Chapter 244: E3
In the moonside city, the bustling business district is bustling with pedestrians, and while online shopping is becoming more and more deeply rooted in human life, the business district is replaced by more experiential services.
Exhibitions of fine goods, well-packaged promotional videos, and performances by theater troupes that travel the world often come here for their own hobbies, hoping to find like-mindedness, exchange and recognition, rather than simply shopping for the purpose of shopping.
For Cao Chuan, living in such an era is undoubtedly beautiful, the smell of copper on the streets is much less, and he sees more of the cityscape because it is contaminated with more interesting things, becoming more energetic and friendly.
For example, today, it is the annual E3 exhibition, since the weakening of the free beacon country, E3 has become more and more unsustainable, the reputation is getting worse and worse, and many people's interest has become Cologne Game Show, Tokyo Game Show, Paris Game Show, and even Night Rabbit JOY.
It wasn't until an employee from the investment department of East Galaxy Company invested in the market for the purpose of loving games and resurrected the E3 exhibition on the moon that it got a new start.
E3 has been able to return to its grandeur after five consecutive years of operation, with more than 600,000 visitors last year, and more than 300,000 foreign tourists coming through the Earth-Moon route alone, which shows the great influence.
Relying on this new banner of the cultural industry, the influence of the East Galaxy Company on the cultural front is becoming more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and maybe one day it will be able to surrender without a fight, directly "cultural victory", so that the people of the whole earth choose to join them.
Looking at the schedule, it seems that there is no business that must be dealt with today, as the honorary advisor of the East Galaxy Company, it is extremely necessary to have a proper rest, and his current status as a perfect human being, no matter what kind of work he is dealing with. are much more efficient than in the past, and save a lot of time.
He decided to dress up and make himself more non-existent, and went straight to the game show with Joan of Arc to relax and see if there was anything new that he hadn't noticed normally.
The fairs are set inside the spherical building when they arrive. It was already crowded with visitors, and the surveillance figures given by Nana showed that the number of people exceeded 200,000.
With so many people, queuing up to enter must be hard, he directly through the green channel, enjoying the privilege of not queuing inside, found an open place to breathe, browsed the exhibition service information on the personal assistance module, and looked for the prey he was interested in.
"Let's not talk about the annual game. I heard that "Dune 4000" is out, do you want to check it out? As a player with feelings, Cao Chuan has a good impression of such an ancient, originator of real-time strategy games.
The game depicts a planet called Alex, which produces a mysterious rare mineral sands called 'spices', which can be used to make jumps and extend the life of humans, which naturally arouses the covetousness of careerists from all sides, and the huge sandworms lurking under the dunes will appear from time to time to devour people on the dunes, which adds a little weirdness and danger to the atmosphere.
It is indeed very appropriate, and with the tentacles of the East Galaxy Company reaching out of the solar system, it may one day encounter the same scene. So with this in mind, he came to the booth. There are many 60 and 70-year-old people in it, they are the main force in front of the booth, and they are all loyal players who have played the Dune series back then, and "young people" like themselves are extremely rare.
Energetic electronic music vibrates the eardrums, and the virtual world is performed in a fiery CG. Directly using projection technology to play in the real world, giving people an immersive experience, as if they have come to an incomparably distant, mysterious, earthy yellow sand and dust everywhere on the alien planet.
Fierce and hideous. Sand worms with their bloody mouths leap underground, pass through, and attack ordinary humans on the surface, although they have mastered the technology of interstellar navigation, they are helpless against underground creatures, the Cosmic Association, the stellar imperial government, and the rulers of the planets, and human beings are struggling to advance in such a world of opportunities and risks.
After the short promotional CG was played, the game producer himself appeared on the stage, demonstrating the actual picture of the game, and even seeing the comments, suggestions, and words of encouragement left by people on one side of the screen from time to time, which made people feel a harmonious atmosphere.
Cao Chuan has seen a lot of this kind of big scene and behaved relatively calmly. There is a saying that reality is the grandest game, when he is still an ordinary little person, when he is running around for the purchase and sale of unmanned aircraft, he naturally does not think that there will be today, therefore, he is increasingly numb to the current world, and even bored with the magnificent world in the game, only to see more changes in the world, human beings become stronger, will produce a little excitement.
"That's a good job." He left a comment and decided to spend 149.99 currency to book in advance, anyway, he was not short of money, what was wrong with using money to support his faith.
Joan of Arc didn't stand beside her, she didn't have a feeling for this kind of antique game, so she was looking at the game on display in the Rising Sun Country on the side.
The games of the Rising Sun usually have an elaborate plot, rich gameplay, and even a beautiful art style, which is an important reason why they are qualified to occupy a place in the game market. Coupled with these qualities, it is easy to give a good first image, and it is not surprising that Joan of Arc will be attracted.
"Beautiful Girl Dream Factory 8", Cao Chuan was trying to hold Joan of Arc, but he didn't expect to see the name of the game, with a strange look on his face, saying that this game is also quite appropriate, telling the story of Lori cultivation that many male compatriots dream of.
"What's wrong? Are you interested? Cao Chuan asked.
"Yes host... This game looks a little pitiful, because it has not released a sequel for many years, its popularity has lost, and it has to adopt a crowdfunding system to develop a sequel, so I plan to invest. ”
"In this way, if you like it, just spend money, and deduct a little from the merits of the employees, which is an additional income calculated in hundreds of millions." Cao Chuan agitated.
He took a closer look again, and immediately understood why the game was so tragic, it turned out that in the era of virtual reality popularity, the traditional 2Dgalgame became more and more depressed, but some 3D manufacturers, it is extremely easy to transform into a virtual reality version, and even the effect is even better, and it has risen to become a big factory praised by many people.
"Although I think that 2D games will be a swan song, since it is a hobby, as long as there is love."
Listening to the master's teaching, Joan of Arc nodded, stepped forward, touched the electronic crowdfunding screen in front of him, entered the number through the brainwave, and then confirmed, the development fee of 1.69 million raised above instantly rose to 2.69 million.
The developers who were hiding behind noticed the change and rushed out excitedly, wanting to see who was throwing a lot of money behind them, could it be a hardcore player with the same philosophy as them?
It's a pity that they didn't find it, or rather, they didn't find someone who participated in the crowdfunding, he only saw a young man with a loli's back, and the developer thought to himself that such a person didn't look like a player who needed to play this kind of game, so he didn't catch up to confirm.
Cao Chuan left with Joan of Arc, noticing a lot of new games, which made him feel good, and Joan of Arc was relieved from his busy work, and his face bloomed with a long-lost lightness. (To be continued.) )
