There's really something wrong with this online game plan

Chapter 550 You are playing battle royale here! ?

Domestically, on December 12th.

morning.

nine o'clock.

the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Los Angeles theater.

The Global Game Awards officially kicked off.

[Welcome to the pre-show of the Global Game Awards, I'm March Connor... The award ceremony is about to start, I can't wait to share it with you. 】

[However, before that, let's take a look at the content of the next program. 】

[Every year we try our best to create the moments you love, responding to the loud voices from the player community...]

March Connor, producer and host of the Global Game Awards, sits in front of the camera.

Talk about it.

And with his words.

on the screen.

In last year's masterpiece, various famous scenes began to appear one by one.

Of course, the games of Linmu Studio are indispensable.

In the follow-up, there are still many glimpses of the screens of new games.

In the end, there was a cool transition in the warm-up show of the Global Game Awards, which officially opened the prelude to the awards ceremony.

Simply perfect!
This time in previous years.

The players are all excited and are looking forward to the upcoming awards ceremony...

but……

This year is a little different...

Because it was not so long ago.

Twelve hours ago.

The opening ceremony of the Linshu E-sports Festival has just ended.

At the beginning.

Many overseas players who don't pay attention to the Forest E-sports Festival don't take this event too seriously.

After all, for European and American players, the holding time is too early. Even if you decide to watch it the day before, you will choose to give up the next day because of sleepiness.

but.

The opening ceremony of the Linshu E-sports Festival plus the opening games of the four events.

long enough time...

Later, many North American players got up, either as a pastime for breakfast, or heard the news of the announcement of the sequel to "Call of Duty" from some channels.

Immediately open the live broadcast room, the opening ceremony is not over yet.

and so.

Many people thus saw the debut of the sequel to "Dark Soul"...

This is already a big surprise!
Many players were directly astonished.

Stand up on the spot.

There are still many players who don't know that the sequel of "Call of Duty" has been announced. After watching the promotional video, they immediately went to the forum to discuss the sequel of "Dark Soul".

But as soon as I opened the forum, I called him a good guy.

There are many European and American players who do not pay attention to the e-sports festival.

But more players pay attention!

The game "Breakout" has too many fans in Europe and America.

At the same time, there are many well-known teams in the two regions. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the fact that the legendary team Pajama Ninja of this project will play the opening game at the opening ceremony is enough to attract many players who like this game.

These players get up early.

After watching the extremely exciting opening ceremony of the Linshu E-sports Festival, and then watching the opening match where they played 30 rounds and entered the playoffs.

Originally, they were saddened by the defeat of the pajama ninja team they supported.

Turning around, Linmu Studio threw out the most anticipated game of this year, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"...

then.

I thought that the e-sports festival was just the players of the e-sports festival.

It is conceivable how shocked and pleasantly surprised...

Then the promotional video of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is more in line with taste.

A complete blockbuster trailer.

Stimulating the player's hormones all the time.

new role!new environment!New weapons!New enemies!
Who can stand this!

So as soon as the game promotional video was broadcast, European and American players couldn't help but went to the forum to discuss it.

Those players who got up late, saw the sequel of "Dark Soul" and ran to the forum excitedly.

Then I saw the more exciting "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" related discussions...

Don't even think about it.

These players immediately started replaying the live broadcast, rewatching the opening ceremony of the Forest E-sports Festival that they had missed.

They originally wanted to see the promotional video of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", which has not been released separately yet.

but.

Before they had time to fast-forward, at the beginning of the opening ceremony of the e-sports festival, they heard the song "We Will Rock You" that appeared at the Forest Carnival, and saw the scene of the e-sports players, the audience and the band singing passionately.

Just gave up the idea of ​​​​fast forwarding.

Completely watched the entire opening ceremony...

Therefore, although many European and American players did not get up to watch the live broadcast, but because of the sequel of "Call of Duty", there are definitely many players who watched the opening ceremony through replays.

Players who pay attention to the event of the Global Game Awards have basically seen the opening ceremony of the Forest E-sports Festival...

These people just watched the extremely brilliant opening ceremony of the Forest E-sports Festival in the morning.

Now watch the short video of the Global Game Awards...

It does feel very ordinary!

Not only is there no fluctuation in the heart.

I even thought time would go faster...

Because the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" meeting will be held in an hour...

Global Game Awards, live broadcast room.

Video finished playing...

The logo of the Global Game Awards appeared on the screen.

Then pause for a few seconds.

Live stage images appear.

Host March Connor stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and made the opening remarks.

His voice was as deep and infectious as ever.

