One picture per day
The cover of issue 356 of Gameinformer magazine is Final Fantasy 16, which shows the game's protagonists, Clive and Joshua, as well as the summoned beasts Ifrit and the Immortal Bird. But to share it with you, the main reason is that I think this picture is too handsome.
Also see a hell joke between Kinsen and Zelda, can anyone try it?
Overwatch 2 PVE hero mode
Overwatch 2 producer Jared Neuss confirmed in a recent development interview that the PVE "hero mode" that the game was highlighted at the beginning of the announcement has been canceled, claiming that the mode "has not progressed as we had hoped."
Jared Neuss says they've "created a lot of surprising new things," but it takes "tremendous effort" to put that content together, and there's no end in sight. This means that they will not be able to achieve the PVE gameplay shown at the 2019 launch.
Xiao Mao comments: Too stupid, too 2, the original publicity was overwhelming this special PVE model, now directly say that we can't do it, is it considered propaganda fraud? And what exactly has OW2 developed after so many years of development?
The Legend of Zelda "P Station" search volume skyrocketed
The well-known North American video website P station released a series of data related to "The Legend of Zelda". For example, in the past few days since the release of "Kingdom Tears", the total traffic of the P station has dropped by 2.3%, perhaps because many users are busy playing games.
On May 12, the day of the game's release, the search frequency related to the P station "Zelda" increased by 399%, and continued to skyrocket in the following days, reaching a terrifying 1477% on May 15.
In the segment, searches for "Purah Zelda" grew by a record 42,257 percent, and "The Legend of Zelda Rule 34" increased by 22,067 percent.
Pureya
From the comprehensive data, Pureya, who turned from Loli to Royal Sister, is the favorite Zelda character of P station users. The 2 to 5 places were Princess Zelda, Paya, Link and Ulboza. It is worth mentioning that the big boss Ganondorf and the pig monster Pokblin are also in the top ten.
Xiao Mao Comment: I know that people's XP is free, but...
Steam launched the game demo function
Steam recently launched a 90-minute game trial, which is currently in beta and only supports Dead Space: Remastered, with expansion to other games in the future.
Unlike the demo provided by the game manufacturer, the Steam platform demo will provide 90 minutes of unlimited play, and players will experience the full version of the game.
Xiaomao Comments: Nice function, but it is estimated that it is difficult to promote it on a large scale. The 90-minute trial plus the 2-hour refund mechanism is equivalent to 3 and a half hours of gameplay, and only masterpieces with a long process have the confidence to provide a trial.
The single-player production team of "Immortal Sword" was disbanded on the hot search
The day before yesterday, there were rumors on the Internet that the technical team of Beijing Softstar, the development team of the stand-alone version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", had been disbanded. Since the mainland revenue of the Sword of Fairy IP was handed over to CMGE, Daewoo Information could not develop the new stand-alone work of Sword of Sword.
Neither CMGE nor Yao Zhuangxian, general manager of Softstar Technology, responded to the above revelations, but the "dissolution of the fairy sword stand-alone production team" suddenly rushed to Weibo hot search today, once ranked seventh.
Zhihu users replied, saying that due to the company's promotion of cost reduction and efficiency increase, CMGE suspended some new projects, and the possibility of re-increasing research and development in the future is not excluded.
There are also users who claim to be employees of Shanghai Softstar, who broke the news that Shanghaisoft is still developing a reset version of "Sword of Immortals 4" and using the Unreal Engine 5, but did not mention the situation of Beijing Softstar.
Xiao Mao comments: Although Xian Jian 7 is not a top game in this era, it is also a brave attempt, and it is indeed a pity if it is gone. However, the official has not responded to the revelations, let's take a look for the time being.
Manga recommendation
Recently, I brushed a lot of comic commentary videos of "Prisoner of Food" on Douyin, and was shocked by the wild imagination and spiritual core of fraternity of this work. I finished this comic with the mentality of how many good works I missed back then.
"The Captive of Gourmet" is a full-length manga serialized by Shimabukuro Lightyear from 2008 to 2016. The work is quite pure Jump style of the era, hot-blooded, exaggerated, imaginative, and uninhibited. Oversized corn that requires volcanic molten pulp to cook, apples that taste more delicious the more frightened you are, sweet cola made from the tears of a sphinx... Everything can be used as an ingredient, cooking and hunting in a variety of ways, both explained in a reasonable form in the manga, and hilarious and funny, which has made me marvel countless times at the near-infinite imagination of author Shimabukuro Lightyear.
But my favorite part is that the author always uses eating to convey a theme: love of what is necessary, respect and compassion for everything. The hideousness and steepness of nature are not only terrifying, but also allow people to harvest deliciousness, which is a sublime beauty that can be appreciated. This makes the connotation of the work and the characters play a role in mutual enrichment. Although the style of the work is rough, it has a pure poetry, which I appreciate very much.
