Almighty Game Designer Chapter 781: The first game of the year
December 2nd, 6 am.
Although according to the normal schedule, most players have not gotten up at this time, but many people have turned on their computers and watched live broadcasts from across the ocean.
"Hurry up, hurry up, time is almost here!"
"This morning? I'm going to turn on the computer! Who has the live broadcast address to send me?"
"I have it here!"
"The annual game awards have not arrived yet? Didn't I miss anything?"
"The shortlist is being announced, "The Last of Us", "Uncharted" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are all in!"
"Wow, I'm so nervous, hurry up to announce! Why is this media's live broadcast so appetizing!"
Starting from December, a large number of game review media’s annual game awards have struck.
Different game evaluation media have different evaluation rules for the annual game, and the award ceremony time is also different. Some are earlier, and they are finished in December, and some are later, which will be delayed until January or February of the next year. month.
The specific awarding method is also different. For example, TGN has a huge awards venue, which is more than the Oscar card surface. When the awards are presented on the spot, the orchestra will be invited to perform on the spot.
However, some relatively small game evaluation media have made the venue more frugal, and some even skip the awards section altogether, and directly announce the game of the year they selected on the Internet.
Today's game evaluation media is called GameHighlight, which translates as "highlight game". This is a game evaluation media that prefers niche games, but it is also relatively influential in the world.
This is the first relatively influential game media to hold the annual game awards ceremony this year.
Many domestic players have known this news in advance, so they deliberately get up early in the morning and wait for the live broadcast of the annual game awards ceremony.
This feeling is a bit like watching some international competitions in e-sports games. There are two similarities: all need to stay up late or get up early, and they all hope to win glory for the country.
Obviously, the only motivation for players to get up early is to hope that Chen Mo's game can win the title of Game of the Year.
"It's out! Game candidate of the year!"
"The first one is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but most of this game is to accompany you."
"Well, Uncharted! Actually, for GameHighlight, maybe they will prefer Uncharted, right? After all, this game is an adventure game, and the game type is considered niche."
"But the game "Uncharted" is not at all niche...too much catered to the taste of the public."
"I am ready to announce, so nervous!"
""The Last of America"! Fuck, it really is "The Last of America", I said, "The Last of America" will not explain everything at the end of this year!"
"Nima, Chen Mo, with the help of "The Last of Us" in these European and American game reviews, played home effects...it's really unscientific."
"Yes, "The Last of America" is simply a magical work for players and game reviewers in Europe and the United States. It is estimated that many European and American designers are in the circle. Who is the native European and American designer?"
"Hey, Chen Mo didn't even go to the scene. He sent someone to accept the award on his behalf. This is inflated!!"
"Who is this little brother? He looks like a typical science man."
"Hehe, this little brother is Qian Kun. He is one of the core assistants who followed Chen Mo at the beginning. He is responsible for the numerical planning of various krypton games. By the way, "League of Legends" and "Glory of the Kings" He is currently responsible for both "Unknown's Battlegrounds" and "Unknown's Battlegrounds". The subsequent version updates of "League of Legends" we have played are all led by this product."
"Nima! This one is less than thirty years old!"
"It's as if Chen Mo is thirty years old...their entire company, several core creators are not thirty years old, okay..."
"Envy! Wait a minute, I just reacted, the krypton gold system made by this product???? I will pick up the knife to stop him outside the airport!!!"
The news that "The Last of Us" won the Game of the Year award on GameHighlight immediately spread throughout the game circles at home and abroad. Many domestic game media regarded this event as a major news of the day, especially among the players. Evoked a enthusiastic response.
This is a very important piece of good news. Even GameHighlight, a game review media that prefers niche themes, gave "The Last of Us" a full score and was selected as the game of the year, so the tastes like TGN are more biased towards the public The game evaluation media, "The Last of America" is definitely a strong contender for the game of the year.
However, there are also many players who say this, all sit down, this is the basic operation!
"I just took a game of the year from a niche game media. See you guys from the United States, sit down, and my Serent will continue to take it!"
"That is, before TGN came out, these small media were all younger brothers, a little behind."
"Save a little effort, wait until the following authoritative media reviews come out before blowing it out. Be low-key and low-key first."
"You see Serente didn't attend at all...I think with his swelling degree, except for the awards ceremony of TGN and other super authoritative game review media, he is not going to go..."
This player is really right.
In fact, there are too many game evaluation media in Europe and America. Even if you remove those media that do not hold a ceremony and directly produce the annual game list, there are still many.
However, the game was shortlisted, and with these media invitations, Chen Mo had to go there, otherwise there would not even be a Thunder Game employee at the scene, and the scene of receiving the award would be much awkward.
As a game developer with extensive international influence, Thunder Interactive has to start dealing with these game media~IndoMTL.com~ By then, players all over the world will pay attention to these award ceremonies and look forward to them. Seeing the developers of the game at the awards ceremony, Thunder Mutual Entertainment didn't care about it at all. It was outrageous.
It's impossible for Chen Mo to run so many media outlets, otherwise, basically don't do anything else during the period from December to February, and all travel in Europe and America.
So, Chen Mo slapped his forehead and gave benefits to several old employees. Let's contract in batches!
Not everyone can accept awards on behalf of Chen Mo. At least there is a title (title) when you go abroad. You can't send Auntie Sweeper to receive awards.
So, Qian Kun, Su Jinyu, Zheng Hongxi and other core members went abroad to pretend these low-end Bs for Chen Mo, oh no, they received these low-end awards.
As for Chen Mo himself, he still has some things to plan in China during this period. When it comes to some more authoritative game media awards ceremony, he will go out and show his face and it will be over.
After all, the game of the year has almost become a basic operation. If nothing else, it will be handled every year in the future, and there is no need to take it seriously all the time.
