Before pokeni appeared, Konami used the newly developed game "Silent Hill" to let the audience feel the power of the DC game console and the charm of real-time rendering of light and shadow.

Although the current level of real-time rendering is still far from 2023 in the previous life, it is like a huge gap between a child who is less than 110 cm tall and Yao Ming in the process of growing up, but it is already very advanced in this era.

Moreover, Silent Hill creates a terrifying atmosphere by lowering the light effect, and at the same time covers up the shortcomings of some of its own model refinements, and the effect presented is several notches higher.

As soon as this game came out, the audience was scared on the spot, and it also showed that the game has indeed achieved the ultimate in the same era in terms of graphic performance.

……

The first day of the pre-show conference can be said to be Sony's home stadium, although there is a small episode such as Konami's Silent Hill at the end, but in general, it is still dominated by Sony games.

In addition to the PS2 promotion, other game manufacturers have also announced that they will be released on PS or have already released games that are still relatively new.

Even Konami has released a new work of Metal Gear Solid, developed on the PlayStation console, "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty"

It is expected to be released to you in the first half of next year, and it is also a game that players can look forward to.

The main reason is that the reputation of the previous work is really good, and the Hidden Dragon Gear Solid series is also an old IP game of Konami, almost the same as Mario to Rentian.

Konami looks like it's a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, not only does it have new games on Sega DC, but it doesn't seem to be letting go on on PS.

The main thing is that the rain and dew are evenly wet, and they don't put their eggs in one basket, anyway, they make games on every console platform, which is the most correct choice for these third-party game providers.

What was the outcome of the final console war?

……

If the first day was Sony's home stadium, then the second day was Renten's home stadium.

At least that's what it looks like from the morning presentation.

As soon as Ren Tian came up the next day, he released the concept design of the new console.

Yes, although it's hard to believe, it's actually a concept design, and there's not even a physical object, but Sony blew PS2 out of thin air before, and now the operation of Ren Heaven doesn't seem to be so unacceptable.

Nintendo's 128-bit development plans have surfaced.

Howard Lincoln announced to the public during their pre-E3 show speech that they had a new console spec codenamed "Dolphin",

The "Dolphin" will be developed by Nintendo in collaboration with Panasonic and will use IBM's 0.18-micron 400MHz "Gecko" CPU and will use DVD media.

When Nintendo announced that the console would no longer use cassette media, it caused a round of cheers from the audience.

"What?! Did I hear me right? Is Ren Heaven actually going to give up the cassette mode? Switching directly to DVD? Is this still the same paradise I know? ”

"This time, President Yamauchi feels like he's changed his sex, why did he suddenly open up?"

"Seriously, I've always thought that game discs are the mainstream, and Ren Tian was too stubborn before, and he didn't know how to be flexible, and now he has to lag behind a lot before he remembers.

However, it's not too late to make amends, and the thought of a new console that will feature DVDs in the future is exciting. ”

Yamauchi refused to give up the cassette no matter what, in fact, there is a very important reason -

Forming barriers.

The cartridge has a fast read speed and can be plug-and-play, which is very important for consoles that need to load games quickly.

Compared to discs, which need to read data to the hard disk before running, cartridges can launch games faster.

Nintendo has always focused on providing a unique gaming experience, and as a part of Nintendo's game culture, cartridges also carry the feelings and memories of some players.

Abandoning the cartridge may make some players unhappy or lose interest in Nintendo products.

Although it is also a continuation of habits, the players of Ren Heaven came from the cassette mode, and they do not give up the cassette on the one hand to take care of the feelings of the players, on the other hand, the cartridge specifications developed by Ren Tian are only suitable for their own game consoles, which reduces the possibility of piracy.

And after the formation of technical barriers, it is equivalent to blocking other game console developers out, and it is definitely impossible for you to be compatible with the console of Renten.

In addition, from a business point of view, Nintendo also needs to consider its own interests.

