In addition to the lively queues at the House of Horrors, the north location of E3 is also bustling with people.
There is an independent venue area used for holding press conferences.
It is somewhat similar to the layout of a box, except that there are many "boxes" and can accommodate thousands of people.
This is the biggest difference from the original World E3 show.
The terrain is so large that it is more like a theme park than an exhibition.
In addition, every visitor to the E3 exhibition, whether it is the media or ordinary individual players, has an exhibition guide in their hands.
The location of the exhibitors and the event schedule are clearly marked above.
For example, at what time are there any signature peripheral activities, what time are there any performances, etc.
It's totally a carnival atmosphere.
And now, through the guide, almost 90% of people know that there are two game conferences today.
One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The one in the morning was from a game company called America, and the one in the afternoon was from Meng Shu's company.
But since we are here at E3, whether you want to attend the two game conferences or not depends entirely on your personal wishes.
After all, the press conference is not the most important thing.
But since I am here at E3 and there is a press conference, wouldn’t it be a pity for me not to participate?
Therefore, in addition to those media practitioners at the E3 exhibition, most players chose to watch the live conference.
Mainly, I want to know some exclusive news or other traffic news, etc.
Therefore, by around 2 p.m., everyone who had attended the morning press conference had arrived at The Only Game, a Chinese game company.
Now, the huge venue is already full of people.
As a result, the venue was noisy and lively.
Media practitioners and individual players from all walks of life found their seats in pairs, waiting for first-hand news.
What's more, it's even ready for live broadcast.
Meng Shu, on the other hand, sat in the audience.
Now, it is 2:40 in the afternoon, 20 minutes away from the 3:00 game conference.
The reason why he was sitting among the crowd was because he was preparing to enjoy the stage play again. More importantly, I want to hear the opinions of foreigners.
This kind of personal visit to the player group has a reality for him that is different from the questionnaire survey.
Soon, as there were more and more people, and the time for the press conference had not yet arrived, those who arrived first were already chatting with each other.
Of course there are also interviews.
For example, there was a foreign guy wearing a sun hat in the front row of Meng Shu. He used a portable microphone to interview the people sitting next to him.
"Hi, Man. Have you heard about the game at this conference?"
"Yes, Dead Space."
The person sitting next to him nodded without hesitation and blurted out the name of the game.
After hearing this, the younger brother asked again.
"Then have you ever been to their game trial exhibition area?"
The person sitting next to him nodded again.
"Yes, are you talking about that type of real-life scene like the pit lane? In fact, that's why I came here. It was so interesting."
The younger brother asked again.
"Oh, OK. What do you think of the game Dead Space? Is it fun?"
After hearing this, the people sitting next to me nodded vigorously without hesitation.
"Yes, I think it's very fun. Although the demo version at their exhibition only lasted 30 minutes, the compact content and beautiful graphics made me very unforgettable. I can't wait to experience the official version."
"So were you scared?"
"Of course, I was shocked. Not just me, but my friends and other players as well."
The people sitting next to me talked and smiled.
"It's hard for me to think of any game that could scare me in 30 minutes, not Control Breach, not Sky Hill."
The interviewer said he understood, but he also maintained the other two horror games.
"I think you should understand that their demo version is just a piece of exciting content. It does not require you to start from scratch and play slowly like other works of theirs."
The people sitting next to him nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I understand that. If their demo version shows the beginning, I think it won't scare anyone in 30 minutes."
"Compared with this game and the one released this morning, which one do you like better?"
The person sitting next to him stopped for a moment and smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry, that game this morning. In fact, I'm not very interested in aerial combat shooting. So compared to the two games, I prefer Dead Space. Even though it's a scary horror game, I don't like Dead Space." like."
"OK, got it. Have a great day buddy. I'm HJon, and now let's interview the other people who arrived on the scene. Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guy in the sun hat got up and left.
Along with it, there are also accompanying photographers.
Meng Shu watched them go away, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Meng Shu happened to know about the air combat shooting game they just mentioned.
That was the new game released by the American company this morning - "Defense Air Force".
This is an air combat shooting game with RPG elements.
Players mainly operate fighter jets one after another to fight in vast areas such as seas, mountains, deserts, and cities.
Then use the machine guns or missiles on the body to annihilate the enemy.
The main gameplay is not only through the main plot, but also the online experience.
It allows players to drive fighter jets to challenge each other on a large map.
Secondly, the plane is warm.
