Chapter 316: One Wears Four? Invitation to the world's top four game awards!

Soon, the development of "It Takes Two" was put on the agenda.

After all, there's not a single piece of content in development for Goldwind these days.

The Gold Experience Studio is busy making late-stage optimization adjustments and content updates for Overwatch, and Chainfinger is busy approaching the Neon Mystic Man to prepare for the new project.

And the external aspect.

Needless to say, Yunwei, Kaonik has nothing else to do every day, and every day he is left to deal with the company's stock price with a Sima face.

The impact of this fiasco was so great that he didn't dare to have any additional thoughts about the Golden Wind for at least half a year, after all, he was now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself.

But!

The so-called pressed down the gourd up scoop.

Yunwei's side has temporarily stopped, but Kemera on the other side, after experiencing the fiasco of "Torii", has regained his foothold through a wolf-like game.

This game, called "Night Stalker", is also set in the Warring States period, with the struggle between the two major forces of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu as the background, through the magic reform to integrate the neon monster elements, with reference to the Romance of the Gods of Huaguo as the blueprint, to create a loyal samurai protagonist in the troubled times, and use him as a starting point to lead to the battle of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu's Komaki Nagakate.

The overall mode of the game is based on a wolf, but it continues the only industrial level that Torii is affirmed.

Although at the level of action design, "Night Stalker" is still not the opponent of "Wolf" with the blessing of the action assistance system.

But in terms of the playability and richness of the content, the game has far surpassed the failed "Torii".

Even, after giving it a 9.1 score evaluation, the well-known evaluation media SNG (Neon) regretted that if it was the night owl and the wolf competing on the same stage, then even if Kemera failed, it would not be as collapsed as it was at the beginning. But the question is, if there is no wolf, where will the night owl come from? It may really be time for Kemela to humbly ask for advice and learn from Gu Sheng, the world's brightest supernova designer today......

Of course!

Regardless of what the media is saying.

The success of the Night Stalker undoubtedly relieved Komela, who had always been plagued by failure.

And this time, Nakamura Shoichi, who made the night owl, was naturally promoted, filling the vacancy of Koizumi's studio, and becoming one of the new heads of the three peak studios after Nishikawa.

So far!

The original veteran royal three families - Yamamoto, Koizumi, and Takasugi.

In just a year and a half, the second has gone.

Studio Yamamoto was replaced by Studio Nishikawa, with Jiro Nishikawa as the head.

Koizumi's studio was replaced by Nakamura Studio, with Nakamura Shoichi as the head.

The only 'relic' left is Takasugi Studio, which is headed by Takasugi Suke.

In fact, to this point, the position of "the head of the three imperial families", which once fascinated both Yamamoto and Koizumi, can be said to be within easy reach for Takasugi.

But Takasugi didn't want it.

He didn't think it was lucky.

Moreover, Takasugi Studio has always been responsible for the development of Komera's som-sensory racing games.

Although racing is also one of the three categories of gun sports, it is the smallest of the three.

The studio he is targeting has always been Huaguo's Flame Game.

As for the wind of gold......

Takasugi really can't raise any hostility, and even because of Mori Gu's relationship, he still has three admiration for Gu Sheng, a supernova designer born in China.

“…… So the head of the three royal families, just leave it to their juniors to fight for it, and I'll be an ordinary director in a down-to-earth manner, which is good,"

In the office, Takasugi chatted with his deputy and smiled:

"Moreover, I think Nakamura, who has been added recently, is very interested."

"Indeed,"

Hearing this, the deputy nodded and continued the teacup:

"Recently, Nakamura and the president have been getting very close, after all, they have just used a night owl to save the decline and stabilize their position, and it is said that they are applying for the development permission of the sequel to "Silent Hill".

"Silent Hill?"

Hearing this, Takasugi's hands trembled, and the tea almost spilled, grinning.

The heart says that the misfortune of the Comela began at Silent Hill.

