Chapter 790: Overwatch
Blizzard's CG quality is well-known both inside and outside the industry.
From the earliest World of Warcraft 3D animation, to the classic old-world promotional CG, to the current "Double Dragon."
Technology and visuals are improving step by step, but what remains unchanged is that passionate and moving feeling.
This "Double Dragon" as the first wave of promotional CG for Overwatch undoubtedly played an excellent role in drawing people into the pit.
The grievances between the archer brother and the mecha samurai brother, as well as the passionate scene when both opened their ultimate moves and the double dragons collided, all made people want to play.
And the subsequent game gameplay recording pushed this desire to the peak.
An eight-minute in-game video fully displayed the gameplay of this game to all the audience.
Including character positioning, skills, talent system, as well as the mode and winning method of each game.
In less than half an hour, the click volume exceeded one million.
Zhihu highlighted answer:
"I boldly predict that this game will become a hit, even impacting the status of League of Legends!"
"Integrating gunfights and MOBA, this idea is simply too genius. League of Legends and Dota 2 have been popular for so many years, yet no one has been able to extend on this."
"But Miss Luo Quan is such a genius who brings surprises to everyone; the game Overwatch will definitely leave its unique mark in game history!"
This answer used very nauseating words, and the likes and agreement received were also quite a lot.
However, game fans don't want to hear these useless praises now; they just want to play the game immediately.
Three days is simply too long. To express the fans' mood at this moment with Miss Luo Quan's song, it is: "Heart jumps, the wait begins to be torment, every minute, every second."
And Miss Luo Quan was live broadcasting with a laugh.
"Don't beg me; it's useless even if you beg me. It's set to go online on New Year's Day; it's not that I can change it if I want to."
"Also, some games don't eat configuration, but for gunfight games, your keyboard, mouse, and monitor are all very important, so you know, I won't talk much here, lest you say I'm advertising."
Miss Luo Quan herself uses a 2k 240Hz monitor, and the keyboard and mouse are Corsair K50 plus the famous G502, which is considered a mid-range configuration.
And the reason why the G502 mouse is famous is mainly because this mouse is quite heavy, and netizens jokingly call it a 'Qilin arm' after using it for a year or two.
However, Miss Luo Quan likes this kind of heavy mouse, mainly because she has great strength; if the mouse is too light, the feel will be a bit floating.
Of course, this kind of mouse might be very good for playing LOL, but if it is used for FPS, it might be a bit heavy, so her own configuration is not suitable for fans who are about to enter Overwatch.
Waiting is always tormenting, but if there is something that can divert attention, time will actually pass very quickly.
Fortunately, these few days happened to be the days for the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Assembly to compete for the provincial championship.
Starting at 4 PM, five games every day.
With the intensification of the competition, the contestants have also displayed their true skills one after another, and so far, several wonderful games no less than the previous Buddha-Dao duel have been presented.
After this provincial final is finished, the first half of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Assembly will be over.
And the second half will be the champions of each province continuing to duel until the national champion is decided, which is the "Chinese Martial Arts Alliance Leader."
Although the name is bluffing, the gold content can only be said to be a matter of opinion, after all, those Daoist high monks on famous mountains haven't come out of the mountains yet.
Everyone knows that those who are usually the most fierce in martial arts are these monks.
However, most of these people are indifferent to fame and wealth, and it is estimated that it is difficult for them to come out of the mountains to show their skills to the common people.
By comparison, these martial arts alliance leaders who fought punch by punch on TV are actually more influential.
It is precisely because of the provincial championship competition that Miss Luo Quan's fans also had much less bombardment from game fans, because they were all busy going to brag about the strength of their idol martial artists to others.
As the last day of 2019 was about to pass, Miss Luo Quan ended the New Year's party that was almost coming to an end, clicked on the Overwatch icon, and started entering the account password.
Screen display:
3 minutes and 15 seconds until the official server opening, please wait patiently.
"Luo Bao also grabbed the test qualification, the luck is really too good."
"???"
"Is there a possibility that she is the boss of Blizzard Studio and doesn't need to grab it to get it?"
"There is indeed such a possibility, but..."
"But a ghost."
