Back To 1995: Chapter 587 The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead
Chapter 587
Looking at the reaction at the booth, Fatty G is very satisfied. As for the open source code, allowing players to freely develop MODs, this is something that Fatty G has thought about for a long time, and Song Yang also agreed.
Blocking is worse than sparse. The game will be cracked sooner or later. Like "StarCraft", so much anti-theft has been done, and now piracy has begun to appear. As long as it is profitable, those gangsters and scalpers can do anything.
Fatty G really likes games. "Half-Life" is the first game of Valve Corporation. He knows how many games can be sold. As long as it can attract more users, it is enough for Valve Corporation!
As for releasing the open source code and allowing players to develop Half-Life MODs, Fatty G also kept a hand, that is, these MOD games developed based on "Half-Life", V clubs automatically get their agency sales rights, that is, V The club has the right to sell these MOD games, and then share a fortune!
Now Fatty G still wants to expand the influence of "Half-Life". As for the MOD of "Half-Life", there will be a game like CS. It can still happen such a good thing, the MOD game sells better than the original version...
The rhythm of the Half-Life game is very fast. Cameron went up to try it out. It is a brand new game experience. The sense of shooting is very strong. Compared with the shooting games that Cameron played before, it feels much stronger. .
Cameron wanted to experience it for a while, but the buddies in the back were all staring at him, and Cameron could only experience one level before ending.
Leaving the booth of V Agency, Cameron went to the booths of several other game studios under Sierra Mountain, but in addition to V Agency and R Star, the other well-known ones are Sega and Id Game Studios. Consoles and games have attracted the attention of many game fans.
Both Sega were also present, announcing new plans. Niben Sega is cooperating with SNK to develop new arcade and console games. Several plans have been announced, including King of Fighters, Sonic, and a new game " Like a dragon" and so on.
Peter Moore, President of Sega America, came to the scene in person and announced to the players present that Sega America will work with Microsoft to develop a new generation of game consoles, XBOX consoles!
Peter Moore declared that this game, regardless of cost, will develop an epic game console, and a series of supporting games...
Relying on the impassioned Peter Moore on the stage, Cameron has a little more expectation. For no other reason, the key is that Microsoft, which invested in the XBOX host, is really not short of money. This console will also be named Microsoft, Microsoft In order not to lose face, they will definitely throw money at their deaths. By that time, the entire host industry may set off another bloodbath.
The more aggressive the mainframe industry is, the happier Cameron is. Now that Sony’s mainframe has become the dominant player, it keeps raising prices and selling more and more expensive. Only when Sega, Sony, and Nintendo have their brains broken, will the mainframe Only then will the price continue to be lowered. Maybe at that time, you can buy a host for US$298, instead of buying one for US$498 like now, and you don’t have many games!
The exhibition area of Xueleshan is very large, but along the way, there are only a few that Cameron is familiar with. The rest of the game manufacturers such as Xishanju, Target Games, Nexon, NCsoft, and Actoz are all emerging game manufacturers. Has not come up with any masterpieces, it is really difficult to attract the attention of Cameron, a veteran of the game.
Cameron stopped in front of the largest booth in the entire game venue. The size of the booth here is almost equivalent to the sum of V Agency and R Star, and it has more rows than the booths of Nintendo, Sony, and Activision. Cameron looked at Blizzard's LOGO on the booth, and he could only sigh, it really deserves to be the heart of Xue Leshan's own son, and the lineup is really satisfying!
Blizzard's exhibition area is actually divided into two exhibition areas, one is Blizzard's own game exhibition, and the other is the booth of the interim StarCraft professional e-sports exhibition held jointly with the TGA organizer.
The two exhibition areas are together, and it seems that Blizzard's exhibition area is several times larger than the other exhibition areas.
The e-sports side is still in the process of debugging the equipment. The more than 200 seats set up are already full, and there are still a group of spectators crowded around.
Who would have imagined that the world's first professional e-sports competition was held in this kind of place, and the participants were a group of teenagers, divided into red and blue, sitting in the exhibition area , less than three or four meters apart from each other.
This thing, a certain player in the DOTA competition area, who is honored as "Roaring Tianzun", is probably the most familiar. There is no soundproof room. Being able to taunt opponents crazily with voice, making the opponents being taunted unconscious and powerless, this is a serious offline PK.
