Chapter 320 The winner of the annual choice award is—

now!

The focus of the whole audience is on the stage!

As one of the four major game awards in the world, GDCA is not only one of the most important awards in the world's game industry, but also the longest-running awards event in the game industry.

In the past twelve years, GDCA has been committed to awarding awards to games that have unique innovative significance, good reputation and good design.

“And this year it's the same!”

The host said:

"GDCA always adheres to the concepts of fairness, justice, innovation and comprehensiveness, and selects games that are loved and praised by the player market, media colleagues and organizing committee judges to compete for this year's [Annual Choice Award]!"

"Then I announce! The 13th GDCA Game Awards, the games nominated for the [Annual Choice Award] are:"

"Comella Game Group's "Night Owl" - he is the Night Owl in the raging war, roaring in the rolling tide of history. The ultrhigh operating difficulty and rich plot complement each other, and won the best action game of the year!"

Wow—

Along with the applause, the award-winning representative from Comela stood up and paid tribute to the audience.

The host's voice continued:

"Raging Flame Game Technology Co., Ltd.'s "Burning F1" - the anxiety on the field is the fiery storm caused by the rapid rotation of the turbine, and it is also the enthusiasm of the brave drivers to surpass the speed of life and death. They experience the thrill of adrenaline surge at an unprecedented speed and won the award. The best racing game of the year!"

"Anoli Game Studio's "White Plan" - a unique Germanic perspective. As one of the initiators of the world war, when you have to point your gun at civilians for the first time, the huge trauma of war has never been so concrete. , won the best shooting game of the year!"

As the host introduced the nominated games one by one, the audience burst into applause.

And with the announcement of the last game nomination, the warm applause and cheers at the scene reached a climax!

"Golden Wind Game Company's "Overwatch" - the arrival of the golden light brings an immortal monument to heroes, and the unprecedented combination of skills and shooting finally ushered in its most successful standard answer. It is a new trend, and it has opened up The pioneer of a new generation of multiplayer online battle shooting games, with the first data of millions of players online at the same time, it has already declared its undoubted success and won the best online game award of the year!”

Amid warm applause!

Gu Sheng was the last one to stand up and motion to all the applauding audience, enjoying the last wave of honorable mention cheers in this award ceremony.

Four awards, one nomination, and a wave of successful announcements.

It's not in vain that the two core senior executives, Xiao Nezha and I, came to the scene in person.

Gu Sheng sat down and looked at Shen Miaomiao.

Little Nezha smiled, walked next to Gu Sheng and joked:

"Interviewing Mr. Gu, there were four more trophies from one of the world's four major game awards in the trophy cabinet overnight. What was it like?"

"Ahem, the experience is..."

Gu Sheng pretended to be interviewed, held his hands in front of his chest, and said seriously:

"It's not enough. I hope I can increase my efforts in the future and strive to win a Grand Slam as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Shen Miaomiao lightly patted Gu Sheng and said with a smile: "That's silly..."

As the two joked around in the vendor seats, the guest who presented tonight's final award also appeared on the stage - Al Torres, founder of United Enterprise Media Technology Network and former chairman and CEO of the board of directors.

Torres is seventy-five years old this year. He is slightly fatter, has white hair, is not tall, and looks a bit like his old uncle Anthony Hopkins.

Although he was not young, he was energetic. He walked onto the stage, nodded politely to the host, and then took out the envelope that had been sealed early in the morning and was waiting to be opened at this time.

In an instant, the venue fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, waiting for the announcement of the final grand prize.

Under the attention of everyone, old Torres opened the envelope, took out the list of winners inside, unfolded it, and slowly said:

"I announce that the games that won the 13th GDCA Annual Choice Awards are -!"

As soon as this statement came out!

Wow!

There was a loud shout in the field!

【them? 】

two?

The audience was slightly commotion, and the media from all walks of life looked at me and me in shock!

The final prize tonight is actually a double-yolked egg? !

This is an unprecedented situation!

At this moment, there was even more heated discussion on the barrage—

'Holy shit! two! '

'How difficult it is to judge, but there is a tie for first place! '

'Fuck...fuck, f*ck, f*ck...I seem to have a sudden feeling of a surprise coming...'

