Chapter 317: One wears four? Invitations to the world’s four major game awards!

Chapter 317 One wears four? Invitations to the world's four major game awards!

Soon, the development work on "Two People" was put on the agenda.

After all, there is currently no content being developed for Golden Wind.

Gold Experience Studio is busy making post-production optimization adjustments and content updates for Overwatch, and Steel Fingers is busy contacting Neon Mysterious Man to prepare for the new project.

And the external aspect.

Needless to say Yunwei, Kaunike has nothing else to do every day. He only has to deal with the company's stock price with a stern face every day.

The impact of this tragic defeat was so great that he would not dare to have any additional thoughts about the Golden Wind for at least half a year. After all, he was now a clay Buddha crossing the river, and he could not save himself.

but!

It is said that when the gourd is pressed down, the gourd is lifted up.

Yunwei's side temporarily stopped, but Comella on the other side, after experiencing the disastrous failure of "Torii", regained its footing through a game similar to Sekiro.

This game called "Night Owl" is also set in the Warring States Period, with the struggle between the two major forces Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu as the background. It incorporates the strange elements of neon monsters through magic modification, referring to Based on the Romance of the Gods of China, we created a samurai protagonist who kept his loyalty in troubled times, and used him as the starting point to lead to the battle between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, Komaki Nagakute.

The overall model of the game is based on Sekiro, but it continues the industrial level that Torii is recognized for.

Although in terms of action design, "Night Owl" is still no match for "Sekiro" with the blessing of action assistance system.

But in terms of playability and rich content of the game, it has far exceeded the failed "Torii".

Even the well-known evaluation media SNG (Neon) said with regret after giving it a score of 9.1 - If Night Owl and Sekiro were competing on the same stage, then even if Comella failed, it would not be as good as before. In that way, it will collapse thousands of miles. But the question is, if there is no wolf, where would the night owl come from? Maybe it’s time for Comella to humbly ask for advice and learn from Gu Sheng, the most dazzling supernova designer in the world today...

Of course!

No matter what the media says.

Night Owl's success undoubtedly gave Comella a breath of relief, which had been plagued by failures.

This time, Masaichi Nakamura, who produced Night Owl, was naturally promoted to fill the vacancy of Koizumi Studio and became one of the new heads of Gosanjia Peak Studio after Nishikawa.

That’s it!

The original three well-established companies—Yamamoto, Koizumi, and Takasugi.

In just one and a half years, two of them have been eliminated.

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

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

The only "old man" left is Takasugi Studio, headed by Isao Takasugi.

In fact, at this point, the position of "head of the three imperial families" that once fascinated both Yamamoto and Koizumi is within easy reach for Takasugi.

But Takasugi didn’t want it.

He thought it was unlucky.

Moreover, Takasugi Studio has always been responsible for the development of Comela somatosensory racing games.

Although racing is also one of the three major categories of gun racing, it accounts for the smallest proportion among the three major categories.

His target studio has always been China’s Fury Games.

As for the golden wind...

 Takasugi really can't raise any hostility, and even because of Moritani's relationship, he has three respects for this supernova designer Gu Sheng who was born in China.

“...So let’s leave it to the younger generations to fight for the head of the three imperial families. I will just be an ordinary director in a down-to-earth manner. It’s quite good.”

In the office, Gao Shan chatted with his deputy and said with a smile:

“Furthermore, I think Nakamura, who was recently recruited as a replacement, is very interested.”

"indeed,"

Hearing this, the deputy nodded and filled the teacup:

“Nakamura has been very close to the president recently. After all, we have just reversed the decline with Night Owl and stabilized our position. It is said that we are applying for the development permission for the sequel to Silent Hill.”

"silent Hill?"

Hearing this, Gao Shan's hands trembled and he almost spilled his tea, grinning.

Hin said that the misfortune of Comora began in Silent Hill.

If it weren't for that idiot Yamamoto Tsuna who persuaded Koshikomasa to pocket all the "development proceeds" of Silent Hill and kick out the Golden Wind.

There will be no conflict between them and the golden wind.

Without any conflicts, Gu Sheng’s version of Silent Hill can dominate the market with the same attitude as the original “Escape”.

After that, through further close cooperation, the two parties can join hands to step out of Asia and launch an impact on Yunwei-Vivendi, which is standing on top of the world.

You must know that "Overwatch" produced by Golden Wind alone has severely damaged the arrogant Yunwei, and they still have not recovered from this.

If it were really possible for Golden Wind to cooperate with Comella.

 It won’t take too long, at least two or three years, before Comella and Yunwei can truly keep pace with each other, and truly achieve two worlds in the global game industry and compete with each other.

pity.

All of this was cut off by the short-sighted Yamamoto Tsuna and the Kamegoshi Kagemasa who only cared about immediate interests.

It can be said.

Comella’s misfortune began with “Silent Hill”.

Now, Nakamura, who has just been promoted to one of the three royal families, is still bringing up old matters and preparing to develop a sequel to "Silent Hill"?

“Because there are recent rumors that Golden Wind is working on fighting for the copyright of a horror game,”

The deputy said:

“And it is said that the current progress is quite smooth. If nothing else happens, this work should be the work that Golden Wind prepares for the E3 game exhibition at the end of September this year.”

——

As soon as these words came out, Gao Shan suddenly understood.

yes.

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

The pace of the golden wind will never stop.

 And the project they are currently in contact with, based on the development time, is likely to be an important project for Golden Wind to participate in E3.

Obviously, Nakamura is also aware of this.

So with the success of "Night Owl", he is ready to launch "Silent Hill", a once-failed IP, and set out to start a new round of showdown with the Golden Wind.

