A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

As we all know, judges generally do not participate in the competition in person.

If they are in the same field, at least in theory the judges' level and status are higher than the person being awarded.

As the first Electronic Arts Award, no one is more suitable than Lin Mo.

And standing on the stage as an award presenter is basically announcing one thing.

Naughty cat game, will not participate in the competition!

This adds a lot of suspense to the show.

This has once again made many of the awards that were not very interesting to watch become full of suspense.

At the same time, live broadcast rooms in various places have also launched some viewing activities, with no threshold to guess who the winners of various awards will be.

Those who guess correctly will have a chance to win a gift from the organizer - a CDK or prop gift of the winning game.

After the award ceremony officially begins, some small awards will be presented by official hosts. After several insignificant small awards are presented, the first heavyweight award is produced, but it is completely different from the WGA award.

Lin Mo looked at the card and announced loudly: "The winner of the Best Mobile Game of the Year Award is - "Stars and Flowers"! Congratulations!"

After announcing the award, the award presenter gave a short review of the game lasting about fifteen seconds. Then he picked up the trophy for the project and handed it to the producer, who looked flushed, a little nervous, and even at a loss.

[Naughty Cat Game really didn’t accept the award, interesting, if there is no Star Iron, this game really deserves this award]

[Although I am a die-hard fan of Naughty Cat, I have to say that the award ceremony became more interesting after Naughty Cat stopped participating]

[I won the prize!! Haha, I want to see why this game deserves this award]

【He doesn’t want it anymore! 】

[I'm going to buy a copy and watch this promotional video and Lin Mo's professional comments. It seems quite interesting.]

On the stage.

Producer Fudi, who accepted the award on behalf of the company, took a deep breath, held the trophy and gave his speech into the microphone.

“I am an independent game producer from outside China. I was able to have my own team thanks to the support plan of Naughty Cat. I would like to thank Mr. Lin Mo in advance.

He is not only my idol but also my benefactor. Without Naughty Cat, there would be no game "Stars and Flowers".

Lin Mo was stunned when he heard it, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, but it was still captured by countless viewers in front of the screen.

Because the director was very clever and took a close-up of the face.

[It’s so funny, Lin Mo himself probably doesn’t even know how many small and medium-sized game companies have been helped by Naughty Cat’s support plan]

[Is this considered a teacher awarding a prize to a student? The teacher is actually not even older than the student.]

[Oh my god! I just found out about this too. I’m a die-hard fan of “Stars and Flowers”. Thanks to Naughty Cat]

[It would be a shame if a game company like Naughty Cat, which is generous and cares about the industry, were to perish due to the ban by the two major console manufacturers]

".Finally, I would like to thank the Mobile Game of the Year Award again, thank Naughty Cat and Mr. Lin Mo. I really like the game "Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway" and I am looking forward to the new version of Pinocchio's story."

Lin Mo listened and laughed. Is it okay to ask for more updates on the spot? Do you want to improvise a song "Sleepless Night" on the spot?

But this is just a thought.

After the award was presented, Lin Mo temporarily left the stage and began playing a promotional video for the mobile game.

Where there are surprises there are regrets. The quality of the game promoted this time is still not as good as that on WGA.

The next few important awards were almost all presented by Lin Mo himself.

"The winner of the Best Narrative Award of the Year is - "Returning Tide"! Congratulations!"

"The winner of the Best Visual Art Award is - Age of Steam! Congratulations!"

"The winner of the Best Sustained Operation Award is - Edge! Congratulations!"

"The winner of the Best Action Adventure Game of the Year Award is Back to the Future! Congratulations!"

Many award ceremonies feature gaming awards with similar names.

However, with the exception of the Electronic Arts Prize, these awards were given to Naughty Cat's games at other ceremonies.

They are Detroit: Become Human, which won the Best Narrative Award of the Year; Cyberpunk 2077, which won the Best Visual Effects Award of the Year; Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, which won the Best Ongoing Operation Award of the Year; and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which won the Best Action-Adventure Award of the Year.

At Jupyter Electronics, West watched the awards being presented one by one while leisurely drinking red wine. He sighed and said, "Naughty Cat, no matter how good you are, you are still just a game company. You can only save yourself in this incompetent way. What's the point of you and the Electronic Arts Awards winning people's hearts in this way?"