It just looks like the smile is not very happy...

[Hi everyone, welcome to watch the Global Game Awards held in the Los Angeles Theater all over the world. I am March Connor. Are you ready to watch the exciting show? 】

"ohh..."

His voice fell.

There were scattered cheers.

This year the cheers are much smaller.

Much Connor's smile was even more forced...

He knew why, but there was nothing he could do...

The process has already been confirmed.

Lin Mu Studio came out suddenly...with only a dozen hours of reaction time left, it was completely impossible to come up with any countermeasures.

We can only bite the bullet and hold it according to the plan.

[Our biggest show ever is coming and it's exciting!]We will have a lot of news, a lot of surprises, and we will also broadcast live on more than 25 platforms around the world. 】

[I want to say hello to the audience who are watching all over the world! 】

[Hi everyone, get ready to watch the wonderful program we have prepared for you! 】

[There are many awards announced here, as well as the game promotional video that players are looking forward to, as well as many special guests. 】

【Then, let's warm up the event before starting the official program. Last year, a man...】

Madge Connor grudgingly began to speak the opening remarks, and then invited a well-known producer to the stage at the end.

And the largest live broadcast platform in Europe and America.

Players see this.

Live comment section.

"The much-anticipated game trailer? Is there a brand new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?"

"Is there a brand new trailer for Dark Souls 2?"

"If it doesn't work, the new promotional video for "Super Mario: Odyssey" will do."

"nothing?"

"Then tell me Keel!"

"..."

Ohio.

Sibron sat on the gaming chair, took a sip of beer, and watched the real-time comments.

I couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Mark... March Connor is too unlucky! It just happened to coincide with the Forest E-sports Festival, and the players have seen the three new works announced at the Forest E-sports Festival in the morning.

These include the much-anticipated "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Dark Soul 2", and there is also a model that is rarely produced by a company. In Linmu Studio's own words, it pays tribute to the old days of "Super Mario: Odyssey.

In this case, it is said that there will be a game promotional video that players are looking forward to at the award ceremony... how convincing can it be?It's too awful. "

"It's not bad luck."

next to.

Sibron's friend Mark shook his head lightly. As a game editor, he knew more about the inside story: "This is the result of joint pressure from Gilber Company. If they don't do unnecessary things, Linmu Studio's The new game broadcast will appear on the scene, and it is not too much to say that everyone is looking forward to it.

And now they have squeezed Linmu Studio out... Let's talk about the much-anticipated game. Gilber Company and Dreamland are both big companies, so it can't be said that the game is not so much-anticipated, right? "

"Then what if the player doesn't feel like looking forward to it?"

Siblon laughed: "After all, Linmu Studio's game lineup is too strong."

"Hold on."

Mark thought for a while and gave an answer.

at the same time.

The award ceremony scene.

Much Connor is really holding on...

After he said what everyone was looking forward to, there was very little reaction on the scene. The new game announced at the Forest E-sports Festival has a great impact on the Global Game Awards.

But he really can't do anything now...

He can only hold on.

A well-known producer of a certain game from last year came on stage.

Madge Connor began to greet each other, and then, as usual, prepared to announce the first award of the year-the best action game.

【Let's see which games are nominated for 'Best Action Game'】

[The games nominated by fans and judges this year are - "Di Renjie"...]

With a slightly distorted expression, March Connor read out the first nominated game.

It was "Di Renjie" by Linmu Studio last year.

"It's too miserable, it's really too miserable... It's obviously a fight with Linmu Studio, but the first award has a game from Linmu Studio."

In China, many players watched the live broadcast of the Global Game Awards on the eve of the "Call of Duty" new work meeting.

I saw the slightly weird look of the host March Connor.

Many domestic players couldn't hold back.

All smiling faces.

then.

I couldn't hold back anymore.

[The game that won the 'Best Action Game' is - "Di Renjie"]

The producer and guest opened the award letter in their hands and read out the name of the game.

It was the game "Di Renjie" by Linmu Studio last year...

March Connor was not surprised when he heard the name of the game.

I just feel very dry!
Originally, he just wanted to compensate Linmu Studio and didn't want to completely offend them, so he mentioned this award at the beginning.

The action system of "Di Renjie" is indeed excellent enough. The cold and cold weapon confrontation is eye-catching, and it can be said to be innovative.

The award is well deserved for this game.

But who would have thought that... the Forest E-sports Festival would be a big one.

Really good work...

Even more outrageous.

The representative of Linmu Studio came to accept the award, but he was still an unknown person.

