Number One Game Designer

First Manufacturer Day at the opening of the E3 show.

Large-scale game manufacturers and host manufacturers can have their own small exhibition halls on the first day and the next day to announce their new games, new game consoles, or new world structures, etc., which can be called news.

They are the undoubted jewels in the social dance party of E3, thousands of players are turning around them, the current Fang Xi does not have such qualifications.

Although the results of Left 4 Dead are excellent, the sales are limited to China. Although Portal and Killing Planet are amazing, they are only small productions after all, and they cannot be on the big stage.

Only after the real 3A proves itself can it enter the ranks of first-line manufacturers, which is also Fang Xi's short-term goal.

So in the first two days of the exhibition, Hongyi didn't have anything to do. Fang Xi simply asked Lu Wanqi to hang out in the exhibition area directly, watching other people's games, and sometimes it could be used as inspiration for himself.

This year, the most watched series in Europe and the United States is undoubtedly the Dungeons and Dragons series. This masterpiece of the DND series has experienced ups and downs for several years, and now it still has a large number of fans. Let Fang Xi see, Dungeons and Dragons can be regarded as It's a gem in gaming history.

The level design and occupation division provide good examples for the latecomers. The representative works of the last time and space are the two ancestor-level RPG games "Neverwinter Nights" and "Baldur's Gate".

The only difference in this world is probably that Europeans and Americans did not consider other things, and directly moved Dungeons and Dragons to PCs and became a game and became a great success.

This year’s E3 is already the seventh game of Dungeons and Dragons, with endless adventures and endless financial reports. For games that have come to this series, the plot is not very important. How to give players new ideas is theirs. The most important thing to consider.

Lu Wanqi listened with great interest to the producer's introduction of the new plot and new characters of this work. Seeing Fang Xi next to him who was also full of interest, she quietly moved to the left, bumped Fang Xi with her shoulder and said:

"Unexpectedly, Teacher Fang is also very interested in his opponent's game."

Fang Xi shook his head and laughed:

"Dungeons and Dragons are not our opponents. Their game has already been completed to a very high degree. It is estimated that it will be released soon this year. As for us, the game is not yet finished. It is conservatively estimated that it will be next year if everything goes well."

Sure enough, at the same time, the producer on the stage also announced the release date of this new work: mid-September.

For Europeans and Americans who regard Christmas as the New Year, September is also close to the end of the year. At this time, many people's desire to buy will be a little stronger. This is also an unwritten rule in the European and American markets.

Watching Fang Xi concentrate on watching the screen on the platform, Lu Wanqi has never been a fan of this series of games, so she didn't understand it, and asked curiously:

"Is this wonderful work?"

"Wonderful is very general." Fang Xi explained earnestly: "It's better to say it's fun."

"Although it is already the seventh work, it has been a game that has been produced for many years, but the sincerity of the author can still be felt in this work."

"New map design, new class mechanics, I guess they even did a big update on the game logic."

"It's rare to not let your fans down. This is the way the game succeeds."

Lu Wanqi rolled her eyes and said, "Then how do you think it compares to your new game?"

"Well..." Fang Xi laughed and said, "Just as every parent thinks their child is the best,

Of course, every game producer believes that his brainchild is the best. As for the final commercial level, it has to be tested by the market. "

After finishing speaking, Fang Xi took Lu Wanqi's hand: "Let's go, let's go to the host area."

The main producers of consoles are still the United States and Japan. This is also a point that many players regretted in the last time and space: Huaxia has never had its own game console.

This also dates back to the last century. Due to some unspeakable reasons in China, video games did not start to germinate until the 1990s, but even if they germinated, they were still demonized at that time and were not qualified for normal development.

As for Europe, America and Japan, for them, the end of World War II is really over. It took the country 20 years to experience the pain of war, and then the exchanges during the war began to turn into the driving force for take-off. In the 1980s, the United States and Japan were very bright in video games, and it ended in Japan's victory. So they have a good market, enough time to slowly breed the host.

Moreover, in the 1980s and 1990s, Europe, the United States and Japan have begun to pay attention to family entertainment, but in China... I won't talk about it.

Consoles were originally prepared for family entertainment. At that time, there were not so many entertainment methods. Everyone invited each other to visit each other at home, open a part, and play consoles. This was the best entertainment, and it was also the incentive for the development of consoles. .

And under all these conditions, the country is one step slower than foreign countries, one step slower, one step slower. For the early game makers, the market was sufficient for them. They had time to slowly study and make games, and develop their own game ideas. Before Fang Xi crossed, the domestic game market began to improve, but I still have to say that Chinese producers are experiencing the best era in domestic history. From a global perspective, China's game era is still cruel.

It's easy to get distracted when seeing the host, and finally Fang Xi was woken up by Lu Wanqi shaking his arm.

"What, is PS5 coming out?" Fang Xi turned around and didn't see what was being said on the stage, but saw the audience cheering, and couldn't help being a little curious.

Lu Wanqi gave him a blank look as usual:

"No, how did Suo Dafa release the next-generation home console so quickly? They announced a slim version, which is more portable and cheaper. Players are cheering."

Hearing Lu Wanqi's explanation, Fang Xi twitched his lips, thinking that he could finally see the PS5 in another time and space, but he was still reeling.

"Why, don't you like it?"

Among them, the taste and Lu Wanqi can't be said, Fang Xi said vaguely: "No, it's just a pity that we can make our own host at any time."

Hearing Fang Xi's disappointed tone, Lu Wanqi smiled, and reached out to rub Fang Xi's head twice:

"Hey, don't worry, we will."

Fang Xi opened Lu Wanqi's hand angrily.

"Do you think I'm a child? I'm just disappointed. When I dominate PC games, I'll have more time to develop consoles. At that time, I want to dominate all platforms!"

Seeing Fang Xi's childish speech, Lu Wanqi always felt a little warmer in her heart, and Fang Xi probably only showed her childish side in front of her.

"Okay, okay, in the future, the entire platform will definitely dominate." Lu Wanqi replied with a smile: "Then, Mr. Fang, the future great designer, should we go and see the next one?"

Fang Xi waved his big hand, imitating Prime Minister Cao and said: "The rest, the dead bones in the tomb, are not worth talking about."

"Look at me, two days later, I will be the best in the crowd."

In this exhibition, only the first two days are the main days, and after that, they will compete against each other according to the game, and Fang Xi's first chance to appear on stage is on the third day.
