Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Big Move (1)
After the first day of news battles, the game show entered the real white-knives battle.
The media are tricky and difficult to serve, but the media also know how to create a harmonious atmosphere. Even if there is a difference in concept, for the sake of advertising, for the market, for real money, everyone still has to follow some kind of game rules.
Therefore, for manufacturers, the media is actually the easiest to balance. In recent years, there are too few conscientious media, and as long as the media is willing to weigh the pros and cons, there is nothing that cannot be conquered.
Give money to say good things, give money and don't say bad things, give money to sing praises and virtues, and give money to delete posts...... People in the rivers and lakes are all trying to make a good word, who can't understand whom, isn't it?
It's the players who really have a hard time balancing.
The players of the Celestial Empire are always pitiful, lamentable, and respectable.
These people endure all kinds of life pressures, but they are still willing to choose the world of believing in games, regard games as an important form of entertainment, and contribute money and efforts without regrets. This is no longer a condition that can be explained and described by "loving".
Such players are the cutest group of people in the world, and they are also the most difficult people to deal with in the world.
If they don't go too far, they will choose to be patient and learn to adapt. For example, there are now all kinds of strange item charging systems, such as fixed game time limits, such as a large number of changes in the values of various proxy games after coming to the Celestial Empire, and the upgrade speed is several times slower than the original.
But as soon as something goes beyond the limits of their patience, these people will erupt.
Most of the online game enthusiasts are veteran netizens, and there are various ways to express their anger. The method of deleting posts on websites and banning forums has no effect on them, and they often use various clever ways to vent, and even set up post bars to convene people to denounce together, completely ruining the reputation of a game or a manufacturer.
Even at a large-scale game show like the Interactive Entertainment Achievement Show, if a manufacturer behaves badly, it will be exposed in large numbers. The public relations department is not omnipotent, it cannot do everything to erase all traces, and the power of the water army is often limited. Therefore, manufacturers are actually not much afraid of the media, and it is really more of a spontaneous behavior of players.
After the scolding reaches the worst, the media often has to follow suit, because the media's ultimate service objects also include users, and no one wants to really stink.
On the first day of the official opening day, everyone was in good spirits and waiting for the players to enter.
The queue at the ticket office at the entrance of the convention center is spectacular, and although the ticket price is slightly higher, there are still a large number of people who bring cash to buy the package directly.
For players, this is more than just a game show, it's more like an annual carnival.
THE COSPLAY TEAM AND SOME STAFF MEMBERS INVITED BY THE GAME MANUFACTURER ENTERED THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR WITH A CERTIFICATE, WHICH WAS A SMALL PRIVILEGE THAT WAS QUITE EXCITING, AND THE REGULAR QUEUE LOOKED A LITTLE HOT.
The weather in the magic capital in July was hot enough, and many coolly dressed COSERS walked by, which also attracted a lot of attention.
Officially opened at 9 o'clock in the morning, the queue finally began to be digested, and the venue began to gradually become lively.
The sound of music has long begun to fly around, and they are all game manufacturers that are not bad for money, and the equipment is no worse than anyone else's, it is purely a noise war. In this case, event hosts and Show.girls invited by various companies have made appearances. Some are preparing for the event, while others are posing and waiting to be surrounded by cameras.
There must also be a little competition between girls, and the beauties around the booth are looking at each other with critical eyes, who has not good enough makeup, who can't hold up in clothes, and who has a small belly...... Each other was vicious in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces were almost the same.
Players enter in batches and start to pounce on the vendors they are interested in. Receive peripheral gifts, watch publicity, and other activities, and look for a good COSER group photo, everyone has their own order of activities.
Zhang Chao also carried a camera in his pocket, stood in front of the lightly touched booth, looked at a group of beauties that should belong to Su Yifan's company, and felt that the scene was a bit dreamy.
Before this, Zhang Chao also wanted to visit the game exhibition as one of his life wishes before going to college. But I never imagined that as one of the exhibitors, I would be able to stand on the platform and enjoy the game show with the ID of the staff as I am now.
On the opposite booth, the staff of Blue Fantasy Technology touched at least seven or eight times lightly, and more than twenty people were busy. Coupled with the Show.girl standing in a row on both sides, the scene is indeed in place, at least it looks much more gorgeous than touching this side lightly.
The young man who had an argument with Zhang Chao yesterday also stood in the team with a work card, holding his shoulders and squinting at Zhang Chao, his expression still disdainful. After all, many players come to the game show for the well-known games of large companies, and the number of players who flock to the Blue Fantasy Technology booth is large. In contrast, the light touch of only playing a promotional video on the big screen is much more pitiful, although there are beautiful women guarding different styles of mobile phones waiting for the tester, after all, the sound and light effects and booth decoration do not have the feeling that "money is not a problem" of a large company.
