Chapter 250: Explosion! The sound of iron hammering in the stadium!
Ginza! Ikebukuro! Shibuya! Akihabara!
Overnight, Sekiro appeared in all major shopping districts in Tokyo!
Although there are not many in number, the positions they occupy are more eye-catching than the other!
Especially!
When the vertical poster of "Sekiro" appeared on the video game building invested by Konami!
All players around the world were stunned by this shocking scene!
'?'
"Oh my god, I saw Sekiro hanging under the KONAMI sign..."
"Wardfa...?"
"What the hell is this? NTR?"
"No... to be honest this is too outrageous!"
"Oh - I understand! The yellow in Xiao Huang is the yellow in Huang Mao!"
'Damn! That's too much hahahahahaha!'
'What's the difference between this and posting NTR photos on the victim's door?'
'@顾盛Sam, you are so understanding, old thief! '
"Holy crap! I'm so shocked! I'd call this the biggest NTR incident in gaming history!"
'I'm afraid this mourning picture will be passed down forever hahahahahaha...'
"This is outrageous... I even thought this was photoshopped..."
"Hahahahaha that's too crude..."
good!
Tetsuya Moritani's premonition was absolutely correct.
The reason why Golden Wind was "defeaten step by step and shrank across the board" in the overseas publicity and promotion war was to prepare for "Horse Tramples on Tokyo" in advance!
Just as Moritani said before.
No matter how many tricks both sides have, what tricks they use, or what methods of publicity and promotion they adopt.
Ultimately, both sides will return to the theme of "game" and come to "Tokyo" to start a peak showdown!
Yes.
From the beginning!
Gu Sheng has already set his sights on Tokyo as the place for the decisive battle.
If you want to get enough attention at the Game Festival, promotion in Tokyo is absolutely essential.
But the problem is that now almost all promotional channels in Tokyo are firmly controlled by Konami.
Therefore, Gu Sheng discussed with the senior executives of Golden Wind and finally decided on the tactic of encirclement and division of forces.
First, launch an attack on Konami's overseas markets, erode and swallow up their overseas bases, forcing them to split their forces to deal with their own publicity and promotion campaign.
Afterwards, while Konami is cleaning up the mess in its overseas positions, launch a blitzkrieg, gather funds and connections, and launch a focused breakthrough attack on Tokyo!
The news came.
There was an uproar inside Konami!
President Keizo Kamikoshi was furious and immediately demanded the removal of the promotional poster of "Sekiro" on the Konami Building!
However, the momentum of the Golden Wind's advance into Tokyo is already unstoppable!
Because of Tokyo Game Festival.
Already here!!!
…
" Collecting game news and focusing on what players love, hello everyone, I am Tiantian, a reporter from Tiantian Game News!"
Three days later!
Amidst the heated discussions!
In the confrontation of publicity and promotion!
Japan!
Tokyo!
There are crowds of people outside Hall 1 of the International Exhibition Center!
At this time, outside the huge exhibition hall covering more than 160,000 square meters, game enthusiasts from all corners of the world, of all skin colors and languages gathered here to celebrate the event together!
Amidst the bustling crowd!
Tiantian's voice was full of excitement. He tried to raise his voice and introduced to the camera:
"As you can see, I am now outside the entrance of Tokyo Big Sight."
“It is reported that this exhibition has more participating manufacturers than the previous one, with nearly 720 game developers from around the world participating.”
"At the same time, more than 200,000 gamers and global gaming media will also be here to celebrate the event!"
Speaking of this.
Tiantian paused for a moment and continued:
"So, in addition to super-large companies like Japan's Konami and America's Vivendi, there are also other companies participating in the video game festival,"
"Large Chinese game companies such as Rage, Thunder, and Glory Games will also release their annual blockbusters,"
"Of course!"
"Among the many Chinese manufacturers, the one that attracts the most attention is naturally Golden Wind,"
“I believe that the viewers who entered our live broadcast room early also saw it while following our camera all the way.”
