Players Are Extremely Excited
"My goodness!"
"Mamma mia!!"
"Holy crap! What's with those dead fish eyes?!"
"Damn! That scared the crap out of me!"
"My phone almost flew out of my hand, damn it!"
"You never know when that will happen!"
"That eye-rolling idiot sent me flying on the spot, damn it!"
"I need to be saved!"
"Cardiac arrest! I'm suffocating!"
"I was thinking I'd get to see what was inside the house with the main character, and you gave me this surprise! I'm so happy!"
"Damn, I was so scared that my Fruit Phone 15 Pro (a high-end phone from a foreign brand (luxury gold-plated, long-lasting version), it's really expensive) hit my face, and it even knocked my AirBGM Pro Max (a Bluetooth wireless earphone from a foreign brand (wireless charging version), specifically for the iPhone 15 Pro (everyone in America uses it (by the way, I'm also a member of the A-Music APP, so I can listen to the songs that everyone in America listens to)))"
The sudden burst of energy startled the players in front of their screens, who were not prepared.
They never imagined that what they were watching from the protagonist's perspective would be such a scene that almost killed them.
Within the narrow opening, vision is limited. This forces one to focus their gaze and concentrate.
Suddenly, a dead fish eye with its pupils rolled upwards appeared, which really scared the players in front of the screen out of their wits.
No one wants to look into the eyes of such a thing, because everyone knows it's a dead person.
Looking into the eyes of a dead person is definitely chilling.
Even though I knew in my heart before watching that it was Horror Games video and that there would be scary scenes.
But lacking proper torture, they didn't expect it to come so suddenly, leaving them defenseless.
However, this also reminded those watching the video of the middle-aged man's voice at the beginning of the video.
'We're trapped.'
'We have lost contact with the outside world.'
Everyone else is dying.
In the end, only I was left.
'The dead have returned'
That's right!
The dead have returned! That's the sentence!
I originally thought this sentence meant that the dead had turned into monsters or ghosts and came back to cause trouble for the protagonist.
But after what just happened, I was shocked to realize that the so-called 'dead person has returned'.
It might not be that simple!
However, players didn't think too much about it, since it was just a gameplay demo and they would wait until the game was released to discuss it further.
Perhaps by then, we'll understand what this "return of the dead" really means.
The video then shows the protagonist himself being so startled by the dead fish eye that he stumbles backward, falls to the ground, and yells "WTF!"
Then the door, which had been impossible to push open, suddenly creaked open, revealing a crack and an indescribable, deep darkness within.
In the real-time rendered animation, there is a dull thud as a heavy object hits the ground.
Players followed the protagonist's gaze and discovered a slender, eerie figure slowly rising in the dimly lit room.
That is
Banshee!
It went inside!
In the real-time calculation, the protagonist immediately gets up and crashes into the room whose door has been inexplicably opened from a first-person perspective.
He picked up the Shotgun from the ground with lightning speed, then turned around and, amidst his heavy breathing and pounding heart, seamlessly switched to player control.
Then came a notification.
Players watching the video took a closer look and realized that it was...
You have obtained Shotgun.
This is a weapon with a mysterious origin; you don't know who its user is, but the gun is real.
The prompt has disappeared; now it's time for the operation phase.
Seeing this, the players understood.
I see
I see!
This live demonstration shows how to acquire firearms!
It's important to know that in the original game, apart from the shotgun, which can only be obtained through side quests, all other weapons can only be acquired through crafting and looting.
Including Shotgun.
Now, in the VR version.
The Shotgun is obtained through an encounter event?
Furthermore, after acquiring firearms, they were just about to deal with the Banshee!
It's as if the development team deliberately arranged it so that players could obtain weapons through a short storyline and then test their firepower by fighting off attacking monsters in a crisis.
It seems this video not only showcases the new Banshee's night raid mechanics, but also makes the protagonist's acquisition of her weapon seem reasonable through a small encounter.
Unlike the original, which relied on either finding things or upgrading existing ones, making it seem like it was something it was born knowing without a teacher.
Sure enough, in the video, after the operation was restored, clear footsteps were immediately heard outside the dimly lit room.
Immediately afterwards, a slender, tall, and graceful black figure appeared in the doorway.
At that moment, their eyes met.
In the dim light of the forest, players in front of the screen could vaguely see the eerie black shadow slowly opening its arms from a first-person perspective, its armpit membranes spreading out like a bat in the dead of night.
The next second, there was a loud bang.
The protagonist fired a shot.
But at the same time, the scene changes.