It is true that spending money can also gain the favor of many players, and no one will be disgusted with hot gifts, right? Blue Fantasy Technology's gift today includes a series of sets such as posters, keychains, paper bags and handmade fans, as well as two CD-ROMs of the company's new game client, which contain six new game trailers. The company's flagship game, Empire of Destiny, is a Western fantasy online role-playing game with beautiful girls wearing blonde wigs and posing with players in front of the booth.
Zhang Chao saw the demo screen of "Empire of Destiny" appear on the huge LCD screen that was almost 120 inches opposite, and snorted with his nostrils: "Garbage game, there is nothing but the picture." ”
If it's a woman, it's a good thing to be scolded for having nothing but beauty, and it's a bit embarrassing if the game is sprayed with nothing on the screen. After all, today's online games, no matter how cool the picture is, is still limited, this "Empire of Destiny" does not talk about the feel system and playability, and the game setting itself is completely stained. The game copy is like copying different stalks from seven or eight Japanese-style Western fantasy games and putting them together, which makes people unable to understand it when they look horizontally and vertically.
Because the setting is rather chaotic, the game's classes and races are also quite unbalanced. In line with the principle that the original is plagiarism, the game inherits some of Blizzard's characteristics, and the strength of the French characters far exceeds that of the warrior system, resulting in a strange scene where everyone in the game is a legal character. It's just such a game, the title screen and the logo are the silhouettes of a epee knight, which makes players always feel ironic after entering the game.
It's just such a game, and the sense of blow is also very poor, and the system burns money. Just because I bought the famous foreign engine Unreal Engine 3, the normal map effect is a bit amazing compared to other online games, plus the game is well publicized and the server is stable, which still attracts many players to defect.
Under normal circumstances, the test period of domestic online games is always as long as several years, and even until the game is closed, it is still called "public beta". "Empire of Destiny" has been in "open beta" for half a year, and now the event is enough to attract a large number of players. It didn't take long for a long line to form in front of the Blue Fantasy Technology booth, most of whom came to receive souvenirs.
The young man who was holding his shoulders and was not working still looked at Zhang Chao with disdain, and the super popularity of his booth could set off the bleakness of the company opposite. Although the game is famous, it is just a mobile game, and it can't compete with the 3D masterpieces on its side.
Zhang Chao has been playing games for so many years, and his vision is still good, and at a glance from afar, he saw the name on the youth work card, called Zhong Yanbo, who seems to be at least a role like a small manager.
Zhong Yanbo was still sneering at Zhang Chao, which means that you are just so capable, look at today's players who have the heart to watch your promotional video.
You must know that the arrangements of Blue Fantasy Technology are full of these days, giving out gifts in the morning, stage performances in the afternoon, lottery activities and producers meeting with players tomorrow, and a round of new game number activities the day after tomorrow. This amount of activity alone can leave several competitors far behind, not to mention a small mobile game company opposite.
In fact, Zhong Yanbo is not only angry with Zhang Chao today, he still minds the incident that his project was snatched away some time ago. According to the company's estimates, if you can really get that project, you will have to be promoted to at least two or three levels in the company, and an independent office will definitely be indispensable.
After Zhang Chao and Zhong Yanbo played a boring game of staring at him for a while, he finally remembered Su Yifan's repeated admonition not to fight for his will, and turned back to the back of the booth.
At this time, the venue is still digesting the continuous influx of people, and in terms of the number of attendees, this game exhibition may break through a record high. Even the light touch booth, which no one paid attention to, began to have a few visitors in front of the booth, and some even recognized that this was the company that released the moving promotional film "Dedicated to Passerby A" yesterday.
Even so, compared to the surging crowd of Blue Fantasy Technology opposite, the booth with light touches still seems too thin after all, both in terms of the number of players attracted and the content of the booth......
Zhang Chao looked down at his phone, found that the time was almost up, took out his digital camera and took a picture of the outside of the booth, turned around to click a software switch on his laptop.
Zhong Yanbo on the other side sneered: "What are you doing? Put on a promo video a day? ”
Zhong Yanbo had already told his colleagues about the previous grievances and hatreds yesterday, which caused the people of Blue Fantasy Technology to have the same hatred for Zhang Chao's side, and they all echoed: "It seems that they have such a little ability." ”
Over there, after Zhang Chao lowered his head and pressed the mouse twice, he raised his head a little proudly and looked at Zhong Yanbo, without worrying at all.
Suddenly, the lights inside the booth dimmed, and a pillar of light stood upright around the central clearing.
In this pillar of light, a huge, three-dimensional animated rendering girl figure appeared!
