[Welcome to the Global Game Awards pre-show, I am March Connor...The award ceremony is about to begin, and I can't wait to share it with you.]
[But before that, let’s take a look at the content of the next program. 】
[Every year we strive to create moments you love and respond to the loud voices from the player community...]
Madge Connor, producer and host of the Global Game Awards, sits in front of the camera.
Talk freely.
And with his words.
on the screen.
In last year's masterpiece, various famous scenes began to appear one by one.
Of course, games from Linmu Studio are indispensable.
In the follow-up, there are also many glimpses of new game screens.
Finally, the Global Game Awards warm-up show came to a cool transition, officially kicking off the award ceremony.
Simply perfect!
This time in previous years.
The players were all excited and began to look forward to the next award ceremony...
but......
Something is different this year...
Because not so long ago.
Twelve hours ago.
The opening ceremony of the Linmu Esports Festival has just ended.
At the beginning.
Many overseas players who do not pay attention to the Linmu E-Sports Festival do not take this event too seriously.
After all, for European and American players, it is held too early. Even if you decide to watch it the day before, you will give up the next day because you are sleepy.
but.
The opening ceremony of the Linmu E-Sports Festival plus the opening matches of four events.
Time has stretched long enough...
Later, many North American players got up, either as a pastime for breakfast, or heard from certain channels the news of a sequel to "Call of Duty" being announced.
Open the live broadcast room immediately, the opening ceremony is not over yet.
so.
Many people thus saw the debut of the sequel to "Dark Souls"...
This is already a big surprise!
Many players were immediately shocked.
Stand up where you are.
There are many players who still don’t know that the sequel to “Call of Duty” has been announced. After watching the promotional video, they immediately went to the forum to discuss the sequel to “Dark Souls”.
But as soon as I opened the forum, I called him a good guy.
There are many European and American players who don’t pay attention to e-sports festivals.
But more players are paying attention!
The game "Breakout" has too many fans in Europe and the United States.
At the same time, there are many well-known teams in the two regions. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just the fact that the legendary team Ninjas in Pajamas will appear at the opening ceremony of this project is enough to attract many players who like this game.
These players get up early.
After watching the extremely exciting opening ceremony of the Linmu E-Sports Festival, I watched the opening game that went straight through 30 games and entered the playoffs.
Originally, they were feeling sad because the Ninjas in Pajamas they supported were defeated.
Turning around, Linmu Studio released this year's most anticipated game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"...
then.
Players who think that eSports Festival is just an eSports Festival.
You can imagine the shock and surprise...
Then the promotional video for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is even more palatable.
A complete trailer for the blockbuster movie.
It stimulates players' hormones all the time.
New characters! New environment! New weapons! New enemies!
Who can withstand this!
So just after the game promotional video was aired, European and American players couldn't help but went to the forum to discuss it.
Players who woke up late rushed to the forums excited to see the sequel to Dark Souls.
Then I saw the even more exciting "Mission"
Discussions related to "Call: Modern Warfare 2"...
No need to think about it.
These players immediately started replaying the live broadcast and rewatched the missed opening ceremony of the Linmu E-Sports Festival.
Their original intention was to see the promotional video for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" which has not yet been released separately.
but.
Before they could fast forward, at the beginning of the opening ceremony of the e-sports festival, they heard the song "eillrkyou" that had appeared at the Linmu Carnival, and saw the scene of e-sports players, the audience, and the band singing with all their heart.
I immediately gave up the idea of fast forwarding.
Watched the entire opening ceremony in its entirety...
Therefore, although many European and American players did not get up to watch the live broadcast, due to the sequel of "Call of Duty", there are definitely many players who watched the opening ceremony through replays.
Players who pay attention to the Global Game Awards have basically seen the opening ceremony of the Linmu Esports Festival...
These people had just watched the extremely brilliant opening ceremony of the Linmu E-Sports Festival this morning.
Now let’s watch the Global Game Awards short film…
It does feel very ordinary!
Not only is there no fluctuation in my heart.
Even a little bit like time flies too fast...
Because the meeting for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" will be held in an hour...
Global Game Awards, live broadcast room.
The short video has finished playing...
The Global Game Awards logo appeared on the screen.
Then it stayed briefly for a few seconds.
The live stage screen appears.
Host Madge and Connor walked onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and spoke the opening remarks.
His voice was as deep and infectious as ever.
It just looks like I'm not smiling very happily...
[Hello everyone, welcome to the world to watch the Global Game Awards held at the Los Angeles Theater. I am March Connor. Are you ready to watch the exciting show? 】
"ohh..."
