Chapter 240 Players' various conjectures, monthly tickets)
The message posted on the official blog of Chen Xu and Xingyun Games is very simple.
It is an original character concept drawing.
However, the character in this concept map is not an ordinary human but a dragon.
It has four-legged wings, a giant white horn extending to both sides of the head, and its body is extremely large and densely packed with intimidation and lethality, making people shudder. The huge wings on the back cover their shoulders and the dark black and dark purple scales make the evil dragon look violent.
The whole look is very domineering and full of oppression.
Below this picture, Chen Xu also posted a text to describe the creature.
‘Destroyed Dragon: The large ancient dragon monster, whose countless black sharp spikes and very thick and strong double horns that grow from the whole body, are characterized by extremely strong desire to attack and fierce personality, and have overwhelming power.’
‘In addition, the Destroyed Dragon has super regeneration ability, so in order to continue to maintain the regeneration ability, the Destroyed Dragon requires a lot of energy. For this reason, the Destroyed Dragon pursues prey on monsters containing high purity energy, but in fact, all creatures are predators of the Destroyed Dragon. According to this situation, there are rumors like [Ancient Dragon Who Destroyed Everything], so it is also called [Destroyed Dragon]’
Under the official blog, many players were stunned.
Because generally speaking, shouldn’t the promotional objects of a game be targeted with the protagonist in the game?
How come this is a one-stop?
Could it be that the player in the new work will play the role of this existence called the Destroyed Dragon?
If we look at the introduction of the Destroyed Dragon, then is this game controlling this monster called Destroyed Dragon and hunting various creatures everywhere?
Big fish eat small fish?
What's going on?
Looking at the official blog released by Chen Xu, many players were a little confused.
"What's the situation? What exactly is Chen Xu's new game? I've put a concept picture of the original painting, and I can't guess it at all!"
"Look, I'll just say it! Mr. Chen is becoming more and more fooling around now! It turns out that there is also a promotional trailer that can be watched when participating in the gameplay exhibition. Now I'll give us a concept original drawing!"
"It's time to move out that emoji again!"
"Brother upstairs, Mr. Chen has too many emoticons. Are you talking about this one (warming people's hearts, beloved warrior.jpg), or this one? (Is it a fire transmission?.jpg) or this one? (I'm doing it, it's about to be released.jpg)."
"23333333, Mr. Chen has so many jokes!"
"I suspect that Mr. Chen is fooling us again like before, but in fact, he hasn't even created a folder!"
"By the way, I have a bold but not necessarily correct guess. Is there a new work that may be a soul series? It tells the story before the fire transmission. After all, Gwen and the Witch defeated the Gu Long, but they didn't know how to defeat it. This Destroyed Dragon is probably one of the Gu Long. In the new work, we will manipulate the Gu Long to fight against Gwen, Nitt, and the Witch at the peak of the time."
"Brother, your guess is too bold, and it must be wrong! Didn't you pay attention? The style of this dragon and the Black Soul series is completely different! The art style of the Black Soul is biased towards the magical and realistic style of European and American, but this Destroyed Dragon is obviously a fantasy realistic style with oriental characteristics, so it is definitely not the Black Soul series!"
With the release of Chen Xu's official blog, many players made various speculations.
However, Chen Xu soon released the second original concept picture.
The content is very simple, it is the previous Destroyed Dragon, but this time, there is an extra human in the same scene.
That is a hunter holding a sword longer than a human, wearing a suit of armor, confronting Mie Jinlong.
At the same time, in this original concept picture, players finally understood the name of its new game "Monster Hunter: World".
With the release of this second original concept picture, it is obviously more content, and more players are involved in the discussion.
"Monster Hunter? Damn this is a hunting game!?"
"Wait! Hunting game? It means that this guy is called the extermination of dragons, and it is the target of our hunting in the game then!?"
"It's not really a soul game, right?"
"I'm in a very complicated mood now!"
"Did it mean it's from fire transmission? It's turned into hunting?"
"The first original concept picture is a dragon, and the second picture shows the hunter. Do you think this is a hint? It means that the dragon is the protagonist, and the hunter we play is the prey?"
"I think it's not impossible. Look at the title of the game. Is it possible to understand this way? "Monster (noun) Hunter (verb) Man (noun)""
"Damn it, God can understand Monster Hunter like this, but I have to say that he is real!"
When many players see this second concept original painting, the impression of suffering in their minds suddenly comes out.
Especially the very White Dragon Heath in the previous work, the nameless king riding the dragon and the black dragon Karamit.
Many players think that this is not a soul game, right?
After all, there were only two large-scale games in Nebula Games before, "Dark Souls"!
Many players on the Internet are a little excited and a little afraid of this.
After all, this dark soul really impressed them too much.
Including the big brothers who passed on fire, this sentence has become a meme.
Of course, there are more players who cheer and please at this time, although it is no longer a story about the fire.
But isn't it the same for hunting?
"Here, come, the soul game is here!"
"I'm finally here. Do you know how I spent this year? If I don't get abused, I feel uncomfortable!"
"I can't wait a little bit. I heard that I also use the latest AI technology of Nebula Games!"
"It's just that before the 'death mode' feels like there is a little improvement, but there is no difference?"
Many players are very excited.
However, at this time, what surprised many people was that Chen Xu posted another official blog.
‘I have also learned the enthusiasm of online players, but what I want to say here is that Monster Hunter: World is not a soul game, it is a pure hunting and fighting game.’
‘The main gameplay of the game is to use a variety of weapons, shuttle through the jungle and hunt dragon creatures with your hunter companions, and collect materials from them to create better weapons and armor, revealing the final truth about the ancient dragon.’
‘So again, Monster Hunter: World is not a so-called soul game, so you may be disappointed if you are looking forward to experiencing the experience of the soul game.’
In the Nebula Game, Chen Xu looked at the various remarks on the Internet and sent an official blog to explain.
It is still very necessary to declare the discussions between online players.
After all, as a designer who is full of enthusiasm and care for players, he must solve the players' misunderstandings!
