December 7th, Saturday …
In Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Qiao Liang, Cui Geng, and a few other online authors were playing games in the new version of GOG while paying attention to the big screen not far away.
With the rapid development of Zhongdian Chinese Network, Cui Geng, the dove spirit, was now considered a reputable big boss author. Qiao Liang was considered a famous live-streamer now. However, there were too many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Jingzhou. Everyone did not care much about the few celebrities and internet celebrities who occasionally appeared.
The big screen should have been broadcasting the latest GPL league competition or the internal competition in the internet cafe, but it was different today.
On the big screen was the TGN Awards Ceremony on the other side of the ocean.
TGN was also the most influential gaming award ceremony in the world. It was known as the Oscars of the gaming world.
Of course, there might be some people who did not believe in its credibility. Every time the game of the year was judged, some people would have different opinions or go against the judges. However, all in all, it was still the highest honor in the gaming industry. Many game designers were proud to be able to win the game of the year on TGN.
Qiao Liang played for a while before looking at the big screen and asking, "Where are we?"
Someone immediately answered, "Soon, soon. Stop playing the game for now. The game of the year is about to be announced. "
Almost everyone in the internet cafe put down the games they were playing and turned to look at the big screen when they heard this.
A few players even stood up from their seats and leaned in front of the big screen to take a closer look.
Yu Fei had brought a few core employees of the games department to the award ceremony this time. Boss Pei still did not seem to have any intention of attending. That made fans who loved Tengda Games feel that it was a pity.
They might not win the award even if they went, but what if?
In fact, Tengda Games had won a few small awards at the TGN Awards Ceremony in the past, but they did not cause too much of a stir.
The reasons for this were more complicated. On one hand, Boss Pei seemed to be very unenthusiastic about such awards events. Neither the games department nor the movie department actively participated. On the other hand, Tengda Games' main influence was still the first in the country. The target audience was also in the country, so its influence overseas was relatively weak.
The previous games, Repent and be Saved, Struggle, and Mission and Choice, were all very outstanding, but their main advantage was that they had reached the pinnacle of their genre. However, they were still restricted by many aspects if they wanted to rely on the game of the year.
The Future You Choose was undoubtedly a strong contender for the Game of the Year.
Although the gamers said that Boss Pei no longer needed a so-called Game of the Year to prove his position in the global gaming industry, it was still a little sour to say this without winning the award.
Everyone was still looking forward to winning the Game of the Year and making Boss Pei one of the top game designers in the world.
TGN's stage was huge. They had been waiting for the latest promotional videos of several games on the big screen.
These were all new expansions that players around the world had been looking forward to, and the audience erupted in cheers.
When the host came to the front of the stage, the entire place was silent. Everyone in the internet cafe was also focused, waiting for the results of the award ceremony.
The host cleared his throat solemnly and said, "This year is a very special year. While the game industry is rapidly developing and many traditional game companies are exerting their strength, we are also pleased to see the rapid rise of many new game companies. Games from some countries and regions have injected fresh blood into this award ceremony. "
"This is a very good phenomenon for TGN. We look forward to the rise of more game companies, so that the global game industry can develop more colorful."
"Now, let's invite the TGN Orchestra to perform a song for all the nominated games!"
The scene changed, and the orchestra was ready to play the game's theme music.
The theme music of several nominated games was well integrated together. Along with these theme music, game clips began to appear on the big screen. Each game was about a minute long.
These were all the top AAA masterpieces of this year. The world's gold medal game designers had put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to win the title of Game of the Year.
When the Future You Choose screen appeared, the audience and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe erupted into warm applause and cheers.
It was also mobile, but the domestic players were obviously more surprised. They did not expect this game to be so popular overseas.
"I didn't expect the people at the venue to react so enthusiastically. Do those foreigners like this game as well?"
"That's right, the Future You Choose has a huge influence overseas, be it the game or the movie. I can only say that the choice of theme this time is very pleasing!"
"I think the gameplay of the Future You Choose is very interesting first. Whether it's the game mechanism or the map structure, such online games can obtain the most players. Secondly, the plot is more meaningful. What's more, domestic and foreign players can interpret the meaning they want, although the two interpretations may be different. "
"That's right, it's the same for movies."
The Future You Choose was obviously interpreted differently by domestic players and foreign players.
Foreign players might not pay attention to the business war between Tengda Corporation and the Anti-Tengda Alliance, and they might not necessarily agree with Qiao Liang's interpretation of the business of this game, but that did not stop them from interpreting and understanding this game from their own perspective!
Foreign players also didn't lack the hatred for large companies, nor did they lack the worry of a cyberpunk world. What's more, be it the game or the movie, 'The Future You Choose' was more inclined to show the entire world from the protagonist's personal perspective. It also used a foreigner's name and background setting. It would be easier for foreign players to substitute and accept it.
All the candidates had been revealed. Next was the final award ceremony.
The emcee returned to the stage with the trophy.
The awards here were different from the movies. The emcee was the one who presented the awards.
"Now, I am very happy to announce that the winner of this year's best game chosen by 47 media outlets and fans around the world is …"
"Tengda Games' Future You Choose!"
Thunderous applause and cheers erupted as soon as the emcee finished speaking.
The camera turned. Yu Fei hugged his colleagues one by one in disbelief and went to the stage.
It was obvious that he was very surprised and a little nervous.
He even felt like he was sleepwalking when he received the TGN Game of the Year trophy from the emcee's hands.
"First of all, I would like to thank the judges of TGN and the gamers who love Tengda Games all over the world. On behalf of the production team and all the staff of Tengda Corporation, I would like to thank all the gamers for their long-term support. "
"To be honest, I'm still a little dazed because I didn't expect an ordinary author to be able to win the honor of Game of the Year."
"I might be the designer of this game, but Boss Pei is the one who gave the game its soul. Boss Pei didn't come to the venue today, but after my repeated requests, he finally agreed to write a short message to the gamers and let me read it on his behalf. "
As he spoke, Yu Fei took out the letter that he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
After the live translator relayed his words, the audience burst into applause and cheers again.
Foreign gamers had long heard of Boss Pei. It was undoubtedly a pity that Boss Pei did not come to the venue this time.
However, it was not a loss to have Yu Fei speak on Boss Pei's behalf.
"I am deeply honored and stressed by the love of gamers around the world.
"The meaning of games is to bring happiness to people. At the same time, they have the power to change the world.
"As a gamer, I think the most wonderful feeling games give me is the sense of the unknown. That's because we don't know what will happen in the next second in the game. That's why we are so infatuated with it.
"Just like in reality, you will never be able to predict what will happen after you make a decision.
"I sincerely hope that Tengda Games can bring happiness to all gamers in the future. I also hope that all gamers can find the carefree spiritual world of their childhood in the game and obtain the power to change reality from the game.
"Some free-spirited people like to play games, but for us gamers, games are life.
"Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their love for Tengda Games. I also hope that all the employees in the game team will continue to work hard and bring better games to gamers!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause and cheers that lasted for a long time!
The award this time represented the beginning of an era that belonged to Tengda Games.
Everyone believed that this was not only a leap for Tengda Games, but also a new beginning for the domestic games industry!
When a new era truly began, it would not end so easily!
The development of the domestic games industry could be said to be full of setbacks. To be able to win the honor of Game of the Year was not only because of the hard work of Boss Pei or all the employees in Tengda Games, but also because of the unconditional support of countless independent game designers who persevered in their dreams. Gamers who were the strong backing of the development of domestically-produced games.
As Tengda Games gradually expanded its industry, more game designers would be inspired to work tirelessly for higher pursuits in the future!
