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

Chapter 126: Speed ​​through the lion and ape?

TGS Summer Show is the second largest game show in the world after the American E3 Game Show, and its influence is huge.

This is a good thing, but also a difficulty.

Huge influence can bring huge amounts of attention, but competitors are also stronger!
  But this is still a good thing!

With the gathering of masterpieces, players will pay more attention to this exhibition, which is equivalent to making the cake bigger!
  But the prerequisite for having the cake is...
  "We have to fight our way out among these powerful enemies!"

Sitting in the exhibition hall of "Sekiro/Diver Dave" and drinking oolong tea, Fuyukawa Che's eyes kept scanning the exhibition halls of several other large game manufacturers, thinking quietly in his mind, but compared to his calmness , the emotions of the women next to him were a lot more uneasy.

Fortunately, Miyano Miwa is an elite in the industry and has a strong and confident personality. At this time, she can still sit and drink tea stably.

Sayoko was a little nervous, and she went back and forth with Aunt Nogi and Kawaguchi Nona to check the computer used for the trial. As for Izumi Himawari, this little guy with some social fears is currently holding flyers at the entrance of the exhibition hall to solicit customers.

No way, the flow of people in the "Sekiro/Diver Dave" exhibition hall is too small compared to several other exhibition halls in the first area.

Yes, there is very little foot traffic!
  "Sekiro/Diver Dave" is a new IP, and he is famous for Fuyukawa Cheru
  Although "I'm Surrounded by Beauties" and "The Binding of Isaac" both sold more than 5 million units, making him a lot of money, it was still not enough to support his popularity.

You must know that the game industry is different from the entertainment industry. Game producers generally work behind the scenes and do not do any character promotion. Therefore, game producers who can basically gain a lot of popularity through their personal fame are Hideo Kojima and Hide Miyazaki. A person of the level of Gao and Hydra Mikami Shinji!
  Hideo Kojima created the Metal Gear Solid series, Hidetaka Miyazaki created the Souls-based gameplay, and Shinji Mikami is the father of Resident Evil!
  The current Fuyukawa Cheru is still very far away from these monsters standing on the altar. With his personal reputation, he can't attract any players to come over. This desolate scene was also seen by Nobi, the boss of Demon King Brave Legend on the opposite side.

Minister Nobi didn't even come over to provoke him. Killings in the workplace are always done without blood.

He just looked here with disdain. When he found that Fuyukawa Che looked at him calmly and continued to drink oolong tea, he frowned in displeasure and disdain, "Hey, pretending to be calm? Let's see how long you can keep pretending!"

He didn’t speak, he just complained in his heart. But after complaining and looking at the difference in the flow of people in the two exhibition halls, Minister Nobi felt very happy and even started to think about how to launch a cannon at the company conference after the exhibition!
  Fuyukawa Che felt his gaze, and so did Miyano Mitei.

Miyano Meiwa frowned slightly, "This guy, it seems that if he gets the upper hand today, things will be a little troublesome later on."

Dongchuan Che shook his head, took a sip of oolong tea, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, this is probably the last chance for him to look directly at me."

"A chance to look you in the face?"

Miyano Miwa was stunned at first, but soon she understood the meaning of the words.

Looking at Fuyukawa Che's confident face and the empty exhibition hall, she rolled her eyes appreciatively but unhappily, and shook her head with a smile: "You are such a conceited man."

"I'm just stating a fact."

Dongchuan Che smiled and shrugged, and at this moment.

"Dear visitors, the new game trailers for this summer's Tokyo Game Show will be played on the big screens in each district in five minutes. The games on the big screens in each district correspond to the game exhibition halls in that district. This video will be played in a loop. Tourists can visit with confidence. At the same time, there is also a collection of promotional videos for all exhibition areas on the big screen in the square, and interested tourists can go and watch it on their own.”

The sweet sound of the broadcast came from the dome of the venue, and the promotional video of the new game was about to be played, or to be more precise, this TGS Summer Exhibition was finally about to officially begin!
  For a moment, the crowd in the entire venue was excited!

Countless tourists followed the guide book to find their favorite game area and went to watch the promotional video. As an area where masterpieces gather, the flow of people was once again overwhelming!
  Not only did the tourists get excited, major game manufacturers also immediately sent cosplayers to the bottom of the big screen!
  The entire first area became lively in an instant, and in the lively atmosphere where everyone went to the big screen, Fuyukawa Che finally stood up from his seat and looked at Miyano Miwa, "It's time to start."

"OK, it's finally here."

Miyano Miwa smiled and nodded, then took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, while instructing Kawaguchi and others to turn on the computer!
  Yes, power on!
  Everyone else ran to watch the promotional video, but Fuyukawa Che didn't care about the promotional video!

Or to be more precise, Fuyukawa Che had no intention of relying on promotional videos to make a name for himself!
  For the game Sekiro, although the screen has been reset and the gameplay has been increased, the gameplay is difficult to see directly on the screen. Although the screen has been reset, it is still difficult to watch in these big European and American productions that often cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Good luck!

Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses is a must!

