Inside the experience store.
Many people were in the hall, surrounding the TV to watch TGN's annual Game Awards Ceremony.
"Hey, didn't you say that the manager is here? Where is he?"
"There are so many people in the audience. I don't think these foreigners would purposely give the manager a shot, right?"
"What's there to be afraid of? When it's time to go up on stage to receive the award, there's no way we won't show the cameras."
"This place is so big, so grand! Even the host feels empty on stage. Luckily, the camera is close! "
"How many awards has it been? Did you win an award before? "
"Yes, Dark Souls won Best RPG Game, League of Legends won Best Operation, and Super Mario Bros. Odyssey won Best Family Game, and League of Legends EC won Best Esports Team. "
"Only a few?"
"… F * ck, that's TGN. There aren't many prizes in total. Do you think you're selling cabbages? Wholesale by weight?"
"There are a lot of awards, but they're all within reason. Dark Souls fits the Western audience's taste so well, it's not unreasonable for it to get Best RPG. League of Legends S2 is even bigger this year, and the number of players and revenue are higher. It's not unreasonable for it to get Best Operation."
"That's right. The key lies in the annual game!"
"Is anyone watching the Game Committee's awards ceremony? How many awards has Sister Goldfish won? "
"The Game Committee's award ceremony? Do you want to watch it or not? Why are they all bought by the store manager? There's no suspense! "
The TGN Awards Ceremony was being broadcasted on the TV in the lobby of the experience store. Many Thunderbolt Entertainment employees and players were squeezed in front of the TV, waiting for the Game of the Year.
Coincidentally, the Game Committee's award ceremony clashed with TGN's award ceremony, so Chen Mo didn't go and had Su Jinyu go instead.
However, most people didn't pay attention to it. To Chen Mo, Dark Souls was the winner of the Game of the Year last year. There was no point in paying attention to it. Su Jinyu could just show off on stage and be done with it.
The key was still TGN.
As one of the most authoritative gaming media in the world, TGN's ratings were objective, fair, and just. There wasn't an official organization like the Game Committee in the world that could control all the video game companies, so the annual games could only be judged by the video game media.
And no domestic game designer has ever won the honor of Game of the Year on a global scale.
"It's here, it's time for the highlight. Game of the Year!"
TGN's stage was huge. They had been waiting for a long time. The latest promotional videos of several games were also played on the big screen, including "Super Mario Bros. The Odyssey's New Year's special downloadable content also caused cheers from the audience.
After the preparations were complete, the host went on stage again.
The host of TGN was a handsome young man who had been hosting TGN's award ceremony for many years. To many overseas viewers, he was already a familiar face.
When the host came to the front of the stage, the entire place was silent. In the experience store, the people in front of the TV didn't even breathe.
Everyone knew that it was time for the Game of the Year Award Ceremony!
The host cleared his throat solemnly and said in an extremely solemn tone, "This year is a special year. It's also a year of rapid development in the gaming industry. There are many disruptive masterpieces in the gaming industry, and the competition for the Best of the Year award is very fierce. "
"And the most surprising thing this year is the sudden rise of Chinese games. In fact, Thunderbolt Games had already been nominated for the Best Esports Award with League of Legends last year. But at that time, we have to say that they were still a very young company, and weren't qualified to compete for the Game of the Year award. "
"But this year, Thunderbolt Games has made a strong showing with Dark Souls and Super Mario Bros. Odyssey. These two games have entered our sights, and will be competing with the world's top video game publishers for the Game of the Year award. "
"This is a very good sign for TGN. We're looking forward to the rise of more video game publishers, adding fuel to the fire in the video game industry all over the world. Now, let's welcome the TGN Orchestra to perform a song for all the nominated games! "
The camera cut. Since it was a close-up of the host, the people in front of the TV didn't notice that an entire orchestra was ready on stage.
First was a close-up of the violinist, then the camera zoomed out so that the audience could see the whole scene.
On the huge stage, an entire orchestra was playing the theme music for the games, and the big screen was showing clips of the games.
These were all the classic games of the year, and the music for each game was about a minute long.
"Oh, Scarlet Coast!"
"Dawn of the Gods 4!"
"Desperate Pursuit 3!"
"Oh my god, TGN's Game of the Year has players like this, isn't that too scary? These are the masterpieces of the big companies that we could only look up to! "
"It's here, it's here! [Dark Souls]! It seems like they're seeing the prequels and the prequels as a series! "
"Yeah, since they came out in the same year, they can basically be seen as large-scale DLC."
"To be honest, I'm a little worried. Dark Souls has already won Best RPG, can it still get Game of the Year?"
"I don't know, let's keep watching."
"Oh? Knight's Glory? Wow, that's a shady deal, how can a player of this level be nominated for Game of the Year? "
"… Save them some face, it's a GA product, and it even uses the latest Origin engine. Don't you think you're being a little overbearing by not letting them accompany you?"
"Hey, why is there Odyssey!"
"Wow, Super Mario? Odyssey is really something. Everyone else is just playing the game's music, but it's directly singing the theme song! "
"I remember that at that time, they directly invited European and American singers to perform, so it was quite convenient to invite them to the venue …"
Many people in front of their televisions were surprised. It was reasonable for Dark Souls to be nominated, but Super Mario Bros. Many people were surprised that "The Odyssey" was nominated.
Although this game was good, it was not as influential as Dark Souls in the country. Strictly speaking, it was not as influential as Brutal Murder.
For many players, "Super Mario Bros. "Odyssey" had only done a good job of protecting the switch, but it didn't have that much of an impact.
However, in the eyes of TGN's judges, it was fully capable of competing for the honor of Game of the Year.
