Thanks to the groundwork laid before "Abyss of the Gods," many overseas players already knew that the so-called "free" doesn't always equate to "no cost."
However, the stable and high-quality updates of "Abyss of the Gods," coupled with the fact that it was genuinely possible to play without spending money if planned well, gave them a high level of trust in this type of free-to-play game.
They even praised it to each other.
After introducing the advantages and selling points of the "Frost and Snow Project," the host specifically pointed out:
"The development company of the 'Frost and Snow Project'—Dream Building Games—is also present at the Cologne Game Show and is currently setting up their booth in Hall 6."
"They have also brought brand-new content and technology for this exhibition!"
"If any players want to try it out in advance, they can go to Hall 6 to experience it."
As soon as the words fell, some people in the exhibition hall didn't even bother watching the rest of the press conference and turned to leave.
Until the host began introducing the next game, the Brazilian guy Kabo, who was almost petrified, finally slowly turned his head, looking at Huan Yue in a daze.
Huan Yue also came down from the human ladder built by his little brothers.
"How is it? I didn't lie to you, right?"
"Forget about Super Baby, Super Tangbao; they can't even think about ripping off Dream Building."
Kabo nodded, "Indeed, if Super Tangbao knew about such a game, they would definitely explode on the spot!"
"Wouldn't that be even better? Haha!" Huan Yue laughed.
But Kabo wasn't as optimistic as him: "Not necessarily."
"Now that the game is on consoles and hasn't accepted their 'guidance,' it will definitely be subjected to their crazy scolding and targeting."
"Maybe one day the game company won't be able to withstand the pressure and will compromise."
Kabo was a little pessimistic because he had seen this happen many times.
But Huan Yue blinked and put this possibility out of his mind.
"Impossible!"
Behind them, Kabo and some friends also left the exhibition hall, following the map on the exhibition manual to find Dream Building's booth.
—As Xu Meng expected, another wave of traffic came rushing in!
Despite contacting official staff and arranging for more people to maintain order, a temporary display screen was also installed at the entrance of the exhibition hall, which read—
[Estimated waiting time: 5 hours]
This was to advise players not to waste time and to visit other exhibition halls instead.
Because Dream Building's booth was already completely overloaded!
—Although Xu Meng had realized the problem, he quickly modified the rules.
The original [Each player can experience 30 minutes of interactive scenes and 30 minutes of BOSS battles] was changed to [Limited to 30 minutes, you can choose one of two gameplay options to experience].
This change halved the waiting time for players.
But even so, the waiting time was still getting longer and longer.
What's even more outrageous is that such a terrifying waiting time couldn't dissuade players.
The queue was still getting longer and longer…
—At this time, Hu Jun, the operations director of "Abyss of the Gods," was still in the exhibition hall.
He arrived early and had successfully completed the experience after Dream Building adjusted the experience rules.
Faced with the choice of two, he undoubtedly chose to experience Huo Huo's yoga room.
And the more he experienced, the deeper the shock in his heart—
Dream Building's technology is really too strong!
The feeling brought by the character is also too real!
The visuals, touch, interaction—all the details are done so well, so perfectly, that it even made him feel unreal.
He had no choice but to stay in the exhibition hall after finishing the experience, watching one player after another put on the haptic suit and experience it from a distance.
At the beginning, their faces were full of curiosity, but at the end, they were full of reluctance and disappointment.
This made Hu Jun have to accept the reality.
—Dream Building really has mastered an amazing technology that can provide players with an unparalleled differentiated experience.
All card-selling games on the market are no match for this technology!
Even "Abyss of the Gods" is the same.
Because this is not a fair confrontation at all!
This doesn't even have much to do with the game's playability—this is purely an absolute advantage brought about by the technological gap.
Other game types are hard to say, but for ACG games…
With this technology, Dream Building's only two obstacles to unifying the ACG game circle are time and the cost of this haptic suit.
It's okay if the cost can't be reduced, but if it can be reduced…
The newest novels are first published on !
Then the position of "Abyss of the Gods" will soon face a severe challenge!
Hu Jun realized that this was no longer something he could decide alone.
He had to call the country immediately.
……
……
Hu Jun's professional sensitivity was completely correct.
Before noon, the news of [Dream Building's new technology] had swept through the domestic player circle.
For players, the hottest topic today was undoubtedly the new technology displayed by Dream Building at the Cologne Game Show.
Xu Meng really completely realized, and even exceeded, the new technology he announced in the preview live broadcast.
More and more people are entering the virtual world through this new technology and touching their virtual wives.
As a result, the impact of this incident is getting bigger and bigger, even spilling out of the game circle and spreading to social news.
Dream Jinli flipped through more than a dozen pages, all of which were related discussions:
[Why isn't it in China!!! I want to go too!!!!]
[This suit! I'm definitely buying it; no one can compete with me!]
[I just want to ask if anyone on the scene has tried it; can Huo Huo's clothes be taken off?]
[I want to know, what can the character do after full affection + marriage? Bust clothes?]
[I'm already starting to envy Sniper, he's already got the glasses]
[Starting today, become a glorious investigator!]
……
Under the last post, countless players from other games left their footprints here:
"From now on, 'Frost and Snow Project' is my only main game, loyalty! Sincerity!"
"What is 'God Bird'? Not familiar, uninstall! Wife, I'm coming!"
"Sorry, 'Abyss of the Gods,' but you can't stop me from running towards a better wife, right?"
……
ACG players from all walks of life have climbed the wall and switched to "Frost and Snow Project."
The daily active data of those games has not yet shown any changes.
But Song Zhicheng can already see here:
The new registered users of "Frost and Snow Project" are taking off again!
—Previously, with the help of the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt], a wave of shooting game players was brought in, and the total number of users successfully exceeded 32 million.
After the preview war and version update, it rushed to 37 million in one go.
And today—
In one morning, it broke through million like a bamboo shoot, and it is still soaring!
If this momentum does not weaken, the number of users of "Frost and Snow Project" is very likely to exceed the 50 million mark during the Cologne Game Show!
Then, on the first of next month, it will be launched on consoles, and new players from all over the world will pour into the game.
Estimating these numbers, Song Zhicheng only felt like he was in a dream.
Now he really has the confidence to compete with "Abyss of the Gods" for the throne of ACG games!
[9:48], I'm done for.
Finally, ask for monthly tickets!
