Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

The large conference hall on the first floor of the Holy Light Society.

As a conference room inside the Holy Light Society that is specifically used for game demonstrations, this is not a very formal long-table conference room. Instead, it is more like a movie theater's screening room, or an opera stage.

Today is the release day of "Elden Ring", and the entire Holy Light Society is looking forward to it very much. However, there are not only many employees from the company sitting in the conference hall at this time, but some seats in the front row are also allocated to some colleagues with good relationships, senior players or anchors who are lucky enough to have the opportunity to participate, and some world-renowned media.

Official media such as Japan's NHK, Britain's BCC, America's NBC, and even China's etc., all sent some reporters to the scene, making a grand scene.

Looking at the reporters holding cameras and long guns below the stage, Kawaguchi on the stage was nervous and excited, and his hands unconsciously tightened around the microphone.

At this moment, he only felt that life was unpredictable and full of ups and downs.

A year ago, he was a little Karami who was working at NTsoft and worried about being laid off. But a year later, he became a spokesperson for a large company and could speak to gamers around the world under the camera of so many well-known media. Besides, there were not only gamers in front of the TV, but also his mother!

Guangzong Yaozu.

Kawaguchi is so excited now. Fortunately, he is not only honest, but also very stable. In other words, he is the kind of person who gets nervous before something happens, but is relatively calm when something really happens.

Needless to say, I saw Dongchuan Che and his family walk into the conference room and glanced at the clock on the wall.

As Ah Mei, who was hosting the event with him today, stepped onto the stage in high heels, he cleared his throat, bowed and said with a smile: "Welcome everyone to take the time out of your busy schedule to come to our new game launch conference of Shengguang Club. On behalf of all the staff of Shengguang Club, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you all.

Today, our Holy Light Society will not only broadcast the sales figures of "Elden Ring" in real time, but also at the end of the press conference, I will introduce two new projects that our Holy Light Society will launch this year to all colleagues, media friends and the audience friends who are watching the program in front of the screen at this time!"

"Two new projects? Didn't I hear before that there was only one?"

"The industrial capacity of the Holy Light Society is too strong!"

"Oh my god! People who release games next year should be careful!"

"Long live Dongchuan Che!!!"

"This Toukawa Che is so confident that he's ready to announce a new project before Elden Ring is even released. Isn't he afraid that Elden Ring will fail?!"

"Yes. Although the pre-sale sales of this game are terrifying, the tone is too high, and players' expectations will be even higher. I estimate that if this game cannot achieve the quality of 20 million sales, some people may accuse it of being more hype than substance."

Kawaguchi was talking on and on on the stage.

When they heard that two new projects would be launched this year, cheers immediately broke out from the audience!

Although the people attending the press conference this time came from all walks of life, their purposes were similar.

The news media naturally hope that Che Dongchuan can create more influential and more talked-about works; gamers certainly want to play good games; as for peers, although peers are enemies, Che Dongchuan will definitely not invite peers with conflicts such as NTsoft to this kind of press conference, but more friendly competitors from different fields and regional managers of some offline physical stores.

Either their interests were aligned or there was no conflict of interest. The invited guests were naturally happy and the atmosphere was like attending a dinner party. But not everyone was excited. Some people were still a little worried or skeptical. After all, the tone of "Elden Ring" was indeed too high.

Especially after the pre-sale sales exceeded 8 million in the past two days, the outside world was almost exaggerating "Elden Ring". Even big companies like NTsoft, NICO, and Kondo Ryūmengiya hired some trolls to promote "Elden Ring"!

Of course, they only hired a small number of internet trolls to add fuel to the fire; the main forces of the marketing departments of these large companies have not yet moved.

They are sworn enemies, yet they are touting the Elden Ring.

There is no other reason, it's just flattery!

Human anticipation is a magical emotion.

The most typical example is "Cyberpunk: 2077".

This game was a half-finished product when it was released, but it was not completely useless. The main problems were bugs and optimization. The plot and graphics were actually very good. Even when Dongchuan Che played the first release in his previous life, he did not encounter the bugs mentioned online. It was just that the PS4 had serious frame drops, which made him a little dizzy.

To put it bluntly, 2077 was definitely not a masterpiece, but it was not a completely useless piece of shit. It could be rated 2077 to out of , and the plot could be rated more than points. The main deductions were optimization and bugs. But the reputation of exploded, and countless netizens called it "unprecedented super shit".

The reason is that "2077" was promoted too highly.

Similarly, the higher the hype of "Elden Ring" is now, the higher the players' expectations are, and the higher their subconscious demands are! Once "Elden Ring" fails to meet the expectations and demands of players, things will be troublesome! By then, those opponents will definitely not miss the opportunity to completely discredit Dongchuan Che!

Nervousness, anticipation, gloating, I have nothing to do with the rain, just watching the show.

The invited guests at the scene had completely different mentalities, and in this somewhat twisted atmosphere, as the clock on the wall struck ten o'clock in the morning, as the big screen on the stage lit up, and as the laptops in front of the invited guests automatically turned on, the entire conference hall became completely lively!

"Phew! Here it comes! The Elden Ring is on sale!"

"Jack! Put the camera up! The highlight is about to begin!"

Today's new game launch conference not only shows sales, but also provides everyone with a laptop computer for trial play.

It must be said that this decision was indeed well received by everyone present. After all, although they could also live broadcast when they returned home, playing "Elden Circle" at the new game launch conference of the Holy Light Society brought completely different amount of topics.

The reporters from the official media were fine, they were all carrying cameras and filming here and there, interviewing, but they weren't particularly excited. But the gamers and anchors who won the "tickets" were particularly excited.

This is a huge amount of traffic!

At this moment, in a corner of the conference room, Dafei, the anchor from Huaxia Banana Video, was extremely excited.

"My fellow fans! Look where I am?! Hey↑~~The new game launch of Holy Light Society! Pretentious~~You can just say that I, Da Feiniu, am extremely lucky. At that time, hundreds of anchors were drawing lots, but the spot was won by an online game anchor like me! Hehehe, today I will let you see my gaming sense that I, Da Fei, have honed over twenty years of online gaming experience! Any super-difficult [Wolf Game], in front of me, Da Fei, is nothing!"

Da Fei was fiddling with the camera and opening the live broadcast room, while he said with a proud smile: "Hey, let's take a look at the configuration of this laptop first. The graphics card is Lao Huang's 9050ti, which is currently the mainstream graphics card, and the screen resolution is 2K. Using the 9050ti to run 2K, as long as the image quality settings are not locked when entering the game, and the image quality settings are medium to high, then there should be no problem with the optimization of this game. How about it, am I professional? Quickly type the word professional on the public screen!"