The four large characters "Dark Forest" appear in a dry, dense forest.
No one knows what happened next, nor does anyone know if that shot was effective against the banshee.
In conclusion, the four-minute hands-on demonstration ends here.
After watching, the players in front of the screen smacked their lips, feeling slightly unsatisfied, and couldn't help but press the space bar to watch it a second time.
Simply because I'm so excited!
They never imagined that the development team would remake Dark Forest, nor did they ever think that they would live to see the second spring of the Horror Games revival!
I've played the original PC version of Dark Forest from a top-down perspective countless times.
I've basically figured out all the strategies and tactics, and I've fought all sorts of monsters.
Now, the development team has given players such a big surprise, truly raising the expectations of both original and new players.
Therefore, the release of the 4-minute and 22-second gameplay demo of Dark Forest immediately caused a stir in the gaming community.
In just about two hours, the number of views on the Danmu Network was incredibly high!
810,000 views, 670,000 likes, 87,000 coins, 110,000 favorites, and 41,000 shares.
While these figures aren't as impressive as previous game trailers, achieving this level of success within two hours is still incredibly remarkable!
Keep in mind that this is a game demo video.
It wasn't some awkward thing those streamers with millions of followers did.
In other people's videos, if you want to achieve this kind of data within 2 hours, there are probably only a handful of videos on the entire site that can meet the target.
Only some content creators with millions of followers who use outrageous content can achieve that.
And as of now, there are still over 1000 people watching.
There are a total of 5744 bullet comments!
There are a total of 6451 comments!
As soon as the video starts, colorful text floats around.
"Heavens above! Earth below! Sea below! I've finally waited for you!"
"Shuo Guang is awesome! Only Game is awesome! This is a remake?! This game needs to show game companies around the world what a 'remake' really is!"
"In the past, other companies' games were called HD remasters with high-definition textures. Now, Only Game has truly defined the word 'remaster'!"
"Surely no one actually confuses a reset with a remake?"
"Wow, this (cute girl) looks so realistic! Is it a game? It looks so scary! I don't dare to play it!"
"Awesome—(voice cracks). I thought it was just a copy of the original game, but I didn't expect so much new content!! I can't take it anymore, I'm so excited I can't breathe!!!"
"New storyline, wow! Open world map, wow! New monsters, wow! This is definitely another masterpiece!"
"I've completed the original game four times already, and played through tons of mods. I can tell a monster is about to fart even before it raises its hand. Now, after watching the VR version, I feel like my lost youth has returned!!!"
"I wonder if the new plot is related to the Federal Bureau of Control. I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Is this some kind of exaggeration? This game has only been out for about a year. Strictly speaking, it's still a relatively new game."
"As a newbie who's too scared to even finish the game, I was discouraged by the original Banshee... Now that I've seen the new Banshee... I feel like I'm going to have to rely on guessing games again."
"Stop with the nonsense, when is it coming out? When is it coming out? When is it coming out?"
"Based on my reasoning, the Only Game are usually released within 7 days after the trailer is released, so I conclude that this should be the case as well."
"The Only Game YYDS! Shuo Guang YYDS!"
As it turns out, the trademark announcement incident by Infinite Network Entertainment did not change people's opinions about Only Game.
Most of the original fun-loving people disappeared without a trace after receiving an apology notice.
This has attracted the attention of people outside the gaming community who don't play games, or don't play single-player games, thus increasing the company's brand awareness.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the ongoing buzz surrounding the event and the continued public interest, the release of the VR version of "Dark Forest" generated an explosive surge in traffic!
This game became known to people both inside and outside the gaming community.
Especially for those outside the circle, when they hear "Dark Forest," they may be completely bewildered and full of questions.
But as soon as you mention Only Game, they suddenly realize, "Oh, so that's the game company that made Infinite Network Entertainment apologize!"
Even though these people may not play games, they still know about these things and become potential users.
Soon, within 24 hours of the release of the 4-minute gameplay demo of Dark Forest, numerous discussion posts appeared on various platforms.
In addition to the popular games at E3 Expo and the announcement of Dead Space.
Players have already dubbed 2023 the year of epic battles.
This news quickly reached President An of Jiyou Network.
As the company's CEO, he naturally couldn't allow the competitor's work to gain such high popularity online.
Especially around the time that Bloody Scientist is about to be released!
Therefore, in order to gain more attention for the game and to avoid clashing with competitors.
He made a decision.
That is.
Delayed!
Reverse delay, early release!
It's so sweet. I've only been home a few days and three matchmakers have already come to my door.
