Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

He spoke slowly after a moment.

"It's hard to say. Alex is facing a dilemma. On the one hand, he may still be determined to pursue his dream and is unwilling to give up everything he has worked so hard for so easily. But on the other hand, we don't know if he can withstand the pressure of public opinion."

"I never realized it before, but after hearing your story today, I realize that this politically correct LGBT ideology is really harmful."

"Who says it isn't?"

After the conversation, the room fell silent for a moment. The night outside the window was as dark as ink, and the stars twinkled faintly in the night sky.

Lin Li and Su Shanshan rested at the hotel.

The media didn't get a break.

The first day of the Summer Game Demo Festival started in the morning and lasted until the evening.

The entire gaming industry is like a machine gun loaded with bullets.

News reports kept coming out.

For real gamers.

What they really care about is the game itself, and the feedback the game festival brings them.

Broadly speaking...

The game festival received rave reviews from gamers worldwide. Putting aside the games, the organization alone amazed many Americans.

"It has to be Xinghuo, with over 100,000 people, arranged so efficiently."

"There was no chaos at all, which was surprising."

“As I said before, only the Chinese can be so organized.”

"Those who are surprised should take the time to visit China. This is not a miracle, but the daily life of the Chinese people."

From the central plaza to the queue for entry, and then to the trial play.

The entire process is documented in videos all over the internet.

The players were clearly very satisfied with this.

What players appreciated most was the ingenious idea of ​​putting all the demos together.

"I have to give the person who invented this a big kiss."

"This is absolutely the best demo event I've ever participated in."

Besides the players.

Many media outlets also gave positive reviews to the summer game demo event.

Chapter 348 Different Hot Topics

In the past, when players attended exhibitions, they had to deduct the time spent traveling between different booths and the time spent queuing.

down one day.

You might not even be able to play many popular games.

But at the Summer Games Festival.

From the moment you sit down at your computer, a full hour belongs to the player.

No need to queue.

There won't be situations where you queue for one or two hours, only to find the game incredibly boring and a complete waste of time.

At the Summer Games Festival.

If you're feeling bored, turn it off immediately and play another game you like; that's the best option.

After the first day of the event, online discussions among players skyrocketed.

The incident started when a player who bought two tickets boasted about it online.

It means that he/she had a good time.

When the Summer Game Trial Festival was being offered for pre-sale, we considered that some players might feel that one hour was not enough time, and also that some players might be coming from afar.

People fly for hours to get here, only to spend an hour there, even though there's a huge central square to explore.

It's not entirely without its problems.

Therefore, when selling tickets, a player can only buy a maximum of two tickets, and there is a prompt when purchasing.

That is, two hours.

However, many people did not use this permission at the time.

People are constantly sharing their regrets and triumphs online, creating a considerable wave of discussion.

Overall.

Putting aside these minor details.

Regarding the Summer Games Festival's trial event format, both players and media...

They all gave it extremely high praise.

The debut of Lost Paradise received a lot of positive feedback from players.

to be frank.

Lin Li himself had played this demo, and he knew very well that it had quite a few problems; in essence, it was just an unformed idea.

This includes the game's pace, weapons, and even various victory conditions.

They all still require a lot of time to refine.

But then again.

Although the demo had many problems, viewers watching the live stream wouldn't notice them; what they would notice were the many differences in the game itself.

And interesting events encountered by various live streamers during gameplay.

Some games are worth playing.

Some games, however, are naturally suitable for watching.

The demo for Lost Paradise leans more towards the latter.

At least for now.

Players who tried the demo had a positive review rate of around 80% after the demo ended, but the online discussion about Lost Paradise was quite heated.

It truly exceeded my expectations.

The main reason is that this game is so good at creating entertaining content. There are even streamers on the internet who, when playing the game, do nothing but hide in a closet and suddenly appear to stab someone when they come. Although they can't kill them, they can scare them.

There are also prop houses made using various tools.

Lots of fun.

A large amount of gameplay footage circulated online, and that very night, players created a compilation of iconic scenes from Lost Paradise.

The video edited together the reactions of bloggers around the world who played Lost Paradise.

This surprised Lin Li somewhat.

This also gave Starfire, the American engine studio that produced Lost Paradise, even greater confidence in the project.

Besides.

At the Summer Spark Games Festival.

Both Naraka: Imperishable and Conqueror's Blade, which released demos, have received positive reviews.

The success of Eternal Abyss was not entirely unexpected.

The combat is exhilarating, the gameplay has been proven, and the graphics are enhanced by the Starfire engine.

Ultimately, it received 95% positive reviews.

Overall, it was a very good performance.

The reputation of Zhan Yi is somewhat surprising.

In fact.

If Lin Li were to choose the game he least favored among these games, it would definitely be War Intent.

As a game that was already in development and ready for public beta testing.

Changing one's fighting spirit is extremely difficult.

Not to mention, after seeing Black Myth, Eternal Hell, and so on.

Zhan Yi also changed its charging model to a buy-out system.

It has become a buy-to-play online game.

This kind of change requires just as much work as changing the game engine.

After changing the gameplay, the development team also made a large-scale update to the game content.

The current version of Conqueror's Blade is far superior to the original in terms of both balance and large-scale battles.

This also surprised many European and American players.

Mount & Blade Plus

Some people even posted the War Blade demo on the Mount & Blade forum, and it received pretty good reviews.

These three games, along with the opening ceremony's *Black Myth*,

Four games from China.

They frequently appear in news reports in global media.

This includes both the promotional efforts of Spark and the fact that these games genuinely generate buzz.

In contrast to the phenomenal performance of Chinese manufacturers this time.

Other manufacturers didn't generate as much buzz on the day of the trial event.

This is mainly because...

Many manufacturers make grand promises but fail to provide players with any demos to satisfy their desires.

For example, Nintendo.

Despite stealing the spotlight at the opening and even overshadowing the popularity of Black Myth, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom did not offer a playable demo at the event.

This directly led to...

The number of people in the Switch demo area has never been very large.

I should also mention this.

At the Summer Game Festival's demo area, the number of PCs was determined by the number of players, while XBOX, PS4, and Switch were additional options.

Although tickets were sold for 10,000 people to enter four large venues simultaneously, there were a total of 14000 devices on site that day.

If you don't want to play on PC, you can go to the console section.

This ensures the greatest possible diversity of player experiences.

Unlike the PC version where each person gets a ticket, the console version is first-come, first-served.

However, most players did not choose the console region, mainly because most console games also have demos on PC, and you would have to go to the console.

There weren't many games available for trial.

For example, Nintendo.

Although a trailer for the new Zelda game was shown, no actual gameplay demo was shown at the event.

The only games available for hands-on demos are The Witcher 3, No More Heroes 3, and Star Soul Chain. You can't say they're not fun, but they're not exactly blockbusters.

The only new demo that generated significant buzz was Animal Crossing.

It's not that Animal Crossing isn't fun, but the game requires time to appreciate, and in the fast-paced environment of an exhibition, it's not very appealing.

Microsoft's games do have a lot of big names.

Gears 5 and Halo Infinite are both heavyweight titles.
