Chapter 205: Breaking the rules and giving Golden Wind a spot
"Give and take things in their own way. I like this ending."
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean.
The office of the chief department head of the public utilities department is on the 32nd floor of the International Data Corporation (IDC) office building.
Chief Supervisor Jimmy Lawrence was slacking off and watching PEW's live broadcast.
Pew, who had just experienced a life-and-death escape, has now escaped from the doctor's pursuit!
Not only did he escape, he also killed the doctor!
Just now, Pew took the key from the duty room and ran away.
He ran into the elevator before the doctor caught up with him.
I originally thought that this exciting and tense chase had come to an end.
But unexpectedly, when the doctor saw that he couldn't catch up with him, he actually followed the hidden passage and went directly to the next floor of the elevator to wait for him!
Just as the elevator passed the second floor, the doctor directly pulled open the fence door of the old elevator and rushed in to kill Pew.
During the fight between the two men, the doctor was so engrossed in the fight that he ignored the elevator going down. While swinging the scissors, half of his body was pushed out of the elevator.
So!
With a crunch!
The descending elevator crushed the doctor across the waist, as if a pair of large scissors had cut him in half.
Cause and effect will always come in a cycle.
The doctor cuts off Miles' fingers with a pair of scissors, and Miles cuts off the doctor's body with an elevator.
The ending, which seemed like a retribution of reincarnation, made Jimmy nod repeatedly.
I have to admit it.
Although this is a horror game with excitement as its theme.
However, in terms of plot control, Golden Wind still strives for excellence.
Whether it's those fragmented notes and report sheets scattered everywhere like puzzle pieces.
It's still a cutscene setting that's like a cycle, full of hints and coincidences.
From Titanfall to PT, from going to the moon to escaping.
In every game, Golden Wind strives to tell a good story in its own way.
And among them.
Whether it's the 'Trial by Fire' in Titanfall, the 'Hole in the Wall Murder' in PT, the 'We'll Meet on the Moon' in To the Moon, or the 'Cause and Effect' in Escape Now.
Almost every scene has a cinematic feel.
Even in Jimmy's opinion, if the Golden Wind game can be adapted into a movie, the producers don't even need to modify the game script.
Because whether it is the storyboard or the lines, whether it is the plot structure or the narrative technique.
Golden Wind's game already has the texture of a big-screen movie.
Watching it!
Knock knock knock——
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Jimmy responded, but did not turn off the live broadcast. Instead, he leaned back in the boss chair and looked towards the door.
A female assistant with orange hair appeared at the door:
"Director Lawrence, Mr. Brown is here for a visit."
"Oh, okay, come in." Jimmy waved his hand to signal his assistant to bring Brown in.
moment.
A man with curly hair wearing a T-shirt, a leather jacket, and overalls walked in, chewing gum.
Will Brown.
He is the director of the joint development division of United Business Media (UBM), and is about the same age as Jimmy, about thirty-six or thirty-seven.
"Coffee, thank you,"
Will flirted with the female assistant and walked into Jimmy's office with his hands in his pockets. He tilted his head to look at Jimmy's screen:
"Hey Jimmy! You were watching Twitch at work again! I caught you!"
“This is my job,”
Jimmy was not in a hurry, and did not look flustered at all. Instead, he found a comfortable position and put his hands behind his head:
"You are the one who is slacking off and coming to my place to drink coffee during work hours. Is your company going to go bankrupt?"
"Haha, what a coincidence,"
Will laughed and sat next to Jimmy:
"I'm here to work, too."
"Then let's talk about work!"
Jimmy stretched himself, took the coffee handed to him by the female assistant, thanked her, and said:
"How is it? Has your direct invitation list come out?"
"It's almost the same, it's the same old thing anyway."
Will nodded:
"What about you, have you chosen the venue?"
"Do I need to choose?"
Jimmy shrugged:
"It's still the same as before. The press conference will be held online, and the offline exchange meeting will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center."
"So nothing has changed?"
Will took a sip of coffee:
"Same location, same format, same invited guests, everything went according to plan and was in line with the rules."
