Chapter 406 Game Exhibition (2)

The acquisition of Blizzard from Activision was not really an advantage for Starstar, because Blizzard had a lot of debts, which was also a headache for Mike at the time. New projects needed funds to start, but the debts made the new projects slow. For Blizzard It is a very headache, but after the acquisition of Xingchen, it directly repaid all the debts, so it can be said that Mike and the others let go of their hands and feet to do things.

This is something that didn’t happen at Activision, because Activision’s control over Blizzard is too great, and Mike has no right to delay the approval of new game funds, but Xingchen is not the same. With a lot of people and technology in place, Blizzard is just a company that squeezes profits for Activision and doesn't really pay attention to what Blizzard has mastered.

Compared with the "Call of Duty" series under Blizzard Activision, which is the real big money sucker, it can be said that it has directly swept the global game industry, but this is not the case now. After the appearance of "Cosmic Wars", they were hit, because according to the game With the development of the industry as a whole, Activision is indeed behind Xingchen. For example, Xingchen dared to be Activision when shooting a TV series, but it dared not do it.

Although there are many versions of "Call of Duty", there are really no TV series and movies on the screen, which puts their competitiveness at a very disadvantaged position from the very beginning. It is not brains for Xingchen to announce investment in TV series so decisively Fever, Xiaoxing has done an analysis on this. If he does not invest in the production of TV series or movies, "Call of Duty" will not affect Blizzard Entertainment.

Because now the major game companies are changing ways to get publicity. The most direct publicity is TV dramas and movies. This has been very well explained from the "World of Warcraft" movie. It was a blow, but the key is that without the technology of the stars, the king suddenly found that the film and television production instrument is still very useful, at least not for decoration.

At that time, he thought that the film and television production equipment was just for display, but he did not expect to achieve such a great success. For him, this event will really surprise many people. Of course, he is also ready to face many people at the game exhibition. On the first day of the three-day game exhibition, Wang Shang got up early to wash up, changed his clothes, and took Wang Yi and Wu Ming to the game exhibition site.

Many players appeared in COS. It seems that they are all experienced game fans. Many of them appeared in fancy clothes, and the live activities were also very popular. It can be seen from the fact that major companies are changing ways to attract players. This time it was all arranged. When Wang Shang came to Blizzard's booth, Mike was already making preparations. One hundred machines were prepared on site for players to experience.

It can be seen that he cares more than anyone else, and the king felt relieved when he saw him arrange this way, "How is it, the preparations are not bad?" He asked, Mike smiled and said that there is no problem with the preparations, because the game The exhibition has a time for major companies to announce their games, and Blizzard is the third day, which is also the finale time. Wang Shang did not expect the organizing committee to be so embarrassing as the finale.

"Can it work?" The king was a little uncertain, Mike smiled, "Of course the boss has no problem, because the finale is a good thing for us Blizzard, and we can see that "World of Warcraft" is still very marketable by looking at our technology. Just to announce some new games, the real time for old games is tomorrow and the day after tomorrow when you will see the competition between major companies.”

Wang Shang smiled wryly, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, but it can be seen that all major companies attach great importance to this game exhibition, and don't want to miss the opportunity of external publicity, after all, the game market is huge, just look at the big game companies to know how to seize it Players are very important to them, as long as there are players, the game will naturally attract attention, so they will not miss any opportunity to promote themselves.

Looking at these problems is a headache for the king, but seeing that Mike and the others have already made preparations, he is not worried, because Blizzard's high-level executives are here, and seeing that there are many Blizzard players, obviously preparing a hundred machines is not enough Yes, "Mike prepared two hundred machines to allow more people to participate. One hundred machines is obviously too small. If you look at the number of players outside, you will know that one hundred machines is too small."

Mike followed his gaze and looked over. He didn't expect that there would be so many players in front of Blizzard's booth. Although everyone was ready, he also felt that [-] units was really too little. He directly called and transferred another [-] units. The computer allows players to experience, and of course the staff has also increased. Blizzard employees will also be here today. It can be said that they attach great importance to this game exhibition.

