Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

It only took the two of them half a month to go from a blind date to officially starting a relationship.

So, Xiang Yufei originally didn't plan to bring her today. After all, it's like summer sparks, those who know, know.

However, Yumi Shinkawa insisted on going along, and luckily managed to snag a ticket.

Xiang Yufei had no choice but to take her with him.

Fortunately, Xiang Yufei had done his research beforehand and knew that in addition to the swimsuit girls, there would also be a Gundam game booth at the Summer Spark Expo today.

So after entering the venue, I went straight to the Gundam booth.

As mentioned before, Gundam Battlegrounds is a key focus of this year's Summer Spark program, so there is a dedicated Gundam venue in both Tokyo and Hainan.

Upon entering the Gundam venue, Xiang Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, because here, at least there weren't so many scantily clad cosplayers; all the cosplayers here were wearing latex suits.

Although there was something wrong with it to some extent, at least Xiang Yufei's eyes were able to open up and look around.

~~~

"Friends here!! We are about to begin the first round of gameplay!!! Interested players can take a seat in the demo area!"

The entire Gundam exhibition hall was a huge tent, with a large main stage inside and 32 demo machines on each side. The host on the stage was introducing the demo activities.

"Let's queue up; there aren't many people queuing here."

Xiang Yufei really likes Gundam.

My first favorite anime was Gundam SEED, and I later watched 0079 and a whole bunch of other anime. I also bought a lot of model kits, although these hobbies have gradually faded away over time.

But the impression of the Gundam IP is still deeply rooted in my mind.

Therefore, with his girlfriend by his side, he might find it difficult to attend swimsuit shows or anything like that, but he absolutely has to play the Gundam Battlefield demo.

Not to mention that he is now an employee of Spark Entertainment, and playing their own games more often will give him something to talk about when he gets back to the office.

There were quite a few people queuing up, but since it was the swimsuit cosplay performance time, most of the crowd was watching the swimsuit performance at the beach area.

Therefore, although there were many people at the Gundam Battlegrounds venue, it was not yet crowded.

After waiting for less than half an hour, Xiang Yufei and Shinkawa Yumi got to play the game. They were quite lucky; the other players had played the land battle version, while they got to play the space battle version.

It's worth noting that the biggest difference between this Gundam Battlegrounds demo version and previous ones is the introduction of space battles and a tutorial storyline.

Therefore, when the host said that this was a space station, not only Xiang Yufei, but also many passers-by in the audience became excited.

This excitement became even more pronounced after Xiang Yufei sat down and put on his headphones, unlike the previous Gundam battlefield.

This time, a beginner's storyline has been added, so right from the start, Xiang Yufei hears a series of urgent alarms.

"Attention! Attention! Attention! As per the flagship's instructions, this ship is scheduled to enter the designated battlefield in 10 minutes."

"Captain's order!! The entire ship is to enter a state of first-level combat readiness. All personnel are to immediately take their combat positions. Pilot crews, including reserve pilot crews, are to proceed to the hangar for preparation."

"Attention! Attention! Attention!.."

"The port side of the warship is under attack. Pilots, please proceed to the hangar as soon as possible and complete sortie preparations."

As the alarm sounded, the game screen came into view, showing a group of soldiers wearing Gundam SEED Federation uniforms.

First, there was a long, narrow corridor.

The camera then pans to a huge hangar.

Inside this huge, enclosed hangar, rows of blue and white mechs stand tall, each with its corresponding scaffolding behind it.

The maintenance team, dressed in work clothes and secured by safety ropes, moved up and down the massive mech, systematically placing ammunition and various weapons and equipment onto it.

Chapter 401 Super Immersive Experience

Due to its age, Xiang Yufei no longer has much influence on SEED. Fortunately, the burly man next to him is clearly a fanatical Gundam fan.

"Wow, a short sword! A dueling short sword, so cool! I know... I still prefer the Earth Federation's style."

To Xiang Yufei's left sat his girlfriend, and to his right was a burly man wearing a red Zeon T-shirt. This man was at least 1.8 meters tall, and not only was he tall, but he also had a thick waist.

His voice was quite loud; Xiang Yufei could hear his exclamation even with his headphones on. Clearly, although this guy was a bit burly, he was also a Gundam enthusiast.

I was immediately awestruck upon entering the hangar.

Looking out from here, there's an endless expanse of Gundams. The noisy environment and the bustling atmosphere of the ground crew immediately put you into the zone.

This kind of scene is indeed a novel experience that cannot be brought about by watching animation.

It's even better than the previous demo. The ground battles in the previous Gundam Battlefield demo were great, but the sense of immersion was lacking.

This tutorial mission doesn't immediately put players in control of a Gundam, but it actually enhances the sense of immersion. The scenario of a fleet being attacked and needing to be deployed urgently is also quite engaging.

soon.

The characters in the animation walked towards their respective mechs under the guidance of the ground crew.

Since this is a beginner level, there is no option for players to choose their own mech. All players are given the Earth Federation's most basic mech, the Dagger.

Upon reaching the high entrance platform, the view didn't immediately switch to the outside perspective, but rather directly entered the cabin's view.

"Holy crap, this is the view from inside the cockpit?!"

