Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 532 436 Why is it Qing Zhiyuan again? !

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

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

Moreover, in Silent Hill, the light effect is reduced to create a scary atmosphere, and at the same time, it also covers up some of its own shortcomings in model refinement, and the effect presented is several levels higher.

As soon as this game came out, the audience was frightened on the spot. It also showed that the game has indeed reached the pinnacle of its generation in terms of graphics performance.

…

The first day of the pre-show press conference can be said to be Sony's home field. Although there is a small episode like Konami's Silent Hill at the end, overall it is still dominated by Sony games.

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

Even Konami has released a new Metal Gear Solid game developed on the PS game console - "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty"

It is not expected to be available to everyone until around the first half of next year. It is also a game that players are looking forward to.

The main reason is that the reputation of the previous games is really good, and the Metal Gear Solid series can be regarded as Konami's old IP game, almost like Mario is to Rentendo.

Konami seems to be on a roll here and there. Not only does it have new games on the Sega DC, but it also seems to have no plans to let go of the PS.

The main thing is to spread the rain and dew equally, not to put all the eggs in one basket. Anyway, making games on every console platform is the most correct choice for these third-party game developers.

What will be the outcome of the final console war?

…

If the first day is Sony's home court, then the second day is Rentendo's home court.

At least that's what it seemed like from the morning's press conference.

As soon as Rentiantian came up the next day, it released the concept design of the new console.

Yes, although it is hard to believe that it was actually a conceptual design without even a physical product, but Sony was the first to boast about the PS2 out of thin air, and now the operation of Rentendo seems not so unacceptable.

Nintendo's 128-bit machine development plan has surfaced.

Howard Lincoln announced the specifications of their new console, codenamed "Dolphin", to the public in his pre-E3 speech.

"Dolphin" will be jointly developed by Nintendo and Panasonic, using IBM's 400MHz "Gecko" CPU using 0.18 micron process, and will use DVD media.

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

"What?! Did I hear you correctly? Rentian is actually giving up the cassette mode? Switching directly to DVD? Is this still the Rentian I know?"

"President Yamauchi feels like he has changed his gender this time. Why did he suddenly become enlightened?"

"To be honest, I have always felt that game discs are the mainstream. Rentian was too stubborn before and didn't know how to adapt. Now I am far behind before I think about it.

However, it's not too late to make amends. The thought of new consoles using DVD in the future is exciting. "

Before, Yamauchi refused to give up the cassette tapes no matter what. In fact, there was a very important reason——

form barriers.

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

Compared with discs that need to read data to the hard drive before running, cartridges can start games faster.

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

Giving up cartridges may make some players dissatisfied or lose interest in Nintendo products.

Although it is also a continuation of habits, Rentian players have come from the cassette model. They do not give up cassettes. On the one hand, they take care of the players' feelings. On the other hand, the cassette specifications developed by Rentian are only suitable for Your own game console, which reduces the possibility of piracy.

And after the technical barriers are formed, it is equivalent to blocking other game console developers from outside. It is definitely impossible for you to be compatible with Rentiantian's console.

In addition, from a business perspective, Nintendo also needs to consider its own interests.

As a medium in which Nintendo has its own production rights, cassettes can ensure the quality and quantity of games released and avoid being affected by other manufacturers.

At the same time, cartridges can also be used as a unique identifier for Nintendo games to distinguish them from games from other manufacturers.

…

In the past, when Rentian was the dominant player, this model was still feasible, but today is different. With Sony's PS fully dominant, Rentian's cassette strategy has become a negative effect.

It turns out to be a moat, which can prevent enemy invasion and reduce the loss of players.

But now this moat and barrier blocks those players who want to flow in from the outside, causing them to fall into the arms of Sony.

In terms of capacity alone, the current cassette capacity is far from rivals of DVD. This situation will continue until the birth of the next industrial pearl, which is the so-called high-end chip process:

You can use cassettes and chips to carry out large-capacity storage, and it also requires plug-and-play, which is equivalent to a small U disk. This technological difficulty is not ordinary.

But the cost has also piled up. Burning a disc may only cost a few yuan or even a few cents, but a chip cassette with a large capacity may cost much more.

…

Others don't know the name of the game console, but Qing Zhiyuan knows it well.

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

NGC, the abbreviation of NINTENDO GAMECUBE is quite straightforward when translated, it can be called Rentian Game Box.

Because it finally looks like a small box, the shape is definitely very creative, directly shrinking the common game console to almost the size of a CD player.

In other words, it is not much larger than a CD.

Ren Tiantang introduced the Dolphin game console in PPT and concept machine mode, and then continued to focus on the N64.

Among the N64 games on display this time, there are several works that correspond to console memory expansion packs, including "Star Wars: Episode II Racing" and "Perfect Darkness". The former has a promotional budget of US$10 million, while the latter uses expansion packs. Strengthen previous work results.

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

Some other games on display include "Mario Golf", "Eternal Darkness", etc.

Generally speaking, this E3 exhibition is a preview of a new round of console wars, and it also makes players more excited.

