The E3 Electronics Show in 1997 was a grand electronic entertainment exhibition that showcased the latest video games, game consoles, and related technologies at the time.

At the exhibition, many game manufacturers showcased their new works, attracting a large number of game enthusiasts and media attention.

In addition, some new gaming technologies were also unveiled at the fair, such as 3D display acceleration chips, which make the 3D images of computer games more realistic.

In addition, internet-based multiplayer online games are also starting to show strong momentum at the show, heralding the arrival of the era of online games.

The successful holding of the E3 Electronics Exhibition has promoted the rapid development of the game industry.

However, at the same time, the gaming industry is also facing some challenges, such as software piracy, violent tendencies of game content, etc.

These problems have attracted the attention and controversy of society, and promoted the game industry to constantly adjust and improve itself.

Overall, the E3 Electronics Show in 1997 was an important milestone that marked a new stage of development for the video game industry.

……

After the pre-show press conference, the players were still a little unsatisfied, and they felt that they had experienced a lot of things in the past few days, and the happiest time they could have seen in their lives was spent here.

"Wow, this E3 Electronics Show is really worth it, I didn't expect to see so many favorite game manufacturers, and I can also see so many shocking masterpieces."

"Yes, I've been following Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 for a long time before this, and I've been wishing I could be on North Rice sooner, and this time I finally got my wish.

The villains of Final Fantasy 7 are too charming, right?

When I saw Sephiroth's setting, I was stunned, and I couldn't connect him to the villain. ”

Among the current Final Fantasy 7, the most brilliant is still Sephiroth, mainly because it is set very well, there is a sense of both good and evil, plus the shape is gorgeous, and the appearance has a strong aura, so the popularity in the neon country is also very high.

Many players in the Omega region have been looking forward to its early entry into the Omega Market.

As for Tifa in the 3D area, since it is still the first generation of PS, the hardware support cannot be high-definition exquisite models, and Tifa's brilliance will not enter the player's field of vision until the arrival of the Holy Son.

Although Tifa is good-looking now, it's good-looking.,But it's also staying in the official and fan-jin comics.,The Tifa 3D model in the game is actually quite childish.,Can't be associated with the beautiful and sexy Tifa in the future.。

Everything is still left to time.

"My favorite game is NBA97, EA's model is already doing quite well, and I have a little urge to go up and shoot when I watch the demo."

"The most interesting thing, isn't it Lara from Tomb Raider 2?

Oh no, to be precise, it should be the most eye-catching, sexiest character, it should be Laura.

As soon as model Rhona Maitra appeared, it felt as if the whole scene was set on fire.

Those long legs, as well as the graceful posture, and the heroic posture displayed when holding the gun, are really unforgettable, and I still remember it vividly, as if it happened yesterday. ”

"Mm-hmm, E3's electronics show is really exciting. Game dealers have almost taken out everything they have pressed to the bottom of the box, right?

Although the model is definitely the best-looking Laura, Tomb Raider 2 is completely crushed by Pokeni in terms of technique and performance. ”

"Hahahaha, it's really miserable, I feel a cold sweat for the spokesperson of Tomb Raider 2 now."

"Who would have thought?

Before pokeni didn't appear, Tomb Raider 2 was indeed the most impressive game, whether it was the new 3D production method used in the game, the three-dimensional space puzzle, or Lara's cool action......

The ghostly figure of the model, these are enough to become the explosion point on the E3 this time.

Without Pokeni, I guess the headlines tomorrow would be the ones to be about Tomb Raider 2 and the sexy Laura.

Producer Tobi Gard himself didn't expect that a pokeni would be killed later. ”

"Originally, this time pokeni was the biggest variable on E3.,I haven't been here before.,But the game of the P club is a household name.,Whether it's the Diablo series.,Or the Pokémon series.,The witcher 2 This time the release is also described as an explosion.。

Many players know the name of pokeni, and they are dissatisfied because they haven't been able to see P company in the previous two electronics shows.

So when pokeni was invited to the E3 electronics show this time, everyone would have a little bit in their hearts.

After all, P has made so many excellent games.

However, what everyone doesn't know is what kind of game Pokeni will bring this time.

If it's compared to the game of P Society, it must be crushed into slag.

I don't think Toby himself thought that the new work that P Society actually withdrew from would be the border, right? ”

"And the most annoying thing is that Obviously Frontier is a shooter action type game, and Tomb Raider 2 is a puzzle action-adventure game, and the difference between the two is actually quite big, but it's because of the expressiveness problem, and it's also on sale on the PC side, so it's pulled out for comparison.

Hahaha, as soon as I think of the embarrassed and funny expression of the director Chetobi at that time, I can't stop laughing now. ”

"The biggest winner this time is definitely Pokeni, and at the same time, Nvidia is the winner."

"I'm afraid the biggest loser is the comparison between Tomb Raider 2 and Voodoo graphics cards, right? Anyway, after I see the effect, I will definitely give priority to buying NVIDIA's graphics card, anyway, I will have to update it in the future, of course, to buy a better performance. ”

In fact, this time it was used for comparison, and it was very different from the previous Kyoto Animation release Onmyoji was used to compare it with Sunrise Animation's "Hatsuzakura Senji".

