Chapter 081: Cloud Gaming

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion, the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

After demonstrating this, Wang Xiao did not continue to show the content of the game, but quit the game directly.

"Don't, Mr. Wang, we haven't seen enough yet!"

"yes, why did you turn off the game?"

"Mr. Wang, don't be so ruthless!"

Seeing that Wang Xiao actually quit the game directly, the audience, especially those game lovers, was suddenly unhappy and complained loudly one by one.

Listening to the loud voices of the audience, Wang Xiao showed a mischievous smile on his face: "Oh, look, why did I accidentally quit the game?" ā€

said and made a look of regret.

"You're too ...... Shameless! ā€

Seeing Wang Xiao's contrived appearance, the audience suddenly spurted out a mouthful of old blood, they never imagined that Wang Xiao still had such a side.

"Now that I'm quitting, I'll tell you about the specific performance of this host."

Wang Xiao ignored the protests from the audience, and clapped his hands directly and said.

Next, a series of performance parameters kept coming out of Wang Xiao's mouth, and hearing these performances, the voice of the audience gradually became smaller, after all, the performance of this console is very large, and the price must be determined by the process - this is what players are most concerned about!

Although from the perspective just now, the table of "Temple Run" on the console is amazing, whether it is the processing of scenery or the processing of tasks, or the application of motion capture, it has made the eyes of those here shine, but in the end, no matter how good the product is, it needs to be recognized by players to be considered successful.

Talking about the performance of the Asgard host, Wang Xiao asked everyone: "Everyone sue me, how much do you think this host should cost?" ā€

After asking, without waiting for everyone to answer, Wang Xiao hurriedly said: "Remember, this is the world's first game console that supports voice control and micro-motion capture." ā€

Hearing Wang Xiao's inquiry, the audience suddenly burst out with prices one by one, some people said they wanted 6,000, some people said they wanted 5,000, and some whimsical, and they directly said 998 loudly......

Everyone shouted for a while, and after seeing that Wang Xiao still looked like an old god, they couldn't help but reduce their voices, and finally everyone asked in unison: "Mr. Wang, how much is it?" ā€

"Yes, Mr. Wang, you will sue us!"

Hearing the audience's calls, Wang Xiao put down the kettle and stretched out three fingers with a smile: "This host, we have three prices, 1898, 2398 and 2898!" ā€

Hearing Wang Xiao's answer, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, because they had never heard that the host could also be sold in different sections, could it be that this host was also divided into high and low price ranges according to the configuration like the mobile phone?

Wang Xiao seemed to know what they were thinking, and said directly: "These three price hosts, their configurations are exactly the same!" ā€

"Huh?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, when the configuration was exactly the same, the difference between the lowest price and the highest price was a full thousand yuan?

"Mr. Wang, why is this?"

"Yes, if the configuration is the same, who will buy a host of three thousand!"

"That's it, Mr. Wang, why is this, is it the reason for binding the game?"

Some anxious audience members in the audience suddenly shouted impatiently.

To be honest, this scene is very difficult to see in other companies' product launches, because those companies' product launches are always carried out in a strict atmosphere, even if it is lively, it is just because of the host's witty words, and no big boss of a company will mingle with the audience like this.

Wang Xiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, listen to me first...... Before I explain these three price ranges, I would like to ask you, have you ever talked about the concept of cloud gaming? ā€

"Cloud gaming?!"

Hearing this word, all the audience present were shocked, "Is it ......?"

Each game manufacturer has its own unique explanation for the interpretation of cloud gaming, but in the final analysis, it is to liberate the player's dependence on hardware, and hand over the game's computing to the game service provider's large server to solve, so that the player no longer spends extra money to buy a processor and a high-end graphics card, only needs a network cable and a screen.

At present, many game manufacturers in the world have actually begun to develop cloud games, among which Sony's PlayStationNow has been put into operation in North America, but so far there is still no manufacturer in China to launch a cloud game platform containing masterpieces, all of which are small and small light game platforms.

"Looks like everyone has heard of the concept of cloud gaming."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Xiao continued, "Everyone guessed right, we have built our own cloud gaming platform, which is the same as the Asgard console, which is called the Asgard Game Platform!" ā€

Hearing Wang Xiao's affirmative answer, everyone showed surprise.

Asgard game platform!

"I know, you may be a little confused, after all, since there is a cloud gaming platform, then what are we doing with the launch of the Asgard console by Dao Technology, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?"

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, indeed, what is the purpose of cloud gaming? Isn't it just to keep players from spending money on consoles!

