This year marks the first Tokyo Game Show.

As early as two months ago, at the Tokyo Toy Fair, many people found out that they were greasy-

In the past, there were many games from game manufacturers, game equipment, and game peripherals from game manufacturers.

This time it's very weird, except for Sega and Ren Heaven, and a few small game factory games, you can hardly see anything else.

And this weirdness was solved at the Tokyo Game Show in September.

Because people's video games are not willing to be subordinated to the category of toys, they now want to be independent portals.

So this time, the Tokyo Game Show was extremely popular, and the number of players participating was not only from the neon area, but also from all over the country.

The total number exceeded 110,000 in a single day.

The organizer of the entertainment club did not expect that there would be such an unprecedented grand occasion, and the number of people in line had been lined up from the exhibition hall to the outside, and there was no end in sight.

Almost every game booth was packed, making it difficult to move around.

This is beyond the usual situation of waiting for a roller coaster in Disney, and some people even can't experience their favorite game after waiting in line for 5 or 6 hours.

And in this case, Pokeni's side seems unusually deserted.

It's an alternative to the whole game show, and it looks so out of place.

It's just that Pokeni's booth is small, and there is only one new game.

"I didn't expect Pokeni to bring only one game."

"And it's a galgame."

Although P Club started with galgame, there are still relatively few players who like galgame.

But that doesn't mean there aren't people coming to the game.

After all, P Society is a god in the galgame field.

There are a lot of precipitated fan groups.

So, compared to other exhibition areas, Pokeni is a little deserted, but there are still many players who are willing to experience this new game called "To the Moon".

Each player only has 5 minutes to experience it, and it's impossible to get what the game is about.

Especially in the early narrative mode, it will only confuse players.

"What does this game mean?"

"I thought there would be some important foreshadowing of the crash at the beginning, but what happened later didn't seem to have anything to do with the hero and heroine."

Players think that the male and female doctors of the first two research institutes are the main characters.

But in fact, the protagonist is old John, who is lying in bed and dying today.

Who would have thought that a dying old man would be the protagonist of the story.

And after wandering around for a long time, I didn't find the clues, many players played here, and the time was almost up, and they even felt a little bored in the clouds.

It's a little comforting that-

This galgame, called "To the Moon", has the same fantastic fairy tale style as the previous "Quilt Man", coupled with beautiful music, which makes people's souls feel soothed.

But that's about it.

If you want to have fun in such a short time, it's really a bit difficult to "To the Moon"

……

All in all, the first Tokyo Game Show was a great success.

But pokeni is a failure.

……

After the four-day Tokyo Game Show, many players have already started discussing it on the official forum of Pokeni.

[None, did anyone go to this year's Tokyo Game Show, and did Pokeni exhibit any new game works this time?]

Can anyone who knows tell us about that? 】

"I haven't been there yet, but I'm really looking forward to it. 】

[Ah, what kind of work can my favorite pokeni exhibit at the exhibition?] 】

[I remember last year's Chicago Consumer Electronics Show, Pokeni brought "Diablo 2", right? 】

[Well, last year, Pokeni could shine in Europe and the United States, and just one Diablo 2 was enough to cause a sensation. 】

Not only did Pokeni show Diablo 2 at the Chicago Electronics Show last year, but the game sold over 3 million copies in Europe and the United States when it was released earlier this year.

At the same time, Qingzhiyuan also met Breivik at the Chicago Consumer Electronics Show and acquired the Condor company.

So this time, although pokeni did not go to the new E3 electronics exhibition in the United States, it actually attracted much attention and expectation on TGS.

This is especially true for fans of P Company.

Those who didn't have the opportunity to go to the scene expressed great regret that they couldn't see the new work of P Club this year.

But it is a pity to go to the scene.

[Hey, don't mention it, I'm the one who went to this year's Tokyo Game Show and experienced Pokeni's new game.] Finally a guy who came to the scene posted a post below.

