Chapter 1149: The Order of the Phoenix at E3 (Part I)
Guan Tao is a game reporter at Big Soft.
Well, there might be some moisture to say that.
He is actually part-time, as a student in the lighthouse country, he has some contact with some game magazines in a large eastern country.
And he is now at the E3 game exhibition, in order to send the information of the exhibition to China in the first time.
In recent years, it is very difficult for domestic game magazines to take people on a serious business trip to the Lighthouse Country to participate in the E3 Game Show.
The media of video games is not the same as the general media, this year is not ten years later, and the people of a large eastern country do not have self-confidence, not only internally, but also externally.
There are still many people like Guan Tao.
Although everyone is a part-time reporter, there is no doubt that everyone, including Guan Tao, is actually a game enthusiast.
Because he is a senior game enthusiast, Fang Tao learned about some of the situation of the exhibition before he started, such as the news that there will be a new work of metal gear this year, and he still knows something.
"Well, when do you think we're going to make these good games?"
There were two other people standing next to Guan Tao, and the person who spoke was Li Hao, his friend.
"Come on, you don't know the urine sex in China, what kind of good game can you make!" Hearing Li Hao's words, the person next to him looked disgusted, this person's name is Zhang Zhengxing.
"We actually have good games in China, fairy sword, Xuanyuan sword or something......" Li Hao retorted.
"Tsk," Zhang Zhengsheng showed a disgusted expression, "I never play that kind of garbage game! The real game is a game with Baldur's Gate and Radiation! What kind of stuff do those garbage in China do! A game made with that kind of feudal ideology is full of a feudal flavor, how can there be any fun in Europe and the United States that talk about the fantasy world and the future world?"
Zhang Zhengxing made Guan Tao frown a little.
But Guan Tao didn't say anything.
Because Zhang Zhengxing has always had this attitude.
He still remembers when he came here with the other party from a large eastern country.
As soon as a few people arrived in the downtown area of San Francisco, Zhang Zhengxing took a deep breath of car exhaust and shouted: "This sweet air, this is the most beautiful country!"
Guan Tao doesn't like this attitude very much, but most people who study abroad actually have this opinion, and even, if you don't say a few words or something, it is a little difficult to integrate into the circle.
But Guan Tao didn't like this trick.
He feels that the lighthouse country is advanced, but it is not his own country.
Guan Tao likes games, but he also wants to make domestic games rise as well.
This is also one reason why he has close contact with these game magazines in China.
Seeing that the atmosphere between Li Hao and Zhang Zhengxing was getting more and more stiff, Guan Tao here had no choice but to start changing the topic.
"A is said to be going to enlarge the move this time. ”
"Hey, yes, yes, the manufacturer of the mud bombardment is amazing, and that dark soul is simply super interesting! You see, this kind of fantasy story made with the history and concepts of Westerners is really quite profound and exciting!" Zhang Zhengxing said again.
"The owner of Company A is said to be of Chinese descent. Li Hao interjected coldly.
"Chinese are Chinese, but you see, if people are in our country, can they make this kind of game?" Zhang Zhengsheng looked contemptuous, "It's like that fairy sword Xuanyuan Sword, some people in our country say every day, if you look at E3, these garbage games, no one will mention them!"
Because Li Hao had mentioned the relationship between the two games of Fairy Sword and Xuanyuan Sword before, Zhang Zhengxing deliberately mentioned these two games at this time.
"Alas, it's time to enter, let's go in together!"
Guan Tao has a headache, but fortunately, the Order of the Phoenix can already enter at this time, at least wait for the time of the game show, everyone can be quiet.
The Order of the Phoenix, which is worthy of inheriting Sega's legacy, was filled with people when they entered the venue.
It was full, there was not a single vacant seat, and everyone looked at the stage.
Guan Tao was a little emotional.
The Order of the Phoenix is having the feeling of phoenix nirvana, reborn from the ashes.
