Chapter 565: A Game Called Infinity
Deep Blue Technology, a high-tech company that emerged less than a few months ago, immediately ranked among the world's top 500 after launching the virtual reality helmet against the sky.
Normally, the leader of such a high-tech company deserves a lot of media attention, but strangely, until now, no one knows who the owner of the company is.
Since this company is registered in the Cayman Islands, it is simply a three-way zone, as long as you pay the money, you can legally set up the company.
Even if there are some unusual companies that have been formed, the Cayman Islands government has turned a blind eye.
If the registered company itself does not want to disclose the company's major shareholders and leaders, it is impossible for others to know.
And this dark blue technology is related to eccentricity, it is obviously such a good hype method, it just turns a blind eye, just opens one branch after another there, and honestly sells his virtual reality helmet. There is not the slightest hint of prying at other businesses.
It has also come as a relief to other large companies and consortia. After all, these new high-tech companies are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers, often violating their inherent territory.
No one wants more competitors to enter their territory, and one more competitor will make the market cake thinner. Therefore, many established companies are very afraid of these new high-tech companies.
However, seeing that Deep Blue Technology is so honest, they are also happy. After all, they still need to firmly grasp this golden thigh and expand their domain into this emerging virtual network world. So I don't want to make the relationship with Deep Blue Technology too stiff!
Soon, the first beneficiary of the virtual world was born, and an online game company that had not attracted much attention before launched a game of its own virtual world for the first time.
This game is basically a remake of the original old game of the 90s, one person, one knife and one dog, fighting invincible opponents all over the world. Just such a game, which is not competitive from the perspective of today's players, has gained 1 million online users as soon as it was launched in the virtual network.
Although the manufacturing is rough and the rules are simple, it can't stand the super real feeling of virtual reality.
Here, players can actually hold a kitchen knife and experience the feeling of punching to the flesh.
After the popularity of this game, other game companies have announced their own game porting plans, like dumplings, to port their own games into the virtual network world.
With the help of virtual reality helmets, these already boring games have been given a new lease of life, making the manufacturers make a lot of money.
However, after that burst of freshness passed, the most criticized by players was that the NPCs in the game were too dull, and they looked like wooden people, although the picture looked realistic, but many details would have loopholes as long as the player paid attention.
For example, the simplest physical blow feedback, the average game is like hitting a wooden stake, without any force feedback at all. Some games are a little better, and while there is strong feedback, that force feedback looks fine on the screen. But in virtual reality, it looks just weird.
You kicked a barrel away, only to have a slow motion when it fell. After hitting the wall, it didn't bounce in the slightest, and it shattered to the ground.
And no matter how much force you use, there is no difference at all in the effect of force feedback.
These are all games that are not very rigorously programmed at the beginning, resulting in many phenomena that are very different from the real physics.
Although various game companies also know that once their games are converted to the virtual world, there will definitely be various bugs, but others are not much better. In this world, it's all about who is better, and it doesn't matter if it's perfect or not, the player doesn't have to choose anyway.
But just around the corner they weren't paying attention to, a small online game company called Infinity was quietly established.
The company doesn't have any advertising, it doesn't have any corporate homepage, and no one else has heard of their games. But by coincidence, several players entered the game called Infinity.
Here, they suddenly found that there was almost no difference between this place and the real world.
The flow of air, the humidity of the rain in the sky, the glare of the sun overhead, the damp dirt underfoot, it all came to life.
Each of the NPCs living here is almost indistinguishable from real humans, and they have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as birth, old age, sickness and death. Guiding players is just their daily job.
It's a world that's too real to be real, with the only difference being that the player can be resurrected. Although each death brings great suffering, and it is accompanied by a high punishment. But as long as they can be resurrected, these players have the capital to try again and again to explore the mysteries of this continent.
Moreover, the name of the game is infinite, which means that each player can descend into different worlds, where they have to rack their brains to complete the tasks assigned by the system, destroy the shadows in the darkness, and save the fate of this world.
Although it is only a very old theme of good and evil, it inspires a strong sense of responsibility among players.
When they found that their mission had failed, the world would fall into the abyss of destruction, countless living beings would be wiped out, and those once familiar faces would cry out in grief before his eyes, and their hearts would still tremble even though they knew that it was all fake. That feeling of despair makes them unable to forgive their failures in their hearts.
Such a game that is not intended for entertainment quickly spread among the player circle, although its entertainment is simply poor, but the entire game is the ultimate restoration of the real world, so that every player who enters this game is smacked for the authenticity of this game.
Compared to other games on the market, this game has become a god-like existence. The difference between the two is simply heaven and earth.
And the company of this game probably didn't think about making a profit, the games are all free to play, no krypton gold is required. All the equipment is by fighting, there is no other way. You say official service, I'm sorry, the only service is that after the mission fails, it needs to cost a lot of money to resurrect.
Because the process of acquiring equipment and abilities is extremely difficult, almost every player has a rare set of abilities and equipment that they have earned so hard, and no one wants to start from scratch.
If it is really unfortunate to die, those players who do not have a small amount of money have to choose to partially resurrect, only retain half of the body's abilities, and lose all the equipment and everything.
And those local tyrants who are not bad for money directly spend money and resurrect with full blood.
You know, the lowest level of resurrection in the game only costs a hundred. And with the higher the level of resurrection, the more abilities are retained, if the player is dressed in a god costume and his ability is off the charts, at this time, if he wants to resurrect in situ in a full state, he needs to spend at least millions of RMB.
So most players completely regard this game as a real reality, and no one dares to try the taste of death easily, after all, the taste of death is too unforgettable.
There was once a local tyrant who relied on his money and died like crazy, and as a result, the cost of resurrection soared exponentially. By the time of the last resurrection, the cost had already exceeded one billion RMB.
Seeing this astronomical figure, even this local tyrant player said that he couldn't stand it if he was careful!
Such a difficult game is destined to most players just to taste it, although there is the most realistic experience here, but the difficulty beyond it stops many ordinary players.
It's also a relief for the big game companies. At the same time, he secretly made efforts to speed up the development of the game, and made every effort to copy this game called Infinity, hoping to catch up with the footsteps of the other party.
