Every year in the third or fourth week of May, the City of Angels of the North American Federation often attracts a large number of journalists armed with long guns and short guns, professional gamers with laptops and peripherals, and of course, employees of game companies who are careful to drag shockproof trolley cases.

The world's largest game exhibition, E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo), is held here. Although the original date a week ago was postponed due to the fighting on the southeast coast of the East Asian mainland island, the bustling crowd in the exhibition apparently did not take the 72-hour "peacekeeping operation" seriously at all: compared to the subjects in front of them, the freshly baked codes, layers, and data were more attractive.

In this year when VR technology and somatosensory reading technology have developed from initial application to maturity, countless game works have been continuously innovated, and they have rolled up their sleeves and rushed into this red sea with limited players, limited funds and time.

Those who lag behind can only be eliminated.

For example, the industry's famous cancer DMM's top girl "Fleet collection" and the derivative mobile game "Fleet Collection Change" have been reluctant to integrate with the existing mobile client model, and have been insisting on the traditional web game mode of Yamatai that loads web pages.

As a comparison, the booth of the magic capital can still have a place in E3. After discarding the boring restrictions such as "mobile games must be dubbed in Yama Taiwanese to attract abandoned houses", the reborn Ship R has implemented new features such as Wanguo brand dubbing, successfully opening the door to international operations......

Of course, the encounter between the two game production teams, which are not indebted, is only a part of the overall ecosystem of the entire game industry. And this generality is a principle that everyone can see - if you can't work on the subject matter or innovation, or if you have enough cold rice to sell your feelings in a 24-hour 365-day cycle like SE, then your only way out is to go out of business.

This principle is also unavoidable for big manufacturers such as EA, UBUGSOFT, Activision Blood, Ren Hell, and Big Hard. After all, those "limited platforms" and "wrong schedules" are just reasons for the project team director to prevaricate the board, and the real reason is that he has to blame himself for not doing a good job in the game, not meeting the taste of the players, and winning their hearts - and wallets.

"So we're trying to innovate and make players feel like they're playing a new 'COD' franchise instead of 'Modern Warfare 4', or Black Ops 5, or Ghost 2. Please don't compare any of the existing COD games to the new titles that we're going to reveal on a large scale today. ”

At Activision Storm's booth, Activision Blizzard's CEO emphasized the innovation of the new Call of Duty, while the images displayed on the big screen behind it were dazzling.

The player controls a character hiding behind the ruins of a city and receiving a rifle magazine thrown by a teammate. The subtitle then prompts a radio countdown, and the protagonist unhurriedly taps the clip with the magazine, inserts the rifle magazine into the barrel, and then calmly dials the safety.

“GO！” As the sound burst out to resound in the venue, the audience wearing VR equipment under the booth also exclaimed. The bustling city in front of him is full of Chinese signs, and in front of the protagonist are magicians glowing with various magical lights, rampaging fearless medieval warriors, wyverns hovering in the sky, and monsters on the ground......

The M4 carbine in the protagonist's hand erupts into a roar of flames, spilling blood from a mage who is adjusting his circle to shoot ice at him. But at his side, a warrior from another world who was not afraid of bullets and bullets had already rushed to his side.

In the eyes of the VR equipped audience, they should quickly replace the carbine without bullets, lower their bodies sideways, and block the blow of the opponent's short sword with a tactical vibrating saber, and then-

Pull out your pistol and shoot cleanly into the opponent's eye socket! With the cooperation of VR equipment, these delicate actions that can only be completed with blunt prompts such as "Players press E" and "Players please slam the space" can be experienced without barriers.

"Our fans have already made the right predictions before, and this time the Citizen Call will return to a real-world setting. Of course, it's not the fight against aliens that you've been badly criticized by you, but this time we're going to unite all of humanity on Earth to fight against invaders from another world. ”

As the scene turns, rain falls from the dim sky, and a sturdy bulldozer shovel on the ground pushes the cement residue away. The tracks and barrels exposed behind the smoke and dust presumptuously announce the arrival of the most powerful ground melee machine on Earth.