The producers of Linmu Studio that players are familiar with...all at the e-sports festival and the upcoming new work meeting.

At once.

It hurts.

During the process of exchanging greetings, March Connor's expression was completely wrong.

This made domestic players feel embarrassed.

[Lin Mu Studio... seems a bit out of character. 】

【really. 】

[But there is really no way for Linmu Studio, right? 】

A few simple greetings.

March Connor sent away the staff of Forest Studio who accepted the award on his behalf, and barely cheered up.

[The first award has been announced. Before the next awards and programs start, we have prepared a lot of surprises for everyone, including the world premiere promotional video. 】

[And the game that will be announced soon is the highly anticipated new work of "Mobile Force" - let's take a look at the promotional video of this game. 】

As his words fell.

The camera rotates.

to the main stage.

On the screen, the iconic trophy of the awards ceremony appeared, and then went black for a short while.

The game screen appears.

And this time.

The players reacted.

its not right!
Why don't you play your cards according to the routine this year?

In the future, won't the game broadcasts of these big manufacturers be placed later, as the finale?

Why did it air at the beginning?

then.

Many players with quick brains looked at the time and understood.

Players who don't understand have no time to think.

The promotional video has already played.

This year, Gilbert's latest "Mobile Force" has moved the stage to modern times, and the main focus is...anti-terrorism.

Check out the entire promo.

Not to mention it is exactly the same as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

I can only say that it really looks like...

Both style.

Or character settings.

The promotional video, which lasted just a few minutes, was soon over.

The audience's reaction finally got better.

A popular work will definitely affect the industry, which is normal.

Gilber's latest "Mobile Unit" is indeed a bit like "Call of Duty".

But they have a profound background. If you say that you don't have your own things, it is a lie.

The quality of the promotional video itself is good, and the award ceremony has moved out a masterpiece from the very beginning.

It really gave the players some surprises.

So whether it's the live audience or the players on the overseas live broadcast platform, it's still a face.

……

Global Game Awards, auditorium.

front row.

Frank looked sluggish.

After a few glasses of brandy in the morning, he had great stamina. He is still a little drunk and has a splitting headache.

But he still braced himself up, after making sure that the camera wasn't pointing at him.

He took out his phone and glanced at the player's evaluation.

When I saw the latest work of "Mobile Force", the response was okay.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the best way he can think of, and that is... to advance the playback order of his own game's promotional videos.

After thinking about it, he could only do this...

Although March Connor is very dissatisfied with this.

He felt that without mentioning the price of forcibly changing the process, just moving all the blockbuster games to the front was very annoying.

fuck.

What to do after that! ?
Linmu Studio held a new game meeting, and all the heavy game promotional videos here have been broadcast. What will be used in the second half of the program to attract players?

But Frank didn't care, and couldn't.

Anyway, he must advance!

Because he can only increase the exposure of his new game by avoiding the new game meeting of Linmu Studio.

Moreover, this has another advantage, that is, it can arouse the interest of players, and there is a possibility that players will not go to the new game meeting of Linmu Studio later...

After all, it was a masterpiece from the beginning.

soon.

Accompanied by applause.

March Connor appeared on the stage again, and he still smiled reluctantly: "Just now is the promotional video of "Mobile Unit 7: Iron Nightmare", and now I am standing with the head of the game studio who made the sequel, let us welcome……"

He looked at a bald man in a plaid shirt next to him.

Started to stand and publicize the new game for Gilbert Corporation.

Then after a few pleasantries.

A new award has been announced again.

[Now we are about to announce another award, the 'Best RPG' award, the list of nominated games is as follows - "Sherlock Holmes"...]

For this award, there is still Linmu Studio.

When Madge Connor chanted the name of the game, he really wanted to sigh.

But held back.

However, it is no longer Linmu Studio who won the award this time.

It's a Japanese game.

This put March Connor in a slightly better mood.

But after greeting the award-winning producer.

His heart sank immediately.

Because it's coming again, the broadcast of the new game...

[Now, before the next awards and shows start, we have another world premiere promotional video to watch. 】

[This game is a game I've loved years ago, they contacted me and wanted to share it at the awards show, let's see it. 】

March Connorpi said with a half-smile.

Then he waved his hand perfunctorily.

The camera moves.

Aim at the stage again.

The screen lights up.

then.

The promotional video of Dreamland's new work "Smoke on the Battlefield" appeared on the screen.

They also focus on modern themes this year...they also focus on anti-terrorism and multi-regional battles.

Domestic live broadcast room.

Players see the new game trailer.

