December 2, 6:00 am.
Although according to the normal work and rest time, most players have not woken up yet, but many people have already turned on their computers and watched the live broadcast from the other side of the ocean.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the time is almost up!"
"It's this morning? I'm going to turn on the computer right now! Who has the live broadcast address to send me?"
"I have it here!"
"It's not the game of the year yet, right? I haven't missed anything, have I?"
"The shortlist is being announced. The Last of Us, Uncharted and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds are all in!"
"Wow, I'm so nervous, hurry up and announce! Why is the live broadcast of this media so appetizing!"
Starting from December, a large number of game evaluation media's annual game awards are coming.
Different game evaluation media have different evaluation rules for the annual game, and the time of the award ceremony is also different. Some are relatively early and will be completed in December, while others are relatively late and will be postponed to January or February of the next year.
The specific awarding methods are also different. For example, TGN has a huge awarding venue, which is bigger than the Oscars. During the on-site awarding, the orchestra will be invited to perform live.
However, some relatively small game evaluation media, the venue is a bit more frugal, and some even skip the awards ceremony and directly announce the annual game they have selected on the Internet.
Today's game review media is called gamehighlight, which translates to "high light game". This is a game review media that prefers niche games, but it is quite influential in the world.
This is considered to be the earliest influential game media to hold the annual game awards ceremony this year.
Many domestic players already knew the news in advance, so they got up early in the morning and waited for the live broadcast of the annual game awards ceremony.
This feeling is a bit like watching some international e-sports games. There are two things in common: they 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 see Chen Mo's game win the Game of the Year honor.
"It's out, it's out! Candidate for Game of the Year!"
"The first one is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, but this game is mostly for running with."
"Well, Uncharted! In fact, for gamehighlight, maybe they would prefer "Uncharted"? After all, this game is an adventure game, and the game genre is considered a niche."
"But "Uncharted" is not a niche game at all... It caters to the taste of the public too much."
"I'm ready to announce, I'm so nervous!"
"'The Last of America'! Fuck, it really is 'The Last of America', I just said, this year's end of the United States will hang everything without explanation!"
"Damn it, Chen Mo played home games with "The Last of Us" in these European and American game reviews... It's so unscientific."
"Yes, "The Last of Us" is simply a masterpiece for European and American players and game reviewers. It is estimated that many European and American designers are confused. Who is the native European and American designer?"
"Hey, Chen Mo didn't even go to the scene, he sent someone else to accept the award on his behalf, this stuff is inflated!!"
"Who is this little brother? He looks like a typical science man."
"Hehe, this little brother is called 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 gold games all the year round. By the way, "League of Legends", "Glory of the King" and " He is currently in charge of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The follow-up versions of "League of Legends" we have played are all developed by this guy."
"Nimma! This guy is less than thirty years old!"
"It's as if Chen Mo is thirty years old... In their entire company, several core creators are not thirty years old..."
"Envy! Wait a minute, I just realized, the Krypton Gold system made by this guy??? I'm going to block him outside the airport with a knife!!"
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 announced this as the big news of the day, which caused a lot of excitement among the player groups. Enthusiastic response.
This is very 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. Then, for a game review similar to tgn that is more biased towards the public Media, The Last of Us is definitely a strong contender for Game of the Year.
However, there are also many players who said that they all sit down, this is the basic operation!
"It's just an annual game from a niche game media. Let's see if you all sit down for Midea. I, Celent, will continue to take it!"
"That's right, before tgn came out, these small media were all younger brothers, let's go back a little bit."
"Save your energy, and wait for the authoritative media's evaluation to come out before blowing it up. First, keep a low profile, low profile."
"You can see that Serente didn't attend at all... I think he is not going to go to the awards ceremony of several super authoritative game evaluation media, such as tgn, because of his inflated level..."
The player was right.
In fact, there are too many game evaluation media in Europe and the United States. Even if you remove those media that directly publish the annual game list without holding a ceremony, there are still many left.
However, the game was shortlisted, and these media invitations, Chen Mo had to go, otherwise there would not be a single employee of Thunder Games at the scene, and the scene of accepting the award would be very embarrassing.
As a game developer that already has extensive international influence, Leiting Huyu has to start dealing with these game media. Players all over the world will pay attention to these awards ceremonies and look forward to seeing them at the awards ceremonies. When it came to the developer of the game, it turned out that Leiting Huyu didn't pay any attention to it at all, that was too shameful.
It is impossible for Chen Mo himself to travel to so many media, otherwise, from December to February, he would basically stop doing other things and travel in Europe and America.
So, Chen Mo slapped his head and gave benefits to a few old employees. Let's contract in batches!
Accepting the award on behalf of Chen Mo is not for everyone, at least there is a title (title) when going abroad, and we can't send all the sweeping aunts to receive the award.
Therefore, several core members such as Qian Kun, Su Jinyu, and Zheng Hongxi went abroad to pretend these low-end b for Chen Mo, oh no, they received these low-end awards.
As for Chen Mo himself, he still has some things to plan in the country during this time, and when it is the turn of some 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 there is no accident, it will be done every year in the future, and there is no need to take it seriously all the time.
