Chapter 308 Everyone Screamed

Local afternoon.

Before the closing ceremony, the most anticipated part for all players came.

The most important projects of major manufacturers will be officially unveiled today.

Players, media, and manufacturers gathered together.

From the moment the host came on stage, the players burst into amazing shouts.

After a simple warm-up, it officially began.

The first one announced was a sequel to an RPG work that had been in production for seven years, which was the game enlightenment for many players.

Then there was a party-type casual game and a soul-like game.

Although the size of these games is not large, they are still enthusiastically sought after by players.

But the next manufacturer is more important.

"Desperate Crisis 6", an open-world shooting game produced by the European potato factory.

The scene was very awkward, with a lot of boos and obviously sparse applause.

This made the potato factory staff who were responsible for explaining and demonstrating the game on the stage a little embarrassed and uneasy, and they gritted their teeth to complete today's work.

Since the release of Cyberpunk 2077, it has tortured all open-world games on the market.

Games from Tudou Factory often have an awesome prologue. After playing the prologue, you will feel that this is one of the best games in the world.

But after the prologue, it was about two hours past the refund time.

The true colors were immediately exposed!

It was like an old lady's foot wrap, smelly and long, and I felt cheated.

Many players are cheated every year, and every year is different.

It is a formulaic open world, which can use a very clever gimmick to attract many people to buy games.

Are you angry?

There is nothing you can do about it.

Not only that, there are also various backstabbing behaviors such as breaking the price in the first month and giving away free games for two years.

In the past, players were used to eating bran, and their requirements for open worlds were not so high. After all, no matter how formulaic it is, the production level is on the same level, and not all manufacturers can make this type of game.

But now there is Naughty Cat's Cyberpunk 2077, which directly strikes down the dimension and tyrannizes all open-world games on the market.

Players really can't play other companies, especially the open world games of Potato Factory.

This makes players full of dissatisfaction with Potato Factory, the manufacturer with the highest output of open world games.

This also led to today's booing.

However, it can be seen that Potato Factory also knows its problems, and players will not buy it if it continues like this.

So today, it specifically announced the delay of the game to express its determination to make games seriously.

However, the resentment of players that has accumulated for many years cannot be dispersed in one or two times.

Especially the players who have been cheated of so much money by Potato Factory.

Seeing the scene like this, Arnold, who was lurking at the scene with a mask, cursed dissatisfiedly: "Damn Naughty Cat, what a mess the industry has become! How many colleagues are going to be forced to death?"

The lackey beside him quickly echoed: "Yes, just like the horror game track, since the emergence of "Resident Evil", it has become more and more difficult for us to do it."

The lackey's name is Fermin. He is one of the former veterans of Lucas Studio and one of the first people to defect to Electronic Arts with a group of people.

As a traitor, he is the person who wants Lucas to die the most in the world, no one else.

Only in this way can he show his role and value as a traitor.

If Lucas can't die, he will be worthless.

However, just as he said this, he heard someone behind him say lightly: "Yes, Naughty Cat is indeed a bastard. He has made many incompetent designers who have corrupted the industry lose their jobs and caused many garbage companies that are not worthy of making money to suffer losses. He is really hated."

The E4 exhibition is not a solemn ceremony-like occasion like WGA.

Although there are seats here, chatting, cheering, and screaming are not prohibited at all.

But this sound still attracted the attention of many people.

Arnold and Fermin turned back in shock, with incredible looks on their faces.

No, who are you?

But after really seeing the face, Arnold's face sank, no wonder!

Jeff!

This game media reporter who was secretly manipulated by him and squeezed out of the core decision-making circle of the WGA Organizing Committee.

Facing the ridicule, he responded unyieldingly: "Yes, just like incompetent reporters, they can only write some low-level articles that no one reads."

But Jeff is a writer after all, not only was he not angry at all, but he also chuckled and responded: "As expected of the shortest-serving CEO in the history of EA, you are well-informed. Recently, no one has read your company's news, and it is not as popular as Lucas's mysterious game."

Arnold's face sank, and Fermin was embarrassed.

Don't hit someone in the face, and don't curse someone.

Lucas's mysterious game did arouse the interest of many players, and the related news was indeed popular. The key is that it was the second-to-last show.

EA was the third-to-last.

The last show belonged to Baofeng Entertainment, which shined this year.