In this post, the player from Hokkaido said:

[All I can say is that you are right not to go to the scene.

Because P Company only provided a trial of a new game this year, I was very impressed, called "To the Moon"

It's a galgame that everyone can try for 5 minutes.

The 5-minute process doesn't really mean anything.

I'll just talk a little bit about the part I played.

Actually, there are no spoilers, because I was confused for the past 5 minutes.

At first, two doctors, a man and a woman in white research coats, came to the front of a house and accidentally hit a tree with their car.

A squirrel was also killed.

I thought this squirrel might cause a disaster or something, but judging from the rest of the content, it doesn't seem to be this setting.

There was an old man in the house who was dying, and the male and female doctors came here to enter his memory and fulfill the old man's wish.

However, the next thing to look for clues and plots is that I'm almost gone here.

In short, in the clouds, I didn't play anything.

My personal assessment is -

The art style of the game is very good.,It's the type of "Quilt Man" that I liked very much before.。

The music is also very beautiful.

The whole game is very bland.

At least from the early stage.

Entering the memory modification,It may be a good and interesting point.,There's something else in the part that I didn't play in the back.,I'm not going to judge it.。

However, from an objective point of view, the art style and music of this game are good, and the plot is slow to heat, so you have to finish playing to know if it's a good game.

However, in terms of expressiveness and playability, there is still a gap between me and other games I have experienced in the field.

Well, that's probably the case.

Oh yes, one more thing to add.

The producer of "To the Moon" is Mika Ishino.

It's the same as "The Man in the Bed".

So there are a lot of similarities in the style of painting and the music effect.

Maybe with Mika Ishino's fame, this game is worth looking forward to. 】

This guy is actually very objective.,After all, it's a galgame.,Especially the plot-oriented galgame.,It takes time to experience.。

"To the Moon" is the best of these games.

If you don't make it to the end, you'll feel a little bit after playing the whole game.

Because it's slow to heat and it's a puzzle-solving game, you need to peel back layer by layer.

Even if it's CL or the quilt man, there are a lot of bursts and tears in the early stage, and "To the Moon" is equivalent to inflating the balloon, and you have to keep pumping it until the moment it finally bursts, and you will experience how beautiful it is.

"Huh? Is that really the case? I was looking forward to Pokeni's new game, but when you said that, I was a little afraid to start. ”

"The guy upstairs has already said quite objectively, I am also a player who participated in this Tokyo Game Show, and my personal experience is similar to his.

But well, galgame is like this, it needs to be foreshadowed by the plot, and it's hard to make an evaluation in 5 minutes. ”

"But, I like "Quilt Man" very much, if it's the producer of Mika Ishino, it should be worth getting, right?"

"Mm-hmm, it's possible."

……

"To the Moon" has not yet been released, and there is not even a warm-up, but after this Tokyo Game Show, the evaluation of players has cast a heavy fog over the game.

With such a loss of popularity.

But overall it's negative.

One is that Pokeni is not sincere, and the other is that the game "To the Moon" simply can't hold up and is not suitable for exhibition at the Tokyo Game Show.

"I think this time it must be a mistake of P Society, choosing galgame to participate in the exhibition, in fact, there are naturally certain disadvantages." A player named [Furuhara Tsubaki Unbelievable] said:

"What galgame needs is foreshadowing and revealing the truth that explodes like a bomb, or the back-and-forth reversal of the plot, and a lot of plot advancement in order to build characters, and these actually take time to experience.

The time it was on display at the Tokyo Game Show was too short. ”

"Yes, President Qing Zhiyuan really made a mistake, if this time P Society took out Diablo 3 on TGS, or Pokémon 3D, or the sequel to the witcher, these games will be much better than galgame in terms of expression and first impression."

"That is, if I were Qing Zhiyuan, I would definitely put the most important and heavyweight games on the exhibition."

"Is there a possibility that President Seijiyuan wants to put those games with stronger gameplay and allow players to experience the core gameplay at the first time to be exhibited in the future to maintain some mystery?"