However, before he could finish his words.
Then Jimmy said, "Maybe not."
"not necessarily?"
Hearing this, Will looked at Jimmy:
“What ideas do you have?”
"Not me,"
Jimmy shook his head and asked:
“Who are the Chinese on the direct invitation list this time?”
"Just... the same old stuff, you know,"
Will shrugged and said:
"Guangyao, Zhenting, Nuyan, and one temporary vacancy, we are also in the process of drafting a new one."
"Don't draft it,"
Jimmy waved his hand:
"Maybe we can just give it to GW, GoldenWind."
"GW? You mean the Golden Wind? That's what we were discussing before."
Hearing this name, Will smacked his lips in embarrassment:
"But the problem is that their size...is not even 200 million dollars..."
"Oh, oh, oh, Brown, my brother,"
Hearing this, Jimmy Lawrence frowned slightly and looked at Will Brown:
"That's not something you would say. When have you ever looked at the size of a company? Isn't the change GW has brought to the gaming industry enough to support its inclusion in this meeting?"
"Uh...I didn't say that,"
Will quickly waved his hands, indicating that he would not take the blame:
"If I were to customize the list, I would pass half of these participating companies."
"But... you know, that's the rule at UBM."
"Then break its rules!"
Jimmy waved his hand, signaling Will not to be so formal:
"Just like Golden Wind is always seeking breakthroughs, we should not always stick to inviting those big companies,"
"after all--"
“Our conference is called the [Global Game Developers Conference]”
"Instead of a world-class game manufacturer exchange meeting!"
good!!!
The "conference" that Jimmy Lawrence and Will Brown were discussing just now was the annual "Global Game Developers Conference"!
The Global Game Developers Conference, also known as Game Developers Conference, is abbreviated as GDC.
It is the largest and most influential professional gaming exchange conference in the global gaming industry.
It is an important meeting for all kinds of game developers to communicate, learn, inspire inspiration and have interpersonal exchanges.
It is also an important meeting where programmers, artists, sound effects, planners and other professionals gather together to exchange experiences and ideas and define the future of the industry!
The organizers of this global developer gaming event are IDC, where Lawrence works, and UBM, where Will Brown works.
now!
There is still more than a month until the meeting.
It is also time for them to notify all invited manufacturers and announce the list of participants.
"You also said, Will, there is a vacancy for China now,"
Jimmy said:
"I will not suggest a replacement list to you if there is no vacancy,"
"But now, since we have this vacancy, why can't we give Golden Wind a chance?"
"You know, whether it's the previous "PUBG", "TitanFall", or the later ".T"
"It's because of the platform and people willing to give them opportunities to showcase their talents that they have brought surprises to the gaming community time and time again,"
"Nowadays, as our GDC is gradually being held, the topics and ideas are becoming increasingly rigid, and at this time, we need an injection of young blood,"
"For example, this—"
"The future development prospects and shaping methods of cinematic games"
"Doesn't that sound good?"
hiss--!!!
Hear this!
Will's eyes lit up involuntarily!
"Is this... the speech topic that Golden Wind submitted to you?"
"This is just my own imagination,"
Jimmy laughed:
"I don't know anyone from Golden Wind, and they don't know me either. Why would they report the topic to me for no apparent reason? I just... saw this."
Talking.
Jimmy pointed to his computer screen.
"Look, I'm not kidding," Jimmy said with a smile, "I'm really working."
"Um--"
Hearing this!
Will also looked at the screen, as if pondering Jimmy's previous topic in his mind.
Jimmy's reminder suddenly reminded him of the collaboration between Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures in "TTF".
It can be said that no one is more suitable than Golden Wind for the speech topic proposed by Jimmy .
and!
Now that the era of somatosensory cabins has arrived, the two forms of cultural entertainment, movies and games, seem to have indeed entered an era of blurred boundaries.
Think of this.
Will also turned his eyes to the computer screen and started 'working' with Jimmy.
…
There were lightning, thunder, strong winds and heavy rain.
Pew stood outside the inpatient building of Jushan Psychiatric Hospital, looking disheveled in the wind.
