A few days ago, it was reported on YouTube that Fortnite may soon cooperate with Doom. As a fan of doom for generations, it's natural to wander around Fortnite's foreign community twitter and the like to find some news — even though I haven't been online on this game for some days.
After watching for a while, there is not much valuable news, but I have watched all kinds of funny character linkages -
Although some linkages are very suitable, such as the linkage of Fortnite and Borderlands, which are also more anime-style FPS games, there is no sense of violation, but you have to link a traditional action game to make the famous God of War Kratos dance passionately (funny) - that is too much!
It is true that a good linkage can not only increase the popularity of the game, but also stimulate the enthusiasm of players, so there are some manufacturers who are always keen to give their own cubs an hour of work - regardless of whether it is suitable or inappropriate, the linkage will become! So there was 2Bean of "Jelly Bean" and "Neil: The Mechanical Age";
Monster Hunter's blue jump suit for the Goto Right Guard after "Sengoku BASARA"... and so on, a series of strange combinations that can't help but be funny.
In the 'great cause' of game linkage, there are several games that can be called industry labor models, tirelessly promoting the vigorous development of the linkage cause, and also creating a classic linkage combination...
Fortnite and Naruto
Since the game was launched in 2018, Fortnite has won the title of 'King of Linkage' at the rate of several character linkages a year.
From DC's Batman, Superman, and Joker, to Marvel's Spider-Man and Thanos, from Street Fighter to Tomb Raider, the three-dimensional is not satisfied, and then the two-dimensional paper man - first "Rick and Morty" and then "Fire shadow".
So there was the hug of the old man and Naruto's love——
Sasuke's Happiness:
Joy together:
If the sci-fi worldview of Rick and Morty is relatively adaptable to Fortnite, after all, it's all about guns, then for Naruto, who has always been rubbing balls and throwing darts, it requires him to adapt to the new equipment:
Naruto in Naruto:
Naruto of Fortnite:
Sasuke: Times have changed, naruto!
Monster Hunter and Detective Conan
As a traditional action game, players have to play as hunters in the game, constantly hunting monsters to obtain equipment and money.
As a Japanese national manga, "Detective Conan" has a high popularity in both Japan and the world, and these two works are a good linkage from the fame, and fans also have great expectations for them.
But the question is also obvious, how to link up with elementary school student Conan Edogawa in a monster-ridden game?
CAPCOM didn't know either, so they were very casual, giving Conan clothes to a cat to wear...
But this linkage obviously can not satisfy the fans, the production team of "Monster Hunter" after a version of the silence, in "Monster Hunter XX" and "Detective Conan" on the agenda.
This familiar black shadow... Yes, this is the real protagonist of Detective Conan - Shinichi Kudo (crossed out) Xiao Black!
I have to say that this little black charming eyes, as well as teeth that are whiter than the use of black toothpaste, are very restorative of the original characters, but I don't know what it is for players to wear this skin to fight monsters.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Lysa's Alchemy Workshop
What comes to mind when you think of the Three Kingdoms? Jingo iron horses, battlefields and battles, an era of blood and fire.
The series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been described by players as "a meticulous examination of the history of the Three Kingdoms, and a vivid depiction of the portraits of the Three Kingdoms", and since the release of the first work of the series in 1985, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been recognized for its rigorous production attitude, excellent gameplay, and realistic and restored art style.
And "ten years of alchemy no one asks, a meat leg world knows" Laisha is a two-dimensional style of cute girl, fleshy big meat legs, youthful invincible hot pants and black silk texture stockings, coupled with angelic cute faces, completely and those uncles of the Three Kingdoms are not a painting style existence. Even if such an obvious style does not match, Glory has to complete the linkage of these two works, adding Lysa as a warrior in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14".
It seems that because the players are satisfied with this style of collision, Glory's plan for the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" linkage does not end here. In 2020, Glory once again linked Three Kingdoms 14 with a two-dimensional game like Life and Death: Beach Volleyball Goddess Holiday, and the girls of the Venus Islands will also appear as warriors in the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14.
Final Fantasy XIV with KFC
However, for "Final Fantasy", the most worth mentioning linkage is not with these game masterpieces, but with the linkage story with KFC, the giant of the restaurant industry.
KFC will join forces with FF14 to launch a promotion in July 2019 to give away game items: as long as you purchase a specified package within a limited time, you can get an activation code for a special mount.
It seems like an ordinary linkage, but there's a small problem — the package includes four drinks, two burgers, a duck roll, grilled wings, plain chicken, and golden chicken nuggets, enough to feed four adults, but the mount's activation code is only one.
The unreasonable rules have brought unexpected effects, and the 'Light Warriors' have treated this linkage as a difficult copy and have punched in to participate. Some team up to brush:
Some tough single brushes:
Others even pull the whole family into battle:
For a time, KFC was full of ff14 players who came to brush the book, and it was difficult for ordinary customers to see. This pomp lasted for the entire duration of the event and eventually attracted the attention of various media. Originally, an ordinary linkage activity achieved such a publicity effect, even the official of Final Fantasy did not expect it.
epilogue
The meaning of the game itself is to relax the player's body and mind, no matter what kind of strange linkage, as long as the player feels happy is enough. That's why so many linkages that don't match the background of the game are also reasons why players can enjoy it.
