Chapter 210: E3 Exhibition (3)

On December 12, 2015, in Huaxia, it was originally another "crazy robbery" online shopping feast for e-commerce companies in addition to Double 11, but in the eyes of many senior gamers in Huaxia, this event is still not as good as E3 held in Los Angeles, USA.

More than 1,000 game entertainment companies or studios from all over the world participated in this game event, and more than 50 game companies in Huaxia participated in the exhibition to promote their games.

Although the Los Angeles International Convention and Exhibition Center is very large, it can't accommodate so many game companies, so we have to arrange some small, unknown game companies in other places, and the effect is certainly not as good as those in the convention center, but it is better than nothing.

Mythical Group and Tencent, as the two largest game companies in China, were arranged on the second floor by the organizers of E3, and the best location on the first floor is of course for local game companies in the United States. However, I don't know what the organizers of Ludao think, the exhibition areas of the two game companies of Mythology Group and Tencent Games are actually next to each other, which makes the employees of the two companies look at each other with a hint of gunpowder.

The biggest highlights of E3 in 2015 are Ubisoft's Montreal studio's Assassin's Creed 7, Activision Blizzard Call of Duty 12 and the new generation of online games Titan, EA's Battlefield 6 and The Sims 5, Capcom's Monster Hunter 5, Tencent's unannounced mystery online games, and Mythic Group's King of Fighters and Crystal Origin 2. Of course, this does not mean that other game companies do not have high-quality products, it can only be said that these games are the games that have received the most attention from gamers and the media.

A week before E3 even began, countless fans from all over the world came to Los Angeles to wait for this annual gaming event. After the official opening of E3, more than 100,000 people poured into the Los Angeles International Convention and Exhibition Center, not counting the reporters from all the major media in the world.

The exhibition area of large game companies is always the most popular among gamers, not only the latest generation of games that have long been familiar with the development, but also a variety of novel game peripherals, which can greatly satisfy the curiosity of players.

Li Haoyu, Xiao Yuqing and Chen Qingmei are no exception, they entered the Los Angeles International Convention and Exhibition Center after the official launch of E3, and like the previous two ChinaJoy, they wore a pair of big sunglasses to play in the exhibition areas of various game companies, but this year they have a small tail Chen Qingmei.

One of the most conspicuous exhibits on the first floor is undoubtedly Activision Blizzard's exhibition area, as the largest and most well-known game producer and game publisher in the United States and the world, Activision Blizzard has no objection to this position.

Li Haoyu and the three of them have only been in for a while, and the exhibition area of Activision Blizzard has been overwhelmed by many enthusiastic players, at least six or seven thousand gamers are queuing up in the exhibition area of Activision Blizzard to try out Call of Duty 12 and Titan's trial version or participate in other interactive programs, this is still the reason why Activision Blizzard's exhibition area can no longer be crowded, if it can still squeeze people, there is no problem at all with more than 10,000 people.

"When did our Mythical Group have Activision Blizzard's status in the world?" Li Haoyu couldn't help but say with emotion when he saw the overcrowded Activision Blizzard exhibition area.

Although Mythical Group has become the only game giant that can compete with Tencent in Huaxia and has a certain reputation in the world, it is still far from being able to compete with Activision Blizzard, a game giant in the world in terms of strength and heritage. If you want to reach the level of Blizzard, it is not something that can be done overnight, and Blizzard has the status it has in the world today, and it has only been able to do it after more than 20 years of continuous precipitation.

Li Haoyu naturally knows this, and he is just complaining now, just like Liu Bang when he witnessed the grand occasion of Qin Shi Huang's southern tour, and Xiang Yu said "He can take his place".

"Brother Li, the Mythical Group will have this day, and I believe that the time will not be too far away. I don't think that in ten years, the Mythical Group will become the most well-known game company in the world. Chen Qingmei looked at Li Haoyu and said.

Xiao Yuqing snorted lightly and said: "Everyone knows this, Haoyu's mythical group is now a game company with the greatest development potential in the world, which even those foreigners who think highly of themselves admit it." ”

Li Haoyu really thinks that Xiao Yuqing and Chen Qingmei are born wrong, Chen Qingmei is a little better, Xiao Yuqing as long as Chen Qingmei says, whether it is right or wrong, will refute it, as if what Chen Qingmei said is always wrong.

But fortunately, the two women are quite measured, at most they are arguing a few words verbally, and they also know that if they go too far, it will affect Li Haoyu's impression of them.

