In Magic City, the fifth exhibition area of the gameplay exhibition, many staff are busy.
Unlike last year’s exhibition, this year’s Nebula Games exhibition area has been moved to the third exhibition area.
After all, there is "Dark Soul" and "Two Players". Nowadays, Nebula Games is not considered an independent game manufacturer due to its popularity and scale.
As for Tenghua and NetDragon, they still occupy an exhibition area each like last year.
The third exhibition area is basically full of second- and third-tier game manufacturers.
The distribution of booth sizes is relatively even, and Nebula Games’ exhibition space is about the same as last year.
"It feels like the surrounding game manufacturers value us very much!" Ruan Ningxue, who was setting up the exhibition area, sighed with emotion.
After the words fell, Yang Xin also answered: "Yes, I feel like the tigers are watching, and there are designers who came here to inquire about information!"
"The main reason is that Mr. Chen stole all the limelight last year." Lin Tao next to him also said with a smile.
"But it feels like we are just here to make a splash this year, and the only thing we can come up with is a promotional trailer for the prequel of "Dark Souls."" Ruan Ningxue has some regrets.
"There's nothing we can do about it. The schedule is too late, and Mr. Chen has released "Silent Hill RPG" ahead of schedule. Otherwise, what a surprise it would have been for the players if it were released at this exhibition!" Yang Xin said with emotion.
When some cosplayers who were rehearsing for the show heard this, they stumbled and the steps of the dance were wrong.
Most of these cosplayers are also gamers, so it is impossible not to know the name of "Silent Hill PT", which has been called the scariest demo on the Internet in the past two days.
Although some people have not downloaded and played the game themselves, they have learned about it through game media or videos and live broadcasts.
If this thing were to be brought to an exhibition, players would be in for a surprise.
A group of people were setting up here, and then they saw Chen Xu and Qin Yi leading a group of staff at the entrance of the booth, pushing a small cart.
"Hey! Mr. Chen, are there new cosplay props? Why are they so weird?"
"Yeah! Why does it feel so weird? Inflatable hammer, water tank sofa, what is this!?"
Seeing the props sent over by Chen Xu and Qin Yi, Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue were very curious.
The props delivered here on the trolley look like they are all specially made.
There are four black sofas that look like large water tanks, almost 80 centimeters high, just inside Qin Yi's thigh next to them.
Also inside each water tank-shaped sofa is a sledgehammer like those used on construction sites for pounding walls, which is of course inflatable.
Looking at this strange scene, everyone was a little curious.
"I took the time these past two days to make a small game with Qin Yi. It just so happened that the exhibition area had been released in the past two days to collect the numbers. These are props for the small game to increase the player's sense of immersion." Chen Xu explained with a smile.
"That's it!" Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin suddenly realized.
However, there are also some people who are curious about what kind of game Chen Xu has made.
Facing the inquiries from Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin, Chen Xu just spread his hands and smiled without saying a word.
Qin Yi over there looked at the four large water tanks, sofas, and four hammers in front of him, and he was a little hesitant to speak.
After thinking about it, Qin Yi silently came to the exhibition area staff to communicate: "Can we dispatch more security guards to maintain order in our exhibition area tomorrow? Because the players may be more excited by then. "
The security guard opposite was obviously a Dark Souls fan. Hearing Qin Yi's words and seeing the game label on his chest, he immediately smiled and said: "No problem! I understand! It's a trial of the prequel to "Dark Souls", right? Players can Don’t you get excited? It’s been so long!”
Looking at the security guard brother who was smiling and even looking forward to it, Qin Yi's expression became more complicated.
Try it out? Is there such a thing
And what you think the player is excited about is completely different from what he is talking about!
… … … …
On the day of the exhibition, this year's gameplay exhibition was still crowded with people just like last year.
Many local players in Magic City came, and some came from other places to try out new games at the exhibition.
At the entrance of the exhibition, many players were discussing.
This year's two game manufacturers, NetDragon and Tenghua, basically don't have any major breakthroughs. Except for some of their third-party studios, they don't have any shocking masterpieces.
However, it is still the first choice for most players, after all, there are many games.
As for Nebula Games, many players also came straight to the game. After all, Chen Xu had previously stated on the official blog that the latest news about the sequel would be announced at the gameplay exhibition.
Coupled with the popularity of "Silent Hill pt" online in the past two days, Nebula Games has also attracted a lot of attention.
Of course, there are also some loyal fans and players of Nebula games.
"I wonder what Chen Xu will bring to this year's exhibition!" Zhang Yi said with some expectation.
"Bring a game like Silent Hill PT!" said Wang Han next to him.
"Anything new will do, as long as it's not a horror game." Song Ren, a tall man, said.
"By the way, didn't Wang Yifan and Qiao Yi come this year?" Wang Han asked curiously.
"Qiao Yi broke her leg and can't come. If Wang Yifan goes on a business trip this month, he won't be able to take leave." Song Ren explained.
But as soon as they arrived at the Nebula Game Exhibition Area, Zhang Yi and Song Ren were a little confused.
Because there are just too many people.
The entire exhibition hall was full of people, and although security maintained order, everyone queued up consciously.
But I can’t stand the crowd!
From a distance, there was basically nothing on the stage except the showgirls and cosplayers.
But soon Zhang Yi and the others knew the reason.
Because after the opening cosplayer performed, a familiar person walked up.
"Hello everyone!" Chen Xu took the microphone and greeted the players present with a smile.
Many players present also waved and said hello.
'Finally met Chen Xu! '
'When will the news of the "Dark Souls" prequel be announced? '
'Is "Silent Hill pt" just a demo? '
The players present were all talking about anything.
Chen Xu signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "I believe that the reason why everyone came here in the first place is probably for this!"
As Chen Xu finished speaking, the players at the scene let out a burst of excited shouts.
Because on the big screen behind it, an icon was displayed.
A bonfire with a spiral sword in Dark Souls!
An undead man wearing armor and half-kneeling in front of the bonfire was outlined bit by bit.
As the pictures played on the big screen, the voices of the players on the scene gradually became quieter, leaving only the background music coming from the speakers in the exhibition area.
The video does not end here, the bonfire continues to burn.
As the flames burned, the picture began to become distorted and blurred.
The undead man kneeling on the ground in front of him also gradually disappeared.
Eventually it turned into a white mist.
The flames grew stronger and stronger, and white mist gradually covered the entire screen.
The next moment, amid the uncontrollable cheers of the players, an old narration voice appeared.
