Chapter 354: This wave of prehistoric times in the atmosphere
[Pokémon, it's you! ]
As the host stepped down from the stage, a vibrant shout suddenly rang out in the venue.
The audience who were discussing the previous games all looked towards the stage.
All the screens, big and small, had been changed to promotional pictures of "Pokemon", and a Honghuang employee holding a microphone walked to the stage.
"Here it comes! Honghuang's exclusive game!"
“It’s actually Pokémon!”
"The other companies all came up with a lot of masterpieces."
“Will pet-raising games not be enough?”
“What a kawaii style!”
"Is this the game that Honghuang is going to launch?"
In recent months, the attention paid to Honghuang's "Pokemon" is no less than that of other masterpieces.
Many people don’t understand why Honghuang would come up with a casual game that doesn’t seem to be very large at such an important moment.
After all, in their cognition.
The best-selling games are basically those large-scale games with excellent production, and other manufacturers are doing the same.
Only Honghuang Sword takes an unconventional approach.
I chose a pet-raising theme, which hasn’t had many hits in recent years.
“Ahem…”
Standing on the stage was the head of the Honghuang America branch.
After taking a look at the direction where Chen Lin was sitting, he looked towards the stage with a smile on his face and spoke slowly in fluent English:
"I believe you have already learned from many channels that the game that we are about to launch is this pet training and battle game..."
As the person in charge of the American region of Honghuang, his professional level is still very high. He started talking in general terms and introduced the game "Pokemon" to everyone.
And according to Chen Lin's request, he did not arrange a trial play, but retained a sense of mystery and only introduced some basic gameplay and Pokémon settings.
"As you can see, our game has AI intelligence and voice recognition for the character pets."
"Yes, in the virtual terminal, players can give instructions to Pokémon simply by shouting, realizing the most realistic human-pet interaction!"
"Not only that, we will also hold a regional competition every six months and a global competition every year to determine the strongest Pokémon trainer. Please watch."
While talking.
The person in charge pressed the controller in his hand.
All of a sudden, a large number of projections appeared on the entire stage, instantly making it full of technology.
The originally empty stage was transformed into a large venue like the Olympic Games.
The huge stadium was surrounded by a circle of spectators, extending from the bottom to the top, and the person in charge seemed to be standing on the stands of the audience.
"As you can see, we will hold online competitions directly on the virtual terminal at that time."
“During the regional and global tournaments, all players will be able to enter the venues, watch the tournaments in real time from the stands, and experience the exciting battles of Pokémon Masters up close!”
“We call it… the Virtual Sports Day!”
Wow——
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion at the scene.
Many people even stood up from their seats.
Virtual Sports Day!
A competition platform that is completely virtual!
Is Honghuang going to redefine the e-sports industry?
All the players and media from various countries were shocked.
They were sure of it.
Once the news spreads.
It will definitely cause a stir in the gaming and e-sports circles!
Because it will change the entire operating mode of e-sports competitions. There will no longer be a need for redundant offline venues, and contestants will no longer need to travel to other countries.
Just log in to the virtual side.
Then you can gather together in one place and compete!
Even spectators can easily watch the live games, and the experience is greatly improved!
"Oh my god! Is this Honghuang's ultimate move?"
"Online e-sports, with hundreds of millions of people watching at the same time, I can no longer imagine what the scene will be like."
"Esports players are ecstatic. It is really too much trouble to travel for several days for each competition."
"And it's not just for virtual games, PC and mobile games can also be done this way, just like we are doing now!"
This moment.
Everyone woke up in shock.
I finally realized why E3 announced virtual reality projection technology at the beginning.
Since they can appear at the exhibition site through virtual reality technology, the game scene on PC and mobile phones can also be projected through this technology.
You can watch the game on site without leaving home!
Although it is still in the form of live broadcast, the feeling of being in the venue and cheering with everyone up close is still very good.
"Quick! Notify the club immediately and ask them to purchase prehistoric equipment!"
"Change the plan! Let the players adapt to the virtual side as soon as possible starting today!"
"The e-sports industry is about to change. The future will be the era of virtual e-sports!"
"We thought Honghuang was in the second layer, but it turns out that he is in the atmosphere."
All major e-sports clubs are excited, and gaming media are also excited.
They kept taking pictures with their cameras and sent this important information back to their respective companies.
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh.
E3 is indeed an internationally renowned technology and gaming expo with extremely high value .
Just from the opening ceremony, so many breaking news were revealed.
First, there were the virtual devices from major manufacturers, then various blockbuster IP masterpieces, and now virtual sports games.
Just pick one.
It's all headline news level.
The results were concentrated on this day, making them suddenly feel that the tickets were really worth buying!
"Okay, that's the end of my introduction."
"Starting this afternoon, we at Honghuang will be holding game exhibitions and trials in the central exhibition area, as well as various peripheral product activities. Everyone is welcome to come and try them out."
The person in charge did not stay long. After introducing his own game, he slowly stepped down from the stage, and then it was the next company's turn to come up and introduce their game.
The entire opening ceremony was very lively.
It lasted until 12 noon.
It finally ended successfully with the host's loud announcement.
It also foreshadows.
The E3 exhibition has officially begun!
A moment.
The audience left the venue and poured into the large exhibition area at the back.