'Me too! '

'Wori! No way...there's no way anyone can really wear one and five, right? '

'That's too scary...'

'Hou Li Crab, the twelve-year death list is going to be broken tonight? '

'Sh-sh- coming, coming, coming! ! '

Much anticipated!

I saw old Torres announcing to the winner list card:

"The games that won the 13th GDCA Annual Choice Awards are -"

"Anoli Game Studio - "White Plan""

"as well as!"

Having said this, Old Torres put down his card and smiled slightly:

"Golden Wind Games Company—"

"Overwatch"

boom-! !

The scene exploded instantly!

It's surprising enough that two works tied for first place in this year's Annual Choice Awards!

What is even more shocking is that Overwatch has clearly entered the "death list" considered by almost everyone, and won this year's Best Online Game Award in one fell swoop. In theory, it has no chance of being selected as the Game of the Year.

However, with its excellent quality and groundbreaking performance, it suddenly escaped from the death list and entered the annual selection award, the largest award of GDCA this year, becoming the first person to win this honor in thirteen years. Competitive online games!

The audience was shocked, the media were shocked, even Shen Miaomiao and Gu Sheng were shocked!

Especially Gu Sheng.

Damn it? !

I even took off my **** suit jacket, and you told me that I was going to go on stage to receive an award again? !

Therefore, when the live broadcast screen cut over, the audience saw a surprised Gu Sheng putting on his coat.

For a moment, the well-intentioned exclamations in the field and the commotion on the barrage echoed each other, like a wave as high as the next—

'Hahahahaha, the old thief is confused'

'One wears five! One wears five! '

'That's so awesome! Damn it! Five grand prizes in one party! Is this just making history? ! '

'Don't say this is an unprecedented peak for a Chinese gaming company. Looking at the global gaming community, the only company that can win five of the four awards is Xiao Huang's family! '

'The little scalper is awesome! The old thief is awesome! (Breaking sound)'' But there is one thing to say. The GDCA organizing committee is indeed fair and impartial. After all, if you don't look at it through the colored glasses of online games, whether it is the quality of the game or its influence, Overwatch will win the annual choice award. Well deserved'

'The only shortcoming is that there is no plot, but in other aspects it is much better than its opponents'

"The old thief is really a destroyer of the gaming industry. His insights and creativity in the gaming field have seriously surpassed the model..."

"This brother from GDCA is good at delivering. He really gives out prizes when the quality is up to standard. He doesn't even consider the issue of one company being the only one."

'What if we can hold the event for thirteen consecutive years and still be among the top four awards? As long as we are qualified to win, we will give out the prize.'

'Awesome—! ! '

In a commotion!

Just see both sides of the stage!

Gu Sheng from China and Ivan Anoli, director of Anoli Studio from Eastern Europe, shared the stage.

Anoli is not too old this year. He looks about thirty-four or five years old. He has a typical Eastern European appearance. He is tall and strong, with deep eye sockets and brown hair. He does not look like a game designer, but more like a game designer. A boxing athlete.

Here, as soon as Gu Sheng came on stage, he saw Anoly rushing towards him with three steps and two steps, as if he was going to fight.

Even Gu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Anoli grinned and stretched out his hands to him excitedly:

"Hello, hello, Sam. I've heard about his name for a long time, but today I finally met him in person. I'm so excited."

After saying that, he gave Gu Sheng an excited hug, which gave him a feeling of success in chasing stars.

"Hello,"

Gu Sheng was dumbfounded by the sudden enthusiasm. He shook hands and hugged Anoli repeatedly:

"Congratulations to your company, let's receive the award together..."

With that said, the two walked to the center of the stage together, and with the help of the hostess, they received the crystal trophy awarded to them by Torres.

And when the two men, one on the left and one on the right, stood on either side of the old Torres and raised the trophy, the flashing lights off the court suddenly turned into a sea of ​​stars.

Then, with Old Torres's signal and Anoli's frequent humility, Gu Sheng took the lead in coming to the podium and delivered his acceptance speech.

This is not a difficult task for Gu Sheng, who is good at talking.