And how to grow? !
  Fuyukawa Che's approach is very simple, that is to invite heavyweight game anchors and reviewers from all over the world to participate in offline trials!
  Or even speaking of it, why were the advertising posters Izumi Himawari saw at the door and the fan fans she got not very promotional for "Sekiro" and "Diver Dave"?
  It’s because he spent a lot of publicity resources on renting venues and inviting game anchors!

Not to mention the venue, I wanted to rent a venue that could accommodate twenty or thirty machines at an exhibition as big as TGS, so I spent more than half of Sekiro’s early publicity expenses, and basically spent the rest. We are going to invite offline trial players!

Don’t think that inviting big anchors and evaluators is cheap!
  If it’s Black Myth Wukong, then it’s really cheap to invite anchors and Internet celebrities, and it doesn’t even cost money, because they can absorb the popularity from Black Myth Wukong. It’s a win-win situation, but “Sekiro” is a new IP, and it doesn’t have the same [The first domestic 3A] gimmick
  Inviting them to come from all over the world, not to mention advertising costs, even air tickets and accommodation expenses are all included!

It costs a lot to rent a venue and hire a host, but it all has a purpose!
  Sekiro has become popular not only because Sekiro's knife fighting mode is easier to understand for all players, but also looks more exciting than the previous Dark Souls, but also because players "know" that Sekiro is difficult!
  Because it is difficult, you will feel awesome when you see the wonderful operations, and only when you feel awesome will players spontaneously discuss this combat mode!
  Let players know that "Sekiro" is difficult. This is a very critical first step!
  The promotional video cannot allow players to intuitively see the difficulties. If you don’t understand the difficulties of the soul system, you will not understand the awesome operations. Therefore, there must be a narration to explain, and there is no narration better than game anchors, and some famous European and American players. The reviews from big game reviewers are more useful!

Popularity, gameplay introduction, and discussion!

These are the three things Fuyukawa Che has to do at this game show, and these three things are perfectly compatible with anchors and game reviewers!
  Soon, under the curious gaze of many peripheral game manufacturers, Kawaguchi led a large team of game reviewers and anchors into the "Sekiro" exhibition hall and started playing with the camera!

"A generous gift crab, Joseph? They actually invited this guy?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are they spending all their publicity resources on live broadcasts? As the head anchor of combat game analysis on YouTube, Joseph costs a lot of money for a live broadcast."

"Of course, we collaborated with him on a video before and he paid us US$20,000 for ten minutes!"

"It's really expensive, but his effect is indeed good. I looked at the company's statistics. Basically, hard-core combat players in Europe who watch YouTube will pay attention to his videos, but his style is very real, even if he pays , he will point out the shortcomings without hesitation when he sees them. If you invite this guy to try out a DEMO, don’t shoot yourself in the foot.”

"It's not just Joseph. The Asian Valkyrie Bingyu is also here! I've seen her videos before, and her operations are very sharp. She has tutorials for completing almost all top action games on the market without any injuries!"

"Bingyu? Oh, I know, I know. I've seen her videos before. Her playing style is very fierce and she likes to suppress BOSS! She is also very venomous. Every time she clears the BOSS without any damage, she will complain about the abilities of current game producers. No, I can’t make an awesome BOSS. No, no! I’ll watch the promotional video later, I want to watch their demo!”

"Holy shit! Lou Benwei?! Damn it, I see Lou Benwei here?! Brothers, all stand up!!!"

TGS Summer Show is the second largest game show in the world after the American E3 Game Show, but strictly speaking, TGS and E3 target different groups of people.

E3 is the largest, but it is mainly targeted at game manufacturers and retail channels, so the E3 exhibition is more like a business summit, while TGS is a game exhibition completely oriented to gamers!

As tourists who are willing to attend game exhibitions in person, even if they cannot remember the foreign names of several big anchors in the game circle, they still have some impressions after seeing their appearance.

As a large group of game anchors entered the "Sekiro" exhibition hall, colleagues at first made rational analysis, but soon, because it was located in the first area, the flow of people was very large, and many tourists also recognized these anchors!

The promotional video is played on a loop, but the demo of "Sekiro" is only one and a half hours long! Soon, under the gazes of many colleagues [Wow], under the still calm gazes of Fuyukawa Teru and Miyano Miwa, and under the surprised and expectant gazes of Sayoko, Izumi Himawari and others, countless tourists were in the "Sekiro" exhibition hall The front is shunted!
  Some of them still went to watch the promotion, and more came to the "Sekiro" exhibition hall. However, due to the tight availability of seats, many tourists were unable to try it out and could only watch it from the outside. It was obvious that they had planned to use the anchor to do it. Publicity, Fuyukawa Che also did a good job of supporting the work!

Soon, Kawaguchi and Nogi led a group of employees to bring in more than a dozen ROG monitors mounted on mobile stands, and each monitor directly broadcast the pictures and explanations of these trials!

"This time, it's all thanks to you."

Seeing more and more people in front of the exhibition hall, the excitement in Fuyukawa Che's eyes became stronger and stronger. He turned his head and praised Miyano Miwa with a smile.

