In the bustling Times Square in New York, with crowds of people and traffic flowing in all directions, countless tourists stop here to witness one of the most famous cities in the world.
"Come on, smile for me."
A man and a woman are preparing to take a photo under the big screen in Times Square.
The woman shows a sweet smile, her face beaming with a sunny, cheerful look, her mood clearly very good.
The man is also very cooperative, and they seem to really get along well.
They are tourists who came here, previously living as ordinary people in a remote area of the United States.
Normally, the man would only work on his farm, managing his family's agricultural business.
Since meeting his wife, however, his entire life focus has shifted to her, and after marriage, he has pampered her in every way.
...
This time, he came on his wife's strong request for their honeymoon.
They still have many more stops to make.
"Okay!" The man finishes taking the photo and waves at the woman with a smile.
The woman immediately runs over with a sweet smile and looks at the details of the photo in the camera.
"How is it, dear? How do the photos look?"
The man asks proudly.
He believes his photography skills are pretty good, so he feels confident about how the pictures turned out.
"Well... I feel like they could have been better." The woman ponders, looking slightly troubled.
"Could it be better? Then let's take another one."
"Mm!"
The woman says, then heads back under the big screen in Times Square and strikes another cute pose.
The man, again very cooperative, raises the camera and points it at her.
At this moment, a new advertisement appears on the big screen in Times Square.
Before, it was an advertisement for a sports drink, which the man wasn't particularly interested in.
But suddenly, the advertisement switches, and his gaze, which was originally focused on his wife, shifts uncontrollably.
"Dear, come on, let's..."
Huh?
The man sees the screen in the camera suddenly fill with smoke.
Amidst the smoke, he can vaguely see many soldiers engaged in intense combat.
It seems like a modern-style battlefield?
No, it doesn't seem like it, because the soldiers' outfits appear to be quite high-tech.
"Sweetheart, are you done yet?" The woman strikes her cute pose again, but when she doesn't hear her husband, she curiously asks, but he doesn't respond.
Because the man is already captivated by the advertisement on the big screen in the camera.
It's said that mechs are a man's romance, and this is no mere saying.
The man's family runs a farm, and they have worked with the land for generations.
But they don't live like those facing the dirt every day.
Their lives are quite comfortable.
They use many farming machines on the farm, and almost everything is mechanized for planting.
Having grown up surrounded by machinery, the man is particularly fond of mechanical things.
Of course, he also likes war-type movies.
At this moment, he is thinking if this is a promotional video for a movie. It looks interesting, maybe he could check online later to see if there's any related news.
As he thinks this, he prepares to press the shutter button.
But without realizing it, he forgets about his wife and instinctively points the camera at the largest advertisement screen in Times Square.
"Sweetheart? How's it going?"
"Just a moment, sweetheart, I'm looking for the perfect angle."
The woman's cute pose is starting to feel a bit tiring, but hearing her husband talk about the best angle, she patiently strikes the pose again with a sweet smile.
As for the man, he continues to watch the advertisement through the camera.
At this point, the soldier in the advertisement is using his incredible mobility to take control of the battlefield.
The actions are so cool.
In just a few seconds, this soldier has taken out over ten people. He's a killing machine.
At first, he was confused, but now he's completely captivated by the exciting battle scenes.
"Great!"
Finally, when the soldier defeats the last enemy and strikes an incredibly cool pose, the man can't help but cheer.
"Sweetheart, are we done yet?"
"Huh? Oh no, not yet!"
The man responds a little nervously, quickly trying to adjust the camera again and continue taking pictures of his wife.
But the advertisement hasn't finished yet.
The advertisement continues to show more content.
Now, it's not just a movie-style video, but a first-person combat scene.
In this scene, you are the powerful soldier, moving and dodging to defeat enemies in various battle settings.
Then, at the very end, a massive mech appears.
The man's breath catches in his chest for a moment.
It's a mech!
One of his favorite things!
In Japan, with the rise of anime culture, mechs have become popular all over the world.
Though there's no Gundam, there are similar cultural works.
The man, due to his family background, has always been very fond of these machines with mechanical beauty.
When a giant mech appears, he now has one thought in his mind:
This is a mech! I have to get my hands on one!
Then, the full image of the huge mech finally appears in the advertisement.
The mech actually looks quite rough.
It's much more rugged than the battle giants he's seen before.
Those mechs from Japanese culture are always rendered as cool, impressive figures.
But to the man, those always seem a bit unrealistic.
The mech in the ad, though rough, still gives off a feeling of authenticity.
It feels like it really existed.
The exposed mechanical skeleton structure and the simple but not simplistic combat movements.
What's that leg structure? It looks like a kangaroo's leg. That kind of leg must be extremely explosive.
What is this?
Damn, why have I never seen something this cool?!
The man is now certain that this is not a movie.
But he hasn't yet connected this to a game, as the games he played before were mostly childish and didn't fully captivate him.
"Titanfall"
The game is about to be released, coming to PC platforms and the new GSX home console. Stay tuned.
The ad finally reveals the mystery.
It's a game!
This is a game?
The man's eyes are wide open in disbelief.
He swears this is the coolest game he has ever seen.
Who knew games could have such impressive visual effects? He hadn't realized it before.
"Sweetheart, what are you doing?!"
Suddenly, a slightly angry voice interrupts the man's thoughts.
The voice is right beside him.
His wife had felt something was off and, unhappy, walked over.
She then realized her husband had completely ignored her and was fixated on the camera, staring at the ad on the big screen.
She didn't understand what was going on, but she knew her husband clearly wasn't paying attention to her photos.
This made her very angry.
"Ah, dear!"
The man, now a bit flustered, quickly tries to refocus the camera and continue taking pictures of his wife.
But at this moment, the ad hasn't ended.
The ad continues to unfold.
Now it's not just a movie-like video but a first-person perspective combat scene.
In this scene, you are the powerful soldier, using your mobility to defeat enemies in various battle situations.
And at the very end, the massive mech appears.
The man's breath briefly stops.
It's a mech!
It's one of his favorite things!
In Japan, with anime culture's rise, mechs have become popular worldwide.
There's no Gundam, but there are similar cultural works.
And the man, due to his family background, instinctively likes these machines with mechanical beauty.
When the massive mech appears, he now has just one thought in his mind:
This is a mech! I have to get one!
