Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 534 438. I can give you one hundred points

The person who may have been the first game platform in the world and proposed this concept is now Qing Zhiyuan.

However, in fact, last year, China already had an online chess and card game hall called [Lianzhong World Game Hall], which mainly provides players with online chess and card game services.

In the previous life, Lianzhong also had an old rival called Winger Games, but this company's chess and card game hall would not be launched until 2000.

The current Lianzhong Game Hall has almost more than 100,000 registered users, and this number is still growing. The average number of people online every day has reached an astonishing 2,000 people.

It's just that so far, Lianzhong has not been able to find any particularly good way to monetize. This is actually a very important problem that plagues many people working in the Internet industry.

Although it has a large number of users, at best it is advertising for other companies, and advertising revenue has become the bulk of the gaming platform.

Even Lianzhong is not well-known because it has no money to advertise, and now there is no chance to be connected to advertising. The three founders, Bao Yueqiao, Jian Jing, and Wang Jianhua, have not paid themselves a salary for almost a year. The company All the funds prepared when it was established were almost spent, and it was almost at the end of its rope.

Lianzhong is not the first to build an online chess and card game hall. In 1997, a Chinese Polaris company was already making this thing. It just didn't think about the profit model, but regarded the game hall as a simple computer. The software installed on it is sold to some telecom operators, and then a set is sold for hundreds of thousands.

The user base is also quite small.

Since the place where the seed of Lianzhong grew up is still a slightly remote soil, at least internationally, people have relatively little awareness of network platforms, so the game platform brought by Qing Zhiyuan this time gave everyone a great sense of freshness. .

Even though Qing Zhiyuan shouted the slogan that it can support 200,000 people online at the same time, everyone at the scene did not have much idea of ​​how many people were online on the game platform.

If you are talking about making games, being able to sell more than 200,000 copies should be considered a good achievement, but it will not be such a surprise that people will drop their jaws. After all, the annual sales of a Pokémon game are several Millions, or even tens of millions, are called behemoths.

If you view it as an Internet website, 200,000 does not seem like much.

Currently, P-net's portal has an average of tens of millions of visits per day.

(This is still the case when P-net is the only one. You must know that after the Chinese market develops in the future, the websites on the list will have daily visits in hundreds of millions.)

If you think of it as a real casino operating, it seems impossible to find such a place in reality.

But these are secondary. The problem is that until now, just listening to Qing Zhiyuan’s description,

Kutaragi Ken, including the bosses of other game companies present, didn’t quite understand how to make money from this thing.

Could it be that after working on it for a long time, we finally regarded it as a website?

After spending so much effort, you created a casual game platform for players to play chess and cards and do some simple socializing?

Can't figure it out.

…

But Qing Zhiyuan didn't care that much. The later they figured it out, the better.

Speaking of things that are common to the young generation in the future, such as online recharge and payment, membership system, corporate advertising... This series of monetization methods seems quite simple and logical, but in fact the process of exploration is very long.

Take the game platform as an example. It has really found a way to make profits. Lianzhong was established in 1998 and it was not until 2000 that it first split money with China Telecom. It had some income. At the end of 2000, it finally gritted its teeth and launched a membership system. .

This process took almost more than two years.

The same is true for QQ.

From the very beginning of burning money in 1999, to opening a membership system, selling accounts, and QQ space, it was not until the QQ game lobby in 2003 that user traffic was finally monetized.

So it’s not that people today are not smart enough, it’s just that due to the limitations of the times, you can’t understand the future direction when many things appear. If you ask these game bosses at the scene to think about the online payment model in the future, they Even if you think about it, you may not be able to get to the edge.

The most important thing is that online recharge is not within the scope of contemporary people's thinking.

After introducing the Dandelion gaming platform, Qing Zhiyuan paused slightly with a smile on his face to give everyone a little time to digest.

"As everyone knows, our company has always been fond of making ecological games, such as Pokémon World, and then to Bug Master World. This time, we hope to bring a more real and magical world to everyone."

He turned around and let out the big screen behind him, "Everyone, I hope you like the world of "Monster Hunter"."

As his voice fell, the lights in the entire scene dimmed.

At the same time, a promotional video that P Club had prepared long ago was played on the big screen:

…

A burst of insects and birds chirped, and at the same time the picture turned from dark to bright.

Green vegetation covers the earth, and there are blue sky and white clouds overhead. The sunshine in the sky is shining brightly, baking the earth. It is the summer vacation in June, and you can feel the heat even if you are watching this video.

After a few seconds, the BGM suddenly sounded. It was a gorgeous symphony, powerful and powerful, making people feel the magnificent scene.

Some big birds flew by with fluttering wings in the sky.

Under the white clouds, there is a magnificent waterfall. The water above is like a huge wall, impacting down, stirring up a white mist in the pool below.

When the screen switched again, it turned into a large expanse of vibrant green grass.

And a large group of herbivorous dragons were marching in the grass with huge steps.

These herbivorous dragons look very different from what players know, but they have a sense of reality. They have huge antlers similar to deer, but they are connected in the middle, and only the top parts form branches. The shape looks like a big plaque on the forehead.

Compared with the strong and oval belly in the middle, the head appears slightly smaller.

But even so, these guys look huge.

In order to give players a better visual contrast, pokeni specially added some human characters to the game promotional video——

They were wearing heavy furs, but had similar modern attire. A girl was standing in the middle of the field, building a pergola on her forehead with her hands and looking into the distance.

