LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 187: The stage play is officially staged!
Chapter 187 The stage play is officially staged!
In addition to the lively queue at the House of Horror, the north side of E3 is also bustling with people.
There is an independent venue area for holding press conferences.
It is somewhat similar to a box-like layout, except that there are many 'boxes' and can accommodate thousands of people.
This point is the biggest difference from the original world E3 exhibition.
The terrain is so large that it is more like a theme park than an exhibition.
In addition, every visitor to the E3 exhibition, whether it is the media or ordinary individual players, has an exhibition guide in hand.
The location of exhibitors and the schedule of activities are clearly marked on it.
For example, what time will there be signature peripheral activities, what time will there be performances, and so on.
It's completely a carnival atmosphere.
Now, through the guide, almost 90% of people know that there are two game conferences today.
One session in the morning and one session in the afternoon.
The morning session was from a game company in America, and the afternoon session was from Meng Shu's company.
However, since we are here at E3, whether we want to participate in the two game conferences depends entirely on personal preference.
After all, the press conference is not the most important thing.
But since E3 is here and there is a press conference, wouldn’t it be a pity for me not to attend?
So, at the E3 show, except for those media practitioners, most players chose to watch the live conference.
I mainly want to know some exclusive news or other traffic news and so on.
Therefore, at around 2 pm, all the people who participated in the morning conference had come to TheOnlyGame, a game company belonging to Huaguo.
Now, the huge venue is already full of people.
It caused the venue to be full of voices and excitement.
Various media practitioners and individual players found their positions in pairs, waiting for first-hand news.
What's more, even the live broadcast is ready.
Meng Shu sat in the auditorium.
Now, it is 2:40 in the afternoon, and there are still 20 minutes before the game press conference at 3:00.
The reason why he also sat in the crowd was that he was preparing to enjoy the stage play again. More, I want to hear the opinions of foreigners.
This kind of behavior of visiting the player group in person has a reality different from questionnaire surveys for him.
Soon, as the number of people increased, and the time for the press conference was not yet up, the people who arrived first started chatting with each other.
Of course there are also interviews.
For example, there is a foreign boy wearing a sun hat in the front row of Meng Shu, holding a portable microphone and interviewing the people next to him.
"Hi, Man. Did you know about the game at this conference?"
"Yes, DeadSpace."
The person sitting next to him nodded without hesitation, and blurted out the name of the game.
After hearing this, the little brother asked again.
"Then have you been to their game trial exhibition area?"
The person sitting next to him nodded again.
"Yes, are you talking about that type of live-action pit lane scene? Actually, that's why I came here, and it was really interesting."
Brother asked again.
"Ok. What do you think of DeadSpace? Is it fun?"
The person sitting next to him nodded vigorously without hesitation.
"Yes, I think it's very fun. Although the demo version at their exhibition was only 30 minutes long, the compact content and beautiful graphics made me very memorable. I can't wait to experience the official version."
"So are you scared?"
“Of course, I was really freaked out. Not just me, but my friends, and those other players too.”
The person sitting next to him talked and smiled.
“I can hardly imagine any game that can scare me in 30 minutes, not ControlBreach, not SkyHill.”
The interviewer said he understood, but he also maintained the other two horror games.
"I think you should understand that their demo version is just one part of the exciting content, not like their other works that need to be played slowly from scratch."
The person sitting next to him nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I understand that. If their demo version released the first part, I don't think 30 minutes will really scare people."
"Then which game do you think you like more than the game released in the morning?"
The person sitting next to him was speechless and smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry, that game in the morning. Actually, I'm not that interested in aerial combat shooting. So I like DeadSpace better than the two games. Even if it's a scary horror game, I like it too .”
"OK, got it. Have a great day buddy. I'm HJon, now let's interview the others who arrived at the scene. Go!"
As soon as the voice fell, the little brother in the sun hat got up and left.
Together, there are accompanying photographers.
Meng Shu watched them go away, narrowing his eyes slightly.
The air combat shooting game they mentioned just now happened to be known to Meng Shu as well.
That is the new work announced by the American company in the morning - "Defense Air Force".
This is an air combat shooting game with RPG elements.
Players mainly operate fighter jets one after another to fight in vast areas such as seas, deep mountains, deserts, and cities.
Then use the machine guns or missiles on the body to annihilate the enemy.
In addition to the main storyline, the main gameplay is more of an online experience.
allows players to drive fighters to challenge each other on a large map.
Secondly, the plane is warmed up.
