Chapter 423 327 Is Really Poisonous
Chapter 423 327. It's really poisonous
After the great success of the first and second E3 exhibitions, the organizing committee failed to negotiate the venue with the Los Angeles Convention Center.
This year's E3 was held at the Atlanta World Congress Center. The scale was not as large as the previous two sessions, and the number of visitors was only more than 30,000.
However, this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the players participating in the game exhibition.
Despite the hot weather, the players participating in the game exhibition were still enthusiastic.
They wore a variety of game character costumes, holding their favorite game props in their hands, and their faces were filled with excited smiles.
The main reason is that-
Although the scale and venue of this year's E3 Electronics Exhibition are smaller than in the past, there are the most participating game companies. Not only are there regular guests from previous years, such as Sega, Rendezvous, EA, etc., but also many world-renowned game manufacturers have come to the scene.
For example, Sony, Konami, Namco...
The most eye-catching, in addition to a number of old-fashioned big game companies, is Pokeni.
Paradox's popularity in Europe and the United States is really high.
From the moment Qing Zhiyuan got off the plane and followed the staff into the E3 main venue, there were all kinds of enthusiastic cheers all around, and even the media reporters focused their cameras on Qing Zhiyuan.
This young president is good-looking and photogenic, and with the reputation and popularity accumulated by Paradox, he immediately became the focus of attention at the scene.
Although many local young people don't know Qing Zhiyuan, they know the POKENI sign held by the staff in front of Qing Zhiyuan.
As soon as he appeared, he was surrounded by a crowd of people.
"What kind of games will POKENI bring this year?"
"Is this the first time for POKENI to attend E3 Electronics Show? Can you tell me why you chose to attend this year? Why didn't you consider accepting the invitation of E3 before?"
Qing Zhiyuan just smiled calmly in response to the questions from the media, "What kind of games will POKENI bring this year? Just wait and see. We will announce it at the pre-show press conference.
It's a bit too early to say it now, hahaha.
As for why we came to E3 Electronics Show this year, it's because we were not prepared before and didn't have any games that we could show off.
This year should be considered a more confident one."
Hiss...
Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
Last year, POKENI exhibited heavyweight games such as "Princess Mononoke" and "The Devil Hunter 2: Devil's Egg" at the Tokyo Game Show.
This is still called [not good enough]?
Then whose games can be shown off?
Is POKENI going to lift the game to the sky this year? !
In short, Pokeni's appearance, coupled with Qing Zhiyuan's words, directly raised the suspense to the fullest. Paradox has not held a pre-exhibition press conference, but it has already fermented to the point of exploding.
The focus of the whole audience can be said to be full of gimmicks.
The organizers did not expect that although the scale of this year is small, there are so many game manufacturers coming.
…
After Qing Zhiyuan entered the main venue, many game manufacturers couldn't help but look over.
Among them, in addition to the game manufacturers of Europe and America, there are many old faces and old acquaintances.
Mr. Nakayama Hayao of Sega was particularly enthusiastic about him. After coming up, he patted Qing Zhiyuan on the back and walked forward with him.
"Qing Sang, I didn't expect Pokeni to come too."
"Yeah."
Qing Zhiyuan smiled and nodded and looked at the old man.
Mr. Nakayama is now more energetic than the last time he saw him. His overall condition is much better. He has also dyed his hair black. From the outside, he doesn't look like a 65-year-old man at all, but more like a middle-aged man in his 40s.
It seems that in order to show that Sega can still fight and still have courage, this time Nakayama Hayao is still very concerned about the E3 Electronics Show and arrived at the scene in person.
Thanks to Pokeni, Sega is still able to turn things around.
Due to the hot sales of Pokémon in the past year or so, Sega's handheld game console has been directly placed on the altar and has become the world's number one game handheld game console.
Rentendo was completely defeated, and even Yokoi Gunpei, who was in charge of the development of the handheld game console, resigned because of this.
So for Hayao Nakayama, it can be said that it is a mixed blessing.
Although it lost in the console market and SS was completely crushed by PS, at least it has regained a city in the handheld game console field.
So Hayao Nakayama was very happy after meeting Qing Zhiyuan, and didn't care too much about their [turning to Sony].
"Looking forward to future cooperation."
After saying hello to Nakayama Hayao, Qing Zhiyuan said goodbye to him with a smile, and turned around to be surrounded by a group of people again.
Ken Kutaragi of Sony pulled Qing Zhiyuan to talk for a long time.
In addition to Sony, there are many game manufacturers and operators, distributors and publishers in Europe and the United States, etc., all came to Qing Zhiyuan, hoping to cooperate in the future.