???

Not that the game is faulty.

Or how unexpected.

Mostly shocking.

Now the Global Game Awards have just begun.

Aren't these games played in the middle or at the end in previous years?

Why this year one by one, so impatient?
Just so afraid... Linmu Studio's new game meeting?

"Good guy, I call him good guy! Are you playing Battle Royale here!?"

"Isn't it a battle royale? It's almost ten o'clock..."

"Hahahaha, Lin Yao has changed the industry!"

"I was stunned... so many masterpieces were thrown out at the beginning all at once."

"Hurry up, hurry up, they're in a hurry, I'm dying of laughter, the game Battle Royale!"

"..."

In the real-time comments, domestic players wantonly ridiculed the awards ceremony.

And overseas audiences also found out.

This Gilber Company and Dreamland are cowards, right?

So the consequences of what they did will come out soon...

They did this to avoid the meeting.

But these are two masterpieces, just like playing Battle Royale, players will easily think of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" when they discuss it again.

And now... it's nearly ten o'clock.

Just 10 minutes away.

The live broadcast of Linmu Studio's meeting has also started, and the 10-minute countdown is going on.

and so.

The promotional video of Dreamland has just finished.

The popularity of the live broadcast of the Global Game Awards began to plummet.

Many players have run away...

March Connor stood aside, wearing a headset all the time, keeping in touch with the backstage staff.

The staff also told him about the changes in the data.

Much Connor was frustrated.

Although mentally prepared.

But it's really too dry...

But he couldn't help it, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only hold on to the stage.

Continue to host.

And the auditorium.

Frank glanced at Hawkins not far away.

Hawkins noticed his gaze, and the two looked at each other, but did not speak.

Frank took the time to look at the player's feedback again.

good……

Although many players ran away.

But the Global Game Awards smashed two masterpieces at the beginning, and the effect is also there.

Some players have already begun to speculate whether there will be a bigger surprise in the Global Game Awards...

It's the rhythm!

Frank looked at his phone and thought to himself.

Although Linmu Studio's new work meeting will be very attractive, the existence of the time difference is a small advantage. As long as the players can form inertia, they may stay...

But just when Frank thought so.

"Thank you, everyone. In the new year, we will bring you more good games..."

On the stage.

Won the best fighting game award, the producer of the host platform Reflecta gave a speech.

By the way, I advertised my own platform.

At the end, he even gave examples of a few games: "Such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Mobile Force 7: Iron Nightmare"..."

There were only a few minutes left before ten o'clock.

He mentioned it.

Many players who hadn't reacted immediately ran away...

Frank froze.

Then looking at the producer of the Reflecta host platform, the veins on his forehead jumped.

Almost forgot!

"Call of Duty" is available on all platforms.

And this game...according to the current popularity, it is certain that it will sell well. Although it has just been released as the second game, it can indeed influence these host platforms a little.

After all, how many copies of the game are sold, how much money can be drawn.

On the stage.

March Connor turned sideways slightly, even in front of the camera, he couldn't help covering his forehead.

He forced a smile and said congratulations.

Then send the producer away.

He didn't hide it directly, with a serious face.

Next up is a trailer for a new game.

Although still a masterpiece.

But it is purely a drawing, without revealing the gameplay, only some well-made scene diagrams.

It looks good.

But no dry goods.

If the bombing continues, players might still be able to stay.

Or lay the groundwork slowly, don't lose two masterpieces at the beginning, there will be players who stay because of expectations.

But now, the first two games are the masterpieces of Gilber Corporation and Dreamland, followed by a... painting cake.

The sense of gap came out instantly.

More viewers slipped away...

Because the new work meeting of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" opened.

The lens moves away.

Madge Connor heard the data change in the headset.

I couldn't help but hug my head.

Hey!
Don't torture me, okay...

Why are you crowding out Linmu Studio...

it's good now.

What should we do next?
at the same time.

The new game meeting of Linmu Studio has indeed opened.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lin Yao."

The meet and greet begins.

No nonsense at all.

Lin Yao held the handle and greeted the camera, and then in the small window on the other side was the start page of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".

Look at the battle.

Linmu Studio doesn't fix those fake ones at all... This is a real machine demonstration!
One side is a cake.

One side is the real machine.

How to choose?
Players vote with their feet.

"There is a demonstration of the real machine over there! Go and see it!"

Frank saw such a post on his mobile phone.

It was silent.

finally.

It's only been on for 10 minutes.

The popularity of the live broadcast of Linmu Studio's new work meeting surpassed that of the Global Game Awards...
