The whole E3 is not only a report and performance for game manufacturers, a gluttonous feast for all players, but also a stage for countless drama media around the world.

From the inside story of various news, behind-the-scenes footage, experience feelings, various reviews of games and hardware, and of course, various rankings and awards at the end, it is also the drama that players are looking forward to for those games and manufacturers that are in the limelight.

But any game media will basically give its own best, and it is difficult to reconcile, and each has its own bias and reasons. If you have to choose one of the most authoritative, the most objective, and the most able to reduce the level of tearing among players, it can undoubtedly be Game Critics Aards, which has been opened since 1998.

In fact, this is only an independent third-party organization, and it has nothing to do with the organizer ESA, but its list of winners is voted for by major mainstream media in Europe and the United States, including IGN, gamespot, gamer, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, etc., which is the most convincing.

In the minds of players, it has become the official award of E3 and has attracted the most attention.

On June 16th, Game Critics Aards announced their final poll answers.

There is a long list of awards every year, the most important of which is undoubtedly the "Best of Sho", and winning this award at E3 basically shows that this game will definitely be able to kill all sides after its launch.

It's easy to look away, but with so many authoritative media outlets looking away, the likelihood is relatively low.

However, there are exceptions, such as the 2001 award that did not go to any game, but to the gaming hardware that made a big splash at that year's show, Ren Bliss's NGC (Nintendo GameCube), the company's fourth-generation home game console before the ii hit the market.

That year's E3 countless players squeezed their heads just to take a look at this purple square box, but it really backfired after the listing, and the result was a big surprise, and the final sales were in the early 20 million, not to mention compared with the historical sales of the console PS2, even the rising star of XBOX, which has just entered the console field, has come from behind and surpassed it.

Later, GCA also continued the tradition of awarding hardware in this way, but there were no exceptions, and the PSP in '04 and ii in '07 were all great successes.

And those games that have won this award, "Doom 3", "Half Dead 2", and "Fallout 3" are all classics that have left their names in history.

This year, the award went to Naughty Cat's Uncharted 2: Across the Seas.

The other four nominees were Beast Sagas, Mass Effect 2, New Year's Call 6, and Splinter Cell: Conviction, with the first two coming from the EA booth and the latter two coming from AutoVision and Yubi, respectively. Standing out from such a lineup of nominees is a testament to the game's high quality and successful presentation.

There is nothing to do with this award, ProjectB is just still in the press conference, and the exhibition site is just playing that promotional video in turn, and nothing else...... Best exhibited? Unreasonable.

And "Uncharted 2" not only released a demo, but also a trial, and even the online mode has been taken out, and the degree of completion has been very high, and it is confirmed that it will be launched within this year. Later, many people also considered it to be the best in the entire series.

ProjectB won another prestigious award, "Best of Game Trailers", which is for those who have not done much to complete but have already come up with a trailer that shows some game content.

Also nominated along with Bluefish Network's ProjectB is the PSP version of Soni's Gran Turismo, which has been out of ticket for five years ...... Castlevania: Lords of Shadows...... There's also the glamorous gala of Assassin's Faith 2 and the hooded Ezio in the shadows, as well as a drag race, crash, and rollover footage from Need for Speed 13: Shift.

In these five nominated trailers, the Bluefish Network received a total of 16 of the 31 media outlets, which is twice as much as the second-place "Assassin's Faith 2".

The official evaluation given by the GCA is: "The appearance of this trailer is one of the most memorable moments of this E3, it is so impressive, many players feel this mysterious charm from the ancient East for the first time, it seems elusive, but it does not seem to be without a trace." ”

"The halo that appears in the whole scene for a long time (not just to show the light and shadow effects) and the hints given by the herring network from time to time make us always feel that it is not a real world, but this is also something we discussed a lot in the end. There is no official answer, and many people are also speculating, what kind of world is that? ”

"For example, is the protagonist dreaming, or is it a memory marquee before drowning? Maybe it's another parallel world, but it intersects and influences each other? Or maybe it...... The person in the water and the protagonist are not a person at all, just twins? Well, the last guess is just a pure make-up, but until Fisoa announces the answer, a lot of media and players will continue to speculate like this, and we've even seen people looking for details in the film and analyzing the clues......"