Qing Zhiyuan also felt——
E3 Electronics Show is indeed a business show. It is not for promoting games, but for socializing. Knowing more people will make the future easier. Everyone comes here with similar ideas.
In the main venue of E3, Pokeni is the most handsome guy.
…
At 10 am on July 8, the pre-show press conference of E3 Electronics Show officially began.
For the sake of appearance, the first to hold the press conference was the legendary game manufacturer in Japan, which is also the world's number one in sales.
In fact, in this E3 Electronics Show, the exhibition area given to Rentendo is the largest and most conspicuous.
As the spokesperson of Rentendo, Shigeru Miyamoto introduced the game "Super Mario 64".
"Super Mario 64" won high praise from the media on the scene for its innovative game design and exquisite graphics.
In the game, players will play Mario and travel through six different worlds, each with unique themes and challenges.
The open world design of the game allows players to explore freely and find hidden props and secret passages.
In addition, "Super Mario 64" also introduced a "3D control" system, allowing players to control Mario's actions more intuitively and realistically.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a 3D operation method of Pokeni, which not only increases the fun of the game, but also enhances the player's gaming experience.
The only difference is that the handle of N64 of Nintendo has a single joystick in the middle and lower position, just like flying a plane.
It is far less comfortable than the dual joysticks on the PS.
The N64 game console has almost lost half of its market share after its release. If it weren't for the players' love for Super Mario, many people would probably not want to buy the N64.
Nintendo's games, coupled with the exclusive strategy, have guaranteed their own market. However, they have also lost another part of the market.
If this game was released on the PS, its achievements would be at least doubled.
After introducing the N64 game console, I also introduced several new games from Nintendo.
Shigeru Miyamoto also revealed that next year, the company will have a blockbuster game coming to everyone. It may not be released, but it will definitely be a feast for the eyes.
Players can't help but look forward to it.
In fact, there is no need to ask, Qing Zhiyuan also knows the name of the game -
"The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"
It can be regarded as the starting point of the strongest myth of Renten. After the previous life of Ocarina of Time, Zelda became the sky.
Before this, the Legend of Zelda was at most an RPG game with its own unique gameplay.
But in Ocarina of Time, Renten added many innovative elements, made the game 3D, and laid many standards for future 3D games.
However, the standards for 3D games in this timeline are almost set by Pokeni, so the only thing that Ocarina of Time can show is its gameplay and the IP influence of the Legend of Zelda.
Qing Zhiyuan said there is no need to worry at all.
The future is destined to be the world of Pokeni.
…
In the pre-E3 press conference, the most eye-catching ones are several game manufacturers:
The first one is Rentoku, and the highlight they brought is the 3D game "Super Mario 64".
And the second one is Square Enix.
Square's pre-show press conference was held in the afternoon.
Masashi Miyamoto brought "Final Fantasy 7" again
"Final Fantasy 7" was actually released in Japan in January this year, and it will be released in North America around the end of July.
This time Square Enix also took advantage of the opportunity of the E3 Electronics Show to promote it.
This game sold extremely well as soon as it was released. Now the sales volume in Japan has exceeded more than 2 million copies, becoming one of the best-selling games on the PS platform since the New Year this year.
It is second only to Pokémon vs. Light and Dark released by Pokeni in February.
"Final Fantasy VII" has reached the peak of the series in terms of plot, and the game has deeply portrayed each important character.
Each character has his own background, and these unrelated people come together for the fate of the planet.
The most popular villain Sephiroth makes people love and hate him, the mysterious protagonist Cloud, the strong Barret, and the weak Alice. The character portrayal of this game is a successful one in the history of the "Final Fantasy" series.
As a game on PS, "Final Fantasy VII" has won countless praises for its brand-new combat system, rich game elements, 3D dreamy pictures and shocking animations.
The launch of this game can be said to help PS consolidate its dominant position in home consoles.
If there were no Pokeni, Square Enix would have been a brilliant year this year. If there were no Paradox, Final Fantasy 7 should have established the dominant position of PS in the field of home game consoles, not just [consolidation].
However, after avoiding a number of game masterpieces released by Paradox, Masashi Miyamoto is very happy to have achieved such a good result.
…
European and American game manufacturers are mostly PC games, and the pre-exhibition press conference was unusually eye-catching.
If i successfully opened 3D games with Pokémon 3D World, it established the 3D game market.
So this time at the E3 electronics show, it is a milestone in the establishment of 3D games on PC.
