlemen stood beside the opening page, their hats were lowered, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

"Wuhu~"

Seeing the start page, Sheeg couldn't help but whistle.

After all, I saw the culture I was familiar with in the game.

Although he doesn't know how to dress like this at all, culture is something engraved in the heart of every aborigine.

Choose to start the game.

At first the page paused, then gradually burned, and finally transformed into the pages of an antique typewriter.

blah blah.

There was the sound of the mechanical keyboard of the typewriter being tapped.

A friendly-looking man with sideburns sat in front of the typewriter, typing characters quickly.

"The first time I met Sherlock Holmes, I was worrying about renting an apartment in London. At that time, I had just retired from Afghanistan due to injury..."

As the sound of typing on the keyboard continued to sound, the letters continued to appear.

The camera also moved forward slowly, to the paper with characters constantly popping out.

Then, the picture gradually blurred, and the sound of typing typing turned into the loud noise of the steam train's axle and wheels rolling crazily.

It's like time travel.

Woohoo.

Accompanied by a huge amount of steam ejected from the top of the locomotive.

The camera zooms up, and all players have a panoramic view of London, England during the Victorian period.

"cool."

Sheeg smiled when he saw this.

In fact, as long as it is a large-scale game, there will generally be such a link at the beginning.

Simply put, it is to show the picture quality.

Pay a little attention, and you should be able to find that many 3A games have a distant view shot or scene at the beginning.

At this time, the textures of the game screen are often the most detailed, and the optimization is also the best.

Because the player's perception of a game's screen, or more accurately, the skin of the game is the most concentrated time.

It is the period when the player just opens the game.

At this time, players haven't played the game yet, so they are very concerned about these external aspects.

Even "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has such a link.

And as a work on the PC side.

"Sherlock Holmes" certainly takes this into consideration.

The shot slowly ascending from the steam locomotive directly gives a panoramic view of the whole London.

At the same time, the screen tries to highlight some iconic buildings, such as the Tower of London, the London Bridge under construction, Piccadilly Circus as the center of entertainment, and the Houses of Parliament.

These buildings that still exist today instantly eliminate the unfamiliarity of players who just entered the game.

On the contrary, there is a feeling of time travel.

The effect is not bad.

After leaving a deep impression on the players, "Sherlock Holmes" did not let the camera stop too much, thinking that the players could appreciate the fruits of their efforts, but directly pulled down the camera to Watson's perspective.

After all, waiting for the player to press skip impatiently, and wanting to see more scenery are two different things...

Like this will.

Many viewers who watched the live broadcast were a little dissatisfied, asking why Xie Ge skipped the scenery, which is obviously very good.

"I didn't skip it, the game is so fast, what can I do, if you want to watch it again, go buy the game."

Xieg dropped a sentence, and then began to manipulate Watson around.

but,

It's not an open world game after all, so running around is definitely out of the question.

So in the end, he followed the game prompts obediently and headed to a certain bar named Claytilian.

next.

It's a familiar plot.

At the entrance of the bar, Watson met Stanford, an assistant who was working at Bats Hospital at the time.

The two met unexpectedly, and of course they were very pleasantly surprised, so they sat down and had a chat. Watson told the other party about his experience during this period, and mentioned that he was looking for a house recently.

"I want to find a cheap and comfortable house to live in, but I don't know if I can find it, it's too expensive."

"Perhaps you could find someone to live with or something?"

"Come on, who would want to be my roommate?"

"...you are the second person to say that to me today."

When the assistant heard what Watson said, he suddenly smiled and said this.

"Who is the first person?" Watson was slightly surprised.

Then.

Sherlock Holmes officially debuted.

But for the first time, this Sherlock Holmes, whose name appeared in the title of the game, did not leave a deep impression on the players.

After all, the scene where he appeared was in a hospital laboratory, and this Sherlock Holmes, standing in front of a pile of stills, test tubes, and a Bunsen burner with a blue flame, was concentrating on researching something, and there was something in his mouth. He was muttering non-stop.

It looks rather odd.

but.

soon.

Players have a deep impression on him...

Stanford took Watson, pushed the door in, greeted each other, and began to introduce the two parties: "This is Dr. Watson, and this is Mr. Holmes."

And Holmes raised his head, and almost instantly, he saw Watson's identity as a soldier.

Watson was very surprised by this, and even asked the assistant next to him if he had introduced it before.

The assistant shook his head, smiled without saying a word.

And Holmes also spoke...

Accompanied by a cool performance, the details of Watson's body were magnified, and then appeared one by one with Holmes' explanation.

Well, basic deduction.

Although the possibility of actual implementation is relatively low.

But in the game, it is indeed very bluffing. All the analyzes are connected in series through clues, and finally a certain conclusion is drawn.

It looks very handsome! Very detective!

In the game, Watson listened to the other party's words with a suspicious expression on his face, and at the same time glanced at the assistant next to him.

The assistant shrugged and continued to smile without saying a word.

And this time.

A policeman rushed in hastily.

Brings news that another girl has been killed,

The main storyline of the game is also officially released, the serial murder of girls!

