Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 293: This World Needs More Heroes! Are You In or Not
Amidst the intense attention of the masses!
On the pitch-black giant screen, the Golden Wind logo slowly appeared.
Although the main content had not yet started even for a second, the live chat barrage was already boiling over—
‘OHHHHHH—here it cos!’
“Hahaha, I knew it wouldn’t be just a logo!
Damn, damn, such a grand setup for a new ga, I’m so hyped…
“This promotion is insane.”
“You always co up with new tricks, jpg.”
“Holy crap... already nearly 300 million in hype...”
“Can only say, Old Thief, no wonder it’s you.”
“Hope all future promotions are like this (dog head emoji).”
“Aik: You’re risking ?”
“Hahahahaha...”
...
Amidst the chorus of excited laughter!
“*Ahem!*”
A sowhat heavy, simple cough sounded:
“Alright, let’s start recording.”
Following the voice,
On the big screen, a black gorilla wearing glasses and clad in white combat armor propped up the cara, then shook the speech draft in his hand:
“Hmm... I can handle the ti accelerator, so this has got to be fine!”
Saying that!
The gorilla scientist Winston turned his face directly to the cara, straightened his posture, and spoke solemnly:
“All Overwatch—!”
Snap.
The cara wobbled and fell onto the table.
“All Overwatchers!”
“Hmm... that sounded too stiff...”
“All mbers of the Overwatch team! I’m Winston, haha!”
“Nonsense... who else could I be...”
Winston seed nervous, never quite satisfied with each take.
Behind him, the clear lighting revealed that this simple speech draft had been recorded repeatedly from morning until night.
The hilariously awkward promotional video opening and the unexpected gorilla scientist protagonist had everyone laughing heartily—
“So the main character this ti is a gorilla?”
“I beca a gorilla?”
“And a talking one at that, hahaha...”
Too surreal, this opening really carried Little Yellow’s flavor.
The socially awkward gorilla, recording from dawn till dusk, hhhhhh...
Surprisingly, it even felt quite cute.
Gorilla scientist—that must be the charm of contrast...
...
As the audience’s discussion grew,
Under the nightfall, Winston took a deep breath, abandoning the formalistic opening and sighed softly.
There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness, his voice low and heavy:
“Thirty years ago, intelligent machines declared war on humanity...”
With Winston’s voice, a full-scale image flashed on the screen—
Massive robots trampling the earth, their crimson LED eyes radiating deathly light.
They wielded heavy weapons, unleashing overwhelming firepower everywhere, leaving no grass alive where they passed, as terrified humans scattered in panic.
“The nations of the world were powerless until they gathered so heroic elites. To save humanity from the threat, Overwatch was born—”
The scene changed.
Huge intelligent machines roared as they unleashed ammunition, rotary cannons thundered, bullets weaving a deadly net of firepower.
Within this vast firepower net, several heroes with varying outfits launched an assault on the giant machines.
One had golden hair, wearing a tight battle suit, holding a rifle.
Another darted through the firestorm, dual-wielding huge pistols attacking the machines.
Yet another donned angular, bulky armor, swinging a tal hamr with a thruster, charging forward.
At the award ceremony, the diverse heroes received comndations witnessed by representatives of humanity and machines alike.
On the comndation poster, various heroes stood facing the dawn, symbolizing hope and peace.
“You beca the greatest peacekeepers and pioneers in history!”
“You were chosen because you have the ability and strength!”
“You joined because—!”
However!
At this exciting mont!
The screen was suddenly turned off by Winston.
The stirring music was abruptly cut.
“You already know all this...”
Winston’s voice was low and downcast.
After a mont of silence,
Winston slowly lifted his eyes and spoke earnestly:
“Listen, people think they’d be better off without us; they even see us as monsters...”
“But look!!!”
At this point!
The music suddenly beca tense!
Amid rolling thick smoke, a massive landmark tower was destroyed in an explosion!
Under raging flas, a factory was engulfed in towering infernos!
Human hos were besieged, and even the orderly and benevolent machines were attacked!