As a medium for Nintendo to control the production rights, the cassette can ensure the quality and number of games released without being affected by other manufacturers.

At the same time, the cartridge can also be used as a unique identifier for Nintendo's games, distinguishing them from games from other manufacturers.

……

In the past, when the Rentendo family was dominant, this model could still work, but now it is different from the past, and in the case of Sony's PS full dominance, Rentendo's cassette strategy has become a negative effect.

It turned out to be a moat, which could prevent enemy invasion and also reduce player attrition.

But now this moat and barrier has blocked those players who want to flow in from the outside, making them throw themselves into the arms of Sony.

In terms of capacity alone, the current cassette capacity is far from being the match of DVD, and this situation will continue until the birth of the next industrial pearl, which is the so-called high-end chip manufacturing process:

It can be used in the form of cassette to store large capacity through the chip, and it also requires plug and play, which is equivalent to a small U disk, which is not generally difficult.

However, the cost has also piled up, and a disc burning may cost a few dollars, or even a few cents, but a chip cartridge with a large capacity may cost much more.

……

Others don't know the name of the game console, but Qing Zhiyuan is Men'erqing.

This game console, codenamed Dolphin, is the very famous NGC console in the history of Rentendo and is also the fourth generation console.

NGC, THE ABBREVIATION OF NINTENDO GAMECUBE TRANSLATES QUITE BLUNTLY, AND IT CAN BE CALLED A NONTENDO GAME CUBE.

Because it finally presented the appearance of a small box, the shape is definitely very creative, directly reducing the game console that everyone is familiar with to almost the size of a CD player.

In other words, it's not much bigger than a disc.

Ren Heaven introduced the dolphin game machine in the form of PPT and concept machine, and then continued to focus on the N64.

Among the N64 games on display are several titles that correspond to console memory expansion packs, including Star Wars Prequel Racing, which has a $10 million promotional budget, and Perfect Darkness, which uses expansion packs to enhance previous work.

In addition, "Donkey Kong 64" was finally announced for the first time.

Some of the other games on display include Mario Golf, Eternal Darkness, and more.

This year's E3 exhibition is generally a preview of a new round of console wars, and it also makes players more excited.

When I think of the console war that Sony, Pokeni, and Rentendo will start in the future, players can't help but be extremely excited.

"If you look at it this way, the host of Ren Heaven is not bad."

"It's really strange, have you noticed, why is the E3 electronics show now becoming an empty propaganda mode, Sony and Ren Heaven are really excessive, directly take the PPT out to show.

The game console doesn't even have a physical object at all, so it dares to blow it here. ”

"Hahahaha, it can only be said that Sony has made a very bad start, and now the game console developers have learned to be smart, since the pictures and parameters can make players look forward to it, so why wait until the trial machine is finished before taking it out?"

"Uh-huh, this is probably a new mode of publicity and warm-up, right?"

Qing Zhiyuan said that the world is played with like this.

The main thing is that our DC game console has already been made, otherwise, Qing Zhiyuan also wants to have a wave of concept promotion first, and then go to the rehearsal of the trial machine, and also to extend this time process a little more to maintain the heat and topicality.

Even if you do two or three demos, it seems feasible to manage the expectations of the players.

……

But it seems to be a bit of a psychological obstacle by the PPT mode.,Some players have a rebellious mentality.,I think that although Sony and Ren Heaven are blowing well.,But no one knows how it is.。

"On the contrary, I think pokeni is more unpretentious, people really have it, and they can really show it, but I am more relieved and believe in them."

"That's it, Sega is the same as Pokeni is too honest to lose, I feel like a very honest child, I say 90 points when I get 90 points, but what about Sony, maybe I have the strength to get a full score, but he said that he got a full score but didn't show you the test papers, and he was a little bit unsure, and he didn't know whether to praise this kid or spank him.

