This Is Not a Bug but a Game Feature-Chapter 280 - 186: Where’s My Mission Reward?

The actual gameplay demonstration is indeed much better than the promotional CG animation, instantly boosting the game’s popularity and attention.

All of a sudden, the entire internet is focusing on the game "Global Evolution," with discussion topics skyrocketing.

"Does a single video really have such a great promotional effect?"

Lu was a bit surprised, apparently not expecting the promotional effect to be so explosively outstanding.

You have to know, they merely released a simple gameplay demonstration video, nothing more, without investing heavily in buying traffic and advertisements for promotion.

Yet the final promotional effect feels more outrageous than spending ten million to buy traffic and advertisements!

"AAA games come with their own traffic..."

Chen Ba explained, "Games of this caliber attract attention from the entire gaming industry, and players are naturally no exception."

"Even if we don’t actively promote, countless spotlights will focus on us, constantly watching our latest progress, which is the biggest difference between AAA games and ordinary games."

Do AAA games need to actively hype popularity?

What a joke!

GTA6 hasn’t even been released, yet rumors are flying everywhere and self-media editors are wildly taking advantage, with all kinds of confident leaks and insider information dazzling people.

All these are traffic bought by R Star?

Impossible, it’s definitely the players who want to see this content and are quite concerned about GTA6 news. So it’s behaviors by self-media editors and gaming media to attract attention and clicks through self-promotion.

"Global Evolution" is the same.

As soon as its popularity and attention increased, Chen Ba was scrolling through short videos and saw bloggers hitching onto the hype, brazenly leaking information.

[Exclusive inside scoop! "Global Evolution" priced at 500 bucks, Ba aiming for TGA’s Best Game of the Year!]

Alright, alright, alright!

Are you a parasite in Ba’s stomach? Ba doesn’t even know the pricing, yet you already know? Ba doesn’t dare pop the champagne, but you’re opening it for him?

[Independent game producer talks "Global Evolution", might open a new Chapter for domestic games, Ba is my idol...]

Yo! This title?

At first glance, Chen Ba really felt a bit flattered, not expecting his status to be so high in the minds of industry insiders.

But when he clicked open the homepage of this blogger, he found out this so-called independent game producer’s only representative work was at "university graduation project" level, which made him fall silent.

[Foreign leaks suggest "Global Evolution" might secretly contact NVIDIA, insiders claim optimization is worrying, non-high-end flagship graphics cards might struggle to run smoothly...]

This blogger has some skills, hitching onto the trend by "fabricating" a so-called foreign leak to make his sources appear more reliable.

However, this news is dumb among dumb, saying it out loud could make Chen Ba laugh his teeth off.

Indeed, when Tianba Studio was developing "Global Evolution," there was contact with graphics card vendors like NVIDIA and AMD, but what in the world is secret contact?

Bright and upright contact, okay!

And it wasn’t Chen Ba initiating the contact, but Old Huang and Su found out "Global Evolution" was a AAA game, and they voluntarily approached Tianba Studio to provide some assistance and technical support.

As for the rumors about poor optimization and non-high-end flagship graphics cards possibly not being able to run the game, it just made people speechless...

"It’s literally making something out of nothing!"

"Except for ’Star Emperor’ which is quite special, aren’t the games from our studio generally not particularly demanding on configurations?"

Lu was very indignant.

These people fabricating rumors and hitching onto the hype are just too incompetent, probably never even used their brains when writing content, daring to say anything.

Although "Global Evolution" is a AAA game, its configuration requirements are very low compared to other AAA games.

From this perspective, the optimization ability of Tianba Studio’s games is absolutely world-leading.

You might say games from Tianba Studio aren’t fun or rely on excuses, but you really can’t casually question game optimization. Look worldwide; who can optimize better than them?

"That’s why offline trials are conducted, allowing players to directly contact the game face-to-face."

Chen Ba said with a smile, "The attention on ’Global Evolution’ is too high, if we don’t proactively disclose some information, who knows what those self-media and netizens might guess!"

"I get it..."

Lu nodded, "So you permitted livestreaming, also considering this aspect?"

"Exactly!"

Such offline trials generally don’t allow livestreaming to avoid the risk of pre-release gameplay and mechanism leaks.

But this time, Chen Ba allowed livestreaming.

On one hand, it’s to satisfy the curiosity of netizens, letting them see more of "Global Evolution’s" content and intelligence.

On the other hand, Tianba’s game development progress is extremely swift; confidentiality isn’t that strict, because no matter how confidential, the finished product will be released in a few months.

Moreover...

The trial is just half an hour long; on the first playthrough, without any guidance or strategy, how many bosses can players defeat?

The experience time is so short that parts of the storyline and mechanisms that can be leaked become even less.

No need to worry too much!

Having said this, Chen Ba inspected the newly arranged venues and equipment.

The number of trial slots isn’t many, only over 200 people in total, with 50 people being platform hosts and media representatives, while the remaining 150 are selected from Tianba Community through volunteer registration.
