323 Tokyo Game Show
Tokyo Game Show, abbreviated as TGS in English. In this world, it is the world's three largest video game exhibitions, along with Los Angeles e3 and China-joy in SH City.
Qin Han is still relatively familiar with E3 and TGS, two video game exhibitions that were famous in their previous lives. Due to the changes in the world line, the game industry in this parallel world of China has also developed very well, especially in terms of genuine protection and originality.
The reason why Terracotta Warriors Entertainment's "Oriental Fantasy Village Story" has achieved such high sales is also due to its excellent performance in the Chinese market.
Moreover, the China-joy of this world is not the so-called game exhibition that only has the young lady's European pie and long legs to see in addition to a bunch of online game mobile games that cheat money.
This year's TGS was held on the last four days of September.
As a game company that is still well-known and has a best-selling work, Terracotta Entertainment has long been preparing for this exhibition.
The content of the exhibition includes the second DLC of "Oriental Gensokyo Story", "Persona".
This DLC will be a comprehensive enhancement of the game's content. Not only are there four new characters to tackle, five new areas to explore, and twelve new monsters, including five powerful bosses. In addition, a new alchemy synthesis system has been added.
Players can use this system to create new items, new equipment, and new crops.
In addition, there is a new farm building system. Players can plan and design the farm according to their own ideas to build their ideal home.
There are so many new contents in this DLC that it may no longer be called DLC, to be precise, it should be called "expansion" or "power enhancement".
In addition to the upcoming "Oriental Gensokyo Story-Persona", which needs to be promoted on TGS, Qin Han certainly did not leave "Terraria" behind.
At this year's Tokyo Game Show, this free-form construction and adventure sandbox game with an epoch-making concept in this parallel world will be officially unveiled.
When Terraria is released in the future, the PC version on Steam, and the PS3 version for Sony will be the first to appear.
This is also because Terracotta Entertainment has a good cooperative relationship with Sony.
When porting the console of "Oriental Gensokyo Story" before, Sony provided a lot of support, allowing Terracotta Entertainment to accumulate a lot of technology and experience.
Qin and Han naturally have to repay the favor.
Moreover, the PS3 version has another benefit, that is, Terracotta Entertainment, and you can also rub the Tokyo Game Show, Sony's pre-show press conference.
As one of the giants in the industry and with local advantages, Sony's pre-show press conference is naturally the focus of media attention and has a high degree of exposure.
At this year's Tokyo Game Show, Sony will reveal a number of first-party and third-party popular games at its pre-show press conference. They probably want to rely on these games to drive another wave of console sales, and at the end of the life cycle of this generation of consoles, they can surpass their old rival Microsoft.
"Terraria", of course, will also be unveiled at Sony's pre-show press conference.
However, Qin Han still hopes that "Terraria" can gain higher exposure. Although this game has a major innovation in gameplay, this kind of sentimental 2D pixel style graphics is not attractive enough for shallow players who watch the excitement.
Trailer giants like Blizzard and Ubisoft have the strength to make fans scream crazy by putting a CG out. Compared with them, the attraction of terracotta entertainment at first glance is too far behind.
Therefore, Qin Han hopes to be able to strive for as much time as possible at Sony's pre-show press conference to show the content and gameplay of the game.
However, Sony can't just let him talk about it and allocate a lot of limited time to a game. If Qin Han wants to win this opportunity, he has to come up with a demo that can convince Sony with a high degree of completion.
Today, several basic content of "Terraria" world generation, terraforming, and item creation have been basically completed.
In terms of the combat system, it is also quite complete.
Of course, to attract the attention of the audience and the media at the exhibition, it is absolutely not enough to just chop skeletons and slimes. Qin Han also needs a wonderful and exciting boss battle.
"In the next week, everyone will work hard to make a demo as soon as possible for the Tokyo Game Show. The overtime pay is doubled, and I have another reward for completing the task. ”
There will be brave men under the great reward. Now that the president has spoken, the members can only work with their livers.
And just like that, four days later, a full game demo was made. After two more days of testing, it was finally turned into a finished product that had no bugs and could run smoothly.
Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing if there were frequent bugs when the game was being demonstrated on stage.
And after the employees of Terracotta Entertainment worked overtime to finally get the demo of "Terraria" out, it was less than a week before the opening of the Tokyo Game Show.
…………
Morita arrives at the Terracotta Entertainment Club, not far from the Sony Building.
Today, his purpose is to be invited by Qin Han to watch the demo of "Terraria".
Previously, Qin Han had asked that at the Sony pre-show press conference at the Tokyo Game Show, he would give Terracotta Warriors Entertainment 40 minutes to make a demo of "Terraria".
As president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Asia and one of Sony's directors, Morita immediately turned down the request.
Are you kidding!
Sony's pre-show press conference, a total of 90 minutes, actually have to spend 40 minutes for a game? What about the other games at the launch?
Of course, this matter is not without room for flexibility.
For example, modifying the original plan and extending the pre-show press conference can be solved.
But to do that, the new game Terraria has to show enough value.
Morita is the nephew of the late Sony founder and the "saint of management" Akio Morita.
Although the Dongying people, who have the idea of secondary school buried deep in their bones, always like to call celebrities "the god of xx" and "the saint of xx" at every turn, Akio Morita is indeed a well-known entrepreneur.
With such an uncle with countless halos and reputations, Morita Hou is very pressured and wants to make some achievements.
This Tokyo Game Show is the last large-scale game show in the era of Sony's PS3 console. Next year, the three giants of game consoles will launch new consoles. Morita hopes to take this opportunity to let the PS3 surpass the Xbox 360 and continue to maintain the position of console supremacy.
And to achieve this goal, the support of a good game is essential.
Therefore, after listening to Qin Han's request, Sheng Tian Hou first refused, and then promised to take a look at the quality of the game before making a decision.
