……

From October to November, Pokeni was working hard to prepare for the upcoming launch of the new game, Dragon Hunt.

Yes, go live and not just list.

This time, although Pokeni is releasing "Dragon Quest" globally, the release and promotional content in the Omi region and other regions are significantly different.

In the Omi region, Pokeni focuses on a new online mode:

For players with an internet connection, you can buy a POKENI game without a physical disc, you can buy it online through the top-up function, and then use the activation code to download the game, whether it is on a computer or a DC console.

The official slogan given by "Dragon Quest" is: a game that can be played without a game disc.

Moreover, the Dragon Quest is an alternative exclusive model, which is different from the traditional exclusive game console platform, and the officially advertised Dragon Quest will be Pokeni's exclusive game on the Dandelion game platform.

It is also exclusive to the game platform, but this game platform is a virtual platform.

It's completely different from what everyone thinks.

So when the official news of Pokeni was announced, the rest of the place was actually fine, because there was no change from the previous release model, but on the Omi side, countless players were a little confused when they saw [Web Download] at first glance.

"Online download? Dandelion gaming platform exclusive? Can this also be called an exclusive mode? ”

"It's really hell, this thing is quite fresh, Qing Zhiyuan is a person who can invent proper nouns, and he has redefined this thing exclusively."

"Hahahaha, this is probably the funniest exclusive I've ever heard. Generally speaking, doesn't exclusive mean that you can only play on this platform, and you can't play anywhere else?

But "Dragon Quest" I see supports PC and DC game consoles, no matter how you look at it, it's a dual platform, right?

You can't say that I got a dandelion game platform, and I ended up selling it on Sony PS and Sega DC and it's called exclusive, right? ”

"It's really funny, but didn't you notice that once you get into the discussion, you fall into the trap of Qing Zhiyuan.

It doesn't matter if it's exclusive or not, the important thing is that you start talking about it, and if you bring the heat up, Pokeni has already won. ”

"Yes, after all, people are companies that make and sell games, and after they have popularity and popularity, they will naturally expand their influence, and more gamers will come to play when the time comes.

So isn't it a big deal to have an exclusivity, right? ”

"From the perspective of hardware platform attributes,It's actually no problem to say it's exclusive.,After all, there's no exact manufacturer on the computer side that is monopolized.,But game consoles are different.,Sony's can't play the game of Ren Heaven.,It's only sold in Sony PS, which is called exclusive.。

Rentendo's game console can't play Pokeni's games, and it's only sold in Rentendo, which is also called exclusive. ”

"If you look at the game console, it doesn't seem to be wrong to say it's exclusive."

"And why is the exclusive monopoly of the dandelion platform not an exclusivity? I don't think there's a problem.

If you think about it, this is equivalent to whether you use windows or DOS or OS, what operating system do you use, and if you are incompatible with each other, isn't it exclusive? ”

"It seems to make some sense."

"It doesn't matter, I think exclusivity is just a gimmick, the key is to have a new game to play.

Shouldn't the most important thing to pay attention to this time be the fact that Pokeni's new game can be downloaded through the Internet?

A few months ago, it felt like a fantasy, but it was already going to be launched now. ”

"Pokeni, this is real. I used to see them say at the E3 Electronics Show that the game from the P company can be downloaded and played directly on the Internet.,I thought it was bragging.,I didn't expect it to be realized so quickly? ”

"That's right, a few months ago, I was still blowing about digitalization, no matter how I look at it, it will take a year or two to be realized, and I didn't expect pokeni to come prepared."

"It's all said, P Club is real, and it's different from a game developer like Sony.

Sony's announcement of digitalization is something to do in the next few years.

When Pokeni announced its digitalization, it was probably already ready. ”

"Hahahaha, that's really the case, P Society is really terrifying."

……

This is probably the manufacturing speed of P Company.

Not only the players sighed, but even the people in the industry were shocked.

Nobuyuki Idei said, I said that digitalization is a strategic idea, to be realized step by step, Qingzhiyuan, you can do well, directly realize my PPT content, right?

Everyone thought this thing was a braggart, drawing flatbread, but I didn't expect Pokeni's flatbread to really taste.

