Chapter 317 One Wears Four? Invitations to the World's Four Major Game Awards!

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

After all, Wind of Gold doesn't have a single piece of content in development right now.

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

And the external aspect.

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

The impact of this tragic defeat was so great that for at least half a year, he no longer dared to have any additional thoughts about the Golden Wind. After all, he was now a clay bodhisattva 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 fiasco of "Torii", regained its footing through a game similar to Sekiro.

This game called "Night Owl" is also set in the Warring States Period. It is based on the struggle between the two major forces, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. It uses magic modification to integrate the strange elements of neon monsters. 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.

In terms of the overall mode of the game, it refers to a wolf, but it continues the only industrial level of Torii that is affirmed by people.

Although at the level of motion design, "Night Owl" is still not the opponent of "Sekiro" with the blessing of motion assistance system.

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

Even the well-known evaluation media SNG (Neon) said with regret after giving it a score of 9.1 - if Night Owl and Sekiro had competed on the same stage, then even if Comella failed, it would not be as good as It was like that at the beginning, and it collapsed thousands of miles. But the question is, if there is no wolf, where will the night owl come from? Maybe it's really time for Ke Meila to humbly ask for advice and learn from Gu Sheng, the world's most dazzling supernova designer...

Of course!

No matter what the media says.

Ye Xiao's success undoubtedly relieved Ke Meila, who had always been troubled by failure.

This time, Masaichi Nakamura, who produced Night Owl, was naturally promoted to fill the vacancy in Koizumi's studio, and became one of the new heads of Yusanjia Peak Studio after Xichuan.

That’s it!

The original old three royal family - Yamamoto, Koizumi, Takasugi.

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

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

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

The only 'old man' left is Takasugi Studio, headed by Takasugi Suke.

In fact, at this point, the position of "the head of the three imperial families" that Yamamoto and Koizumi were obsessed with is now within 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 is the smallest among the three categories.

His target studio has always been Hua Guo’s Fury Games.

As for the golden wind...

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

"...So let's leave the head of the three imperial families to their descendants to fight for. 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:

"Besides, I think Nakamura, who was recently recruited as a replacement, is very interested."

"indeed,"

Hearing this, the deputy nodded and filled the teacup:

"Recently, Nakamura and the president have gotten very close. After all, they just used a Night Owl to save the situation and stabilize their position. It is said that they are applying for the development permission of the sequel to "Silent Hill."

"silent Hill?"

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

The heart says that Comora's misfortune began in Silent Hill.

If it hadn't been for that idiot Yamamoto Tsuna who persuaded Koshi Keimasa 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.

If there is no dispute, Gu Sheng's version of Silent Hill will be able to dominate the market with the same attitude as "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 know, the "Watching Pioneer" produced by Golden Wind alone has dealt a severe blow to Yunwei, who is invincible, and they have not recovered from this breath until now.

If it were true that Golden Wind and Comella would cooperate.

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.

pity.

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

It can be said.

Comella's misfortune began with "Silent Hill".

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

"Because there have been rumors recently that Golden Wind is 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 Golden Wind's work to prepare for the E3 game exhibition at the end of September this year."

hiss--

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

yes.

Nowadays, Golden Wind 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 pace of the golden wind will not stop.

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

Obviously, Nakamura is also aware of this.

So, taking advantage of the success of "Night Owl", he is going to launch the failed IP of "Silent Hill" again, step down from the ring, and start a new round of duel with Golden Wind.

"The idea is good, but Golden Wind is no longer the small company that was manipulated by others,"

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

"Even Yunwei now regards him as a thorn in his side. It's not that easy to conquer 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 Organizing Committee of GDC (Global Game Developers Conference) based on comprehensive indicators such as gameplay, number of players, and media feedback. one.

It 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.

then!

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

However, because the release date of Sekiro was exactly in the range where Golden Wind became a medium-sized game manufacturer and the GDC Organizing Committee confirmed the qualification for Golden Wind.

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

But these two games are a bit embarrassing.

It can even be said that if "Sekiro" enters the competition, there is no doubt that this year's GDCA's best game of the year is definitely Sekiro with both player reputation and media ratings.

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

Both games have a very fatal and embarrassing problem——

There is no plot.

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

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 a closely connected plot, interlocking, ups and downs, and hidden deep thought core is a super bonus item in the award scoring process.

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

Because "Sekiro" is a top-notch existence in the game industry today, whether it is in terms of screen expression, technical presentation, or the fullness of the story.

Not to mention this year, just go back five years.

There are only a handful of works that can compete with a game of Sekiro's caliber.

‘…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.’

now!

In the venue, the lights are bright!

Located in Hall 1 of the St. Bonny International Convention and Exhibition Center in Sydney, all seats are packed!

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

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

At the same time, the live broadcast screen was filled with barrages one after another. It was so lively!

It can be seen that players are paying a lot of attention to 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’s an online battle game’

‘No online game with multiplayer online battles in history has ever 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 kill them all...'

'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 sports should be gone, right? '

‘It’s absolutely certain, given the influence, player enthusiasm and media ratings, Peak Nation will definitely win a category first prize’

‘Where’s the watch? '

‘Watching... is most likely the [Best Multiplayer Online Battle Online Game Award]’

‘Death List’

‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha God’s fucking 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. One company winning two category awards is already awesome enough...'

‘…’

And as the audience discusses!

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 given out one after another.

Among them, 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 [Best Game Director Award-Gu Sheng] and [Best Music and Soundtrack Award-Peak Kingdom]!

And 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 awards 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, which have countless studios under their banners, are included!

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 one that won the crown and won the [Best Sports Game of the Year] was——"

On the awards stage, the guests slowly opened their envelopes with smiles on their faces.

There was silence in the venue.

Countless flashlights were prepared, and the audience was waiting.

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

The guest smiled slightly and closed the envelope:

"Steep Republic"

""Peak Kingdom""

boom--! ! !

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