The king didn't expect to attract so many people before it started. It seems that the game is really popular. I thought that "World of Warcraft" could not keep up with this era, but I didn't expect that it could attract so many people after it really kept up with this era. Of course, the players who came to participate are all in their 20s and 30s. It seems that the age of the players is relatively old, which can be said to be surprising and envied by many companies.

They did not expect that "World of Warcraft" could attract so many people. For everyone, Blizzard must be the most attractive thing this time, because the new technology introduced by the stars has greatly improved the game, which is beyond the reach of many companies. Place, think about it, can a company that can develop "Cosmic Wars" be underestimated?Seeing Blizzard's actions, many people feel helpless is really annoying.

One hundred computers is enough, but I didn't expect to increase them. Is this trying to become a target?How does this make other game companies at the game show think?But seeing the king at the scene, everyone had no idea. This guy was unambiguous when he caused trouble. He knew from looking at the mobile phone. He didn't have any scruples and just followed his own way.

But these games have to worry about myself. Wang Shang smiled when he saw many people paying attention to Blizzard's booth, "Xiao Xing, do you think they want to hack us?" Xiao Xing said with a smile: "It is impossible to say that there is no , but they are dealing with their own affairs without any action, but they have absolutely no ability to black us, and the strength of Xingchen is not something they can do."

This is true, because if there is a cooperative existence, if it is really dark, then it is completely unnecessary for them to gain more than they lose. It's addictive to cause trouble, but now it's good, at least there is no trouble. After all, some industries of Xingchen have indeed affected the interests of some industries in Tangzhoubei.

It would be weird if they could greet each other with a smile, but this also shows that Xingchen really doesn't need to look at Tianchi's face to act. It is very important for them to get some cooperation. Of course, whether the king agrees or not is another matter. Anyway, he himself has no pressure.

With the progress of the game show, the time is coming soon. At the beginning, many players began to line up to enter the arena. The first thing that attracted players was Blizzard. The remake of "World of Warcraft" made them very excited. The scene provided a lot With machines and accounts, everyone can experience the fun of team battle dungeons. It can be said that this classic return has left many players dumbfounded and did not expect Blizzard to really do this.

Of course, each person has another 10 minutes of experience time, so I started to form a group to play a copy from the very beginning. For the new "World of Warcraft" tactics and booths, there is no one, nor is it a stand-up output. It must rely on flexible Positioning and tactics, any tactics are useful, and the difficulty has also been improved. The intelligence of the boss makes the game more playable. In short, you can pass if you think of a way.

Of course, the experience time of 10 minutes is not enough to satisfy the players. The king watched them wipe out five times in 10 minutes. The best time was to play for 5 minutes, which can be said to be very helpless. If you don't dodge in time, the skills are not in time, but the players are always thinking about different tactics to pass the first boss. For them, how to fight the boss is full of infinite fun.

Of course, the king also saw that the players had a lot of ideas. It can be said that many tactics are good, but due to the team's reason, they didn't clear the level, and the 10 minutes passed quickly. Next, a professional team came on the field, and specially organized 200 people. They came to participate in the game exhibition, which made many people exclaim when they appeared on the stage. It seems that it is very rare for them to challenge a very well-known trade union.

It can be seen that their tactics are very good. They passed the first and second bosses directly, but the third boss is not good. It is already very good to reach the third boss in more than ten minutes, and it is still a very popular copy of Haishan. , It’s just that everyone has been tested in the third boss. There are no restrictions on the equipment, because the equipment provided by Blizzard is the best.

However, the group was still wiped out by the BOSS, which made many players sigh, but soon regrouped to start the second attack. It can be seen that such a professional union is still very good, but the second time is worse than the first group. It made them very speechless. I didn't expect it to be so fast. In fact, everyone saw that it was not that the boss was difficult to fight, but that everyone reacted slowly when moving and avoiding skills.

If they can dodge in time, they can definitely pass, but it’s a pity that they have to go to the end after 10 minutes. This will not start to continue queuing, but the players on the scene appealed for them to pass the level. This is not what the king told Mike to let them continue Go on, he still wants to see how the player breaks the boss and the dungeon, he can't come to a game show and get nothing, right?
This has a very important meaning to him.
