833 What is Online Gaming?
"Online games? What is this? Like Yamauchi, the vast majority of players have a confused expression when they hear the term online games, but only a few players know about it.
No way, online games are a little too rare these days.
Although, according to research, the first online games appeared as early as the 60s, the online games that were truly open to all players only appeared in the 80s.
And this kind of game is just the simplest text game, such as fighting, you can't see the battle screen, you can't carry out combat operations, you can only see a text "You fought with the three-headed dog of hell, won the victory, got 3 gold coins, and 15 experience points"
If you buy an item, there is also only one text: "You spent 20 gold coins to buy an elite sword!" ”
All in all, the entire game is full of text, and you can't see any of the game scenes, so you can only click on the different options to make a decision.
But even such a game, when it was first launched, charged as much as $6 per hour, a price that no online game with a point card can surpass even now.
Of course, the number of players in the world's first real online game is also pitiful, and it is said that the total number of players who have played this game is less than 1,000.
Later, several online games were released one after another, and the number of people was basically the same, and the largest number of people was only a few thousand. And these games are basically not developed by game companies, they are all the masterpieces of some individual developers.
It wasn't until 1997 that EA launched the world's first online game with a graphical interface, "Cyber Genesis", which officially kicked off the curtain of online games.
And this time, it will be our Daqian Group that will open the curtain.
"First of all, I would like to ask you a question, how many people have you ever played a game at the same time?" Boss Jia asked with a smile, and then there was a confusion in the audience, and all kinds of answers came out.
"Okay, I've heard everyone's answers, but it seems that there are only 8 people who have the most answers!" Boss Jia said that 8 people is indeed the highest number of players below who are playing with their friends at the same time.
Because the game console only has two gamepads at most, even if SFC supports multiple SFCs to play in parallel, it also needs the game itself to support multiplayer play.
At present, the game in the SFC game console supports up to 8 people to play at the same time, and this game is Nintendo's Mario Kart, in addition, Daqian has just released Daqian Running Kart, which also supports up to 8 people to play at the same time, which is the highest number of simultaneous online games that can be supported by mainstream games.
"Do you know how many people can play at the same time in an online game?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"10 people?"
"30 people?"
The audience in the audience asked cooperatively, but the highest of them was only a few hundred people.
"That's the number!" Boss Jia raised a finger and said, "100,000 people!" ”
"In my mind, an excellent online game can accommodate at least 100,000 people online at the same time!" Boss Jia's words made everyone gasp, 100,000 people playing together at the same time, how is this possible?
"Don't think it's incredible, as far as our current technology research and development and reserves are concerned, as long as the network is getting more and more perfect, there is no problem at all to accommodate 100,000 people online at the same time!"
"And now, I'd like to announce to you the first online game that we are working on...... Well, this time there is no big screen, because our online game is still in the early stages of development, and I don't know exactly when it will be developed, but I can tell you that the name of this game is: Sword Art Online · SAO》”
"Sword Art Online · SAO! Isn't this the first game of Sword Art Online? "There were still a lot of fans of Sword Art Online at the scene, and they recognized the origin of SAO at the first time.
"It seems that some friends have recognized it, that's right, we are planning to build the world of the classic game SAO described in Sword Art Online, of course, our game is not played with a helmet, but with a computer, so there are some settings that are impossible, but overall, we will create a fairly perfect SAO world!" Boss Jia squinted his eyes and said.
Because commercial online games have never really appeared in the world, and Sword Art Online · SAO has actually just begun to develop at this time, and the current computers can't meet the configuration needs of online games, and there are still too few computers connected to the network cable, so although Daqian announced a commercial online game "Sword Art Online · SAO, but no one really cared about the game until he appeared in front of everyone.
"Okay, I've already introduced all the new games that our games will launch this year or next year!" After Boss Jia finished speaking, the players present felt that their brains were relieved at the same time, and it was the first time they had seen a game company that released so many new games in one go.
And judging from the introduction of the chairman of Daqian Games, most of these games seem to be very interesting and fun, which fully arouses the interest of players.
However, at this time, the game release has ended, and the players have gotten up, and when they were about to leave, Boss Jia on the stage suddenly said badly, "All the new games in our Daqian game headquarters have been released, so let's invite our Daqian Blizzard Studio to release their latest games!" ”
"What! Blizzard Studios also has a new game released! When most of the players present heard the news, they sat back in an instant when they had just stood up.
At this time, a significant number of players in the scene were fans of the game "Humans and Warcraft", so when they learned that the makers of "Humans and Warcraft", Blizzard Studios, would release a new game, everyone was excited, could it be that the second part of "Humans and Warcraft" will be released next, and we will finally be able to see the next story of the world of Azeroth?
And many Pokemon fans present also suddenly reacted, didn't Jia Yapeng say that there are three new news announcements about Pokemon? Why is only one published now? What about the other two? Why is there no movement at all?
As a result, all the players who had just gotten up did it again, and then watched Alan Adhan, the general manager of Blizzard Studios, walk out, he wiped the sweat from his forehead a little nervously, and then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this is the first time I've appeared on such a grand occasion, I'm a little nervous, please forgive me!" ”
There was immediately a burst of laughter.
"Okay, I know you've watched a lot of new games and you're already a little tired, so I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, let's just watch the promo!"
"I've been killed for five hundred years, but now, I'm resurrected, and I'm Diablo, Big Pineapple!" With such a terrible sound, an army of countless demons came out of the dark caves.
These demons are also produced by Dynasty Special Effects Studios, and all of them are at the level of Hollywood movies, so these demons that seem to exist like real ones have attracted the attention of all audiences.
"And you damn players, are you trying to stop my resurrection?" With the roar of the big pineapple, the three of them suddenly appeared on the path that the demon army must pass through.
"These three aren't going to challenge an entire army, are they?" An audience member couldn't help but say, and then the human warrior with a giant sword among the three of them killed the countless demon army.
The female archers with bows and arrows showed their beautiful posture and perfect figure, and then bent their bows and arrows, and in an instant, countless arrows rained down from the sky, killing a large number of demons.
The last is the mage with the staff, when his companions have already begun to fight, the mage is always chanting, when the battle has been going on for more than a minute, the warriors and archers, have been suppressed by the demon army again, seeing that the three-person team is about to be wiped out, the mage suddenly opened his eyes, there are red flames, like waves across the entire battlefield, tens of thousands of demons were all emptied in an instant, a whole demon army, just like this, all killed.
"I'm rubbing, this special effect, this promotional video, it's so cool!" All the audience was shocked by this Hollywood movie-level special effects promo, and it was at this time that the name of the game finally appeared in front of everyone "Diablo Hellfire"
