Chapter 190 Remake (5)
“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the world’s largest game festival ‘Game Festa The New York’!”
puffer pung. puff.
The building opened to everyone at the same time as the loud sound of firecrackers sounded and announced the start of the festival. And those who had been waiting for this moment, pitching a tent in front of him, started to rush at it like predators who saw their prey.
“Don’t push! You bastards!”
“line! Get in line, everyone!”
“Aaaaaaa! help me! Out of breath…”
A dangerous moment when it seems like a major accident is about to happen when you get hit here and there by the crowd that has gathered in an instant. Employees who tried to control people somehow to prevent accidents had to sweat for a long time.
“Wow… what the hell is going on? It wasn’t to this extent…”
“I will. Do you think people are very interested in this year?”
Employees who have hosted and been in charge of Game Festas in various countries around the world. Because I was well aware of the previous festive atmosphere, I could clearly feel how abnormal the reactions of those who were rushing forward now were.
“No, Arcadia was involved, so even though we rented a stadium as wide as possible…? The number of people gathered alone seems to be well over 100,000?”
“Iknow, right. Look at the line over there. They say those are all vehicles that are trying to come here.”
A line of cars lined up far into the distance. Cars stretched so long that it was impossible to know where they ended, waiting to enter the exhibition hall, creating a huge traffic jam.
“Wow….. Really, this isn’t a joke…? No matter how much it is the first day …..”
New York’s famous Yankee Stadium with a maximum capacity of 50,000. Of course, various booths were installed throughout the building, including the stadium field, to accommodate several times the number of people, but they could not help but break a cold sweat as they saw the endless crowd of people.
“This… I need to get my head straight, right? If you do it wrong, a super-sized accident could happen.”
“I will…”
The world’s largest game festival, held for three days, began with the determination of the guides who were gulping their saliva with such nervous faces. It has been very successful in the midst of the tremendous interest of countless people who come here non-stop.
* * *
“Wow, people are not kidding. Really, why are there so many of them?”
“Originally, it is a place where gamers from all over the world gather. And since it’s New York, there could be more.”
While Arcadia employees are busy preparing for their presentation, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun freely roam here and there in their spare time. The two began to explore the booths of many well-known game companies, wandering around like fish in water.
“and! Jaeyoung! Look at this! They say they’re releasing an expansion pack in Ice Storm!”
“Oh OWW?”
OWW, the signature game of the world-renowned game company ‘Ice Storm’ and a super-large MMORPG game with hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide. Jaekyun shouted with bright eyes as he saw a huge billboard saying that an expansion pack would finally be released with a large-scale update after several years. However, unlike his reaction, Jaeyoung’s reaction was a bit sluggish.
“Who plays RPG games on a computer these days? All it takes is to follow the set script and complete the quest.”
“Why did you do so many things in the past?”
“That is an old story. I did it for a long time until middle school and quit right before I went to high school.”
“okay….?”
“More than that, an ice storm is quite dizzy. If you’re still clinging to a completely obsolete genre like this, I’d rather just start developing a new game.”
A world where Arcadia, a virtual reality game with an overwhelming level difference that is impossible to compare, exists even though it is a masterpiece game that once dominated the era. That’s why no matter how much they tried to look good through memory correction, there was no way that such a crude looking nogada game would catch the eye of gamers whose eyes had become too high.
“Come and see. Ooh expansion pack release!”
“10 minutes! If you experience it for 10 minutes, we will give you a free gift!”
“Hey there student! Why don’t you give it a try?”
The ice storm company’s booth that only blows flies. In order to somehow promote the game, they even tried to attract people by touting customers, but people’s reactions were too harsh.
“Oh? Was that still in service?”
“Ugh. Wow… How did I ever play a game with graphics like that?”
“To think that this was praised as a god game….. Looking at it now, it’s a shit game, right?”
“Are you giving game items as free gifts? I don’t do it.”
An era of upheaval in which the flow of industry itself was completely reversed. Even in the desperate struggles of companies that became victims of this harsh era in which all games that were praised in the past turned into shitgames, people did not pay any attention.
“It’s a pity…something is a little sad.”
“What can I do? If you make a fun game, everyone will do it.”
No matter how many users have moved on to virtual reality, the market still has a level of consumers that cannot be ignored. Because of the enormous price of over 10 million won per unit, young students and those who could not afford it were still feeding the existing game companies.
“Still, I can’t make as much money as I used to.”
However, the number of wallet warriors who spend money on games has decreased tremendously. In the end, sales and performance of game companies were crashing through the bottom and falling toward the bottom, but Jae-young said with a smile.
“That’s good. Do you look normal in the past when you poured hundreds of millions of dollars into a single game and sold all kinds of packages at ridiculous prices?”
whale.
The 1% user group that accounts for 90% of game sales. From a company standpoint, most of the games are customers who need to care the most…. Especially in the case of Korea, there were many cases of operating whale-only games for whales of whales. And Jae-young, who has been trembling with such management and has folded countless games. Because he was such a person, looking at the game companies going down in a situation where Arcadia is encroaching on all the markets, I felt a sense of exhilaration rather than sadness.
