Chapter 409 switch

  January 1st.

   The first day of the new year.

  Peria's press conference, zoomed in.

  A person who has never appeared at the Peria press conference before, instead of the president of Peria, announced the upcoming new work of Peria.

  The restart of two IP works that existed in the eight-bit computer era!

  A new work of Peria's first party Ace Studio!

   There are also a bunch of exclusive games that are messy and relatively small.

  Some of these games will be released this month, while others will be released in February.

  In short, the release time almost covers January and February.

   Plus, it was just yesterday.

  Another host manufacturer, Hardcore, also held a press conference, and also released several new works, as well as a reboot of the classic IP.

  The power of the two mainframe manufacturers that have been in business for many years has been fully revealed.

  In the eyes of many players, the two sides are really fighting with gods...

  The overseas players watched the two press conferences in a row, and they were very excited to see the restarts of those old IPs.

  Peria and Hardcore, all of a sudden, have the same limelight.

   As for the host of Forest Studio.

   was directly squeezed until there was no sound...

  Many overseas players have forgotten such a thing.

  After all, in the past two days, the two major host manufacturers have taken turns to appear on the stage, and there are a bunch of classic works that have been restarted, which is so attractive...

   Their heritage is really too strong.

   Even Reflecta, which has been in the limelight recently, has no sound at this meeting.

but.

  Overseas players forgot.

  Domestic players still remember that Linmu Studio will hold a press conference soon.

that is…

   They are a little pessimistic...

   "Forget it, it's obviously a sniper, let's talk about it later."

   "That's right, I just browsed NeoGAF, the largest overseas game discussion website, and it's all about Peria and Hardcore... I searched for a long time before I found a post from Linmu Studio."

   "Don't, you have hung your appetite for so long, you tell me to change the time? Don't."

   "Yeah, believe in Linmu Studio, go for it!"

   "The current situation is really not good."

"It's really not good, but Lin Yao probably can't do anything about it. They have worked hard to market for a month, and many players will be dissatisfied with the announcement in the future, and after they dove everyone this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have such enthusiasm. , although it has been sniped now, but the heat is getting higher and higher..."

   "The high popularity is useful. Now that the mainframe is announced, if it cannot be sold, it is still a failure!"

   "It's so miserable..."

   “…”

  Many players advised Linmu Studio to change the date.

   But this is only relative.

  More players don't pay attention to overseas news at all.

  Limwood Studio's one-month marketing has already raised their expectations to the highest level.

  They are now very eager to see the announcement of the mainframe by Forest Studio, and they are willing to believe in Forest Studio.

  If the forest studio is a pigeon, it is estimated that they will be sprayed to death by them...

  This is also the reason why Ban Zexiu and Deding Linmu Studio will not change the date.

certainly.

  Lin Yao didn't change either.

   Today.

  The countdown to the press conference is still high.

   And that night, after midnight.

  The day on the countdown has also become a specific time—

  12:00.

  …

  January 2nd.

  10:20 am.

  In Linmu Studio, the atmosphere was a little tense, even a little low.

  Partly because of the host, the staff who need to work overtime during the holidays can't help but look at Lin Yao's position worriedly when they pass by Lin Yao's position.

   But Lin Yao is not here today...

   Most of the upper echelons were absent.

   Early in the morning.

  They all went to the conference site.

   And at the same time.

  Not far from Linmu Studio, a certain community a few kilometers away.

  Meng Caiyi opened the Vaporwave game platform, and then clicked into the live broadcast jump window hanging on the homepage.

at this time.

  The live broadcast of Linmu Studio's press conference has already started, and the countdown is written in the upper left corner, and there is still more than an hour left.

  The live broadcast of this press conference is not only available on the Vaporwave game platform, but also on major live broadcast platforms.

   I heard that many game media and players were invited to the scene.

   In short, it can be seen.

  Linmu Studio attaches great importance to this press conference, or the products to be released at the conference.

   But Linmu Studio pays more attention to it.

   Now that Meng Caiyi turned on the live broadcast, the more I want to sigh.

   "...Since it is so important, let's change the date."

  He looked at the live broadcast and couldn't help but complain.

  Meng Caiyi is an overseas student and a veteran console player, compared to most other players.

  He has a more intuitive feeling for the discussions caused by the announcement of new works by the two mainframe manufacturers Peria and Hardcore this time.

  It's really overwhelming...

  The restart of the classic IP masterpiece, coupled with the large-scale publicity, has already made many European and American players climax in place.

In this situation.

  Don't talk about the new host.

  Even if it is Reflecta, they are all younger brothers. Everyone is a similar host. The childhood bonus is really too buggy.

   At this time, who will go to trouble?

Yes.

  Linmu Studio has strong game production capabilities.

  But the new IP is really not enough for the opponent to fight.

  Unless there is any innovation against the sky.

  But the mainframe, that’s it. If it’s really that good at innovation, the other two mainframes would have innovated long ago.

