Chapter 586: Players have psychological shadows (monthly pass)
"Resident Evil: Village" has been online for nearly a week, and the ratings of major game media at home and abroad have basically come out.
The comprehensive media score is 8.7, which is already a very high score.
However, for the influence of the gaming industry, it is obviously not its score, but more importantly, its own sales.
Compared to arpg games like "The Witcher: Wild Hunter", it is obvious that "Resident Evil: Village" is not comparable.
However, in the field of horror games, 4.1 million directly broke the current first-week sales record of horror games. Moreover, this is still on the Universal VR platform. Although the reputation of Nebula Games and Chen Xu is supported by Chen Xu, it is more due to its own game content.
However, compared with designers in the media and the game industry, we pay attention to the various design directions and concepts of "Resident Evil: Village".
The player group is much simpler, they are simply "striving" Chen Xu.
It can be said that in the hearts of players, Chen Xu has quite a lot of images.
The original "Escape" and "Silent Hill pt" made many players tease Chen Xu's game with a very down-to-earth style, and gave him a very vivid nickname: The Underworld.
After all, without the experience of working in the underworld for twenty years, how could it be possible to make such a game in the underworld?
There are also a series of difficult games such as the so-called "Fireman", "Dark Souls" and "Monster Hunter: World", which directly triggered a wave of masochism.
In addition, that is the most widely known 'warrior of love'.
The game developed by Chen Xu may be a game with a very insulting atmosphere, such as the monster design that is san in "Bloodborne" and the scene design of "Escape" and "Silent Hill PT".
It may also be a game that will cause you to be abused on a high level, such as "Dark Souls" and "Sledgehammer".
There are also some games that seem to be quite happy, such as "Animal Party" and "Human: A Fall".
But more of it is to use a knife.
If a disagreement is made, a white knife goes into the red knife. Who can withstand this?
Including his debut work, many players joked about "The Magic Mirror" that has been called Chen Xu's black history and fired the first shot of the Butter Revolution. This mini-game of "The Legend of the Conqueror" has a lot of content about Knife Man.
And now, it is just like the past.
After several consecutive games full of joy, a horror game made countless players feel what it was like to have stomach pain.
Cooperating with "Resident Evil: Village", all kinds of pits dug out on purpose at first glance.
It made the player very excited all of a sudden.
Especially in the ghost and animal areas of major videos, Chen Xu's interviews and award-winning videos were previously circulated, all of which were made into ghost and animal videos.
That "heart-warming work" was even taken out by players and repeatedly whipped the corpse.
Moreover, as Chen Xu's reputation grew bigger and bigger, the targets involved in the crusade have changed from carnivals for domestic players to carnivals for international players.
Some domestic players are carrying posts from foreign forums and the Erchuang ghost animals on video websites.
Similarly, foreign players also carry various resources created by domestic players.

"Mr. Chen, you are still smiling so happily!"
In the lounge of Nebula Games, Yang Xin couldn't help but complain as she looked at Chen Xu.
You should know that this is not the emotions accumulated by a movie "Resident Evil: Village", but the resentment that has accumulated over the years.
Not only Chen Xu, but also the official blogs of core development members, were targeted by many players.
It can be said to be an indiscriminate blow.
"It's not the first time I'm calming down." Chen Xu was completely unhappy.
Think about it when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was released in three consecutive times, the scene was so spectacular.
As for now? It's just a little bit.
Hearing this, Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue, who had just arrived next to him, were speechless.
But when I think about it, it seems that there is a certain reason!
"But we can't let it go so far. After all, we are essentially a very happy game manufacturer." Chen Xu said with a stretched heart.
A very happy game manufacturer?
OK, Mr. Chen, you have the final say.
Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue looked at each other, wanting to stop talking.
"So Mr. Chen, are we developing a happy little game?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Over the years, he probably understood some of Chen Xu’s thoughts.
