One of the important shortlisted references will be the first shortlisted data based on the voting status on the Wanwan Internet and the voting status of players participating in the e3 game exhibition.

Originally, Tang Dynasty Network did not do much publicity for the game Counter-Strike before coming to the e3 game exhibition.At most, I mentioned one or two sentences at the last press conference.However, in the past few days, all the performances of Counter-Strike at e3 have been sent to any corner of the world by countless media.On the same day, a piece of news titled "Counter-Strike Competition for the Best Game Award at e3" was high on the top four domestic portals.Moreover, the term "counter-strike" also became the number one during this day.Even with nouns like e3, after Counter-Strike, it is very dazzling.

It wasn't until the players realized what kind of exhibition the e3 game exhibition was for that they were completely shocked.Because from these materials, netizens know clearly.It is basically impossible for a game completely developed by China to win any awards at e3.Even last year, the real-time strategy game "Three Kingdoms", which domestic players had high expectations for, also encountered cold treatment at the e3 game exhibition.

However, since Tangchao Network's Counter-Strike Elite appeared at e3, it has shown the momentum of a peerless dark horse.Not only domestic players are excited, but foreign players are also very excited after seeing this game.According to the analysis released by the authoritative foreign game media "World Game News", the media rated Counter-Strike as the highest score in history, and predicted that this year's e3 best game award will definitely fall to "Tang Dynasty Network" hand.If things go against their wishes, then the authority will doubt the impartiality of the e3 jury.

However, all this is not so perfect.

While everyone is looking forward to Counter-Strike, many media have begun to attack Counter-Strike.

"Counterfeit games can enter the e3 exhibition in a grandiose manner?"

This is a report from Japan's Asahi Shimbun.

In Japan, their views on video games are different from those in China.For a long time, with game companies such as Sony, Nintendo, and Sega, countless Japanese have regarded their electronics industry as the economic pillar of the nation.Japan also attaches great importance to this e3 game exhibition.Whether it is online media or traditional media, the exhibition has been widely reported.

It's just that this year's game show, the Japanese game industry has encountered many challenges.

On the one hand, the addition of "Microsoft" to the hardware console makes Japan no longer the only provider of game consoles.As for the content of the game, Japan, which has always been in the leading position in the past, has now revealed a "Counter-Strike Elite" developed by China.

Microsoft is too strong, and Japan has nothing to do.However, China's Tang Dynasty Network, an online game company that has just been established for less than a year, seems to be able to bully it.Therefore, Japan locked the attack target on the Tang Dynasty network.Almost all the media in Japan swore to discredit the game Counter-Strike.Moreover, they also joined forces with most Japanese game developers and game fans all over the world to give this new counter-strike a big blow.

Facing the ferocious onslaught of the Japanese media, the Chinese media also showed their strength this time.

The game industry, which was originally only marginalized, generally does not enter the mainstream media.However, this time, Japan's nationwide efforts to criticize domestic games made many mainstream media finally angry.

On the same day, Xinhua Daily severely criticized the Japanese media for making empty rumors. The article pointed out that although the game Counter-Strike uses the "Half-Life" game plot, Tang Dynasty Network has completely carried out the game on the basis of Half-Life. innovation.Moreover, when the game was exhibited, William, the boss of Xueleshan Game Company, came to the game exhibition area of ​​Tang Dynasty Network.It can be seen from the picture that William is having a lively conversation with Liu Sichen, the vice president of Tang Dynasty Network.And from the interview, the boss also unreservedly praised the counter-strike elite developed by Tang Dynasty Network, and almost exhausted all the words that can be modified.

And this Mr. William said that as soon as Counter-Strike comes out, I believe that those game companies that are planning to develop the No.1 title-shooter will definitely terminate the plan immediately.Moreover, William is also very worried, maybe after the release of "Counter-Strike", will their Half-Life still be remembered by players?