His voice fell.
Scattered cheers rang out.
The cheers this year are much smaller.
March Connor's smile became even more forced...
He knew why, but he couldn't do anything...
The process has already been confirmed.
The sudden death of Lin Mu Studio... left only a dozen hours of reaction time, and it was completely impossible to come up with any countermeasures.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! We can only bite the bullet and hold it as planned.
[Our biggest show ever is coming soon, which is exciting! We will have a lot of news, a lot of surprises, and we will broadcast live on more than 25 platforms around the world.]
【I want to say hello to the viewers around the world who are watching!】
[Hello everyone, get ready to watch the wonderful programs we have prepared for you!]
[There are many awards announced here, as well as game promotional videos that players are eagerly anticipating, and many special guests.]
[Then, let us start the warm-up activities before starting the official program. Last year, a man...]
March Connor suddenly and reluctantly began to speak the opening remarks, and then invited a well-known producer to the stage at the end.
And the largest live broadcast platform in Europe and the United States.
Players see this.
Real-time comment area.
"The much-anticipated game promotional video? Is there a new direct video of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"?"
"Is there a new trailer for Dark Souls 2?"
"It really doesn't work. The new promotional video for "Super Mario: Odyssey" can."
"nothing?"
"Then say Gere!"
"..."
Ohio.
Sibulon sat on the e-sports chair, took a sip of beer, and looked at the real-time comments.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mark...March Connor is so unlucky! Just now
Fortunately, we coincided with the Linmu E-Sports Festival. Players had seen the three new games announced at the Linmu E-Sports Festival in the morning.
These include the much-anticipated "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" and "Dark Souls 2", as well as "Super Mario" that is rarely produced by any company. In Linmu Studio's own words, it pays homage to the old days:
The Odyssey.
Under such circumstances, it is said that the award ceremony will include game promotions that players have been waiting for...how convincing can it be? It's too miserable."
"This is not bad luck."
beside.
Mark, a good friend of Zebulon, shook his head slightly. As a game editor, he knew more about the inside story: "This is the result of joint pressure from Gibber Company. If they don't do extra things, Linmu Studio's
The new game trailer will appear on the scene, and it is really not too much to say that it is highly anticipated.
And now they have squeezed out Linmu Studio... Let’s talk about the much-anticipated game. Gibbs and Dreamland are both big companies, so you can’t say it’s a less-anticipated game, right?”
"Then what if the players don't feel the expectation?"
Zibron chuckled: "After all, the game lineup at Linmu Studio is too strong."
"Hold on."
Mark thought for a while and gave an answer.
at the same time.
The award ceremony scene.
March Connor is really holding on...
After he said that he was highly anticipated, there was very little reaction from the scene. The new games announced at the Linmu E-Sports Festival have a great impact on the Global Game Awards.
But he really can't help it now...
He could only hold on.
A well-known producer of a certain game last year came on stage.
Ma Qiu. Connor began to chat with the other party, and then as usual, prepared to announce the first award of this year-Best Action Game.
[Let’s see which games are nominated for “Best Action Game”]
[The games nominated by fans and judges this year are - "Detective Detective"...]
March Connor's expression was slightly distorted as he read out the first nominated game.
It was "Detective Dee" produced by Linmu Studio last year.
"It's too tragic, it's really too tragic... We are competing with Linmu Studio, but the first award goes to a game from Linmu Studio."
Domestically, many players were watching the live broadcast of the Global Game Awards on the eve of the conference for the new "Call of Duty" game.
I saw the host Madge Connor looking slightly weird.
Many domestic players can’t stand it any longer.
Everyone was laughing.
Then.
I couldn't hold it any longer.
[The game that won the title of 'Best Action Game' is - "Detective Detective"]
The guest producer opened the award letter in his hand and read out the name of the game.
It is Linmu Studio's game "Detective Detective" last year...
Ma Qiu. When Connor heard the name of the game, he was not surprised.
I just feel very dry!
He originally just wanted to compensate Linmu Studio and didn't want to completely offend them, so he mentioned this award.
The action system of "Di Renmu" is indeed excellent enough, and the cold weapon confrontation is eye-catching. It can be said to be innovative.
The award given to this game is well deserved.
But who would have thought...Linmu Esports Festival would be a big one.
It’s really dry...
What's even more outrageous is.
The representative of Linmu Studio came to receive the award, and he was still an unknown person.
The Linmu Studio producers who are familiar to players...are all at the E-Sports Festival and the upcoming new game meeting.
At once.
It hurts.
