Chapter 800 Overwatch

Blizzard's CG quality is well-known both inside and outside the industry.

From the earliest 3D animation of World of Warcraft, to the classic old-world promotional CG, and now to the current "Double Dragon".

Technology and graphics are improving step by step, but what remains unchanged is the excitement and excitement.

As the first wave of promotional CG for Overwatch, "Double Dragon" has undoubtedly had an excellent effect in attracting people into the game.

The grudge between the archer brother and the mecha samurai brother, as well as the two's opposing ultimate moves, and the passionate scene when the two dragons collide, all make people want to play.

And the gameplay recording that followed immediately brought this desire to its peak.

An eight-minute long in-game video fully demonstrates how the game is played to all viewers.

Including the character's positioning, skills, talent system, as well as the mode and winning method of each game.

In less than half an hour, the number of hits exceeded one million.

Zhihu highlighted the answer:

“I boldly predict that this game will become a hit, even impacting the status of League of Legends!

The idea of ​​merging gunplay and moba is really genius. Although League of Legends and Dota 2 have been popular for so many years, no one can extend it.

But Luo Quan is such a genius who brings surprises to everyone. The game Overwatch will definitely leave its own unique mark in the history of games! "

The wording of this answer is quite disgusting, and it has received quite a lot of likes and echoes.

But now game fans don't want to hear these useless compliments, they just want to play the game immediately.

Three days is really too long. To use Luo Quan's song to express the fans' mood at this moment, that is: as soon as the heart beats, love begins to suffer, every minute, every second.

Luo Quan, on the other hand, started the live broadcast with a smile.

"If you don't ask me, there's no point begging me. It's scheduled to go live on New Year's Day, so I don't mean I can change it if I want.

Also, this game doesn’t depend on configuration, but in a gunfight game, your keyboard, mouse, and monitor are very important, so you know, I won’t go into too much detail here, lest I say I’m advertising. "

Luo Quan himself uses a 2k 240 Hz monitor, and the keyboard and mouse are Corsair K50 plus the famous G502, which is a relatively mid-range configuration.

The reason why the mouse g502 is so famous is mainly because this mouse is quite heavy. Netizens joked that it takes only one or two years to build a unicorn arm.

However, Luo Quan likes this kind of heavier mouse, mainly because she has strong hands. If the mouse is too light, it will feel a little floaty in the hand.

Of course, this kind of mouse may be great for playing LoL, but if it is used for playing FPS, it may be a bit heavy, so its own configuration is not suitable for fans who are about to get involved in Overwatch.

Waiting is always painful, but if there is something to distract your attention, the time will actually pass quickly.

Fortunately, these days happened to be the days when the martial arts league leaders competed for the provincial championship.

Five games each day starting at 4 p.m.

As the intensity of the competition intensified, the players also showed their true abilities. So far, they have presented several exciting matches that are no less than the previous Buddhist and Taoist duels.

After this provincial final is over, the first half of the Wulin Leaders Conference will be over.

In the second half, the champions of each province will continue to compete until the national champion is determined, which is the "Chinese Wulin Leader".

Although the name may sound bluffing, the value of it can only be said to be in the eye of the beholder, after all, the Taoist priests and monks on the famous mountains have not yet left the mountain.

Everyone knows that the monks are often the most violent.

However, most of these people are indifferent to fame and fortune, and it is probably difficult for them to go out and show their abilities to the people.

In comparison, these martial arts leaders who punch one another on TV are actually more influential.

It was also because of the distraction of the provincial championship game that Luo Quan's fans were less bombarded by many game fans, because they were busy bragging to others about the strength of their idol warriors.

As the last day of 2019 was coming to an end, Luo Quan ended the New Year party that was almost coming to an end, clicked on the Overwatch icon, and began to enter his account password.

screen display:

There are still 3 minutes and 15 seconds until the official launch of the server, please wait patiently.

"Luo Bao has also qualified for the test. He is so lucky."

"???"

"Is there a possibility that she is the boss of Blizzard Studio and can get it without robbing?"

"It is indeed possible, but..."

"But what a ghost."