If it weren't for the fool Tsunade Yamamoto who picked up Koshimasa, he would have pocketed all the "development proceeds" of Silent Hill and kicked out the wind of gold.

Nor will they be tied to the winds of gold.

Without ties, Gu Sheng's version of Silent Hill will be able to penetrate the market with the attitude of "Escape" at the beginning.

After that, through further close cooperation, the two sides will be able to step out of Asia together and launch an impact on Yunwei-Weiwangdi, which stands on top of the world.

You must know that the "Overwatch" produced by Golden Wind alone has dealt a heavy blow to the invincible Yunwei, so that they have not eased up this breath until now.

If it were Gold's Wind and Comela's cooperation.

It won't take too long, at best, two or three years, for Kemera and Yunwei to truly go hand in hand, and truly realize the division of the world in the global game industry.

Pity.

All of this was cut off by the short-sighted Yamamoto Tsunade and the Kamigoshi Keimasa, who only cared about immediate interests.

Arguably.

Comela's misfortune began with "Silent Hill".

Now, Nakamura, who has just been promoted to one of the three royal families, has to bring up the old story again and prepare to develop a sequel to "Silent Hill"?

"Because there have been rumors recently that the wind of gold is working on the copyright of a horror game,"

The deputy said:

"And it is said that the current progress is quite smooth, if nothing else, this work should be the work of the Golden Wind to prepare for the E3 Game Show at the end of September this year."

Hiss –

As soon as these words came out, Takasugi was stunned.

Oh, yes.

Today, Goldwind is already a medium-sized game manufacturer, starting from the previous Neon Dongjin Video Game Festival, the booths of the four major game exhibitions have opened their real doors to them.

The wind of gold will not stop.

And the project they are approaching now, according to the development time, is likely to be an important project for Golden Wind to participate in E3.

Apparently, Nakamura is also aware of this.

So with the success of "Night Stalker", he is ready to launch "Silent Hill", the once failed IP, once again, set up the ring, and start a new round of showdown with the golden wind.

"The idea is good, but the golden wind is not the small company that was kneaded by others back then,"

After taking a sip of tea, Takasugi raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a noncommittal look:

"Even Yunwei now regards it as a thorn in his side, and now the golden wind wants to eat hard, it's not so easy,"

"What's more, have they recently been shortlisted for the GDCA......

GDCA!

Global GDC Choice Award.

As one of the world's four major game awards, GDCA is one of the world's top game awards selected by the GDC (Global Game Developers Conference) organizing committee through comprehensive indicators such as gameplay, number of players, and media feedback.

It is tied with the Golden Joystick Award, DICE (Global Interactive Arts and Science Society Award), and TGA (Global Game of the Year Award), which are also four awards.

These awards are usually given to medium and large game manufacturers.

Thereupon!

Golden Wind, which is now among the ranks of medium-sized game manufacturers, has naturally become one of the invited manufacturers of GDCA.

However, due to the original release date of Wolf, it happened to be in the range where Goldenwind was among the medium-sized game manufacturers and the GDC organizing committee confirmed Goldenwind's qualification.

Therefore, in this award, the list of games shortlisted by Golden Wind is only "Summit Country" and "Overwatch".

But these two games are a little awkward.

It can even be said that if "Wolf" participates, then there is no doubt that this year's GDCA's Best Game of the Year is definitely a wolf with both player reputation and media ratings.

But the problem is that it is the two games "Summit Country" and "Overwatch" that are now participating in the competition.

And both of these games have a very fatal and embarrassing problem -

There is no plot.

The plot here refers to a wolf-like main line that advances the plot, not an Overwatch-style backstory.

To know!

Whether it's GDCA or DICE, or gold rocker and TGA.

When judging whether a game can be the game of the year, the plot plays a large part of the weight.

A game story with a tightly connected plot, interlocking, ups and downs, and a hidden deep ideological core, is a super plus in the scoring process of the award.

This is the fundamental reason why if a wolf participates, then this year's best of the year will definitely be won by it.