The virtual audience also returned to the live broadcast room, discussing the news while following the host's perspective into the exhibition area.
"It's finally started. I'm going to play all the games in these three days!"
"What a huge exhibition area! Is this E3?"
"Look at that bunny girl over there!"
"What should I do? There are so many places I don't know where to go first."
As soon as Ouyang Xiao and his three companions left the venue, they were stunned by the bustling exhibition area.
Different from those small and medium-sized exhibitions in China.
The E3 exhibition venue can be said to be very spectacular and the layout is very thoughtful.
Almost every manufacturer's exhibition area is specially designed according to the characteristics of its own games.
For example, a manufacturer specializing in horror games designed the exhibition area into a haunted house.
The exhibition area focusing on the two-dimensional world is filled with character standees and virtual idol projections, which looks very technological.
And the further you go inside, the larger the exhibition area becomes.
Almost every game on display had its own promotional activities, with a small stage set up for interaction, and even famous actors and voice actors invited to liven up the scene, making it extremely lively.
But what made the audience's nose bleed the most.
Or the show girls in each exhibition area.
Each of them is dressed sexy, holding signs and posing seductively, and there are bunny girls, two-dimensional, uniforms, JK, sailor suits, and fairy-tale styles.
"Oh my god, this is Pansi Cave."
Even though Ouyang Xiao was a girl, she was frightened by the bold ways of playing abroad, and her face turned red.
"Let's go to Honghuang first."
Xun'er, who was holding a selfie stick at the side, suggested.
"Yes, let's go to Honghuang first. If we go later, there will be too many people and we will have to queue."
Xiaoqian Yaya nodded repeatedly.
Then.
The four of them ran towards the central exhibition area as if escaping, fearing that their live broadcast room would be blocked.
But when they followed the map and came to the central exhibition area, they were stunned by the scene before them.
Spectacular.
Absolutely spectacular!
A number of major manufacturers such as JBOX, Sony, Nintendo, EA, UB, and Comic gathered together, and each exhibition area was incredibly large and had its own unique features.
However, what attracted their attention the most was an oversized Pikachu model and various Pokémon standees, which formed a circle around the stage outside the face.
This is just a facade.
There is also an exhibition area for various peripheral products and capsule toy machines, as well as rows of lounge chairs for trial use of virtual devices.
A large number of players gathered in front of the machine, shouting and grabbing the dolls around them.
The most popular of them all.
It is a gashapon event.
"Come on, come on, let's draw the Pokémon Gachapon. You'll definitely get Pokémon dolls, key chains, standees... and you'll also have a chance to win the grand prize, a set of Pokémon commemorative limited edition helmets!"
Xiaoli and Xiaowei shouted loudly, occasionally speaking a few words of broken English, which immediately attracted many players to gather around.
When they heard that the helmets were limited in quantity, the senior collectors who were dragging their suitcases and preparing to buy peripherals suddenly had their eyes sparkling and started to participate in the lottery without thinking.
As expected.
After a while, a foreigner won a yellow Pikachu-style virtual helmet. He excitedly held up the prize, causing a commotion among the crowd.
"Damn! I want this helmet too!"
“Same, I really love this anime.”
" Honghuang has released so many peripheral products this time."
“It’s so lively, more lively than any exhibition I’ve ever seen.”
"Let's look at the surrounding area later. Let's go to the trial area first, otherwise there will be no seats left."
Seeing the urging reminder from the barrage, Ouyang Xiao and the other three who were enjoying various surrounding activities suddenly woke up.
After taking a look at the direction, he followed the crowd into the game trial area.
At this time, hundreds of people have gathered in the trial area, wearing helmets and logging into the game under the supervision of the employees.
Fortunately, they arrived in time and were lucky enough to grab four empty seats for the trial version.
"Each person can only try the game for half an hour at most, and when they are ready, they can put on the helmet and start the game."
Under the staff's instructions, the four women skillfully put on their helmets, lay on the recliners, and slowly closed their eyes.
Some players were not in a hurry to try out the game, but stood by and watched the game screen projected on the side, full of curiosity.
Because of the last few months.
The promotion of the anime "Pokemon" is overwhelming, and it is available on almost all well-known video platforms in various countries.
Coupled with the promotion of Honghuang’s overseas branches, this anime has already become well-known and has a wide audience.
Swish!
The picture flashed.
Ouyang Xiao and others who logged into the game finally appeared in a bustling and noisy town square wrapped in a burst of light.
There were players everywhere who had just logged in like them, looking around in surprise.
"This is... Pallet Town!"
At just one glance, Ouyang Xiao recognized where they were. It was the town where the anime protagonist Satoshi lived, Pallet Town!
"They actually use Pallet Town as the starting point. Are they going to completely restore the anime map?" Xiaoqian said in surprise.
That being said.
Wouldn't it be possible to encounter wild Pokémon if we leave town and go into the wild?
"Then what are you waiting for? There's only half an hour left. Go find Professor Oak and ask for a Poké Ball!"
They are all anime fans, and they immediately ran towards Professor Oak's research institute.
Seeing this, the other players finally reacted and hurriedly followed their footsteps or explored other places.
The entire Pallet Town was bustling with people, and more and more players were pouring in.