"Regardless, it's probably the best game trailer and one of the most moving videos ever shown at E3 this year, and we think it's likely to be a strong contender for the Best Game award at that year's awards if it does make it out in 2011."

The other awards were also awarded, and the dust settled, because all the awards were for new games that had not yet been released at the show, and the other two exhibited works of the Blue Fish Network were also not eligible for the awards.

Best Original New Novel: "Doodle Adventurer", the most interesting thing about this new game developed by 5th Cell is that players can enter English words in the game to get the corresponding props to decrypt, indifferently, the words entered must also be in the game...... This kind of creative gameplay has earned it a lot of praise in the media.

The best PC game went to Star Wars: The Old Republic developed by Gayare Austin Studios, which was first announced in October '07 and officially named last October, and by this year's E3, they came up with a new promotional CG about the Jedi VS Sith that ignited Star Wars fans around the world.

There is no suspense in the best hardware, naturally it is the huge and hard "Project Natal" motion sensing controller, which directly uses a 3D camera and motion recognition software to identify the player's movements, and CCTV's "News Network" has given it several seconds of footage...... It's not the skateboard controller that Ye Shenxi said in an interview with a female reporter from Time Magazine before.

Best Action Game: "New Year's Call 6"; The best adventure game is still Uncharted 2; Best RPG Mass Effect 2; There's also Best Multiplayer Online Game, which goes to Villefort's Survival Journey, and Best Home Console Game that goes uncharted 2......

The announcement of the GCA Awards means that E3 2009 is all over and is just an exhibition for players, media and the public to know what these game makers are up to. After this time, there will be continued busy R&D work, preparations for the next global game show will begin, more negotiations that have been reached and started at E3 have not yet come to fruition, and it will take time for business cooperation to begin.

There's still a lot to do.

For players, the pre-show press conference and the content of the show are far from digested, and the heated and even heated discussions on social media, the arguments between different opinions, and the exploration of the truth about the world of the Project B trailer will continue for a long time.

……

……

At the end of June, Xia Qingyu and Murong returned to Funan with their front feet and came to Funan, with a two-day time difference.

Ye Shenxi had already mentioned the matter of Murong to Xia Qingyu, and now in the R&D headquarters of Qingyu Network, there is a new office, and the sign posted at the door reads "Audio Group...... This department, along with the art group, is not owned by any one studio, but is a separate department. But there are a lot fewer people, and at present, there is only one member of Murong, who is the boss and a thug.

Another difference is that the art team works in a large office, which is convenient to communicate with the planning program at any time, and the audio side is a special office, and the communication needs are also there, but not so often, mainly because I am afraid of arguing with others...... The doors and walls of the office were "reinforced" with soundproofing materials.

It feels like the office is a bit insufficient......

Xia Qingyu had already decided to have her own office building on the Qingyu Network, and even earlier, not long after the launch of the Qingyu Network's "Eternal War", she was already thinking about how to decorate. She really went to see two pieces of land, Huangpu and Funan.

This software park in the south of Funan City can be regarded as a good one, with more enterprises, more employees, more rigid needs, and more transportation, housing, shopping malls, restaurants, schools, entertainment and leisure places and so on.

Walking on the road outside the software park now, it is obvious that the flow of people and the degree of prosperity have increased compared with two years ago.

However, the land price in this area is still not expensive, Xia Qingyu earlier took a fancy to the company's address about one kilometer west of a plot of about 40,000 square meters, convenient transportation, complete surrounding supporting facilities, asked in March, the price is about 700 yuan / square meter floating.

This is a piece of commercial office land, not residential land, not so expensive, at this time the price of residential land in Funan has soared to more than 5,000, so the house built in this way can not be sold expensive.

Coupled with the relationship of the Xia family in the local area, Funan City's support for the software industry in the south of the city, and the weight of Qingyu Network in the city's software industry are considered by many factors, it is not a problem to win, and even the price can be lowered a little more...... Xia Qingyu's original expectation was 630 a flat, and he didn't want to go too far.

"Don't go too far......" This was Xia Qingyu's original words to her father at that time.

Anyway, she now knows about the Qingyu Network, and Xia Yuqi has always been able to mix things behind her back, especially some major company matters, so she asked Ye Shenxi to ask for clarification, give advice, and give some instructions.