"It's uncomfortable. I rented an Internet cafe but couldn't get the test qualification. In the end, I bought it at a high price."

"Holy shit, Internet cafe brother, you're here."

"Not being able to grab it means that there are too many people who want to play the game this time, and the denominator is too big."

“I feel like if this game is well run, it won’t be much worse than League of Legends.”

"To tell a ghost story, Overwatch's domestic operation is Penguin."

"Ah this..."

………………

With the words of fans, the Overwatch server was launched.

Penguin's server, although there are occasional accidents.

But on such a big day when the server is launched, it will never fall off.

The stress test has been done many times before, so there were no problems at all when starting the server this time.

Luo Quan entered the game interface in the first second of the new year of 2020.

"You can only play after you have reached level 10. Let's play matching first to familiarize everyone with the characters and game mechanics."

Luo Quan said, clicking on the matching mode and entering in seconds.

"Heading to Route 66." A female prompt sounded inside the game.

"Oh, it's this picture." Luo Quan smiled. This was a picture she liked very much.

It is open, bright, and the American western style is quite distinctive.

"Which hero do you want to see me play?" Luo Quan moved his hand back and forth among more than twenty characters.

In her previous life, the best ones she played were Black and White and Junkrat, but she had played for hundreds of hours anyway. Even if the other characters were not specialized, there was still no problem in using them to torture novices.

"Genji! Genji! This character looks very handsome at first glance. I want to see what his skills are like."

"Angel, I always feel like this character is modeled on your face."

"I want to see Luo Bao play that Roadhog, hiahia."

"I wonder what you're implying."

"Xiao Fei Ju."

"It's all fine. It's recommended to play a new hero every time. Anyway, you won't lose points when matching."

………………

Under the strong suggestion of Danmu, Luo Quan chose Genji, the most popular character in Overwatch since the release of Double Dragon CG.

The dragon he waved when he drew his sword was so handsome, and paired with that second explosive line, it was just a boy's dream.

After the character was selected, Luo Quan entered the game.

Fortunately, it is still in the development stage. Players basically choose players based on their own preferences and do not consider the rationality of the lineup at all.

Because the good-looking characters are basically nannies and damage dealers, and tanks are generally not good-looking, so there are no choices for them.

It was only after Luo Quan persuaded him by typing that one of the DPS was replaced by a tank.

The lineup became a little more reasonable, and Luo Quan started jumping at the door.

"Haha, I feel like these people who play FPS can't walk normally."

"Indeed, when I play CrossFire, I feel uncomfortable without dancing."

"What is walking? Aren't w and space connected together? (dog head)"

"This is a manifestation of technology. When you are shooting against someone, it can make it difficult for others to aim."

"Let's see how Luo Bao's shooting is today. What about Genji's gun?"

"Yeah, why doesn't Genji have a gun?"

………………

After seeing the barrage question, Luo Quan replied: "Genji's long-range attack is to throw darts. The left button is to throw three darts in a straight line, which has the highest damage. The right button is to throw three in a fan, which has a wider range and better hits."

His E skill is to enter a blocking stance, become immune to all long-range attacks and skills, and return them all?

The Shift skill is to dash forward and slash, and it will be refreshed after killing the enemy. The ultimate skill is to enter melee combat, which is extremely painful! "

Luo Quan said while pressing the skill to demonstrate, letting fans know a rough idea.

Fans also discussed in the barrage:

"It sounds like it's very demanding."

"I just like this kind of challenging hero."

"The skills feel a little stitched."

"Don't be able to sew just by looking at a few keywords."

"At least I'll wait until Luo Quan plays it before commenting."

………………

Luo Quan always ignored these seemingly rhythmic barrages. She blinked and focused all her attention on the game.

In this game, they pushed the cart first, and the opponent was already outside the door preparing to defend.

Because they were all newbies, there were several enemies blocking the door and firing their guns constantly.

As the countdown began, Luo Quan also put his finger on the E key.

Luo Quan knows how to deal with these newbies.

"4,3,2,1"

The game starts and the door opens.