Whoosh, Ito Makoto looked at the screen with a smile on his face as he saw the award winners blushing with excitement.

I thought, if it is just like that, then you, Naughty Cat, are simply courting death by refusing PlaySquare's request for an exclusive game.

In another month, when I make another request for exclusivity, Mr. Lin, I wonder how you will refuse?

Although he has a bad temper, he is still the best game producer in the world.

However, for young people, it’s good to have personality.

"As an old man, I admire young people with talent, temper and character, but I only allow you to make a mistake once."

Unlike several bigwigs in the upstream gaming industry who control the entire gaming ecosystem.

Freeman looked ashen.

If this trend continues, the number of viewers of the Electronic Arts Awards will eventually catch up with or even surpass the number of viewers of this year's WGA.

This is the first edition of the Electronic Arts Prize!

But whether it was the stage design, the overall tone or the level of excitement, it had a dimensionality-reducing impact on the WGA.

But there is one thing that I just can’t figure out no matter how hard I try.

Seeing this, it is still unclear what Naughty Cat intends to do with the Video Game Awards platform.

More than two hours passed.

This ceremony has come to an end.

After the finale performance, many new games will be announced.

At previous WGAs, the game clips before the annual best player announcement were the most expensive in the entire venue and had the highest exposure.

Even though the current Electronic Arts Awards have not yet reached that height, some heavyweight games have emerged at this time.

The first game CG promotional video came from Tudou Factory.

This company does not have a good reputation among the gaming community, but it is undeniable that it has a level of control over players that is envied by its peers around the world.

The output of games is extremely high, but the quality is uneven. Over the years, not only has there been no improvement, but it has also regressed a lot.

Many players are fooled every year, and the tricks are never the same.

After seeing the exquisite game CG and experiencing the high-quality game content in the first few hours, as the perspective was pulled to the distance, the words "Tudou Factory's major offering" and the game logo popped up. Many players were in a trance, feeling that this was one of the greatest game companies in the world.

But what followed was an old lady's foot binding, a long and stinky formulaic open world.

The second promotional video comes from Xiao Ri Zi, a medium-sized game company, and it brings a not-so-standard soul-like game.

The design took into account many features of soul-like games, such as the ingeniously designed box-like levels and the oppressive and difficult bosses.

But it also has some characteristics of its own, such as an equipment system that can be repeatedly refreshed, and a very powerful skill system that can be obtained after adding points.

When the two promotional videos were broadcast, the audience gave applause.

Then, there is the third trailer.

But this time, there were many puzzled voices at the scene.

"Huh? Start right away?"

“Where’s the manufacturer’s logo?”

The scene begins late at night, and the crows can be heard all around.

In the middle of a forest, there is a dilapidated ancient monument.

A man wearing a top hat and a red cape, who looked like a prodigal son and a gambler, was leaning on the ruins, playing with a few cards in his hand.

He raised his head slightly, as if he had discovered something, and suddenly threw the cards in his hand out.

A crow was impaled on a card and fell to the ground.

The view follows the crow's corpse upwards, and a "person" with eyes emitting faint green light stands there.

It should be said that it is a scarecrow.

It is exactly the same as the scarecrow used in farmland to drive away birds and protect crops.

But this scarecrow looks terrifying, like a nightmare from a horror story.

With a wave of his hand, flocks of crows flew towards the prodigal son who was playing cards across the street.

The latter's way of fighting was not with swords, spears, or halberds, but with cards emitting red, blue, and yellow light.

[This CG technology is really good, but I just can't tell what kind of game this is]

[Action game, right? This is clearly a reflection of the character’s characteristics]

[Obviously an action game]

However, in the next scene, in a wasteland, a blue-skinned wizard with a book in his hand and luggage on his back was being chased by a black fog.

The black fog continued to devour everything around it, and there were whispers and mocking sounds of demons in it.

Then, a disembodied monster appeared, holding a sharp blade in its hand that could easily pierce a person, and fought with the blue-skinned wizard.

In the next scene, a red-haired, heroic female assassin wielding two daggers wrestled with a burly knight in shining golden armor.

The fierce battle caused the ground to collapse, and the knight in golden armor gained the upper hand.

However, just when he was about to kill the enemy, another enemy walked out of the darkness, wielding a big knife and looking like a madman.

