As players dig, more and more information is revealed bit by bit.
At the same time, many players have also discovered that the contents of these easter eggs are really hidden in all kinds of ways.
Some are relatively easy to find, and some are particularly hidden.
Some are easy to find, such as the newspaper at the gate of the VR theme camp of "Red Dead Redemption", and you can find the news of "Uncharted" by picking it up and reading it.
And some of the ones that are hidden deeper, which makes countless players vomit blood, is that one of them is actually hidden in the corner of the basement of "Escape".
Although the awake mode has been updated on the VR platform, this does not mean that horror games are not scary at all.
To describe it in numbers, it is the same horror game. The PC version has a fear value of 5 and the VR version has a fear value of 10. After turning on the sober mode, it becomes 7.
In the end, more and more information was collected by the players. Although some of it may have been missed, it was generally understood.
Many players on the Internet are exchanging relevant information about themselves.
"I was fishing on the beach next to the ancient tree forest in "Monster Hunter: World" and caught a diary, but I could only see two pages, which recorded some content about Shangri-La."
"Damn it, I caught a diary, that's not scientific!"
"Stop talking about science! I also found a diary on a table leg in the dwarf blacksmith shop in Stormwind City! It's similar to yours, but what I recorded is about the City of Thousand Pillars."
Many players exchanged their own content with each other, and finally a rough image and template appeared.
The name of the game is, not surprisingly, "Uncharted".
The protagonist of the game is a man named Nathan Drake.
From the collected diary fragments and some newspaper contents, the players finally made a summary.
Nathan Dray, a great explorer, went deep into the waters of Panama to find the coffin of Francis Drake and discovered the Lost Land of Gold.
He also followed the exploration footsteps of the deceased celebrity Marco Polo, and finally discovered the legendary paradise on earth: Shangri-La.
He also traveled to the Arabian Peninsula and went deep into the desert to find the lost ancient city: the City of Thousand Pillars.
At the same time, the pirate paradise created by the great pirate Henry Avery, the legendary pirate utopia: Libertaria was also unearthed.
A man who can be described as a legend.
Obviously, this is an action-adventure game with a treasure hunt theme.
But what makes many players strange is that they have never heard of the City of Thousand Pillars, the Golden Country, and the Island Paradise.
The only one that is more familiar is Shangri-La.
But if you haven’t heard of it, you haven’t heard of it. In the Internet information age, why can’t we search for things we don’t know
So players soon discovered that these ruins really had many rumors in history, some of which were true and some false.
For example, the City of Thousand Pillars comes from the archaeological experience of the British military officer "Lawrence of Arabia" who promoted Arab independence in the 20th century in the Middle East when he was an archaeologist in his early years.
Shangri-La is also related to Marco Polo’s treasure and the city of ruins with legends and allusions.
However, these relics are treasures that have only been mentioned in historical documents and have many folklore legends, but have never been truly confirmed.
This kind of treasures and stories that are both true and false can be said to have attracted the interest of many players.
After collecting this information, players swarmed to Chen Xu's official blog and bombarded him with questions.
But they didn't worry for long. Chen Xu soon sent an official blog.
One sentence and four pictures.
'You've guessed it. '
Then four original concept images were released.
The first picture is of Nathan Drett and Elena sitting on the bow of the boat sailing towards the sunset in the distance.
The second picture shows Nathan Gretel and Elena in front of a wooden fence, looking at the magnificent snow-capped mountains in the distance.
In the third picture of the harbor, Nathan Drake and Elena are walking towards the harbor.
The fourth picture shows Nathan Drake and Jelena hugging each other in front of the beach.
The four accompanying pictures correspond to four different stories in "Uncharted".
In addition, this is also a hint from Chen Xu.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, the players instantly went crazy.
Although it is almost 99% certain, without official confirmation, it can only be said to be speculation.
but now
Hammered!
This is the trailer and content of the new game!
"Treasure hunting theme, action adventure! Chen Xu actually wants to do this type!?"
"Awesome! There haven't been any particularly interesting treasure hunt-themed games in recent years. You can look forward to it being produced by Nebula Games!"
"I just said, why has Chen Xu been silent all this time? The publicity department actually did this!"
“By the way, the content of the easter eggs has been completely completed. I don’t know what the development progress of this game is!”
“The me three years ago would have told you that the game is almost ready; the me two years ago would have told you that the game should be almost ready; the me one year ago would have told you that the game is already in the works; and the me now Let me tell you, Mr. Chen probably didn’t even make a promotional video, so he could only fool us by planting Easter eggs and showing original concept drawings!”
"Fuck! The truth is revealed!"
… … … …
"The players don't realize my good intentions at all."
In the rest area of Nebula Games, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh while scrolling through his mobile phone.
Why use the Easter egg mode
Although it does have a little bit to do with the current development content, it is not the most important thing!
What he wants is for players to have the surprise of participating in the discovery!
There are also original concept drawings. Isn’t this meant to hint to players that this will be a more happy ending
When will players realize their good intentions
"By the way, if the players know what you are thinking, Mr. Chen, then they should probably worry about Nathan Drake." Yang Xin next to him couldn't help but complain.
"Ahem! After this game, players' impressions of me will definitely change. In time, the title of 'Soldier of Love' will become well-deserved!"
"Okay, the crew has already made arrangements. Next we have to play something big." Chen Xu coughed twice and said.
… … …
Online players are constantly discussing "Uncharted", and NetDragon, Atari and other game manufacturers are all stunned.
It doesn’t make sense anymore! ? Are you talking about martial ethics
Promote it, just publicize it. Let's just put all kinds of information on paper and put it together.
Why do you have so many sexy moves in your Nebula game!
It was also announced in the form of easter eggs!
It’s really yours!
However, it is a pain in the ass, but NetDragon and Atari also understand this.
That's why Nebula Games is able to increase the popularity of new games in this way.
It also has something to do with players’ expectations, which is also caused by Nebula Games’ good reputation.
Let players participate in this easter egg activity voluntarily.
If they do it, there are only two situations.
The first type is ignored.
The second is to spend money on your own to build momentum.
It can be said that it is too difficult to use players' expectations to increase the popularity of the game like Nebula Games.
