Chapter 360: Action Begins! No One Left Alive!
Start!
As the door to the exhibition opened, visitors who had been eager to come swarmed in, and the exhibition hall was instantly filled with noise!
Just behind the Golden Wind booth, behind the Konami booth facing the exhibition entrance, Masakazu Nakamura was secretly watching the visitors in the backstage, his eyes full of hope and expectation.
Two years.
Ever since they competed with Golden Wind over the Silent Hill project, nearly two years have passed. This is the first time that Konami has won a major victory in game promotion and marketing in their home country.
Yes.
This time, the publicity for "Yexia Island" was tremendous.
With a strong desire to survive, Keizo Kamikoshi tried his best this time. Not only did he use all the connections he could, but even Nakamura suspected that he had used his own private treasury to open up some channels that were not so easy to obtain.
Moreover, with the support of the huge publicity and promotion expenses of 357 million, the original publicity and promotion strength of "Night Cloud Island" can almost be called one of the strongest in Konami's history.
Just like that, under the "encirclement and suppression" of many media and publicity channels, they finally "raised their heads", as if to avenge their previous shame. Not only did they not give Golden Wind the opportunity to replicate the miracle of Sekiro's promotion, they even suppressed the promotion of "Call of Duty" in Tokyo, fully demonstrating the strength that the host country should have in local operations.
This will be my revenge, and Konami's revenge.
Standing backstage, Masakazu Nakamura watched the crowds walking towards his booth with a gleam in his eyes.
After this battle, I will become the true savior of Konami.
With the support of the three major shareholders headed by Mr. Ito, I will also successfully kick out Keimasa Tsuchiya and take over Konami!
Closer, closer, closer!
As the first wave of visitors got closer to the booth, Masakazu Nakamura could even see their excited smiling faces and hear their enthusiastic discussions!
However!
Just when Nakamura was full of anticipation and thought about hearing the first expectant comments from tourists mentioning "Yexia Island"!
Amidst the buzzing noise, the voice of the tourist walking in front clearly reached his ears:
"It is said that this time Golden Wind used an entire level for trial play!"
"Ah? Is this true? So awesome?"
"Just release the official version? Why not do a demo like Resident Evil 7 this time?"
"It is said that the story is too integrated, and if the demo is done alone, it will destroy the story."
"Hurry, hurry, we can't let our queue go to waste, hurry up and experience it first"
"Eh? Konami's booth is also here..."
"Hey - what Konami? Go experience Call of Duty first, we'll talk about Konami later..."
"That's right. After all, last year's Torii gate didn't seem to be a good experience. It was just more industrial."
"Indeed, let's go, let's go, I think there are already people queuing up..."
"……"
Crash——
Players poured in from the door like a tide, and then, under Nakamura's stunned and desperate gaze, they passed by the Konami booth, made a half circle, and headed to the Golden Wind booth behind them.
One by two, one group by two, one wave by two groups...
Visitors were buzzing with discussion about Golden Wind's latest game, Call of Duty from Tom Clancy's series.
Although all these tourists saw along the way were advertisements for "Yexia Island".
Even to this day, the game that has received more media promotion in the gaming industry is "Yexia Island".
but!
What players are talking about by word of mouth is "Call of Duty"!
Seeing large numbers of players flocking to the Golden Wind booth, and then looking at the sparsely populated players in front of their own booth!
A moment!
Nakamura seemed to have all his strength drained away. He turned around dejectedly, pulled out a stool, and slowly sat down.
If they had such a lineup once upon a time, and had not been disturbed by the Golden Wind tactics, and had used large-scale publicity with correct policies to suppress the Golden Wind, the final result would probably not be like this.
However, they wasted the opportunities that should have firmly suppressed the Golden Wind time and time again. Their mistakes over and over again led to the current result.
God will punish those who waste opportunities.
If Silent Hill hadn't underestimated the enemy, if Torii hadn't been negligent, if Silent Hill 2 hadn't been indecisive...
Too many ifs.
But none of them can improve the current situation.
He watched the waves of visitors passing by his booth, then turned around to look at the already crowded booth of Golden Wind behind him.
"well……"
Nakamura sighed heavily.
In fact, perhaps he had the opportunity to consult Managing Director Tetsuya Moritani, who has a strong control over the market, and ask him how to deal with the current situation.
But the problem is...
Today, Moriya is about to speak on stage as the vice president of Golden Wind Game Company...
…
"...honor, conspiracy, shocking nuclear network and confrontation with great powers,"
"This is the most sensitive and complex story we've ever told in the history of gaming,"
"At the same time, it is also a work that is enough to become a benchmark for global shooting games,"
"The prelude to modern warfare has been opened, and the mission is calling every soldier who is closely related to this conspiracy."
"Now, it's time to plunge into this battle of blood and fire, a contest of strength and wisdom."
"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow players and media friends, I declare——"
"Golden Wind Tokyo Game Show "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" real machine experience!"
"Open now!!!"
boom--!!!
Have to say!
As the man who is most in tune with Gu Sheng, Toru Moritani is indeed like another Gu Sheng in the world.
They are equally confident, equally proud, and even the inflammatory nature of their speeches on stage are exactly the same!
Previously there was Gu Sheng’s “Make Shooting Games Great Again”, and now there is Moriya’s “Global Shooting Game Benchmark”!
Just one word——
mad!
The most important thing is that their arrogance is not the kind that looks fake at first glance, but a proud declaration that comes from real strength and confidence!
A moment!
The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited!
Amid the thunderous applause, players in three layers inside and outside were cheering, whistling and screaming!