Compare these humans, and you will find that the herbivorous dragons are really huge, a bit taller than humans.

…

As soon as the game screen came out, screams erupted from the scene.

"Wow, is it true? P Club's games are too exquisite, right?"

"Compared with Monster Hunter, other games are not on the same level at all."

Not only the skin textures, skin colors, and changes in the light of the various [monsters] shown in the game make people feel lifelike, as if such creatures really exist.

Moreover, the characters in the game are also very exquisitely made. Not only do they have very smooth character lines, but they also have more refined facial expressions. The entire human body model, skin textures, and movements are all beyond the players' understanding of the game.

One of the clever things about pokeni is that when they designed the characters, they did not shape them according to real characters. Instead, like the previous demon hunters, they followed the Japanese-style Westernization route.

It seems that the character's face has a more two-dimensional aesthetic, but it also combines many Western elements, such as hair of various colors, and the armor worn is more Western fantasy, which makes the game more widely adaptable. , can be loved by players from different regions.

"The games made by Paradox are too good, right? Monster Hunter simply crushes other games in terms of performance."

…

In the picture, several herbivorous dragons were lowering their heads to eat, nibbling on some emerald green food that could not be named. At this moment, a herbivorous dragon suddenly raised its head and its eyes widened in horror.

There was a roar in the background.

The other herbivorous dragons straightened their necks and ran in panic.

It turns out that a group of short blue guys appeared in the distance——

They have a skin color that looks as blue as the sky and sea water. They are smaller in size and walk upright, but they still look like dinosaurs, with sharp teeth, flat mouths, and very destructive claws.

This kind of guy is called a blue velociraptor. They attacked the herbivorous dragons as soon as they appeared. Several blue velociraptors ran very fast and formed an effective triangle cooperation with each other. Following one of them, The herbivorous dragon jumped on the back, then opened its mouth and bit the opponent's throat.

The herbivorous dragon fell down, and at the same time several other blue velociraptors also rushed up.

Seeing this scene, some players couldn't help but cover their mouths, as if they couldn't believe that what was just a peaceful moment had now turned into a killing field.

Everyone is actually not unfamiliar with this scene.

Because there was a similar plot in "Jurassic Park" released in 1993.

In fact, Monster Hunter draws on a lot of content from Jurassic Park, or it draws on ancient creatures that existed in history but have become extinct.

Dinosaurs are the ones that have been borrowed the most. Although they have been redesigned and transformed, some of their characteristics are still very obvious.

For example, the blue velociraptor is almost a replica of a predator like Velociraptor.

…

…

And just when the blue velociraptors were preparing to enjoy the delicious food in front of them, suddenly a huge claw struck the side, causing the ground to shake.

The lens at this time is also very good, almost sticking to the horizon, with one of the blue velociraptors as the protagonist [shooting].

The audience was also startled by the sudden claw.

The camera zoomed out slightly, and in front of the blue velociraptor, a more frightening behemoth appeared——

Female fire dragon.

The female Fire Dragon has a body several times larger than the Blue Velociraptor, and one of its claws can almost be seen to be larger than the Blue Velociraptor.

And in its open mouth, there was a faint flame burning, and its sharp fangs were spread out on both sides. At first glance, it looked like a very ferocious carnivorous king.

Compared with the previous experience of Jurassic Park, the female fire dragon is more like a guy who came out of myths and legends.

In other words, it is the image of [Dragon] created by DND.

It has wide wings, a long lizard tail covered with spikes, a huge forehead, a sharp beak like a crocodile, and fierce claws.

The roar alone was deafening.

The on-site effects and the performance on the big screen are really shocking.

…

After showing the entire island scenery and the various creatures that appeared on it, the female fire dragon soared upwards and soared through the mountains with her huge wings.

Then he rushed towards the prey below and fought with other monsters.

As a link in the entire biological chain, human beings must not only survive in this world, but also build weapons and equipment.

After getting dressed, the fully armed hunters set off.

They started running on the grassland, and the female fire dragon in the sky was lured to attack.

Just as it opened its huge claws and rushed down towards one of the hunters, the young and brave hunter raised the blunderbuss in his hand and fired a shot at the camera.

boom! ! !

The fire exploded.

The promotional video ends abruptly.

Big words appeared on the screen——

《MONSTER HUNTER》

…

There was silence in the scene, and everyone could not help but be shocked.

After about two seconds, thunderous applause broke out and lasted for a long time.

"It's so shocking. This is a whole world of ancient creatures and the guys who appear in myths and legends are directly moved into the game.

It looks like it makes people have an urge to experience it. "

"Wow, is this Jurassic Park made into a game? This game completely touched my heart. When I watched Jurassic Park, I was thinking about when it would be made into a game. That would be great.

The thought of being able to fight against those legendary behemoths and inspect and collect various animals and plants makes me extremely excited. "

"Monster hunter, is that what it means? Someone who hunts monsters.

This game looks very interesting. "

"P Company has taken the game to the next level. It has created such a colorful 3D world, which is very realistic, and both the model and scene performance can be said to be top-notch in the world."

"Not only is it the best in the world, it feels like it's at least several years ahead of its time."

"Isn't Pokeni so awesome? Whether it's from the expressiveness of the game screen or the game world just shown, I feel that I can give it a hundred points."
