"Game of the Year?"

Xu Rui was also a little confused when he received the contact from the public relations side.

This annual game award,He's heard of it,The organizer is a joint brand of several game media,It's different from the animation of the year,There is no industry association involved,So whether it's professional or authoritative,It's slightly inferior,Although it claims to be the biggest award in the game industry,But the vast majority of game companies just laughed it off。

For example, the year before last, there was a game that had not been officially released in the list of candidates for the game of the year, and it was only in the testing stage, just because the game was played by many people during the test, and the discussion was extremely hot, although it was full of bugs and plug-ins, but it did not prevent it from entering the shortlist.

That year's Game of the Year Awards also attracted a lot of attention, of course, in the end, the game was not selected for any final awards, and even half a year after the selection, the game lost a large number of users due to the flood of plug-ins, and the game mode was copied by other games and cooled.

But who cares, Game of the Year awards are all about visibility.

There are five works nominated for this year.

The game "Tomorrow's Future" produced by Suoren is a post-apocalyptic survival FPS game with a linear plot with a high degree of freedom, and the game sold 5 million copies.

ES Games' "Dragon Quest 10" is a classic turn-based RPG, the series has a history of more than ten years, and there are many die-hard fans in China.

Doom 4 is a refreshing linear story shooter that has a lot of skills and props compared to ordinary suddenness, making it more fun.

Horizon 3 is produced by Fruit Fudge Entertainment, a racing game known for buying the rights to real-life vehicles, and the scenery in the game is also good.

Finally, there is Hatsune Games' Bloodborne: Cursed.

After the announcement of this list of candidates, there was an immediate uproar on the Internet.

China's largest console game forum,V9,The gathering here is basically console players,The overall atmosphere is not very worthy of PC gamers,More look down on mobile games and web game players,In some people's words,Playing games is also a chain of contempt。

For example, console players feel that they are the most noble, PCs are shoddy games, PC stand-alone gamers look down on online game players, thinking that they play games just to deceive others to send thousands of miles, PC online game players look down on mobile game players, and feel that the games they play have no connotation at all, and mobile game players look down on page game players, thinking that they are all kryptonite sows and nouveau riche.

In other words, the page gamer is at the bottom of the game's chain of contempt.

In the V9 forum, players who like other games like the most are in the relevant news posts, and when they see the list of candidates for the annual game selection, they are instantly [beep-] tide.

[Corn Steamed Bun]: It's funny, why is there still a page game mixed in it, and the judges are all thinking about aircraft carriers?

[Red Petal]: When I saw that game on the selection list a few years ago, I thought that this game of the year was the Pheasant Award, but you don't believe it, but now it's okay, and even the page game is mixed in.

[White Bone]: When did you have the illusion that this award is not a pheasant award, every year's works are selected based on popularity, and the judges don't understand the game at all, they just want to stir up the heat.

[LKOP]: It's good to be on the shortlist, if the game of the year gets this garbage page game by then, then I'm afraid that everyone's faces will be swollen?

[Forbidden Coriander]: I just want to know how much money Hatsune Games put into the jury to make a page game into the selection list.

[Confident Lookback]: Anyway, has anyone played this page game, I see my cousin they play every day, and there are many girls on Weibo who are playing.

[Crooked Spoon]: Who would waste time playing this, I still have a lot of games waiting for me to complete at home.

[Sesame Douhua]: You are still too naïve, it is obvious that the jury is looking for a hot game, don't you know that "Bloodborn: Curse" has only been in operation for three months and already has 15 million users, the game's turnover in August and half a month is 300 million, and it is 500 million in September and October.

[Refreshing curls]: So much ??? it,If I'm a game manufacturer,I'm trying my best.,It's taken several years to make 3A.,The money he makes is not as good as the page game he made in half a year.,Then I'm still a ghost.,Everyone goes to do a page game.,Don't play big games in the future.。

Many players who focus on single-player feel that web games are pure kryptonite games, and there is no fun at all, and "Bloodborne: Cursed" must rely on some ulterior PY transactions to enter the shortlist, and even more, they think that making money from browser games is unreasonable for the entire game industry and will stifle the development of single-player masterpieces.

Xu Rui himself felt confused.

He didn't have any contact with the jury of the Game of the Year Awards, nor did he ask the game department to send any materials, and he wouldn't spend money to "buy" Bloodborne: Cursed into it.

To be honest, Xu Rui's own attention to these awards is very low, and the industry award of annual animation can also participate, after all, it is an award for professional judges, and the selection team composed of media such as the Game of the Year Award is the real pheasant award in Xu Rui's opinion, and he doesn't want to participate.

After receiving the contact, Xu Rui communicated with the judges of this annual game award and learned that this group of judges just wanted to rub the popularity of "Bloodborne: Curse", you know, now this game is the hottest in various social circles, if it can be pulled into the selection, then the popularity will be spread to the Game of the Year Award.

To put it simply, they chose "Bloodborne: Cursed" to add topicality to themselves, just to lead the war!

Xu Rui couldn't laugh or cry, after all, this selection is essentially a media selection, and whether or not he wins the award will not have much impact on the game itself, and looking at it like this, "Bloodborn: Curse" is probably responsible for accompanying the run, stirring up the atmosphere, and causing some controversy by the way, although this kind of award is useless, he still has to give those game media a face, so as not to make a moth when he enters the console game in the future, so Xu Rui also acquiesced to the competition.

After sorting out some information with the jury and checking this year's nominations, "Bloodborne: Cursed" was not only shortlisted for Game of the Year, but also in several sub-awards such as Best Mobile Game, Best Social Game, Best Game Music, Best Game Art, etc., and it seems that the judges particularly like this game.

The date of the award is December 26th, Xu Rui looked at the arrangement, he didn't have time for the time being, so he asked Huo Luofei to participate in the award ceremony instead of himself, and he was busy with the selection of works for this year's Spring Festival New Year's Festival, and the second work of the sound synthesis engine will be held on New Year's Day.

Just a few days before the Game of the Year Awards, the final episode of Pure White Narcissus also aired.

The previous super-expansion plot continued, leaving the audience stunned, and the production team seemed to have really let go of themselves, although there were still viewers who were looking forward to the fact that the bigger and bigger plot could have a beautiful ending in the last episode.

But I didn't expect that the last episode of "Pure White Narcissus" really created the history of Chinese animation!
