Whether you are a manager fan, a second-level game fan, or just a fun person, you should have noticed the very creative big job that suddenly popped up last Sunday: Fujiko's CDD department has created a two-dimensional game with a suit of people and simulated development.

For those who don't know about this game, don't worry. Today we will mainly talk about "Hyperloop". Its main selling point is that the current deadly virtual anchors play the role of game characters - if you do this, everyone will not be sleepy.

In the past two years, there have been constant comments that the traffic of V circles has reached a bottleneck and the circle has shrunk. On the one hand, the current economic downturn is visibly bad, so it's ok for everyone to surf the Internet for free and have fun, but when it comes time to consume, the guys may just disperse.

On the other hand, with more and more people entering the market, even if everyone can pay attention to them, it is difficult for them to consume all of them - you have to pick the ones you like, right? Even A-SOUL, which was the only one in the business world a few years ago, has shrunk significantly after several rounds of layoffs and bankruptcies.

In this situation, "Hyperloop" emerged, which brought together most of the popular virtual anchors in the game.

This one is even more heavyweight

Of course, in line with the basic principle of "the V circle is not big, but creating myths", if you want to attract traffic, you naturally cannot pay too much attention to your appearance. The trailer that has just been released has almost integrated all the old jokes of today.

The four people who appeared in the PV, Tiandou, Nanami Nanami, Shizuku Lulu and Shanbao, can be regarded as the epitome of the current V circle. For example, the corporate virtual idol "Tiandou sprouted" who just completed the achievement of 10,000 ships and "Sanshisui" pretended to be a child, and the "box weapon immune" Nanami Nanami who took the lead in attracting traffic in multiple circles such as the zoo and APEX...

In addition to the memes created by several virtual anchors themselves, Tiandou also demonstrated a wave of "James' group", and OTTO's most classic "I think I am (a professional player)" besides the Silver Bible was also perfectly reproduced.

As for the plate of strawberries that was unexpectedly served here, although it was not explicitly stated, it was unanimously recognized by everyone as the "least ridiculous" act of fusion.

The recruitment requirement of "minimum number of registered teams is 4 people" in the notice board, coupled with the appearance of A-SOUL, which has become a 3-member group at the end, undoubtedly made everyone see more fun and even possibilities - could it be?

Of course, when a number of top V-circle anchors appear and integrate the plot, don’t forget that this PV is ultimately from a game, and how to play it specifically is the core.

According to the information revealed so far, the overall game mode is a little different from the so-called "card drawing" game that everyone initially joked about. It chooses the path of simulation development and battle performance.

In other words, it should be a game mode similar to the Mugen version of King of the Holy Beasts + Uma Musume, and the game experience is closer to "Teamfight Tactics"andGolden SpatulaThe main profit point is the costumes of different characters and the corresponding mechanism that will be updated every season. Several anchors also clearly revealed during the live broadcast that players will play roles such as team leaders and agents.

To describe it from a more popular perspective, the electronic cricket fighting that everyone is very keen on can finally be realized in the game.

In fact, if you search on Bilibili now, you can see a lot of related content, such as this "commentary video" that puts eight virtual anchors on the ring to start a battle royale.

It can be predicted that the starting point of "Hyperloop" is higher than that of most second-tier games. Because compared with those traditional second-tier games that cultivate fans through plots after the characters are launched, and then create a large number of "nimble dogs in the mountains", each character appearing in "Hyperloop" already has a large audience group - no matter whether you are a hater or a true fan, as long as there is traffic, it's fine.

“All the wise men have come”

But at the same time, many people have raised their own questions. According to the game progress revealed so far, even in the best case scenario, it will be launched at the end of next year, and if it goes wrong, it may be delayed to 2025. Such a production cycle is undoubtedly "too long" for many virtual anchors. What if an anchor "fails" halfway through?

The production team also gave an answer to this: If the host’s personality collapses and loses some viewers just because of certain rhythms, then players can choose not to practice this character according to their preferences.

If the anchor himself crosses the red line and the game must be removed from the shelves due to illegal reasons, then the players will be provided with certain compensation.

Even those anchors who have already graduated at this stage have the opportunity to be implanted into "Virtual Ring" if their personality fits and they are willing.

Then everyone made corresponding suggestions: those who graduated normally would be put into the "Tomb-Sweeping Day Card Pool", and those who were forced to graduate due to their dishonor in their later years would be put into the "Zhongyuan Festival Card Pool".

Just like what was mentioned before, "V circle is not big, create myths" combined with the gameplay framework of the second game, there is too much fun that everyone can imagine to be reproduced in "Hyperloop" - even the game itself does not need to be lively, for some characters, just the appearance of them in the game is already the biggest "liveliness".

If I really want to give you an example, then don't worry about whether this game is abstract or not, or whether the quality is bad or not. Just say that as a person who knows a little bit about the V circle and second-hand games, do you have the urge to download the game to check it out? No? What about the new character "Nine-point Beauty Baby" Jiale launched in "Virtual Ring"?

At least I definitely can't help but experience the intensity...