During the exchange of pleasantries, March Connor's expression changed completely.
This makes domestic players feel embarrassed.
【Linmu Studio...seems a bit inhumane.】
【really.】
[But Linmu Studio really can’t do anything about it, right? 】
A few simple greetings were exchanged.
Madge Connor sent away Linmu Studio
The staff member who accepted the award on his behalf barely cheered up.
[The first award has been announced. Before the next award and the start of the program, we have prepared many surprises for everyone, including the promotional video of Global @.]
[And the game that will be announced soon is the much-anticipated new game "Mobile Force"——Let's take a look at the promotional video of this game. 】
As he finished speaking.
The camera rotates.
Went to the main stage.
On the screen, the iconic trophy of the award ceremony appeared, and then the screen went black briefly.
The game screen appears.
And at this time.
The players reacted.
its not right!
Why don't you follow the routine this year?
In the past, wouldn't the game videos from these major manufacturers be placed at the back as the finale?
Why was it broadcast right after the show started?
Then.
Many players with quick minds looked at the time and understood.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Players who don’t understand have no time to think more.
The promotional video has already been played.
This year, Gibber's latest "Mobile Force" has moved the stage to modern times, and its main focus is...anti-terrorism.
Watch the entire promotional video.
Not to mention it is exactly the same as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
I can only say that it does look very similar...
No matter the style.
Or the character setting.
The promotional video, which lasted only a few minutes, was played quickly.
The reaction from the audience finally got a little better.
If a work becomes popular, it will definitely affect the industry. This is normal.
Gibber's latest "Mobile Force" is indeed a bit like "Call of Duty".
But they have a profound background. If you say they don’t have anything of their own, that would be a lie.
The quality of the promotional video itself is good, and the masterpiece was released right at the beginning of the award ceremony.
It really gave players some surprises.
Therefore, both the live audience and the players on the overseas live broadcast platform are still given face.
...
Global Game Awards, auditorium.
Front row.
Frank looked depressed.
After drinking a few glasses of brandy in the morning, he was still a little drunk and had a splitting headache.
But he still managed to hold himself together, after making sure the camera was not facing him.
I took out my phone and looked at the player reviews.
After seeing the latest work of "Mobile Unit", the response was okay.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the best way he can think of, that is... to move the playing order of his own game's promotional videos forward.
After much thought, he could only do this...
Although March Connor was very dissatisfied with this.
He felt that not to mention the cost of forcibly changing the process, just moving all the major games to the front was very irritating.
grass.
What to do next!?
Linmu Studio is holding a new game meeting. All the promotional videos for the blockbuster games have been aired. What will be used in the second half of the program to attract players?
But Frank doesn't care and can't control it.
He must be in advance anyway!
Because he can only avoid Linmu Studio's new game meeting in order to increase the exposure of his new game.
Moreover, this has another advantage, that is, it can arouse the interest of players, and may prevent players from watching Linmu Studio's new game meeting...
After all, it was a masterpiece from the beginning.
soon.
With applause.
March Connor appeared on the stage again, his smile still forced: "Just now was the promotional video for "Mobile Unit 7: Steel Nightmare". I am now standing with the head of the game studio that produced the sequel. Let's
welcome......"
He looked at a bald man wearing a plaid shirt next to him.
Started platforming and publicity for Gibber's new game.
Then after exchanging a few pleasantries.
A new award has been announced again.
[Now we are about to announce another award, ‘Best Role-Playing Game. Awards, the list of nominated games is as follows – “Detective Sherlock Holmes”...]
This award still goes to Linmu Studio.
When March Connor said the name of the game, he really wanted to sigh.
But endured it.
However, this time it was no longer Linmu Studio that won the award.
It's a Japanese game.
This made March Connor feel a little better.
But after chatting with the award-winning producer.
His heart immediately sank.
Because it’s coming again, the broadcast of a new game...
[Now, before the next awards and program starts, we have another promotional video from Global@ to watch. 】
[This game is a game I have loved for many years, and they contacted me and wanted to share it at the awards ceremony, so let’s take a look.]
March Conapy said with a smile.
Then he waved his hand perfunctorily.
Camera movement.
Aim at the stage again.
The screen lights up.
then.
The promotional video for Fantasy Kingdom's new "Battlefield Smoke" appeared on the screen.
They also focus on modern themes this year... They also focus on counter-terrorism and multi-regional battles.
Domestic live broadcast room.
Players see a new game trailer.
???
It's not that there's something wrong with the game.
Or how unexpected it is.
Mainly I feel shocked.
