"In the past ten years, thanks to the continuous development, exploration and enterprising spirit of groups of gamers, the global game industry has made great progress and technological leaps,"
"From independent game producers, to game studios, to large comprehensive game manufacturers,"
"We are enriching the colorful world of the ninth art bit by bit,"
"This is not only due to the efforts of every game player, but also the result of industrial exchange and integration, sharing of market opportunities, and joint efforts for cooperative development..."
Sweden, Stockholm International Exhibition Center.
Since last year, the Global Game Developers Exchange Conference has updated its holding model.
The venue of the conference was changed from the original fixed location of the United States to rotating cities every year.
This year, the conference is scheduled to be held in Stockholm.
Nearly 80 representative manufacturers from all over the world participated in the conference, ranging from large to small, and even independent game producers.
As said before.
Since Golden Wind made an exception to participate, the entire game developer exchange conference has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has become more and more adept at accepting more diversified game manufacturers and producers to participate, and has truly realized the "enhancement of exchanges among the world's top practitioners"
"The purpose of the meeting.
And now.
Golden Wind, which once brought changes to GDC, was once again invited to appear at this game exchange event.
However, they were once invited only if they were "unconventional", but now they have grown into the most important and high-profile invited guests at this industry event.
Looking at the dignified Gu Sheng on the main stage, standing behind the podium and talking eloquently, the corners of Shen Miaomiao's mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Just having fun.
Beside her, Chu Qingzhou, who was accompanying her at the meeting, nudged her with his elbow:
"Hey, that's about it. Calm down your arrogant expression. The media is taking photos."
For a moment, Shen Miaomiao was even a little dazed.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
Shen Miaomiao still remembered the same expression she had when she looked at Gu Sheng, who was shining brightly on the stage and holding a golden scepter at the Asian Games awards ceremony.
But at that time, she and Lao Gu had only a hazy relationship, like an ambiguous relationship separated by a veil.
Sister Chu Chu's words at that time immediately made her blush.
And now——?
"Tch, I can't see my own man yet?"
Shen Miaomiao became even more arrogant:
"I look at people who are not wearing clothes openly. He is still wearing clothes. I look at him openly, okay?"
After a few words, the offensive and defensive changes were made, which made Chu Qingzhou blush:
"You...my little aunt...you have a good mouth, right?"
Under the stage, two people were muttering and whispering.
On the stage, Gu Sheng’s speech as the representative of the invited manufacturer was coming to an end:
"There is a proverb in our country called 'One chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks are bunched together',"
"Today, as the global game market gradually expands, more and more opportunities and challenges will be placed in front of us,"
"A person's power is limited after all,"
"If we want to better seize opportunities and meet challenges, win-win cooperation will be the best and only solution for future industrial development and industry progress,"
"Golden Wind will also work with friends and businessmen from various countries to jointly contribute to the cause of Ninth Art,"
"Now, we have taken the first step towards industrial alliance and win-win cooperation——"
Talking!
Gu Sheng turned slightly sideways and gestured towards the huge LED screen behind him.
As the lights at the scene gradually dimmed!
Two floral LOGOs appeared on the big black screen, instantly detonating the audience!
【Golden Engine&Phoenix】
boom--!!!
No need to say more!
Just two names were enough to cause an uproar at the scene!
One is an emerging self-research engine!
One is a top business engine!
As an invited guest at GDC, a top industry exchange event, who among the participating manufacturer representatives does not know about these two engines?
After all, they had just broken through the shackles of the blockade and created a FPS masterpiece like "Battlefield" that shocked the entire gaming industry.
The other one has always occupied a high share of the market, and recently became the protagonist of the official anti-blockade Yunwei!
For a time, the entire venue was in an uproar, and discussions broke out one after another——
"Holy crap... Golden Engine has actually united with Phoenix!"
"No wonder Phoenix wants to block Yunwei..."
"This is the certificate of submission."
"Technical interoperability, this is it, good guys, I said before that the biggest shortcoming of the golden engine is the insufficient display of picture details, but they actually made up for it in this way!"
"Dafa... Golden Engine's great scene creation and physical destruction, coupled with Phoenix's detailed rendering technology, wow... this new work is very interesting..."
"Yunwei took the initiative to cause trouble this time, but he was really too playful."
"Indeed, if Yunwei hadn't insisted on blocking GW, GW probably wouldn't have been able to think of developing its own engine in a year and a half, so it wouldn't have joined forces with the industry. There's a high probability that Yunwei will be showing off its new work now."
"One wrong step and the next wrong, GW was not crushed, but Yunwei was directly squeezed out of GDC..."