"Now, you can see the shadows of the two games "Sekiro" and "Tori-i" in the eye-catching advertising areas of major shopping districts in Tokyo,"
"These two games have also been called 'the two most popular projects at this year's video game festival' by domestic and foreign media,"
"Tori's new generation FPS design language is eye-catching,"
"Sekiro has become the experience target of various players and media thanks to its multiple halos and overwhelming publicity,"
"So which one is better? What are the pros and cons of the two games? We will reveal it soon..."
at the same time!
In the noisy and crowded queue, a golden metal pole stretched out, with a small wireless version of GoPro stuck on the front end.
The owner of the GoPro, wearing a baseball cap at the moment, greeted the audience in the camera:
"Hello friends! As you can see, I am at the Tokyo Game Festival right now!"
This man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, very young, with high brows, deep eye sockets, and a stylish beard.
good!
This person is the anchor Pew who came to the video game festival again!
The comments were as noisy as the crowd at the scene——
"I heard there are a lot of horror games this time."
'Pew will definitely try them one by one (smirk)'
"The first game I'll try is Torii, after all, it's a suspenseful 3S-class FPS masterpiece from Konami."
'I hope to experience Sekiro sooner'
'Sekiro is so mysterious that we still don't even know what the game will look like'
'Look at the wolf!'
'Look at the Torii!'
"Look at the wolf..."
For a moment, the audience in the live broadcast room was divided into two factions, some of whom wanted to be the first to uncover the mystery of Sekiro's gameplay.
Some people want to experience the new FPS charm of Torii online first.
"Okay, okay friends,"
Looking at the heated debate on the barrage, Pew quickly waved his hands, signaling everyone to stop arguing:
"After all - it seems that it is not up to me to decide where I should go."
Speaking of.
Pew turns the GoPro.
Countless players were crowded around him, and fans were surrounding him.
Pew even doubted that even if his feet were off the ground, his body would not fall down.
And right at this moment.
Pew just finished speaking!
Suddenly, the crowd at the front of the line, near the entrance of the exhibition hall, exclaimed excitedly!
Immediately afterwards, a bustling crowd like a tide surged up in an instant.
Pew also screamed with excitement, holding up the GoPro to live broadcast this spectacular scene——
"The zombie tide is coming --!!!"
Start!!!
…
As soon as you enter the door!
The comfortable warm air from the constant temperature air conditioner blows towards you!
Following Tiantian’s introduction, the two major manufacturers’ booths facing the entrance stood like door gods, majestic and extraordinary!
"...As you can see, on our left, the white and green booth is the booth of Yunwei Vivendi,"
Tiantian introduced:
"This time, Yunwei also brought two masterpieces, one is a multiplayer online shooting masterpiece, and the other is a racing work, which is comparable to Konami's "Hotspot Rally: Return"."
then.
The camera turned, sweeping across the layers of towering heads, and turned to the red and white Konami booth on the other side.
"As for this side, it's naturally the Konami booth,"
Tiantian introduced:
"In addition to the games we just mentioned, Hot Spot Rally and Wild Dunk EX, Konami will be exhibiting at the show this time,"
"The most important project is naturally the 3S-level shooting masterpiece "Tori-Gi: Phantom" that cost more than 200 million US dollars!"
And at this moment.
The exhibition film was also played on the huge screen at the Konami booth.
Yes, generally speaking, game exhibitions are different from industry exchange meetings and press conferences like GDC.
At the exhibition, manufacturers work independently and there are usually no long speeches. The promotions are basically based on automatic video playback.
If you really want to attract players to stop, you can also organize some short and fast singing and dancing programs, or hold some lottery activities.
The purpose is to retain players and showcase their own games .
But for a super-large company like Konami, singing, dancing and lucky draws seem to be out of touch with the mainstream.
After all, with the strong support of publicity and promotion in the early stage, they don’t need any special means of recruitment.
As soon as the clip was played, countless players and media flocked to the scene.
And the fact is, it is indeed so.
Especially when players and media saw the name of "Tori-i: Phantom" appear on the screen!
Suddenly, a light cry was heard near the booth!
People flocked to the booth, surrounding it and standing on tiptoe to watch the images on the huge screen.
Following right on!
The screen lit up, and from the first-person perspective, the protagonist was standing on the sparkling streets of Japan. The ground was wet, as if it had just rained.
