Chapter 146 Award Winning Situation
This year is a small year in the game industry, and there are no works with sales of over [-] million.

"Arad Story 2" is basically the global sales champion this year.

"Allard Story 2" was well received and well received. Coupled with the strong background of Penguin, it was originally a favorite to sweep all major awards.

However, the latest generation of "Brothers in Band of Brothers" under the AE company was born, which suddenly made the award-winning situation of "Arad Story 2" less optimistic.

The average sales volume of the previous works of "Band of Brothers" reached 8500 million sets, and the highest-selling one "Brothers of Fury" reached 1.3 million!
It can be said that "Band of Brothers" is one of AE's top products!

As the latest generation of AE's flagship product Band of Brothers series, the sales volume of "Brothers in Rose" is only more than 5000 million sets.

For other games, 5000 million sets is undoubtedly a terrifying number.

But for the big IP of Band of Brothers, 5000 million sets is undoubtedly a hit.

Although the sales volume is mediocre and the word-of-mouth among players is not as good as previous generations, "Brothers in Roses" has become an award-winning ace game that sweeps all major awards.

"Brothers in Roses" is a World War II-themed shooting game, and boldly uses a black woman as the protagonist of the game, and this black woman of African immigrant descent is even a disabled person.

Rush to the battlefield wearing prosthetics!

Disabled black female staged an anti-German drama!
This bold move has caused a lot of controversy among players, with many players saying it's all bullshit.

Isn't it nonsense that a World War II game uses a disabled black woman as the protagonist!

Perhaps because of the protagonist, the sales of this generation of "Rose Brothers" are not good. Many players complained on the Internet that the AE company is messing around, and the protagonist is not as attractive as before.

But boldly using black women as the protagonists has also earned a good reputation for "Brothers in Roses".

Especially mainstream media fame.

Many media journalists and social celebrities praised EA's actions: what promotes the status of women, what calls for equality of skin color, what pays attention to the living environment of immigrants...

All in all, the media evaluations of "Brothers in Roses" are all above 9 points.

And as long as "Rose Brothers" participates in the game awards, then "Rose Brothers" will undoubtedly become the biggest winner.

After all, it is the annual masterpiece of AE company, "Brothers in Roses" has a very high game quality, even if it is criticized by many players on the Internet, it cannot conceal the fact that "Brothers in Roses" itself is a high-quality game.

The quality of the game itself is good, coupled with the high praise from the mainstream media, it is not surprising that "Brothers in Roses" can sweep all the awards.

On the Penguin side, they had great expectations for the Golden Controller Award for "Arad Story 2".

But now, Penguin also realizes that the situation is not optimistic and has made adjustments.

The gold award of "Arad Story 2" is basically hopeless. While winning one or two sub-category awards, it will also hit the silver handle award. This is the adjusted goal of Penguin.

……

Back in Feimeng, Liu Xiong announced to everyone his plan to launch Neil's Automata.

Although Neil has been completed now, Liu Xiong is not in a hurry to go public.

First of all, Liu Xiong arranged for Xiaokui Xiaolin to be responsible for gradually releasing information about Neil's Automata on the official website and various media.

Gradually release some posters, videos, guides, and backgrounds to warm up the game.

Then, Liu Xiong asked Ye Shen: "The settings and novels about Neil are almost ready to be published. These background novels will be posted on the official website first, and then reposted on various forums."

After hearing this, Ye Shen said happily: "Ha, it's finally ready to be released!"

"I wrote hundreds of thousands of words on a single computer, and I have been saving the manuscript, without publishing, clicking, or commenting. It is really difficult."

Liu Xiong encouraged Ye Shen and said: "Well, I know that writing a book on a single computer is very lonely and hard."

"Especially if you save manuscripts on a single machine, there are no recommendation tickets, no rewards, no comments, no chapters, no monthly tickets, no subscriptions, and no full attendance..."

"It's hard work for you this time, but your work is of great significance to our game!"

"If Nier Automata can achieve a self-breakthrough in the Flying Dream game, then you must be the master!"

Is the night god the greatest hero of Neil's Automata?
Is it the number one helper for Feimeng's self-breakthrough?

Liu Xiong was not sure.

But even if it's bragging, it's what Liu Xiong, the boss, should do to encourage the employees.

Sure enough, after Liu Xiong's fooling around, Ye Shen's eyes were shining!
After arranging for Ye Shen to gradually release Neil's novels, Liu Xiong announced his plan to everyone.

"There used to be some organizing committees for small game awards that invited me to participate, but because I don't care about fame, I turned them down."

"However, I am very interested in such a global authoritative award as the Golden Handle Award."

"There is still half a month until the selection of the Golden Handle Award. I plan to let Neil go public after participating in the Golden Handle Award."

"The half-month period is just right for netizens to digest Neil's background setting, get familiar with Neil's information, and let them have more expectations for the game."

"and."

Liu Xiong showed an optimistic smile.

"If our game can win the award at the Golden Handle Award Ceremony, it will definitely be very helpful to the market sales of our game."

Hi Gou showed a hesitant expression at this time, "But..."

Liu Xiong understood the meaning of hi dog, nodded, and said relaxedly: "I know, because of political correctness, "Brothers in Roses" is almost certain to win the Golden Handle Award."

"Of course, I'm not blacking out on "Brothers in Roses". It's indeed a good game, worthy of the Golden Handle Award."

"But our Nier Automata is not bad, right?"

"I can't win the Golden Handle Award, but I still have a chance to hit the sub-categories."

"To be fair, Neil's music and plot in Automata are very good, and these two happen to be the weakness of Band of Roses."

"It's not too much to take the best composition, or the best plot."

Deciding to participate in the Golden Handle Award is something to look forward to.

Xiao Lin said excitedly: "Then boss, we have to hurry up and send Neil's Automata to the organizing committee, so that the judges can play first."

"After all, time is running out!"

Liu Xiong nodded.

"I contacted the organizing committee of the Golden Handle Awards before, and we, Feimeng, can provide two works for participation."
