Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 304: Overwatch! The Glorious Launch!

[War...]

[When this world crumbled and fell apart, new hope arose in response]

[Elites from all over the world gathered to end the war and rebuild order]

[They are the Watchers]

[These soldiers, scientists, explorers, and extraordinary individuals, through unrelenting efforts, finally brought peace to the world]

[And now, the belief in equality and freedom they left behind will be passed down through generations...]

The cara gradually zood out. A little boy dressed in orange glanced excitedly at the Overwatch logo appearing at the end of the large screen.

“Wow! This is so cool!”

As he spoke, the boy eagerly caught up to his older brother—a teenager in a blue hoodie—and happily ran into the exhibition hall.

Inside the enormous hall, various sculptures and displays stood everywhere.

There was a personal statue of Winston, models of forr Omnic units, and battle-scarred chanical equipnt.

Without a doubt, this was the Overwatch exhibition hall.

“Hey! Which hero do you like the most?”

Catching up to his brother’s pace, the lively little boy chirped like a cheerful bird.

“I like Tracer the best! She says: ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got this! Piupipiupiu—’”

While speaking, the boy mimicked dual pistols with his hands.

“Ugh…” However, the older brother found his little brother’s childish innocence a bit annoying. He sighed and kept walking forward.

But the younger boy was undeterred.

His eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new world and happily hopped toward a display case.

“Wow—Doomfist’s gauntlet!”

Inside the glass case floated a tallic chanical glove, shining with a powerful glow.

“They say it can even smash a skyscraper…”

“But he still can’t beat Captain Winston! His ultimate is—Primal Rage! Roar—!”

“Alright…”

Seeing his brother’s excited enthusiasm, the older brother lacked interest.

“What you’re seeing is just holographic projections. The real Overwatch team disbanded a long ti ago.”

“Hey—”

Upon hearing this, the boy pouted, displeased. He raised his fists toward his brother’s back, shaping his hands like cannons.

“Boom—!”

Boom!

Suddenly!

With his voice-over, the entire exhibition hall began to shake!

The boy froze on the spot!

Imdiately followed by a thunderous crash!

Bang!

Crash!

Suddenly!

With the shattering of the glass ceiling, a giant gorilla clad in white armor smashed through the skylight and plumted from above!

!!!

At the sa ti!

A stunning woman in a tight violet bodysuit with a plunging neckline, long elegant legs, and wearing a tactical helt raised her hand!

Snap!

With graceful and nimble movents, she flipped backward, landing on a crossbeam inside the hall. She raised her transforming sniper rifle, aid at Winston, and fired in quick succession!

Bang! Bang!

Sparks flew, and in the livestream chat, XT bit his finger in excitent as he crouched on his esports chair!

“Whoa—damn! Widowmaker’s model is insanely good!”

“I can’t take it, brothers, seriously, this trailer is making open my browser nonstop…”

Indeed!

Just three days after the “Apex Pri discount disaster”,

Without any warning,

After being silent for two whole months,

Overwatch suddenly released an “ultimate trailer”!

With the motto “Immovable as a mountain, aggressive as fire!”

With Golden Wind’s trailer release, including Yiyou, XunTeng, Daily Gaming News, Player Campfire, Shark livestream, Twitch, and a host of strears and platforms—even China Digital Entertainnt Association—various gaming platforms, dia, and livestreams followed suit!

Over 20 well-known dostic and international gaming organizations and personalities simultaneously stood behind Overwatch, jointly releasing this ultimate trailer—

“Haha, the exhibition’s pretty decent, huh?”

Facing the two brothers dumbfounded, Winston braved Widowmaker’s sniper shots, adjusted his glasses, and smiled while shielding them.

“But now’s not the ti for sightseeing. Let’s hide first!”

With tense music playing, Winston escorted the two brothers away, then turned to charge at the beautiful Widowmaker who kept sniping him.

But the next mont!

“Hehehehehe…”

Amid thick black smoke, Reaper appeared, clad in a black robe and wearing a mask, dual-wielding massive shotguns.

