Good weekend, everyone. I’m Dr. X.
The new edition of Hot Travel Information will consist of two parts: New Travel Trends and Global Hotspots.
I can’t make it clear in one sentence or two. Let’s talk with Dr. X about some hot information this week.
[New Tour Dynamics]
Key points: The Cologne exhibition "Black Myth: Wukong" won the best visual award and received rave reviews from European and American players.
This week, the domestic game "Black Myth: Wukong" became the most beautiful player in the Cologne Game Fair, which not only attracted the attention of overseas players during the performance and trial play, but even won the best visual effect in the award stage.
I’m afraid it’s one of the few domestic stand-alone games to win the prize on the internationally famous stage with a large stand-alone game. It’s really exciting to watch.
During the exhibition, many friends also interviewed European and American players who tried to play "Black Myth: Wukong". The interviewed players basically gave full praise and showed great concern.
Just look at the long queue in front of this exhibition hall, which is quite a top masterpiece.
During this week, players have also seen a lot of demo demonstrations from various demos, media, official numbers and NVIDIA. The rich content of the game, interesting story design and monster display are all unsatisfactory. Dr. X is also looking forward to meeting this game next year.
At the same time, in the face of the optimization of the player’s trial experience and some vain problems in walking and running, the creative team also said that it has received feedback and will focus on solving these problems in the future.
In a word, Dr. X will buy it when he goes out.
Key points: The Cologne Game Show Mihayou’s whole family dispatched the original gods, the star iron and the unique zone to bring all the new PV.
In this week’s Cologne Game Show, in addition to Black Myth: Wukong, Mihayou is also an extremely eye-catching domestic manufacturer. The original god, Star Rail and the yet-to-be-tested Zero all came on stage to help out and contributed a brand-new publicity PV.
Among them, "Star Railway" brings a quite interesting story about Fu Xuan’s fantasy of becoming a general, which can also be regarded as a warm-up for the 1.3 version of "Star Railway" which will be launched next week.
However, the new PV released by the new work "Absolute Zone Zero", which has not been publicly tested, is somewhat intriguing. It seems that in addition to the top-notch artistic effect, the new UI, interactive interface and combat mode have all added some displays more or less.
But then, Mihayou immediately announced a 22-minute real machine demonstration, which not only showed smooth action fighting, but also followed the classic "substitution" mechanism in previous works, and the gameplay was quite Mijia style.
High-speed switching and fast, high-frequency fighting are also easy to remind people of Mihayou’s BengSan. In the face of the old number one card getting old, "No Zone Zero" is likely to be used to take over BengSan’s accumulated family property in the field of action mobile games, thus gaining more time and room for change for BengSi.
Dr. X really likes this art style.
Of course, this week, not only Miha Tour brought new secondary works, but also Netease’s new tour "Code: Infinite", which we mentioned last week, officially released its first PV this week. This game not only showed quite mature artistic effects, but also designed many interesting urban fighting games, which made people shine.
At present, in the battle scenes displayed, we can see the city swinging in imitation of Spider-Man.
Similar to the super-moving objects commonly used in the battle of Crimson Tie.
A large number of urban racing, shooting, and fighting methods that rely on the combination of modern means and superpowers are quite novel, and they are also rare works with modern cities as the stage in the field of secondary open world.
I hope these works can bring fresh experiences to players.
Focus: "Red Desert" released a new video, but players are not very optimistic.
On the opening night of the Cologne game, Korean game developer Pearl Abyss released a brand-new preview video of his new work "Red Desert". The video released this time is 3 minutes and 30 seconds long, and it is edited based on real airports such as combat and exploration.
However, because the online time of the game has not yet been made public. Therefore, many Korean players believe that this video was launched for the stock price.
Moreover, the game is not optimistic in the Korean forum at present. On the one hand, the PV editing is relatively rough, and there is not much actual and clear information. On the other hand, the company has dug too many pits, and there has been no finished product in recent years, which is inevitably suspected by players.
