Chapter 786 The World Needs More Heroes

"'Joker' peels off all disguises and exposes all the filth and malice of Gotham society to people."

This was the headline published by the New York Daily News after the release of "Joker".

The article praised "Joker" for its bold transformation in the genre of superhero movies, using a more realistic and depth-oriented approach to present an extremely excellent work to the audience.

Perhaps it is not as refreshing as the viewing experience of other superhero movies, but the stamina it brings is definitely unique, and it will be unforgettable even after half a month.

In addition, Luo Quan's acting skills in the movie became another peak for her after winning the Oscar.

Becoming famous at a young age did not make her slack off. People's previous fears that she would decline because her life was too smooth turned out to be unfounded.

She has proved with facts that her excellence does not only come from talent, but also includes diligence and dedication in her creative work.

Of course, it would be better if she could work harder on her creative frequency.

As long as she maintains the habit of staying at home for a period of time after releasing a work, people will always worry about whether she has become lazy because of her fame.

Luo Quan herself said that laziness is a bad habit, but she seems to be unable to quit it.

………………

It's a good thing to be famous in the New York Daily News. Luo Quan was originally happy to see how these writers flattered her, but in the end, they ended up cueing her for being lazy.

Speaking of which, recent fan opinion has described her as the incarnation of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Arrogance: She never cooperates with anyone other than family and friends, and any brand that wants to find her will be ignored.

Greed: When playing LoL or Dota 2, he becomes a slave of iron points. If he can demolish the base, he will never abuse the spring. He will smile when the wind is flowing, and mmp when the wind is blowing.

Angry: Fans will be banned if they don't agree with each other, and there are a few days every month when they transform into red water beasts. Whoever dares to do so at this time will be in trouble.

Lust: She is so beautiful, and she drives openly during the live broadcast, which is really hard for fans to tolerate.

Jealousy: I don’t look down on my peers. Every time they release an album, other singers are punished.

Gluttony: Ever since I stopped trying to control my body shape, my appetite has been increasing day by day. I eat more than the average boy. What a fat guy!

Laziness: There is no need to elaborate on this. It is simply Luo Quan’s biggest crime since his debut. He is incredibly lazy. He has been a homebody for thousands of years and will never leave home unless necessary.

As mentioned above, Luo Quan gathered the Seven Deadly Sin Sects, and his crimes were extremely heinous, which finally aroused the crusade of the righteous among the fans.

Faced with this, Luo Quan banned them all for a week.

Under such a brutal rule, fans really dare not speak out in anger.

Of course, the above are all jokes made by fans, and making harmless jokes with Luo Quan has become part of the fun of the interaction between her and her fans.

This time "Joker" brought her both fame and fortune, and fans did not urge her to release any new works in the second half of this year.

But the less expected Luo Quan is, the more surprises he can bring to people.

Because you never know when she will surprise people.

Ten days after "Joker" was released, the global box office exceeded US$700 million, and the momentum continues unabated. Professionals analyze that the total box office is likely to exceed US$1.5 billion.

The previous box office of "Forrest Gump" was US$2.2 billion, and it is currently the box office champion in 2019.

The subject matter of "Joker" is too heavy. Although it is quite profound and critical, it also sacrifices a lot of commerciality, so it is very normal that the final box office cannot compare with "Forrest Gump".

However, the performance of US$1.5 billion is already quite good. Compared with its cost, Warner can be said to have made a lot of money this time.

After staying at home for ten days, Luo Quan secretly revealed a bombshell to his fans while live streaming.

"The world needs more heroes!"

In the morning, Luo Quan added a one-minute video to his submission.

When you click on the video, the first thing that appears is the Blizzard logo covered in a frost crack, and then an icon.

The icon is a silver ring with an orange top, and inside the ring there is an extended logo that looks like hands clasped together.

Not long after the icon appeared, a string of Chinese characters highlighted below: Overwatch.

In the next forty seconds, more than a dozen characters with different skin colors and costumes with regional and national characteristics appeared.

There are archers wearing Japanese samurai uniforms with dragon tattoos on their bodies.

There were burly men wearing thick coats.

In addition, there are black men with audio weapons, Asian ladies riding cute mechas, and handsome men dressed as Western cowboys.

The elements are quite complete, the politics are very correct, and almost no group is left behind.

At first glance, fans thought this was an animated trailer for Luo Quanzheng's world unity.

It wasn't until Luo Quan aired that fans learned that this was actually a game trailer in progress.

"It's indeed a game. It's called Overwatch." Luo Quan said simply in front of fans' excited questions.

"If you have any questions, ask them one by one. I can answer whatever you can."

Luo Quan currently doesn't have the energy to hold a Blizzard Carnival, so he just holds a press conference in the live broadcast room.

"What kind of game is this? The modeling looks very good. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful."

"Is it stand-alone or online?"

"Is it fun?"

………………

This is the question that fans are most concerned about. Luo Quan summarized it and began to answer it one by one:

“First of all, this is a free first-person shooting game with 6v6 fair competition, but it is not a simple draw and shoot game like CrossFire or CSGO.

Each character has its own unique skills and ultimate moves, and these different skills determine their positioning, that is, tanks, output, and nannies.

In addition, each character also has a talent system. If you participate in a kill, assist or achieve a strategic goal in the game, you can obtain talent points for upgrading. "

"Holy crap, isn't this the FPS version of League of Legends?"

"Sounds interesting, I want to play."

"Just for the female characters in the CG trailer, I must also participate in the closed beta!"

"It feels a bit strange to stitch, and I'm probably not a stroke master like me."

"Sewing shit, isn't this the first time that this kind of skill combined with gun battles has appeared in a multiplayer battle?"

"It feels quite advanced. As expected of you, Luo Bao."

