【I updated too, why can’t I see this PV?】
【Upstairs, Mihoyo directly updated 2 chapters of the story, but there are several PVs. Every time you log in, you’ll be randomly shown a PV. If you want to see it, you can log in several times.】
【Indeed, I saw the PVs of Herrscher of Reason and Azure Empyrea. Wuwuwu… There’s even Kiana Kaslana’s backstory in them.】
【Watching the live stream while pushing the main story, so blissful.】
【Herrscher of Reason has already graduated, Duck’s motorcycle is really cool.】
【Cool? Seele’s skills are cooler, okay? And the animation effects, Mihoyo is really too good…】
………
After watching the promotional PV, the barrage in the live stream became incredibly lively.
Almost none of them were about *Girl’s Expedition* anymore.
"XDM, let's start with two 648s and see how many characters we can pull."
To avoid delaying, Doluo quickly topped up two 648s.
"Although I don't play this game, the PV just now was truly shocking. Moreover, after playing for a dozen minutes, I personally think this game is very good."
"Just setting aside gameplay and visuals, just talking about Mihoyo's attitude towards this game, I think these two 648s are totally worth it."
"Have you guys seen this… every version releases an animated short and a theme song? I haven't seen anything like it anyway~"
Hearing Doluo's words, the barrage was filled with agreement.
The games in this world, not to mention music and short films, the stories are all trash. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say they have no story at all.
Logging in means grinding and leveling, PvP, and a one-stop shop for monthly card packages.
Don't spend money, you can't even defeat monsters, let alone PvP.
Some even spend money, but still get stepped on by wealthier players and ridiculed.
Some even send shills to deliberately taunt and provoke you in front of you, just to make you spend money to beat them…
"Let's start pulling!"
Speaking, Doluo didn't hesitate at all, directly and quickly clicking a few ten-pulls.
"Wow~ every ten-pull gives an A-rank Valkyrie? This should be stronger than my three initial B-ranks, right?"
When he reached the 40th pull, S-rank Seele came out.
"Whoa~ so coincidentally, the two 648s I topped up are just enough to finish the pull!"
At this time, the barrage was saying to claim the crystals in the mail.
But Doluo waved his hand: "Let's pull later after the stream ends. I'll try out the new characters I just pulled, and then I'll show you all Penguin's new game *Girl's Expedition*."
As he spoke, Doluo clicked on the level, chose a few Valkyries he thought looked good, and started playing.
"So many characters… it's so hard to choose…"
After some deliberation, Doluo still chose Seele, Rita, and Fu Hua.
The game began. Doluo still used the perspective of an ordinary player to evaluate the pros and cons of this game.
But… what came out of his mouth were almost all advantages…
"Sorry… I really want to find some drawbacks… but… I really can't find any flaws in this game…"
"I swear, Mihoyo definitely hasn't paid me."
"You guys don't believe me? This damn Eden is helping this game speak, with Eden as a giant star, Mihoyo shouldn't need to hire me, a small streamer, to advertise, right!"
"Okay, let's go take a look at Penguin's *Girl's Expedition*."
While clicking on the newly downloaded *Girl's Expedition*, Doluo kept saying, "To be honest, after playing *Honkai Impact 3rd* for a dozen minutes, I'm really hooked."
"I've played so many single-player games, the current size of this game is no smaller than some single-player games."
"Besides, you guys said the essence of this game is in the story… Tsk tsk… To be honest, I'm a little regretful for getting into it late."
"Mainly… I always looked down on mobile games… Don't get mad, it's a normal chain of contempt in the gaming circle."
"After all, in the eyes of most people, mobile games are just like that, the playability definitely can't compare to PC games and some single-player masterpieces."
"After all, if you can make a mobile game with extremely high playability, why not just make a PC game or a single-player masterpiece, right?"
"Alright, alright, let's skip the *Honkai Impact 3rd* topic, let's take a look at Penguin's new game."
As he spoke, he quickly created an account.
"A small studio can make a high-quality game like *Honkai Impact 3rd*, Penguin, such a big company, shouldn't make something worse than *Honkai* right?"
As the login screen loaded, viewers could see the anticipation in Doluo's eyes.
The game finally loaded in.
To his surprise, Penguin's game also used an animated short for the opening.
"Whoa~ This quality is on par with Mihoyo's! Looks like Penguin is serious!"
In the short, a red-haired yujie, a white-haired loli, carrying heavy machine guns, were interspersed on the battlefield.
The fluidity of the animation was excellent, and the scene was very intense.
But for some reason, Doluo didn't get the same feeling of awe that *Honkai Impact 3rd*'s short brought him.
Soon the short ended, and the game went straight to the battle screen.
Doluo skipped some of the tutorials and pulled the camera, looking around at the red-haired yujie he was controlling.
However…
When he zoomed in the camera, he was directly scared.
"Damn!! What the hell is this!! This red-haired yujie looks too different from the one in the short!"
He couldn't tell from the back, but from the front, this art style was simply bizarre.
The red-haired yujie's face was still pretty, a typical oval face with big eyes and fiery red lips.
But… it looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.
If you had to explain it, it was like a real person got a Barbie doll face.
As an experienced gamer, Doluo quickly found the key.
"I understand!! It must be the game engine… or the rendering problem."
"As we all know, for this kind of 2D anime style game, *Honkai Impact 3rd* is considered the pioneer, the previous game art style is biased towards realistic style."
"So I guess the game engine or rendering technology of *Honkai Impact 3rd* should be different."
"But Penguin's game uses an anime style, but… the game engine and rendering style still use the old methods."
"Don't understand?"
"Let me explain it this way, everyone should watch anime, right? There are many different art styles in anime."
"There are pure 2D animation, pure 3D animation, and 2D+3D animation."
"Using different rendering methods, the effects of the animation can also be different."
"So maybe Penguin only learned the art style of *Honkai Impact 3rd* but not the rendering method of *Honkai Impact 3rd*, so the picture looks a little… out of place."
"I'm not saying Penguin is bad, after all, for such a big company, it's not a problem to research a game engine."
"It's mainly because they haven't had any experience with this kind of 3D anime style before…"
"This is just my guess, after all, I'm just a smelly gamer, I don't have any experience in making games, if I'm wrong…"
"Then just pretend I'm showing off, hehe~"
Actually, in terms of visuals, it's not Penguin's fault.
Even if you let someone from another game company do it, they wouldn't be able to achieve *Honkai Impact 3rd*'s natural level in just half a month.
After all, the development of games in this world is far behind Earth, almost all games in the world are using the same game engine and rendering methods.
On the other hand, on Earth, just game engines alone have several different options.
Rendering technology is the same.
So when *Honkai Impact 3rd* debuted in this world, it brought such a shock to the people of this world.
And *Honkai Impact 3rd* might not even be considered anything on Earth.
But in this world, it really has a bit of a dimensional strike feel to it.
Major game companies around the world have actually been quietly learning from *Honkai Impact 3rd*.
Whether it's gameplay or operation mode…
It's safe to say that Penguin is a bit too eager to get things done.
They just copied *Honkai Impact 3rd*'s gameplay and operation mode.
But *Honkai Impact 3rd*'s 3D anime rendering technology, they haven't fully researched it at all.