The Global Game Awards have just started now.
In previous years, weren’t these games played in the middle or at the end?
Why are you so impatient this year?
Are you so afraid of...Linmu Studio's new game meeting?
"Good guy, I call you good guy! Are you just playing battle royale here!?"
"Isn't this a battle royale? It's almost ten o'clock..."
"Hahahaha, Lin Yao has changed the industry!"
"I was stunned...so many great works were thrown out at the beginning."
"Hurry, hurry, they are in a hurry, I am laughing so hard, the game is a battle royale!"
"..."
Domestic players made fun of the awards ceremony in real-time comments.
And overseas audiences also discovered it.
Are the Gilbert Company and Dreamland cowardly?
So the consequences of what they did will soon come out...
By doing this, they can avoid the meeting.
But these are two masterpieces. Just like playing battle royale, when players discuss it, they will easily think of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".
And now...it's almost ten o'clock.
Just ten minutes to go.
The live broadcast of Lin Mu Studio's meet-and-greet has also started, and the ten-minute countdown is in progress.
so.
The promotional video for Fantasy Kingdom has just finished airing.
The popularity of the Global Game Awards live broadcast began to plummet.
Many players ran away...
March Connor stood aside, always wearing a headset, and kept in touch with the backstage staff.
The staff also informed him of the changes in the data.
March Connor was frustrated.
Although I was mentally prepared.
But it’s really too dry…
But he had no choice, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he had no choice but to push himself up to the stage.
Continue to host.
And the auditorium.
Frank glanced at Hawkins not far away.
Hawkins noticed his gaze, and the two looked at each other, but said nothing.
Frank took the time to look at the player feedback again.
good......
Although many players ran away.
But the Global Game Awards
Two masterpieces were smashed at the beginning, and the effect was there.
Some players have already begun to speculate whether there will be bigger surprises in the Global Game Awards...
That’s the rhythm!
Frank looked at his phone and thought to himself.
Although Linmu Studio’s new work meeting is very attractive, the time difference is a small advantage. As long as players can form inertia, they may stay...
But just when Frank thought so.
"Thank you all, we will bring you more good games in the new year..."
On stage.
won the Best Fighting Game Award, and the producer of the host platform reflta gave a speech.
By the way, I advertised my platform.
At the end, he even gave examples of several games: "For example, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2", "Mobile Unit 7: Steel Nightmare"..."
There were only a few minutes left before ten o'clock.
He mentioned it this time.
Many players who hadn't reacted immediately ran away...
Frank was stunned.
Then I looked at the producer of the reflta host platform, and a vein jumped on his forehead.
Almost forgot!
"Call of Duty" is available on all platforms.
And this game...according to the current popularity, it is bound to be a big seller. Although it has just been released as the second game, it can indeed influence these console platforms a little bit.
After all, how many copies of the game are sold, how much money will be drawn.
On stage.
March Connor turned slightly sideways, and couldn't help but cover his forehead even in front of the camera.
He forced a smile and said congratulations.
Then I sent the producer away.
He didn't even try to hide it, he looked serious.
The next thing to be announced is a promotional video for a new game.
Although it is still a masterpiece.
But it is purely a drawing, no gameplay is disclosed, only some prepared scene pictures.
Looks pretty good.
But there is no useful information.
If the bombing continues, players might still be able to stay.
Or you can slowly lay the groundwork, don’t just go for two masterpieces at the beginning, there will be players who will stay because of their expectations.
But now, the first two games are masterpieces by Gibbs and Dreamland, and then there is... a piece of cake.
The feeling of gap came out instantly.
More spectators slipped away...
Because the new game meeting for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has started.
The camera moves away.
March Connor heard the changes in data from the headset.
I couldn't help but hold my head.
grass!
Can you please stop torturing me...
Why are you crowding out Lin Mu Studio?
it's good now.
What to do next?
at the same time.
Linmu Studio’s new game conference has indeed begun.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Yao."
The meeting begins.
No nonsense at all.
Lin Yao held the controller and said hello to the camera, and then in the small window on the other side, there was the start page of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".
Watch the battle.
Linmu Studio doesn't deal with those fictitious things at all... this is a direct demonstration on the real machine!
On one side is a painted cake.
-The side is a real machine.
How to choose?
Players vote with their feet.
"That's a real machine demonstration over there! Come and see it!"
Frank saw such a post on his mobile phone.
Just fell silent.
finally.
It's only been on for ten minutes.
The popularity of the live broadcast of Linmu Studio's new game meet-and-greet surpassed that of the Global Game Awards...