"Well, here the player will control the PLA ground forces' most proud ground combat power, TYPE99A main battle tanks, to destroy the enemy steel-armored monsters that threaten the ground infantry. In this game, we fully took into account the thoughts and feelings of players in the Chinese market, and listened to their opinions. A lot of players wanted China to continue to play the positive side in the franchise, so we did just that. ”

The tanks controlled by the player used APFSDS to defeat several steel-armored monsters that were attacking the infantry defensive positions one after another, and the Chinese game reporters and guests in the audience couldn't help but be addicted. THE PURE CHINESE DUBBING FROM THE COMMANDER IS POWERFUL AND IMPACTFUL, AND IT IS SAID THAT THE PRODUCTION TEAM ACTUALLY FOUND NETIZENS WHO USED TO BE THE COMMANDER TO DO THE VOICE ACTING - JUST LIKE EUGENSYSTEM DID IN "WAR GAMES - RED DRAGON" AND "WARGAME4 (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NAME IS)".

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, or should I say that the tradition of the Call of the Citizens series? The 99A is quickly destroyed by an ambush mage from a high place, and the protagonist is rescued from the car by his comrades from the North American Union Army.

"The story takes place in two cities, in China and the United States, and in several cities in East Asia. Our protagonist must find out the secrets hidden under the fire of war from the ongoing conflict between the Earth Alliance and the magical forces of another world, and find the key to ending the war. ”

The scene turns again, and the protagonist jumps out of the gangplank of the transport plane, and the head of the scene can see Mt. Fuji of Yamadai. Some viewers even looked down without fear of death, and their behavior of not being afraid of heights was naturally rewarded.

Below is the Edo city of Yamadai, and the terrain depicted in the game is far more accurate than they imagined. The markings on the streets, the various signboards on the buildings, and the Yamadai Self-Defense Force-North American Federal Marine Corps coalition in the distance are all visible as they rely on the barricades to resist the forces on the magic side.

"In this mission, most of the entire Edo city is an area for the player to move. Players will be able to play a single-player game with a high degree of freedom, or cooperate with online players to complete main quests and side quests, as well as unlock various achievements and play in challenge mode. ”

The test players on the screen alternate cover side by side, and one of them even pulls out the intercom when he arrives at the marked location, opens the selection menu, and starts to choose his favorite vehicle.

"In these urban areas opened in the first version, including the free zones of Edo and Chongqing, players can freely use the corresponding points to call in vehicles to provide better firepower and protection support for themselves, and help them better complete their missions. From the most basic, but also the most suitable for drag racing, off-road motorcycles to Humvees, to Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, remote-controlled Black Knight robot combat vehicles, to Yamatai Ground Self-Defense Force's wheeled anti-tank guns, Type 10 lightweight tanks, and PLA ground forces' twin 35 anti-aircraft guns, as well as 99A tanks, you can buy them at will through this function! ”

These routines seem strange in the larger system of citizen summoning, but in fact they are all bad tricks played by its competitors - to be honest, EA's subordinate DICE, who has been disagreeable with citizen summoning since more than a decade ago, released "Battlefield: Mericagate" a few months ago, and even Activision Blizzard, a new theme of portals and magic armies, is a step late.

However, as a big cold rice series that does not lose to the best old drivers, Citizen Call can always attract a group of loyal old players. The sales of this work naturally opened another small climax.,Of course, that's a story later.。

"Well, just like the previous Citizen Summons, our players can still pick up enemy weapons and use them. In the early days of the missions, the order cannot be chosen, and the player controls a character who can only use non-magic weapons dropped by the enemy. However, the player will gradually master the enemy's method of casting magic...... Note that magic will not only give the character more destructive power, but also more accurate hits, as well as ways to travel like cornices and walls......"

DICE's booth wasn't as aggressive as Activision Blizzard - compared to Activision's complete abandonment of the new Citizen Call on PC, EA still allows fans of the Battlefield franchise to play across networks on PC. In contrast to Citizen Summoning, which focused on the gameplay experience, DICE focused on combat and teamwork - as they did with Battlefield 2, Battlefield 3, Rebel Company, Battlefield 1943, and more.

So DICE's booth was just full of computers and a projection screen that blocked the computers. The magical civilization and the information civilization in the trailer are fighting each other in the big map, but in a blink of an eye, it has become a civil war between magical civilizations.

The medieval wind tower with its blown pedestal collapsed itself little by little, kicking up thousands of smoke and dust. The sight was particularly spectacular from the perspective of the Wyvern Knights hovering around.