Sega has burned out, and the Phoenix Society has reappeared, and it only took them a few months to stabilize the current market, and they seem to be quite qualified with their backs to Company A.
Regarding the Order of the Phoenix, it is actually talked about in domestic circles.
The reason is simple.
Because whether it is Sony or Nintendo, their own work is to do hardware, they do game console platforms, and developing games is a side business.
But the A Society and the Order of the Phoenix are the other way around.
Other manufacturers are game development teams backed by game consoles, while here game consoles are backed by game development companies.
It's very subtle.
But people A club,That's really powerful.,They don't have many games.,But all of them are high-quality.,Although some games are niche.,But the reputation is excellent.。
Guan Tao remembers that he had a good friend on QICQ, and this benevolent brother was studying abroad in Mud Bang, and he admired a game called "Brave New World".
This game Guan Tao remembers that it is an online game of text adventure, although a graphical interface is added, but the essence is still a word game.
But it's this word game, which is so popular on the mud bomb Internet.
In the beginning, the game only had a few thousand people joining, but now, the number of players in the game has reached hundreds of thousands, and there are many active players in the game every day, and at its peak, the number of people online at the same time can even reach 100,000.
- You know, mud bomb players don't like online games very much, but such a text online game has now become the leader of mud bombardment online games!
Some people say that the current leader of online games on the Internet is a heroic trajectory, which Guan Tao also admits.
But the second-ranked game, I'm afraid no one expected, would be such a word game.
Not only that, but the other party also released three online games in a large eastern country, Bubble Hall, Magic Baby, and Stone Age, these three games, no matter which one they are, are all popular and good games.
There are also domestic manufacturers who have roughly calculated the income of A company in online games, and they were surprised to find that A company simply relies on these online games, and it really has the power to compete with traditional home machine manufacturers.
Moreover, one of the main functions of DC-P is broadband Internet access, which can make people have the best network experience.
Even single-player games can be played online on DC-P.
For example, the game called "Dark Souls", this game is completely different from online and single-player, and even the look and feel of the game is completely different!
Company A may not be the best home machine manufacturer, but they must be a manufacturer that plays the Internet with thieves.
"Eh, it's on!"
A burst of chanting of "I am a cheap bone" began, and Zhang Zhengxing, who was next to him, heard this line, and his whole body was really comfortable.
"...... this?"
CG?
The picture that appears at the beginning is a duel.
It's very powerful, and it's a fight with the feeling of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Roots".
On the hill of swords, red by dusk, a teenager is facing off against a blonde man.
The earth is parched, and the sky is orange.
The whole world is filled with an indescribable slaughter and blood.
Very good CG, the feeling that this picture leads, that atmosphere, and the BGM that makes people almost want to burn, these are all excellent.
There's nothing about it.
But......
Guan Tao frowned.
As a CG, this picture is actually passable.
But how to say it.
It's too ordinary.
The scene is shocking, but the performance itself did not exceed Guan Tao's psychological expectations.
The picture is too normal.
No surprises.
"Huh?!!!"
However, at this time, Guan Tao noticed that buttons appeared on the screen.
“QTE!”
Another viewer couldn't help but exclaim.
“QTE?!!!”
Guan Tao's own eyes widened.
QTE!
There's actually a QTE in this!
QTE is nothing, but there is only one possibility for QTE to appear in this picture scene.
- This is a picture of real-time calculus.
It was possible to achieve real-time calculation of CG screens?!
What the hell is this game?!
“FATE!”
"It's FATE!"
Sitting in front of them was a mud bombardment student, and the other party's eyes widened instantly after seeing this picture.
FATE?
That's right, that's FATE!
The work of the "General" known as the "Mithril Force".
The Mithril Force is a coalition of game manufacturers led by the Mithril Platform.
Guan Tao knew that the Mithril forces were still very powerful in the mud bombardment, and even Sony and Nintendo did not dare to challenge them head-on.