Afterwards, Xinhua Daily also wrote in the article, "As we all know, although the Japanese game industry is well-developed, but with the development of the world, game technology has been enhanced. More and more games have entered the field of vision of players, and the Japanese side However, it has been stagnant. Now that it meets competitors, it does not do what it wants, and uses the media to suppress it. Take Sega's release of the console three days before Microsoft xbox. From this, it can be seen that Japan A country is actually a small country.

In addition to Xinhua Daily, the Yangcheng Evening News, which cooperates well with Tang Dynasty Information, also opened a special section. This section not only reported the performance of Counter-Strike at the e3 game exhibition, but also prepared a canvassing sponsorship for Counter-Strike.

The annual grand prize has not yet started, and the two countries have fought each other for [-] rounds.

However, no matter what the outside world is like, Tang Dynasty Network, the protagonist of this incident, has never participated in this media battle.However, in just one day, Tang Dynasty Network gave the Japanese media a heavy slap in the face.

According to the news that came from the United States that day, Xueleshan Game Company and Tang Dynasty Network reached a cooperation and purchased the copyright of Counter-Strike's game distribution in the United States.Moreover, after Xueleshan, the game sales rights in Europe were also sold after the end of this exhibition.

The news just broke, and the people of several countries cheered.Nai Ma's cottage, did you see it, this is a cottage?If it's a copycat, will Half-Life's parent company buy Tangchao.com's games?

Not only that, after Tangchao Network signed the contract this time, it also distributed the purchased game engine copyright and Half-Life plot copyright to the lights of the media all over the world.

Facing the overwhelming evidence, the whole world was in an uproar.

The Washington Daily of the United States pointed out that from the anger of the Japanese media, we can see that the Japanese video game industry is facing the invasion of the world.And lead to this farce, can it remind Japan?Only by perfecting one's own game industry can it gain a foothold in the world.That kind of suppression relying on the news media will eventually harm the whole of Japan.

After all, Japanese games are still liked by many gamers.

A fierce media war disappeared in the midst of Tang Chao's Internet operations.But through this hype launched by the Japanese media, the "Counter-Strike" developed by Tang Dynasty Network was spread to the world.After players all over the world learned about this game, they showed countless interest.This kind of enthusiasm is even more fanatical than the Warcraft series and StarCraft series developed by Blizzard back then.

The judges of e3 finally paid attention to this competitive game from the East. It is said that among the current [-] scoring experts, seven of them have become obsessed with Counter-Strike. Maybe they will use this game to evaluate Counter-Strike time, so as to practice their heavy sniper skills.

If you say no, why have several experts evaluated there for more than three hours and have not yet come up with a specific evaluation report?

……

"After the evaluation of our organizing committee, I am very honored to announce to you..."

After many days of evaluation work, the e3 exhibition evaluation team finally conducted a detailed evaluation of more than 400 games provided by more than 1000 manufacturers.

The following is the announcement of the various awards of the e3 game show.

"Winner of Best Action Game Soldier of Destiny."

This is a local game from the United States, and maybe e3 also intends to take care of local games.Despite the mediocre performance of this "Soldier of Destiny", the members of the jury also rated "Soldier of Destiny" as the best action game.

"Best rpg game, The Elder Scrolls."

The Elder Scrolls was elected as the best rpg game, and it deserves its name.

……

Subsequently, the e3 organizing committee moved several awards.

What is the best game music award, the best visual effect award... the whole thing is the same as the Oscar ceremony.

"The last award, I know, everyone must be looking forward to it. However, before I opened the envelope, I didn't know..."

The no1 of the jury made a lot of fuss, and took the opportunity of the last grand prize to deliver a personal emotional speech.Fortunately, this boss has a good grasp of the heat. When everyone could bear it, he finally returned to the topic, "Next, I will announce to you the list of nominations for the "Best Game" of this year."

He slowly opened the envelope, looked at the name on it, and revealed a smile as expected, "There are five nominations for the best game of the year, one for Final Fantasy X..."

"House of the Dead 3."

"resident Evil."

"Silent Hill 2."

"There is also a Counter-Strike from China."

So, which of these five games will be the best game award of the year?

Before the judge finished speaking, thousands of players in the audience shouted, "Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike..."