When the two animations were released at the same time, the fame of Sunrise Animation was obviously greater than that of Kyoto Animation, but "Onmyoji" gained popularity by being compared, and at the same time laid the fame and foundation of Kyoto Animation.

In fact, there is a premise for this, and the premise is that-

The side that is being used as a comparison cannot be too far apart, and it cannot be one or the other.

Viewers can watch both animations, and just record one of them.

Kyoto Animation also gained fame by rubbing the sunrise animation, because the effect of "Onmyoji" was better than everyone expected.

And this time, although Tomb Raider 2 is also used to compare with the border, both are from famous companies, in terms of overall sales and influence, Pokeni's is more powerful, and the topic is definitely hot.

And Tomb Raider 2 should also achieve good results in terms of sales.

However, judging from the expressiveness of the scene, the border completely crushed Tomb Raider 2, which will definitely have a certain impact.

It's just that this effect will be reflected in the graphics card.

This time at the E3 electronics exhibition, the pre-exhibition press conference conveyed two very important messages to the players——

First, Pokeni's technology is really good, and it deserves to be the top game producer in the industry in terms of technology and performance.

Second, the graphics card used at the border is very good, this small Nvidia company, I have never heard of it before, can actually make such an excellent graphics card.

In terms of the first effect, in terms of graphics card selection, everyone must be inclined to buy NVIDIA's GeForce256.

This is the standard either-or, only one graphics card will exist in a console.

Since they are all going to be replaced, why not just buy this one with better performance in one step?

……

Voodoo became the biggest loser, Tomb Raider 2 producer Toby was slapped in the face on the spot, and in addition to these two victims, Shigeru Miyamoto of Rentendo was also photographed in the news and magazines.

Players all laughed when they saw the corresponding report.

"This E3 electronics exhibition is really exciting, I didn't expect pokeni to slap so many people in the face through a short lecture of less than an hour."

"Hahaha, Boss Qing Zhiyuan has offended a lot of people this time, right? Although it is said that they are all passively offended, so many game companies on the scene must hate Pokeni to the core.

Who made you make a game so good?

You're so powerful, why don't you go to heaven?

Hahahaha. ”

"It's miserable, you didn't see the expression of the director Shigeru Miyamoto at the time, if you say that Tomb Raider 2 and the border are compared to a bit inappropriate, after all, they are two different types of games, and the tracks are not the same, but they are put together because of the performance of the graphics card.

Then when Shigeru Miyamoto was cut and broadcast, he was really slapped in the face.

Ren Heaven had Mario Kart before, and now Pokeni has also made a Pokémon Kart out.

A comparison shows that the game of P Society is well and beautifully done, basically completely crushing the current Super Mario Kart. ”

"No wonder Shigeru Miyamoto's face is so ugly, when I didn't watch the specific news, I thought he was sick, hahaha."

"Aren't you sick? At this time, the high-level people of Ren Heaven are probably suffering from Pokein syndrome, right? ”

……

Although Nvidia did not participate in the E3 electronics show this time, or it was only used as an appendage, to highlight and show the game of pokeni.

However, Huang became the biggest winner of this year's electronics show.

After the presentation of P Agency's "Border",

Various media outlets have covered it overwhelmingly, and the game effects of the frontier have been compared to Tomb Raider 2 in all aspects.

[Amazing comparison: Nvidia GeForce256 completely crushes 3DFX voodoo graphics card]

[GeForce Comes Out: Will It Open a New Era of 3D PC Gaming?] 】

[The future of PC games looks at 3D, and the future of 3D games looks at graphics cards: NVIDIA GeForce is unbeatable! 】

[Founder of the Times: NVIDIA]

[See how NVIDIA is changing the times with GPUs and becoming the king of gaming hardware in the future!] 】

[Frontier + NVIDIA GPU = God]

One is the use of NVIDIA's GeForce256 graphics card, while the other is the use of voodoo graphics cards, one is a real independent computing graphics card, and the other is to support and render the 3D effect by adding 3D units.

In terms of the underlying technology and the performance tension on the surface, there is a clear gap between the two different graphics cards.

So the media hyped it up, making Nvidia suddenly a leader in the field of graphics cards.

Before this, Nvidia was still a small company with little reputation, but after this battle, Nvidia completely made a name.

Huang was smiling from ear to ear, and on the first day after the border showcase, many dealers called and asked to order Nvidia's GeForce 256 graphics cards.

The number of orders has more than doubled.

NVIDIA, which was still in a loss-making state, suddenly felt that it had a bright future.

And for all of this, Huang has to thank Qing Zhiyuan.

The president of Pokeni is so powerful that he not only directly told him about the new graphics card design ideas, but also directly injected 100 million US dollars, so that they can carry out graphics card development and production without worries.

It turned out to be worth it.

And everything seems to be under Qing Zhiyuan's control, developing and moving forward according to the trajectory he envisioned.

