Chapter 138.1: Fucking Crazy Amazing Promotional Video...
The promotional trailer was only one minute long.
After all, it was a Promotional Video for baiting players, and there were not many scenes.
In the first 21 seconds scene, considering that the equipment level of the players and mutant human was too primitive and uninteresting, Chu Guang simply used a still camera to shoot the flying axes, javelins, arrows, and flames and bullets that shot out of the iron tube rifles in the sky. Each of them would have 2-second close-up slow motions.
And accompanied by slow and melodious classical music, it added a bit of dark humor to the brutal and bloody war picture.
At the 17 seconds mark, the background music suddenly stopped, the screen accelerated like an arrow released from the string, the frozen axes flew towards the player standing behind the cover, the bullets shot into the chest of the mutant human, and blood splattered everywhere.
At 18 seconds, a mutant human removed a car’s door, pulled out a dull, rusted knife, and charged with a roar.
The rhythm suddenly sped up!
Every frame and every second was so exciting!
In 3 seconds, the originally deadlocked battle situation exploded like a lit gunpowder keg.
At 0 minutes and 21 seconds, the situation of the players turned extremely dangerous, and they were about to face the mutant humans in a close battle. At this moment, the four marines clad in exoframes suddenly entered the battlefield from the side of the street like celestial soldiers!Electromagnetically accelerated metal projectiles caused a bloody storm on the street. The green-skinned muscular wild monsters wailed and fell, and the concrete walls and vehicle wreckage beside them were riddled with holes.
The battle turned into a one-sided slaughter in an instant!
The mutant humans on the street were killed one after another.
The last mutant human with the upper body naked roared and threw out the powder keg in his hand, symbolizing his final stand.
The focused lens gave a slow-motion close-up of the powder keg flying in mid-air. The bursting flames followed closely with a war boot that stepped out of the smoke and fire without injury, and a heavily fallen green-skinned corpse marked the climax of the impassioned heavy metal music!
As for the scene where one of the exoframes was hit by the bomb, Chu Guang certainly wouldn’t keep it in the Promotional Video to affect the overall rhythm.
With the fast-paced music, the exoframes went all the way from the main road to the alley between the ruins. A total of fifteen minutes of street fighting and the siege of the stronghold were all condensed into the essence of 30 seconds!
There were no boring scenes throughout the entire video!
In less than two minutes after the Promotional Video was uploaded, the comment area instantly flooded with hundreds of comments, and it continued to increase.
No One Understands Love: What the fuck?! Is this a game Promotional Video or a movie?!
Little Girl Trafficker: Stunned! It feels like a Hollywood blockbuster to me!
Extremely Delicious: This graphic and this effect… It’s freaking awesome!
Lightning Professor: Holy shit! This is the in-game footage? Or is it a separate CGI trailer? The destruction effect in this video is too awesome, and the flying stones are just like the real thing!
This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: Hehe, look at those ignorant people. I bet they must haven’t seen the world before. Which of those Bollywood IMAX blockbusters is not better than this one? It’s not me being condescending, it’s the way you are trying to praise this game is so embarrassing. Moreover, this CGI special effect is not even up to the standard in China, let alone the international level. I can pick out 200 unreasonable faults from this video alone. My uncle runs an animation company in Hang City, and any videos made by his interns are better than this.
Irene: Did I remember wrong? I thought your ancestor was from the prairie, and everyone you know could pull the string of a 500-pound bow? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer peeking at the screen, almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. Watching the dude trolling in the forum was almost a source of happiness for him every day.
Well… There was one thing the troll was wrong about.
After all, it was really not a special effect!
Every frame of this promotional video was taken by Little Seven controlling the drone under his command.
At most, he only edited the shooting material and added a some music and filter to make the visual impact of the film stronger.
However, Chu Guang did not expect that the pictures he shot would be mistaken for special effects by those netizens?
It seemed that he had a talent for directing.
Looking at hundreds of comments below the video, Chu Guang couldn’t help but smile.
He should make more in the future!
Sideline Slacking: Oh dang! They actually used the in-game footage! I was there!
Failed Successfully: In-game footage?! Brother, which one in the video was you?
Elf Wang: The one crouching on the ground.
Kakarot: Hahaha! Coward!
Sideline Slacking: Fuck off! I was changing gear, alright! (Angry)
Battlefield Cheerleader: Go watch the 21st second! The corpse on the ground was me! Haha, I’m in the promotional video!
Garbage: I just wanted to ask, can lizardmen wear this thing? QAQ
Roshan: Can bears wear it? QAQ
Garbage: Why do you need it? You don’t even go to the battlefield!
Irene: I don’t think it will be useful to you as well, so you might as well let me have it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Garbage: Screw you!
All the threads in the entire forum were discussing the Promotional Video with a total length of 1 minute and the high-tech equipment that appeared in it. The enthusiasm of it even surpassed the enthusiasm of Alpha 0.7 update!
It was actually quite understandable after thinking about it.
There were 10,000 or 20,000 IPs active on the entire forum, but only 250 have actually qualified for the alpha test and entered the game, and 150 new players were still waiting to enter the game.
Although it was empty promises, at this, the video looked freaking cool!
Chu Guang glanced at the comment area at the bottom of the video. Except for the praises and the recommendations of the alpha testers, the vast majority of non-alpha test players only cared about two issues.
The first one was if the corpses all over the ground would be too bloody?
The other issue was the most popular question. They wanted ot know when will the public beta of Wasteland Online be?
Half an hour has passed since the Promotional Video was uploaded, Chu Guang glanced at Number of applications.
My goodness.
The number actually jumped from 2333 to 5777!
And that was when the application requirements had been increased to 100 questions!
"It feels like this game is going to become popular." Chu Guang was full of joy.
In addition to some stubborn players, the minds of many players who used to firmly believe that this game didn’t really exist, also began to sway.
How were they supposed to put it?
It seemed like the game was really real!
At least since the Promotional Video animation didn’t start with a dog or copy the Drakengard, there was nothing wrong with applying for the qualification to support it, right?
What if it’s true?
Wouldn’t that be awesome?
Chu Guang didn’t know how to answer the players’ call for the public beta test. It not only depended on whether the system would let him do so, but also whether he needed so many people.
For the time being, he would just ignore those calls. After all, he was used to it anyway.
As everyone knew, good games needed time to be developed.
If they didn’t delay the release for two to three years, they should be embarrassed to call themselves an AAA masterpiece.
For example, a certain cyberpunk game. If the pre-order players didn’t keep urging the development team, would they still release a shitty game? If they truly waited till 2077,there would definitely not be so many bugs!
Chu Guang promised that there would definitely be a public beta test before GTA 6 goes live.
Of course, in case the sales of GTA 5 suddenly plummeted, he would take back his words.
What shocked the players was not only the promotional video, but also the CGI of the Pioneer, the land-based fortress.
The huge and heavy steel chassis and the powerful heavy-duty tracks perfectly fit the industrial enthusiasts’ aesthetic for megastructure projects. The box-shaped buildings on the tracks and the chassis, and the modular design of the simple style also attracted the attention of many sci-fi players.
Many netizens were asking in the forum, which artist created the effect.
