Chapter 226: There are gimmicks and feelings
"Honor is showing a real-machine demonstration?" Zhang Jiale was stunned, then frowned.

Although he had also heard that an internal test was conducted in China a few days ago, it was said that the new version did have some good stuff, and even many players from the LPL went to join in the fun.

But he didn't expect the publicity campaign to begin so soon.

Looking at the skyrocketing data of this video, he felt vaguely uneasy.

As the top player under Pei Yunteng who has the least attachment to his old club Honor of Kings among all the Chinese players who have switched to League of Legends, Zhang Jiale only hopes that Honor of Kings can continue to languish in a half-dead state.

"Glory? What happened to Glory?" Sun Zheping, who had been taking a nap with his eyes closed, opened his eyes with an alert look.

"I released a new video, a real-machine demonstration, and it seems to have received a good response." Zhang Jiale held up his phone.

This immediately aroused the interest of everyone, including Lu Liang.

Except for Xiye, everyone here was once a hardcore player of Glory. Even Mo Fan once earned the title of the number one scavenger.

Seeing that the game they had spent a lot of money on suddenly came back to life after being half-dead for a year, everyone couldn't wait to see what was going on.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get a projector!" Zhang Jiale fiddled with it and projected the video to ensure that everyone could see it.

The video begins with the view from a dark forest, dilapidated and eerie.

"This must be the Green Forest, but the atmosphere feels more like a ghost story." Zhang Jiale has sharp eyes and was the first to recognize the prototype of this forest.

The view slowly moves downwards, and under the layers of dark-hued leaves, six figures are hurrying on their way.

"Weicao! And Tyranny! How did they get together? And they're wearing nothing?" Zhang Jiale exclaimed.

He did not carefully understand the entire process of the domestic test, but he did not expect that there would be such an exciting scene at the beginning.

Although every character that appears is wearing the most ordinary white clothes, they all look similar.

But thanks to Honor's very detailed face-shaping system, everyone in Fanhua was able to easily recognize the identities of these characters.

Tyranny, Han Wenqing of The Smoke in the Desert, Zhang Xinjie of The Unmoving Stone, Bai Yanfei of Rota;
Wei Cao, Wang Jiexi, the king of Wangbuliuxing, Li Yihui, the flying clothes, and Liu Xiaobie, the flying knife.

The six main characters of the two teams moved harmoniously and quickly in the dense forest.

Vici Gaming and Tyranny fighting side by side?
Can you see such a scene anywhere other than the All-Star Game?
Zhang Jiale felt that the sun was really rising in the west.

However this is just the beginning.

With a deafening roar, the perspective gradually changed to the first-person perspective of the desert smoke. The dark night cat demon appeared on the tree branch in front and pounced over with a roar.

"The movements are different." Sun Zheping's pupils shrank.

In his memory, the action logic of the Glory BOSSes was very rigid.

The attack method is so fixed that it is completely possible to use data to quantify and count when and how it will attack. Even if there is some hidden mechanism, at most it will increase the damage and attack frequency or something.

As the first hidden BOSS in Glory, the Dark Night Cat Demon is known by heart by more experienced Glory players.

However, this time when the cat demon pounced, Sun Zheping immediately discovered that this thing's attack method was different from before.

The six people on the ground seemed a little surprised by the cat demon's new AI. They did not choose to take it head-on, but instead scattered to avoid it.

The cat demon missed its first claw and without hesitation, it swung its tail across the spot. Liu Xiaobie, who was closest to it, was unable to dodge and was hit, and his health was immediately reduced to half.

"This damage?" Everyone in Fanhua widened their eyes.

I can only say that Miyazaki's BOSS is always so oppressive when you first kill it.

What follows is an extremely thrilling first-person BOSS battle.

There is not too much exaggeration, just showing the scene at that time is thrilling enough.

The Dark Night Cat Demon's incomprehensible damage, greatly modified attack mode, and extremely strong desire to attack.

On the players' side, apart from the skills of professional players, all they have left are white clothes that are better than nothing.

"So when they went to test it that day... was this the kind of thing they used?" Zhao Yang was stunned.

He has no grudge against Honor itself, and felt a little regretful when he learned that he had missed the internal testing of the new version of Honor.

In the end, they fought a monster of this level behind his back?

He didn't think that the Qigong master's protective shield could block this guy's claw.

"Is this... a soul-like BOSS mode?" Zhang Jiale's eyes narrowed.

Before the League of Legends was tested, he worked as a live streamer for half a year. At that time, Honor of Kings was not very popular, so in order to enrich the content, he played a lot of stand-alone games.

The best soul-like games are naturally Tenghai’s Dark Soul and Aura, but Tenghai will definitely not help its competitors make games.

So... it's Miyazaki who made Bloodborne?

After fighting with the cat demon for quite a while, and even paying the price of casualties with flying knives and swords, the remaining five people finally found the right rhythm and sent the cat demon off.