Trigger pulled, forcing Winston to retreat step by step!

On this side, Reaper tangled with Winston.

anwhile, Widowmaker caught her breath, scanned her scope, locked onto the Doomfist gauntlet, and smirked:

“Hmph, found it…”

But before she finished speaking,

Zoom!

A flash of light lit up, and a stylish girl with goggles and tousled hair suddenly appeared behind her:

“Let see? What did you find?”

The 2v2 chaotic battle began!

Amid a hailstorm of bullets, Winston charged fearlessly with a roar, Reaper’s shotgun tore through enemies like a shadow, Widowmaker fired rapid shots, and Tracer darted through the battlefield with dazzling agility!

However!

Just as Widowmaker shattered the glass first and was about to grab the gauntlet!

The teenager who was previously disinterested suddenly stood up bravely after witnessing the true Overwatch!

A punch!

A huge energy wave rippled out.

Widowmaker was blasted away, and the tide of battle instantly turned!

In the end, with Winston’s Primal Rage and Tracer’s Blink and Dash sandwiching them, Reaper and Widowmaker temporarily abandoned their plan to snatch the gauntlet and quickly retreated. Winston leapt out through the shattered skylight, chasing after them.

Amid the wreckage, calm returned.

The boy dazedly removed the gauntlet from his arm and held it out to Tracer.

Tracer looked at the two brave brothers and gave a warm, sincere smile:

“Thank you, it’s all thanks to you.”

“This world needs more heroes...”

Accompanied by grand symphonic music,

On the desperate battlefield, a blue figure soared through the clouds, diving in to bomb—

[We are hope]

In a narrow alley, two holess n cowered in a corner. A burly warrior in armor spread a shield over them, blocking deadly Molotov cocktails.

[We are glory]

Snowflakes filled the sky. Facing a massive Omnic enemy, a pink ch raised a flurry of snow, fearlessly charging the giant foe—

[We are courage]

During a vault robbery, a soldier wearing a laser mask dropped from above, smashing his heavy rifle stock into a cocky thug—

[We are justice]

Beneath crumbled ruins, a weak little girl weakly stretched out a desperate hand. The next mont, golden light descended from the sky—

[We are rcy]

Among swirling flower petals, a ninja clad in ch armor with a long blade sat atop an Omnic corpse—

[We are harmony]

As dawn rose, the newborn sun bathed Winston’s face with warm light.

Winston pushed his glasses up and smiled warmly—

[We are Overwatch!]

At this mont!

The symphony reached its climax!

In the pitch-black darkness, the Overwatch emblem slowly appeared, shining brilliantly!

[May 5th]

[Overwatch]

[Coming Soon—A Glorious Launch]

Bang!

The bass dropped, causing a stir in the livestream chat—

“Finally confird the release date!”

“This feels right! The vibe is back!”

“Please, everyone who didn’t refund Apex Pri, hurry up and refund. The real ga is coming!”

“Damn, feels good, gotta be Little Yellow.”

“This trailer is seriously top-notch.”

That said, although Apex Pri was released quickly, it seed they never really put out a trailer, huh?

They were just anxious, trying to beat Little Yellow’s release. Honestly, the Apex Pri project plan’s origin is hard to say.

It really feels like Apex Pri is a half-finished product laced with CloudPower’s arrogance.

All I can say is, they’re dood!

Hopefully, Little Yellow can push harder.

“Ahhh, there’s still a month left! I’m gonna die without Overwatch to play!”

“Got the Yellow addiction, huh?”

“This is what a real ga looks like…”

…

Exquisite, delicate, passionate, touching.

It seed players were overwheld by Apex Pri’s hype.

Until Golden Wind’s ultimate trailer appeared out of nowhere, players suddenly realized what a complete ga should really be.

It should be as delicate and ticulously crafted as Overwatch.

Not rushed and slapped together like Apex Pri.

It should be as refined and dignified as Overwatch.

Not pandering to minorities for so-called acceptance like Apex Pri.