Even if the giant sword pierced the opponent's body, it could not kill him.

Just when the knight in golden armor was in a tough fight and in danger.

In the distance, a little girl appeared, humming a song and walking towards here with a teddy bear.

Cute yet gloomy.

She threw her doll into the air, and a giant bear with flames all over its body appeared.

Roaring and roaring, he rushed towards the enemy.

But before the giant bear and the undead barbarians could decide the winner, an accident occurred again.

A huge monster that looked like a snake and a dragon rose from the ground and easily swallowed the giant bear.

The terrifying eyes were fixed on the people on the ground, ready to attack at any time.

At the moment the two sides fought, the scene ended and the screen went black for a short time.

Seeing this, netizens in the live broadcast room became even more confused.

[This doesn't look like an action game or an RPG game, what is this? ]

[If the main combat method was not melee, I would have thought this was a new expansion for Overwatch]

[Wait. Am I the only one who thinks some of these skill settings are similar to that Warcraft map?]

[Shit, this isn't the standalone version of the League of Legends map, is it? Is this true?]

But the next second, the answer was revealed.

The bilingual LOGOs in Chinese and English appeared one after another.

"League of Legends"

League of Legends

As soon as this LOGO appeared, the audience was no longer applauding, but in an uproar.

"Did Naughty Cat really turn another player's work into an independent game? And it's the finale at this time?"

"Isn't this Naughty Cat's ultimate means to solve the problem of capital chain by relying on this game?"

"Isn't this a little too magical? Is this game really possible?"

At this moment, Naughty Cat's competitors around the world couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

West was amazed. "You are really at your wits' end. Is this the only solution? A community map born from Warcraft? Lin Mo, you kind of disappoint me."

Ito Makoto even laughed and planned to get up and go to the gym to exercise for a while, muttering to himself: "Sure enough, you have no backup plan. If we talk about cooperation again, it will not be an exclusive game."

At the headquarters of Baofeng Entertainment, Moreno laughed so hard that he almost cried.

The laughter stopped after a long time.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo, although Baofeng Entertainment has recruited some of your people and established a related project team, you don't think this so-called MOBA game can really be popular, do you?"

Compared with the silent doubts from peers, the response among the player community is still quite large.

Many players have experienced the fun of this new type of game in Warcraft, and even independent communities have been born to share experiences, gameplay, and hero strategies.

[It’s interesting, but is this game Naughty Cat’s back-up plan? Can he really get out of this predicament with this? ]

[Who cares? Just have fun and buy some more skins later.]

[Brothers, believe me, this map is really fun! ! ! ]

[I must support Naughty Cat's new game, but it feels a bit unfair to support such a big event with just one game? Should I start the next step now?]

The audience looked confused and at a loss.

There are no actual gameplay footage, nor are there any changes or gameplay introductions.

Gone!

The fans are especially messy.

Brother, you are the most important sponsor, so important, with the mission of pulling the naughty cat out of the quagmire.

Is that all that is going to happen?

Same as normal manufacturers?

Even if you are still not satisfied, you have to face the reality helplessly.

Because, next up is the most important annual game awards ceremony.

Jeff announced in a loud voice: "The Electronic Arts Award for Game of the Year is nominated for the winner - Xenoblade Torment! Congratulations!"

Upon hearing this name, many people who thought they would have had a chance to win the Best Producer award if Naughty Cat Game had not participated in the competition showed a trace of disappointment on their faces.

But then they started applauding again.

Because this game is a very unique game, and it is an exception to the game promoted on the Origin platform this year.

The gameplay of the game can only be described as average, but the depth of the plot can be said to have reached an unprecedented depth in RPG games.

It was well received but not a box-office hit.

[Alas, it still feels a bit awkward that it wasn’t Naughty Cat’s game that won the annual award]

[Anyway, it is assumed that the best game of the year is the second best game of the year, what’s the difference?]

[Xenoblade: Torment? This is a good game, but it contains too much information and is a bit obscure and not easy to understand]

[Indeed, if it weren’t for the Naughty Cat game, this game would indeed be a good choice of the year]

[The ceremony is over just like that? I feel like it’s not enough.]

As if to respond to the expectations of the fans watching the live broadcast, the show did not end after the award winner stepped down from the stage.

Lin Mo took to the stage again.

It seems to be saying that the surprise is yet to come.
