Plague Inc. In real life: coronistry and canceled events
Virus Covid-2019 For several months it has been walking along the planet. The last month of him was feverished stock markets and the economy around the world. Panic news about new sick. And a few days ago the epidemic officially grew into a pandemic, that is, covered the whole world.
In addition to obvious economic and medical consequences, the blow was also inflicted on those who are already rarely in the company of other people, which means that he has less chance of infecting – by geek.
Joking jokes, but fans of popular culture are really rarely gathering in large groups, trying to communicate on the network. And only two or three times a year there are events that every geek dreams of getting. Here we will talk about the abolished conferences, dividing them into three groups:
– Large canceled events,
– Moving films,
– events that will most likely cancel.
E3 and BAFTA Games in the flight
The first category is the largest game conference in the year Electronic Entertainment Expo (in the common people – E3). Developers of games and gaming journalists from all sorties of the world gathered on it annually. The brightest releases and colorful shows take place there. Each company is trying to outline competitors and set its own project in the best light. In 2020, she was not abolished, but it will be held online, without visitors. On the day of the exhibition, most likely, it is worth expecting a fall in Twich and YouTube servers.
We also include BAFTA Games (British Oscar for Games). If we talk about sport, the World Figure Skating Championship and NBA game championship have already been canceled.
And Disney and Netflix Non-uk-casinos.co.uk officially suspended the production of all their films and series. WB has been limited only by series. The most part transferred their employees to the remote.
“Not time to die” will come in the fall
More and more companies are reporting on films. In this first was James Bond’s anniversary part. You can understand the producers: this part turned out to be the most expensive in history, and China, as the largest market, closed cinemas due to quarantine. The same fate befell the films “Mulan” and “New mutants” (it turned out funny with mutants, because this is their fifth transfer). Companies position the cancellations and transfers by care of the health of the audience, so let’s pretend that the case is really about this, and not in possible financial losses. Universal Studio moved the premiere “not time to die” from April 9 to November 25, and “Fast and the Furious 9” will now see the light of April 2, 2021 instead of the original on May 20. Paramount abandoned the premiere of “Quiet Place 2” on March 19 and has not yet announced a new release date. The family painting “Rabbit Peter 2” is now expected in cinemas on August 7, and not on April 3, as it was planned.
ComicCon and Olympiad in question
As for possible transfers, then you can gamble a little.
After the abolition of E3, more and more people talk about the abolition of the nearest ComicCon-in San Diego and New York. D23 and Star Wars Celebration are in question. And if we talk about Russia, then there is an incomprehensible situation with the festival of Japanese Hinode culture in Moscow, as well as Bubble Fest, since by order of the government of the event more than 5,000 people should be canceled.
The greatest threat hung over the summer Olympic Games in Tokyo. At the moment, there is a discussion, following which they will most likely be postponed. In Japan, there are now widespread quarantine, schools, universities and government agencies are closed. But some experts say that coronavirus is a reason stretched like an owl on a globe, since Tokyo is not yet physically ready to accept games.
The homebody won
In the same Japan, the entertainment industry has prepared “buns” for homebody. SHUEISHA publishing house announced that for a time of quarantine (up to the spring holidays in Japan) will make 60 volumes of One Piece manga free in its application. In addition, from March 9 to April 1, Fuji TV will broadcast special anime recipes. Many other publishers and channels supported them and now broadcast anime for Japanese schoolchildren for free.
The widest selection of content is provided by streaming services: Netflix, Kinopoishd, Okko and many others. You can look at them as a classic (there is now completely “Avatar: the legend of Aang”), and something new (there is just the third season of Castlevania on Netflix, and “Akimbo guns” with Daniel Redcliffe will soon be released).
From game releases during quarantine you can please:
– Ori and the Will of the Wisps platformer. This is the continuation of the Adventure Platformer Ori and the Blind Forest, whose events unfold in the same forest as in the original game. The main character again becomes the spirit of the forest named Or, who went on the next campaign to help the forest and its inhabitants.
– Finging My Hero One’s Justice 2 – according to the anime universe Boku No Hero Academia.
-Nioh 2 is the continuation of the Samurai Dark Souls-Like action, offering players to again go to Japan from the Middle Ages, inhabited by Ekami and hostile samurai.
– DOOM ETERNAL – continuation of the 2016 DOOM restart. Events are transferred from Mars to Earth, which suffered from the invasion of demons. In the role of the executioner of rock, players will have to free the earth and destroy as many abstracts as possible. In addition to the Earth, Dumgai will also look at the base of people on phobos, and also, of course, will visit hell again.
But, in general, do not forget about hygiene rules and do not forget to see a doctor if you feel bad. Take care of your health, because playing Plague Inc is interesting only on the phone.