“This is all self-inflicted. Just look at the story of the maple leaf. You were the first to fall down because you were just thinking about extorting money from users while secretly talking about probability. Have you seen anyone doing that in a PC room these days?”
They don’t even think about enhancing the game quality, they put up an exorbitant experience table and repeated quests, and even a huge barrier to entry that can’t be overcome unless you pay for it. Because of this, the game world itself was on the verge of catastrophe due to the release of the first virtual reality Arcadia and a series of incidents.
-Are there any kids who are still clinging to this shit mangem?
-lol. My head isn’t broken yet.
-Disclose the odds or do it right, you bastards.
-Anyone who ruins thousands of 2D games like this? With that money, play Arcadia.
-God Lecadia, everyone.
A game without charging induction.
A game full of things to do.
A game with infinite degrees of freedom.
It was natural for people to be enthusiastic about Arcadia, a perfect world that seemed to exist only in the imagination. And as if to prove the heat, people who came to this festival were flocking to one booth.
[Arcadia Co., Ltd.]
A virtual reality service company that threw a vote for the first time in this game festa. Usually this festival was used for the purpose of announcing new games, so people were watching them with strange anticipation. With a strange anticipation in the heart of what kind of huge tidal wave to follow Arcadia’s successor, the game will be announced.
“Oh, I guess I’m going to start now.”
“Ooh, shouldn’t we go over there and help?”
Jae-gyun is shocked to see the design & development team members come up to the booth and prepare something. However, Jaeyoung shook his head and said.
“Well… I won’t stop you if you want to help, but I won’t go up there.”
“huh….? why?”
Jaeyoung, who played a pivotal role in the development and core of this project. Jaekyun also did a lot in this project, but it was Jaeyoung who did what no one else could, so he couldn’t understand Jaeyoung’s words that he would not stand in the spotlight and praise from everyone.
“If you go up there and sell your face, you get tired. I have already told manager Yang Min-hyeok and other team members in advance, so even if you don’t know, I will never be mentioned.”
“why….? It’s nice to be famous. If you also take this opportunity to reveal your true identity… No. I’m sorry…”
Jae-young refuses to reveal his name. Jae-gyun, who was about to tell him to disclose Dex to the whole world, suddenly realized something and quickly apologized.
“Would you like to pay attention to these crazy perverts who cry while tearing their black panties? I really want to just drop the game and go diving, but I can’t.”
“Ugh… I’m sorry.”
Guild ‘What color are Dex’s panties?’.
Ironically, the size of the guild, which was created by these goddamn sexually inclined people, grew exponentially as Dex’ performance shined.
-I want to cross the Japanese continent to find Dex. How do I get there?
-Ah, if you go to the Caribbean region, there is a kid giving a quiz about Dex. If you listen carefully to what he says and answer the questions correctly, they will sell you tickets for regular flights.
– Search the guild bulletin board for that. Someone sorted it out, but there were about 400 problems? Memorize well. If you fail the quiz, you cannot try again for a week.
-Does anyone know the brand of panties Dex wears?
Jae-young, who wanted to burn down their headquarters, even if it meant exhausting all probability just by looking at it. The fact that they have grown into the largest guild in the second continent where Korea plays is truly heartbreakingly sad. However, Jaeyoung almost gave up halfway because he knew that it would be impossible to get rid of all these damn leech-like perverts.
It was enough for them to be humiliated for the purpose of satisfying their perverted desires in virtual reality and the Internet, so he pushed Jae-gyun on the back and said,
“If you are going, go quickly. You are about to begin.”
“Ughhh!”
Jae-kyun glances at Jae-young with an indescribable feeling and then rushes to somewhere. When looking at his back. At Arcadia Co., Ltd.’s booth, the sound of the microphone began to resonate.
[Hmm….. Hello gamers all over the world. My name is Yang Min-hyeok, who is in charge of the design & development team at Arcadia’s Korean branch. This is the first time we have participated in this Game Festa. Please look at it cutely even if there are mistakes, and we hope our booth can give you a pleasant experience this time. Also…]
Manager Yang Min-hyeok’s greetings continued for quite a long time. By the time people’s faces start to grow annoyed at such a boring greeting, as if the principal is lecturing in front of all the students and saying that he’ll say one more thing for a few more minutes. He proudly announced to everyone.
[I know that many computer-based game companies have been in a difficult situation since the recent release of Arcadia. This not only discourages many developers, but also has the side effect of disappearing future talent.] A
situation that naturally occurs when one company monopolizes and monopolizes. Mentioning such side effects, he said with a smile of anticipation to those who were looking at him with curious eyes.
[That’s why we proudly reveal Arcadia’s second Miracle Project to you. The Glory of the Past is a project that revives games that are now in decline, but which enthralled countless gamers in the past era.]
