Chapter 353: The Great Dispute
"It's coming, the E3 opening ceremony is about to begin!"
Just when the major manufacturers rushed to the exhibition site to prepare for their own exhibition area.
In the major live broadcast rooms in China, it was already lively when it was time to get off work, waiting in front of the computer early.
Because it is a real-time broadcast, there is a time difference of about 12 hours between China and the exhibition area.
There is a queue at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the country is out of work at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, so it can be said that the time is just right.
But.
In the first half of the exhibition, there will be no games, but an opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony is different every year, inviting some well-known manufacturers to the stage to meet with everyone, or arrange some performances, as well as announce the next exhibition process and general content.
These are mainly for the convenience of news media from various countries, to prepare in advance, and by the way, to allow on-site players to participate in the exhibition more purposefully.
It can be said that the professionalism is far beyond the ordinary pheasant exhibition.
It is also one of the reasons why players attach so much importance to it and are willing to pay for tickets to participate.
"There are a lot of big factories this year!"
"There is also news about the IP sequels that have been silent for many years!"
"I'm looking forward to it, I don't know who will participate and what games will be announced."
"I'm looking forward to the content of the new technology exhibition, and it is said that this time I joined the virtual technology exhibition, and I also invited the flood to come over."
"Not only that, but they also have new web hosts released in the world, which is simply a fight between gods!"
This E3 exhibition is really special.
Not to mention the frequent release of new game masterpieces, it also comes with the latest virtual technology content, and the attention is directly full.
In addition, in line with the times, the previous restrictions on not being able to shoot live broadcasts have been lifted, which has attracted countless Internet media to pour in.
Many people didn't even eat dinner, and just went home and went back to the dormitory to squat in front of the computer and mobile phone.
The on-site players rushed to the venue and excitedly entered a giant inner hall that looked like a stage theater, which was the place where the opening ceremony was held.
When everything is ready, the clock strikes 8 o'clock.
Around the entire stage, large digital fireworks erupted.
The originally dark venue was also instantly illuminated by the large screen on the stage.
"It's coming! The opening ceremony has begun! ”
In an instant, the audience was in an uproar.
Countless pairs of eyes are glued to the screen, densely packed with screenshots of game covers and game company logos.
Many people even found the shadow of a well-known IP from it, setting off a tsunami-like discussion.
The news media in front of the stage and below the stage were even more frenzied, recording this extremely valuable scene.
After a while.
A magnetic voice rang out.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!"
"Welcome all of you from far and wide to our international electronic entertainment exhibition......"
A bald man with a thick beard holding a microphone walked up to the stage and delivered his opening speech.
The content is very simple, nothing more than the usual welcome and delight, followed by the history and development of E3, and the acknowledgement of some of the guests who participated in the exhibition.
The whole process lasted more than twenty minutes.
The host's words suddenly changed.
"Before the opening ceremony officially began, on behalf of the organizers, I would like to thank Huaguo Honghuang Studio for coming and giving us technical support, which is also the first technology we announced today, virtual reality!"
"People who didn't make it to the scene will be very upset that they can't attend such a big event."
"But it doesn't matter, the audience who is watching the live broadcast now can directly appear at the exhibition site through the Honghuang virtual platform in a virtual perspective and watch it immersively."
"Of course, only at the opening ceremony."
Wow –
The host's voice fell.
Regardless of the scene or the major live broadcast platforms, all of them set off an uproar.
When many people heard this, they immediately took out their virtual devices to log in to the platform, and sure enough, they saw a conspicuous link to the E3 venue on the homepage.
Just turn it on.
The whole perspective appeared on both sides of the venue, and the virtual image area was specially vacated.
"Wow! You really can! ”
"Is this and this, has virtual technology come to this point?"
"I came straight to the scene!"
"Cool! It's so cool! Finally, you can see it up close! ”
"The king bomb is directly at the beginning, and this time E3 is going to the sky!"
Although it is only a fixed perspective, there are many restrictions, so you can't move around at will.
But this immersive feeling still made countless people exclaim.
There is a kind of visual impact of people at home, lying down and watching the world, which makes players excited.
The media and players at the scene were also very surprised, looking at the devices that kept flashing on both sides, it turned out that they were used to connect to the virtual terminal.
So.
This opening ceremony is equivalent to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people watching, and the E3 organizers are really a good means.
At the beginning, they also joked that E3 was inflexible, and it had maintained an offline mode for so many years, and it was forbidden to shoot live broadcasts.
As a result, this year has changed dramatically.
Not only did it open online, but it also contacted Honghuang and opened a virtual port.
The leap is so big, I'm really not afraid of pulling directly to the egg, and the abalone becomes a scallop.
And this news also made the representatives of the big factories who were ready to compete in the virtual industry frown, but they didn't expect Hong Huang to give them a disadvantage so soon.
"We can't catch up with the realism and number of users for the time being, but we won't lose in terms of game quality."
"That's right, for this promotion, we have prepared so many masterpieces, enough to win a game!"
"Let's show them a demo of our machine first!"
For their own game masterpieces, several major manufacturers are still very confident, and they are all riveting one by one.
Soon.
The opening presentation is over.
Enter the demonstration of new games and the announcement of new technologies.
"Next, we have to ask the representatives of the giant hard to show us what they have brought."
The voice of the host sounded.