Interplay brought a game like "Fallout" that included 3D elements, but was actually still a 2D action-adventure game masterpiece: although it looked far inferior to Pokeni's Diablo 2, it still won warm applause at the scene.
id Software brought "Quake". The space in the game was created using a real three-dimensional space, which added a lot of exploration and fun to the game. At the same time, it also made many innovations in the system method. It uses the previous two-dimensional sub-graphics, but uses a true three-dimensional rendering method to achieve it.
Although pokeni has already used advanced 3D technology on PS and produced a bunch of 3D games, "Quake" is still the first one on PC.
It has epoch-making significance.
In addition to these games, Eidos brings Tomb Raider 2
In the game, players will play Lara Croft, a brave and fearless female explorer, who will embark on a journey full of dangers and challenges.
At the beginning of the game, Lara receives a mysterious letter stating that her grandfather has disappeared.
In search of her grandfather, Laura comes to an ancient city full of puzzles and traps. Players need to help Lara solve these puzzles in order to move forward.
Over the course of the game, Lara Croft will encounter a variety of enemies, including zombies, beasts, and evil foes.
Players need to use various weapons and skills to defeat these enemies.
In addition, there are many hidden treasures and secrets in the game waiting for players to discover.
As the game progresses, Lara gradually uncovers the truth behind her grandfather's disappearance.
It turns out that my grandfather once discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization, which contained a powerful artifact.
This artifact was coveted by evil forces, who kidnapped Grandpa in an attempt to use the artifact's power to fulfill their ambitions.
In order to save her grandfather and stop the evil forces' plans, Lara must go deep into this dangerous site and start a desperate fight with the evil forces.
In this process, Laura not only has to face various dangerous enemies, but also solve many complex puzzles.
In the end, Lara succeeds in finding the artifact and defeating the evil forces.
…
The most popular and recognized game at this E3 should ultimately be "Tomb Raider 2".
After the success of the previous game and the popularity of the character of Lara Croft, Eidos seized the opportunity to announce the sequel and also selected a real-life model as the spokesperson for Lara Croft, Rona Maitra, a mixed-race Indian-British woman.
As soon as the model Rona Maitra appeared on the scene, she caused screams in the scene, and countless photographers focused their cameras on her.
No one thought that in this pre-show conference of Tomb Raider 2, Eidos would invite Lorna Maitra to be the model on the scene, and directly adopt Lara Croft’s classic look:
The cool and tight clothes outline your perfect figure, and holding guns in both hands adds a bit of heroism.
Overall, Rona Maitra is handsome and beautiful and won the hearts of the audience as soon as she appeared.
It was as if this was not a game conference, but a movie conference or some kind of fashion festival.
Rona Maitra directly stole the attention of everyone present, and at the same time wasted countless film rolls of a large number of reporters.
Good guy.
Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but mutter to himself——
It turns out that the earliest cosplay stations started in this era, right?
I still underestimated the E3 electronics show.
He sat on his seat with his hands folded, thinking carefully about the game he had brought this time... After some searching, Qing Zhiyuan discovered a helpless reality——
We really don’t have any eye-catching cos.
Think about it, where does Pikachu's sexual performance go?
ah! How abominable.
It's a pity that the company's games with outstanding female characters did not participate. Otherwise, he would have wanted the cosplayers of his games to shine at the electronics show.
At least I have to compare with this Laura.
Got it, I’ll arrange it next year.
…
During the live demonstration, Eidos demonstrated various special gameplay and game effects in Tomb Raider 2. Lara Croft can not only use various means of transportation, drive a car, sail a boat, etc., but also use different weapons to Fight.
In addition to promoting the Tomb Raider game, there is also a very important purpose——
To promote the new Voodoo graphics card developed by 3DFX by showing off Tomb Raider 2.
Thanks to voodoo graphics, Tomb Raider 2 was able to capture everyone's attention.
When I saw the 3D effect brought by the Voodoo graphics card, the scene was filled with excitement.
"Wow, it turns out that PC can also produce powerful 3D game effects."
"What kind of graphics card is this? I will buy one when I go back. Otherwise, it will be a shame if I can't play Tomb Raider 2."
The emergence of Voodoo graphics cards made people realize that PC games may also usher in a new evolution and enter the 3D era. Names such as "Quake" and "Fallout" have made PC games begin to have their own exclusive influence.
…
Overall, after the first day, the media reporters seemed to have only Laura's long legs and the poisonous name of the Voodoo graphics card in their heads.
"I wonder what kind of game Pokeni can bring tomorrow?"
…