When Holmes heard the news, he was very calm. He just picked up the hat on the side, put it on his head, and then turned to Watson and said, "Are you here to discuss the matter of co-tenancy? If you want, let's chat on the road, Watson." gentlemen."

Watson was silent for a moment, and agreed.

Next, the game unfolds from Watson's perspective.

Players cannot control Sherlock Holmes, but they can observe closely and then help the other party find clues.

If you look for clues, you will encounter obstacles.

For example, punks, unidentified thugs, and unreasonable brawny men.

For the sake of gameplay, Xihan Studio added a lot of action links to the game.

The action link that played very coolly did not disappoint the players at all.

But the excellent action system cannot conceal the fun of the plot itself.

The feeling of players playing "Di Renjie" and "Call of Duty" is back in this game.

To put it simply, it is... a film and television plot.

Whether it's performances, lines, or plots, they are all standard film and television.

The Watson controlled by the player does not seem to be playing, but more like participating in a movie.

And since it is a movie, and most of the time, the player's perspective is focused on Sherlock Holmes.

So the image of him is of course the most profound.

As for his evaluation.

how to say.

This is a... real genius!

"Damn! Do people really exist who don't know anything about astronomy, not even that the earth revolves around the sun?"

Two hours later.

Xie Ge controlled Watson, and when he heard the conversation between him and Holmes, he couldn't help but complain.

Then look back at the audience's comments.

"Indeed, he could even tell tobacco from its soot, but didn't know that the earth revolves around the sun..."

"Interesting guy, eccentric, but maybe that's genius."

"Speaking of which, the basic deductive method proposed in this game is very interesting. Can it be done in reality?"

"It might work?"

Some viewers agreed with him.

But only a small portion.

Because most of the viewers' comments are...

"Who wants you to be emotional? Hurry up and continue the game! We want to know the follow-up!"

"Yes! Keep going!"

"I want to see the continuation of the plot! How will Holmes determine the murderer! I don't want to hear about your bb!"

"..."

Seeing the audience's words, Xie Ge was a little dumbfounded, and then suddenly came up with an idea.

I am downloading the broadcast at this time, do these people want to kill me?

Hmm...probably not.

But there should be a strong desire to buy the game.

Even if he didn't, he should immediately find the anchor who is broadcasting the same game.

Because this game is really attractive, for those who play it, every good action scene is a great pleasure.

For the audience, enjoying the story seems to be a good fun.

Maybe this is the reason for the rapid rise of Linmu Studio, right?

Xie Ge continued the game while thinking about something.

And games...are games after all.

There are not many big scenes in the front of the game. Most of the time, it is to investigate a case, and then get new clues, interact with Sherlock Holmes, get more information, and then advance the plot and investigate again.

Most of the game screens in the first few hours of the game are dark in tone, focusing more on cases and character creation.

The biggest attraction for players is also Sherlock Holmes' "basic deductive method" of reasoning from the smallest details...

But as the game slowly progresses.

The big scenes began to increase.

For example, it is finally determined that the murderer is the Duke of Blackwood, and he is going to be brought to justice.

The player must deal with an entire church of enemies.

You can choose how to play.

You can sneak in, or you can go all the way with Holmes.

There is also an explosion scene.

Anyway, as long as the victim dies, stop the other party.

After the real murderer, Duke Blackwood, was brought to justice, the game did not end, but developed in a fantasy direction.

Watson, the player, personally confirms his death.

But just after the burial, the gravekeeper saw him crawling out of the tomb...

The game has once again entered a new chapter.

At this moment.

Sheeg has been playing for more than five hours.

The game starts with a small case, while clearly explaining the context of the entire serial murder case, and then comes to the link of identifying and catching the real murderer.

After catching the real culprit, the player breathed a sigh of relief.

This is not the end, but another beginning.

It's really a ring within a ring.

There is no time for the player to rest at all. As the game progresses, both Sherlock Holmes and Watson played by the player begin to become three-dimensional...

And the murderer came back to life.

Holmes, Watson, and the players had no choice but to go to the cemetery again and open the autopsy.

At this time, the atmosphere of the game changed a little. When the police lifted the coffin out, they opened the coffin lid and found that it was not the real murderer, the Duke of Lakewood, but an unknown deceased. The duke knows witchcraft, and when a dead person leaves, the living will be stuffed into the coffin, it really has a dark and terrifying taste.

At this time, the player's emotions also experienced an inflection point.

There was renewed interest in the case.

in the game.

Holmes and Watson have cooperated seamlessly after the cooperation in the previous game.

One is to observe the scene, and the other is to determine the time of death of the unknown deceased.

Sheeg controlled the character to complete the above actions, and then followed Holmes to the exit of the cemetery.

"Do you really believe that he will come back from the dead?" Watson, played by the player, asked.

"It's not a question of belief or not, but how he was resurrected. The game has begun, Watson."

Holmes put on his hat.

Then, the lens slowly zoomed up.

"Follow your heart and take responsibility."

"Shout...God bless Harry, England and St. George."
