"I said, you'd better get out of here, man."

The young man who had just come out, although he looked like a yellow race, spoke fluent English. At this time, there was even a look of pity on his face, and the contempt was unobstructed.

"Interesting, you're the maker of the game?" Samuel snorted disdainfully.

Although he knew that the other party was using the most basic agitation method, as a well-known "weirdo", Samuel did not leave, but stayed without suspense, and asked in an unkind tone: "You are very confident in your game?" ”

- GameSpot doesn't want to offend big companies, so some big games are sometimes rated high, but it's not the same for an obscure indie game like Hell's Capital, and as long as Samuel wants to, even if he gives him a zero score, the webmaster probably won't have any opinion.

Samuel, who was not in a good mood, was despised again in such a small booth, and at this time, he was ready to pick thorns.

"Can I try your game? I'll give it a fair rating. Samuel accentuated the tone of the word "justice."

If you want to find out the shortcomings of the game, you have to try it out. Even Samuel, who is in a bad mood now, is not willing to talk nonsense without playing the game, which will only reduce himself to the same level as other game commentators.

As he expected, hearing this, the young man who had provoked him just now really paused slightly and asked, "Rating?" ”

"That's right, I'm a guest game reviewer on GameSpot, let me try your game." Samuel showed a lewd smile: "Or do you not dare to let me try it?" ”

I thought that the other party would refuse my request to try the game, and I apologized to myself. But Samuel soon realized that he had guessed completely wrong this time.

After a slight wavering, a eager smile suddenly appeared on the young man's face, and he made a confident "please" gesture, signaling Samuel to sit down in front of a free trial machine:

"Let's try it."

"......" realized that the other party was not afraid. Samuel also felt speechless at this time. Just then, the young man spoke again:

"As a reviewer for a big site like Gamespot, I think your rating should be fair and impartial, right?"

"Of course." Samuel replied immediately.

In the eyes of this reviewer, who is intimidating to the average game developer, his rating is indeed very objective and fair, but it is a little stricter.

To put it simply, it's not that you're underrated, it's that others are overrated.

Seeing that this young man seems to be very confident in "Hell Capital", Samuel didn't have any hope, but simply came to find fault. There was also a faint hint of anticipation rising in my heart.

――What is it about "Hell Capital" that makes this person so confident? Is that guy really sure that he thinks he will give this game a high score in this situation?

Samuel, who is full of suspicion, clicks the "new-game" button in "Hell Capital" and begins his first journey in Hell Capital.

……

"Boss, is it really okay?"

Seeing that Samuel was already sitting in front of the computer and frowning and starting to try the game, Blake asked worriedly.

The identity of this person has not been identified before. It wasn't until the guy said he was a commentator for GameSpot that he finally remembered. This guy should be Samuel, a critic who has been called a "nightmare" by many game manufacturers. Lancaster!

Due to the harsh scoring criteria, many game manufacturers have put forward opinions. Later, this person was also directly beaten into the cold palace by Gamespot, and he was no longer in charge of game ratings.

Blake thought that this man was gone, but he didn't expect to meet this plague god here today. What's even more terrifying is that this plague god is still in a very bad mood, and he started to try out the game "Hell Capital" with malice!

"It's fine. Although the man is stupid, the rating should still be fair. Zhao Nuo said confidently.

"However, if he gives us a low score on GameSpot, it will also affect the future of the game...... "Blake is still a little worried.

Hearing this, Zhao Nuo patted Blake on the shoulder comfortingly: "When did your 'execution team' become so unconfident?" Where is the arrogance of the previous development of "The Executioner"? How is the quality of this game. You should know better than I do. ”

Hearing this, Blackton suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if a big stone pressed on his chest was shattered, and a smile finally appeared on his face, which was still full of worry:

"yes...... We know the quality of this game best. ”

――As a game that the execution team and others of Hellfire Entertainment have been working on for half a year, "Hell Capital" has put almost all the effort of hundreds of people into this half year.

Under the "forging" of a group of crazy game enthusiasts working overtime, this game can be said to be taking shape at an astonishing speed, although only a demo version has been made so far, but the playability and content richness are even higher than the full version of some games.

In that case, what is there to be afraid of?

If you are afraid now, it is equivalent to denying all the efforts of the hundreds of people in Hellfire Entertainment before......

Blake was still thinking nonsense, but saw Zhao Nuo pointing in Samuel's direction.

He turned his head to see Samuel, who had been frowning two minutes ago, and the expression on his face had stretched a lot, and he was preoccupied with manipulating his game character to walk through the streets, exploring the "capital of hell" that was completely unknown to him.

"Now we can only pray that this guy doesn't like sandbox games, and if he hates this game mode, then there's nothing I can do." Zhao Nuo said in a low voice.

"He must like the high degree of freedom game mode, right? It seems that he gave high ratings to "GTA4", "Lao Roll 5" and "Minecraft" back then. Blake thought back to the ratings Samuel he had seen on GameSpot.

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better." Zhao Nuo smiled slightly.

――――――――――

On the second day of the E3 show, Blackburn thought it would be as laid-back as the first day, but as soon as it "opened" early in the morning, it was met with a large number of visitors. Squeeze in front of the Viper booth and wait to try out Hell Capital.