Various fighter jets, graffiti spray paints, weapons and equipment, etc. can be unlocked through the game process.
And each different machine has different data and feel.
They all play differently.
After watching the press conference, Meng Shu felt that the game was a bit like "Ace Combat 7" through the live demonstration.
Especially the tense aerial combat gameplay, it just looks like it was copied.
In addition, the production company is a well-known game company in America. It has many IPs and is also an established manufacturer.
It is obviously impossible to say that players are not looking forward to their game.
If there is no such thing as shrinkage or castration in the future, then this air combat shooting game will be a good quality game.
But, it’s your game show in the morning.
That afternoon, it was my turn.
Meng Shu took out his phone and looked at the time on it.
Now, it's only a few minutes until 3 o'clock.
Looking up at the venue again, the entire press conference was completely dark.
There were basically no empty seats, and even the aisles in the last row were still filled with tourists who had no seats.
Seeing this, Meng Shu knew it was time.
[Every group is ready, Teacher Li, please excuse me. ]
Soon, Director Li replied to the message.
[rest assured. ]
At the same time, a countdown appeared on the large screen facing the stage of the venue.

9…
8…
7…
This scene immediately attracted the audience.
They all adjusted their sitting postures and looked at the big screen, waiting for the official start of the press conference.
In their imagination, as soon as the countdown ends, the person in charge of the game will come on stage to read the speech and explain the game's features, gameplay, innovation, plot, etc. to the audience.
but
This time, they were wrong.
The countdown continues.

Snapped--
The lights in the originally bright venue suddenly went out and became pitch black.
It was simply broad daylight now, so it wasn't so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, but the difference wasn't big.
If it weren't for the fact that the air conditioner was still blowing, everyone at the scene would have thought there was a power outage.
Since there is no power outage, it means that the game company did it deliberately.
But it’s just a press conference, why do it like this?
The next second, the audience knew why.
A video recording appeared on a large screen as wide as the wall. Inside, there was a beautiful woman with short blond hair.
The audience at the scene could tell at a glance that the woman on the big screen was not a real person, but a very realistic CG character.
And this, the audience immediately understood. This is the promotional CG. The promotional CG has started to play, and the press conference has begun!
On the screen, the short-haired woman looked embarrassed.
Her blond hair looked messy and her expression looked tired and exhausted.
Large areas of sweat and grease formed dirt and floated on her face, giving her a sense of hardship and hardship.
As if there was some news that needed to be conveyed.
Just as the audience was thinking this, as expected, the embarrassed blonde woman spoke quietly. The tired voice and fluent English also spread throughout the venue through the speakers.
[My name is...Alyssa Vinson. ]
[He is the chief security officer on the Ishimura ship. ]
[Whoever sees this video, no matter who you are, please remember the following words. ]
[Ishimura No. Ended]
[And I may be the only survivor]
As the blond woman was talking, she suddenly rubbed her forehead. She seemed to have a headache and some discomfort.
But she still calmed down, gritted her teeth and continued to speak.
[We encountered an alien life form that took control of the crew's bodies and mutated them]
[All my team members died in the line of duty. The mining site was also captured. All life signals showed that contact was lost]
[Although I don’t want to admit it, I’m afraid there’s no life left on the ship ehhhhhhh]
In the video, the blonde woman once again covered her head and screamed in pain.
He even lay down on the console at one point to endure the severe pain.
But soon, she recovered again, but her hair was messy and stuck to her face.
[I believe. This disaster is related to a certain architectural stone tower we found on the mining planet]
[It's what caused all this. It drives us to madness. It makes us kill each other and we don't even know what it is.]
As soon as she finished speaking, the blond woman stared fiercely, her pupils filled with anger and hatred.
[Except for the captain of the Ishimura, this is a conspiracy. A conspiracy...! ]
The next second, a spotlight hit the stage, attracting the audience's attention.
There, in the center of the stage, two people, a man and a woman, appeared unexpectedly!
Two obviously 3D virtual people!
On the left is a muscular middle-aged man with unshaven beard and sparse hair.
On the right, isn't she the woman with short blond hair who was recorded on the screen just now?
At this time, the golden woman lowered her head slightly and spoke in a deep voice to the middle-aged man.
"Sir, contact has been lost at the mining site, and there are unconfirmed life reactions there."
"I think I need to take a team down there to have a look and at least figure out what's causing the mining sites to lose their connection."
For some reasons, the Unification Church in the game was changed to the Truth Religion.