It should be as passionate and stirring as Overwatch.

Not numb, rigid, and soulless like Apex Pri.

It should be as heartfelt and moving as Overwatch.

Not just chasing money and filled with a stench of greed like Apex Pri.

However,

Golden Wind’s refinent went even further.

This ti, Gu Sheng wasn’t rushing to release. After all, he already had a clear idea of Apex Pri’s fate.

So this round, the team had more ti to polish the ga.

The release date confirmation alone was enough to stir up the gaming world, sparking eager discussion and anticipation.

But when Gu Sheng’s personal social dia account simultaneously updated with dozens of Overwatch concept art pages!

It caused an even bigger splash!

This ca at a critical survival mont for Apex Pri!

Players had already been loudly condemning CloudPower’s ga, with high attention.

And the debate over “Who copied whom, Overwatch or Apex Pri?” had never been settled!

But now!

After a long silence, Overwatch dropped a bomb!

Not only releasing its ultimate trailer, but also revealing a concept art book designed since the end of last year.

This book visually showed players the entire process of heroes’ design, from initial sketches to final models.

It was clear that many Apex Pri hero designs were actually transitional drafts discarded from Overwatch’s hero designs!

Of course, CloudPower could claim this was Golden Wind’s rushed fake concept art.

But the problem was—

They needed to produce their own “real concept art book” first.

Did CloudPower have one?

Of course not.

They had basically stolen all their data from Golden Wind, taking over midway through developnt. They had no concept art book.

anwhile, the avalanche of player refunds, overwhelming insults, and CloudPower’s internal chaos had them overwheld.

How could they possibly find ti to make a “real concept art book”?

Thus, the previously uncertain plagiarism issue was finally sealed by the players!

Another major cri added to Konik’s record!

And Overwatch’s rightful position was proven!

From project initiation, being noticed by CloudPower, setting deliberate traps,

To now, striking hard and delivering a crushing blow!

Step by step, Gu Sheng and his Golden Wind operated like a silent, unstoppable heavy tank, dominating the ga market this early sumr.

They beca an invincible force in the quiet ga season, leading Yiyou and XunTeng platforms to charge toward the international market, sounding the horn of offense!

And Golden Wind also launched pre-orders for the first ti!

Starting April 15th, every player who bought the pre-order version would receive a “Pre-order Collector’s Weapon Pack.”

What exactly was inside? Golden Wind kept it a mystery, wanting to keep so suspense.

A series of announcents and pre-order reveals followed.

Shen Miaomiao felt completely disheartened.

Looking at her ledger—

[Sub-project: Overwatch]

[Project investnt amount: 138 million dollars]

[Project settlent ti: 7 days ( 0 days)]

[Project rebate multiplier: 1018 tis ( 0 tis)]

[Current revenue amount: 0 dollars]

[Expected rebate amount: 138 billion dollars]

[Remaining settlent ti: Waiting to start]

A thousand tis!

One hundred thirty-eight billion!

Gone! Gone! Gone!

All gone!

Moreover, with pre-orders opening, this ledger of hers might beco the first ever “failed rebate” case where the rebate failed before the project even began!

CloudPower, whom she once “placed great hopes” on, ended up even worse than Kora!

Even if Kora was trash, they at least held their ground in two clashes against us.

Even if they died, they died fighting us.

But CloudPower?

They didn’t just steal or snatch!

They had to show off! Had to snatch our prior release! Tried to seize our market, squeeze our player base, and suppress our ga promotion.

Damn—

Fun, huh? Fire’s out now, right?

I heard that so far, due to Apex Pri’s negative impact, they’ve lost nearly one billion dollars overall, right?

Serves you right!!!

We haven’t even entered the stage yet, and you already screwed yourselves over. You deserve to die!

However!

Just as Shen Miaomiao lanted that the 10.03 million she spent on rebate multiplier coupons was about to go down the drain,

Good news arrived—

By the end of Overwatch’s first pre-order week, total pre-order sales reached only 320,000 copies.

And the good news didn’t stop there!
