Chapter 549: Frank feels that he has a huge advantage

Xue Lin opened the post.

“To be honest, Chen Mo didn’t reveal if the game has a single ending or multiple endings. Most people who have cleared the game have gotten the ‘fire pass’ ending, but I’ve walked into a different story line. I wonder if that’ll have any effect.”

“Beside the bridge of the undead Settlement, there will be a jailer from Rondor who is still alive. After talking to him, he will become your follower. After that, I will be able to draw out true power and level up for free!”

“I’m not too sure how to draw it in, but I found out that something called the Halo of darkness had mysteriously appeared on my body. And as I continued to draw it in, my zombified state became more and more serious. In the end, I couldn’t even look at it …”

“Also, the npc related to this Pilgrim said something completely different from the mainstream opinion. I suspect that this is a different ending, or a more important side quest.”

“Because I’m a noob, I haven’t finished the game yet, so I don’t know if it will affect the ending of the game. But from the looks of it, the game has a lot of side quests, and spreading fire shouldn’t be the only purpose.”

There was also very detailed information in the post, including some screenshots and videos. There was no doubt that it was a part of the game.

“Eh? There’s such a thing!”

Xue Lin was also shocked.

Indeed, there were too many collectable elements in Dark Souls, and many people would easily ignore some NPCs.

When Lin Xue entered the undead Settlement, she went straight through the main entrance and didn’t notice that there was a special NPC on the other side of the bridge.

Moreover, from other people’s posts, it could be seen that there were many different branch NPCs in the game, but each NPC’s mission was hidden very deeply, and it could be broken if one was not careful.

Moreover, every NPC seemed to have their own ending.

Lin Xue was so focused on clearing the game that she didn’t pay much attention to the story of the NPCs. Now that she saw the side quests, Lin Xue realized that even though she had cleared the game, there was still a lot of content that she hadn’t really understood.

“Hmm … Then let’s try to prepare for the second round! I feel like I can explore the side quests of these NPCs. I feel like I’ve missed out on so many things!”

Xue Lin thought to herself.

……

In other countries, Dark Souls had also caused a great response.

In fact, compared to China, there were more players in Europe and the United States who liked this theme, and there were more hardcore players. Therefore, Dark Souls was even more popular overseas than in China!

Dark Souls suddenly became a popular game on major foreign live-streaming websites. Many foreign live-streamers were also talking and laughing with the bullet-screen audience while they continued their torturous journey in Dark Souls.

Some media outlets were also reviewing Dark Souls. Although no specific review articles had been released yet, from the feedback of the hosts and players, Dark Souls had unexpectedly received a lot of good reviews.

In a sense, there were indeed more masochists abroad than in China …

This situation made GA feel like breaking down, because Knight’s glory was the first to release the information, and it was the first game to be developed using artificial intelligence physics, but in the end, Dark Souls preempted it, this was F * cking embarrassing!

The person in charge of Knight’s glory, Frank, was also paying attention to Dark Souls. After trying out the game, his biggest feeling was that this game was not for humans to play!

Frank had only wanted to check out the game’s physics system, but he was immediately taught a lesson by Gundam the moment he entered the game. He was beaten up so badly that he almost refunded the game …

Frank was also shocked. Did this game have to be so difficult?

However, after Frank briefly looked at the physical system, he felt more at ease.

In terms of performance, the Pangu system was not better than the origin system. The physical systems created by the two artificial intelligence systems were very similar in function, and there was no particularly large difference in performance.

Frank was still a little disapproving of the design concept of Dark Souls. On one hand, he felt that the game was too difficult, and on the other hand, he felt that the game was a little fake.

Because the theme of Dark Souls was a medieval fantasy background, there were many factors that were completely out of touch with reality.

For example, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for humans to carry super heavy equipment like the animated smoke greatsword or the Black Knight greatsword. What kind of muscular man would be able to swing a sword that was heavier than himself and swing it so vigorously? It was not scientific at all.

Moreover, there were a lot of impractical equipment in the game, such as Javier’s armor and shield. In real life, if a normal person were to wear such a set, even a muscular man would not be able to walk …

Not to mention, he had to roll on the ground and Dodge the attacks …

Obviously, the design idea of this game was still inclined towards cool combat. Many things were deliberately exaggerated in an artistic way with reality.

In addition, the game’s difficulty was insanely high, so Frank thought that this game would be a relatively niche game.

On the other hand, Knight’s glory took a completely different path.

On one hand, it was very realistic. The plot, equipment, and combat styles in Knight’s glory were all created by Frank and the project team after rigorous research. They were basically done to faithfully reproduce history.

At the same time, although Knight’s glory’s combat system was quite rich, it was still based on the combat of Knights in real life. As a whole, the premise was still to find the flaws of both sides. Although the boss also had a certain difficulty, as long as the player’s attributes increased, they would be able to clear it.

For Frank, the main purpose of this game was to show the superiority of physical engines. It was enough as long as the players could feel the pleasure and experience the feeling of fighting as a medieval knight.

Frank believed that sometimes, it was because the game was so close to reality that the players would feel more real in the game.

Therefore, Frank thought that Knight’s glory would be more popular than Dark Souls, and would be more popular in Europe and America.

Many players who had no choice but to refund the game after being tortured by Dark Souls were also looking forward to the release of Knight’s glory. According to Frank’s information, Knight’s glory was much simpler than Dark Souls, and they could get a more refreshing combat experience in this game. Therefore, many people were looking forward to it.

As for the other video game designers, they paid attention to Knight’s glory for another reason.

The Pangu system and the origin system, these two physical engines created by artificial intelligence, were a test for designers.

Chen Mo had already given his answer, but could he get better scores than the foreign designers? This was what everyone was looking forward to.

And all of this would only be revealed after Knight’s glory was officially released!