Huang Jenxun realized it later, and was shocked into a cold sweat, if he hadn't agreed to Qing Zhiyuan's request back then-

So when Qingzhiyuan was going to turn its goals and investments to 3DFX.

If this happens, it will be 3DFX that shines at the E3 Electronics Show this time and achieves 3D graphics success.

And Nvidia is afraid that it will be wiped out from now on.

The thought of this sent chills down Huang's spine.

Qing Zhiyuan is a god!

……

Due to the large number of game manufacturers participating this time, the pre-show press conference was held for a total of 4 days.

There is a lot of news every day, not only in the Omi region, but also a lot of news back to the neon country.

Among them, the most interesting and fastest message is not the so-called traditional print media, but from the official website of P-NET.

This time, pokeni not only participated in E3 with the game, but also played with the orchestra, and not only that, but the reporter from the P-net website also rushed to the scene and sent the news back as soon as possible.

This fully reflects the advantages of the Internet, and the corresponding news has already been published on the P-net news portal when others are writing and printing.

During the four days of pre-show press conference, P-NET delivered messages almost exclusively in the form of text broadcasts.

At the same time, after the corresponding digital photos were sent back the next day, they were immediately sorted out into a special topic and put on the official website, with first-class speed and high efficiency.

Therefore, although many people are far away in neon, they can still learn about the grand occasion of the scene in the first time.

In particular, pokeni's performance at the E3 electronics exhibition this time was simply out of the limelight.

Everyone doesn't want to use [preaching] to describe it, but the careful preparation of P Society, coupled with the foil of peers, makes this E3 electronics exhibition like a personal show held in order to promote pokeni.

P Agency's "Border" joined hands with NVIDIA's latest GeForce256, which was unbeatable and overwhelming, and became the most eye-catching focus at the electronics show.

"Hahahaha, it turns out that Pokeni is so good at fighting? Not only is it very powerful at home, but also so powerful abroad? ”

"Isn't that right? Pokeni's current technology should be regarded as the world's first, as can be seen from this pre-exhibition conference.

There was no one on the scene who could fight. ”

"If you take out the pokeni, there are actually a lot of good games, but after putting pokeni in it, it always feels like the other games are overshadowed a lot."

"I remember last year at the Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 was somewhat on par with Pokeni's The Witcher 2, and even though it wasn't quite as good as Princess Mononoke.

Why doesn't the same game feel so outstanding when it is put into E3 this year? ”

"Because the technical level of other game manufacturers has also caught up, right? But pokeni is still the most perverted.,Directly raised the height of 3D games.,Now I don't feel like I dare to think about next year's P society to make any effect of the game.。 ”

"I don't know what the effect is, I just know that Frontier is a game I can't afford to play."

"Hahahaha, yes, for "Border" to buy a computer and have to configure Nvidia's graphics card, it hurts to think about it."

……

In '97, home computers weren't cheap.

If you want to play Frontier, you may need to purchase a qualified computer, which will cost you more than 1 million yen.

As for laptops, don't think you can take the border game.

And many Neon players don't actually have the habit of buying computers, they prefer to play games on consoles and handhelds.

The neon computer market is not yet fully developed, and it is not easy to make the border successful in neon soil.

What's more, the basis of this game is shooting, gunplay, in fact, it has a high confrontation, in terms of genre is not neon players like, they prefer games that can spend their brains and time, and can get a pleasant experience from it.

It's not that the neon players can't operate, it's just that they are naturally not very keen on firearm shooting, in fact, it has something to do with culture and soil.

If you haven't been nurtured, it's hard to make achievements.

And if you want to cultivate the corresponding market, the border can only become cannon fodder.

If you think about it, there are two important conditions for the border to succeed in neon -

First, the number of computer users must be large enough, otherwise it will not sell, especially the LAN battle feature in the game, which not only requires multiple players to play at the same time, but also needs to have an online network.

Second, the number of target users must be large enough, and the user group that likes shooting games must reach a certain scale or more to be able to sell well.

It is clear that the current neon market is not mature enough, at least in the FPS market.

However, Qing Zhiyuan did not intend to make "Border" mainstream in the neon market from the beginning.

That's why I chose to let the Mi country subsidiary contract the production of this game, and the main battlefield must be on the side of Omi.

……

Not only did pokeni win attention at the E3 Electronics Show, but Frontier was voted the most promising new game, the most anticipated new game, and the most expressive effect......

A whole bunch of awards.

At the same time, off-site, P-NET, as a subsidiary of pokeni, has rapidly expanded its influence with efficient, fast and direct communication, becoming the number one news website for Neon to obtain consultation in China, and it is also the largest portal of Neon.

The fame was immediately famous.

It can be said that Pokeni not only won on the field, but also won off the field.

Win-win!

No, plus Nvidia is also the target of pokeni's key shares, Nvidia has gained a great reputation in this E3 electronics exhibition, and the outside world has also listed it as one of the best contemporary graphics cards with the highest cost performance and worth buying.

Nvidia also won.

Nvidia wins the graphics card, which means that Pokeni also wins.

Win-win.
