"Thank you for attending the Star Wars fan convention. Here is your Command & Conquer."
Lucas signed his name on the card box with a flourish, then handed it to the fan in front of him with a somewhat stiff smile.
He glanced at the back of the line out of the corner of his eye, but didn't see any decrease in the number of people.
In that instant, Lucas suddenly felt a strong urge to die.
This Star Wars fan convention had actually been in preparation since the beginning of the year.
After all, it was the tenth anniversary celebration of the Star Wars series, and Lucas had been taking it very seriously.
However, Lin Lixin's new game project disrupted his plans.
After discussion, the two immediately decided to temporarily change the release date to the official release day of Command & Conquer: Dawn of the Kyber Crystal.
This work is the best fan gift that best represents the tenth anniversary of Star Wars.
However, Lucas underestimated the fervor of Star Wars fans and far underestimated the terrifying appeal of Game Nova.
Once this was announced, the already booked exhibition space became unbearable.
Lucas only stopped sales and temporarily changed the venue location after ticket sales exceeded 10,000 and continued to rise sharply.
Compared to the originally designated exhibition hall that could only accommodate two thousand people, this time he directly found a stadium with a capacity of ten thousand people.
However, when the topic of holding a live book signing event came up, Lin Lixin suddenly ran away.
In his own words. "Oh dear, there's another problem with the hardware. Look at that, what bad luck, I guess I'll have to leave this to you."
Therefore, the autograph session originally planned to be conducted by producer Lin Lixin himself was changed to be handled by Lucas.
Now it seems----
Lucas's lips twitched slightly. Lin Lixin really ran fast!
It's a pity. I had already prepared a reason, so how did Lin Lixin beat me to it?
Even an old man shouldn't be kept up like this.
Hans finally got his hands on the Command & Conquer DVD he had been longing for.
However, he did not leave immediately.
It will take him a long time to get back to his hometown. By the time he's finished getting ready and actually starts playing, will my card still be considered a first release?
His gaze fell upon the long queue in front of him.
Isn't it better to play it right here at the launch event than to go home and play it there?
Lucas just revealed the truth about these machines during his speech on stage.
Just as he expected, these machines were indeed placed here for fans to use and play with.
Simply insert the Command & Conquer disc, and you can play it directly here.
More importantly, they can also play online battles with other fans on-site!
That's right, a battle!
Players can engage in battles in pairs using the interconnected cables.
One side chooses the Rebel Alliance, the other the Empire Army, and a battle ensues for the Kyber crystal.
What's going on?
this----
This is so damn awesome!
To be honest, after Hans heard Lucas finish his presentation on that part, he lost all interest in participating in the rest of the activities.
Hans's mind was completely occupied with nothing but the urge to play!
Fortunately, after a large number of local fans left, the number of people queuing inside the venue was much smaller than before.
This prevented Hans from having to endure the exhaustion for several more hours.
Half an hour later, he got a spot on a machine.
Coincidentally, the person sitting opposite him was the United Kingdom guy he hadn't seen since they parted ways the previous night.
The other person was visibly stunned for a moment after seeing him.
Then, the two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
What else is there to say?
Versus mode activated!
Which company do you play with?
"I like the imperial style, I like that vibe."
Although Hans's English wasn't very good, he still understood that it was time to divide into camps.
Having been born in Germany, Hans still harbored an instinctive urge towards things like giant ships, cannons, and steel torrents.
The gameplay is very simple; according to the instructions on the box, the only objective is to destroy the enemy's base.
"They even provided headphones?"
The widespread adoption of 3.5mm headphone jacks is nothing new.
Back in 1979, 3.5mm headphones, along with Sony's Walkman, entered every household.
Starting with NovaBo, the host has always had audio output compatibility.
However, since gamers usually prefer to use their TVs as audio output, this interface is not used very often.
It wasn't until the widespread adoption of multiplayer gameplay in Civilization on NovaXeno that voice communication became an important requirement.
It was around this time that headphones gradually became one of the peripherals favored by console gamers.
However, since the two are now face to face, if they want to communicate, they can simply shout at each other.
What's the purpose of providing headphones?
But he soon thought of something.
Rock N' Roll Racing!
Although it was an arcade game, GAMENOVA pioneered the inclusion of full-length commentary throughout the match.
The rapid-fire commentary is definitely one of the game's most amazing systems.
Many people even go to the arcade just to hear commentary and watch others play this game.
This reminds me of the promotional PV that GAMENOVA and Lucasfilm released together not long ago.
There is indeed a corresponding entry here.
Hans put on his headphones.
[Sizzle sizzle ----]
[Hello, Commander, I am your adjutant Sofia ]
Sure enough, a figure with a completely different style from the beautiful woman in the previous PV appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
The rebels are already preparing a counterattack; we need to start preparing immediately.
[Commander, please order the MCV to deploy.]
"Eh? Wow, you're surprised? There's such a way to do this?"
As expected, my guess was correct; this was simply a reuse of the commentary system from " Rock N' Roll Racing ".
This time, however, the commentary was presented as an "adjutant," serving only him.
To put it simply, this is a very cleverly designed beginner tutorial!
Hans decisively dragged the joystick to select MCV.
[LocationisKey (Location is the most important)]
It's quite interesting that the MCV dialogue differs between different factions.
Hans remembered the MCV in the PV, which wasn't this style.
Before long, both sides had completed their ore refineries.
However, shrouded in the fog of war, neither side was aware of the other's movements.
[Commander, we need to train a group of Imperial Army assault troops]
[Training----]
Several stormtroopers dressed in white helmets emerged from the barracks.
As the number of units increases, they will even voluntarily give up their spaces to newly trained units.
But before Hans could make any moves, a lean but swift figure flashed past in the distance.
He then dodged left and right, heading directly towards Hans's base.
As a seasoned strategy gamer who had played Civilization, Hans realized what was going on in just one second.
"Scheiße! The view is lost!"