A brain breaks down and gives a piece of candy, aren’t the player crying because of the game?
Hurry up and give the candy to soothe the player.
Then wait until the player's scar is healed, and then come to the point of being cruel.
"Isn't this ready-made content? 'Blood and Wine' and 'Stone Heart' have faced the content that has already been promised to present to players at the press conference." Chen Xu said, taking out his mobile phone.
Log in to his official blog and Chen Xu glanced at him.
A recent comment section about "Resident Evil: Village" is full of players' passionate care. Just by looking at it, you can feel the emotions that players poured into when sending these words on the other side of the screen.
……………………
This player who is still "striving" Chen Xu quickly discovered the latest official blog news content.
A very simple passage, as well as a picture of the original Towsonte concept painting released at the Carnival Headline Meeting.
"[Heart of Stone] and [Blood and Wine] will be launched on December 20, and the White Wolf Geralt will usher in his final curtain call in Toustente."
Seeing this passage, many players felt a thrill in their hearts, and they were really psychologically shady.
After all, Ethan Winters has just come to a curtain call, and the DLC of "The Witcher: Wild Hunter" is also coming to a curtain call for the White Wolf?
After the knife is passed, it will be cut again?
The players were suddenly discontinued.
‘Damn it! No, right? Seeing the word "Calendar", I felt a trembling in my heart. Will Geralt be gone, right?’
‘If it were other game manufacturers and designers, I would say you were thinking too much, but this is Chen Xu! So many characters have been killed!’
'Do you remember the conversation with the old man in Kelmohan? The witch hunter won't spend his old age in bed. This has been a long time since he hints!'
‘Grass, don’t do this! Don’t want Geralt to die!’
The more the players discussed, the more pessimistic they became. With the various hints that Chen Xu claimed to be "The Warrior of Love", many players even thought that Geralt was already a dead person and began to speculate on Geralt's way of death.
Some people think that like Ethan Winters, they died to protect their daughter Cialis.
Some people think that it may have died to protect Yennefa.
Some people believe that the main line of DLC may continue with Xili's ending as the witch hunter. At the same time, the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Empire are still fighting, and the White Wolf is involved in the battle between the two countries and dies.
Some are analyzed by the name of DLC. The heart of Shi Zhi means that the heart is like a rock and there is no emotion, and who is Geralt's emotion pointing?
Cili and Yennefa. If Cili died in the previous work, then Geralt's ending would be the ending of the Dead Wolf.
So the Heart of the Stone may refer to the death of Cili turned Geralt's Heart into a cold stone.
There are many people talking about it, and players have basically told me about it from big to small, and they can write a book called "100 ways to die from the White Wolf".
……………………
In the Nebula Game, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the speculation of online players: "This is no trust at all. It's just that a DLC news was announced, and there was no promotional video. Is this player so pessimistic?"
So how did the trust disappear? Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue rolled their eyes: "Then Mr. Chen, are we going to say something?"
"No, now I'm going to stand up and respond, isn't it equivalent to giving players a spoiler? Wait until the players experience this surprise by themselves." Chen Xu smiled and shook his head, and then added: "And the more pessimistic you are now, the greater the surprise you will be. The more players are fighting me, the deeper the guilt in their hearts!"
"So, Mr. Chen, will our next work be mainly tragedy?" Qin Yi interrupted and asked.
"Yes, but not exactly." Chen Xu thought for a while and said.
"Mr. Chen, have the idea of a new project!?" Qin Yi widened his eyes. He just asked casually, but looking at this attitude, it seems that Chen Xu does have plans for a new project.
"You will know then." Chen Xu stretched and did not explain.
He also had some considerations about the new work.
What is the most regrettable thing for players in "Resident Evil: Village"?
That is, in the end, only Rose was saved, and Ethan left forever.
So in the next new work, Chen Xu is also preparing to bring players a different story and a work that can comfort them.
Chapter completed!
