Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 129: [Titanfall & Pacific Rim] Joint Spectacle

"Online mode?"

Seeing the prompt on screen, Dai ii froze.

The single-player experience had been so deeply ingrained while playing this ga.

Originally, Dai ii and everyone else had prepared to continue enjoying three hours of cinematic experience, even surpassing movie quality.

But unexpectedly, after the signal tower level, a "multiplayer online" chapter appeared.

Dai ii was surprised.

The live audience watching was equally astonished—

'Holy shit? There's multiplayer content?'

'Damn—didn't the commander ntion a big battle earlier? Is this it?'

'Probably, the main force must be coming to fight IMC on Typhoon'

'Fuck! All-out war! Epic scenes incoming!'

'If it's multiplayer... everyone pilots their own Titan into battle?'

'Holy shit! Titan free-for-all? That would be insane!'

'Don't celebrate yet, the prompt says difficulty scales with player count'

'But it'll be aweso!'

'Are we getting true movie-level spectacle?'

'Hurry hurry find teammates! I can't wait! I'm the King of Impatience!'

'I wanna see Titan chaos! I can't wait another second!'

'......'

"This is interesting..."

Saying this, Dai ii paused the ga and opened her friends list to see who was playing for co-op.

However, upon opening it, Zhou Shuyi's avatar imdiately started flashing wildly—

[OnlyCallZhouShuyi—]

[DaiDai! DaiDai!]

[Finished Chapter 1 of Part 2 yet?]

[Hurry hurry]

[One spot left, just waiting for you]

[Titan battle! Quick!]

[You there?]

A barrage of ssages.

Dai ii reacted swiftly: [1111111]

[Ding! "OnlyCallZhouShuyi" invited you to voice channel]

Without hesitation, Dai ii joined through Zhou's link.

Then her eyes widened in shock!

The voice channel already had five others—

Piao Teacher, Old Ma, Qiezi, Donggua, and Zhou Jie.

'Holy fuck—'

The chat exploded!

'All top strears?'

'Damn half of SharkTV's A-listers are here!'

'This lineup is insane!'

'Only TTF could gather this many for co-op'

'Combined these six streams have 400 million viewers...'

'Too crazy, this is SharkTV's elite squad...'

'......'

Six top strears!

All gathered for this chapter!

Dai ii was equally shocked but rembered to greet:

"Hello hello, I'm here!"

"Oh, DaiDai's here,"

Piao Teacher's voice ca through:

"Are we all set then?"

"One two three... six total, let's go let's go!"

Qiezi did a headcount:

"Let's form a squad in-ga."

"Got it,"

Zhou Jie replied:

"I'll create it, Qiezi bro, Piao Teacher, everyone join."

Soon!

The in-ga squad was ford.

Dai ii joined and asked curiously:

"So this chapter has us piloting Titans together? Chat's saying free-for-all?"

"Seems like it,"

Zhou Jie answered:

"But details are unclear, we all just got here. I wanted to team up with you,"

"Then Piao Teacher invited , so I figured why not go full squad."

Holy shit—

Looking at her squadmates, Dai ii grinned.

This was insane.

Though she was now one of PUBG's top female strears,

Compared to these five, she was still small potatoes.

The six readied up!

Amid tense breathing, the new chapter began—

The screen went black.

Rumbling sounds filled their ears as Dai ii felt herself in BT's cockpit, shaking with turbulence.

It felt like...

"Holy shit are we on a plane?"

She knew this feeling well!

Jumping countless tis daily in PUBG, she recognized the engine roar and turbulence instantly.

If correct, they were airborne.

Hearing this, the others realized too.

"Yo—that does feel familiar—"

Old Ma was first to agree.

"Hahaha Old Ma would know this feeling..."

Piao Teacher couldn't help teasing.

"Damn—brothers—are we about to airdrop into battle?"

Hyperactive warrior Donggua couldn't contain his excitent, adrenaline pumping.

"Probably tough, brothers, watch each other's backs."

Zhou Jie took a nervous breath, warning everyone.

"WDNMD bring it on, don't worry, I'm in god mode today,"

Qiezi boasted:

"Viewers better take notes!"

His classic confidence made everyone chuckle.

Then!

Boom—rumble—ratatat—blast—

Heavy gunfire and explosions sounded in the distance.

Their transport seed to have reached the battlefield, intense combat noises everywhere!

The screen gradually cleared.

As guessed, all six were in a transport plane's cabin.

Cold steel and oil slls filled the air.

The cramped space felt tighter with six Titans lining both sides.

Among them, Commander Briggs stood on a platform, tablet in hand:

Then!

Commander Briggs' voice rang out:

"Alright Pilots, listen up,"

"IMC has developed a fold weapon capable of destroying planets,"

"But without the Ark as power source, it won't work,"

"We must seize it before it leaves the airbase!"

At this mont!

An electrifying guitar riff built as background music.

Like a beast's growl before attack, a cannon's fuse burning, a symphony's prelude—a warhorn for the coming battle!

Then!

White text on black background appeared bottom-left:

[Trial by Fire]

[This chapter presented by—Titanfall & Pacific Rim]

[Joint Spectacle]

[BGM: Pacific Rim (OST)]

[Special thanks: Legendary Pictures]

Instantly!

Strears and viewers erupted!

'HOLY SHIT—!!!'

'Pacific Rim the!'

'OHHHHHHH—'

'This is the crossover?'

'Jesus! This is mind-blowing!'

'Fuck fuck fuck! Goosebumps everywhere!'

'This soundtrack is insane, waiting for that orchestra climax!'

'Been watching Titans but not falls yet, this airdrop will be epic!'

'Already hyped!'

'......'

Indeed!