Although Guan Tao understood a little wrongly, he probably still knew about the Mithril power.
It's just that the Mithril forces are said to have developed games that are not mass-oriented, and their games are all niche.
But Guan Tao likes the games of the Mithril forces.
For example, a student of the same grade or something...... Ahem......
And this game called FATE, which is said to be the best-selling game in the Mithril force, directly rushed to the peak of 200,000 unit sales.
Guan Tao actually likes the game of the Mithril force, but helplessly, although Guan Tao likes other people's games, the audience is indeed small.
Guan Tao also used to play the galgame version of "Sin Crown" with others, but everyone ended up playing the RPG version.
It's embarrassing.
Obviously, the galgame version of the plot is the best, but because of the carrier, everyone doesn't like this type of thing very much.
It's a sad story.
After this episode, the picture began to change.
"Flying Sword?!" this time it was Li Hao's turn to exclaim.
This time, it's not the previous "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect", what appears in the picture is a young man who is stepping on a flying sword, and next to him is a sword girl who is also fluttering in white, and the two of them ride the sword like this, and then go towards a fairy island.
This scene, which is full of oriental magic painting style, made everyone present stunned all of a sudden.
This is...... What game?
"Fairy Sword!"
Li Hao's eyes lit up.
"It must be the legendary fairy sword legend!
He was excited.
“......”
At this time, Zhang Zhengxing looked at the picture in front of him, and he seemed a little incredulous.
"Impossible! E3 is such a powerful exhibition, how can there be a game with the theme of a big oriental country online?! This must be a black-box operation, and it must be stuffed with money!" Zhang Zhengxing roared a little angrily.
Guan Tao ignored him, but looked at the picture in front of him.
Having said that, Zhang Zhengsheng thinks that the appearance of this game at the E3 exhibition is stuffed with money, and the exhibition that was stuffed with money is not a problem with what Zhang Zhengsheng said about "Western folk customs are simple, fair and honest" or something?
Alas, forget it, didn't I already know that these people were a little schizophrenic, what do you want to do with these things, and continue to watch the game.
The Order of the Phoenix seems to be really holding back its big move, and their promotional video at the opening of the exhibition has already attracted everyone's attention.
And after that, the official introduction of the game really began.
And the first game they introduced was Sword and Fairy Gaiden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honour to be here. I'm sure you'll be very interested in this game because it's completely different from what we've seen before......"
Sword and Fairy Gaiden is such a game,The most excited thing is Guan Tao, these students from a large eastern country,At the beginning,The audience in Europe and the United States,Actually, they are not particularly interested,Because although the picture is good,But they don't know much about a lot of game content。
That is, until the actual gameplay screen of the game starts to appear.
Face pinching system!
Character customization!
An open world with a high degree of freedom!
One by one, the news broke out, and the audience in Europe and the United States was also surprised.
"This is a different game, this role-playing RPG game, allowing players to freely explore in the game......" The host explained at this time, while giving everyone a walkthrough, "You can do whatever you want in the game, exploration, forging, mining, killing monsters, ......"
The freedom of this game is like a 3D upgrade of those Guilty Crown RPGs that have played mods.
"And most importantly, this game - just a mod. ”
The host snapped his fingers.
And at this time, the picture on the computer changed.
The original tavern was turned into a castle, and the maiden dressed in fairy clothes changed into the tight tunic skirt of the nobles.
“MOD!”
This thing is the most cool thing for European and American audiences, and when I heard that this system supports mods, everyone here cheered.
"Whew, that's great. Zhang Zhengxing also breathed a sigh of relief, "This kind of medieval sweetness is almost coming out of the picture, this picture is much better than the previous ugly style of a certain oriental country!"
After seeing the medieval texture of the mod, Zhang Zhengxing here is obviously relieved.
And Guan Tao here is thinking about whether he wants to break off relations with Zhang Zhengxing in the future......
......
Today's two-in-one meow, meow meow~