"Uncomfortable, I packed an internet cafe and didn't grab the test qualification, and finally bought it at a high price."
"Damn, internet cafe brother, you're here."
"Not grabbing it means there are simply too many people who want to play the game this time, the denominator is too large."
"I feel that if this game is operated well, it won't be much worse than League of Legends."
"Tell a ghost story, Overwatch's domestic operation is Penguin."
"Ah this..."
………………
Amidst the fans' words, Overwatch opened the server.
Penguin's server, although there will be some accidents occasionally.
But on such a big day of server opening, it never drops the chain.
Stress testing had been done many times before, so there was absolutely no problem with this server opening.
Miss Luo Quan entered the game interface in the first second of the beginning of 2020.
"Ranked matches can only be played after level 10; let's play some matches to bring everyone to familiarize themselves with the characters and game mechanics."
Miss Luo Quan said and clicked on the matching mode, then entered in seconds.
"Heading to Route 66." The female prompt sound inside the game sounded.
"Oh, it's this map." Miss Luo Quan smiled; this is a map she likes very much.
Open, bright, and the American Western style is also quite distinctive.
"Who do you want to see me play?" Miss Luo Quan's hand moved back and forth between more than twenty characters.
In her previous life, the ones she played best were Widowmaker and Junkrat, but she had played for hundreds of hours anyway, and it was no problem to take other characters out to bully novices even if she wasn't specialized.
"Genji! Genji! This character looks very cool, I want to see what the skills are like."
"Mercy, I always feel that this character is modeled on your face."
"I want to see Luo Bao play that Roadhog, hiahia."
"I suspect you are implying something."
"Little fatty."
"Anything is fine, it is recommended to play a new hero every game, anyway, matching doesn't lose points."
………………
Under the strong suggestion of the barrage, Miss Luo Quan chose Genji, the character with the highest popularity after the release of the Double Dragon CG.
The dragon he swung when drawing the sword was simply too cool, and matched with that line that was off the charts in terms of 'chuunibyou', it was simply a boy's dream, okay.
After the character was selected, Miss Luo Quan entered the game.
Fortunately, in the pioneering stage, players basically choose people based on their own preferences, without considering the rationality of the lineup at all.
Because good-looking characters are basically milkers and outputs, the appearance of tanks is generally not very good, so no one chose them.
It was still Miss Luo Quan who typed to persuade, which made an output change to a tank.
The lineup was slightly more reasonable, and Miss Luo Quan began to jump at the door.
"Haha, I feel like these people playing FPS won't walk normally."
"That's true, I play CrossFire, I'm not comfortable if I don't jump."
"What is walking? Aren't W and spacebar connected? (dog head)"
"This is the embodiment of technology, okay; when dueling with people, it can make it difficult for others to aim."
"Let's see Luo Bao's marksmanship today; by the way, where is Genji's gun?"
"Yeah, why doesn't Genji have a gun?"
………………
Seeing the questions in the barrage, Miss Luo Quan replied: "Genji's long-range attack is throwing shurikens. The left button is a three-burst in a straight line, with the highest damage. The right button is throwing three in a fan shape, with a larger range and easier to hit.
His E skill is to enter a blocking posture, immune to all long-range attacks and skills, and return them all?
The Shift skill is a forward dash slash, which refreshes after killing an enemy, and the ultimate move is to enter melee, with super painful normal attacks!"
Miss Luo Quan said while pressing the skills to demonstrate, letting the fans know a general idea.
And the fans also discussed in the barrage:
"Sounds like it's very operation-intensive."
"I like this kind of challenging hero."
"The skills feel a bit stitched."
"Don't see a few keywords and say it's stitched, okay."
"At least wait until Miss Luo Quan plays before evaluating."
………………
For these barrage messages suspected of bringing rhythm, Miss Luo Quan never paid attention to them, blinked, and her attention was all focused on the game.
In this game, they pushed the cart first, and the opposite side was already guarding outside the door preparing to defend.
Because they were all novices, several enemies were blocking outside the door, shooting non-stop.
As the countdown started, Miss Luo Quan also put her finger on the E key.
These newbies—Miss Luo Quan knew all too well how to deal with them.
"4, 3, 2, 1"
The game started, and the door opened.
