Ji Jing has not yet waited for the official version of "Shankan City", but fans "as promised" to usher in the first season of "Shura Battlefield".

Starting from February 21, the second episode of "Shura Battlefield" was officially launched. Just like Forty-Two's previous promise, there are a total of 5 video platforms at home and abroad, all of which are played synchronously for free, and updated at the speed of one episode per week.

Since the first episode aired on October 10 last year, it has been 4 months and 11 days since then. If it weren’t for the continued exposure of new content by the official, the first episode would have brought great shock to the audience. Moreover, this is the only one with domestic 3D animation quality or above. If other animations were not the fast food era, they would probably have been forgotten.

The animation, which is more than 4 months apart from the first and second episodes, can only be said that Forty Two is really brave and casual.

There are various official accounts in the middle, whether it is Weibo, 2333 platform, overseas Focus and U2, as well as official animation and game exchange groups. Forty-two inevitably have been urging by fans.

Many domestic audiences replaced their avatars with a pigeon. After they popularized the meaning of this bird animal, many people followed suit. They could only say good guys. If Han Xiuzhen knew that the cultural output that the Forty-two was the first to complete was pigeon culture, she would not know what kind of mood would be.

During this period, the Forty-Two will naturally continue to give their explanations. The production team has been replaced. The original plan was just like that, and the Dasong Studio, which is popular, has no schedule.

For this reason, we also specially acquired an animation company. The acquisition is troublesome, and we have to ask the accounting firm to conduct due diligence. After the acquisition, we have to hand over a lot of things. Please write your understanding in your reply.

Even if they acquire an animation company, their higher priority tasks are to create cutscenes for the game, not because we are a game company, and the animation matters must be a little bit later.

There is also a need to review it. This time is different from before. If you want to get a screening license, it is a regular project, and it also takes time to queue up.

There are so many reasons for these, and they all sound justified, and the audience can only express their understanding.

The key is what if you don’t understand.

But at least they can finally enter the update mode after waiting.

Of course, there is one thing that is not worthy of being told by outsiders among the many reasons, so we must naturally cooperate with the publicity rhythm of "The City of Good Knowledge".

Starting from March, "Shanjian City" will gradually launch a publicity offensive, and with the progress of "Shura Battlefield" weekly broadcast, the end of the first season should be May 2, and that time was the last promotional node before "Shanjian City" was released.

At 6:00 p.m. on March 14th local time, the annual annual game TGOY awards ceremony was grandly held.

It is already nine o'clock in the morning on March 15th. Fortunately, it is Saturday. Chinese players who have booked their alarm clocks in advance can get up in the morning to watch the live streams sent by the three major domestic live broadcast platforms. Even friends with 996 work nature can open a backend webpage and put on headphones to listen to the process. The three live broadcast websites are equipped with commentary and translation.

It is expected that this year's TGOY will be watched by more than 12 million players around the world, which is a height that has never been reached since the founding of this award.

It is more regrettable that Mr. Lu Qi, this 42, did not attend on the grounds that the project research and development work was intensive, but Li Min led the group to Angel City to watch the ceremony and accepted the possible trophy on his behalf.

Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, it was a producer who operated double-opening and double-line, and it was reasonable to be busy with work.

Previously, the media have made enough atmosphere for this year's TGOY. More often than noted that this is the ultimate showdown between Delaney's "Lost Treasure 3" and "Forty-Two" "Souls", which is quite appropriate.

The former has the super popularity accumulated by the series of trilogies and a large number of die-hard fans around the world. It is also an important bargaining chip for the Heavy Hammer Studio to compete with Starfish Studio for the title of "Drani's Strongest".

The latter is the masterpiece of New Star Forty-Two. It can be said that it has created a unique genre. Whether in terms of narrative, combat or scene exploration, it has brought players a very unique and unprecedented experience.

The media average ratings of the two games on the Critic website are 9.2 and 9.1 respectively, and "Soul" is slightly inferior.

Currently, sales are 7.32 million on EI single platform and 6.89 million on the whole platform respectively. Although "Lost Treasure 3" is sold for half a year, "Soul" is indeed a little insufficient.

Although the forty-two are at a disadvantage in these two indicators, there is not much difference between the two.

In terms of thinking and inspiration brought to the industry, "Soul" brings you a perfect answer to how to inspire players' sense of accomplishment, and it does have its own unique features.

Not to mention the 50% opening, but Chinese players and 42 overseas fans think that the odds and expectations of about 40% should not be excessive.