………………

Because this is indeed the first time this kind of game has appeared, fans have shown a strong desire to play it.

And here in Luoquan, some changes have actually been made to the game.

The original Overwatch did not have a talent system. Whether a person plays well depends on his marksmanship, but it is useless no matter how good a person's marksmanship is. If you want to win the game, other team members must be talented.

This also makes it difficult for players with good skills to gain a sense of accomplishment from crushing their opponents in the game.

In this regard, lol has done very well.

You can gain economy by killing people, replenishing troops, and pushing down towers. High economy translates into better equipment. When you get up, it's a direct one-on-two-one-on-three game.

In LoL, it is very easy to win the game if you are technically overwhelmed. Sometimes you can still get points with one god and four pits.

And often the game won in this case will bring greater satisfaction.

So Luo Quan fully considered this and added a talent system to Overwatch.

Talent points can be understood as gold coins, and each hero's talent selection can become equipment.

In the game, the more people the player kills, the more talent points he can obtain, which are then converted into combat power, creating a positive cycle.

And the variety of talents also makes the positioning of each hero no longer single.

A nanny can be more than just a nanny, and can also rely on talent transformation to provide output.

The output can not only be a crispy output, but can also be in front of the team to take damage and be unparalleled.

Of course, the more complex the game is, the more difficult it is to balance.

And it’s not clear whether the players will take advantage of this. Everything will not be known until the internal testing of the game is carried out.

"So where is the game now? When can we play it?"

This is the second important question raised by the barrage.

"The folder has been created." Luo Quan chuckled: "Actually, the modeling of some characters has been completed, and the game map is currently being modeled.

Unlike League of Legends, Overwatch has many maps and many game modes, including carting, capturing points, attacking, etc.

The graphics of this game may not be as refined as Final Fantasy, but the playability is definitely not bad, and because it is PVP, there is very little homogeneous content, and every game is a new experience.

The current development focus of Blizzard Studio is Overwatch. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will be able to see the closed beta version during the Spring Festival. "

It's early October, four months until the Chinese New Year.

Compared with Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft, which were completed in more than half a year, Overwatch is much faster.

But it’s normal. After all, the size is small. The first two games are often more than 100 G. And compared with League of Legends, the size of Overwatch is probably not much different.

If the game is too big, the configuration requirements will increase, and there will naturally be fewer computers that can play it.

However, fans still have considerable trust in Blizzard Studio’s Unreal Engine.

This is one of the best engines in the world. It is fast and well optimized. It can be adapted to civilian consoles and can also achieve ultra-high image quality at the movie level.

To sum up, this game will be available to everyone soon, and it will probably bring surprises to everyone.

"There is only so much information that can be revealed at the moment. As development progresses, I will continue to announce character pictures and game content. Everyone can just wait and see.

Also, don’t ask if this game charges money. Just like Dota 2, all heroes are free, but skins require payment. "Luo Quan basically told the fans everything he needed to say.

"Will the skin add ten attack points?"

At this time, a funny guy suddenly asked, and the barrage immediately started to stir:

"What the hell, Nong?"

"Haha, this is too classic, but 10 points of attack power are really useless for King of Glory. Overall, it is fair."

"By the way, who will run Overwatch? It won't be Penguin again, right?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't Penguin? With this huge social ecosystem, even a trashy game can still become popular. (Not talking about Overwatch)"

"That's true, and Penguin is quite experienced in operating such games. League of Legends is an example. The competition is now in full swing."

"Indeed, the market gap can be filled now. League of Legends is responsible for 2.5D Moba, and Overwatch is responsible for 3D shooting Moba."

"Since the game characters are based on a real country, I hope to add a few more Chinese characters, such as the Monkey King and the Sword Immortal, which would be great."

"Heroes see the same thing!"

………………

Judging from the comments of fans, although Penguin has a bad reputation in China, many things it does are really criticized.

However, it is indeed second to none in terms of ecology. With the bonus of Penguin account, a game can be extended from playing alone to attracting classmates and friends.

This is how King of Glory became popular in the first place.

There were actually several MOBA mobile games that were better than it at the same time, but they were all gradually eliminated due to lack of social interaction.

As for King of Glory, you can easily get classmates to play in double queue, and over time, the number of users will increase.

Now, it has become the most profitable game in the world, with an annual revenue of more than 40 billion, which is ridiculously higher than the annual revenue of many large companies. You can only imagine how strong its ability to attract money is.

She doesn't know whether Overwatch can do this. After all, there are not as many computers as mobile phones, and they can't be played anytime and anywhere like mobile phones.

But with Penguin as your back, you can indeed save a lot of effort in publicity.

However, it's not okay to just take it over.

Don't forget that Overwatch has the potential to be popular at first glance, but Penguin may not necessarily make it popular, even if it has the right to operate the game.

Similar situations have happened before. For many foreign games similar to League of Legends, Penguin will find ways to buy them, and then either not let players play them, or they will always be in closed beta.

The final result is that these games gradually become less popular, and in the end League of Legends is still a dominant player with almost no competitors.

As soon as Overwatch comes out, it will most likely affect the status of League of Legends. It’s unclear whether Penguin will give it the same attention.

This is different from the previous Final Fantasy and World of Warcraft. One is the first stand-alone game in China, and the other is Penguin's first point-and-click online game. No matter how popular it is, it will not affect its other games.

But Overwatch is different. If it becomes popular, it will inevitably cause the loss of League of Legends players.

Therefore, Luo Quan feels that Penguin may not be so willing to operate Overwatch with all its heart.

Even though the two parties had cooperated happily before, she was still an outsider after all.

And capital will never talk about feelings with her.

Therefore, she has been waiting for Zhou Yangwen's call.
