My Hollywood System - Chapter 208
At the Gaming Expo, 2013.
EC GAMES
The name of the company appeared on the big screen, where more than half of the crowd had their eyes focused.
“What in the… GTA?!”
“Wow..!”
“The start… fuck! Look at that!”
The silence erupted, yet the people who were absorbed by the screen in front of them couldn’t help but compliment how the video clip started with a long shot of the city.
In Will’s previous world, [GTA: Vice City] was originally released in 2002. Since Will was in a world where the graphics had much-advanced technology, the entire visuals looked so much similar to the [Grand Theft Auto V] video game.
Yet, the story was almost an abstract of the original [GTA: Vice City].
After the city was shown, Tommy Vercetti, the video game’s main character, appeared on the screen. In his hand was a gun. He then pointed it at some characters, and shot them.
And, there was something that the people noticed as soon as Tommy Vercetti’s face was shown—his features.
“Doesn’t he look like Ethan? I mean, look at the facial features… Is it really him?!”
“I guess so too…. Shush, now don’t talk.”
Ethan, who stood a bit far away from the stage, noticed the sudden commotion among the crowd. Seeing that, a smile appeared on his face..
The scenes changed rapidly, and the screen shifted to shots of different cars, and helicopters, then an inaudible conversation of gangsters, Tommy Vercetti fighting people, his guns being used by him to shoot those people, and him getting on to different types of cars were shown.
Then, as the trailer would progress, a title which wrote,
‘WELCOME TO MIAMI CITY!’ appeared. Within seconds the words appeared,
‘Live the journey of Tommy Vercetti as he takes over Miami City!’
The trailer described each and every car that was available in the game. Apart from the cars, it also shifted its focus on explaining every type of mission in it.
After a few seconds, the trailer came to an end. The crowd looked shocked. Some of them haven’t even moved an inch. And some had their eyebrows almost touching the hairline.
“Did you just see what I just saw?”
“How can it be true? It just looks realistic as fuck!”
“Oh shit, EC Games really did something with Will!”
“What in the world?! I’m going to pre-book the game, so I can play as soon as it’s out!”
“Man, did you see those graphics?!”
The talks and whispers took over the silence which spread by the end of the trailer. They were shocked by how good it was due to how realistic the game had been made. This world had never seen such a game before although there were already many games developed.
Games which took place in the real world were popular among the crowd, but they were mostly spy or fps games, which bored the gamers due to how much they had played/streamed among others and with themselves.
The specialty of the game which they released a few minutes ago was how there was no such concept before; the concept of taking over a city and living a gangster life.
Which also meant, by the trailer, every gamer could tell that it would be one hell of a crazy ride to play.
After the trailer came to an end, seeing the reactions of the people, Will smiled.
Since the video game was about to release in 2013, the graphics looked way better and the city was almost double the size it was in the original. The missions were increased, and the EC Games had even added missions related to the police and FBI.
At the same time, as Will had fully instructed them to do, a heist was planned as a mission. Nevertheless, with all the new stuff added to it, the main story was left as the original.
“Thank you everyone for coming here. From the looks on your face, I believe you have enjoyed the trailer. So, before answering any of the questions or explaining anything that you wish to know, I’d like to invite the project manager, Jay Linchon, voice actor, Ethan Silva,….”
Will made a quick introduction, and the important people who helped in making the game joined Will on the stage.
As soon as the people lined up next to Will, they started to explain about the game and their experience while working on it. The tough spots while making the game, and the fun points were shared, which kept the crowd entertained throughout their explanation considering how everyone who were present was genuinely interested in the game.
After a while of the happenings on stage, it was the turn of the reporters to ask questions. More than half of the questions were directed at Will and Ethan because how they were big stars in the industry.
Different questions like,
“For how long have you been working on this project?”
“When can we expect to see the game among the people?”
“Why did it become a game, and whose idea was it?” were asked.
“Why did you decide to make [GTA: Vice City] a game instead of a movie?” Another man in the crowd questioned.
“Well, to be honest, it seemed like a cool idea. And after I got the idea, I had to talk to Ethan, and then Ethan really liked the idea when I first explained it. And I had plans in my mind, so I just went ahead with it. This could have been a great movie, if that’s your point, but isn’t this greater?” Will questioned making everyone nod and agree with him.
“Is every car available in the game like Ferrari and Mercedes?” Another reporter questioned.
“Haha… The thing is, the car companies rejected our offer. But they might consider their cars to be added in later patches. So, we have hope,” Will joked.
As GTA is set in the real world, Dream Vision has contacted a lot of car manufacturers to design their cars inside the game as a form of advertising. The car manufacturers were to give them money as they would get advertisements.
But most of them rejected the offer, because they couldn’t believe that a game would help in sales.
Will, on the other hand, was sure that they would change their decisions after the release of [GTA: Vice City].
