Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 274 178. If there is a God, then He has already arrived

April 27, 1995.

NVIDIA Corporation.

On this day, CEO Huang Renxun received an uninvited guest.

It can’t be said to be an uninvited guest, because this neon man had already made a reservation a month ago——

Qing Zhiyuan, the president of pokeni Co., Ltd.

Huang Renxun himself was actually a little surprised when he made the appointment so early in advance, and the company was much more famous than he realized.

Today, NVIDIA is still an unknown small company. It has been established for less than two years, and the company does not even have a mature product that can be sold.

Under such circumstances, President Qing Zhiyuan actually traveled thousands of miles to find him.

Based on Nvidia's current operating conditions, even if no appointment is made, President Qing can come to his door without any hindrance.

So even before they met, Huang Renxun actually had a good impression of the president of the island country.

At least it can be seen from this incident that Qing Zhiyuan is a person who pays great attention to details.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, President Qing Zhiyuan arrived as scheduled.

When he saw Qing Zhiyuan in person, Huang Renxun was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this well-known gaming company president in Neon would be so young.

Qing Zhiyuan is a thin young man.

The skin is very white, the eyebrows are sharp and the eyes are starry, the appearance is dignified, and the temperament is quite in line with Huang Renxun's imagination, but there is a slight age difference.

Pokeni is even more famous in the United States than in Neon itself, especially Diablo and Pokémon. These two series of games are very popular in the United States and are followed by countless children.

Huang Renxun himself is a person who likes games very much.

The reason why he founded NVIDIA was because he and two other partners believed that the gaming industry would become a very promising outlet in the future, and although PCs were temporarily lagging behind the video game industry, they believed that with the development of PC hardware in the future, they would eventually It will be a powerful gaming machine.

The company's name is taken from the Latin word vision.

So the original intention of Nvidia was to manufacture graphics chips for the video game industry.

They believe that one day PC will become a consumer-grade device for enjoying games and multimedia.

Huang Renxun was even more excited than Qing Zhiyuan when he saw Qing Zhiyuan.

After all, I finally met the boss of my favorite game developer, and this person took the initiative to cross the ocean to find him.

…

The young President Qing was accompanied by a pretty little secretary. The little secretary was dragging a suitcase in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.

When Huang Renxun was looking at himself, Qing Zhiyuan was also looking at him.

The 32-year-old Huang has a good figure. I don't know if he is born like this or has practiced, but he is a bit handsome.

Just like the older Huang in his impression, he was wearing a black leather coat.

Qing Zhiyuan has seen this leather jacket many times, as if the leather jacket is Huang Renxun's true body.

"Hello, President Qing Zhiyuan."

Huang Renxun greeted him enthusiastically in English, "Nice to meet you."

"Hello, hello. Nice to meet you too."

…

After learning that Qing Zhiyuan was half Chinese, the two of them even tried to speak a few words in Chinese.

Although Jen-Hsun Huang is Chinese, he left China's treasured island and came to live in the United States when he was very young. Therefore, although he can speak a little Chinese and can babble some simple sentences, he mainly communicates in English.

Inviting Qing Zhiyuan and Ayase Akane into his office, Huang Renxun asked with some confusion, "So I think what President Qing said in the appointment email is that he wants to come and seek cooperation with NVIDIA, right?"

"Um."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

"By the way, Jensen," Huang's English name is Jensen Huang, "Do you have a TV here?" Before we formally talk about our needs, I want to show you something. "

Huang Renxun was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

So several people moved to the conference room.

There are actually two desktop computers placed here, as well as a TV and several game consoles.

It can be seen that Nvidia has been thinking about serving games from the beginning.

After all, in this world, apart from games, other industries don't seem to have such a big demand for graphics cards.

So Qing Zhiyuan asked Akane Ayase to open the box, take out the Sony PS game console inside, and connect the equipment.

Huang Renxun and two other partners stood nearby and exchanged glances with each other.

It was obvious that President Qing wanted to show them a game.

It's just that they don't know what it is yet.

Huang Renxun folded his hands and smiled, silently guessing Qing Zhiyuan's true intention of coming today.

Nvidia is a company that specializes in graphics processing chips.

Could it be that the president of this game company wants us to make game consoles?

Or participate in the development of game consoles?

…

After all the devices were connected, Qing Zhiyuan started the game.

"Jiansen, this is a 3D game we have newly developed. It is not on the shelves yet, but I want you to take a look."

After Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking, he controlled the controller and started to show them the first level of "Pokémon 3D World".

Huang Renxun is no stranger to the PS game console.