When the doctor asked him if he wanted to go for a walk outside, he nodded repeatedly, thinking he could be free again.
But now, when he was actually standing in the howling wind, he realized that he might as well have stayed in the hospital.
"Fuck... this is..."
“It’s too dark!!!”
I can't see anything!
The wind is blowing coldly and the rain is roaring!
This is the back garden of the hospital.
According to the priest's instructions, Pew needs to go through the back garden and find him at the church.
The priest seemed to have prepared some mysterious ceremony, which required Pew to be a 'witness', and promised that as long as he went, he could get a way out of the hospital.
Superstitious.
But now, it seems that I have no choice.
Pew took a breath and walked out of the hospital.
In the heavy rain, the DV's field of view became increasingly short and blurry.
Only when lightning flashes can you barely see the road ahead.
Walking through the dense bushes, Pew first found the door leading to the church.
Sure enough, the door was chained and he had to find the key.
As for the key, you need to go through the back garden and look for it in the tool room on the other side.
Cursing Sam inwardly for being the pure torturer, Pew turned stiffly and walked towards the small garden with heavy steps.
Rumble——Crack——
There was heavy rain and bursts of lightning.
Pew held the DV and took advantage of the light of lightning to observe the garden at the end of the corridor.
There was no one in sight.
Step… step… step…
The wet footsteps made an unsettling sound as they stepped on the path.
We were about to enter the garden.
And at this moment.
Swoosh—boom—click!!!
Lightning streaked across the night sky again!
And in this instant!
Suddenly!
A dark figure appeared in Pew's DV camera!
Like a hanging god or a silent evil spirit, at this moment, it is floating in the small garden at the end of the corridor!
It was like a ball of black mist wrapped around the skeleton.
The dark figure had no legs, and looked like a phantom floating in the air. In its eye sockets, a flickering green light was staring at him.
"Ward...Ward hair!!!"
Pew just felt his scalp tingling and his hair was about to stand up!
Seeing the shadow coming towards him, he ran away!!!
Ask soul-searching questions while running!
“Isn’t this a fucking mental hospital?”
"What does this ghost floating in the air mean?"
"This is totally unscientific! And if it wasn't for the night vision DV, I wouldn't be able to see it at all... Wait!!!"
As Pew temporarily escaped from the pursuit of the black shadow, he opened the church door with the key.
A light bulb went off in his mind!
Science... Shadows... Invisible to the naked eye...
hiss--!!!
A moment!
All the fragmented information collected before was pieced together.
Pew just felt a chill down his spine!
"That's... Valred!!!"
No wonder the Mukov Group is spending huge amounts of money to research this project!
After seeing the Valred lineup, the motivation behind all this gradually surfaced!
"Fuck! Fuck!!!"
Pew couldn't believe his own reasonable guess!
I can't believe the bold conception of this game!
"Damn it! The Murkov Group is actually creating ghosts!!!"
A moment!
The pressure is on!
From this moment on!
Valred is like a shadow ghost, following you everywhere!
Moreover, it is different from all the monsters encountered before!
Under normal conditions, it is completely invisible!
Not to mention the difficulty and fear level are further increased!
To make matters worse, on the way to the top of the church, in order to escape pursuit, Miles accidentally dropped his DV as arranged by the plot!
A group of players watched helplessly as their 'real father' rolled from the third floor to the second floor, and then fell into the first floor through the gap in the second floor floor.
So!
The players had to endure tremendous pressure and grope their way into the first floor in the dark. While avoiding the attacks of the ghost Valred, they trudged forward and backward to retrieve their precious DV camera!
Along the way!
The players’ curses were so harsh!
Gu Sheng probably has never been scolded by so many people at the same time in his life!
In each live broadcast room, there are birds singing, flowers blooming, and the language of Cybertron is everywhere!
The players used almost all the bad words they could think of to describe Gu Sheng!
But fortunately!
After experiencing all the thrilling twists and turns along the way!
The players finally arrived at the chapel at the top of the church.
And here!
Father Martin, who was both good and evil, had already hung himself on the cross...