  “…At first I thought that there would be a host manufacturer in China, and I could still buy a domestic host.”

Meng Caiyi thought of this, sighed, and shook her head: "It seems that even if I buy it, I guess it won't be long... If the sales volume doesn't meet the target, I'm going to have to cut the budget and cut the game. Tsk, I'm confident." You can't do that! Why bother!"

  The more Meng Caiyi thought about it, the more angry she became.

  Hate iron but not steel!

  Although he respects Linmu Studio as a man, he chooses to be tough at this time...

   But business is not just a show, Linmu Studio is too impulsive...

  He even couldn't bear to watch the live broadcast.

   After all, after the momentary brilliance of the press conference, the mainframe of Linmu Studio may be about to fall, just like fireworks...

   This is too messing with his mentality as a console player...

  But Meng Caiyi moved the mouse cursor to the cross and stayed there for a long time, but finally failed to click.

  …

  11:07.

  12 o'clock in Japan.

  Peria headquarters.

   "Hansawa-kun, this is top-notch sake...You did a good job at the press conference."

   Deputy Ganfu He handed a goblet to Hidekazu Bansawa, and at the same time praised the other party's performance at the press conference yesterday.

  Peria’s press conference yesterday was a success!

  Even if you put aside the matter of sniping.

  Public opinion caused by Peria's new work alone.

   It made Deputy Chief He very happy.

  So he specially opened a bottle of good wine, and rewarded the more and more likable hero in front of him.

   "It's all thanks to the president."

  Ban Zexiuhe bowed his head, took the cup respectfully, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Could this be the Miao Hua Lan Qu brewed by the most traditional brewing method 'Shenggu Brewing'?"

"Um."

  Fufu He nodded, poured himself a glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

  Hideaki Bansawa gulped it down, and then flattered; "It's a wonderful flower orchid song, mellow and sweet, good!"

"certainly."

  The Deputy Steward He smiled when he heard this, and then picked up the wine bottle again.

  Han Zexiuhe was flattered, and quickly bent down and lowered the cup.

Deputy He poured another half a glass of wine for Ban Zexiuhe, and then suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the other party's press conference is about to start, right? Open it and have a look. Although there is no suspense, I still want to see them It feels like a good talking point if you boast about your self-confidence."

"Yes."

  Han Zexiu and Wen Yan immediately put down their glasses and went to open the overseas live broadcast of Linmu Studio.

   "..."

   Deputy He also put down the wine bottle, then picked up the glass and looked at the projection screen on the left side of the office.

  …

  11:45.

  Presentation site, backstage.

   "Are you nervous?" Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao beside her and asked.

"…not nervous."

  Lin Yao took a deep breath, then patted her chest lightly, and shook her head.

   "Sister, are you nervous?"

  Zhu Nianqiao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked exactly the same question.

  Lin Yao shook her head lightly, and continued: "Don't be nervous."

   "Lin Yao, don't be nervous."

   At this time.

  Zhong Xiu and Bao Liangzhe pushed the door in and came in with such a sentence.

  Lin Yao glared at the two of them, and said angrily: "I'm not nervous! There's no end to this, the host will give me..."

   Say it.

  She directly took over the host from Bao Liangzhe, then took another deep breath and left the backstage.

  Get ready to play.

  …

  11:56.

  The scene of the press conference, the audience.

   There are still four minutes before the press conference starts.

  Game media reporter Cheng Kangjian raised his wrist and looked at the time.

   "It's about to start." The photographer next to him suddenly said.

   "Well, this is the first time that Linmu Studio has launched a press conference. I'm looking forward to it now." Cheng Kangjian thought that he was idle for a few minutes, so he chatted with the other party.

   "Yeah, their size is not small, but it is also the first time for me to participate in their press conference."

   "It's just that the occasion is not right... In this situation, I insist on announcing the mainframe. It's really cool... I don't know if it's the last time."

   "Actually, we can't be 100% sure it's the host, right?"

   "What else can it be, 100% confirmed."

  Cheng Kangjian shook his head, and then changed the topic: "Speaking of which, the game logo for the last day of today has not been announced by Linmu Studio, right?"

   "Hey, it will definitely be announced on the spot on the last day, just wait, I'm even more curious now, what is that shelf-like thing on the stage?"

  The photographer pointed to the shelf-like thing at the top of the stage.

   It does not look like a product, but it is conspicuous.

   Cheng Kangjian heard the words, turned his head to look at the stage, but at this time, the time had come to 11:59, he ignored the shelf-like things on the stage, and said: "It's about to start, you prepare..."

  He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Time is up.

  The time came to twelve o'clock.

  The lights on the stage dimmed immediately.

   Then, the screen lights up.

   See the screen go dark.

  Cheng Kangjian thought that the classic patter title was about to appear.

   But unexpectedly.

   What appeared on the screen was not the opening title of Pata.

  The melodious music sounded slowly.

   Next.