This can't help but make many game companies break their defenses, and at the same time, it also makes the world feel the technology of Pokeni.

"It's terrible, I said that before the E3 electronics exhibition, Qing Zhiyuan said that digitalization is so wrong, people will directly open a digital press conference, this is not over, after the press conference, digital directly online, do you dare to believe it?"

"There are many people in the world who brag about it, but there are not many people who can achieve it.

It is rare for a bull to brag about it and achieve it by itself. But at least some.

But in such a short period of time, what can be achieved with just bragging bulls, I only serve Qing Zhiyuan alone. ”

"Others brag about it first, and then they talk about it, regardless of what happens to him in the future.

Some people brag on the road of planning, and Qing Zhiyuan should not be classified in the bragging classification.

Only what cannot be achieved for the time being is called bragging, and what has been achieved is called telling the truth! ”

"Players must love Qingzhiyuan to death, and the speed of Pokeni's technology update and iteration is too terrifying, and some new tricks can come out every year.

The key is not the kind of petty fights, what people make can set off monstrous waves.

At first glance, it seems that digitalization has nothing to do with neon, but I always think that it will become a major trend in the development of games around the world in the future. ”

"With Pokeni here, who will dare to brag in the future."

……

Qingzhiyuan said when he saw the relevant comments, how can the exclusive virtual game platform not be exclusive??

That's just because these ignorant humans don't know the horror of virtual gaming platforms.

Steam game platform exclusive, what's the problem?

What's wrong with the Tangerine gaming platform exclusivity?

Do you have to be stuck with whether it's a certain game console series?

It's time to teach the gamers of this world a lesson.

However, before Qing Zhiyuan was about to teach everyone a lesson, Akanishi Ken found him with a sad face.

The Dandelion game platform has now been tested, all functions have been implemented, and the bug convergence is quite ideal, and it can reach the release level.

The only thing that made Akanishi feel a little headache was, "President, I feel that with the current network speed, downloading a large game like "Dragon Quest" is still a bit choking. ”

The test data sent back from Pokeni Mi Guo shows that the current network of Mi country, if you download the Dragon Hunt Tour, the download speed can be about 20 to 50k.

Yes, that's right, although the network speed in the United States was 3 Mbps downlink and 768 kbps uplink during the year.

It may seem like it's much higher than the actual value of the pokeni run, but that's how it turned out.

Because it is necessary to consider that a network may be used by multiple users at the same time, and some comprehensive situations will occur during the network transmission process.

It can achieve a download speed of about 50k, which is actually very good.

There are more than 800 trillion games that can be found in the dragon journey, which embodies Pokeni's hard work in the past two years, and any frame of the picture is reluctant to be deleted.

And this is a game made by Pokeni, a company that has the world's top game development engine, and other companies dare not think of it.

It takes about 16 hours to download a game with more than 800 megabytes at a speed of 50k.

This user experience can be said to be quite bad.

It doesn't play a positive role at all, and people will be more inclined to buy physical discs of the game, so the digitization of Pokeni will probably be regarded as a joke and an experiment.

Including Ken Akanishi himself thinks so.

The president's concept is good, but it is too advanced, and with the current development of the Internet, it may take another five years or so to reach the level that Qing Zhiyuan wants, that is, to download a game like "Dragon Quest" in a few hours.

After listening to the report, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning.

"Do you have a compressed package size?"

Ken Akanishi nodded, "After compression, it can probably be controlled at about 500M." ”

500M, but it's still too big.

It takes about 10 hours to download.

And it has to be a relatively smooth network.

"What's even more frightening is that we went through a server stress test and found that if multiple players request a download from the server at the same time, the download speed will be significantly slower.

We've added more servers to handle that. ”

It's a natural and simple truth:

All players download the game, which is equivalent to queuing up to pick up goods from Pokeni's server, that is, one by one warehouse, but the road to pick up goods has a certain width, and when the players come to pull more cars, the traffic will naturally be congested.

Then the logistics speed will also be slower, which is the download rate slowdown caused by the server side.

There are similar problems in the future.

