Agreeing to Create Bad Games, What the Hell Is ‘Titanfall’? Chapter 330: E3 Begins! Third Battle Against Komera!

Exploded!

As the final title "Resident Evil 7" appeared!

The chat barrage section of the video instantly exploded!

Dense streams of comnts surged like tidal waves, completely covering the entire screen in an instant!

'OHHHHHHH--'

"What the fuck? What the fuck!"

'Holy shit I thought it was a PT spin-off at first! But it's actually Resident Evil!'

'So perfect! So fucking perfect! It has PT's horror vibe plus Shinji Mikami's Resident Evil feel! This is absolutely insane!'

'Golden Wind rules! Old Thief rules!'

'Ahhhhhh—King of Horror super horror IP! I can't even imagine how terrifying this Resident Evil will be!'

'This trailer gave goosebumps! So fucking divine! This is exactly the right feel!'

'Resident Evil directed by Old Thief! I'd call this the strear apocalypse!'

'@PewDiepie, get ready pew, your Grandpa Sam is back!'

'Tooooooooool......'

'This must be Golden Wind's main showcase at E3 this year!'

'God, the latest Resident Evil supervised by Sam, this is absolutely insane...'

'You rascal, you really brought out the big guns for everyone, huh?'

'I can't wait anymore...'

......

No doubt!

As the recognized "Master of Horror" among the player community, the news of Gu Sheng taking charge of Resident Evil imdiately caused a huge sensation in the gaming circle upon announcent!

Moreover!

From the promotional video, it was clear that this installnt of Resident Evil would completely shift away from the action-shooter style that began from the fourth installnt, pulling the tiline back twenty years and refocusing on the "sense of horror"!

Instantly, emotions ran high as players scread and cheered with full anticipation, causing the news to explode instantly!

Along with the release of this trailer, what also exploded was undoubtedly Seiichi Nakamura's mind!

Resident Evil!

This na hit him like a sledgehamr to the head, sending chills from his heels to the top of his skull!

Admittedly, everything in Golden Wind's promotional video—from the cloud-shrouded, horror-filled imagery to the spine-tingling woman's nursery rhy—was terrifying enough.

But!

For Nakamura, the appearance of the na "Resident Evil" was absolutely more terrifying than the trailer itself!

Shinji Mikami's legendary work, a globally phenonal horror ga IP!

Although they had heard before that Golden Wind was actively negotiating with a horror ga IP, seemingly wanting to purchase the copyright to participate in this September's E3 Electronic Entertainnt Expo in Los Angeles.

But Nakamura never expected!

That these madn from Golden Wind would actually approach the notoriously difficult Shinji Mikami!

You should know!

Before this, Kora had been eyeing this super IP Resident Evil for a long ti. Originally thinking that after Mikami Studio disbanded following Resident Evil 6, they could finally acquire this top-tier IP to develop and continue profiting.

But never expected.

This Shinji Mikami was like a stone in a latrine—stubborn and hard.

Forget discussing prices; Shinji Mikami didn't even give them a chance to introduce themselves, either claiming to be unwell and not receiving guests today or saying he was out fishing with his fishing rod tomorrow. They were practically fed nothing but closed doors until they were stuffed!

And now!

Golden Wind actually managed to contact Shinji Mikami, and not only that, they even... bought the copyright to Resident Evil?!

At this year's E3, we're going to clash with the world's top horror ga IP Resident Evil directed by Gu Sheng!

Seiichi Nakamura felt all the blood in his body run cold!

In an instant, an extrely ominous feeling rose from the depths of his heart.

He vividly rembered the devastation of their last horror ga clash with Golden Wind.

But ultimately, Gu Sheng still completely shattered their expensively produced "Silent Hill" with an original new IP "Escape".

And this ti, they hadn't retreated but instead evolved, bringing in a super IP of Resident Evil's caliber!

Panic.

Seiichi Nakamura wasn't a fool; he knew very well that Gu Sheng's title of "King of Horror" wasn't just empty words.

If ti could reverse, he would absolutely not have made a military pledge to President Uekoe Kagemasa for the title of "Leader of the Big Three", vowing to use this E3 to reverse Silent Hill's decline and make it a classic IP.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Now, the company had already listed "Silent Hill: Reboot" as a key project and Kora's absolute main showcase for this year's E3.