“The idea is good, but Golden Wind is no longer the small company that could be manipulated by others,”

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

“Even Yunwei now regards it as a thorn in his side. It’s not that easy to take advantage of the current golden wind.”

“What’s more, have they been shortlisted for GDCA recently…”

GDCA!

Global Game Developers Conference Choice Award. As one of the four major game awards in the world, GDCA is one of the super awards in the global game industry selected by the GDC (Global Game Developers Conference) organizing committee through comprehensive indicators such as gameplay, number of players, and media feedback. one.

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

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

Golden Wind, which has now ranked among the mid-sized game manufacturers, naturally became one of the invited manufacturers of GDCA.

However, due to the original release date of Sekiro, it happened to be in the range where Golden Wind became a mid-sized game manufacturer and the GDC organizing committee confirmed Golden Wind’s qualifications.

So for this award, the only games shortlisted by Golden Wind are "Apex Kingdom" and "Overwatch".

But these two games are a bit embarrassing.

It can even be said that if "Sekiro" is participating, then there is no doubt that the best game of the year at GDCA this year will definitely be Sekiro, which has both player reputation and media ratings.

But the problem is that the two games currently participating in the competition are "Apex Kingdom" and "Overwatch".

These two games have a very fatal and embarrassing problem—

There is no plot.

The plot mentioned here refers to the main plot advancement like Sekiro, rather than the Overwatch-style background story.

You need to know!

Whether it is GDCA or DICE, or Golden Joystick and TGA.

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

A game story with closely connected plots, interlocking links, ups and downs, and hidden deep ideological core is a super bonus in the award scoring process.

This is the fundamental reason why if Sekiro participates, it will definitely win the Best of the Year this year.

Because "Sekiro" is at the top of the game industry today in terms of visual expression, technical presentation, and richness of the story.

Don’t talk about this year, just push it back five years.

There are only a handful of works that can compete with the level of games like Sekiro.

‘…In addition, Apex Kingdom is a niche game type that is not popular, so it’s really hard to say what the Golden Wind award will be this year’

At this moment!

In the venue, the lights are bright!

 Located in Hall 1 of Sydney’s St. Bonny International Convention and Exhibition Center, there are no seats left!

The clicking flash lights decorated the scene into a sea of twinkling stars.

The various games and promotional videos on the field were dazzling, and the atmosphere was lively!

At the same time, in the live broadcast screen, the barrages were also coming one after another, it was so lively!

It can be seen that the players are paying a lot of attention to the Golden Wind, which was shortlisted for the first time in the selection conference -

‘Is there hope for Overwatch? ’

‘It’s hard to say, after all, it is a battle online game’

‘There has never been an online game with multiplayer online battles in history that won the annual choice award, right? ’

‘No, almost most of them are independent games. The only multiplayer game that won the annual selection was "McFootball" seven or eight years ago. It was still a cooperative online game, not an online game.'

‘Xiao Huang, these two games are so embarrassing. If a wolf comes, I will be killed by them...'

‘But it doesn’t matter, even if there is no annual selection, it would be good to win the first category award’

‘The top country in the sports category should be gone, right? ’

“It’s absolutely certain, given its influence, player enthusiasm and media ratings, Apex Kingdom can definitely win a category jackpot”

‘Where’s the watch? ’

‘Overwatch…most likely it will be the [Best Multiplayer Online Battle Online Game Award]’

‘Hahahahahaha God’s **** death list’

‘That’s right, the games that have been shortlisted for this [Best Multiplayer Online Battle Game Award] have never been selected for the annual selection’

‘That’s okay, it’s awesome enough for a company to win two category awards...’

‘…’

And with the discussion of the audience!

The 13th GDCA Development Conference Selection Award Ceremony also officially opened!

First of all, under the introduction of the host, the two organizer representatives came to the stage to speak and expressed their most sincere thanks to all the developer representatives, audience and media representatives who came to the scene.

Afterwards, after a delightful live symphony performance, the awards ceremony began.

Best Narrative, Best Art Direction, Best Music and Soundtrack, Best Sound Design, Best Performance...awards were awarded one after another.

There are somatosensory cabin platforms and PC platforms.

And in this!

What surprised the audience the most was that Golden Wind actually won two awards in these categories of game composition awards!

They are the [Best Game Director Award-Gu Sheng] and the [Best Music and Soundtrack Award-Peak Kingdom]!

After Gu Sheng took the stage again and won the [Best Multiplayer Online Battle Game Award - Overwatch], the cheers of the whole audience reached a climax!

The award ceremony is just over halfway!

Golden Wind has actually won three awards!

Some viewers even joked, "Gu Sheng actually doesn't have to step off the stage. He can just stand at the waiting area and wait for his name to be called on."

Although!

As "Overwatch" has entered the so-called "death list" as all viewers expected, it has become the winner of the 13th consecutive GDCA awards ceremony. It has never and is almost impossible to touch the top spot of the annual choice award. Best online games.

but!

An awards ceremony, three awards won!

Such an impressive achievement is unprecedented and unprecedented!

After all, even top international companies such as Yunwei and Comela are included, with numerous studios under their banners!

 It has never been possible for anyone to win three awards at the same time at GDCA, one of the four major game shows in the world!

And this is not over yet!

Because next—

“…In the 13th GDCA, among the five shortlisted games, the winner was the [Best Sports Game of the Year]—”

On the award podium, the guests slowly opened their envelopes with smiles on their faces.

There was silence in the venue.

Countless flash lights are ready, and the audience is waiting.

Waiting for the name that is actually beyond doubt to be read out by the award-winning guest!

Seeing the guest smile slightly, he closed the envelope:

«

«

Boom—! !

In an instant, the venue was filled with cheers and commotion! —