At this time, Arnold naturally could not show weakness, and responded coldly: "This is what incompetent reporters are like. They can never catch the key news. EA has arranged exclusive interviews with many media outlets about its mysterious new game, but not with you."

Jeff sneered, glanced at the two and said: "Don't bother, I have already arranged an interview with Lucas."

The conversation stopped there, and neither of them said anything tacitly.

Fermin in the back row looked up at the main stage. Arnold and Fermin in the front row also turned their heads and looked at the people from the Potato Factory on the stage, who were embarrassed and explaining the game under the boos.

After a while, the Potato Factory's time was over.

Next up was EA.

First, the sequels of the racing, football and basketball games were announced, the promotional videos of the three mainstays that kept EA alive.

But

the players didn't seem to buy it, and the boos continued.

Finally, the latest expansion pack of "Galaxy Hunter" and the illusory movie project were announced.

Then, the boos got louder.

The EA staff on the stage had awkward expressions that were a little distorted, but they still insisted on finishing the whole show.

At the end, it was finally time to announce the new game.

The host of EA took a deep breath.

"Dear players, have you ever gotten lost while traveling?"

After this question was asked, there were few people at the scene, and there were not many answers.

Of course, the host didn't expect it, and continued: "I heard someone say yes. So, have you ever lost your phone signal? Have you ever entered a building that is not marked on the map?"

As the questions were asked one by one, many people realized that there should be a mysterious game that has not been disclosed to be announced.

Every question has some answers.

"If not, then EA games will take you to that cold and terrifying lunatic asylum."

As he said, the scene immediately went dark, and the big screen began to play a promotional CG.

"Ah? A new work? EA? A horror game?"

"This has nothing to do with EA's temperament. Will EA make such a thankless game?"

"Is it to charge money to unlock the female ghost bikini skin?"

"In-app purchase draws cards to choose the protagonist, the first deposit will give Li Sanguang, and the big guarantee draws Ada King."

The players' complaints continued for a while and then stopped.

Because this opening CG is still quite eye-catching.

At night, a car broke down in the wild, and the tires were pierced by huge iron thorns and could not move.

A total of five young people who came out to play could not leave, and there was no signal on their cell phones, so they could only send people to seek help nearby.

In the nearby forest, there was a dilapidated and gloomy building, which looked like a hospital. There was a light in one room, but then it went dark.

The five young people could only go in to find help from others or find parts to repair the car.

But this hospital was not that simple.

As soon as they walked in, at the moment when the light was turned on, a sharp blade cut a person in half.

The "person" living inside was deformed, terrifying, bloodthirsty, and extremely powerful.

The remaining four people could only hide in the hospital and find ways to resist.

After paying three lives, a girl ignited the oxygen cylinder and blew the "person" to pieces.

The girl covered in blood had a mental breakdown and crawled towards the door while crying.

But

just after pushing the door open, more despair came.

There was more than one deformed and terrifying "person" like that, but a family, waiting for her at the door, drooling, sticky and disgusting.

With screams, the screen went black.

Then, it was another night.

A car carrying more people passed by here, and its tires were punctured by spikes.

"There's no way, there seems to be a building over there, let's go there for help."

A group of nine people went there to seek help.

At the end of the CG, there was the EA logo and the name of the game - "Madhouse".

Then it was the release date.

June 16!

There was an uproar at the scene.

"This time is next to Lucas's mysterious game? This is targeted by EA, pitiful, or it's better to postpone the ticket, otherwise there will be no good results."

"Originally, I planned to pre-order after Lucas's mysterious game was announced, but now I'm a little hesitant, this one seems to be good."

"The quality of this CG is really good, I admit that I was attracted."

"Damn, should I trust EA for once? The production specifications of this horror game seem to be quite high."

Looking at the reaction on the scene, Arnold looked back proudly.

"If you beg me now, I can still reserve a spot for you for an interview."

Jeff also saw this good quality promotional video and heard these provocative words.

But he didn't have any emotional fluctuations and continued to stare at the big screen to watch the explanation on it.

Looking at the actual machine screen of the demonstration, he couldn't help shaking his head: "What a pity, why is it a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective again? Wouldn't it be better to make it a first-person perspective like Lucas's game? Really, he learned bad things from Naughty Cat."