After collecting the materials dropped by the cat demon, Damao Guyan made his signature Silver Weapon, the Fiery Red Fist, in front of all the audience.

"Let's borrow some from our in-game equipment system as well!" Zhang Jiale commented.

After that, there are exciting and thrilling boss battles one after another.

In the interweaving of the operation perspective and the bird's-eye view, the few of them continued to defeat one BOSS after another, which was a hundred times more ferocious than before, while strengthening their equipment and moving forward. Until they faced the BOSS that blocked Zhang Xinjie's silver weapon and fell into a tough battle.

"It looks like it's going to be hard to win... Could it be that Old Han has exploded again?" Zhang Jiale guessed.

The difficulty of this last BOSS is another leap in level. With the current expedition team having lost one member, Zhang Jiale feels that the chances of winning are slim.

But since it has been released as a promotional video, there must be a twist.

What will it be like?
Sure enough, just when the boss went crazy again and smashed the stone with a hammer,
Suddenly, a shining beam of light, surrounded by six small beams of light, fell from the sky in the sky, enveloping the BOSS, causing it to let out a shrill scream.

The camera turned, and a beautiful figure carrying a heavy artillery appeared on a small hill not far away.

Around her, there were also three people surrounding her. The one in the front was holding a spear and had a high-spirited look on his face.

These are two faces that are very familiar to Honor players.

It can even be said to be the memory of their youth.

Bathed in the rain, orange wind, and an autumn leaf.

"Tsk tsk! How can Mu Cheng and Lao Ye be on camera? Is Xingxin crazy?" Zhang Jiale was dumbfounded.

"It's not Mu Cheng and Lao Ye who appear on the screen, it's Mu Yu Cheng Feng and Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, so there's nothing wrong with it." Sun Zheping hit the nail on the head.

If Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, who are already registered LPL players, were to appear on camera, it would definitely be controversial.

But Mu Yu Cheng Feng and Yi Ye Zhi Qiu don’t have them!

They are essentially characters in the game, and no matter who they are passed on to, they are ultimately part of Glory.

There's nothing wrong with Honor using player accounts in its own games to do some promotional work.

"But if this is done, I can already imagine how crazy the fans will be." Zhang Jiale shook his head.

Although One Autumn Leaf was used by Sun Xiang for a year, even a fool could figure out that One Autumn Leaf, who could appear on screen at this time, could only represent that man.

It goes without saying how excited the fans would be if he and Mu Yucheng Feng stood there.

"If I'm not mistaken, a fight should start soon. The battle between Ye and Han... the memories of so many people." Speaking of this, Zhang Jiale felt a little emotional.

Sure enough, after Xingxin and his men joined the battlefield, they first worked together with the other four to destroy the BOSS, allowing Zhang Xinjie to replenish the last silver weapon.

Then, both sides pulled away and charged forward.

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Da Mo Gu Yan rushed to the front.

The facial models of the two characters are modeled after their users, combined with the unique and exquisite graphics of Honor of Kings.

It was as if Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing themselves were appearing in the video.

As Quexie and the flaming red fist crossed each other, the screen went dark, the logo of the new version of Honor appeared, and the video ended.

"What do you think? Do you guys think this new version can make a comeback?" Zhang Jiale breathed a sigh of relief.

Even when he was studying how SKT played, he was not so serious.

“We’re not sure whether we can make a comeback or not. After all, none of us have participated in a real game. We can’t tell based on this half-real game and half-CG thing.” Sun Zheping’s eyes were sharp.

"I can only say from this video that the new version is indeed trying to improve some of the problems of the old version of Honor, such as the fairness caused by equipment and the monotony of map functions."

“And we can see with our naked eyes that there are many new mechanisms added. It may not be perfectly integrated, and whether it can restore its former glory will have to wait and see its performance after it goes online.”

"but--"

Lu Liang took over the conversation with a strange look on his face: "No matter whether it will be successful in the future, it has become a hit right now, hasn't it?"

There are so many elements in this pilot video.

New gameplay, new mechanisms, new styles, these are things that have never appeared since the launch of Honor of Kings.

Whether it is fun or not is another matter, but it looks very eye-catching. Combined with Honor's consistently excellent graphics performance, it really makes people curious.

In addition to the gimmick of attracting new people, the sentimental card of making the old guys say that it is a return to their youth is also played.

Reproducing the battle between Ye and Han by referring to the characters is enough to drive countless veterans of Tyranny and Excellent Era completely crazy.

Looking at the number of likes and discussions that continued to soar, Zhang Jiale sighed and turned off his phone.

"Forget about it. We can't get involved in the affairs of a big company."

"What we can do is to play well in every game and strive to win the final championship."

"Only if we play the game well enough, will Old Feng and Mr. Pei have enough confidence to compete with Glory."

“So, we must win!”

　Second update, please give me some monthly votes.

　　Good night everyone.
