[Chapter 374: Star Citizen Developer Symposium]

The boring half-hour wait was finally coming to an end, and as the entrance was about to open, the staff of the organizer turned on the megaphone and shouted in bilingual at the scene, "The exhibition is about to open, please enter the venue in an orderly manner according to the queue......... the―exhibition―is―about―to―open,please―the―majority―of―players―line……”

The staff on the scene are sweating profusely, after the opening of the exhibition entrance, they are relieved to see the orderly entry of tourists, there are too many tourists, the organizers are happy and also very cautious, this kind of large-scale event is most afraid of safety accidents, especially for groups such as game enthusiasts, the enthusiasm for favorite games is not much weaker than those fans.

As soon as the show opened, the organizers were stunned by the next scene, and the large number of people almost all went in one direction, and it was the exhibition area of the five major game developers, and there is no doubt that more than two-thirds of them came for virtual games and perception helmets.

But the most embarrassing thing is the domestic game companies participating in the exhibition, whose popularity has basically been sucked away by the five major game companies, and the few remaining ones have also gone to the exhibition area of Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase. Especially those companies that promote mobile games.,The exhibition area is very cool.,Plus cos sister paper sells all kinds of cute.,But not many people care.,Except for a few dead houses who took a photo and ran away.,It's basically chilling and distressing.。

"Look, there's ......"

"Wow! When is it open? I can't wait! ”

When they first arrived at the exclusive exhibition area of the five major game developers, everyone looked in one direction, a very empty and large venue, through the transparent glass windows, the internal facilities were unobstructed, and visitors saw that there were only a few staff inside, but everyone was attracted. As far as the eye can see, 8,000 perception helmets are neatly and orderly placed on rows of tabletops, and there is a comfortable seat next to each set of equipment.

A legendary virtual game!

When queuing up to enter the exclusive exhibition area of the five major game companies, there is an electronic device at the entrance here, and a beautiful staff member is standing next to the equipment.

Soon. The team of Jack and Matthews in the queue finally came to the entrance, Jack looked at the equipment at the entrance curiously, and after a while, a small paper ticket was spit out from a small mouth of the device, and the sister paper next to him immediately handed the paper ticket to Jack, and said with a smile in fluent English: "Hello, this paper ticket will be the voucher for you to experience the virtual game, that is, where ......" Sister paper pointed to the venue in the transparent glass window next door, and added: "The content above shows what time period and which device you will experience...... Only this ticket is valid, so be sure to keep it safe! ”

"Wow...... Thank you! ”

"You're welcome ......"

Jack immediately looked at the contents of the small paper ticket, which was marked with English and Chinese bilingual characters.

"Round 5 in 7 hours, number 7899?" Jack muttered to himself.

"I'm number 7900." Matthews said.

"We're in this together!"

"Wow~~! I didn't expect to be able to experience it for a full 50 minutes, it's so loving. Jack said in surprise as he looked at the hint.

Matthews put away the small note in his hand as if he had been treasured, and when he entered the exhibition area, he looked around, "Guys, where are we going?" We have five zones to go to, Comeral? Square Enix? Ubisoft? Roberts? Or is it the R-Star Zone? ”

"Uh...... It seems that I want to go, Comele has "Tomb Raider", Square Enix has "Final Fantasy", Ubisoft has "Assassin's Creed", and R Star has "GTA" these are all games I like...... It's really hard to choose~! ”

"That being said, I've played all of these great games before, so why not go to Star Citizen that you've never experienced before? 12 years of sharpening a sword, don't you look forward to it? Jack said suddenly.

"Great idea! It's the original game I'm looking forward to, so let's go there! ”

Everyone immediately reached an agreement and walked towards the "Star Citizen" exhibition area, that is, the Roberts exhibition area.

At the CJ exhibition, the flow of people basically gathered in the exhibition area of the five major game companies under Matrix Technology, which was the most popular, followed by the exhibition area cooperated by Blizzard Entertainment and NetEase, and the domestic companies that focused on mobile games at the exhibition were basically ignored and were cold to death.

Jack and others soon came to the exclusive exhibition area of "Star Citizen", a 1:1 fighter model is placed here at the entrance, the huge hull and the future are very shocking, many tourists choose to take pictures, Jack and others will naturally not let go.

At this moment, the Star Citizen section is undergoing a developer symposium, where the game media and fans and players are gathered, and more than 1,000 people are full, and many people are standing on the side without seats.

On stage, legendary game designer Chris . Roberts is among them, and it was he who initiated and led the production of the game "Star Citizen", and after Roberts Studios was wholly acquired by Matrix Technology at a high price, he also took advantage of the situation to establish Roberts Game Developer Company.

Roberts sat on the couch, holding the microphone to face all the audience and media, and said: "...... Star Citizen started crowdfunding in 2013, and we got the largest crowdfunding in the industry ever, nearly $160 million, which is very exciting, and it gives us a lot of confidence as developers, this is the best performance of all players who have affirmed us and expected this game, until today, 12 years have passed, and there are countless reports of our death (crowdfunding scam), especially the outside world's enthusiasm for Star Citizen has high hopes and we feel pressured, but the so-called death reports are actually exaggerated......"

"Star Citizen was originally platformed for PC, and we tried to create an exciting, epic space game that was unprecedented, and equally difficult. The development progress of the project team has been slow, and players are becoming more and more convinced of rumors, but we still do not forget our original intention, and we still firmly believe that the game development is not perfect enough......"

"It wasn't until three years ago that Xlous sent someone to visit the studio and told me that Xlous had expressed a strong interest in our project and expressed interest in buying me, and basically Star Citizen was already at a fairly complete point three years ago, but Xlous' intervention and promise changed everything again."

"In the end, after intense discussions, we agreed to the acquisition of Xlous, and we were very sorry to cut out nearly 95% of the completed projects and start all over again, which means that all our 9 years of efforts were denied, and we were denied by ourselves, which requires great courage. Of course, Xlous's support is indispensable, and he promises to pay for the studio's 9 years of investment, and at the same time return all the $160 million in crowdfunding funds to all those who initiated the crowdfunding donation, so that Roberts Studio will become an independent and unburdened development company. ”

"And when I first came into contact with the 'virtual world', to be exact, the first time we five game developers came into contact with the 'virtual world', I understood that the PC was no longer the future, and I was glad that Xlous found us, otherwise it would have been all in vain."

"After the new Roberts company was founded, the parent company injected up to $2 billion in working capital into it, and we had sufficient R&D funds to develop without any baggage."