The voice-over also sounded——
[In the process of making the Torii, we specially adopted the world's most advanced Phoenix-2 engine]
[Whether it is the overall presentation of the picture or the shaping of the subtle details, we strive for perfection]
Speaking of.
The protagonist of the game starts moving.
The footsteps hit the wet ground, splashing water.
Ripples formed in the small pool of water, disrupting the reflected Japanese lights.
And that's besides the point.
The details of the light raindrops, the dynamic expression of the swaying grass and trees, and even the lines on the protagonist’s palms and the tiny hairs on his arms...
It can be seen that Konami has indeed achieved excellence in the details of the picture, pushing the industrial capabilities to the highest level, and striving to immerse the players in the somatosensory cabin.
【In terms of how to play the game】
Amidst the gentle shouts, the voice-over continued:
[Players will no longer rely on firearms, but will use the power of exorcism]
With voiceover.
The protagonist of the game was seen walking towards two faceless men holding umbrellas.
He made a hand gesture and emerald green energy waves formed in his palm.
At this moment, the two ghosts on the opposite side also discovered the protagonist and rushed over with roars.
"drink--!"
With a loud shout, the green energy in the protagonist's hand turned into wind blades, sweeping the two faceless men away in an instant.
Then, he moved forward, the seals in his hands changed again, the energy fluctuations turned blue, and he pushed with both palms. Countless raindrops were like needles, knocking the two monsters to stagger.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the protagonist once again made a hand gesture, and the golden energy gathered into two golden threads, which tied up the two monsters and pulled them in front of him.
At the same time, his right hand stabbed the two ghosts' chests!
Bang!
The crystal core in the chest was crushed, and the two faceless men turned into ashes and turned into a wisp of flying smoke.
"oh--"
As the actual machine demonstration progressed, the players watching cheered and talked about it——
"How cool..."
"This picture is really top-notch. It looks really good when paired with this innovative seal."
"The industrial level is indeed high. This picture is world-class."
"It seems to be wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth. These spells all have attributes."
"Being an Onmyoji in the sensory cabin, um, it's interesting"
"But this battle...seems a bit boring..."
"Indeed, the monster's desire to attack is too low."
"It's fancy, and it looks like a normal main quest + side quest structure."
"This atmosphere is quite good..."
"……"
Players watched the actual gameplay demonstration of "Tori-i" and expressed their opinions one after another. Many people also lined up while watching to experience it.
Superb game industrial quality plus an innovative 'alternative' shooting experience.
Players stopped to watch, and cheers were heard from time to time.
Especially when the small BOSS in the game - a man in a suit with an umbrella in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other hand appears.
The dazzling spells and the suited man's hammer attack made the players nod their heads.
Especially when the protagonist's energy bar was full and he was charging to launch a fire spell attack, it caused a small climax around the booth.
Novelty is the selling point of the game "Tori-i".
Gorgeousness is the characteristic of the game "Tori-i".
"... Well, it seems that everyone is quite impressed with the quality of Konami's Torii."
After watching for a while, Tiantian said:
"The world's top-level graphics, coupled with the innovative attack settings, are indeed refreshing. I believe..."
That’s all!
Suddenly!
Just listen to the back of Konami's booth.
A heart-shaking crisp golden sound suddenly burst out!
【Boring!!!】
Since Torii was showing the 'stealth kill' segment at this time, the overall sound was weak.
This made the golden sound coming from behind the booth particularly eye-catching!
I'm stunned every day!
Players near the Konami booth also looked around.
Following right on!
Then, deafening golden sounds were heard one after another, like iron forging or a duel between knights.
【Ding! Ding! Dang! Ting——!!!】
Strong! Crisp! Bright!
Following right on!
Then there were screams and exclamations, and from the direction where the iron-forging sound came from, there was a loud bang and an uproar!!!
“OHHHHHH——!!!”
"O my fvking goooooooood!"
“What the hell? What the hell! What the hell!”
"DNM is a thief——!"
“…”
Tiantian was startled by the sudden commotion in the venue. He stretched his head to see what was happening over there, and then looked at the cameraman in surprise!
Both of them saw the incredible in each other's eyes.
What's happening?!
It sounds like the game over there is...
The scene exploded?!
