Chapter 118 Dog-Headed Military Advisor

Chapter 118 Dog-Headed Military Advisor

“This place is nice…”

Before the video game exhibition ended, Chen Ba was invited by a mysterious person to visit a large stadium that had just been built but not yet put into use.

The mysterious man is interested in the GAL League.

To be precise, he took a fancy to the commercial value and influence of the GAL League and hoped to make one of its stops in Neon.

The GAL League has multiple sub-stations.

So far, seven sub-stations have been identified, including Jiangning Station, Zhonghai Station, Pengcheng Station, Los Angeles Station, New York Station, Dubai Station and London Station.

Among them, the competitions at Jiangning Station, Zhonghai Station and Pengcheng Station have all ended.

AMD Jiangning Station champion, NVIDIA Zhonghai Station and Pengcheng Station double champion, the influence of the event has been further enhanced, and it has become a world-renowned "e-sports" event brand.

The slogan "E-Sports F1" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and more and more companies have begun to sponsor and join GAL events. This small-circle event that was originally not taken seriously has also been favored by more and more cities.

In fact, as early as during the Pengcheng Station competition, Chen Ba received many calls from the city’s cultural and tourism departments.

The content of the call was simple.

Everyone wants their city to become a fixed station of the GAL League. And this requires the approval of Chen Ba, the chairman of GAL.

That’s right, Chairman!

After the GAL League got on track, various clubs, convened by Tianba Studio, jointly established GAL Competitive Sports Co., Ltd. to be responsible for matters related to the GAL League, including event hosting, event broadcasting rights operation, etc.

Chen Ba assumes the position of chairman.

He has a strong say in the GAL League, and he also made the final decision on the selection of the first few sites.

"Neon can have an outstation."

Chen Ba has no worries in his heart. He knows that for the global operation of the GAL League, Neon must not give up the market.

Therefore, it is appropriate to set up a GAL sub-station in Neon.

But wanting to have two substations is just a dream. North America has such a large population and strong consumption power, but only has two GAL substations. How can Neon Hede have two substations?

What?

You said that in addition to the three confirmed sub-stations in China, there will be one or two more stations in the central and western regions in the future?

Tianba Studio is a Chinese company, "Star Emperor" is a Chinese game, and Chen Ba is a Chinese, there is no problem at all!

What, you are not convinced?

If you are not convinced, I suggest you hold it in and build a new GAL league yourself if you have the ability to see if anyone will pay attention to you.

After learning from Chen Ba that Neon would have a GAL branch city, the mysterious man was satisfied and immediately expressed his full support for the GAL League.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and asked an interesting question.

"Can the GAL League only allow PCs to participate? Can game consoles participate?"

"Host?"

When Chen Ba heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, and then asked with a smile: "The hardware of the console does not support the ultimate sublimation of 8K picture quality, right?"

"The hosts on sale are definitely not good, but as for laboratory-grade stacking products, I think they should meet the conditions." The mysterious man explained.

This is true!

Considering the cost, the game consoles on the market generally have low-end hardware and are not as good as top-notch personal PCs. The only advantage is that they are cheap and have a large number of exclusive games.

If it is purely about stacking materials and not considering cost, it is not that the host cannot compete with the PC. In this case, it is not impossible for game consoles to join the GAL League.

Of course, this refers to PS and Xbox.

Don't come here for Switch. Handheld consoles are limited by size and technology. Even if they pile up materials, they won't be much better. Signing up to participate in GAL is just looking for abuse.

"I will think about it……"

Chen Ba did not agree immediately because there seemed to be too many teams in the GAL League.

Judging from what the mysterious man meant, Sony and Microsoft, the two console giants, also want to join in the fun of the GAL League.

You need to consult other teams for their opinions.

If everyone agrees with the entry of host manufacturers, then approve them to become new members of GAL. If everyone refuses to compete with game consoles, then this matter will be over.

"They will definitely agree."

After leaving the gymnasium and returning to the exhibition hall to join Yang Dong, Xiao Lu and others, Yang Dong gave his analysis.

"When console manufacturers enter the GAL League, they are essentially destroying the bottom teams. Even with black technology, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve any results."

"Someone puts me at the bottom, and other teams are too late to be happy, so how can they refuse?" Yang Dong said with a smile.

