Chapter 80: Blowing Out a Future
"Joel, you had a good time." The boy who was pulled over by Joel to challenge said in a flirtatious tone. In his impression, Joel belongs to the kind of man who can't win for 10,000 years, and he can win a game, which is an unprecedented miracle.
Joel touched his head and said, "I like Warcraft a lot. feel
"Just play, you think I'm scared of you?" The boy next to him said.
In the second game, Joel won.
In the third game, Joel won.
"This ...... It's not scientific! The boy beside Joel wailed, "This ...... This game is toxic. What a garbage game, I'm going to play StarCraft, you can play it yourself. ”
The boy dropped his mouse and walked away.
Joel just stretched out his hand to make a reservation, but found that the boy was gone, and reluctantly put down his hand.
However, he didn't think Warcraft was a garbage game, instead, he felt that the game was a good fit for him. At the same time, he also wondered why he was so strong in "Warcraft", which was originally pressed to the ground and rubbed against him in "StarCraft", which can be described as strong and terrifying.
However, he didn't think about it so much, and seeing that there was no one, he hit a few cruel computers by himself.
With the quietly launched products of "Warcraft", there is another one, which is the graphics card developed by Titanium Technology.
This graphics card uses a ready-made interface reserved on the motherboard, of course, this interface was not intended for connecting graphics cards before, so the performance actually does not quite meet the actual needs of the graphics card.
The difference between a graphics card and a CPU is that the graphics card can process a large amount of data in a pipeline. For those scattered data, the processing power is not as strong as that of the central processing unit.
But. The output display data is structured like this, so. The structure of the graphics card is the one that is most in line with the display.
Titanium Light Technology. Graphics interface agreements are currently being negotiated with some PC manufacturers. This needs to be negotiated by many computer vendors.
After all, it is not yet the time when individuals can assemble computers, and no matter what, everyone is still buying "brand machines".
Under the introduction of Titanium Technology, most manufacturers can see the bright future of graphics cards. Not only in the field of gaming, but also in professional fields such as video editing, graphics cards also have unique advantages.
Although everyone can say that they hit it off, but. It will take a long time to make an agreement.
Because, there are too many manufacturers participating. Everyone wants to have a greater voice and fight for broader interests. Therefore, a meal is unavoidable.
However, before that, using the interface that was already on the original console, the graphics card launched was already on the market.
According to Lin Yan's idea, it is to let "Warcraft" take the lead. With the graphics card produced by Titanium Technology, it is on the fast track of sales.
And what is the most cost-effective way to promote Warcraft, yes, it is to hold a competition.
Compared to placing a large number of advertisements in print media or television broadcasting. Holding a competition, on the contrary, is more attractive and less costly. The way it works better.
Otherwise, there will be no loss of money in the competition. There are also so many companies that are happy to hold competitions.
Holding a contest can be said to be a relatively subtle way of publicity. It's not sticking to yourself. I'm the size of an advertisement.
As we all know, whether it is produced in a beautiful advertisement, as long as it is said to be an advertisement, modern people have a natural resistance to it.
It's not because of anything else, it's because there are too many ads in modern life. And the credibility of the advertisement is very questionable.
Video games, on the other hand, hold competitions to make people at a higher level stand out, as if it were a normal way to do so, without the slightest hint of advertising.
As a result, people's acceptance of the competition is relatively high. It's also easy to get caught up in that frenetic atmosphere.
Of course, another interesting thing about video game competitions is that they are extremely inflammatory. There are many young people who are not deeply involved in the world, just because they look at the players on the stage are very beautiful, they plunge into it, wanting to earn an inch of world for themselves in the world of video games.
Of course, most people will end up disappointed.
After all, video games rely on diligence, but when diligence reaches a certain level, what you watch is talent.
There are many hard-working people, but there are very few people who are truly talented.
At this moment, Joel didn't know that there was something called a graphics card that could greatly improve the graphics level of Warcraft. In fact, in his current opinion, the picture level of "Warcraft" is actually not much different from "StarCraft". There is no fundamental change.
However, there are already a small number of wealthy gamers who choose to buy a graphics card, and when they toss the chassis open, plug in the graphics card, and install the driver, they find another world.
It turns out that the graphics of games on the computer can be so beautiful, even surpassing the level of home game consoles and arcade machines.
Of course, more than is definitely exceeded. You must know that the price of this graphics card of Titanium Technology is worth two super red and white machines.
Just as the differences between consoles and personal computers in later generations are the same in this era.
The graphics of the computer can indeed be very good, but it costs more and more money, which is cumbersome and cost-effective.
Game consoles, on the other hand, are the same, cheap, and the performance of all machines is the same. In this way, the game can be matched according to this system, and there are not as many models and different components as facing the computer. Make many different settings. As a result, the entire game runs less efficiently.
Of course, high-end players don't care about the price, and a good picture is enough for them to blow it.
Soon, the picture of "Warcraft" plugged in the graphics card made its way into the magazine. The big headline of the magazine reads, "The end of the home console?" The picture of the PC? ”
The virtue of the media is like this, when there is nothing to do, I like to blow it, and when there is something, I like to blow it even more. After all, attracting attention is the foundation of their life. It won't blow, there is no future at all.
Blow out a future.
This sentence is a true portrayal of media people.
Of course, most people were still encouraged by this article, but when they asked about the price of the graphics card, they immediately gave up.
This graphics card is worth two super red and white machines, plus the computer itself, which is almost the price of three super red and white machines.
The price of five super red and white machines, with one such thing, can only enjoy superior graphics on the game "Warcraft", how to think about it is not cost-effective. (To be continued.) )
