Number One Game Designer

The first manufacturer day for the opening of the E3 exhibition.

Large-scale game manufacturers and console 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 architectures, which can be called news.

They are the undoubted jewels of the social dance party at E3. Thousands of players revolve around them. Currently Fang Xi has no such qualifications.

Although the results of Road to Survival are excellent, sales are limited to China. Although Portal and Slaughter Planet are amazing, they are only small productions after all, and cannot be made on the big stage.

Only after the true 3A proves oneself can one enter the ranks of first-tier manufacturers. This is also Fang Xi's short-term goal.

So there was nothing about Hongyi in the first two days of the exhibition. Fang Xi also directly asked Lu Wanqi to hang out in the exhibition area and watch other people's games, which can sometimes be his inspiration.

The most watched in Europe and America this year is undoubtedly the Dungeons and Dragons series. This masterpiece of the DND series, after several years of ups and downs, still has a large number of fans, and to Fang Xi’s eyes, Dungeons and Dragons is also considered to be The above is a gem in the history of the game.

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

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

This year’s participation in E3 is already the seventh game of Dungeons and Dragons. Endless adventures and endless financial reports. For this series of games, the plot is not important anymore. It is them how to give players new ideas. The most important thing to consider.

Lu Wanqi listened enthusiastically to the new plot and new characters introduced by the producer, and saw Fang Xi who was also interested next to her. She quietly moved to the left and hit Fang Xi with her shoulder:

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

Fang Xi shook his head and laughed:

"Dungeons and Dungeons are not our opponents. They have a high degree of completion of the game. It is estimated that they will be released soon this year. As for us, the game is not finished yet. It is conservatively estimated that everything goes smoothly next year."

Sure enough, the producers 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 can be regarded as close to the end of the year. At this time, many people's desire to buy will be a little bit stronger. This can be regarded as an unwritten rule in the European and American markets.

Looking at the screen on Fang Xi’s dedicated viewing platform, Lu Wanqi has never been a fan of this series of games, so she doesn’t quite understand, so she asked curiously:

"This work is wonderful?"

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

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

"New map design, new career mechanics, I guess they even made a big update to the game logic."

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

Lu Wanqi rolled her eyes and said, "Then how do you compare with your new game?"

"Well..." Fang Xi laughed: "Just as every parent thinks his child is the best, every game producer certainly thinks that his brainchild is the best. As for the ultimate commercial High and low, then it has to be tested by the market."

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

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

This also dates back to the last century. For some unspeakable reasons, video games did not begin to sprout until the 1990s in China, but even if they sprouted, they were still demonized at that time and did not have the qualifications for normal development.

As for Europe, America and Japan, for them, the end of World War II is really over. It took two decades for the country to experience the pain of the war, and then the exchanges during the war began to turn into a driving force to take off. In the 1980s, the U.S. and Japan appeared on video games for a while, and they ended in Japan's victory. So they have a good market and have enough time to slowly nurture the host.

Moreover, in the 1980s and 1990s, Europe, America and Japan have begun to pay attention to family entertainment, but domestically...not to mention it.

Hosts were originally prepared for home entertainment. At that time, there were not so many entertainment methods. Everyone invited each other to be guests at home, opened parts, and played host. This was the best entertainment and an incentive for the development of the host. .

However, under all these conditions, domestically, it is one step slower than foreign countries, one step is slow, and each step is slow. The early game makers have plenty of the market for them. They have time to slowly research and make games and develop their own game concepts. Before Fang Xi crossed over, the domestic game market began to improve, but It should be said that Chinese producers are experiencing the best era in domestic history. Looking at the world, the era of Chinese games is still cruel.

It was easy to get distracted when seeing the host, and in the end Fang Xi was awakened by Lu Wanqi's arm shaking.

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

Lu Wanqi gave him a blank glance:

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

Fang Xi pouted when he heard Lu Wanqi's explanation. He thought he could finally see the PS5 in another time and space, but he was still cooking cold rice.

"Why, aren't you optimistic about it?"

There was no way to say what it was like and Lu Wanqi, Fang Xi said vaguely: "No, it's just a pity that when we can be our own host."

Hearing Fang Xi's a little lost tone, Lu Wanqi smiled and stroked Fang Xi's head twice:

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

Fang Xi opened Lu Wanqi's hand unhappily.

"Are you my kid? I just lost it. When I dominate PC games, I will have more time to develop consoles. Then I will dominate the whole platform!"

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.

"Well, well, in the future, it will definitely be a full-platform hegemon." Lu Wanqi responded with a smile: "Then the future great designer Teacher Fang, should we go to see the next one?"

Fang Xi waved a big hand and learned from Prime Minister Cao: "The rest, the bones in the mound, are not enough to talk about you."

"Let's look at me, two days later, I shook the crowd."

Only the first two days of this exhibition were the first day of the show, and after that, they all collided according to the game, and Fang Xi's first chance to appear on stage was on the third day.
