Jiyou Stubbornly Releases a Trailer

The following day, the official Weibo account of Jiyou Network released a notice that attracted countless players.

In short, the content means:

It's finally here after much anticipation!

Thank you for your patience, players. During this time, Jiyou Network has dedicated itself to further training and experience summarizing. Amidst much anticipation, the development of "Bloody Scientist" has been completed!

Thanks for your support! This game won't disappoint you!

We referenced existing Horror Games, just as they referenced and used our 'innovative combination'.

After rigorous testing of Horror Games by professionals, we believe that current horror elements are severely lacking in 'reasonableness' and 'unbalanced'.

Therefore, during its initial development, * Bloody Scientist * addressed these issues and resolved the obvious 'flaws' of Horror Games. This allows players who are afraid of Horror Games to enjoy the experience without worry!

We will hold a game launch event within a month, where we will give everyone a real-world hands-on experience and introduce all aspects of the game.

Please stay tuned for our updates.

"Bloody Scientist" will bring you a different kind of horror experience!

That concludes the content.

Below, a two-minute game trailer was also included.

Among the netizens surfing Weibo, there are many gamers.

When they saw the notification from the Ji You, they all raised their eyebrows, finding it extremely interesting.

After all, today is only the third day since the release of Control Failure!

Amidst this fervent enthusiasm, Ji You dared to announce news of its new game and even released a trailer.

They're practically going to fight head-on!

Moreover, this Weibo post is full of veiled meanings, making it hard not to believe that it has ulterior motives.

but...

This is a trivial matter between game companies; what does it have to do with the players?

So, players clicked on the trailer for "Bloody Scientist" to see what it was like.

As they clicked, they discovered that the video was posted on Danmu Network.

At this point, perhaps because it was too early, there weren't many comments or bullet screen messages.

The comments that could be evaluated were somewhat strange.

Because there was neither blowing nor spraying.

All of this stemmed from doubts and questions, arousing the curiosity of the players.

Logically speaking, given that it's Horror Games, the necessary procedures should have already been completed.

What's going on with not criticizing or cursing?

Soon, as the video began to play, the players settled down and started watching.

The screen first displays a logo resembling a shoe and a spring, along with the name of the Leap Studio.

Next, there are the logos of Jiyou Network and its major sponsors.

Once all of that is done, the game officially begins!

The video is completely Pitch Black and deathly silent.

At that moment, many male gamers saw an incredibly handsome man through the black screen, a man they had to admit was absolutely stunning.

Immediately afterwards, a line of small white text appeared in the middle of the black screen.

'April 2050, Blue Star Research Ship.'

Experienced gamers will immediately recognize that the trailer reveals the time and location.

2050?

So the game takes place 30 years in the future?

The players in front of the screen blinked and continued watching.

They had known for a long time that the game was science fiction and horror, so they had no doubts about the time and place.

At that moment, a male voice rang out from the Pitch Black screen.

[I am Dr. Qu, a biological research expert from the Blue Star research vessel. Our mission is to travel to the Jupiter space station to participate in research on gas giants.]

[The spacecraft's journey is projected to last 10 years. To maintain our physical condition, we've entered cryogenic hibernation pods, so this will be a journey without us feeling anything.]

[But now, the feeling has come.]

I woke up out of nowhere.

[Then, I discovered... there were some things on the spaceship that weren't human.]

The players were immediately intrigued upon seeing this.

Something that isn't human?

Was it a ghost? Or a monster?

A long time ago, Ji You released a game poster.

Players have seen what the enemies look like from there.

He looks like an alien!

In other words, it's not scary.

From this perspective, it is vastly different from the few horror works in the Only Game.

However, given that this was the initial concept poster, and that they referenced other Horror Games, it was not a good fit.

So now that so much time has passed, the monsters should be even scarier than before.

It's unlikely to be an alien.

After all, it's Horror Games; if it's about aliens, then it's not very interesting.

Ghosts and monsters are what really scare people!

However.

But then a line suddenly appeared in the trailer.

They are aliens!

Netizen:

Netizen: Sorry, we overestimated it.

As the narration in the trailer ended, the scene appeared on screen.

The protagonist's first-person perspective appears before the players.

Then, together with them, they witnessed the appearance of several aliens in turn.

Then, players saw humanoid aliens with slender figures but ugly heads. They were dragging human corpses and attacking the game's protagonist.

The scene changes.

Then we saw a hybrid alien with the upper body of a sexy woman and the lower body of a spider, currently in the scene frantically firing a laser gun.

Then, we saw a round, furry alien carrying a hand cannon. It was patrolling with a wobbly gait, looking rather adorable...

Finally, there was the alien, like a warrior, clad in gold armor and bare-handed. It leaped into the air, poised for a flying kick...

Upon seeing these aliens, the players frowned, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.

But they persevered and continued watching.

Simply because this trailer is for Horror Games.

Perhaps the alien design isn't ideal, but the game's atmosphere might be terrifying?

After all, atmosphere can mask the shortcomings of a model's design.

Take a look at * Dark Forest *. Because of its top-down perspective, you can't see the monsters in their entirety. But it still manages to drive people crazy with its terrifying atmosphere, making them scream in fear.

So, the players opened their eyes wide, eager to see where the horror lay in the game.

In the video, the protagonist, speaking in the first person, finds a gun in the armory, picks it up and shakes it, and then assumes a shooting posture.

Then

Suddenly, rousing music blared, and gunshots erupted from the video feed.

The next scene shows the protagonist holding this kind of gun and that kind of gun and starting to shoot, shoot, shoot.