Li Haoyu took Xiao Yuqing's hand and said, "Yuqing, shall we try Blizzard's new online game Titan?" ”

Since the World of Warcraft began to decline a few years ago, Blizzard has begun to develop this online game called Titan, and it does not attach much importance to the new generation of stand-alone and real-time strategy games, and only Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2 sequels have been launched in the past two years.

It's not surprising that since the release of World of Warcraft, there have been about fifteen million paying players at its peak, plus the agency fees of various countries, I don't know how much money Lu Dao has made for Blizzard. Blizzard saw that the profits of online games were higher than those of stand-alone games, and it was normal for them to turn around and develop online games.

Xiao Yuqing frowned and said, "There are so many people, I don't know when we have to queue up, let's not go, Haoyu?" ”

Li Haoyu smiled: "Okay, let's go to EA's exhibition area again." ”

In the crowded crowd at the Los Angeles Convention Center, I finally squeezed outside EA's exhibition area, although the entire EA exhibition area was more crowded than the Activision Blizzard exhibition area, but it was not much worse, at least three or four thousand gamers were waiting in line to try out the game or interact with the host on EA's side.

In addition to the two heavyweight games of The Sims 5 and Battlefield 5 in this E3, EA also has a very high gold content of games such as FIFA16 and Need for Speed 20, and there are many loyal players.

At this moment, the latest CG promotional video of their game is playing on the booth of Battlefield 6, and the Battlefield series of games is also a first-person shooter game created by EA with a lot of money, and for this reason, the Medal of Honor series of games has been abandoned, intending to fight against Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty series of games. However, now with the popularity of Crystal Source Century, which is owned by Mythology Group, the first-person shooter single-player game in the world has also become a contest between the three games of Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Crystal Source Century.

On the one hand, EA wants to make a fortune by publishing the Crystal Source Century, and on the other hand, it wants to make its own Battlefield series of games popular, which is indeed enough to make EA's senior management entangled. Later, they simply decided to join forces with the rookie game of Crystal Source Century to encircle and suppress the Call of Duty series of games, and once the Call of Duty series of games was defeated, it would be the turn of the two games of Battlefield and Crystal Source Century to fight to the death.

Battlefield 6 is a game that uses the same game engine as Sword of the Clouds, but the engine has undergone many improvements, and the graphics are more tough, making it fit the theme of Battlefield 6.

The CG played is similar to Crystal Source Century 2, but the theme is the battle journey of a combat squad, and the comradeship in it is also very moving. Li Haoyu felt that many players were moved by this CG, and some people were even wiping away tears.

Foreign stand-alone game masterpieces not only have beautiful graphics and pay attention to team cooperation, but also have unique features in character portrayal. In Call of Duty 8: Modern Warfare 3, "Soap" John McTavish died, and Activision Blizzard was scolded by many players because the character of "Soap" was very well portrayed.

This is a large game company like EA, and other smaller game companies only dare to put these CGs when they dare to have the largest crowd, otherwise wouldn't it be useless for few people to watch this CG?

Li Haoyu and the second daughter stayed in front of EA's booth for a while and then went to Ubisoft's exhibition area, as one of the world's most well-known game producers, Ubisoft's exhibition area is of course large enough, two or three thousand players gathered in front of several booths to watch something.

Ubisoft's main exhibits in E3 this time are Assassin's Creed 7 and Splinter Cell 5, and the latest version of Prince of Persia will also appear here, which are also Ubisoft's three most powerful games so far.

Li Haoyu himself can be regarded as a loyal fan of Assassin's Creed, his favorite is the male protagonist Ezio Auditore who appeared in Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations, especially in Assassin's Creed Revelations, Ezio appeared as a middle-aged uncle, Li Haoyu felt particularly masculine, and the game Assassin's Creed Revelations was also played three times.

"Let's not go to the exhibition area of these big game companies, let's go to other small game companies to see if there are any special games." The convention center in Los Angeles is too crowded, although Pan Yi and four other people are not far away to protect him, Li Haoyu is still afraid that it will be bad if there is a little problem, and besides, with such a crowded crowd, he never wants the two women to encounter any groping.

Chen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Li, we will go wherever you say." ”

Xiao Yuqing grabbed Li Haoyu's arm, as if to declare sovereignty, and said: "Haoyu, it's not crowded much above the second floor, let's go and see the games of other game companies in Huaxia, right?" ”