Qing Zhiyuan said that you know a fart.

If I had a game with strong gameplay and expressiveness, would I not be able to put it on the Tokyo Game Show?

……

Fortunately, the OVA of Kyoto Animation's "Quilt Man" was released in September, which slightly saved a wave of decline for "To the Moon".

In the OVA of "The Man in the Quilt", Kyoto Animation made a rather sweet story -

The quilt is still the quilt, and it is very conspicuous in the crowd with the quilt, and it is so hot that it sweats in the summer.

The hedgehog is also the hedgehog that pierces people.

In the OVA, there are also many interesting and funny, but extremely heartwarming stories around the daily life of these [special abilities] of both sides and some new [aphasias].

With a total duration of 1 hour, it is already a very sincere work, comparable to an animated movie.

I have to say that the production level of Kyoto Animation is really improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the anime produced by Kyoto Animation a few years ago was quite rough, and the only thing that is commendable is that they do a good job of storyboarding.

And now, in the OVA of "The Man in the Bed", Kyoto Animation shows a delicate and beautiful picture quality, many of the sub-shots can be called textbook-level, beautiful and moving, plus the dreamy fairy tale style of "The Man in the Bed", giving people a super visual enjoyment.

It even made many viewers feel that this OVA is no worse than some animated movies.

And in this OVA, the two people really came together, and they didn't care and were afraid of the eyes of others.

In the last part of the animation, the two of them sat under the moonlight and contributed a sweet kiss, which made countless viewers exclaim "No regrets in this life".

After watching the OVA of "The Man in the Bed", many players ran to the bottom of the "Man in the Bed" section of pokeni to make a wish:

"Wow, that's sweet, do you see that? The latest OVA released by Kyoto Animation? ”

"After watching it, the last scene really made me laugh. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this ending. ”

"Ah, it's thanks to Kyoto Animation that made our dream come true, otherwise according to the inertia of P Society, they wouldn't have been able to make such a happy ending."

"It's just that the last scene is really sweet, the big moonlight, the quilt and the hedgehog, it's really like a fairy tale."

"Mmmm, I'm satisfied, seeing this ending, I really have no regrets in this life."

"By the way, have you ever wondered if the moon in the sky in this last scene has something to do with Pokeni's new game?"

"Huh? Not to mention, it's really possible. The new game is called "To the Moon", and in the last scene of the nest man, the two people are sitting in the moonlight, looking up at the moon.

This should be regarded as an easter egg planted by P Company through Kyoto Animation, right? ”

"Is it possible, could it be said that "To the Moon" is a follow-up story to "The Man in the Bed"?"

"Well, it shouldn't be likely, because the heroes and heroines who went to the moon have English names."

"Hey, that's weird."

"But no matter what, there must be some intrinsic connection."

"They are all producers, they all have the same style and music, and they all have moonlight, and I want to get "To the Moon" a little bit now."

"I think it's okay, you can not believe in Furuhara Tsubaki, or you can not believe in Void Abyss, but you can't believe in Mika Ishino.

At least judging by the games made by Mika Ishino in recent years......

Mika Ishino is the kindest of the many producers in the P Society.

Although "The Man in the Bed" stabbed half of the people, at least the hero and heroine had a good perfect ending in the end, although they failed to become normal people, but you can't say that this is not an alternative beauty.

As for "CLANNAD" and "LIFE-LINE", where Mika Ishino is the main curator......

emmm……

I didn't say it. ”

"Poof...... This sharp turn upstairs is really catching people off guard. ”

……

Regarding the comments of the players, Qing Zhiyuan had expected it for a long time, and he was not panicked at all.

At least the OVA of "The Man in the Bed" pulled back the unfavorable decline.

After that, the results of "To the Moon" will depend on how well the publicity and distribution are done.

He still has a lot of faith in the game itself.

It's a game you either haven't played before, and if you do, you can't give a low score.