For things like buying land and building his own building, he must also call the relevant departments and invite some people to dinner...... I wonder what feng shui master will be invited to come from other places to see feng shui...... But if the land price is lowered, what is it like, I am obviously a company built by strength, and it is not that I can't afford it, so why does it make people feel as if they rely on their father for everything.

Of course, she doesn't have such a steel plate, highlighting a upright, even if she relies on her father, there is nothing to say, she just doesn't like others to think that she relies on her father, anyway, don't go too far......

Finally, in May, Qingyu Network spent a total of 23 million yuan, with an average price of 568 yuan per square meter, to purchase the property rights of this 40,400 square meters of commercial land for 40 years, and the cash for the purchase of the land was still paid in installments...... The price of 558 is also really auspicious.

This was followed by the submission of an application for land use and development to the relevant authorities, and the approval process could be completed around October, and then construction began. An architectural firm has been commissioned to start the design, and it should be one of the landmark buildings in the south of Funan when completed, and the artistic style is extremely strong.

After work, Xia Qingyu sometimes went over with Ye Shenxi to take a look, and then stood in front of the ground, this girl stood with her hands in her hands, and she was arrogant, thinking in her heart that this is the country I have laid down.

Huangpu was slightly delayed, not so smooth, anyway, they were founded more than half a year later than the Funan headquarters, let's talk about the first come, then come. The point is that the Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park developed very early, it was created in 92, where is there so much vacant land for you to choose.

If you really can't pick anything you like, Xia Qingyu also considered buying a ready-made office building directly, and then doing some "modifications" to become the style of herring, trying to be consistent with Funan, so that people can see at a glance, ah, that is the herring network.

……

The two went to the airport to pick up Murong together, and they also brought dumplings with them...... Anyway, when Murong's flight arrived, it was also off-duty time, and the boss personally greeted him, playing a role of grace. Although Murong is currently a commander of the light pole, he is also one of the company's leaders at the administrative level, in charge of an independent department, taking the wind, inviting a meal, and then ...... Please work hard for the company.

And...... Or else? Did Xia Qingyu ask Ye Shenxi to pick it up alone?

Murong didn't expect the chairman to pick him up in person, and she was a little flattered, but it was also limited, maintaining her consistent artistic temperament and cold style.

Xia Qingyu talked with Murong cordially and friendly, and didn't talk about any official business, mainly to get to know the important members of the future R&D structure, and asked about the family situation, personal interests, and life in graduate school, etc., which is so kind.

But the dumplings are still a little stunned, after it has achieved its cuteness, in the face of its offensive, I don't know how long it has been since I received such a "cold reception". When it stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail to Murong's feet and raised its head to beg for **, it was directly ignored by the girl, and she didn't even look at it...... This trick has been crisscrossing the herring fish network for more than a year, and it has never tried it in the face of people who have a good impression of it, even Yang Shu, who lacks roots and tendons, knows how to touch its head.

Dumplings were a little unconvinced at first, and they worked harder and more dedicatedly to sell cuteness, and then they still returned in vain, and finally chose to give up helplessly after a few times, and began to suspect that the dog was born.

After dinner, she was sent directly to the hotel, originally Qingyu Network would solve the housing problem for such employees, but Murong was more picky, and still wanted to choose by herself, so let her go.

The next day, she came directly to the company, and it was not officially going to work, but she was just familiar with the working environment and partners.

In fact, Murong could have left school a long time ago, and she had been waiting to get her degree certificate at the end of June, and by the way, she thought about her life direction after graduation, and it would take time to communicate with her family, and her family still wanted her to take the classical orchestra route.

The rest of the time, I took the time to look at the game-related materials sent to her by the studio, mainly the ProjectB project of Henggong Studio. Now that there is an audio department, it is in charge of all the audio effects in all the games under the herring fish network. In the future, Ye Shenxi has no intention of outsourcing anything in this regard.

The herring fish network has the same requirements for the program, the art two, and now the audio three departments, which require them to have enough understanding of the game they are responsible for, and not to base information acquisition on communication with the planner, and how to describe the plan......

Especially for art and sound effects, Ye Shenxi hopes that they will create as much as possible by themselves, and the planning only needs to describe a general description, and the specific design and direction must be completed by themselves.