Hearing his words, Miyano Miwa smoothed her short hair and smiled coquettishly: "Sister, when I was working in this industry, you were still breastfeeding."

"You guy."

Obviously, the situation is starting to improve now, and Miyano Miwa's mood is gradually relaxing and she is starting to play tricks.

It was rare to see her look like this. Fuyukawa Che shook his head with a smile. At this time, Miyano Miba, who had his hands wrapped under the snowy mountain, turned around and smiled: "However, although the equipment and venue personnel are all here, this time Whether you can succeed as a [wolf] depends on whether you have fun doing it, otherwise"

"I see."

The battle is so big, if the game is not accepted by players, it will directly turn into a car accident!
  And will the soul system be accepted by players in this world?
  "We'll see!"

Dongchuan Che secretly clenched his fists.

Soon, as the recording facilities were completed, major anchors in the exhibition hall also started live broadcasting.
.
  "OK, good afternoon everyone, this is Joseph's channel. As you can see, I am participating in an offline trial of the game in Chiba City, Tokyo.

Yes, Tokyo Game Show, Japan. It has been several years since I last came here, but this time I was invited by the manufacturer and flew here specially. The game I want to try out today is called "Sekiro". According to the game manufacturer, this is a 'souls' game. "

Wearing headphones and holding a handle, Joseph, who had a long hair and a big beard, stood in front of the computer, unconsciously pulling the buttons to move the handle while talking to the live broadcast notebook next to him.

Obviously, as soon as the uncommon word "soul" came out, various question marks immediately appeared on the barrage.

"Wow, man, you ran really far."

"Soul type? What is that? (Curious)"

"A Japanese game? Did they give the turn system a new name? (Doge)"

"Does it mean that players have to use their soul state to fight? Cool, I've wanted to be a ghost that can't be discovered by women for a long time! (Sex)"

Barrages were flying all over the place. Joseph looked at the reading screen and glanced at Fuyukawa Che who was walking through the trial hall. He smiled and said: "Of course it's not ghost or turn-based. This game is developed by NTsoft's Light Bird Studio. Production, the game producer is Fuyukawa Teru, the guy who made The Binding of Isaac.”

"Isaac's producer?! HOOOOOOOO! Really fake! His new work will be released so soon?!"

"Is this another meat pigeon game? But there is no need for offline trials of meat pigeon games."

"Madefak! Tell him to throw away this "Sekiro" immediately and make me Isaac's DLC!"

""Sekiro" ×, "The Binding of Isaac DLC" √."

As soon as the name The Binding of Isaac came out, many players understood who Fuyukawa Che was, and all kinds of barrages suddenly increased.

Looking at the barrage, Joseph smiled and said: "I know you want to play Isaac's DLC, and so do I, but now let's experience the DEMO of this game. What? Type? Well, I had a few chats with Mr. Fuyukawa, He classified this game as 'soul-based', but from his description, this game focuses on high-difficulty combat."

"High-difficulty battle?! Oh Mai Borther, I like games with high-difficulty battles! Let me see how difficult it is! (Excited)"

"Before every action game is released, they will say that their BOSS station is very exciting, but it turns out that most of them are not. (Tibetan Fox)"

"With Joseph's gaming ability, Mr. Fuyukawa will probably be slapped in the face soon. (Doge)"

"Complete the level in ten minutes! I'll give you a reward! Come on Joseph! (Come on!)"

Hearing that it was a high-difficulty battle, the barrage area immediately became excited again. Looking at these barrages, the corner of Joseph's mouth also raised an arc unconsciously. He is a professional game reviewer, but he is not only good at analyzing game mechanics, but also has strong operational skills. When he was young, he often played guide games. District, teach newbies how to fight BOSS.

Now I'm fighting BOSS again, this is my old job!
  Joseph was very confident. He pushed and pulled the handle knob with some excitement, "OK, finally entered the game. Now you can see that this trial version has three levels. The first level is the Ghost Punishment Department, and the second level is the Fire Ox. The third level is the lion ape, which one do you think is better to fight first?"

"The Ghost Punishment Department sounds very powerful, so let's leave it behind!"

"This producer is being cautious! He wants to put the most difficult BOSS in front to suppress us, so that the level of the BOSS behind him can be easily concealed!"

"That makes sense! Fight the lion ape first! This guy's name sounds cute, so just fuck him!"

"Lion Ape +1!"

"How long do you think it will take for Joseph to clear the level?"

"Three bosses, half an hour."

Barrage flying around, and seeing these barrages, Joseph also controlled the controller to come to the option of "Lion Ape", "OK, let's fight the Lion Ape first. Other friends don't need to be too entangled, this trial has one and a half Hours are enough for me to pass everything.”

Speaking confidently, Joseph pressed the OK button, and as the screen turned dark and brightened again, a huge white ape that was autistic on the edge of the cliff appeared in front of him and his friends in the live broadcast room.

"A big BOSS? This kind of boss is usually just big!"

"Speed ​​pass!"