Though Legendary's sudden collaboration offer surprised Golden Wind, they had a week's buffer!

Gu Sheng could easily patch TTF in that ti.

Like this chapter's soundtrack!

Originally, TTF's music was good.

But to Gu Sheng, nothing beat Pacific Rim's the for hype.

Especially since he'd tweaked this chapter—

Replacing AI teammates with real players!

Up to six players would pilot Titans through enemy fire to stop the Ark's transport!

Of course!

Difficulty scaled with player count!

Full six-player squads like Dai ii's would face unprecedented Titan warfare!

Thus required epic music!

So during talks, Gu Sheng proposed using the the and sent demo footage.

Then.

Legendary's co-founder and Pacific Rim producer—Thomas Tull.

Went absolutely wild.

Collaborate? Absolutely. At any cost.

His fanboy enthusiasm almost scared Gu Sheng.

Thus!

This joint spectacle—later hailed as 'gaming's most hype ch battle'—Trial by Fire—was born!

Now!

As music swelled, all six held their breath!

"Militia Raiders! Ready!"

Briggs stood high, arm raised!

Then slashed down!

"Titan! Drop!!!"

Whoosh—

All Titan hatches sealed, pneumatic arms extended, drop pods opened—six fell from the ship!

Then!

Woo—!!!

As horns blared, the orchestra climax hit!

Behold!

Now!

Jagged peaks, blood-red sunset!

On vast coastal flats stood a massive airbase, defenses crisscrossed, smoke billowing!

AA guns roared, tracers weaving deadly nets in sky!

Drones and gunships dogfighting, explosions rumbling!

Militia soldiers charged in waves, fell, reinforced!

IMC casualties mounted under relentless assault!

This was total war—both sides becoming re statistics.

Numbers growing amidst blood and fire!

Rapid descent shook BT's fra.

They ca from skies above—Titans to turn the tide!

But awaiting them—IMC's full Titan force!

Boom!

Thud! Thud thud! Thud!

Six Vanguard-class Titans landed hard, cratering earth!

Heroes arrive!

Troops, Stalkers, Reapers, enemy Titans...

A tidal wave of foes between them and the Ark's transport—a ship two football fields long!

Haa—phew—

Dai ii steadied herself, BT raising its chaingun.

Like their first battle together.

Click—clack!!!

Gun loaded, shield charged, cluster missiles ready!

"BT."

[Here, Pilot]

"Let's carve a path through."

Instantly!

All six streams exploded!

[Let's carve a path through] colored the screens!

'OHHHHHHHH—!!!'

'HYPE! HYPE!'

'This shits on Boruto 50,000 tis over!'

'Chills—!!!'

'Brothers I'm standing to watch this'

'Too insane holy shit!'

'Golden Wind makes gas? Thought this was movies! (lol)'

'Brutal, this BGM murders souls!'

'Part 1 was experience and innovation, Part 2 is hype and slaughter?'

'Nobody understands gars like the old devil'

'......'

Detonation!

Amid roaring hype!

The grandest Titan battle in history—begins!

Ratatatatat—!!!

Whoosh—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening blasts as six Titans advanced!

While IMC Titans rained down!

Being a full squad, enemy numbers and firepower scaled accordingly!

Making the battle fiercer!

Whoosh—BOOM!

Explosions rocked Dai ii's BT, staggering it after taking down one foe against three.

As two enemy Titans moved in for the kill—

Thud—

A propane tank arced through air, landing between them.

Both pilots froze.

Too late.

Whoosh—

A Vanguard slid into view, arms raised!

[Fla Core Activated!]

Fire erupted, igniting the tank—

BOOM—!!!

Two Titans vanished in a mini-mushroom cloud as Zhou Jie called:

"You okay DaiDai!"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Whoosh whoosh—!!!

"One ring, two rings, three rings, rocket facial, joking with you boss?"

anwhile east side!

Old Ma's Titan dodged through enemy fire, countering when possible.

But!

With reinforcents pouring in and his semi-auto chaingun, he was struggling.

One squad, two, three... more firing at him.

One Reaper, two, three... surrounding him.

One Titan, two, three... closing in for the kill!

Amidst bombardnt, Old Ma fought desperately!

"Dodge... dodge... yo!"

"Ah no space to dodge..."

"So annoying..."

Then!

From behind ca a roar!

"Bastards! Don't underestimate my bond with Old Ma!"

A Beast-mode Vanguard launched skyward!

"Eat this—[Flight Core Activated]!"

Whoosh whoosh—!!!

Missiles rained down as Old Ma grinned:

"[Rocket Core Activated]—take this?!"

Whoosh whoosh—!!!

Homing rockets joined the barrage!

BOOM BOOM BOOM—

The combo turned hundred-ter radius into hellfire!

anwhile west side!

Donggua and Qiezi dueled a boss Titan—Legion.

Its rotary cannon stood tall as the Titan itself, firepower like bombing runs!

Despite dodging, both were battered badly!

Boom boom boom—!!!

Another barrage left Donggua's Ronin near death.

No batteries nearby for repairs.

Ducking behind a boulder, Donggua gripped his alloy sword—Qiezi nodded.

Leaping out, Qiezi roared at Legion:

"WDNMD bring it! Bring it! Pull it!"

"Fuck your mom—[Laser Core Activated]!!!"

BOOM—!!!

The blast sent Legion reeling as it raised gun-shield!

Then!

From behind—

"Fuck your ancestors—"

"Eat my—"

"[Sword Core Activated]!!!"

VWOOOM—!!!

The massive blade ca down as Qiezi laughed:

"Donggua stab him! Stab! STAB HIM!!!"

"I DNMD HAHAHAHA—!!!"