"That makes sense."

Chen Ba thought the same thing. PS and Xbox represented the console platform and entered the GAL League. They were most likely here to join in the fun and forget about achieving results.

Let’s not talk about the three giants AMD, NVIDIA and Intel. The remaining teams such as DaRenShuo, KeBiHongHong, Shrinking Star and Jubaojia will probably be able to beat these two mainframe manufacturers to the point where they cannot hold their heads up.

If he insists on being abused, then come and do it!

Unless Sony and Microsoft really have great black technology and are willing to pile up materials, the hardware gap between consoles and PCs cannot be eliminated with a few words.

"correct……"

After talking about what happened just now, Chen Ba turned around and asked, "You guys went for a walk around. Did you see any interesting games?"

"Yes, I have!"

Xiao Lu said excitedly: "There are so many interesting games, including VR, AR games, and somatosensory games..."

VR games? Somatosensory games?

When Chen Ba heard these terms, he immediately became interested and quickly asked Xiao Lu to show him the way.

really!

In addition to new games, this video game show will also feature a large number of new technologies and products for interactive entertainment.

These include VR, AR and MR equipment, as well as somatosensory gaming equipment.

The concepts of VR, AR and MR have been speculated by major manufacturers for a long time, and a lot of related game products and equipment have been released. They are considered to be relatively popular fields in recent years.

But Chen Ba is obviously more interested in somatosensory games than AR, VR and MR games.

He experienced a game that uses a TV/computer camera to capture human movement trajectories and then realize dancing.

I also experienced a table tennis game that simulates racket feedback through the controller and simulates confrontation in real time.

“The equipment is a bit expensive!”

Although the experience was very good, after asking about the price, Chen Ba couldn't help but sigh: "Unless the price comes down, this type of device will not be able to replace the mouse, keyboard and controller."

Also, there are very few games.

There are so few games that these devices can run or play. And most of the games are relatively crude and not as good as the masterpieces on PC or console.

"No way, how many years have PCs and consoles been developed, and how many years have these devices only been around?"

Yang Dong said with a smile: "At present, even if one or two popular VR games or somatosensory games appear, it will be difficult to shake the status of keyboard, mouse and controller."

But no one can say for sure about the future.

Just like the arcade game arcades that were once popular and could be seen everywhere in the streets, they were slowly defeated or even replaced by Internet cafes.

Maybe one day in the future, with technological breakthroughs, keyboards, mice, and controllers will really be replaced by these inconspicuous gadgets.

Let’s talk about the next thing later.

After wandering around the exhibition area and experiencing new games and new technologies from various companies, Chen Ba also talked about the new games he revealed in his speech today.

"You must have played the love development game, right?"

"I played with it, but..."

Yang Dong hesitated and said: "Are you talking about an otome-oriented love simulation game or a male-oriented Galgame?"

"Anything is fine, it's almost the same anyway."

Chen Ba didn't care about Yang Dong's so-called distinction between Otome-oriented and male-oriented, because he knew that these were indeed the two major branches of the love development game.

Otome is a large group of handsome guys, such as games like "Love and Producer" represented by Junlang CEO Li Zeyan.

Male-oriented games are dominated by a large group of beautiful women. This type of game is more concentrated in the Galgame category. The recently popular "I Am Surrounded by Beautiful Women" is also of this type.

The people at Tianba Studio usually play games in their free time. If they say they have never played this kind of love game, Chen Ba would not believe it even to death.

There are at least ten Galgames on Xiaolu's computer.

This is still a game that has not been cleared. If you count the games that have been cleared and uninstalled after entering Sage Mode, there must be dozens of them.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that Brother Ba knew him so well, Xiao Lu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and quickly defended: "There are so many dozens of games. I'm usually so busy with work, so I only have time to play one or two games at most."

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Not bothering to expose his clumsy lie, Chen Ba shook his head and said, "Then do you think a love development game like this should be otome-oriented or male-oriented?"

"It's okay!"

Zhong Shengwei thought for a moment and then said: "Both otome and male players have a group of loyal players, but Brother Ba, you seem to have said that our game is gender-neutral?"

"Yes! Regardless of gender!"

Chen Ba nodded and said: "If the player chooses a male character, it will be a male-oriented romance game. If the player chooses a female character, it will be an Otome-oriented romance game."

