Chapter 71: Come On, Zombie Horde!
Is there only one promotional video?
No, of course not!!
How long is an opening promotional CG? To show players the entire game's visuals, you can't rely on just one scene.
That would be too boring.
then--
Shen Huaizhou created all the opening CGs for each level and made them play in a loop.
Zhu Ji wasn't unfamiliar with the game's CG promotional images.
But domestic games... well, that's about it.
It always gives people a particularly knock-off feeling.
The same applies to promotional videos and CG-generated visuals, and this applies to all these domestic manufacturers, regardless of size.
Their opening CG promotional content was utterly baffling!
For example, you wake up inexplicably in an abandoned place at the beginning of the game, without any background information or explanation of the world view.
Then some governor appeared and forced you to drink some inexplicable medicine.
Then I kicked you all down.
This is a typical mechanic in some post-apocalyptic games.
But these weren't the most outrageous things Zhu Ji had ever seen. What was even more outrageous was that this game was a building and survival game.
As a result, without spending money, you can only live in a thatched hut, but if you spend money, you can even build a crystal castle.
This is even more outrageous than those survival games where you buff guns and grind for mods.
Zombies?
Let me give you some data on zombies, like regular zombies, elite zombies, radiation zombies, green-skinned zombies, and red-skinned zombies.
Anyway, I'm too lazy to modify the model for you.
But the stage that the insomnia game presented to him showed him a completely different game scene!
The next video will be here soon!
A cold, damp feeling suddenly washed over me, accompanied by whispers in my ear, coughing, and dry heaving.
In just a few seconds, Zhu Ji felt as if she were actually there.
As a single-player gamer, known as the "Celestial Dragon," this was the first time he had seen such a scene in a domestically produced game.
Watching the zombie horde sweep across the entire map as it attacks.
And then there were those gloomy, rainy days, and the occasional sound that reached my ears.
The next moment! A horde of zombies suddenly sprang out from some dark corner!
"Da da da, da da da da!"
The four main characters formed a complete survival team, with bullets fired from various firearms.
You can clearly see the force of the bullet as it leaves the gun barrel in this CG promotional image!
Finally, the camera focused on a figure kneeling and crying.
From a first-person perspective, the instant the flashlight beam fell on the crying girl...
*Plop!*
A pair of sharp claws, accompanied by a scream, pounced directly at all the spectators present!
"Don't come any closer!"
"Holy crap! That scared the hell out of me! Is there any supermodel with long legs who can give me a hug?"
"..."
The moment Witch charged out, even Zhu Ji was stunned!
Da Zhuang's hand holding the gimbal was trembling slightly; the scene was simply too outrageous.
It felt like the infected person had rushed right onto my face.
Do you understand this feeling?
"Wow, that's so exciting!"
Dazhuang, a streamer in the gaming section, often drives traffic to some small game developers.
It is not under the control of Gangzi and Heilong.
However, due to the show's appeal, it has garnered millions of fans across the internet for a long time.
Just by looking at his slices, some slice bloggers can eat very well.
Having played quite a few games, I can tell that Da Zhuang in front of me almost dropped the gimbal.
The scene of the Witch lunging at the player is incredibly exciting.
Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to squeeze in at all.
The promotional video looks completely different from what you see on-site!
Absolutely stunning! This is a cinematic performance!!
Although the entire promotional video did not contain any actual gameplay footage, it achieved its effect through simple cuts from several videos.
The game's background, world view, and gameplay are all laid out before your eyes!
Unrivaled, exhilarating gameplay!
That's a great word! You don't need to worry about levels or buy any equipment; you just need to survive in this zombie world.
Just wait for the rescue to arrive!
Moreover, the gunfight scenes in the game are clearly visible in this promotional video.
The recoil, the gun models, and the design of those guns.
There are no values! Yes, there are no values at all!
Zombies will die if they are shot in the head. In addition to firearms, there are also melee weapons such as Molotov cocktails, grenades, and baseball bats!
They designed all the melee PVE scenarios that players like.
That's fucking awesome! Just seeing this video is fucking awesome!
Upon seeing this, the viewers in Dazhuang's live stream room went wild.
Holy crap! Holy crap!
[I'm not well-educated, is this...this movie-quality game graphics real? Is Insomnia Game really going all out like this?]
[This is so fake! Insomnia Studio has never made a shooting game before. This promotional video is obviously fake.]
[A ten-year FPS game player here to tell you, the gun design is absolutely flawless. If this game actually added shooting feedback, I'd buy it outright!]
I just saw Dazhuang coming from Gangzi's booth; they're also making a post-apocalyptic game.
[Wow! Isn't this a complete stomp?]
There's no actual gameplay footage, just a fully CG trailer. How can they possibly crush you? Are they going to crush you with their heads?
[Gangzi actually has people defending him? Unbelievable!]
Has Gangzi ever made a post-apocalyptic game?
Have you ever played the insomnia game?
[Fight! Fight! Fight!]
[I'm starting to suspect that the designer of this insomnia technology has a system—yes, the kind of system from novels. Otherwise, why would they combine zombies and FPS elements?]
If this game could run on a virtual machine, holy crap, I can't believe it—
In no time, the venue became increasingly crowded!
After circling around all the booths, more and more people finally settled on the Insomnia Technology booth!
The two short promotional videos completely blew up the eyes of these players!
You have to understand, this game was simply ahead of its time back then!
Even by 2025 standards, it would still be an excellent masterpiece!
Unfortunately, there was no sequel after Left 4 Dead 2.
Its worldview is in no way different from that of Resident Evil.
Zombie games were popularized by Resident Evil, but Left 4 Dead is the most successful example of the zombie craze.
It also established a fixed framework for zombie cooperative games.