Through the game process, you can unlock a variety of fighter jets, graffiti spray paint, weapons and equipment, etc.
And each different airframe has different data and feel.
Play differently.
After watching the press conference, Meng Shu went through the live demo and felt that the game was a bit like "Ace Combat 7".
Especially the tense air combat gameplay, it's almost like copying.
In addition, the production company is a well-known game company in America, with many IPs under its umbrella, and it is also an old brand.
It is obviously impossible for their game to say that players do not expect it.
If there is no such thing as shrinkage or castration, then this air combat shooting game will be a good quality game.
But, it's your game show in the morning.
That afternoon, it's up to me.
Meng Shu took out his phone and checked the time on it.
Now, it's only a few minutes before 3 o'clock.
Looking up at the venue again, the entire press conference was filled with darkness.
There are basically no vacancies, and even the last row of aisles, there are still some tourists who have no seats.
Seeing this, Meng Shu knew it was time.
[Each group is ready, Mr. Li, please excuse me. ]
Soon, Director Li replied the message.
[rest assured. ]
At the same time, a countdown appeared on the large screen on the wall in the direction of the stage.

9…
8…
7…
This scene immediately attracted the audience.
They adjusted their sitting postures one after another, staring at the big screen in unison, waiting for the official start of the press conference.
In their vision, as soon as the countdown is over, the person in charge of the game will come to the stage to read the script and give a speech, explaining the features, gameplay, innovations, plots, etc. of the game to the audience present.
but
This time, they were wrong.
The countdown continues.

Snapped-
The originally bright venue suddenly turned off the lights, and it was pitch black.
It's broad daylight now, and it's not so dark that you can't see your fingers, but the difference is not too big.
If it wasn't because the air conditioner was still blowing, everyone at the scene thought there was a power outage.
Since there is no power outage, it means that the game company deliberately did it.
But it's just a press conference, why do you want to do this?
The next second, the audience knew the reason.
On the large screen as wide as the wall, a video recording appeared. Inside, was a beautiful woman with short blonde hair.
The audience at the scene could tell at a glance that the woman on the big screen was not a real person, but a very realistic CG character.
And this, the audience immediately understood. This is the promotional CG, the promotional CG has started to play, and the press conference has begun!
On the screen, the short-haired woman looked embarrassed.
Her blonde hair is disheveled, and her expression is tired and tired.
Large swaths of sweat and greasy dirt formed on her face, making her feel like she was trying to survive a desperate situation.
It seems that there is some news that needs to be conveyed.
Just when the audience thought so, as expected, the embarrassed blond woman spoke quietly. The tired voice and fluent English also spread throughout the venue through the speakers.
[My name is… Alyssa Vinson. ]
[Is the head of security on the Ishimura ship. ]
[People who saw this video, no matter who you are, please remember the next words. ]
[Ishimura number. Finished]
[And I may be the only survivor]
The blond woman was talking, and suddenly rubbed her forehead, as if she had a headache and some discomfort.
But she still managed to slow down, gritted her teeth and continued to speak.
[We encountered an alien life form that took control of the crew's body and mutated them]
[All my team members died in the line of duty. The mining area was also lost. All life signals are displayed as lost connection]
[Although I don’t want to admit it, I’m afraid there is no life on the boat, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
In the video, the blond woman covered her head again and screamed in pain.
He even lay down on the console at one point to endure the severe pain.
But soon, she recovered again, but her hair was disheveled and clinging to her face.
[I believe. This disaster is related to a certain building stone tower we found on the mining planet]
[It's what makes it all. It drives us crazy. It makes us kill each other. We don't even know what it is.]
As soon as the words fell, the blond woman stared fiercely, her pupils filled with anger and hatred.
[Except for the captain of the Ishimura, this is a conspiracy. A conspiracy...! ]
The next second, a spotlight shone on the stage, attracting the attention of the audience.
There, at the center of the stage, two people, a man and a woman, unexpectedly appeared at some point!
Two obviously 3D avatars!
On the left is a strong middle-aged man with an unshaven beard and thinning hair.
On the right, isn't it the woman with short blonde hair that was recorded on the screen just now?
At this time, the golden woman lowered her head slightly and spoke to the middle-aged man in a deep voice.
"Sir, the mining site has lost contact, and there are unconfirmed life responses there."
"I think I need to take a team down to see, at least to find out what made the mining site lose contact."
For some reason, the Unified Church in the game was changed to Shinrikyo.