Because "Wolf" is the top existence in today's game industry in terms of graphic expression, technical presentation, and fullness of the story.

Not to mention this year, it is to go back five years.

There are only a handful of works that can fight in the ring with a level game like a wolf.

‘…… In addition, the pinnacle country belongs to an unpopular niche game genre, and this year's Golden Wind award is really hard to say.

Now!

In the middle of the venue, the lights are shining!

Located in Hall 1 of the St. Bonnie's International Convention and Exhibition Centre in Sydney, the seats are full!

The clatter of flashing lights dotted the scene into a sea of twinkling stars.

The various game mixed clipping promotional videos on the field were dazzling, and the atmosphere was warm!

At the same time, in the live broadcast screen, the barrage is also continuous, so it's not lively!

It can be seen that players have paid a lot of attention to the golden wind that was shortlisted for the first time in the selection conference-

'Is there hope for Overwatch?' ’

'It's hard to say, it's a battle online game after all'

'There's no online game in history where multiplayer online battles have won the Choice of the Year award, right?' ’

'No, it's mostly indie, and the only multiplayer game that won the annual pick was McRugby seven or eight years ago, and it's still co-op, not online.'

'Xiao Huang's game is so embarrassing, if a wolf comes, they will kill them......

"But it doesn't matter, even if you don't have an annual choice, it's good to win the first prize in the category."

'The pinnacle country of the first in the sports category, it shouldn't have run, right? ’

'That's absolutely certain, with this influence, player enthusiasm and media ratings, Summit Country can definitely win a category jackpot'

'What about watching?' ’

'Watch...... It's probably the [Best Multiplayer Online Battle Online Game Award].

'The Death List'

'Hahahaha

"That's right, the games that have always been shortlisted for the [Best Multiplayer Online Game Award] have not been selected for the year'

'Okay, it's awesome enough for a company to win two category awards......

‘……’

And with the audience's discussion!

The 13th GDCA Development Conference Choice Awards Ceremony is also officially opened!

First of all, under the introduction of the moderator, the two representatives of the organizers took the stage to deliver speeches and expressed their most sincere thanks to all the developer representatives, audience members and media representatives who came to the scene.

After that, after a pleasing live symphony performance, the award ceremony began.

Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Music & Score, Best Sound Design, Best Performance...... One award after another is awarded.

Among them, there are somatosensory cabin platforms and PC platforms.

And in the midst of this!

The most surprising thing for the audience was that Goldwind actually won two awards in these categories of game composition awards!

They are [Best Game Director Award - Gu Sheng] and [Best Music and Soundtrack Award - Pinnacle Country]!

And after Gu Sheng came to the stage again and won the [Best Multiplayer Online Battle Online Game Award - Overwatch], the cheers of the audience reached a climax!

We're just over halfway through the awards ceremony!

Golden Wind has already won three grand prizes!

Some viewers even joked, "Gu Sheng doesn't actually have to step down, just stand at the waiting gate and wait for the roll call at any time."

Though!

With Overwatch on the so-called "death list" as everyone expected from the audience, it has never been and almost impossible to touch the best online game of the year at the thirteenth consecutive GDCA awards.

But!

An award ceremony, three awards!

Such a proud achievement is already unprecedented, unprecedented!

After all, even if you include Yunwei and Kemera, the top international first-line manufacturers with countless studios!

There has never been a time before that has won three awards at the GDCA, one of the world's four major game shows!

And that's not all!

Because then—

“…… The 13th GDCA, among the five finalists, won the crown and won the [Best Sports Game of the Year] is——"

On the podium, the guests slowly unfolded the envelope with a smile on their faces.

There was silence in the room.

Countless flashes were prepared, and the audience waited.

Waiting for the name, which is actually beyond doubt, to be pronounced by the award presenters!

I saw the guest smile slightly and close the envelope:

“《Steep Republic》”

"Pinnacle Country"

Boom ——!!!

Suddenly, the venue was in a cheering sensation! ——