The huge investnt exceeding 289 million dollars was affirmation and confidence in his "Night Owl" project, while also carrying the highest expectations of the company group!

He had no way back now.

So, after the panic, Seiichi Nakamura forcibly cald himself down.

"Don't panic, Nakamura, the situation isn't as severe as imagined,"

Nakamura comforted himself:

"There were rumors before that the starting price for Resident Evil's copyright was over 500 million dollars,"

"aning, even conservatively estimating, Golden Wind paid at least 500 million dollars for this IP acquisition..."

This was absolutely a price that Golden Wind's cash flow couldn't bear.

So they must have taken out related loans.

But doing so would naturally an their ga developnt costs would correspondingly tighten.

After all, if even the copyright acquisition fee exceeded what they could handle, their developnt budget would definitely be even more stretched.

Golden Wind was getting crazier and crazier.

So crazy that even all-in bets couldn't satisfy them anymore—they were now borrowing money to go all-in!

This was practically a life-risking strike.

Clearly.

Golden Wind was betting everything on this globally renowned horror ga IP.

"...And this way, if they fail, the blow to Golden Wind would absolutely be devastating,"

At the afternoon board eting, Seiichi Nakamura stood before the projection screen, speaking confidently:

"And this is precisely Golden Wind's biggest hidden danger—"

"They may succeed many tis, but repeated successes have given them overly blind confidence, prompting even crazier actions,"

"And as they say 'pride goes before a fall',"

"Beneath countless successes, they automatically ignore the hidden danger of destructive failure,"

"As long as we seize this opportunity, we will definitely be able to severely damage their foundation,"

"So..."

At this point.

Seiichi Nakamura took a deep breath and scanned the board mbers and executives present:

"I apply to increase the budget for 'Silent Hill: Reboot' to 350 million dollars,"

"This ti, we will use a next-generation industrial quality super horror masterpiece to completely eliminate the remnants of the old era,"

"And Golden Wind will definitely pay a painful price for their arrogance!"

Right!

Seiichi Nakamura was indeed panicked.

But equally, such panic also fueled his ambition!

You should know, the Resident Evil IP currently holds quite a high status in the gaming circle!

If he could really use "Silent Hill: Reboot" to defeat "Resident Evil 7".

Then not only would the title of "Master of Horror" change hands, but he would also be recorded in history, becoming through "Silent Hill" a global top ga director like Shinji Mikami, or even achieving more than Shinji Mikami!

By then, forget being the leader of the Big Three.

Looking globally, he would be a unique designer capable of establishing his own school!

And the reason Seiichi Nakamura dared to think this way was naturally because he had sothing to rely on.

First, Golden Wind spent huge sums to buy the copyright, leaving them financially strained with limited developnt funds—this was certain. This way, he could completely crush Resident Evil 7 in industrial quality through high production values.

Second, although he had enormous ambition, he wasn't arrogant like Yamamoto and Koizumi.

They looked down on Golden Wind, this unlisted "small workshop", from the bottom of their hearts, and even more despised Gu Sheng, this "designer from the ga-barren land".

But he was different.

He clearly understood Golden Wind's creativity, and even more clearly recognized Gu Sheng's extraordinary expertise in gas.

It was precisely because of this that he managed to reverse Kora's decline with "Night Owl" and successfully join the ranks of the Big Three studios.

And this ti.

Facing Gu Sheng's "Resident Evil 7", he decided to repeat his trick, thoroughly studying Gu Sheng's "legacy work" at Kora—"Silent Hill PT".

Just wait and see, Golden Wind.

Arrogance will ultimately make you pay a painful price...

"Gathering gaming news, focusing on what players love, hello everyone, I'm Tian Tian, reporter for Daily Gaming News!"

"Welco to today's special live broadcast program—【The 14th E3 Global Electronic Entertainnt Expo】Day One Live Coverage!"

September.

The autumn air was crisp, sumr's heat gradually fading away. In the pleasant autumn equinox season, as one of the world's four major ga expos, the E3 Global Electronic Entertainnt Expo was held as scheduled in Los Angeles, United States, across the ocean.

