Chapter 681 Can't hold back

"The gaming industry has a history of thirty years. We have witnessed countless legends in the gaming industry and the birth of countless masters in the gaming industry!

The TGA Game Awards Ceremony is a witness to the history of games

The host on the stage said emotionally that the establishment of TGA awards ceremony must be given a name. TGA must be the choice of history and appear in response to the voices of countless game users around the world. It can be said to be destiny.

Sitting below, Minoru Arakawa, the president of Nintendo North America, and the heads of Sony, Microsoft and other companies all twitched their faces. They felt that sometimes they were already shameless enough, but Xueleshan was completely shameless.

All I have to do is shout out like those gangsters that the appearance of TGA is God’s will, and all Americans must send money to TGA.

"This year, global video game console sales have reached a new record. Global game software and equipment sales have exceeded 40 billion U.S. dollars, and global game users have exceeded 270 million. TGA and Snow Mountain Game Marketing Department estimate that future global game revenue

, will grow at an annual rate of 9%.

This is inseparable from the support of all game engineers, as well as the support of countless game companies such as Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and Ubisoft!" After hearing that Xueleshan finally did not take all the credit on himself, a group of game companies sitting below the scene

The person in charge looked a little better.

However, even so, Minoru Arakawa glanced around and saw that no one was bothering Xueleshan who was selling melons and boasting. Arakawa Minoru also understood that after this award ceremony, the right to speak in the global game industry would have to change.

Japan's benzene was transferred to America, and it was in the hands of Snow Mountain!

Regarding this day, Nintendo, Sony, Konami and other Japanese game manufacturers are not surprised. Considering the relationship between Japan and America, what happened to the sovereign country grabbing something? Does a father need a reason to beat his son? But on this day

It happened so fast, which still made Arakawa sigh.

Losing the right to speak in the game industry may not cost the Japanese game industry anything in one or two years, but after five or ten years, the effect will become more and more obvious.

Just like the Oscar's status in the global film industry, it controls the standard of a "good" movie. Others can say whether a movie is good or not, but Oscar has the final say!

Once you master the standards, you master the trends and technologies, which will in turn affect the user's aesthetics and choices.

The same goes for the gaming industry. Whether a game is good or not depends on the TGA Awards Ceremony, and then it affects the trends and sales of the gaming industry. In the past, Nintendo and Sony relied on their consoles to cover the entire gaming industry with one hand. That was impossible.

Appeared again...

"In the first TGA Game Awards Ceremony, the winner of the Best Game Developer of the Year is...Nintendo!"

There was a sound in Minoru Arakawa's ears, and then he heard that Nintendo had won an award. This award sounded prestigious, but in fact, it was just a name.

TGA has a total of twenty-one awards. The most important ones are definitely the best game of the year, the most popular game award among players, etc. Players care about a hammer game developer. This award is more like a consolation prize. If you win this award,

This year’s TGA Game of the Year Award is completely out of touch with Nintendo.

Tonight's award ceremony is basically about dividing the cake. Large pieces of cake will be given to the members of TGA's nine major management committees and other independent game studios. Small game developers will also have to share bits and pieces. There is a lot of cake-sharing skills involved. It is an art to ensure that the cake is divided into the hands of those who deserve it, not to let small and medium-sized game manufacturers scold them, and to fool the players who are watching the awards!

Xueleshan specially hired a public relations company and Oscar's marketing company to cut the cake tonight. I can't say how well it was done, but at least it didn't stretch the crotch.

"Nintendo thanks the TGA jury for awarding this award to Nintendo. I think President Hiroshi Yamauchi and all Nintendo game designers will "like" this award!"

Minoru Arakawa stood on the stage and got angry. He gave Nintendo the award for Best Game Developer of the Year, but did not give Nintendo the award for Best Game of the Year. What is the difference between this and walking a monkey? Minoru Arakawa made it clear. , Nintendo has lost face, but TGA has also established a strong leadership team.

Regarding this strange yin and yang, Song Yang, who was sitting below, applauded Minoru Arakawa. What is face? TGA wants to become the martial arts leader in the game industry. Can you eat face?

After Williams, the TGA annual best plot award was given to EA's "Red Alert", and the independent game award was given to "The Elder Scrolls"

As for awards such as Best Game Studio, Best Game Soundtrack, Best Adventure Game, and Game Designer of the Year, the cake is basically divided. Although those small and medium-sized game manufacturers did not win the award, they also received nominations.

After awarding a number of awards, during the halftime performance, the host came up and praised Snow Mountain again.

"The "Dawn" project jointly organized by Zou Zhaozhi and TGA has currently provided funds to more than 800 game manufacturers. The Shuguang Game Plan has developed more than 500 games.