"Look at the level of GW's work. If this work can still cause a sensation, then the counterattack of Golden Wind is really coming."
"I guess it's pretty close, it's said to be a wolf game, maybe even Wolf 2"
"Wolf 2 is not scary. After all, the first one was so successful. If GW really makes a sequel, there won't be many changes. The new IP of Golden Wind is the most lethal..."
"..."
With the whispers in the venue!
On the big screen, the logo of the union of the two major engines also gradually dimmed.
Immediately afterwards.
In the silence, lines of white fonts appeared one after another——
【Gu Sheng's works】

[Special thanks to: China National Symphony Orchestra]
【Golden Wind】
【Grand and grand presentation】
And just as the last "Grand Presentation" gradually faded away and faded out of the screen!
The voice of an old woman, full of vicissitudes of life, slowly emerged like the dust raised when opening a thick and obscure ancient book——
【Yes indeed...(Yes, that's right...)】
Dong——dong——woo——
Echoing with the sound of heavy drum beats!
The thick and deep sound of the tuba slowly opened the thick dark curtain on the big screen, like lifting a dusty curtain——
The mottled statue casts a shadow of ruin under the dim light.
The broken walls and ruins with a rich medieval style were annihilated and buried in the swirling wind, sand and smoke.
Look up.
The magnificent Gothic-style royal city is located on the peak of the distant mountains.
The sunset was also covered by clouds.
What little light remained was covered by the shadow cast by the huge royal city.
The whole world is in ruins, and it seems that the only place where there is still a breath of life is the royal city located under the clouds and above the mountains——
【That's Lothric】
[It is the hometown of fire kings from past generations]
[It is also a place where wanderers meet...]
Dong——dong——woo——
Wow——!!!
The recent alliance between Phoenix and Golden Engine is news that has caused an uproar in the industry.
So at this moment, as the latest promotional video of Golden Wind released by the major axis, it is a big drama that will cause a sensation among players around the world!
Although the venue was quiet.
But in the live broadcast barrage at this moment, the news has already exploded!
‘OHHHHHHHHH——!!!’
'All rise!!!'
‘Damn it! It’s not Wolf 2! It’s a new game! It has a medieval fictional background!’
‘A generous gift crab! This scene is too grand...’
'Completely different from sekiro!'
‘The epic feeling is already upon us…’
‘OMG——This soundtrack and dubbing are too heavy——’
'It feels more grand than the background of Wolf 2...'
‘No wonder someone said before that GW is preparing to make a series this time’
'It feels like the twilight of the empire, the story is very strong...'
‘No matter how strong the story is, it will be fragmented. Let’s fight for it by ourselves when the time comes (Goutou)’
'You understand the old thieves...'
‘It feels like we need to give full play to the golden engine’s ability to create big scenes’
'Coupled with Phoenix's detailed picture performance, my God...'
'I can't even imagine how immersive this game will be...'
‘…’
And with the audience’s enthusiastic discussion!
The screen changes.
The wind and sand are rolling.
Among the ashes and dust, the north wind howls.
Under the rolling mountains, a group of strange pedestrians carrying crutches and stumbling on their feet were walking hard towards the royal city above the mountain top, which was clearly close before their eyes, but yet far away in the horizon.
Their bodies were wrapped in thick gray cloth, their clothes were ragged, and their bodies were weak and withered, like dry and fragile branches in the harsh winter.
But on top of such a withered body, he was carrying a huge and heavy tortoise shell that took up half of his body.
And on top of the tortoise shell, there were even criss-crossed, rusty iron chains.
They moved forward with difficulty in the howling wind.
The strong wind blew up the corners of their ragged clothes, and they hunted and danced wildly in the swirling wind and sand.
[Therefore, the pilgrims all headed north]
[And understand the true meaning of the fable——]
Under the dark sky of despair.
There is no trace of life in the dark royal city tower.
From a distant place, the royal city seemed to be still alive, but at the moment it was so lifeless.
The heavy snow of winter rolls wildly.
The world, but not a single ashes of the fire can be seen.
Haze enveloped the bell tower.
Despair pervades the world.
Snap.
In the biting cold wind, an ascetic pilgrim finally seemed to be unable to hold on any longer.
As fragile as fallen leaves in the autumn wind, as insignificant as a speck of dust under the endless haze.
He fell to the ground, the heavy tortoise shell being the only weight on his body.
The gently rising dust is gray and white, like the cool and lonely fireless ashes after a fire burns.
At this moment, an old and heavy voice, accompanied by the gloomy and somber tones of the cello, enveloped this grand but lifeless world...