A new round of chaos and storm had arrived, and forces lurking in darkness reached out their hands, intending to reshuffle this world!
“Now, soone must stand up!”
“We must stand up!”
“We can change this world again; it needs us more than ever!”
“This world needs more heroes!”
At this mont!
Winston took off his glasses, lifted his eyes, and looked at everyone with firm determination!
“Are you in or not?”
Imdiately, the screen flickered!
Amid grand orchestral symphony, heroes appeared one after another—
“I see you all...”
Swish, swish!
A soldier wearing goggles rolled on landing, firing his rifle; amid dense bullets, cluster missiles exploded thunderously!
“Take this hamr!”
Boom!
A warrior clad in bulky armor spun a giant hamr with thrusters, smashing heavily into the ground, cracking the earth!
“Die... die...”
!!!
Like a shadow of death in dense black fog, the Reaper descended onto the battlefield, spinning and shooting; deadly bullets harvesting lives!
“Justice descends from the heavens!”
!!
A female warrior clad in deep blue armor like an eagle soared in the sky, raining down missiles onto the ground!
“Try to stop !”
Rumble!
The neon Ronin with a drawn bow fired an arrow; the dragon tattoo on his arm awakened, forming two coiled azure dragons roaring forward!
“Heroes never die!”
Whoosh!
An angelic doctor descended, bathed in golden holy light, spreading golden wings behind, reaching out to everyone!
Amid the grand symphony, the Overwatch logo floated in the darkness before millions of viewers!
Buzz!!!
The entire crowd was electrified!
The live audience was ignited, shouting and cheering!
As for the livestream chat, the barrage exploded like a geyser—
“I’m in!”
“Co on, co on! Must join!”
“Tell when exactly to join, damn it!”
“I’M COMING! Where are you?!”
“Overwatch HQ in the northeast?”
“Hahahahaha...”
“FPS! Another FPS! Spread the word, Little Yellow’s back in action!”
It was hard to imagine that I actually got persuaded by a gorilla.
“Interesting?”
“Looks like a battle ga.”
“Definitely a battle ga, with so many characters.”
“That final quick cut was top-notch, couldn’t resist.”
“Sister rcy slurping...”
“Probably skills-based, that justice-from-the-sky vibe is so strong.”
From Titanfall’s Northstar, to APEX’s Wraith, to Overwatch’s… so unknown ‘chicken’, Old Thief really loves this flying ultimate skill style.
Goddamn flying ultimate skill, hahaha!
Oh no, my wallet is resonating with the promo!
Mine too! He flew out! Stuck to the motion-sensing pod!
Hahaha, you guys don’t be too ridiculous...
...
The uniquely creative premiere promotional video mode grandly kicked off after the unprecedented shock challenge event on January 1st.
Nearly three million people worldwide watched the livestream, excitent erupting everywhere!
As the bursting fireworks blood!
The first Golden Bull Challenge ca to an end amid a wave of sensation.
And the resulting ripple effect began to spread wildly!
On the streets and alleys of Florida, extre sports enthusiasts printed the half-body statue of Aik Garcia raising his arm on culture shirts, treating him as their spiritual idol and saluting his fearless courage.
More and more extre sports challengers sprayed the Golden Bull logo on their gear.
Mountain bikes, skateboards, helts, sportswear...
More people beca aware of extre sports, and many got a glimpse and chose to join this self-challenging sport.
In just one week!
When the finance officer reported the data to Xu Zhixing and Matt, she looked as if she was high on sothing, glowing with excitent, eyes filled with unbelievable joy—
Tiansi Bull’s sales in the first week of the year
surpassed December’s total sales of the previous year by 0.25 percentage points.
One week!
More than a whole month!
When the news arrived, both Xu Zhixing and Matt were dumbfounded!
But that wasn’t all!
When the finance officer presented the detailed report, Matt and Xu Zhixing’s scalps tingled so badly, they wanted to rush imdiately!
Back to China, to worship their partner and money god Sam!
