Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Page 308

From the start to the end of the press conference, the website Youmin.com published eleven news items.

That's not all.

Back at the hotel, Chen Mo began analyzing the several new games that had already been leaked, which resulted in several more news items.

The same principle applies to 1717.

Besides.

The global gaming community was practically in an uproar.

Players of Girls Frontline, not to mention those who took GIFs from online videos and started watching the actual gameplay footage frame by frame.

I analyzed the game frame by frame to see exactly what it was like.

Even though the official announcement has stated that the game will be available for trial at the carnival tomorrow, it hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of many players.

The number of pre-registrations for "Girls' Frontline: Siege" on the Spark platform exceeded one million in just one or two hours after the launch.

Max, a famous American YouTuber, even posted a picture of his plane ticket on his social media.

He said he had received an invitation from Xinghuo, but he didn't go because he had other work to do.

However, after seeing the pre-carnival video tonight, MAX exclaimed, "To hell with work! I'm going to the carnival to play with the demos!!"

Chapter 372 Ticket Showdown Time!

MAX wasn't the only one looking forward to the demo the next day.

Three new titles, plus new promotional videos for Galaxy Paradise and Destiny's Path.

Following the conclusion of the eve of the Spark Global Carnival.

Global social media was buzzing with activity, with people sharing videos and expressing their anticipation and opinions on new games.

A very strange phenomenon also occurred.

Whether on Weibo, various forums, or Twitter and 2CH, a wave of players showing off their e-tickets appeared almost simultaneously.

In fact, this is to prevent ticket scalpers.

This year's Spark Carnival uses facial recognition for ticket purchases, meaning that when buying tickets online, you need to register your facial information.

After arriving at the scene.

Entry is via facial recognition.

Electronic tickets on mobile phones are more of a ritual.

Of course, in addition to electronic tickets.

Players can also collect a more commemorative paper ticket offline.

Why is the commemorative significance even greater?

Even if you have a paper ticket, you still need to scan your face to enter the venue.

However, the carnival didn't start until the next day, and the group of players didn't receive paper tickets.

That's why people are posting screenshots of their phone's eligibility.

The reason for this large-scale display of tickets is not because Spark's players like to show off, well... at least the original players didn't.

They did this because of another little incident.

Around the end of March or the beginning of April.

At that time, tickets for the Spark Global Carnival had just gone on sale.

To allow more players to participate, the Spark Carnival organizing committee has set a target of 12 visitors per day, dividing the event into morning, afternoon, and evening sessions.

Approximately 36 tickets were issued worldwide for the three shows.

Because each person can only buy one ticket.

Theoretically, these 36 tickets represent 36 users.

Because the voter base is relatively large.

So in the first few days of the sale, basically as long as your Spark account meets the purchase requirements, that is, you will have at least 50 hours of playtime in one game.

You can then buy tickets using your real name.

In other words, although tickets were being sold and were becoming increasingly scarce, there was no frenzy of buying.

On the one hand, facial recognition directly excluded most scalpers; on the other hand, the venue was, after all, in Qiongzhou.

Aside from a few coastal cities where you can take the high-speed rail.

In most places, you need to buy a plane ticket.

Even at half price, airfare is still a considerable expense.

Besides, if you go to Qiongzhou, you'll have to spend money on hotels and such.

This amount of money adds up to quite a bit.

The local Spark fans in Qiongzhou were very enthusiastic, but Spark releases tickets globally while slightly controlling the regions, such as releasing a certain number to Shanghai and a certain number to Chongqing. The tickets were only released into the larger pool on the second day after the first day ended.

In this situation.

The tickets for Qiongzhou were sold out first, but for a wider range of players, anyone who wanted to buy could buy them freely.

This was originally a very positive thing.

Put aside the scalpers and give players ample time to think and make judgments. They can ask for leave, invite friends, and even make travel plans in advance.

Then decide whether or not to buy a ticket.

Everyone is very happy.

But there is a group of people who are unhappy.

Those are professional ticket scalpers, or scalpers, because the tickets for the Spark Carnival are not expensive. They are 168 yuan in the morning and afternoon, and even lower at 128 yuan in the evening.

It's even lower than China Joy.

Therefore, many scalpers wait to buy up large quantities of tickets at low prices before reselling them.

pity.

