This entertainment consumer expo is like a carnival specifically for gamers.
Because here, there won't be anything other than games.
Here, there is only ultimate entertainment.
The total area of the entire exhibition venue exceeds 20,000 square meters.
Seventy percent of the venue is allocated to provide exhibition space for all businesses.
The remaining thirty percent is for major companies to conduct on-site business negotiations.
Oh, there's also a small area for professional game developers to exchange ideas, which is not open to the public.
And the space provided specifically for businesses to exhibit, in this first edition of the expo, Gamestar Entertainment directly occupies a hot area in the center of the venue, with an area of over 4,000 square meters.
Building a exhibition area of over 4,000 square meters, including two floors, the upper floor is dedicated to various previews of the latest games for players, while the lower floor is a trial area with over five hundred different types of gaming machines.
However, this time, not all the machines in the trial area are from Gamestar Entertainment.
Surprisingly, a small part of it is a trial area for personal PCs.
These personal PCs are also specially customized, with the most luxurious computer configurations of the moment, and the coolest appearance, attracting players to linger here.
This is also the first time Takayuki has participated in such a large gaming expo in this world.
It really feels like the E3 from his previous life.
Gamers everywhere are passionate about electronic games.
Here, everyone shares the same interest.
Apart from being a good opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their products, for gamers, it's also a chance to meet like-minded people.
In his previous life, Takayuki didn't have the opportunity to go to E3 because he was usually very busy, and getting a visa to the United States was not easy at that time.
Later, when it was finally about to be processed, the world was hit by a wave of pandemics, so he had to give up reluctantly.
That year, he had already saved money and planned to go to E3 first, then take a few months off to go to the Tokyo Game Show.
But experiencing it in this world is also quite good.
But his identity in this world is completely different.
Now, he is already a highly respected figure in the gaming industry, no longer just an ordinary transparent player.
Now, he even needs to deliberately hide his appearance here.
It's not really because he's afraid of being recognized, but because if he is recognized, it will indeed be troublesome and affect his enjoyment of this interesting mega expo.
This time's expo is mainly handled by Matsubashi and their team from North America. Gamestar Entertainment just provided some previews of future games and trial platforms.
Takayuki didn't even tell anyone about his coming here; he just quietly came by himself.
Because he wants to experience the atmosphere of such an exhibition again as an ordinary player.
This can also be considered as fulfilling an unfinished wish from his previous life.
So, he came to the exhibition according to the formal process, bought a visitor ticket, and followed the crowded people waiting under the scorching sun for the moment when the venue opens.
At this moment, the people around him didn't complain about the scorching sun; instead, they spontaneously started to actively get to know the people around them while queuing.
Takayuki noticed a few players not far away who were cosplaying.
All of them were dressed as game characters related to Gamestar Entertainment.
There's Mario, there's the Hero, and there's Claude with the yellow hedgehog head.
Of course, since there's Claude, there must be Tifa and Aerith.
Moreover, these two images are very easy to cosplay. You just need to roughly wear the corresponding costumes, and as long as your figure isn't too bad, you'll look very similar to the game characters.
After all, when Final Fantasy 7 was released, the actual modeling wasn't so detailed, which left a lot of room for imagination.
Just from what Takayuki saw, there were more than twenty Aeriths and Tifas around, and he hadn't even seen this many main characters Claude, indicating the popularity of these two characters.
When these people with the same interest in games appear together, they will surprise each other and start chatting happily.
Only at this moment can they be sure that they are not alone in liking games, but there are millions of people who share the same interest.
Soon after, several players cosplaying characters from Final Fantasy 7 started to perform spontaneously at the scene.
The performance was about Aerith miraculously resurrecting, according to them, it was because the strongest White Materia preserved Aerith's body and soul inside, and then, after the efforts of the main characters' team, Aerith was finally released again, and everyone lived happily ever after.
After these players' spontaneous performance ended, it immediately caused waves of applause.
They really wanted to see a happy ending.
Even thinking about it made them feel excited.
Unfortunately, Takayuki himself is not sentimental, and without a heart, he has no mercy; Aerith dies without any hesitation.
Actually, in the end, Takayuki just wanted the people in this world to experience the feeling he had when he was moved to tears back then.
This may also be considered a kind of dark humor.
And now, seeing the players spontaneously perform a perfect happy ending, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
This atmosphere is really good.
The weather in July is very hot in the United States, especially today, with almost no clouds in the sky, making it difficult to bear the heat.
But the players here seem to be completely unaware.
Finally, the time came to nine o'clock.
With a crisp and pleasant music from the direction of the main entrance, everyone became alert.
"Dear players, welcome to the first Entertainment Consumer Electronics Expo. The venue is officially open. Please enter in an orderly manner."
"Wow! Finally going in!"
People cheered, and the crowd began to rush towards the entrance.
Even if Takayuki didn't want to move his feet, he inevitably followed the crowd towards the entrance.
There are really a lot of players participating in this first edition of the expo; it took more than twenty minutes just for countless people to enter the venue.
When they entered the venue, what greeted them was the refreshing air conditioning, and many people couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, feeling like they had entered heaven from hell.
When they officially entered the reception hall of the venue, they were greeted by huge game advertising posters.
Among them, the most advertising space is occupied by four companies.
Gamestar Entertainment, SuRui Electronics, Brown Entertainment under the CEO Hack Brown, and Morgan Group's advertising posters.
Except for Morgan Group, the other three are all leaders in their respective gaming fields. As for Morgan Group, well, it's not on the same level, at least not in terms of company size.
But the most eye-catching, most attractive posters are still from Gamestar Entertainment.
Displayed in the posters are numerous well-known game characters from Gamestar Entertainment, and the main content of the promotion is the company's latest two gaming consoles.
GS1, the highest-performance product in the gaming console field, the most popular product among players, the product you deserve to own.
GBA, play anytime, anywhere, experience the ultimate fun of mobile entertainment.