Crowds gathered outside the venue, countless young people clustered at the entrance of the West Hall of the International Convention Center, peering inside.

As Daily Gaming News' dedicated field reporter, Tian Tian remained as professional and approachable as ever, currently introducing to the cara:

"Hello dear viewers, as you can see, we're right at the entrance of the Los Angeles International Convention Center!"

"Today, the convention center's largest West Hall will host the annual E3 Electronic Entertainnt Expo as usual,"

"As one of the world's largest electronic ga exhibitions,"

"This E3's scale is unprecedented, with over six hundred ga companies and studios exhibiting—the most in years,"

"Over the five-day exhibition, it's expected to welco over 250,000 player visits for tours and experiences..."

Amid the sea of people, Tian Tian's voice seed sowhat drowned out.

As she said, players had been looking forward to this exhibition for a long ti.

As the first global ga expo of the second half-year's ga release season, this E3 was packed with major titles.

For sports gas, Neon's Kol once again focused on soccer, releasing the sequel to "Peak Soccer" that was a launch title for Yiyou X2 alongside Titanfall—"Peak Soccer 2: Focus".

For racing gas, Huaguo's Nuyan conducted in-depth research on the once sensational Peak Kingdom, releasing their first new extre racing ga—"Ridge Racer".

As for shooting gas, FPS titles from various major companies and studios erged endlessly.

After all, the second-generation FPS model pioneered by Golden Wind's Left 4 Dead had now beco mainstream, while PUBG after it created the battle royale genre. Titanfall remained talked about as the pinnacle of shooting ga storytelling, and Overwatch was the standard answer for perfect fusion of skills and shooting.

Just by studying any one of Golden Wind's works slightly, they could create a ga that players would happily buy in their familiar style.

"...Various companies gathered here to add glory to the opening of this year's ga release season,"

After this introduction, Tian Tian changed topic:

"Of course! Besides these familiar companies we all eagerly anticipate,"

"There are two companies at this E3 that are particularly eye-catching,"

"They have faced off not just once before,"

"And this ti, both have brought out their best skills, respectively launching their sa-genre flagship titles to compete at this major ga expo,"

"They are Neon's Kora's Nakamurai Studio, and Huaguo's Golden Wind Ga Company!"

As soon as these words were spoken!

The chat barrage naturally beca fiery!

"Resident Evil 7" vs "Silent Hill 2"

Now, this "focus battle" was no secret in the gaming circle.

After all, not two weeks after Golden Wind released their first trailer, Kora also announced their first trailer.

And surprisingly, this ti "Silent Hill 2" led by Nakamura was actually quite high quality.

Not only was the entire trailer filled with a familiar terrifying atmosphere, but the partial actual gaplay footage included also made people exclaim at the explosive industrial quality.

"I order you to start imdiately! Don't be ungrateful!"

"This year's scale is huge, my wallet will suffer"

'Indeed, I've pre-ordered Ridge Racer, originally planning to get it with Resident Evil 7, but damn Old Thief isn't opening pre-orders either'

'Feel like this Resident Evil has the right vibe, less shooting, more horror flavor'

'I strongly suspect Old Thief's Resident Evil isn't just less shooting, but fucking no shooting at all (dog head)'

'Hahahahaha true, after all Phasmophobia, PT and Escape didn't have guns'

'Shit! No need to be so extre, right?'

'This Kora Silent Hill quality seems pretty good too, wonder if it can beat Old Thief'

'Indeed, after all this director's previous "Night Owl" was good, has so skill'

'Counting it, this is the third battle against Kora'

'I heard this "Silent Hill: Reboot" cost over 2.5 billion yuan, Little Yellow might really have a hard ti this round'

'Holy shit—2.5 billion? That's insane?'

'Probably not small, just the Resident Evil IP alone is worth a fortune'

'CEO Ou: Don't ask, just know we went all-in'

'Hahahahaha that's so CEO Ou...'

'Holy shit! It's starting it's starting brothers!'

As a prominent line of chat scrolled past amid the discussions!

Los Angeles ti 9 AM!

One of the world's four major ga expos, the second international ga expo Golden Wind participated in, the third clash with Kora on a global stage—

The 14th E3 Global Electronic Entertainnt Expo!

Begins!!!