Encountered a trap, pfft pfft pfft.

We encountered aliens, so we started shooting.

Encountering the BOSS, gunfire!

Thump thump thump thump...

The players watched, their eyes twitching, speechless.

Finally, in the trailer, the protagonist arrives at the driver's seat.

We discovered that this place is actually controlled by aliens!

Then he blurted out a line: "My God, they've taken control of the whole ship."

Then, he pulled out a high-tech gun that was dazzling and looked incredibly powerful.

Then, the screen went black, leaving only the continuous sound of gunfire.

At the same time, a notification appeared in the middle of the black screen.

This trailer uses actual gameplay footage, but it is for reference only and does not represent the final quality.

End of trailer.

The players on the screen displayed a variety of expressions.

After watching the trailer, I finally understood why no one was criticizing it.

Because the entire trailer didn't reveal any 'horror' aspect, it only showed a lot of shooting scenes.

However, the game is explicitly defined as Horror Games, which makes it difficult for players to follow the proper procedures; they have no choice but to ask questions first.

In the past, no matter which manufacturer produced it, as long as it was Horror Games, you could just criticize it.

But now, with the emergence of phenomenal titles like The Only Game, players' attitudes toward Horror Games have changed rapidly.

I've developed a little trust in Horror Games from other developers, especially domestic ones, instead of blindly criticizing them like before.

After all, the sheer size of the Ji You is undeniable.

Given their experience with a failed film like "The Jungle Terror," their new film "Bloody Scientist" shouldn't be too bad.

Blindly criticizing others only makes one appear prejudiced and targeted.

Maybe they really put their heart into it, but the trailer just didn't show any scary scenes?

With this comfort in mind, players began leaving comments below the video and on Weibo.

"Wow, what a huge size! Even something like ' Jungle Terror ' sells for 168, this one's going to sell for several thousand."

"Is this really Horror Games? The trailer doesn't look that scary."

"Be confident, upstairs! It has absolutely nothing to do with horror!"

"Indeed, the trailer for the Only Game is full of horror and eeriness. But this ' Bloody Scientist '... I can only say it might be more of an FPS."

"The aliens' designs are also quite ordinary; they don't have any eye-catching features."

"Is the trailer showing actual gameplay? It looks like an FPS where you fight aliens, is it really scary?"

"What I want to do is go on a killing spree in Horror Games, but if it's not scary, then going on a killing spree isn't fun."

"Yeah, the trailer doesn't show how scary it is. Is it because it wasn't edited out, or is the game itself that scary?"

"After playing Weiyou's Horror Games, I feel completely indifferent to other Horror Games."

"Can anyone tell me if this can be played with VR? It feels like without VR, there's not much of an immersive experience."

"A masterpiece! This must be a masterpiece! I'm buying it like crazy! Stop guessing, okay? Ji You is one of the top game companies in China. Do you think our technical skills are inferior to Only Game? Just wait and see. Once the game is released, you'll know who's the boss."

"Here comes the filial son! I won't say anything else, but how about we release a VR Ji You first?"

"Do you think VR is great? You get dizzy all over, what are you bragging about? It's not even as good as keyboard and mouse controls in Ji You."

"Oh right, I hope you'll support ' Bloody Scientist ' when it's sold for four or five hundred a copy."

Regarding the discussion about the game trailer, players behaved relatively normally and did not start arguing because of the content of the trailer.

After the success of Only Game, players have gradually learned to accept similar games from domestic developers.

For them, the reason they used to angrily criticize those Horror Games, besides calling them trash, was more because the developers thought players were idiots who wanted to make money by churning out garbage.

This led players to believe that these game companies were using games to launder money or scam investors.

Otherwise, why would they choose Horror Games that was ignored at the time?

They've been working on mobile games for a while now!

Therefore, for manufacturers with such an improper attitude, they should criticize and condemn them, and even intensify their efforts.

The same applies to "The Jungle Terror," which was so poorly made that it was heavily criticized at the time.

But now, players are more tolerant.

With such a shining example as Only Game, it's believed that many who followed suit would have taken note and learned from it, thus producing a reasonably satisfactory and acceptable Horror Games.

For example, with the current game "Bloody Scientist," players are skeptical but also somewhat expectant.

Therefore, players' perception of Horror Games from other developers has shifted from 'trash' to 'normal'.

Furthermore, the fact that the developer is Jiyou Network, a leading company in China, made them willing to believe in the game "Bloody Scientist".

After all, it was they who first proposed the combination of 'horror' and 'shooting', and players have indeed experienced the joy that this combination brings in Skyhill and Control Failure.

So I still believe and am willing to believe.

Even if this Ji You isn't as good as the Horror Games from Weiyou, it's still better than the trashy Horror Games of the past.

As Huaxia gamers, we are willing to give opportunities to our domestic developers who are willing to improve and focus on the gaming experience.

Although the trailer leans more towards FPS, the Ji You is advertised as Horror Games, so let's just take it as fact for now.

So, instead of cursing, the players had a normal discussion and asked questions in the comments section of Weibo.

I'm curious whether this is actually Horror Games.

However, Ji You has not given any response; we'll have to wait until the press conference to find out.

So now players are enjoying the masochistic torment in Control Failure while waiting for the release of Bloody Scientist.

At this time, Wuxian Infinite Network Entertainment rival of TechGames, directly informed Meng Shu about Ji You ' Weibo post.

Upon hearing this, the latter did not react, but instead gave a response that astonished even Infinite Network Entertainment.

"Let's make money together. I'll post an update later to support them."

There will be more later, I finally get a break today.