Focus on being inclusive and comprehensive.

Both male and female players are the target audience of the new game, rather than being divided into different fields and tracks like other love games.

"Then how do you explain online?"

Although Brother Ba briefly mentioned the description of the online mode during his speech, Xiao Lu still had many questions.

A love development game like this doesn’t have an online version.

Many mobile games have online games, but the profit model of those mobile games is actually in-app purchases of krypton gold. He feels that this is not the same thing as the online game mentioned by Brother Ba.

"The game must be a buyout system."

Chen Ba first set the main tone, and then said: "My idea is to make this game a Roguelike game, where you will encounter a randomly generated hero/heroine every time."

"Then the key to online play is that you can let other players help you conquer the characters through online play."

Chen Ba gave an example.

Assume that Yang Dong and Xiao Lu are playing new games respectively, and they each randomly select several heroines with different personalities and identities. Among them, Xiao Lu encounters a character that is difficult to conquer and may need the help of other players.

At this time, Xiao Lu can ask for help and ask Yang Dong to come to his world and act as a wingman to help him complete his mission and conquer a certain character.

"Then I went to Xiao Lu's world. If I fell in love with a female character, could I pursue her?"

"certainly!"

"You can even compete with Xiao Lu to pursue the same female character, but Xiao Lu may get angry and drive away the thief like you." Chen Ba said with a smile.

This is just a joke.

The existence of online mode has good intentions. After all, there are three gangs of men in one! Who doesn't have one or two dog-headed military advisors by his side when chasing girls and boys?

Chen Ba will make a voting function when the time comes. This mechanism comes from a harem drama "Date A Live" that he has watched before.

In this anime, the protagonist Itsuka Shido has a younger sister, Kotori.

Every time Itsuka Shidou went on a date with the elves, Ratatosk, Kotori and her dog-headed military advisor, would give Shidou all kinds of bad ideas and vote to decide Shidou's next move and dialogue. content.

The original intention of the online mode was to take advantage of the "three stooges to defeat Zhuge Liang".

After all, there are many key choices during the process of conquering a character. If you make the wrong choice, it basically means that the strategy has failed.

Moreover, because these NPCs are randomly generated, there is no 100% correct answer, so players need the advice and help of other players.

"Kob-headed strategist?"

Xiao Lu couldn't help but smile and said: "You have bad ideas, the main ones are brave enough to say it, and the other is brave enough to believe it. Picking up girls depends on your wingmen, right?"

"Then you don't have to listen!"

Chen Ba spread his hands and said: "If you are sure that you will make the right choice every time, then don't listen to the advice of the dog-headed military advisor and do whatever you think in your heart."

But there is a high probability that it won’t work.

No one can guarantee that every choice he makes is correct, and no one dares to say that he is an expert in love.

When you don't know what to do, listen to the suggestions of other players, and you may be able to save the day.

In fact, this is also the case in reality.

Both parties in a relationship are relatively blind, and sometimes they always make wrong choices or decisions. At this time, it is actually much better to have a good brother/bestie to guide you.

But then again...

Advice from a good brother/best friend, this thing is also quite cheating, it’s up to you whether you believe it or not.

If you think it is reliable, then listen to the advice of the dog-headed strategist. If you think it is unreliable, then kick the dog-headed strategist quickly to avoid making bad ideas and harming yourself.

"Love Staff!"

The corners of Chen Ba's mouth raised and he said, "How unpleasant it sounds to have a dog-headed military advisor. If you ask me, I'd rather call him a love counselor."

The name of the game is also called this.

The core gameplay is the same as the old love development game, but because of the existence of the "love counselor" mechanism, it has become an online game.

Make a list then.

This is just like the LOL settlement page, where you can like or report your teammates. The dog-headed strategist works, so give him a thumbs up and a five-star rating!

The dog-headed strategist is very harmful to others and tries his best to ruin other people's marriages. So give him a thumbs up and let other players take a warning. Don't listen to this guy's advice.

How did the dog-headed military advisor come?

Of course, the player initiates a request for help, and the system randomly matches online players for help.

Then take a look at the "records"! Okay, okay, here comes a dog-headed strategist with rave reviews, so I must win this wave!

Here comes a dog-headed military advisor with mostly negative reviews? ?

Wish yourself luck!