Players can't help but get extremely excited when they think about the future console war between Sony, Pokeni and Rentendo.

"Looking at it this way, Rentian's host is not bad at all."

"It's really weird. Have you noticed why the E3 electronics show has now turned into a mode of empty propaganda? Sony and Rentian are really going too far. They just showed it with PPT.

The game console doesn't even have a physical object, so I dare to brag about it here. "

"Hahahaha, it can only be said that Sony has made a very bad start. Nowadays game console developers have also learned to be smart. If players can expect it by directly posting pictures and parameters, then why wait for the trial machine? How about taking it out after you’re done?”

"Hmm, this is probably a new publicity and warm-up mode, right?"

Qing Zhiyuan said that this is how the world has been ruined.

The main reason is that our DC game console has already been produced. Otherwise, Qing Zhiyuan would also like to do a concept promotion first, and then preview the trial machine, and also extend this time process to maintain Popularity and topicality will do.

Even if we do two or three trial machine demonstrations, it seems feasible to manage players' expectations.

…

However, it seems that the PPT mode has caused some psychological barriers. Some players have developed a bit of a rebellious mentality. They feel that although Sony and Rentendo have boasted very well, no one knows what is actually going on.

"On the contrary, I think pokeni are more unpretentious. People really have them and can really show them. I feel more at ease and trust them."

"That's right. Sega, like Pokeni, loses because it is too honest. It feels like a very honest child. If it gets 90 points in the test, it will say 90 points. But Sony may have the ability to get full marks in the test, but he said he got full marks. But he didn't show you the test paper. I felt a little unsure. I didn't know whether to praise the child or spank him.

As for Rentendo, he is like an outstanding kid from next door. He has always been as honest as Pokeni, but now he sees that this kid Sony can actually fool him by saying that he has perfect scores.

Then it could just hide the 80-point test paper and follow suit and shout that it got full marks.

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 paper and the real score at a glance?

I feel like we are more like parents.

But, as far as treating children is concerned, I hope they will be honest with themselves like pokeni and talk to their parents from the bottom of their hearts.

However, I hope that children will be able to enjoy being a Sony in society. "

"That's not okay. We are not parents. We are the ones who need services in society. As guests, we definitely prefer pokeni.

Of course, if Sony can keep its word, there seems to be nothing unacceptable. "

…

In the afternoon, Toby Gad came up first to promote the new Tomb Raider game——

"Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation"

Starting from this generation, the Tomb Raider series abandoned the past "Tomb Raider X" approach. This game is not called "Tomb Raider IV", but "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" .

"Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" showed an extremely wonderful performance at the scene. Since this game was released on Sega DC and was produced using the most advanced Trailblazer engine, the game screen and 3D There has been a huge leap forward in terms of performance.

This company is simply a model worker, developing "Tomb Raider" at a rate of one year, and they especially know how to adapt to the development of the times. They will do whatever technology is more advanced and which platform can better reflect the value of the game.

Therefore, the growth of the Tomb Raider series is also visible to the naked eye. From the mosaic game two years ago, to the Brick Man, and then to the thick lines, and now to Lara Croft, who now has a certain real-life experience, this person is loved by many players. My favorite heroine is also rapidly becoming more beautiful and clear.

This is a game that returns to the roots of the Tomb Raider adventure, with Lara Croft traveling through Egypt to track down the released demon Set.

The live demonstration combined an exciting action experience with rich and interesting puzzles, allowing players to feast their eyes and further appreciate the power of the Sega DC game console.

In addition, after the game demo, Toby Gad also announced that the game will be made into a movie and put on the big screen in 2001.

Upon hearing the news, the audience was excited.

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 great curiosity about this.

You must know that the reason why Tomb Raider was so popular in the previous life is that in addition to the game itself being very good, another very important point is that a lot of points were added to the film and television promotion.

After Angelina Jolie became popular with Tomb Raider, she also spread this series to the world.

Even many people may not have played the game, but they will definitely know the image of Lara Croft holding two guns. This is the publicity value brought by the success of the movie.

In this life, I wonder if they will be so lucky to meet an actress who can perfectly interpret Laura and shine at the same time.

…

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

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

It's so exciting to be in the spotlight and receive admiration at the same time.

After the introduction, Toby Gard waved his hands with a smile, then packed up his things and prepared to leave the stage.

"I'm also looking forward to what the real-life version of Laura will look like. I believe she will be a cool and hot girl."

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

Originally he was full of passion and was waiting to enjoy the enthusiastic applause of the audience, but when he saw the next guy to appear, Toby couldn't help but frown.

hateful……

Why am I in front of pokeni again?

Toby glanced into the distance.

Yes, the person who slowly walked onto the stage under the spotlight, who else could it be but the particularly annoying-looking Qing Zhiyuan?

"We meet again." Qing Zhiyuan smiled and waved.

The audience immediately became excited.

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

The whole family is infected with the flu, and I suspect it may have been contracted by the crowd at my brother-in-law's wedding.

There has been a high incidence of influenza recently, so everyone should try to wear a mask when going out.

The body is the most important!
