Chapter 173. Players Despise the Chain
“Game of the year?”
Xu Rui was also a little confused when she received contact from the public relations side.
He has heard of this annual game award. The organizer is a joint brand of several game media. Unlike the annual animation, there is no industry association involved, so it is slightly inferior in terms of professionalism and authority. Although it claims to be the largest award in the gaming industry, most game companies just laughed at it.
The selection of the annual game awards is more concerned with the popularity and topic of the game. For example, two years ago, a game that has not been officially released and has only been in the test stage. It is just because many people played this game during the test and the discussion is very popular. Although it is all bugs and plug-ins, it does not prevent it from entering the shortlist.
The annual game award that year also attracted a lot of attention. Of course, in the end, the game was not selected for any final award. Even half a year after the selection, the game was lost due to the flood of plug-ins, and the game mode was confiscated by other games and became dissipated.
But who cares, the annual game award only values popularity.
There are five works for this year's nominations.
The game "Tomorrow Future" produced by Suo Ren is a FPS game of the apocalypse survival category, with a linear plot with a high degree of freedom, and the game sold 5 million copies.
es game's "Dragon Mission 10" is a classic turn-based RPG. The series of works has a historical heritage of more than ten years and has many loyal fans in China.
The cup game "Doom 4" is a linear plot shooting game that focuses on refreshingly. Compared with the ordinary Tutu, it has many more skills and props, making it more fun.
The producer of "Speed Horizon 3" is Fruit Gummy Interactive Entertainment, which is a racing game that is famous for purchasing the copyright of real vehicles and the scenery in the game is also good.
Finally, there is Hatsune's "Blood Source: Curse".
After the list of candidate works was announced, a huge uproar was immediately triggered on the Internet.
China's largest console game lùn tán, v9. The ones gathered here are basically console players. The overall atmosphere is not very popular with PC game players, and even more so with mobile and web game players. In some people's words, there is also a chain of contempt to play games.
For example, console players think they are the most noble, PCs are shoddy games, PC stand-alone game players look down on online game players, think they play games just to deceive others from thousands of miles away, PC online game players look down on mobile game players, think the games they play have no meaning at all, mobile game players look down on web game players, think they are all krypton gold sows and nouveau riche.
In other words, web game players are the bottom of the game's contempt chain.
v9lùn The players who like to black other games the most are in the relevant news posts. When they see the list of candidates for annual game selection, they will be in an instant.
[Corn steamed buns]: It's funny, why is there a web game mixed in? The judges are all on the aircraft carrier?
[Red Petals]: When I saw that game on the selection list a few years ago, I thought this game of the year was a pheasant award. You don’t believe it. Now, even web games have been infiltrated.
[Bone]: When did you have the illusion that this award is not a pheasant award? Every year, the works are selected by popularity. The judges don’t understand the game at all. They just want to hype the popularity.
【lkop】: It’s okay to be on the shortlist. If the annual game is obtained for this garbage web game, then everyone here will probably be beaten to death?
[Corana prohibited]: I just wanted to know how much Hatsune Games stuffed the jury to make a web game on the selection list.
[Confident Look Back]: Has anyone played this web game? I saw that my cousin and the others were playing every day, and there were many girls on Weibo.
[Bent Spoon]: Who would waste time playing this? I still have many games at home waiting for me to pass the level.
[Sesame Douhua]: You are still too naive. It is obvious that the judges are looking for a popular game to take advantage of. Don’t you know that "Blood Source: Curse" has 15 million users in just three months of operation. The game's turnover in August and half a month is 300 million, and September and October are 500 million. Just in terms of money-making ability, the other games on this candidate list are not as good as it.
[Refresh curly hair]: So much???Damn, if I were a game manufacturer, I worked hard to make 3a in several years and made it, and the money I made was not as good as the web game he made in half a year. Then I would be a fool. Everyone should do web games, so don’t play big games in the future.
Many players who focus on stand-alone players think that web games are pure krypton gold games, without any fun. "Blood Source: Curse" must have relied on some ulterior py transactions to enter the shortlist. What's more, they believe that web games make big profits are unreasonable for the entire game industry and will kill the development of stand-alone masterpieces.
Xu Rui himself was also confused.
He had no contact with the jury of the Year Game Awards, nor did he ask the game department to give him any materials, and he would not spend money to "buy" "Blood Source: Curse".
To be honest, Xu Rui himself has a low attention to these awards. He can also participate in industry awards such as animation of the year. After all, it is a professional award. In Xu Rui's opinion, the selection team composed of media such as the Game of the Year is a real pheasant award, and he doesn't really want to participate.
After receiving the contact, Xu Rui communicated with the people of the annual game award jury and found out that this group of judges just wanted to take advantage of the popularity of "Blood Source: Curse". You must know that this game is the most popular in various social circles now. If it can be added to the selection, it will spread the popularity to the annual game award.
Simply put, they chose "Blood Source: Curse" to increase the topic of themselves and to induce war!
Xu Rui was a little amused and laughed. After all, this selection is essentially a media selection. Whether to win the award or not has much impact on the game itself. As a result, "Blood Source: Curse" is probably responsible for running around, raising the atmosphere, and causing some controversy. Although this award is useless, he still has to give those game media face so as not to make any trouble when entering the console game in the future. Therefore, Xu Rui agreed to participate.
I cooperated with the jury to sort out some information and checked this year's nominations. "Blood Source: Curse" not only shortlisted for the game of the year, but also ranked in several sub-price awards such as Best Mobile Game, Best Social Game, Best Game Music, Best Game Art. It seems that the judges especially like this game.
The award ceremony date is December 26. Xu Rui looked at the arrangements and had no time for the time being, so he asked Holofei to attend the award ceremony instead of him. He was busy screening works for the Spring Festival New Year Festival this year, and the second work of the sound synthesis engine will be held on New Year's Day.
Just a few days before the annual Game Awards ceremony, the final episode of "Pure White Narcissus" also aired.
The previous super-expanded plot was continuous, which made the audience stunned. The production team seemed to have really let themselves go. Although the audience still had expectations, the increasingly larger plot could have a beautiful ending in the last episode.
But unexpectedly, the last episode of "Pure White Narcissus" actually created the history of Chinese animation! 13
Chapter completed!