Fermin in the front row heard it and turned around and said: "Can Lucas make such a 3A horror game? Is he qualified? The current mainstream is the third-person over-the-shoulder perspective. Do you understand games?"

Jeff sneered and said: "It's neither fish nor fowl, and I can't learn it properly."

On the stage, after briefly explaining some of the gameplay content of the game, this new product launch ended.

One of the most important parts of horror games is the sense of horror, and horror and mystery are inseparable.

The content announced to the public must not be too much, just briefly describe the main gameplay.

Many people in the audience were discussing the very un-EA game "Crazy House", and did not notice that a new host had come on stage.

"Hello, players, I'm Lucas."

This voice drew the attention of many players back to the stage.

Lucas was a little nervous and excited. He looked around and said loudly: "I wanted to give a detailed introduction, but the boss said that it was not necessary. Only a promotional video was needed to sell 10 million copies of this game. So, let's go straight to the official stage!"

As soon as this was said, many people laughed out loud.

"A designer who has a self-deprecating spirit and doesn't like to talk nonsense can always win the favor of many people."

"If it can really sell 10 million copies, I will kiss the donkey's ass."

"Although it is self-deprecating, I didn't expect that you dare to say this number."

Among them, Fermin and Arnold in the front row of Jeff laughed even louder.

At this time, in the hall's speakers.

Beep beep

A phone ring interrupted the laughter of many people, and the video officially began.

The protagonist got up from the ground and answered the phone.

"If you don't leave quickly, they will kill you. Run away."

A strange female voice.

Then the phone was hung up.

From the screen and the surrounding furniture environment, it can be seen that this is the most popular mystery game at the recent E4 exhibition, and many people lined up to try it.

Even the protagonist in the screen walked the classic route from the living room to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and microwave, opened the big pot on the table, and was disgusted by the cockroaches inside.

When I got the video tape back, I saw a figure walking by, which was a bit creepy.

Return to the video recorder and play it.

But the things that were played were completely different from those in the game.

There were many clips with huge amounts of information, very chaotic editing, and unclear meanings, accompanied by many snowflake patterns and rustling sounds.

Among them, there were fearful gasps, screams of fear, and struggling running sounds.

Finally, all the pictures disappeared, accompanied by a creepy nursery rhyme "Go Tell Aunt Rhody", and many suggestive pictures appeared.

Rotting animals, growing mold, spreading pollution, medicine bottles on the table, and terrifying laboratories.

Seeing this scene, Jeff was a little confused, these were obviously suggestive things.

Think about the familiar feeling I felt when I tried it for the first time, think about this trial that took up so much space unreasonably, think about the second appearance of the game.

A very absurd idea came to my mind.

"Wait?! This game? Could it be!"

Arnold looked back with dissatisfaction, looking at a fool.

But Jeff had no time to care, because the name of the game was revealed.

At the end of the screen, the word village appeared on the screen.

Several letters kept changing colors, V and the following letters kept changing, sometimes forming the Roman numeral 7 and sometimes forming the Roman numeral 8.

"7? 8? Village? What kind of trick is this."

"This game is called Village? It's the subtitle Village, right? What's the name of the game?"

"Wait, why is there a cat in the corner of the background?"

"It seems to be a faint cat logo. Damn, no way?! Could it be!"

At this time, Jeff was not the only one who lost his composure.

Many of the first fans who liked Naughty Cat couldn't help but stand up and stared at the big screen in amazement.

More than one person thought of the pointed images that appeared before.

Seeing Arnold and Fermin, his sitting posture became obviously unnatural.

He obviously thought of something.

The next second, the main title before the subtitle was displayed.

"Resident Evil: Village"

"Biohazard: Village"

The small words in brackets below:

(Resident Evil 7 & Resident Evil 8)

Instantly, the whole audience was boiling, screaming.

"Fuck!! It's true!! Naughty Cat's game is on E4? It's the first time in so many years!"

"Oh my god, what did I see?"

Arnold looked like he saw a ghost. He looked at the title of the new Resident Evil game on the stage, and looked at Lucas who was back on the stage with a proud face.

Then he looked back at the excited Jeff and the boiling players in the venue.

Damn.

What's wrong with this world?

Who is crazy?

Lucas, why would you make a sequel to Resident Evil? !

A numbered, orthodox sequel! ? (End of this chapter)