The enemy's attack shot into the safe house instantly, Miss Luo Quan immediately pressed the E key to bounce back, took almost all the attacks, and sent them all back to their faces.
"Double kill!"
The opposite Soldier: 76 and Tracer died on the spot, Hanzo also became low health, Miss Luo Quan directly took his head with a dash.
"Triple kill!"
The barrage became excited instantly:
"Damn, awesome, got a triple kill at the beginning."
"Cunning Luo Bao."
"The opposite side is also too straightforward, blocking the door and shooting."
"Not understanding the skills is like this; eat losses now, and you won't in the future."
"Everyone has a time when they are novices."
"Damn, the ultimate move is already one-third full?"
"The talent bar is already sixty percent full, I feel like this game is going to be a refreshing game."
………………
Amidst the exclamation of the barrage, Miss Luo Quan directly opened the killing god mode.
Because they were all novices, the opposite side basically chose brittle outputs, met her and scanned over with a brainless burst, were directly beaten to disability by her bounce back, and then taken away with a dash.
Before long, her ultimate energy bar was full.
"Fans, the next is performance time!"
Miss Luo Quan squatted in a high place, and when she saw the enemies appearing in a pile, she directly pressed the ultimate move.
"Ryūjin no ken o kurae!"
"Taste the Dragonblade!"
Miss Luo Quan and Genji shouted together, even more passionate than Boruto.
Coincidentally, the teammate Ana also released her ultimate move on her:
"You're powered up, get in there!"
"Damn, this Ana knows how to play." Miss Luo Quan didn't expect this teammate to be so cooperative and praised excitedly.
Then, under the bonus of two ultimate moves, Miss Luo Quan waved the blue and green Dragonblade and killed all sides in the crowd.
The constantly refreshed dash made her like a dancer, leaving phantoms in the air.
A few seconds later, with an excited six-kill sound, there was no enemy in front of Miss Luo Quan.
"66666666!"
"Damn, this ultimate move is a bit cool."
"The sense of strike is simply refreshing, I decided, specialize in Genji after the public beta!"
"This technology is too strong, simply chasing and killing the opposite side."
"The ultimate move is ready again in a while."
"Even the talent didn't have time to click."
………………
The talent really hasn't been clicked.
However, the technical gap is so large that it doesn't matter if you don't click it.
However, as a system separated from the original Overwatch, talent is crucial to the improvement of characters.
Each character can click up to five layers of talents, and it is not linear, but unfolds in a fan shape. Each one can be chosen, but at most five can be lit up.
In addition, lit-up talents can also be replaced, but only half of the talent energy bar will be returned.
As for the choice of each talent, it mainly depends on the positioning you take in this game.
For example, Genji, if Miss Luo Quan wants to play output this game, she clicks those talents that add damage, such as shuriken damage adding a few points, longer ultimate move time, faster attack speed, etc.
But if you want to play a tank, you can click those that add health, change blocking to range blocking but damage is black, or have damage reduction during the ultimate move, etc.
In short, there are many choices, and each hero has up to fifteen talents to choose from.
Actually, these are the same as the equipment in League of Legends; the more you choose, the stronger the combat power.
And players with high technology can quickly obtain talent points to improve combat power, and then form a crushing game.
Of course, it is still in the A-test stage, and many characters' talents will appear too powerful, needing to be weakened according to player feedback.
In short, Miss Luo Quan's original intention is that Overwatch's game content can be more diverse and interesting.
As for whether players buy it, it will probably be clear tomorrow morning.
In short, the big anchors of major live broadcast platforms are basically playing Overwatch, and the number of viewers is also bursting.
Judging from player feedback, Overwatch has clearly let them experience the fun.
The barrage is full of:
Anchor, what game is this?
This character is a bit cool.
New game? Where to download?
Is it free or paid?
Questions like this prove that the curiosity of passersby has been ignited.
And the number of reservations on the official website has also skyrocketed from more than four million before to nine million!
The Overwatch operation department of Penguin Company is already opening champagne at this time.
And the employees of Blizzard Studio are almost all playing Overwatch at home.
They want to see how fun this child they created with their own hands is. ===== CHAPTER 791 =====
