On May 16, at 9 a.m. US time, the world-renowned E3 Game Show opened successfully. It is said that the number of tickets sold at this game show exceeded that of any previous edition, reaching 100,000 people.

Compared to previous game shows, E3 in 2001 saw many small business game companies being cash-strapped and had no follow-up products. In terms of scale, it is a little smaller than in 2000. The outside media has also been calling this game exhibition the Three Kingdoms in the game. The three countries are Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.

Microsoft wants to take advantage of this E3 show to promote his Xbox frantically. And Nintendo is not to be outdone, setting the release date of NGC for the first 3 days of Xbox. Sony, as the leader of video game consoles, knows that it may not be as good as Microsoft and Nintendo, this year's E3 exhibition in terms of product innovation. Sony, however, has changed the slogan of promotion into "content first".

In fact, Sony has done just that.

The two super popular titles "Final Fantasy Series" and "Metal Gear Solid Series" alone are enough to attract countless players to PS2, not to mention that PS2 is still the only console that can be bought, and there will never be delays and ticket bounces.

For these three major hardware manufacturers, it is naturally not the target of software developers such as Tang Dynasty Network. Liu Sichen and his entourage, after coming to E3, set their sights on the "Final Fantasy Series Series" and "Metal Gear Solid 2".

"Wow......"

When I just entered the E3 exhibition, a few people in a high-profile group let out an exclamation. When it comes to game shows, China has also held one session, but compared to the E3 in the United States, it is a drop in the bucket. From the distribution of each exhibition area, you can understand the scale of E3. For example, the exhibition area also has a hardware game exhibition area and a software game exhibition area. At that time, Chinajoy did not have any hardware manufacturers. It's not that they don't want to come, it's that the mainland doesn't.

"Ah what, in a few years, I believe that the country will catch up with them."

Although Liu Sichen also feels that E3 is large, he is full of confidence in China's game industry. As long as the Chinese people work hard, the game will be there, and the hardware console will also be there. At that time, I believe that the whole world, whether it is a hardware manufacturer or a software manufacturer, will go straight to the China Game Exhibition to promote his game products.

However, this road still has to go for a long time, and what Liu Sichen said in a few years is just to cheer himself up.

"Let's go, the northeast corner is our exhibition area."

Since the Tang Dynasty network only brought one game over, and the countries in the Asian region, except for Japan and South Korea, E3 did not pay much attention. But fortunately, the perspective technology and light and shadow system that came out of the Tang Dynasty Internet last year really shocked the world. Although E3 arranges the Tang Dynasty network in the northeast corner, the exhibition area given is okay, at least it won't look shabby.

"Guys, get started."

Liu Sichen gave an order, and the staff of Tang Dynasty Network began to arrange the exhibition area.

In fact, this time in the competition, Tang Dynasty Network did not bring much equipment, let alone showgirl, but only brought some projectors, computers, posters and the like. It's such a simple arrangement, whether Counter-Strike can detonate the E3 exhibition, for now, is still unknown.

……

Gail is of Chinese descent and has lived in the United States for more than twenty years.

His parents, who raised him since childhood, have always told him that you must remember that you are a Chinese, no matter where you are born now. It's just that Gale has never understood since he was a child, why he was born in the United States, why do he say that he is Chinese? It wasn't until Gale grew up and learned about Chinese culture that he realized that the cultural outlook of Chinese people was very different from that of Westerners. In the process of learning about Chinese culture, he was gradually attracted by China's long history.

The 5,000-year-old ancient country of the East has always been at the top of the world in the past. It's a pity that China doesn't seem to be strong now. At least, the gap with the United States is still relatively large.

Seeing that the annual E3 Game Show will start again, Gail and his classmates and friends are ready to go to the exhibition. Although Gail is not a pure game fan, he can be considered a game lover as well. And a few of his classmates are really game enthusiasts. Many of them are heading for Japan's Final Fantasy, and some are heading for the Resident Evil series.

As soon as they entered the game exhibition area, several students rushed to the Japanese game square. This is because Japan has the richest game industry in the world and offers the most game products. Whether it is the hardware console or the game content, it is deeply loved by players around the world. Sony's PS2, in particular, has made countless game enthusiasts crazy. ,

"Oh also, Final Fantasy 10, I'm finally ready to try it out."

The 10th installment in the Final Fantasy series, which has been heavily hyped up until now. It's just that for a long time, there has been very little information released from Final Fantasy Part 10, most of them are just pictures, and there are even few videos. This made many game enthusiasts depressed, and this time the E3 game show, the Final Fantasy series, finally unveiled his mystery.

Of course, with such a high level of popularity, this Japan-developed, Final Fantasy series, is also the most requested product at this game show. If nothing else, the Game of the Year may be won by the Final Fantasy series.

Gail's classmate "Bernie" saw the final fantasy of the exhibition area, excitedly left the other friends, and broke into the game exhibition area, dancing in a long line, ready to try out.

"This madman."

Gail shook his head and scolded Bernie, he didn't look at how long the queue was, according to the current situation, Bernie would have to wait in line for at least 3 hours before it was his turn to try out.

Gail, who is just a game lover, obviously does not want to suffer with "Bernie". So, he looked elsewhere.

"Huh."

At this time, in a place in the northeast corner, Gail found a special exhibition area. The title of this exhibition area is in both Chinese and English. Fortunately, Gail, who has been learning Chinese since childhood, can understand it.

"Counter-Strike."

Gail shook his head, as if he hadn't heard. However, that Tang Dynasty network seems to have been seen in the newspaper. For non-professionals, Gail naturally doesn't know what amazing deeds the Tang Dynasty network has. But no matter what, as a Chinese-American, he is still very interested in Chinese exhibitors. So, he walked to the counter-strike exhibition area of the Tang Dynasty network.

"Hi, everyone, my Chinese name is Yang Ming, but I prefer you to call me Gail."

Gail uses Chinese, which is not very standard, but it is okay compared to the average Chinese teacher.

"Hello Gail, welcome to Tang Dynasty Network."

"Can I learn more about your games?"

After Gale said hello, he set his eyes on the counter-terrorism elite pushed out by the Tang Dynasty network.

Watching it from the big screen, Gail's initial feeling is that this game is about the same as Half-Life. However, after a closer look, Gail found that this game is very different from Half-Life.

Because he now sees four players, in front of the computer, doing constant operations.

"PvP."

The most exciting factor in esports games is player versus player battles. No matter how well the single-player game is done, if there is no player-to-player competition, then the game may not become a mainstream game product in the world.

Now on the big screen displayed by the Tang Dynasty network, what is going on at this time is a game competition between the Desert 2 maps.

With a sniper flick, the sound of the metal slicing was as if he was on the battlefield. Then, with a "bang", a bullet slashed through the sky, and one of the players on the opposite side fell.

"My God."

The scene was brief, but it thrilled Gail.

The sniper held a heavy sniper in both hands, his body crouched slightly, and the single scope opened instantly, followed by a shot. With fast and bloody movements, Gail seems to feel that these players in front of him are descending as if American special forces are coming.