"To be honest, at the beginning, we really didn't plan to launch the Asgard console, but then we found a huge flaw in cloud gaming!"

Wang Xiao said with a stern face, "That is, cloud gaming has too high requirements for the player's network!" ā€

Some people in the audience who are more familiar with cloud games couldn't help but nod secretly when they heard Wang Xiao's explanation.

On the surface, cloud gaming seems to be an emerging concept of online gaming, which should be developed together with cloud services, but in fact, the concept of cloud gaming has long been proposed, and even when the Internet was just emerging, there were already people who proposed to build a cloud gaming platform, but in the end, these people all died down.

Why?

It's because cloud gaming is too demanding on the network!

At present, the country with the highest broadband penetration rate in the world is South Korea, with a broadband penetration rate of 98.5%, which can be said that everyone in the country has used broadband, and the average broadband speed has reached a high-speed level of 12.6Mbps, but this broadband speed is only the minimum standard that meets the broadband requirements of cloud gaming!

In the case of low game quality and less than 30 frames, cloud gaming can be used normally at a broadband rate of 10Mbps.

And it's not a slight increase - to achieve the same gaming experience as the console, players need to have at least 100Mbps bandwidth!

However, this is obviously too harsh for many domestic players, after all, the cost of broadband with a speed of 10Mbps is thousands every year, and if it is 100Mbps, the price will at least double on this basis, and this investment must be continued every year.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions of the audience, Wang Xiao continued: "Subject to the limitation of broadband speed, we decided to continue to launch the Asgard console, but we are not to sell the performance of the console, but for players to have a better gaming experience...... Why? Because we invented a game mechanic that computes together with the cloud and the console! ā€

"Cloud and host co-computing?"

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, the people present couldn't help but be slightly stunned, not understanding what Wang Xiao meant.

Wang Xiao didn't explain much about the contents, but said: "You just need to know one thing, through the synergy between our cloud game server and the player's host, even if your home network speed is only 2Mbps, you can still get the perfect experience of the console's stand-alone game!" ā€

"What?!"

"Only need 2M internet speed to play cloud gaming? It's incredible, isn't it? ā€

"Yes, I've heard some media say that if this cloud game wants to be popular, it will be at least 2020!"

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, the players were completely boiling.

After all, cloud gaming is too tempting for players, it not only means that players have reduced the time they have to wait for the game to download, but also means that players can try some games that they have not tried before because of downloading or buying discs, after all, when you want to play a game, but have to pay a few hundred yuan or a few hours to download it, players often choose to refuse.

But now it's different, with the cloud gaming platform, they can try whatever game they want, and they don't have all the previous concerns.

And the game developers who have been paying attention to this press conference are even more excited at this time, and keep shouting: "We must develop games based on the Asgard console, suspend other work at hand, and go all out to develop games based on the Asgard console!" ā€

It's true that Sony's PlayStation Now is already in operation, especially in its home base of Japan, and there are already many game users, but they still have a fatal flaw that has not been solved!

That's that the graphics quality of their games is too scummy!

Sony's PlayStation Now is really good, playing games smoothly with 5Mbps of broadband speed, but they chose to sacrifice the graphics for the sake of smoothness - which is simply unbearable for many high-end gamers.

In the past, players couldn't help it even if they couldn't get used to Sony's scum picture quality, after all, other manufacturers didn't even have a cloud gaming platform, but from today on, things are different, players have one more choice, a better choice than Sony!

Wang Xiao didn't pay attention to what other people thought in their hearts, and he continued: "It is precisely because we have this technology that we have launched these three price range hosts. ā€

"If your home broadband speed reaches 100Mbps, then please choose the 1898 host, because your broadband speed is enough, so our server will not open up computing resources for your host, and you can already get a perfect gaming experience;"

"But if your home broadband is in the range of 50Mbps to 100Mbps, then we build yƬ you still choose the 2398 version of the host, this kind of host, our system will make some use of the host's computing resources, and at the same time, our cloud server will release a part of the computing resources to integrate with each other, which will also make your gaming experience reach a perfect state;"

"As for players with a broadband speed of less than 50Mbps, we recommend that you choose the 2898 version, because we will call several servers to serve you, but we guarantee that your gaming experience will still be perfect."

"But please rest assured, no matter which price you choose in the end, you will not have any difference in the gaming experience, after our exclusive host and server co-computing system, on the basis of ensuring that the game performance of the console is not affected, your gaming experience will be exactly the same!"
