Because the titles of these short videos are all quite sensational.
They often use titles like "The World's Strongest Game, Everyone Screamed After Trying it!"
"Shocking! Dragon Nation's New Game is a Game Changer, Rumor Has It the Developer is Mentally Ill"
"Only Three Seconds, You'll Fall in Love with This Explosive Game"
"I'm Not Targeting Anyone, But All the 3A Games in This Room are Garbage!"
Titles like these are everywhere.
Overseas netizens find it hard to ignore them.
Of course, most netizens and well-known game streamers were dismissive when they saw these titles.
Even if they were attracted by the titles and clicked on the videos, most of them were just watching for entertainment.
The reason is simple.
Dragon Nation's game production level in the past was truly terrible.
Although Tencent and other large companies, judging by their revenue, have joined the ranks of the world's top companies.
However, most of this revenue was earned through various gacha, skin, and other pay-to-win schemes.
The quality of the game itself is completely unworthy of the level of revenue.
It's no good in terms of art, playability, plot, action design, rendering, or background music.
It's completely screwed up in every way, a true six-sided garbage.
Game companies and developers seem to have poured all their ingenuity into designing various gacha events and card collecting mechanics.
Their skills in this area are indeed outstanding.
In the eyes of many professional streamers, Dragon Nation's games are synonymous with trash.
On foreign websites, all short videos about Dragon Nation games with high playback counts are basically filled with mockery, even insults.
Dragon Nation netizens can only sigh helplessly at this situation.
It's just like the national football team.
The things they produce are truly terrible.
Even when we go head-to-head, we don't have the confidence to win.
Many people are even angry and frustrated and join in the scolding.
However, after the gameplay of "Black Myth: Wukong" was released, the situation changed completely.
Domestic netizens were filled with a sense of vindication as they edited these short videos.
It didn't take long.
Some well-known game streamers and players overseas opened these short videos.
They were all stunned.
The game presented in the short video indeed carries a strong Dragon Nation style.
It has a pure and authentic Chinese aesthetic.
Whether it's the mountains and rivers, music, sound effects, or various buildings, characters, clothing, weapons, etc., they all carry a strong Chinese style.
The problem is, the entire game looks extremely explosive.
The visual effects of the opening CG are comparable to those of a fantasy blockbuster.
The oppressive feeling from the Four Heavenly Kings and the Heavenly Soldiers makes it hard to breathe.
The effect of flying on the Nimbus cloud is very exciting.
The flowers, plants, and trees in the mountains and rivers are all very realistic, even each leaf, the dewdrops on the leaves, the sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves in the forest, the chirping of insects and the singing of birds are all incredibly clear.
As for the monkey, even the hairs on its body are incredibly clear.
You can even feel its unruly, rough texture.
The iron staff feels rough and heavy.
It's magnificent where it needs to be magnificent, and simple where it needs to be simple.
The action is also very smooth.
It looks like the real world!
Almost all viewers who saw these short videos had one question.
Is this really a game made in Dragon Nation?
But considering the Dragon Nation games they had seen before, everyone's answer was no way!
Could it be that some big overseas company saw the Dragon Nation market and deliberately developed a game with a Dragon Nation cultural background?
That's still a possibility.
After all, Dragon Nation's game development level is terrible, but it doesn't stop Dragon Nation players from having real money in their pockets.
There are indeed some game companies that have targeted the Dragon Nation market.
They have also tried to create some games with a Dragon Nation background.
But the problem is, these games developed by overseas companies, because they are led by foreigners, the Dragon Nation culture in the game is just an embellishment.
It's just some stereotypical imagery like cheongsam, kung fu, and traditional Chinese opera.
They can't even produce a decent Chinese landscape, and the various buildings and clothing are neither east nor west, strange and bizarre.
It wasn't until a few hours later that someone finally discovered a clue.
"Look everyone, there's already a listing announcement on the S platform!"
"This game is called BlackMythWukong, and it's supposed to be released for sale tomorrow."
"The one listing it is a Dragon Nation person!"
"No way, this game was really made by Dragon Nation people?"
"Just go see for yourself."
...
Soon, countless players flocked to the S platform, the world's largest game download platform.
Soon everyone discovered that "BlackMythWukong" had indeed appeared on the platform.
However, it was not yet possible to purchase or download it.
But the game's opening CG was available for viewing.
For a while, almost everyone was frantically downloading and watching the opening CG of "BlackMyth: Wukong."
Soon, these viewers discovered that the clips they had seen on the short video platform before.
They were real!
The giant deity and the Four Heavenly Kings, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, all resembling mountains.
The explosive battle scene between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
All the way to the Great Sage becoming a six-rooted being.
The destined one embarking on his journey.
Everything was real.
The CG graphics of the game itself are even more explosive than the short videos edited by the netizens before.
After all, it's the 震撼 of blue-ray ultra-HD quality close-ups.
It didn't take long before the comment section of "BlackMyth: Wukong" exploded.
"My god! What am I seeing? Is this a visual effects blockbuster?"
"It's so stunning, this is the most explosive opening CG I've seen in ten years of playing games."
"Isn't this more exciting than watching the increasingly boring superhero movies in theaters?"
"I love this monkey, is his name Wukong? Does this name have any special meaning?"
"It's said to be adapted from a novel from Dragon Nation written over 400 years ago."
"My god, Dragon Nation people wrote such an excellent novel over 400 years ago? I'll definitely check it out if I have the chance."
"No, I still don't believe this was made by Dragon Nation people!"
"Don't be fooled everyone, you all saw the game graphics, think about it carefully, does it match Dragon Nation's standards?"
"I know, it must be a scam, it's just a pretty cover. In Dragon Nation, we call it hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat."
"It's a broken thing that tricks people into charging money, gacha, and pulling cards, I saw through it in an instant."
The game comment section is extremely hot.
There are all kinds of opinions.
But almost everyone has an expectation in their hearts.
Whether it's gold or a big disappointment, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, when it officially goes on sale, everything will be revealed.
Almost everyone is looking forward to this moment.