The "Dawn Project" was created when icq first acquired Nintendo. Its purpose was to support small and medium-sized game manufacturers. In fact, the newly launched Snow Mountain online game platform had too few game copyright libraries. Supporting these game manufacturers was also intended to increase the number of games on the platform.

Not to mention cannon fodder, the Dawn Project did help some small game manufacturers get through the most difficult days in the beginning, but it is not that difficult for these small game manufacturers to become giants.

"Starting next year, Nintendo and TGA will license game manufacturers that join the "Dawn Project" to use the "Quake Engine" for free!"

"boom"

At this time, there was finally a sound of silence at the awards ceremony. Players and users who were watching the ceremony could see the surprised looks on the faces of Minoru Arakawa and the heads of other game manufacturers through the live footage. Obviously, Didn't know anything about it beforehand.

On the stage, a rock band and singers hired by Nintendo with a large sum of money performed regularly. The executives of TV stations such as C finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the number of viewers finally exceeded 1.5 million.

To be honest, with the current acceptance of the game industry by the outside world, it is difficult for players alone to support the ratings of this kind of game award ceremony. If you want to attract passers-by to watch, you only need to invite celebrities to increase the ratings. Otherwise, it will be just a show. A ratings disaster.

Liu Ren and Ken: Weixue Leshan and other Nintendo executives have also received ratings reports from major TV stations, which can only be said to be quite bleak. This is why before Nintendo, no game manufacturers were willing to produce such large-scale games. There were award ceremonies and events, and the company lost money but still failed to make a profit. It spent a lot of money and still had no benefits. Naturally, manufacturers such as Williams and Sony were unwilling to do it.

"It's just the first TGA.

Ken Williams frowned on the side, and Liu Ren looked nervous. He looked at the singer on the stage. He was a newly debuted singer from America. He was following the path of Madonna. He wore quite cool clothes when performing on stage.

At that time, the ratings also kept rising.

"As long as Nintendo is around, the TGA Awards Ceremony and Hall of Fame will be held every year!"

Liu Ren told Ken Weiseleshan that the right to speak in the game industry is not that difficult to obtain. Even if it means losing money, Nintendo will still hold it. Things such as the right to speak and standards cannot be measured with a dollar.

The most direct example is that the WCG competition held by Bangzi was at its peak, making Bangzi the center of the world's e-sports competitions. However, Bangzi took the initiative to stop it due to funding. The suspension completely changed Bangzi's e-sports status, although it is still strong.

, but it is no longer the center of the e-sports world.

Minoru Arakawa and other game manufacturers were surprised and looked in the direction of Song Yang. The game engine was licensed for free to other game manufacturers. Minoru Arakawa knew that there must be something in it and there would be many restrictions.

, but for the game industry, this is definitely a big event. Arakawa is really not sure what Zou Zhaozhi is going to do.

"Tga's best game of the year...Diablo!"

There was no surprise. On their home court, Blizzard won a resounding victory and won the Game of the Year award.

Later, the best art award and other small awards also ended. Today's award ceremony was basically at the end. At this time, the host suddenly asked someone to come on stage to give a speech.

When they saw Zou Zhaoshi, the crowd was at a loss as they didn't know what he was here for.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yangshi walked up to the stage. He knew that Bangzi's TV station must also be broadcasting this scene at this time. As the director of Bangzi's cultural industry, calling several TV channels was basically useless to Song Yangshi.

It's not a difficult task, not to mention, he also promised to give these TV stations a support budget next quarter.

"It pains me to stand here on behalf of the Bangzi game industry. I also welcome global game manufacturers to invest in Bangzi. Bangzi has the best game talents in the world. I guarantee that in the next three years, Bangzi's game output value will exceed 8 billion US dollars."

Knife and stick will become the fastest growing region in the gaming industry in the world

At the last moment, Song Yangshi finally showed mercy and did not shout out, allowing Bangzi to become the world's largest game producer. However, even so, the various game manufacturers sitting below were still dumbfounded. It was really unbelievable.

Knowing where Song Yangshi came from, Bangzi Games has no reputation at all in the gaming industry.

Arakawa was stunned for a while, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. However, he noticed that a camera was coming over, and Arakawa covered his face with his hands. However, judging from the slight shaking of his palms, he seemed to be holding it in very hard.

The current Bangzi game industry is basically the back garden of Nippon Games. Now that Song Yangshi said that Bangzi Games will surpass Nippon Games, Arakawa really couldn't hold it in anymore.

Today's Nippon game manufacturers are basically similar to Minoru Arakawa, but in Bangzi and when they saw Song Yangshi's figure on the TV station and said those words loudly, many people jumped up and cheered excitedly.