Just like the current Internet users browsing Pokeni's website, the number of visitors is too large, the server pressure is great, and the server pressure is large, and it will naturally get stuck.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but clasp his hands and felt a little uncomfortable.

This situation is actually the inevitable development of history, Qing Zhiyuan has also seen the history of network development in this era in books, dial-up network period, the speed of transmission is calculated in bits, and then to the ADSL period, although the theoretical value has reached the M level, but the practical application is basically unable to achieve this theoretical value.

It will even be much lower.

How do intelligent humans do it at such times?

Qing Zhiyuan suddenly thought of a god, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Looks like we're going to have to get some strong medicine.

Seeing the smile on Qing Zhiyuan's face, Chi Xijian couldn't help but tremble all over, and his body stiffened.

The president's meaningful smile was all too familiar to him, which probably showed that Qing Zhiyuan had already thought of a solution, and there was always something unfriendly to the program ape that would happen.

Qing Zhiyuan snapped his fingers, "P2P technology." ”

"Huh?" Akanishi Ken was slightly stunned.

Qing Zhiyuan immediately found a whiteboard and came over to explain to him.

P2P technology, which was still a laboratory product in 99 years, has not been popularized, but the theory of this technology has been born for more than ten years and almost 20 years.

"P2P technology, in simple terms, is peer-to-peer technology.

However, what we want to do is a little different from the previous server-client transport protocol in that -

From now on, we're going to turn every player's machine into the server itself. ”

"Huh?"

Qing Zhiyuan drew a lot of squares to identify the player's machine, whether it was a DC game console or a PC.

"Each of these machines is a point in the transport network.

Then, players download our games without having to download each one of them from our servers.

Instead, it takes the principle of proximity and speed, and downloads from the nearest game console with the best transfer speed.

This console can be a player machine that already owns the game "Dragon Quest".

You know what I mean, right?

Every machine can be both a client and a server. ”

it!

It was the first time for Ken Akanishi to hear such an unbelievable plan, and he was so surprised that his jaw was about to drop.

However, although it sounded strange at first, he immediately understood the changes brought about by this technical solution:

In the past, players had to download the game from the many servers provided by P Company, but now it means that each player who downloads the game is one of the warehouses themselves, so you don't have to queue up to pokeni's server

Network speed is limited by physical influences, and in the real world, transmission distance is one of the important factors:

Your transfer speed from Tokyo to New York will definitely be much slower than the speed of transferring from Tianjin to the imperial capital of China.

However, under the P2P solution given by Qingzhiyuan, players can build a small transmission network by themselves.

And when the number of downloads increases, the corresponding download speed will be faster, because there are more [sources].

"This ...... I feel like I can give it a try. ”

The P2P protocol is not difficult, and the related retrieval technology pokeni itself is available, and they are the first network companies to do information retrieval, so it can be said that it is quite silky to do.

The first person to invent the P2P software Napster was a first-year student at the University of Pennsylvania, and it didn't take him much time.

Therefore, Qing Zhiyuan has reason to believe that Akanishi Ken and they should be able to complete the task quickly.

Recalling P2P technology, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing.

During his college years, there were several very popular P2P download software, the most famous of which was called Vagaa, and as soon as he used this seeding, he took over the entire dorm network alone.

The speed is quite fast, which can almost occupy the downlink speed of the network at that time.

And then later the eMule.

After that, there is the Internet Express, and finally there is Thunderbolt.

Compared with these big brothers in front of him, Xunlei was a scumbag at that time.

The speed of the Internet Express once stood alone, and this software was done by one person, if it weren't for the fact that the developer was later addicted to World of Warcraft and abandoned the software update, there would basically be no Thunderbolt behind.

From this point of view, games are really harmful.

Hahahaha.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of this.

Ken Akanishi only felt his scalp tingle, and after asking about the details, he quickly left the president's office after making sure that there was no problem.

After coming out, Akanishi Ken silently pinched a cold sweat.

I just felt like my back was soaked.

The president is really terrible.

Being able to solve problems in a short period of time makes him feel like an inexhaustible treasure trove of knowledge, and Akanishi Ken may not be able to come up with a P2P model that treats every player machine as a transmission node.

But the president understated it, as if it was at his fingertips.

What a!