I also hope Red Desert can do better. After all, Black Sand has been around for so many years, and there is always a need for new products to take over.
Key points: cologne model worker Tencent brought 15 products to the exhibition.
It is said that this year’s Cologne model worker is neither a tour that brought "Black Myth" nor a Miha tour in which the whole family went into battle, but Tencent that brought 15 games at one time.
This time, Tencent packaged a large number of new products from domestic and foreign manufacturers to participate in the exhibition, such as Assassin’s Creed Jade, Edge of Rebirth, Hurricane: King of Racing, GTFO, Breakthrough in the Dark Zone, Delta Action and other works.
However, it is a pity that Tencent’s exhibition did not arouse much splash. Compared with its peers, Tencent is still playing a safety card in its own comfort zone, lacking a "new job" that makes people shine.
It can only be said that the huge resource advantage and the cumbersome system with difficult transformation are both complex two sides of a big factory.
Key points: "Assassin’s Creed: Fantasy" appeared in Cologne on the opening night and was officially released on October 5.
Assassin’s Creed’s new series "Assassin’s Creed: Fantasy" was officially announced at the Cologne exhibition, and the game was reversed and released on October 5 in advance.
Key points: The martial arts open world "Sixteen Voices of Yanyun" will be launched in 2024.
Recently, Netease announced its financial report for the second quarter of 2023. It was clearly pointed out in the financial report that the latest release time of Sixteen Voices of Yanyun is not expected to exceed Q2 of 2024, and it may be launched in advance.
At present, there is no more information about the online date of Sixteen Sounds of Yanyun. Interested players may wish to pay more attention to the official news.
[Global Hotspots]
Key points: After being scolded by global players, Blizzard decided to optimize Diablo 4 in the second season.
Under the criticism of almost all Diablo 4 players, Blizzard hastily unveiled the pie of Diablo 4′ s second season "Blood Season" when Diablo 4 was only open for one month in the first season, and announced that the second season would be launched on October 18th.
The R&D team said that the blood season will bring a new mission line, fight vampires with vampire power, add five final game BOSS, and have the opportunity to drop specific unique items and super unique items. And his new companion, the vampire hunter "Aerith".
The R&D team said that the "Blood Season" brought some game experience updates, including the item bar to manage gems more efficiently, the upgrade items such as peak points, skill points, the number of potions used, and the capacity of ancient coins. As long as they were reached by the eternal boundary role or the previous season boundary role, they will now be automatically transferred to the new season. Change vulnerability, suppression, critical damage and element resistance status effects.
But obviously, these problems are the troubles that players have criticized for a long time, and the promise of "preparing to solve them in a few months" can’t satisfy the current players.
Moreover, as a resentful player of Diablo 4, Dr. X’s evaluation is that I just want to stay away from blizzard and misfortune.
Focus: Microsoft awarded Ubisoft "the complete rights of Activision Blizzard’s fifteen-year cloud game"
Microsoft is reorganizing its proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard and transferring the cloud game rights of current and new Activision Blizzard games to Ubisoft. The move aims to appease the concerns expressed by British regulators about the impact of Microsoft’s proposed $68.6 billion transaction on cloud game competition. The restructured transaction triggered a new round of regulatory investigation in the UK, which may last until October 18th.
This restructured transaction means that if Microsoft finally reaches a deal, it will not be able to exclusively release Activision Blizzard games on Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft can’t exclusively control the licensing terms of Activision Blizzard games on competitors’ services.
In addition, on August 30th, "Watching Pioneer 2" will be linked with Hololive, which has insulted China, and it is really a combination with similar tastes.
Key points: Guild Wars 2, the new DLC, The Mystery of Heaven, was launched.
The latest DLC "Mystery of Heaven" of Guild Wars 2 was officially launched in the national costume this week. In this adventure story, the commander will no longer face the threat from the ancient dragon for the first time.
In this "Mystery of Heaven" DLC, players will meet many old and new friends, open more BD combinations, and unlock new areas and specialized training.