Ren Heaven.,It's like an excellent kid from the house next door.,I've always been a sincere child like Pokeni before.,Now I see that Sony's kid can actually say that he got a full score and fooled the past.。

Then it simply hid the 80-point test paper and shouted that it got a full score.

Tell me, if you were a teacher, which student would you prefer? ”

"Hahahaha, this is too vivid, isn't it? But can't the teacher see the test papers and the real results at a glance?

I feel like we're more like parents.

However, as far as the treatment of children is concerned, I hope they will be honest with themselves like pokeni and heart-to-heart with their old parents.

However, I hope that the children will be able to eat well in the society. ”

"That's not good, where are we parents, we are the ones who need to be served in society, and as a guest, we definitely prefer pokeni.

Of course, if Sony can do what it says, there doesn't seem to be anything unacceptable. ”

……

In the afternoon, Toby Garde came up to promote the new work of Tomb Raider-

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation

From this generation, the Tomb Raider series has abandoned the "Tomb Raider X" approach of the past, and this game is not called Tomb Raider IV, but Tomb Raider: The Last Apocalypse.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Last Apocalypse was a great performance on the spot, and because it was released on Sega DC and was made using the most advanced Trailblazer engine, it made a huge leap forward in terms of graphics and 3D rendering.

The company is a model worker, developing at a rate of one Tomb Raider a year, and they know how to adapt to the times, and they do what technology is more advanced and what platforms make the game more valuable.

So the Tomb Raider series is also a visible growth, from the mosaic game two years ago, to the building block man, then to the thick lines, and then to Laura, who now has a certain real feeling, the heroine who is loved by many players is also rapidly becoming more beautiful and clear.

It's a game that returns to the origins of Tomb Raider adventures, with Lara traveling through Egypt tracking down the unleashed demon Seth.

The live demo combined an intense action experience with a rich and interesting puzzle solving experience, allowing players to feast their eyes and further appreciate the power of the Sega DC console.

In addition, after the game demo, Toby Gard announced that the game would be made into a movie for the big screen in 2001.

Hearing the news, the audience at the scene was boiling.

Only a casual smile appeared on Qing Zhiyuan's face in the audience.

Without Angelina Jolie, who will star in the "Tomb Raider" series?

He expressed curiosity about this.

You must know that the reason why Tomb Raider was so popular in the previous life was that in addition to the game itself doing quite well, there was also a very important point that a lot of points were added to the film and television promotion.

After Angelina Jolie was brought to fire by Tomb Raider, she also spread the series to the world.

Even many people who have not necessarily played the game, but they must know the image of Laura holding two guns, and this is the promotional value brought by the success of the movie.

In this life, I don't know if they can be so lucky to meet an actress who can interpret Laura perfectly and shine at the same time.

……

Toby Gard was quite satisfied with the reaction of the media reporters and the audience at the scene, and seemed to enjoy it a little-

Oh, it turns out that Qing Zhiyuan felt this way a few years ago.

It's really exciting to be in the limelight and get appreciated at the same time.

After the introduction, Toby Gad smiled and waved his hand, and then packed up his things and prepared to leave the stage.

"I'm also looking forward to what the live-action version of Laura will look like, I believe it must be a cool and hot girl."

The host smiled and said, "Well, next, please pokeni!" ”

was still passionate, waiting to enjoy the enthusiastic applause of the audience, but when he saw the next guy to appear, Toby couldn't help frowning.

Damn it......

How am I in front of pokeni again?

Toby glanced into the distance.

Yes, who is slowly walking onto the stage under the spotlight, isn't it the particularly annoying looking Qing Zhiyuan, who else can be?

"See you again." Qing Zhiyuan smiled and beckoned.

The audience instantly boiled.

Countless players have said that they have been waiting for Pokeni for too long.

The whole family was infected with the flu, and I suspect that it may have been contracted by a large number of people during my brother-in-law's wedding.

Recently, there has been a high incidence of influenza, and everyone should still wear a mask when going out.

The body is the most important thing!

There is no update tonight

Thank you