The enemy's attacks instantly shot into the safe house. Luo Quan immediately pressed the E key to rebound, eating almost all the attacks and then sending them all back to their faces.

"Double kill!"

The soldiers on the opposite side, 76 and Tracer, died suddenly on the scene. Hanzo was also reduced to residual health. Luo Quan sprinted and took his head.

"Three kills!"

The barrage instantly became excited:

"Holy shit, that's awesome. I got three kills at the beginning."

"Cunning Luobao."

"The person on the other side was too upright and blocked the door and fired."

"If you don't understand skills, if you suffer a loss now, you won't lose it in the future."

"Everyone has to be a newbie."

"Holy shit, this ultimate move is almost a third better?"

"The talent bar has improved by 60%. I feel like this is going to be a great game."

………………

Amidst the exclamations of the barrage, Luo Quan directly turned on the killing god mode.

Because they are all novices, the opponent basically chooses a crispy output. When encountering her, they will swipe towards her without thinking, and will be directly disabled by her rebound, and then kill them with a sprint.

After a while, her ultimate energy tank was full.

"Fans, it's show time!"

Luo Quan squatted at a high place, and when he saw the enemies appearing in a group, he directly pressed his ultimate move.

"Dragon God's 剣を喰らえ

Try the Dragon God's Blade! "

Luo Quan and Genji shouted loudly together, even louder than Boruto.

Coincidentally, her nanny Anna also unleashed her ultimate move on her:

"You've been strengthened, come on!"

"I'll go, this Anna knows how to play." Luo Quan didn't expect this teammate to be so cooperative, so he praised him excitedly.

Then, with the addition of the two ultimate moves, Luo Quan wielded the blue and green Dragon God's Blade, killing everyone in the crowd.

The sprint that constantly refreshes the cooldown makes her like a dancer, leaving phantoms in the air.

A few seconds later, with the sound of six exciting kills, there was no more enemy in front of Luo Quan.

"66666666!"

"Damn, this ultimate move is kind of cool."

"The impact is so exciting, I have decided to specialize in Genji after the open beta!"

"This technique is so powerful, I can just chase the opponent and kill him."

"The ultimate move will be ready again later."

"I didn't even have enough time to show my talent."

………………

The talent is really not there yet.

However, the technical gap is so big that it doesn't matter if you can't point it out.

However, as a system that is different from the original Overwatch, talent is crucial to character improvement.

Each character can activate up to five levels of talents, and they are not linear, but spread out in a fan-shaped manner. Each one can be selected, but a maximum of five levels can be activated.

In addition, talents that have been lit can also be replaced, but only half of the talent energy slot will be returned.

As for the choice of each talent, it mainly depends on your position in this game.

For example, if you want to deal damage with Genji or Luo Quan, you should choose talents that increase damage, such as increasing the damage of darts, making the ultimate last longer, and attacking faster.

But if you want to play a tank, you can click on those that increase health, block becomes range block but the damage is black, or have damage reduction during the ultimate move.

In short, there are quite a lot of choices, and each hero has up to fifteen talents to choose from.

In fact, these are the same as the equipment in League of Legends. The more you choose, the stronger your combat effectiveness will be.

Players with high skills can quickly obtain talent points to increase their combat power, and then form a crushing game.

Of course, it is still in the A-test stage, and the talents of many characters will be too powerful and need to be weakened based on player feedback.

In short, Luo Quan’s original intention was to make Overwatch’s game content more diverse and interesting.

As for whether players will buy it or not, we will probably find out tomorrow morning.

In short, most of the big anchors on major live broadcast platforms are playing Overwatch, and the number of viewers is also overwhelming.

Judging from player feedback, Overwatch has clearly made them experience the fun.

The barrage is full of:

What kind of game is this anchor playing?

This character is kind of cool.

Is it a new game? Where can I download it?

Free or paid?

Questions like these prove that the curiosity of passers-by has been ignited.

The number of reservations on the official website has also skyrocketed from more than 4 million before to 9 million!

Penguin’s Overwatch operations department is already popping the champagne.

Almost all Blizzard Studio employees are playing Overwatch at home.

They wanted to see how much fun this child created by their own hands really was.