"No, what did that guy say......" Blake shook his head with a wry smile and quickly called a few employees who didn't come yesterday to help maintain order. At the same time, he stood in front of the crowd and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry. It was my negligence at work, and I didn't expect so many people to come...... Please come in line one by one, and if you feel that the waiting time is too long, you can visit the other booths first......"

Since the scale of the booth is not large, there are only eight trial machines in the Hell Capital City, and it is estimated that it will probably be lined up until noon if you want to let all these people who are now blocked in front of the booth play.

The first few people were arranged to try the game first, and the others stood behind them to "watch". Blake hurriedly took out his phone and opened the browser, and entered the URL of GameSpot. Immediately noticed a news headline:

"Fantastic free-play experience, Samuel. Lancaster reviews "The Capital of Hell". ”

After a quick glance at the news, Blake immediately understood why so many people came to try it out today:

The game critic, who has always been extremely harsh, rarely gives a passing grade, and has a very bad reputation in the industry, gave the demo version of "Hell Capital" a whopping score of 8.6.

For Samuel. Lancaster. His 8.6 is even more valuable than the 10 of other critics. Because of this, after the release of this news. Many people also came to try out "Hell Capital", which had been unattended until now.

Their question is: Is the game really as good as Samuel said it is?

Although Samuel gave a very rare high score this time, this score was still the same as his previous low score, which caused a lot of controversy. Some people even wonder if he was bought by the makers of "Hell Capital".

――Is "Hell Capital", developed by the "Viper Company", which I have never heard of before, really worth this score?

With such doubts. This time, many reporters from the game press rushed to try out the game, including the sworn enemies of GameSpot, and the agents of some game manufacturers who were heartbroken by Samuel's low scores.

Many of these people who came to try it out today didn't really want to experience Hell Capital, but simply wanted to find out the flaws of the game. Prove Samuel's rating wrong, thus giving the guy a resounding slap in the face.

Blake, who knew the purpose of these people, was also a little worried at this time.

Looking at the eight people in the first row who were trying to play, more than half of them showed an expression of "bitterness and hatred", and he was about to say something, but he heard a reassuring voice in his ears:

"Hey, I'm late."

Zhao Nuo walked over quickly, as if he had already expected today's situation, and did not show any surprise, but just stood aside with his arms crossed, smiling and looking at the crowd of people who were trying to play at the booth.

"Boss, I'm still a little worried, many of these guys are here to find fault today." Blake said in a low voice.

"I know." Zhao Nuo nodded.

Before the words fell, they heard a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes who was trying to play the game, and said indignantly:

"I'll just say that Samuel is really unreliable, and his rating this time is complete nonsense!"

“……”

Hearing this, Blake was about to step forward to ask, but the other party's next sentence made him stay in place in surprise:

"This game is only 8.6 points? It's too low.,If the full version can maintain this quality.,It's completely potential for a full score game! ”

"A perfect score is a bit too exaggerated, but if you want to ensure the quality, a score of 9 should be fine." One of the people next to him also spoke.

"I like this kind of game with a high degree of freedom, I can do whatever I want, that's the essence of the game, and those games with limited frameworks are outdated." Another critic who seemed to be polite said.

Hearing these positive comments, Blake, who was still a little nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he was surprised again to find that Zhao Nuo beside him actually joined the discussion of these game media reporters and critics:

"I think it's better to have a fixed framework for certain genres, such as horror and adventure games."

In the next few minutes, Viper's booth turned into a "conference room" for a group of people to express their opinions and discuss their views on the game's story......

Seeing this unexpected scene, Blake sighed, went to the corner, took out his mobile phone, and called several employees who were still on the road:

"Where have you been?"

"We're going to the convention center soon, what's wrong?" The staff on the other end of the line asked.

"Hurry up and get a few computers and bring them over, there are not enough trial machines here." Blake immediately ordered.

A surprised voice came from the other side of the phone: "Didn't you say before that we should remove the redundant machine?" He also said that few people should come to try the game, even if there are only eight sets, it is a waste......"

"Damn, I was stupid before. All in all, bring a couple of computers with you when you come, even if it's a laptop, it's going to be fast anyway! Blake said angrily and hung up.

Now that he thinks about it, he even feels the urge to slap himself in the face - he was pessimistic about this game before, but now it seems that he was completely wrong, if he hadn't asked for the removal of a few demo consoles at that time, there wouldn't be so many people still in line......

Fortunately, Zhao Nuo didn't seem to care much about this matter, and he didn't blame it, which finally made him breathe a sigh of relief. When he worked in the Hellfire Company before, he had already learned Zhao Nuo's strictness.

After waiting patiently for about twenty minutes, the staff still couldn't arrive. At this time, in the crowd waiting for the trial, there was a dissatisfied voice:

"Is the front one okay? You guys are trying to play and not clearing the game, can you let us experience it too? ”

Seeing that these "human-looking" and very polite game critics actually said such things, Blake's eyes widened in surprise. Before he had time to say anything, he only heard a bald man who was trying the game in front of him retort in a rough voice:

"Less nonsense, the one who is half a beat slower should be waiting in the back!" (To be continued......) R1292