After all, Xinghuo isn't a concert organizer, so there's no need for them to play along with these scalpers. Besides, Xinghuo is also a semi-tech company, and the venue has plenty of space.

First, they used accounts as a barrier to entry, and then they used facial recognition to make a living. They really don't give scalpers any way to survive.

The scalpers didn't make any money, and they didn't manage to hoard any tickets.

For them, it's not a matter of indifference; it's a matter of "being entitled" to not make the money they were supposed to earn, a loss for them.

Since Spark made them lose money, they were naturally unhappy to watch.

Seeing that the tickets for Xinghuo were "not selling," that guy suddenly became the talk of the town online, mocking and predicting its failure.

In addition, there have been quite a few people who have had a falling out with Xinghuo in the past two years.

As a result, many media outlets followed suit and predicted its failure.

They say the Spark program is no longer working, and tickets aren't selling.

There were also comments mocking Spark for reserving tickets for foreign players.

Who would spend thousands on a plane ticket to attend a gaming carnival? Do they really think they're EA, Gamescom, or JD.com?

Ridiculously funny.

Last year's ChinaJoy only attracted a few thousand foreign visitors.

This argument continued until early April, after Xinghuo had successfully sold out all its tickets.

Conversely, seeing that the tickets were sold out before the event even started, these scalpers became even more sarcastic, but there was nothing they could do about it.

A moment later, he made sarcastic remarks about those who bought tickets to the Spark event, calling them fools with too much money.

A moment later, Yin Yang Xing Huo said that Xing Huo had adjusted the ratio of domestic to international tickets.

At the time, some Spark players argued with these scalpers, but overall, most players ignored these clowns.

Originally, this matter...

It was just a minor incident; it'll be over soon.

But tonight, because of the great success of the Spark Carnival, some impatient players went to scalpers, wanting to buy tickets at the last minute.

Some players even said they had plenty of money and just wanted to get tickets.

Faced with a large demand.

The scalpers are really in a hurry; they're running around in circles.

They started looking for tickets everywhere.

What kind of ticket should I look for?

Find those whose face shape is similar to the buyer's.

In order to find sources of goods more quickly, some even posted the employer's photo on Weibo and offered high prices for the number.

There were also some scalpers at the beginning.

He used his own face and that of some friends to hoard several tickets.

Seeing that the market was booming, they directly released these photos, priced at five thousand or ten thousand.

However, these tickets aren't something you can just buy whenever you want. The requirement is that you look at least 7% like the owner of these tickets. As long as you look even a little bit like them, the scalpers promise to get you in.

As for what method? What other method could there be? Protest at the scene on the day itself...

It’s the same old routine.

The scalpers started going crazy.

At this moment.

Those normal players who had been mocked then discovered that these accounts were now crying and begging to be bought by the players.

And those shameless people who set high prices are the same people who were making sarcastic remarks about them just a few days ago.

This time, the players really couldn't stand it anymore.

It's worth noting that players who buy tickets without even seeing a demo are either die-hard fans of Spark or at least players who have a certain level of appreciation for the franchise.

Many of them watched the grand promises made by Lin Li during the Spark Night online.

The level of excitement is at its peak.

This kind of excitement needs to be released.

The scalpers' shady tactics undoubtedly ran right into the excited Spark players.

Chapter 373 Spark Makes a Move

Tonight, the scalpers aren't just encountering a few players, but a large group of players who are excited after watching Spark Games, a group of players who are so excited about playing the demo tomorrow that they can't sleep.

They began relentlessly pursuing the group of scalpers.

At first, these scalper accounts were able to put up a couple of arguments.

But soon, a large number of Spark players who had heard the news flocked to QQ groups and WeChat, and their accounts were overwhelmed by the scalpers.

Many scalper accounts were shut down after being reported for violating the privacy of others by posting photos of their employers.

"Even the official facial recognition system is in place, and these scalpers are still trying to exploit loopholes. They deserve to die."

Players are rushing to buy scalpers.

The scalpers were naturally not convinced either.

Some scalpers whose main accounts were banned are now using secondary accounts to claim they are being cyberbullied and need to apply for legal aid.

Some people even leaked lawyer consultation letters.

He also boasted that he had recorded all the people who criticized him on his account.

We need to send lawyer's letters to each of them individually.
