"Wow—"

Quite a few people in the chat barrage had seen or had some basic knowledge of this work.

It's no exaggeration to say this is an absolutely explosive theme!

"Holy shit, are they creating their own series now?"

"CloudPower really cracks me up, pure free giveaway"

"Just watch, if this game becomes a smash hit, Konik will have a heart attack on the spot"

"My assessment is: well deserved death"

"Probably going to be a major move"

"Is this Golden Wind's first FPS to debut at the Four Major Battles?"

"RE7 technically isn't really FPS, right? After all, on Madhouse Difficulty you don't get many shooting opportunities (smirk)"

...

Just as the audience was excitedly discussing!

They heard Gu Sheng continue:

"This work currently aims to match Sekiro in industrial standards, while the overall plot arrangement will be on par with TTF."

Hiss—!

Upon hearing this, Peng Peng couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

Sekiro's industrial quality!

Titanfall's plot quality!

You need to understand!

From what he knew, Sekiro's industrial standards and investment level could be considered Golden Wind's strongest ever.

Although in terms of investment, It Takes Two's 212 million dollars ultimately slightly exceeded Sekiro's.

But don't forget, It Takes Two is a dual-platform game, with a significant portion of costs going into platform conversion!

So Sekiro's industrial quality isn't just top-notch among Golden Wind's games—even globally, it's enough to rank among the best!

As for the plot matching Titanfall!

That's even more reason to gasp in astonishment!

Why did Golden Wind become famous worldwide back then?

It relied entirely on Titanfall's thrilling plot and level design!

And counting back, it seems Golden Wind hasn't released a shooting game focused on plot since Titanfall!

So now!

Hearing Gu Sheng personally say it will match TTF, how could players not get excited!

But that's not all!

"According to current plans, this series is preparing for a trilogy,"

Gu Sheng said:

"Three parts total—beginning, middle, and end—connected as one complete game."

"However, in this story, we won't focus on a single individual like Jack Cooper anymore."

"This is a story about a squad, and also about many people."

"The overall plan is to simultaneously launch multiplayer mode when the entire game trilogy is released."

"Overall, this is a very big game and an excellent story."

"It's no exaggeration to say,"

"This is what I consider Golden Wind's best story-driven shooting game ever."

Buzz—!!!

These words!

Shocked everyone present!

Golden Wind's best story-driven FPS ever!

What does this mean?

This means that in Gu Sheng's view, this work even surpasses Titanfall!

And Titanfall, since its release, has remained standing firm on its divine pedestal!

Even now, looking at Yiyou X2 motion-sensing pod game sales numbers, Titanfall consistently holds a crushing first place!

Surpassing his own previously set benchmark?!

Everyone found it hard to imagine what kind of groundbreaking work this could be!

"Holy shit... first time hearing Old Thief introduce a game like this"

"Haven't seen Old Thief this arrogant in a long time..."

"So fucking awesome? Wouldn't that directly dominate Higashitsu Gaming Festival?"

"This time probably no one dares to mess with Golden Wind's momentum"

"Indeed, since Old Thief said so, even CloudPower needs to carefully consider"

"CloudPower probably stockpiling quick-acting heart relief pills right now"

"Hahahahahaha..."

"If Melancholy Blues really becomes a smash hit, Konik will become the gaming circle's super joke"

"True, though It Takes Two already proved Melancholy Blues' capabilities are fine, but if this sells explosively too, then CloudPower really missed the ultimate cash cow—this is a series IP after all..."

"Ahhh—shouldn't have watched, now I'm even more anxious and impatient"

"Indeed, I already want to see it now..."

...

Intense heated discussions!

And at this point!

The groundbreaking story-driven FPS masterpiece that Gu Sheng had been secretly developing with Melancholy Blues finally surfaced.

Nuclear crisis, US-Russia war, trilogy, plot-driven...

If besides Gu Sheng, someone else had transmigrated into this world, they would surely be astonished by Gu Sheng's incredible creativity, miraculously combining Tom Clancy with this trilogy!

After all, for any player familiar with FPS genre games, this would be extremely familiar!

This was the peak classic from Gu Sheng's previous life!

This was the foundational work for Golden Wind's series in this world!

"Tom Clancy's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"

Correct!

This time!

Gu Sheng didn't choose those original games developed by his former employer in his previous life, such as "Rainbow Six," "The Division," "Ghost Recon," etc.

Instead, he drew inspiration directly from "The Sum of All Fears," combining the Tom Clancy series IP with Call of Duty!

This arrangement naturally had his reasoning!

Actually, even before It Takes Two, Gu Sheng had been contemplating what work Melancholy Blues should develop next.

Parallel universe's Ubsoft indeed!

But upon careful thought, not ideal.