In the month before the award ceremony, some voices of "Soul" that were not bad started on the Internet, mainly because since February, major publishers have started the promotion of award ceremony season, inviting media interviews to talk about their creative concepts, organizing evening parties and events, and inviting judges to attend, each with unique skills and showing off his magical powers.

As for Forty-Two, I did nothing. At most, in January, "Soul" released a free DLC, adding the already promised BossRush mode and some new weapons and equipment. The subsequent news released by the official account was basically "Shura Battlefield" and "Shanjian City". How could this look like a strong competitor?

However, not many people cared about these sounds and slowly disappeared.

But when the award ceremony was held, one award after another was awarded, someone recalled these remarks at that time.

Forty-two has won a total of five awards in this TGOY.

The first thing it lost was the award of "The Most Creative Game" in Chaos Era.

From here, some players don’t understand it very much, because the competitors are not strong enough. In terms of sales and ratings, "Chaos Era" is far ahead in the shortlist. The sales of 7 million is more than 5.9 million yuan higher than the second-place "Campfire", which focuses on first-person narratives. Moreover, the comprehensive score on Critic is as high as 9.3, which is also the only one, and it is the best result of the company for 42.

Immediately afterwards, "Age of Chaos" lost the "best independent game" again... More and more people began to wonder.

Until "The Unknown" missed the "Best Rookie Game", not only were the 42 fans around the world, but all the audiences who were following this award ceremony were shocked and had big questions on their heads.

The same is true in major live broadcast rooms at home and abroad.

Obviously when they issue a "question mark", it is not that they have questions, but that they feel that the organizer has problems.

The reporters presently also asked their photographers, “Did I hear it wrong just now?”.

They really couldn't imagine that any independent game company's first product could achieve the same success as "Infinite". This success not only refers to the commercial achievements of this game, but also refers to the fact that it also brought the Forty-two game company into everyone's vision.

In the evaluation criteria for this award in previous years, the subsequent results of game R&D manufacturers are also very important reference standards. It can be said that this award is not a game award, but a manufacturer award!

Within the following year, "Chaos Era" and "Soul" were released in succession. Who can compare with it? This is even a historical achievement. There is no game company in history as glorious as "Forty Two".

Therefore, this award was regarded by all media as the least suspense competition this year, no doubt about it.

Did you even lose this award?

So are the remaining "Best Action-Adventure Game" and "Best Game of the Year" shortlisted by "Soul" obviously no longer on Forty-two?

Everyone has this idea. Some of them are more curious about whether Forty-two offended the organizer and the judges where? Or is there any evil that has not been exposed by the media?

And the hearts of the Chinese audience have already sunk.

Sure enough, with the progress of the party, "Lost Treasure 3" became the last big winner, winning those two awards.

When awarding the "Best Action Adventure Game", the award presenter named "Lost Treasure 3". Evan Jones, the producer of the original Harden Studio, was not completely happy to receive the award, because it basically means they lost the most important award "Game of the Year".

Because a secret rule that everyone has tacitly understood in previous years is to get evenly rain and dew, and a bowl of water is evenly treated.

In previous years, if two competitors who seemed evenly matched like this year competed for two awards at the same time, generally speaking, if you give one, you will be happy.

But this year, this unspoken rule was broken. About fifteen minutes later, Ivan took the stage again and was stunned to take the trophy of "The Best Game of the Year" from the chairman of the organizing committee, Jeff Adams. Fortunately, he wrote a note in advance to put it in his bag, otherwise he really didn't know what to say.

"The Lost Treasure 3" is indeed a 3A-level masterpiece with excellent quality. It also represents one of the highest levels of game industrialization in the world. It deserves to win this award. The audience is all the big guys in the game industry, and everyone looks up and sees each other. They also give Ivan and his team of heavy hammer studios warm applause.

But it was a completely different scene on the Internet. The major forums were completely infuriating. Many people on social media were already scolding, all of which were national treasures from all over the world, venting their dissatisfaction and anger.

Not all Chinese players are Chinese, after all, not everyone has the skills to investigate outside the wall.

Some of them are not fans of Forty-Two at all, and have never even played "Soul".

They just heard others talk about this game and saw its special features in some media reports, but they can only say that Risbye is still keeping a distance from this abused game.

These accusations against the organizers that began to spread were not just that "Soul" did not win one of the "Best Game" and "Best Adventure Action Game".

But when Forty-Two was shortlisted for five awards at the entire party, he ended up not getting any of them, and felt the obvious malicious intention from the organizer.

