Determined to participate in the Cologne Games Show!

See you in Cologne

Although this official tweet only has three short words and a concept poster for a new game.

However, one stone caused a thousand ripples!

Just as Jiang Yun said before, the golden wind is now at the forefront.

Due to the shadow of the Dream Engine, it is no longer a secret in the circle that Golden Wind has no engine available.

Therefore, for this Cologne Games Show, most media, players, and even peers generally speculated that Golden Wind would be absent.

Because it’s less than three months away from Gamescom!

The blockade of Fantasy 5, and the fact that Golden Wind has not signed a new contract with any commercial engine company based on the current situation.

Without an engine, it is impossible to produce a high-quality 3S-level game in such a short time.

Even two days ago, Hummingbird Games specially published an article——

"No Engine Available! Golden Wind's absence from this Cologne Games Show is a foregone conclusion!"

result!

Golden Wind immediately posted a message "See you in Cologne"!

Hummingbird Game looks like a clown!

and!

There is more that has caused an uproar in the gaming community.

The poster below the tweet is even more jaw-dropping!

Look at the rough painting style, the world that is piled up like Lego, and the creatures that can be identified but are all made up of blocks.

And two cube-like protagonists.

Golden Wind actually had the nerve to bring a game of this quality to the Cologne Games Show?!

Are they crazy?

Let’s take a look at their previous games.

Titanfall! Sekiro! Resident Evil! Call of Duty!

They are all well-made, with excellent painting style and increasing industrial level!

And let’s look at this game “Minecraft” again?

Not only has the industrial quality not improved, it has even regressed to the level of the initial stage of Golden Wind!

'this……'

Such quality even made many loyal players of Butter doubt it!

'Are you serious, Xiao Huang? This cube man?'

"It feels a bit tricky. With such quality, why don't we just not participate?"

'This level is not even as good as the "Who is the Daddy" released by Xiao Huang a long time ago...'

"Indeed, the pixel-style block man... is too outrageous..."

"To be honest, instead of going to Cologne and making a fool of myself, it would be better to just do nothing and focus on solving the engine problem first..."

'At this point I have to mention a famous quote from Brother Ba: I would rather do nothing than do something wrong'

"That makes sense..."

'@Gu ShengSAM, brother, if it really doesn't work, we won't go. It's okay to miss once, there's no need to force yourself to attend the exhibition...'

"The point is that taking this thing to the four major game shows... is too embarrassing..."

"It's too abstract. Although it has always been difficult to imagine the old thief's mental state, this is the Cologne Games Show. Isn't this a bit too frivolous..."

"It's hard to say, I feel like this is really going to fail..."

"……"

It’s not hard to see!

Even players who like Golden Wind don't have much hope for this version of "Minecraft" and are generally pessimistic about it.

Golden Wind did not make any explanation or rebuttal to this.

As for Gu Sheng’s personal social media account, it has simply gone invisible, without saying a single word, as if he is a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

Start!

This is the general view of Golden Wind in the gaming community today.

For a moment, Golden Wind was like a person walking naked on the street, being stared at and pointed at by countless people...

…

That night.

Empty streets.

The pitch-black Maybach glided through the lonely and cold district of Higashiueno 4-chome-17 in Taito Ward.

The LED headlights appear particularly cold in the winter wind, revealing a bone-chilling temperature.

The middle-aged man in the car, who was already thin, now looked even more exhausted, with graying temples and big dark circles under his eyes. His eyes revealed fear and uneasiness, and he looked more and more sick and fragile.

salad--

As the Maybach slid across the block, it entered the garage of a three-story villa in the villa area.

The middle-aged man stepped out of the car.

He looked outside the garage twice suspiciously, then closed the garage door .

However!

Just at the moment the garage door drops!

The middle-aged man suddenly screamed without any warning: "Ah-ah!!!"

Then there was a gurgling sound!

The man took two steps back, staggered, and actually sat down in the garage, falling next to his Maybach!

Because just inside the lowered garage door, a large "note" was stuck on the door panel, with black and white words clearly written on it -

[Your time is running out, Mr. Joetsu]

good!

The middle-aged man who was sitting on the ground trembling with fear and looked like he was on the verge of collapse was none other than the current president of Konami - Keimasa Kamikoshi!