This series is too grand, and in this world where Assassin's Creed has never appeared, simply releasing concept art would make players immediately associate it with Sekiro, naturally thinking it's another wolf-type game.

And Sekiro's release date is still too recent, less than a year ago.

Moreover, the Assassin's Creed series is still just a bunch of drafts in Melancholy Blues' hands—he hasn't even finished reviewing them all, unable to integrate and process them.

In this situation, Gu Sheng turned his attention back to the ready-made Tom Clancy series.

But problems followed one after another.

Are the games in this series good?

Without doubt, they're all excellent.

But they also share the same issues—

Unable to carry the main banner.

Whether due to flat plots, repetitive genres, or simply being too formulaic with question marks filling the screen.

More or less, these problems give them certain limitations, making them insufficient to become foundational works that can shoulder major responsibility.

Tom Clancy is a treasure trove.

Gu Sheng needed an earth-shattering work to establish this series' status.

And when talking about king bombs in shooting games!

Naturally, one can't avoid the Call of Duty series.

Thus!

These two series that had nothing to do with each other in the previous life miraculously merged together under Gu Sheng's ingenious combination—

Modern Warfare trilogy!

The story starts with old immortal Price's cigar and ends with his cigar.

Actually, originally Gu Sheng had some personal bias, wondering if he could set Task Force 141 as a UN force, adding some Huaguo elements.

But this idea was quickly rejected by higher-ups.

The reason being: "Huaguo is a peace-loving country; we never provoke wars nor participate in other countries' politics. The only reason we take up arms is to protect our homeland."

Alright.

Gu Sheng clapped his hands—then no changes, better not go against higher-ups.

Let's keep the original flavor, preserve the original plot from the previous life, let Zakhaev, Shepherd, and Makarov be the big villains, let the Warsaw Pact and the US go to war.

Just somewhat regrettably, with such directives, he had to abandon another series' story mode that could rival Call of Duty.

Jin Jie can't survive, when the time comes directly defend Shanghai, dragon's rise then.

The game project was established and quickly entered development phase.

Regarding this, Shen Miaomiao naturally didn't have many specific instructions.

This is the main project.

Since the system evolved, Shen Miaomiao's requirement for main projects is no requirements.

Losing money is fine, making money is also okay—anyway she'll basically leverage 100x and wait for losses.

With this news revealed!

A single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

You need to understand!

Previous speculation about Golden Wind's secretly developed masterpiece was still vague—neither players nor competitors were very certain.

But now!

With the broadcast of Longing for Life's first episode and Gu Sheng's personal confirmation!

The gaming circle instantly erupted!

Although amidst warm, harmonious atmosphere and joyful laughter, the first episode of Longing successfully concluded, with Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao leaving laughter at Luogu House.

But when the news spread, various competitors couldn't laugh anymore!

For no other reason!

Only because Gu Sheng's words were too arrogant—

A ["best story-driven FPS ever"]?!

Instantly, all competitors had only one thought in mind—

Fuck!

Dodge!

Quickly fucking dodge away from them!

Gu Sheng said this work is prepared for this year's Higashitsu Gaming Festival battle.

Meaning this game's release time is roughly around November, two months from now.

So during this period!

From November 1st to December 31st!

If you still have eyes, make your FPS games hold back or rush forward.

Release before them or after them—doesn't matter, even delay is acceptable, just don't conflict with them!

Because this time.

Golden Wind's madly charging locomotive is coming with full force!

Too brutal.

Even within ten minutes after this day's Longing broadcast, two hashtags about Golden Wind and Melancholy Blues rushed into top five hot search rankings!

This was the result Gu Sheng anticipated.

But!

It somewhat exceeded Shen Miaomiao's expectations.

Not that the initial announcement of Call of Duty series brought them much topic heat—after all, that main project in Shen Miaomiao's view doesn't need to lose money; even making money would be better, otherwise she can't launch sequels.

Seems somewhat off...

《Effective views surpassed 30 million! Longing Seems to Be Gradually Leading Annual Web Variety Shows!》

《Dark Horse! Single Hour views exceeded 10 million! What Makes This Slow Variety Show So Good?》

《Second Episode Guests Still Heavyweight! Online Reservations approaching 80 Million!》

Just the day after Longing's premiere!

Less than 24 hours!

Shen Miaomiao saw various news like above on her office computer!

This thing is unavoidable.

Perhaps before, she might have missed news related to Golden Wind's games, since the gaming circle isn't particularly huge and news doesn't blow up much.

Whenever any variety becomes a hit, it absolutely immediately makes headlines across various media platforms!

As a web variety that achieved over 30 million effective national network views within just 12 hours!

And if that's the case...

Hiss—

Thinking of this.

Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but feel her heart drop, right eye twitching madly!

You... aren't... let's not joke around, okay?

Your data is fake, right?

Shen Miaomiao feels somewhat ominous...