Although he was not prepared in advance, Gu Sheng, a big liar of this level, was still able to win waves of laughter and warm applause from the audience through perfect improvisation:

"...Finally, thank you again to the GDCA Organizing Committee for awarding us this award,"

"It is your professionalism that gives us recognition and gives us the courage to move forward bravely,"

"At the same time, I would like to thank all the Overwatch players around the world again."

Speaking of which!

Gu Sheng raised the trophy in his hand:

"This is your collective honor,"

"This world needs more heroes!"

Wow! !

There was thunderous applause!

And among the barrage in the live broadcast room, the screen was even more frantic: "I have been summoned and must respond, as always!" 】

Since then!

The haze of the Garden Warfare defeat that once frustrated the Gold Experience team has been completely wiped away.

Two million people from all over the world witnessed the announcement!

On the first day of launch, millions of players around the world were playing online at the same time!

Then the sales in a single week broke the sales record of somatosensory cabin competitive online games, reaching a terrifying three million sets in a single week!

until now!

It has successively won the [Best Online Game of the Year] and the final award [Year Choice Award]!

With more than 95% of rave reviews on both platforms, and the popularity of Overwatch among players, Overwatch is like a new emperor ascending the throne, becoming the undisputed king of global shooting competitive online games, and starting a new era of dominance!

Gu Sheng's speech won bursts of applause and constant screams.

And Anoli, who spoke after him, was a thunderbolt at the opening. His first words on the stage were "I am very excited to stand on the same podium with Sam, because I am his super fan."

As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly exclaimed and whistles sounded one after another.

You know, although Anoli Studio is not a veteran team in the gaming circle, it is a medium-sized game production group after all, and it has been established for nearly ten years.

But it is such a studio that has turned Gu Shengshi, who has only been in the industry for less than five years, into a super idol. This is really unexpected and even a bit ridiculous.

However, Anoli didn't seem to be joking.

According to him, about two or three years ago, Anoli Studio was in dire straits.

At that time, they had just become a mid-sized manufacturer and were eager to seek more rapid growth. They spent huge sums of money to create a somatosensory cabin game, but failed miserably. The huge losses almost made it difficult for them to continue to maintain the operation of the team.

However, at this desperate moment, Golden Wind came out and refreshed the market's long-standing understanding of shooting games with "Long 4 Survival".

And the phrase "MFGA" by its chief designer Gu Sheng is even more memorable and inspiring.

Therefore, Anoli decided to lead the team to fight to the death, using all the remaining wealth to create a second-generation FPS independent game with a plot.

It was this game that saved them from dire straits.

Therefore, it seems not an exaggeration to say that Gu Sheng is the savior of Anoli Studio.

Later, with the rapid growth of Golden Wind, the emergence of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Titanfall", "Escape", "Sekiro", "Peak Kingdom" and other works made Anoli become a die-hard fan of Gu Sheng. .

even!

Today's "White Plan" is also the story pattern that Anoli realized after conducting an in-depth analysis of the plot of "Sekiro":

"In fact, what attracts me most about Sekiro is the entry point of the story perspective. In previous games, our main perspective would actually be on Genichiro,"

"Because he is the true monarch who protects the country at all costs, even at the cost of his life, for the sake of the justice of his family and country,"

"But Sekiro did not use him as the protagonist. Instead, he used a loyal ninja as the protagonist, thus cutting into this war-torn fictional world."

"This is very surprising to me,"

"So I set my sights on modern wars,"

"For a long time, in modern war games, we have always focused on the side being invaded,"

"To embody their resistance, their anger, their misery,"

"But this time, I wanted to change my thinking, so I focused on the Nazi Germany at that time,"

"Under this unique perspective, players will serve as executioners and witness the loss of countless lives, the shattering of countless families, and the cruelty of war from another perspective, and reflect on the indelible and huge consequences of war on mankind. trauma,"

"Although this work has been criticized continuously since its publication, the anti-war determination we want to embody has never changed,"

"Thank you also to the GDCA organizing committee and all the players,"

"It is your recognition that has brought this work to such a high level,"

"We will continue to work on this aspect from now on,"

"May there be peace in the world and may war never come again,"

"Thanks…"
