Chapter 230: Call of Duty

"Well, there are too many people."

Although Warcraft 3 is jointly developed by Blizzard and Tang Dynasty, many people still come to Blizzard. Coupled with some game enthusiasts in Europe and the United States, they have traveled thousands of miles for this Warcraft 3. Although Warcraft 3 has not yet been fully developed, the basic functions are still almost complete.

Moreover, in this game show, it is said that everyone gave a request for a 3-minute trial. Unfortunately, there are too many people in line, not only European and American players. Even domestic players have a lot of them.

It seems that although Tang Dynasty Company launched Counter-Strike, its popularity has soared and it has become the overlord of the domestic game industry. It's just that Tang Dynasty Network is still very young after all, and the company has only been established for two years. There is still a big difference between Blizzard, which has long been famous and is the leader of the global gaming industry. At least, compared to the two, the difference is a little bit.

Some fans may say that the Tang Dynasty network is no worse than Blizzard. But this is not worse than Blizzard, in fact, there are some inferior.

"Hello, I think I have a great idea to talk to your president, Mr. Mike."

Chen Jiayi came to the side of the hall and took a copy of Warcraft 3 materials. Then, he whispered to a staff member on the side.

"Oh, this gentleman, how did you know that Mr. Mike was here?"

"Hehe, because, Mike and I are good friends."

Chen Jiayi really knew Mike, but Chen Jiayi did not go to the United States, nor did he meet Mike. The two only met on the internet and occasionally discussed games together. This time, Mike took advantage of the game exhibition to actually prepare to meet Chen Jiayi. It's just that the time is too tight, and seeing that the game show is about to start, Mike wants to start dealing with the game show first, and then meet Chen Jiayi.

"Well, I hope you didn't lie to me."

Blizzard's reception lady was skeptical, and then entered the exhibition area to report. After a while, Mike came out of it.

"Hi, my friend Mike, you don't recognize me."

Chen Jiayi made a funny move, and then said another mantra that often hangs on Mike's lips.

"You are, you are Chen ......"

Mike exclaimed, fortunately his pronunciation was not very good, otherwise when Chen Jiayi's name was pronounced, a large number of players might have run up.

"I'm sorry, your appearance has changed too much."

Mike has only seen photos of Chen Jiayi, and, for Westerners, many Chinese look the same in their eyes. Needless to say, Chen Jia brought a pair of glasses, but he didn't have glasses, maybe Mike had to confirm it. After all, there are too many Chinese here.

"yes, I think too."

Chen Jiayi propped up the glasses on his nose, these glasses are good. Although the frame is a little thicker, it is also a little wider. But after bringing it up, it can really deceive a lot of people. If the hairstyle is changed again, I am afraid that it will be Chen Jiayi's mother, and it will take a while to dare to recognize it.

Afterwards, the two entered the game exhibition area together.

"Chen, do you know, I actually wanted to have a good chat with you last night, but it was too late......"

Don't, there's something to talk about at night, Chen Jiayi thought evilly.

"It's okay, no, aren't we meeting?"

"Haha, that's good, Chen ...... What do you think of our Warcraft 3? ”

"It's good, but when I was passing through here, I suddenly came up with an idea."

"Oh, yes, some of your ideas are precious."

Mike and Chen Jiayi have talked about games for a long time, and for Chen Jiayi's game planning ability, not to mention that Mike is not as good as himself, even Blizzard's vice president Allen, is not as good as Chen Jiayi in terms of game strategy. Now when I hear Chen Jiayi talk about an innovation, Mike is listening.

"Like, this time Warcraft 3 doesn't have a custom map."

The so-called custom map means that players can customize the map they want through the program given by Blizzard. There are some talented players who have made maps that are even better than those made by Blizzard. For example, the later Dota is a multiplayer-style custom map of the Frozen Throne. Moreover, this custom map is actually made by just one player. It has nothing to do with Blizzard, but it is this map that has aroused the love of countless people.

"Yes, no."

Then, after Mike finished speaking, he already knew Chen Jiayi's game idea this time.

To be honest, the ability to customize maps is not unique to Blizzard. Many of the games in this book have custom maps. However, Warcraft has promoted the custom map stream to the world, and a whole bunch of talented players are fighting in this game. Then, the setting of this custom map becomes especially important.

Naturally, for what Chen Jiayi said, Mike was a little penetrated.

"Chen, you're such a genius. If you weren't the CEO of Tang Dynasty Company, I really wanted to invite you to develop Warcraft. ”

Mike said that Chen Jiayi was a genius many times, and every time Chen Jiayi could surprise Mike.

"Don't, I'll talk about it, it's okay, it's going to be done, but it's the worst."