The middle broadcast shot was given to the forty-two team several times. Li Min was wearing an evening dress and looked graceful and elegant, and she had to give a polite smile to the camera.

When the nomination was announced, the nervous drum music was given, and when other winners came on stage to receive the award, can this be understood as a provocative act of the organizer?

Everyone knows that the lady from the East must be very angry, but she still maintains enough demeanor and decent. The pitifulness in this contrast is easier to arouse empathy from countless audiences.

"Shadow! Absolutely shady!"

"This is definitely the most shameful scene in thirteen years since TGOY was founded in 2003."

“As an Angel City man, I regret the first time that TGOY was held in Angel City, attracting the attention of gamers around the world, and it even puts the city in shame.”

"I have to say that Forty Two suffered very unfair treatment tonight, and generally speaking, they are worth at least two to three awards from five nominations."

There is also the simple and powerful "RNM!Back Money!"

It is obvious that this is a player from China. Although foreigners can barely rack their brains to figure out what "Back Money" means, and wonder what money to refund? When will the money be given? But the three words RNM are far beyond their understanding.

Of course these are the more extreme types. Some of the more macro-thinking audiences raised questions: "TGOY has never officially and frankly announced their judging criteria. Of course, it is difficult to achieve any awards except competitive sports, but I think there should be a general framework. Is it sales, media and players' ratings, or is it purely the personal preferences of the jury? Even if the jury's personal preferences, I think they should at least tell everyone what they like, right?"

"There were rumors that Forty-two never gave you any benefits to the judges, but now I completely believe it. Although I never thought that the judges would not give you that award because you didn't give it, it would seem too stingy, but I also believe that they would award you the award because you gave it. This is the pattern. But there is only one award for each award."

"If I were a judge, I would have given at least one comfort award for forty, and that would not cause such an uproar."

"As one of the most authoritative and credible game awards at present, I feel sad for them because this time it was really too obvious. If it is not handled well, it may ruin the accumulation of more than ten years."

This kind of questioning the award has happened before, but most of the time it is still very restrained and polite, because the winners are also excellent.

But this time, it has been separated from the category of who won the award. This rhythm is not a question of "Lost Treasure 3". The game and Drani fans cannot join the battlefield to balance the power, but are completely one-sidedly targeting the jury and organizers.

"Wait a minute, no one wants to discuss the promotional animation released by "Good View City" and "Knight of Dragon Blood: Man"?"

The award ceremony is not only an award ceremony, but also many new games will take this opportunity to release new revelations or CG for promotion.

For example, "The City of Good Knowledge" and the Dragon Queen project, which already has the official name "Dragon Knight: Humanoid", released a promotional CG of about two and a half points on this TGOY. It was indeed an appointment. Although the two game publishers are different, namely Forty-Two and God Armor, Lu Qi has the final say.

However, he was temporarily submerged in the big rhythm of the night.

It seems that it can't be stopped.

That night, a considerable number of players squeezed into TGOY's official website and expressed their "opinions", which once crashed the server, which had no traffic at all.

The popularity trend of "TGOY" on Focus also climbed to the top ten for a time.

The storm continued to spread in the following days and expanded.

After all, both domestic and foreign netizens are the same. They don’t mind the trouble when watching the fun. This is the highest principle of eating melons that is universally used all over the world.

It was not until four of the 17 people on the jury that they had made inappropriate remarks about race that everyone understood the real reason.

At the beginning, their main understanding was that Forty-two did not give the organizer any gifts, and many people even suspected that it was not as good as it would not have hurt themselves for such a little profit.

After digging deeper, I realized that maybe it was the reason, but it was also a small part.

Another sensitive issue involved, and this matter became even bigger and no longer limited to the gaming circle. Even the four major American TV stations have reported on this issue.

At this time, someone suggested that the most injured ones should be Mr. Forty-two and Mr. 42. They are the biggest victims of this incident. Maybe they should comfort me?

Then someone posted a short video and said it should be useless...

It was taken by a Chinese student in Neon. When the school organized a visit to Shenjia Company, it was taken in the motion capture space on the 13th floor of the Shenjia headquarters building.

Who else can be in the video? It's Lu Qi...

Wearing a plastic suit and hanging Wiya, I was having a lot of fun playing motion capture. It was on March 17th local time, two days after the shady scene of TGOY happened.

Where did he look like he was injured? Look at him smiling with white teeth, how happy he was having fun?