  A letter Z slowly emerged, and then a simple long sword traversed the entire letter.

   is the first game logo announced by Linmu Studio.

  But this time it wasn't just a Z character, the entire game name also slowly emerged.

  A man with an arched back, a knife and a shield stands on a hill, overlooking the distance.

  The cover and the name all appear - "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

  Although many media and players in the field did not know what happened.

  But when he suddenly saw the game screen that was completely different from the previous painting style of Linmu Studio, he still exclaimed.

   And their exclamation has not stopped.

  The next game logo appears.

  Five human silhouettes are holding hands, and the antique font is gradually getting bigger—"fire".

   Then, the next LOGO appears.

  Thirty days before.

  All the game logos announced by Linmu Studio appeared one by one, but unlike before, this time Linmu Studio no longer hid them, but exposed the game cover and the full name of the game.

   And this is slow to say.

   But in fact, lOGO appeared very fast.

  After one broadcast, switch to the next one immediately.

  The ones in front are all new games.

   But behind.

   There are familiar games.

  Various game icons appear.

   And at the end, the icon of the 30th game was announced.

  A line of artistic words, with special effects of splashing ink - "Splatoon" Splatoon.

  Everyone in the venue was dazzled and hadn't reacted yet.

   is accompanied by the last game logo.

Sudden.

   Bright red color that takes up the entire screen.

  Two minimalist-style squares appear in the center, sliding up and down, just like installation.

   There was a snap.

   Then keep parallel.

   Only this time, under the two minimalist squares, there is an extra word—switch.

   This click.

  Finally, the players at the venue reacted.

   "OHH..."

  Although most of the people who came here were worried about the future of the host of Linmu Studio.

  But so many games have been unveiled, which really mobilized the atmosphere...

   And this wave of cheers has not yet fallen.

   Immediately after.

   Bigger cheers sounded!

  Because of being on stage, the spotlight suddenly turned on.

  A pretty girl came out from the backstage.

  The players at the press conference certainly knew who she was.

"Hello everyone."

  Lin Yao put her hands behind her back, as if she was hiding something, she walked slowly to the front of the stage, then smiled sweetly and said, "It's nice to see you all."

   "ohh!"

  The audience in the audience temporarily ignored the host, and burst into astonishing cheers.

  She looks good when she smiles...

Lin Yao kept smiling and waited quietly. After the cheers were a little less loud, she continued: "I won't continue with the polite words. In fact, everyone should have guessed what we are going to announce when you come here. You may It will be strange, I just came here empty-handed, is it inappropriate... what about the product? Shouldn't the product be announced first at this time?"

   There was a little laughter from below.

  Cheng Kangjian also smiled and had to say.

   She is really a girl who is easy to like...

   "Let me make a point here first."

  Lin Yao stood on the stage with her hands behind her back, and her pretty round oval face smiled again: "Before announcing the product, first of all, I would like to ask you a question. Do you usually...play games?"

"Play!"

   Immediately there was an enthusiastic response from below.

   "I also play, but sometimes...you know? Playing games is too inconvenient."

   "After all, the PC is so big, I can't carry it around every day, and sometimes, the time to sit in front of the computer is limited."

   “When I commute to get off work every day, I really want to play games to pass the time.”

   "Sometimes I wonder, is there a way to play games while commuting?"

   "I believe that many players have the same idea as me, right? When I usually go out, I also want to play games."

  The players in the audience heard Lin Yao's words.

  Finally, I turned my attention back to the host.

  Because they feel something is wrong.

   "Anyway, I really want to play games when commuting, and play games when I go out."

   "Like right now."

   "Like this moment."

  Lin Yao showed a longing expression, and continued: "However, you can't just play on the road, it will become a handheld...I think it would be great if you can switch at any time."

   "Well, a game console that can be switched at any time."

   "That is... switch."

  Lin Yao uttered a word with a smile on her face.

  All the players reacted and passed Lin Yao in amazement, looking at the screen behind her.

"right."

  Lin Yao made a sound, attracting everyone's attention again.

  She raised her hand suddenly, took out the switch that had been hidden behind her all the time, and inserted the switch into the base of the main unit in front of her under the astonished gazes of all the audience.

   accompanied by a snap.

   "That's right, what I said just now is our host—switch."

   "This is the... switch."

  Lin Yao took a step back, then stood pretty on the stage, smiling like a flower.

   And the moment she stepped back.

  The handheld is installed on the base, and it directly switches to the host mode.

on the screen.

  The game screen of Breath of the Wild suddenly appeared!

   Player: "!!"

  The moment the game screen appears!

   It's like the cheers that are going to knock the roof off!

   broke out!

  Cheng Kangjian looked at the screen, listening to the deafening cheers, and was dumbfounded.

   After a while.

  He came back to his senses suddenly and turned his head.

  The cameraman pointed the camera at Lin Yao without his command.

  Click.

  The screen freezes.

  One of the most classic scenes in the history of this world game, just freezes here...

   Sorry, it's too late to get off work...It hurts