“Who…who?!”

With the garage door closed!

Shangyue Jingzheng finally recovered, trembling and getting up from the ground. He grabbed a small hammer from the tool rack in the garage and held it in front of him. Like a frightened bird, he shouted in the garage:

"Who's here?! Come out! Come out now!!!"

The voice, so tense that it was suffocating, trembled and was squeezed out from the throat.

Although it is winter now.

But the sweat on Shangyue Jingzheng's forehead still emerged in waves .

Yes.

The 7.85% stake in Konami Group that he now holds is like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

Now, everything is clear.

As the first week results of "Night Cloud Island" came out, the huge number of refund applications, the dismal revenue, and the reputation that was criticized by countless people all announced that Shangyue Jingzheng's life-and-death gamble had completely failed.

Uninspired game mode.

Repeated enemy types and boss modeling.

There are a lot of game bugs and logic errors.

Crashes can occur almost at any time.

Various media outlets gave it a rating of less than 3/10.

In the words of Simon, the editor-in-chief of SNG: This is a half-finished game that may not even pass the test after completion! It is simply the biggest electronic torture of this century!

Unprecedentedly bad!

It even surpassed "Torii", which was once criticized by players as "only barely passing the industrial level", and became the worst 3S-level work in Konami's history!

This is totally not the level Konami should have!

Players complained, the media criticized, and peers looked at him with awe.

As for the president, Keimasa Joetsu, even if he doesn't understand games, it is not difficult for him to see the situation he is facing now -

There is no doubt that Masakazu Nakamura, the production director of "Night Cloud Island" , deliberately made the game like this.

And the impeachment of the president initiated by director Itosuke after the failure of "Night Cloud Island" is enough to prove this point.

At the meeting.

Itosuke launched a fierce attack against him.

The company summarized the group's losses caused by its incompetent decisions since the failure of Silent Hill, as well as the continued decline in performance in recent years.

It seems like they are going to settle all the old and new accounts together!

and!

Just after the impeachment meeting, an anonymous letter containing evidence of his embezzlement of company assets, bribery, and suspected occupational embezzlement was also sent to him.

And all of this!

Naturally, these were all secretly arranged by Itosuke, the initiator of this impeachment.

As long as Itosuke gets the shares in his hands, kicks him out of the board of directors, and then joins forces with two other directors, he can easily obtain more than 2/3 of the shares on the board of directors, thereby gaining control over the decision-making power of special resolutions including company mergers, divisions, dissolutions or changes in company form.

As a native Japanese.

Keizo Joetsu was well aware of what kind of outrageous actions Itosuke, who was in a high position of power and financial influence, could take in order to compete for the control of a huge group with a total market value of 32.4 billion in this land.

As the saying goes, when a mountain collapses, the monkeys scatter even when the trees fall!

Today, Kamijou Jingzheng is like a bird in a cage.

Especially these days!

He always felt that someone was secretly watching his every move.

Perhaps they were wary of him escaping to Europe and disappearing, or perhaps they were ready to take action against him at any time.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

The rapid breathing sounded particularly harsh in the quiet garage.

Ding!

With a crisp sound, Shang Yuejing threw the hammer in his hand to the ground, staggered to the garage door in a daze, tore off all the black words on the white paper that were as bright as a knife, rolled it into a ball and threw it hard on the ground!

“Son of a bitch…Son of a bitch!”

"Oh shit!!!"

Boom!

The impotent and furious Keizo Sugetsu kicked the garage door, venting his anger.

He closed his eyes painfully, then opened them again, imagining that this was all just a nightmare and that he had not yet reached such a desperate point.

However.

When he opened his eyes again, he still saw the snow-white garage door in front of him, with some offset print still on it.

salad--

The sound of weak footsteps was heard.

Shang Yuejing took heavy steps, pushed open the back door of the garage, and walked into his villa in some confusion.

Where is his future?

Keizo Jyouetsu didn't know.

He only knew that the "equity donation" agreement proposed by Itosuke was so greedy!

A secure retirement has become an elusive goal in his lifetime.

Not only will he lose his share dividends, but he will also lose his share dividends.

Even the shares in his hands have now become bargaining chips for upper-class capital, forcing him to contribute them "voluntarily"!

Two hours of thinking!