Two men dressed as programmers walked up to the stage, smiling and holding a helmet device with an Xbox logo printed on it, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"! Is it a huge virtual device? ”
"Did they really develop it?"
"Isn't this nonsense? The hardware level of giant hardware is the top in the world. ”
"I don't know how realistic it is, whether it will surpass the penguins."
As a local company, the strength is extremely strong, and it is understandable that Juqiang is the first to play.
But the virtual helmet they are holding in their hands is a little amazing.
And they still use the logo of their host, obviously they want to continue the glory of the host, and they are very ambitious to attract excessive traffic through the host's users.
"I believe everyone has seen that the helmet I am holding in my hand is our latest virtual device developed by Juqiang, the Xbox virtual generation."
As soon as the giant hard deputies came to power, they immediately spoke in general terms.
I spent 10 minutes explaining the birth process of my own virtual device, as well as various advantages and new features.
On the big screen, there is also a constant switch between carefully filmed and produced data patterns.
In short, it's a blow.
What refers to the most cutting-edge technology, the stability is far greater than before, and the streamlined design of the device body helps sleep, etc., which sounds quite bluffing.
"Next, I'm going to announce the realism of this virtual device."
Finally, after another seven or eight minutes of talking, the topic came to the content that everyone was most concerned about, which shocked the on-site players and the audience in the live broadcast room.
Swish!
Screen switching.
A big 35% appears on the top of the screen.
The audience was stunned at first, and then the audience was in an uproar.
“35%??”
"It's so high!"
"That's 15% higher than the penguins last year!"
"Is this the strength of the giant?"
"The strength of the world's top 50 is really not covered."
"It seems that this time the big hard is a bloody investment."
The 35% realism is indeed beyond many people's expectations.
Because last year the penguins only reached 20%.
In half a year, they expected to be at most 30%, but the result was 5% more!
I'm afraid it's been raised by the hardware level, and I don't know how much money has been invested, and it's really wealthy.
"35%......"
In the front row of the venue, Chen Lin looked at the data on the stage and looked surprised.
Lao Li next to him frowned: "It seems that they should invest money at any cost in order to improve so much at once." ”
He estimated the same as the audience.
The strength of the giant is stronger than that of penguins, about 30%.
Unexpectedly, it was even higher than he imagined.
There is really no other explanation than forcibly upgrading the hardware level.
"Pretty much."
Chen Lin nodded, and didn't worry too much: "The more the fidelity goes to the back, the more difficult it is to improve, the first 50% is not difficult to improve, but the difficult thing is the back 50." ”
With the huge horror background, regardless of the cost of investment in research and development, it is still possible to achieve this point.
In the previous life, it took them more than ten years to break through the technological blockade, because the technical foundation and hardware were already weak and did not develop.
But it's different here.
Ju Qiang already has the most cutting-edge technology and hardware foundation, and the breakthrough time will inevitably be shortened a lot, just slowly optimizing the details.
And their 70% is that the technology is fully mature, but the hardware limitations can reach such a high level.
Therefore, if you want to catch up, you have to improve the technology to a very high level.
"Let's keep watching and see what other manufacturers can bring us to surprise."
Chen Lin didn't speak again, and watched the speeches of the representatives on the stage seriously.
At this time.
They've already finished introducing their equipment.
One of them put on a helmet, lay on a recliner next to the stage, and went straight to try out their masterpiece with the launch of new equipment, Gears of War 5!
Yes.
As soon as Ju Gang came up, they took out one of the biggest IPs on their console side, the Gears of War series, and ported the virtual side and the PC side.
As soon as it was announced, the scene set off a cheer of excitement.
In the major live broadcast rooms, the barrage was surging, screaming again and again.
Because they really didn't expect that Ju Hard would pull out the sequel to this game, and they were really determined to get this virtual device release.
As a third-person shooter, Gears of War is a large-scale game, with beautiful graphics and plenty of exciting boss battles.
After transplanting to the virtual terminal, the visual impact is more superior, and it solves the fatigue and instability of Penguin after login, which has attracted countless fans at once.
Especially when the trial is over and the price is announced.
The audience cheered.
"Yes, our first-generation device, currently priced at $999!"
The giant hard representative stood in front of the stage and impassionedly switched to the price page of the equipment, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm in the field.
$999.
It is equivalent to about 7,000 pieces in China.
It is only 2,000 pieces taller than the penguin, but it can get a 15% increase in realism, which is enough to move many people.
And if you look closely, you will find that their pricing follows the benchmark of the flood famine.
70% off for 15000.
35% off for 7000.
It's almost half.
There is no premium that is too severe like that of graphics cards.
This is the result of the initial competition of capital, and the players have gained a lot of profits.
Afterwards.
The giant hard is over.
It was the turn of other big factories to come to power.
Some announced their new games, some announced game engines, and some launched virtual devices like Giant Hard.
For example, large manufacturers such as Soni, Rentiandi, UB, and EA have basically brought self-developed virtual equipment and escort masterpieces.
And their realism is amazing.
Although it is not as amazing as the giant hard, it has reached around 30%, and the price is lower than the other.
The escort masterpieces are also prepared, and several IP masterpieces have appeared, which dazzled everyone and cheered.
Under this hot atmosphere.
The host finally took the stage again.
"Next, I invite Honghuang Studio to come to the stage to introduce the products they brought!"