The two laughed, and at this point, Mike laughed and said, "Come on, my friend, let's try this game." I'm sure you're familiar with the game, but you haven't played it before. ”

At this time, Mike pulled Chen Jiayi and came to the game exhibition area.

It's just that Blizzard has too many fans, even if Chen Jiayi and Mike chatted for a while, there were still a lot of long queues.

"I'm really sorry, or else, we'll line up together."

Mike thought that the players had tried to play Flashman, but he didn't expect that there were so many people.

As the CEO of Blizzard, although he was surprised to see the long line, he would not take advantage of his privilege to cut the line.

"No, I think it's going to be lined up until dark, I'll go to another game exhibition area."

"Alright then, my friend, I hope you have a good time."

Mike waved his hand to Chen Jiayi and watched Chen Jiayi leave.

In fact, Chen Jiayi saw that Blizzard's popularity was so high, and he was also a little depressed in his heart.

Although the popularity here is not as much as that of the Tang Dynasty Internet, a foreign visitor has already compared most of the domestic game manufacturers in the game exhibition, and Chen Jiayi doesn't know what it feels like.

Next year, Warcraft 3 will probably be launched, perhaps, by the end of this year. When the time comes, World of Warcraft, which has been secretly developed, will be launched, Chen Jia can't help but recall the development process of Blizzard. Then, a firm idea suddenly came to me, "Then, I acquired Blizzard before the launch of World of Warcraft." ”

In fact, the later Blizzard has been acquired by the French media giant Widvan. However, at that time, when Widdish Wang acquired Blizzard. Because of the launch of World of Warcraft, Blizzard has tens of millions of game users, bringing a steady stream of profits to Blizzard. As a result, Blizzard has made a name for itself because of his many competitive games. After that, because of an online game, his worth skyrocketed. Even if it were acquired, it would cost almost $20 billion.

In addition, a World of Warcraft has also given Blizzard a taste of sweetness. A few years later, Blizzard didn't release many competitive games. On the contrary, more energy has been spent in the online game market. For example, constantly updating the Warcraft expansion and so on. Another example is the change of the signature Diablo that has always been for Blizzard to an online game.

Now, World of Warcraft has not been launched, and although Blizzard is very strong, it is also very famous. However, his value is definitely only under a billion dollars. It is not very difficult for Chen Jiayi to acquire it.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiayi had already made a plan. Go back and talk to Liu Sichen and Gu Xiaoyu to see if you can come up with a better plan to acquire the game giants in this world to Tang Dynasty Network.

While thinking about his thoughts, he walked along the exhibition area.

"Why are there only a few people in this exhibition area?"

Chen Jiayi is very strange.

In the corner of the game exhibition area, Chen Jiayi saw an exhibition area. It's just that the location of this exhibition area is relatively biased, and the scale is not large. Even the staff in the exhibition area were very small, just hanging an electronic screen, and then there were a few computers there. It seems that they are waiting for the arrival of the player. It's just that most of the players looked at them twice, so they rushed and went to other game exhibition areas.

"Hi, friends, you seem to be very unmotivated, cheer up, I really want to know your game."

Chen Jia looked at the electronic screen and felt that this game was a little familiar. However, I don't know which game it is. So, Chen Jiayi stepped forward and greeted them in English.

Seeing the arrival of players, the members of the exhibition area began to introduce the game to Chen Jiayi. Even if it's just a player, it's not what they're looking for.

"It feels good."

It's a great feeling to see four people working together for themselves.

After listening for about ten minutes, Chen Jiayi finally knew that this was a first-person shooter. It should be said that it is a game of the same category as Half-Life. It's just, since Counter-Strike came out. All shooters have become overshadowed, even Half-Life, which has always been very popular before.

No wonder there are so few people here.

"I think your game is very good, guys, can you tell me what the name of this game is?"

From just now to now, Chen Jiayi feels that this game is very familiar. Especially after they introduced the characteristics of this game, Chen Jiayi was even more impressed. It's just that people have a short circuit. Chen Jiayi still can't remember what the name of this game is. So, he asked about the four of them.

"World War II Plan."

At this time, the four of them said the name of the game.

"World War II plans?"

Chen Jiayi shook his head, as if he hadn't heard of it. It seems that this game is not the one I remember. Although, this game is a bit like the games of later generations. However, Chen Jiayi, who hasn't played a first-person shooter game for a long time, can't remember so much. So, he stood up, intending to take another look at the game.

"Recently, though, we decided to call the game Call of Duty."

Seeing that Chen Jiayi was not very interested, the four of them took the beach with both hands, and casually said the name that had just been set not long ago.