Of course, this also requires strength, not only the game must be good, but the physique is also good, otherwise after a game, the opponent will probably have to be beaten into the ICU, win the prize, lose the seat...
Cameron is already familiar with Blizzard's games. Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft, Cameron paid a dollar for all of them. After looking around, Cameron didn't see the Blizzard trio , Cameron is quite a bit regretful.
He is also going to ask for the signatures of Zhang Blizzard's trio for the hundreds of thousands of brothers on the IGN forum. So when can it come out!
Blizzard’s big cake is still very fragrant. Cameron saw that Blizzard announced that it will launch "Warcraft 3" and "Diablo 2". Department, there is an online game "World of Warcraft".
The pie is big and round, very tempting, but Cameron doesn't know when it will be available. Anyway, there are no shadows of these new games, let alone trying it out. Information Even before the movie was released, one knew how far Blizzard had developed these new games.
There was a loud noise from the e-sports exhibition area over there. Cameron went over and saw that many cameras had been set up at the scene. Dozens of media broadcasting the TGA Awards Ceremony had already rushed over to take pictures of the event that will be on the stage. A scene in the history of the game.
ICQ, ICNC TV, Xueleshan online game platform will broadcast this e-sports exhibition live!
Cameron has seen many video clips of how "quasi" professional players play StarCraft, but watching it live is a completely different experience.
These e-sports players participating in the exhibition match are actually members of a new e-sports club established by Xueleshan. In order to avoid suspicion, they did not name Xueleshan and Blizzard, but they are actually the world's first professional club established by Xueleshan. In the e-sports club, the members in the game are the first team and the substitutes of this e-sports club.
There are two hundred seats, it is difficult to meet the demand, and a large audience has already surrounded them. The young players on the field are being attacked by so many cameras, and the noise of the scene makes them obviously a little nervous.
The entire exhibition match is divided into 1V1 and 3V3. The whole competition has a bit of understanding from the grassroots team. From the scene layout, to the host, commentary, broadcast director, on-site equipment, etc., it is a bit sloppy, but for the countless game fans present For them, watching this exhibition game is probably an experience from a game to reality for them. Regardless of the game, this game may never be forgotten in their lifetime!
First, a 1V1. After the start, I saw two professional players on the field, and they really operated decentralized mining. At a hand speed of 300 operations per minute, when the game started, Cameron played "StarCraft" with a group of people. "Battle for Hegemony" players were all staring at the live game screen on the booth.
When both sides of the competition had resources and started to show off their operations, the entire e-sports exhibition area suddenly burst into screams. Cameron looked at those operations that he could not even imagine, and various tactics. I couldn't help but yelled, all kinds of American slang and scolding were constantly on the scene, but this was not scolding the players, but too excited. If it is placed in China, the comment area is probably full of "bull" at this time up.
On the ICNC website and the Xueleshan online platform that are broadcasting the game, the number of users quickly exceeded 300,000, and all kinds of comments below are flying.
When he walked out of the exhibition area of the Grand Theater, Cameron was still recalling that game. Although it was an exhibition match, the players on both sides really worked hard. No one wanted to be a failure in this game that was recorded in the history of the game. That side, even if it was an exhibition match, it was also the world's first professional e-sports match!
The emotions of the audience watching the game, including Cameron, were also aroused by the player's operation. Cameron discovered for the first time that the game game can also make people so excited, and even made him feel excited.
Similar to Cameron, this professional e-sports exhibition game, in just a few hours, appeared on major websites around the world with the spring breeze of the Internet. If there are Baidu hot searches, Google hot words, etc. , then the search for e-sports games is definitely at the top of the list!
Game fans all over the world have countless discussions about the "StarCraft" e-sports game. On ICQ, groups about e-sports games have sprung up like mushrooms. I don't have any interest, but I am very interested in game competitions. The idea of becoming a professional e-sports player has also begun to emerge among the new generation of game fans.
Just like e-sports competitions, there are also those games that appeared at the TGA game show today, and they were even spread wildly on the IGN forum and Yahoo.
"Grand Theft Auto will definitely be a masterpiece in the history of games!"
"Half-Life, redefining FPS games!"
"Quake 2, the legend continues!"