Because the data showed
that after this sensational promotional event, Tiansi Bull’s sales in Europe and Arica increased by 382% and 507% respectively!
This ant Tiansi Bull had successfully made a big step into the European and Arican markets!
This wasn’t just “profit growth” in four simple words.
This was market expansion and channel broadening!
The long-troubled issue of Bull’s European and Arican sales had been solved, and their next step was to ride this tailwind and stride confidently to penetrate deeper into the Western markets, expanding their business empire across the ocean!
After this battle!
They also solidified the principle of Tiansi Bull: “Centering on Golden Wind, establish a long-term cooperation chanism to ensure good cooperation and promote the sustained stable developnt of the Golden Bull Challenge.”
One event, millions watching, tens of millions impacted, over one billion global views!
Extre sports enthusiasts were thrilled.
Because of such a sensational event, more people paid attention to their niche, solitary sport.
Golden Wind and Tiansi Bull gave them a stage to showcase themselves, and such stages will only increase.
Gars were happy.
The emotional impact in the ga spread to reality, Golden Cat’s influence realized through Octane, and Aik Garcia linked to Golden Wind through Octane, completing this extraordinary challenge.
This transmission of spiritual power was inspiring and moving.
Tiansi Bull was happy.
Taking full advantage of the montum, they not only borrowed Golden Wind’s influence but also advanced hand-in-hand, raising their impact in the international market.
Most importantly, opening sales channels in Europe and Arica had profound significance for their further expansion.
Gu Sheng was happy too.
He saw the cars, t Octane, received cheers, did promotion.
The giant Overwatch logo witnessed simultaneously by millions worldwide had already ignited heated discussions among global players.
The glory of 2016 was reviving, flourishing in this brand-new world, climbing toward another peak.
Everyone was happy!
Except for Shen Miaomiao, who looked utterly miserable.
“I really…”
Made a huge mistake!!!
Looking at the financial report in her hand, Shen Miaomiao’s face flushed red, as if she was a kettle sitting on fire, ready to steam out the top of her head.
“Golden Bull Challenge Event Benefit Data Summary”
A thick stack.
All compiled by the finance lady of Golden Wind.
The finance lady was quite professional.
Plus, Golden Wind’s overall profitability had always been excellent, with clean and transparent accounts. Apart from being busy at the start and end of the month, things were usually fine.
But this ti, because the challenge was their first investnt outside the ga,
she put 120% effort into compiling and organizing all the data in detail, comparing and reporting it to CEO Shen Miaomiao.
However,
Shen Miaomiao only focused on the last item in the report—
“Single-week event profit: 30.45 million dollars.”
I’m dead for sure!
Shen Miaomiao didn’t bother looking further.
After all, this one item was enough to declare this event project’s derivative bills a failure.
Ten million invested!
Thirty million returned!
The original little car race was fine!
Fun enough, without attracting too much attention, and wouldn’t stimulate excessive player purchasing desires—just right, no fuss.
But Old Gu had to ruin it!
Old Thief, you really dare to play, huh?
You really dared to sponsor people to jump from over seven thousand ters high on a plane!
No-parachute descent!
The originally cheerful silly little car race suddenly attracted nearly one million viewers flocking to watch!
Fine! Fine! Fine!
I can accept your originality. Even if you wanted a good start for the follow-up event,
I don’t care about the event rebates; I don’t expect it to succeed or bring much rebate.
I’m prepared for the great responsibility that heaven will impose on this person.
But your damn huge!
Stamped on Aik Garcia’s interception net!
Seen by nearly three million viewers worldwide simultaneously!
What the hell does that Overwatch logo an?
You’re so good at promotion, you’re risking your life???
“Dog thief!”
Thinking this, Shen Miaomiao clenched her pink fists tightly, grinding her teeth, and muttered viciously in a low voice:
“Don’t let ever see you—!”
However!
Before the words fell!
Knock knock knock.
The door knocking interrupted Shen Miaomiao’s powerless rage.
With a click, Gu Sheng appeared at the office door:
“Busy? Seems like... we’ve got a bit of trouble.”