Xiang Yufei immediately swore, and it wasn't just him; the people around him, the audience below the stage, and even those who were already cheering wildly were also applauding.

A Gundam's interior view!!

Few Gundam games are willing to include an interior view, partly because there is very little information about the environment inside the Gundam cabin, and partly because the interior view is not very comfortable to use.

However, comfort is one thing, but once you sit inside the cabin, the sense of immersion and engagement is something that a third-person perspective simply cannot replace.

Looking at the rows of buttons inside the machine, Xiang Yufei realized something very important at that moment.

Why isn't there a tutorial to teach him how to start the mech?

Just at this moment of daze.

The alarm sounded again in the hangar, and the ground crew began to evacuate. At the same time, the communication screen in Yu Fei's cockpit began to light up slowly. As the cockpit slowly closed, various indicator lights also lit up in turn.

As the last ground crew member left, the hangar fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the temporary controller from the bridge echoed throughout the hangar.

"Squadron 0071 will launch in 15 seconds. All personnel, prepare for battle. Please pay close attention to the fleet's instructions and follow the leader's command."

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"This is so awesome! I'm going to cry."

Even though Xiang Yufei was wearing headphones, he could still hear the excitement of those around him.

This is not hard to understand, because even he felt that the scene in front of him and the sound effects coming from the headphones could indeed immerse him almost instantly.

at the same time.

A battlefield objective also spawned on the left.

Gundam Battlefield

Current Mission: Warfront - Phase One [Newbie Assault]

Condition: Destroy one enemy aircraft

Reward for achieving this: 100 military merits

Failure penalty: None

Mission Summary: Before you lies a boundless battlefield, where countless sparks dance and brilliant light scatters, illuminating the dark starry sky. But this is hardly a beautiful place, especially for newcomers to the battlefield.

---

This is a battlefield mission.

This is also a new feature added to the new Gundam Battlefield demo.

For a large-scale battlefield game.

The player's gaming experience will be quickly worn away within ten hours after the game ends.

Although it was a large battlefield.

Or rather, shooting games inherently possess a strong feedback mechanism, with each kill and each point awarded.

It also has a very high degree of randomness.

The game you played last time was completely different from the game you played this time.

But a good one.

Battleground missions that run throughout the season do make the game more interesting.

Military merits and ranks are part of this system.

After looking at the task panel, Xiang Yufei nodded, still bewildered.

Because at this point...

The game still didn't tell Xiang Yufei how to operate it.

Fortunately, perhaps heeded Xiang Yufei's call, the beginner's tutorial he had been waiting for finally arrived.

[Player detected entering space battlefield for the first time]

[Control mode forcibly switched to strong assist mode]

[Accessibility settings are now in effect]

[Note: Under strong support, the machine's maximum capabilities will be limited, and some specific maneuvers will be impossible.]

[Please note the brief operating instructions for the unit in strong support mode.]

Amid a series of prompts, 15 seconds quickly passed. Before I could even glance at the operating instructions, I heard the sound of a whole machine lifting. Then, a row of square openings appeared in the ceiling of the hangar, accompanied by vibrations from the floor.

All the mechs in the hangar slowly rose up and appeared directly in space.

Looking out from the cockpit, all that could be seen was pitch blackness, dotted with countless warships gleaming with silver light. In the distance, various lasers pierced the darkness, and sparks could be seen from time to time.

Every seemingly insignificant spark represents the outcome of a battle. Just then, the warship beneath Xiang Yufei's feet also shot out countless rays of light into the distance.

Almost every second, every minute, warships were destroyed or exploded.

The scene of one's own short sword being blown up by the opponent's Zaku, or the enemy's Zaku being shredded and exploded by one's own Zaku, was such a cruel and tragic battle scene that, in Xiang Yufei's vision, was a dazzling display of fireworks.

While Xiang Yufei was still in a daze, the others on the deck had already walked to the catapult deck of the warship in order and were flying out to the battlefield. Soon, it should be Xiang Yufei's turn.

Press the W key to fly to the designated location.

Just as Xiang Yufei was staring blankly at the data on the various instruments in the cockpit, as well as the various buttons and joysticks, he was completely bewildered.

The tutorial is out.

So I followed the prompt and pressed the W key.

Xiang Yufei finally took control of the giant MS and took his first step onto the battlefield.

Once you've taken the first step, the rest will be much easier.

Soon, Xiang Yufei understood the entire operation process.

The operation is actually not complicated.

Compared to land combat.

Space warfare is much more flexible. Although some basic operations are the same as on land, the feel of the operation is completely different.

They will all receive [System Assistance] in the previous beginner PVE dungeons.

Chapter 402 Battlefield Background

In assist mode.

Most of the mech's actions are completed automatically by the system, including dodging and blocking enemy attacks. Players only need to control the mech's direction, select the attack target, and decide when to fire; the rest is handled by the system.

Of course, the system will provide prompts to the player when performing maneuvers such as dodging and blocking, informing them how these actions are performed.

Once the player operates this function themselves.

Then this accessibility feature will be turned off.

Take a simple example.