Because when it was released at the end of last year, PS was very popular.

High performance, 3D image support, and the ultra-low price of US$299 have made Sony's PS the best in the world, and its sales have gone crazy in the United States.

They bought several PSs in order to study games and the future development direction of NVIDIA.

The only shortcoming is that there are currently relatively few games on PS, and according to Huang Renxun's own opinion, there is no game on the market that can fully utilize the performance of PS.

However, when they bought the PS, Huang Renxun and his two partners had a big doubt about each other -

The PS controller design is completely different from the controllers of all game consoles on the market today.

In addition to the cross keys and buttons, many [useless functions] have been added

For example, dual joysticks, index finger keys and middle finger keys...

Huang Renxun is very incomprehensible to this.

If you develop a feature that is not used, then the product is a failed design.

Therefore, Huang Renxun believes that Sony will not be stupid enough to develop such a "useless" product. It must have some special purpose.

until today--

He saw the game brought by Qing Zhiyuan.

…

When Huang Renxun saw Qing Zhiyuan skillfully controlling the dual joysticks to make Pikachu move and turn flexibly back and forth on the screen, the entire 3D scene suddenly came to life.

He only felt his heartbeat speed up a little.

The whole person's brain buzzed.

He finally understood——

Sony's PS, whether it's 3D performance or the special design of the controller, everything is for today.

It's like a lock specially made for pokeni's key.

No one had been able to see the treasure inside the door before, until the key came.

Only then will you discover that the treasure inside the door is so dazzling and shocking.

It’s not that the graphics of “Pokémon 3D World” are so beautiful, but that this set of models and standards opens the door to a new world.

Huang Renxun suddenly understood.

…

After Qing Zhiyuan finished the demonstration, he put the controller aside, turned around and said to several Nvidia founders, "This is our newly developed 3D game. So far, only Sony's PS platform can support it."

"Um."

Everyone nodded.

It is true that only PS can support such a game.

"POKENI was actually involved in the development of Sony's PS game console. The 3D functions and controller design were actually our requests to Sony, in order to create the game you see today."

"Well... I should say it's not just for this game, but also to develop more interesting and groundbreaking 3D games in the future."

I see.

Huang Renxun and the two partners nodded, and now everything was understood.

Why does Sony develop such a weird controller? Why has no game so far been able to take advantage of the PS's 3D capabilities?

It turns out that all this was planned in advance.

Sony's PS is tailor-made for pokeni games.

"But... I still don't understand, what does President Qing want us to do? What can we do for pokeni." Huang Renxun asked politely.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled slightly and started to get to the point.

“That’s right, we have conducted an internal evaluation and believe that the current development speed of personal computers is actually quite rapid, and there will be more and more games that can be played on computers in the future.

Today's computer performance can actually meet most work needs, but games are very demanding on hardware performance.

On the one hand, we feel that there is great potential for computer games in the future and want to develop new games on computers. However, on the other hand, we are limited by the limitations of current computer hardware and feel very embarrassed.

That’s why I want to come here to seek cooperation and help from NVIDIA. "

Um?

Everyone couldn't help laughing happily.

Qing Zhiyuan's concept actually coincides with the founders of NVIDIA, and even directly speaks to their hearts.

"So what kind of games does pokeni want to develop on computers, and what kind of hardware support does it need?" Huang Renxun asked.

"3D shooting game." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"3D shooting game?"

"Um."

Qing Zhiyuan stretched out his hands and simulated the operation of the keyboard and mouse in the air.

"Playing shooting games on the computer requires 3D effects, the keyboard controls movement, and the mouse controls steering and shooting..."

He briefly described what a shooting game on a computer looks like and how to play it.

“But the very troublesome thing is that we are now simulating it through programs, which is very expensive and consumes very high CPU and memory, making it almost impossible to drive such a game.

So we need a 3D graphics card, a chip dedicated to processing 3D graphics that runs efficiently. "

After everyone listened, they all fell into deep thought.

…

At this moment, Huang Renxun's heart was beating loudly.

It was a magical feeling of destiny arriving.

He deeply felt what Qing Zhiyuan's arrival meant.

What Nvidia had been looking for for so long was stated in an understatement by this man from across the sea.

And so specific.

So specific that they can imagine what changes this 3D shooting game will bring in the future.

Specifically, Huang Renxun felt that he could build this graphics card in the next second.

It was even so specific that he felt that if he didn’t seize this opportunity, Nvidia might be doomed.

Once it seizes this opportunity, Nvidia will hope to become as powerful a chip company as AMD.