The players in line cheered, and Pew, who had been waiting in the first place in the media area, shouted excitedly along with the crowd:
"GW——! GW——! GW——!"
Then he turned his head to look at the camera, showing the audience in the live broadcast room the Call of Duty exclusive motion sensing cabin that was slowly opening with the bright green "WM" printed on it:
"My old swan ah ha ha ha ha, God, did you hear that!"
“The global benchmark for shooting games!”
"Come on, friends! Now, let's see how awesome this benchmark of shooting games is!"
Buzz——hiss——
As the somatosensory hatch closes!
Buzz--rumble--click! ! !
The propellers of the Black Hawk helicopter roar!
The raging waves rolling in the vast ocean!
Thunder exploded in the sky, and heavy rain rolled in!
Wow——
The barrage was suddenly in uproar!
Although there is no picture in front of Pew at the moment, it is not difficult for fans to guess based on the immersive ambient sound effects -
"Fuck!!! It's [Leave no one alive]!!!"
'Isn't this the scene at the beginning of the trailer?'
"Gift Crab——the first move is a surprise attack!"
"Oh my god... I have goosebumps..."
'Here comes my friends, there is light!'
'Let's get started! Leave no one alive!'
"……"
And with the discussions of netizens!
Dada-da-da-da
The decoding sound rustled, and in the dark screen, a bright green mission message appeared in the lower right corner of Pew's head-up display. It was also the name of this level -
[Leave no one alive]
[Day 1 - 01:23:39]
[Somewhere in the Bering Strait]
Sergeant "Soap" McTavish
【22nd Airborne Special Forces】
Amid the turbulence of the helicopter, Pew could even clearly feel all his senses gradually becoming stronger and connected to his neural sensors.
The sound of propellers roared above his head, the pouring rain hit his face, and amidst the cold, salty air of the sea, there was a strong smell of Cuban cigars.
In the tactical headset, the wingman who was cooperating in the operation sent a text message:
[Calling the gun mount, this is Hammer 2-4, we have sighted the target, estimated arrival time 60 seconds]
And the helicopter pilot also replied:
[Received, 2-4, over]
"Thick-ceremony-crab-!!!"
Open your eyes!
Right in front of him, the veteran with a pair of hawk-like eyes in the promotional video was sitting opposite him, with a cigar in his hand.
Captain Price
In the heads-up display UI, Pew finally learned the name of this veteran with an inexplicably charming temperament.
"This is fucking shocking... "
Pew, sitting in the helicopter, felt his blood boiling!
The Black Hawk moves quickly in the rainy night!
And the armed freighter in the distance is already within reach!
The voice is disconnected, keep silent!
Pew, who had just joined the special forces and played the role of "Sergeant Soap McTavish", even couldn't help but tremble in his voice and seemed a little nervous.
Everything here makes people feel like they are there. Which man can resist the temptation of personally participating in a special military operation?
And just as he was preparing intensively!
Captain Price on the opposite side flicked his cigarette and signaled him to pull down his tactical goggles. Then, a weathered yet steady voice sounded in the tactical headset:
"Radio check, maintain safe channel, free fire authorized,"
"Let's get started,"
“Leave no one alive!”
Swish——!
As Captain Price's voice fell!
Pew saw the other two teammates wearing tactical masks pulling out the silencer version of MP5SD produced by H&K, climbing up the rope and performing tactical rappelling!
Pew is an old player after all.
Although his specialty is horror games, he is not unfamiliar with this type of shooting games.
Click!
With the rappelling buckle hung on the nylon rope, Pew followed the example of his teammates and landed from the Black Hawk helicopter.
The landing location they chose happened to be the bridge of the armed freighter!
"Ah? Ward—?"
Pew just landed!
Face to face with an enemy on the bridge!
It’s raining heavily!
The enemies in the bridge looked as if they had seen a ghost. They looked at the rookie Pew who appeared in front of them from the sky and were about to open their mouths!
puff--
The faint sound of silencer shooting was heard!
The bullet shattered the glass of the bridge, shot in through the enemy's open mouth, and exited from the back of his head, leaving a trail of black and red blood!
Pew turned his head in surprise!
Captain Price was holding the same MP5SD submachine gun, as calm as a cheetah.
Puff, puff, puff——
moment!
A few silenced gunshots were heard in the heavy rain, almost inaudible.
There was a burst of blood splatter, and five or six enemies in the bridge control room were killed instantly!
Price: "Bridge clear, proceed to the cabin."
Cold! Ruthless! Efficient! Sharp!
You must know!
In the past, the AI teammates in such games were basically artificial idiots!
It’s not that game companies can’t make smarter AI, but generally speaking, they want to give players more room to play.
But this game is completely different!
Pew looked at his submachine gun that had not fired a single shot, then looked at his teammates who had quickly moved to the door of the bridge and were ready to break in, and opened his mouth:
"I am the burden?"
This is fucking outrageous!
You guys all have it on? Just hard lock? Then your shooting is as accurate as if you have the Wisdom Core turned on? Every shot is a headshot?
but!
Although I was complaining in my heart!
But such a setting can't help but greatly enhance Pew's game immersion!
After all, he was just a rookie, and Captain Price and his men were the truly awesome veteran special forces soldiers.
You can say that!
This "Call of Duty" gave Pew a warning right from the start!
Top-level industrial quality, perfect atmosphere creation, reliable teammates, and exciting breakthrough missions!
Everything here is so immersive!
Pew took a deep breath and unconsciously followed his teammates' example, lowered his body, picked up his MP5SD, and entered the bridge!
Listening to Captain Price's instructions in the headset, he calmed down and responded in a serious manner -
【Copy That! 】
