Chapter 421 [ACC host conference, the industry focuses on Cologne]
During this period, two days after the last two days of the acc hosting conference, media from all over the world rushed to the city of Cologne, Germany, a million-person city.
In about half a month, the wrpo held this year will also start in Cologne. In addition to local gamers, e-sports players from all over the world have already arrived here first.
The venue for the press conference has been laid out and is a matrix-style indoor press conference hall. There are giant screens on both sides of the wall. The whole venue contains 7 large giant screens in total, but the single screen in front is the largest, and the internal seat can accommodate up to about 2,200 people.
For Cologne, a city with a million people, such a venue is already very large.
However, the tickets were sold out three days ago, and many people wanted to come to the scene but there were no tickets.
As September 25 arrived as scheduled, players around the world focused on the city of Cologne, Germany, and players who could not come to the scene also watched the live broadcast of the press conference through the bv video network.
A new first-party game player in the global gaming industry has been born. Whether it is Sony, Microsoft, which is in the industry, is extremely concerned about international competitors, and the same is true for console players.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entry of the Costa Øre into the home game console market is definitely the largest event in the global gaming industry in 2010.
Early this morning, various media, guests, and players who bought tickets arrived at the press conference.
When players saw the third-party players of various games appearing at the press conference, they found that the rows sitting at the front of the press conference were all the bosses who rarely appear.
A vice president of ea is here, Ubisoft's head is here, Capcom's head is here, Colemi's head is here, Square Enix's vice president is here, Activision's head is here.
The game companies represented by these bigwigs are the world's top third-party game development companies so far. The game masterpieces such as "Assassin's Creed", "Resident Evil", "Final Fantasy", and "Metal Equipment" that are well-known to players are all from these game developers.
The heads of several game companies that Luo Sheng acquired have all come. Only Blizzard, which has nothing to do with home game consoles, did not come, and G-Pang is also here.
In addition to these, competitors such as Sony, Sega, Nintendo, and Microsoft also sent their own people to the front line to "spy on the enemy's situation", and senior executives are paying attention to the press conference process in their respective offices or homes.
Although Luo Sheng is a complete new player in the eyes of industry insiders, opponents like Sony really dare not take it lightly. Facing a high-profile entry of a technology giant of the Fortune 500 level in the world, it would be strange if it cannot have an impact on the entire industry.
It is one thing to mobilize the navy to be accused of evil, but it is another thing to pay attention to it.
...
It was nine o'clock local time, and the press conference was full. Soon the bright lights were all turned off, and some discussions also faded away. The audience looked forward.
A row of camera lights on the stage and its surroundings followed, followed by a cyberpunk-style background music that the players on the scene were already familiar with. After two seconds, a screen was played simultaneously on the large screen on the audience.
It was the promotional video released by the Costa à la Côte d'Azur earlier. The players at the scene had a strong feeling at the moment. This promotional video they had watched many times was played again at the press conference but gave them a cinema-level audio-visual feast.
“It’s a great start!”
"This CG is really cool!"
“The effect on the scene is simply a igniting rhythm.”
"It feels so good. It is worthy of being a press conference for high-tech companies to highlight a high-end one."
At this moment, when the promotional video was being screened, the gamers watching the live broadcast were also hotly discussed. The matrix-style press conference hall and the cool live lighting were indeed very exciting.
Almost four minutes later, the promotional video was broadcast, and the exclusive logo of the ACC host was presented on the large screen on the scene, and the lights in front of the stage lighted up again.
The overall light-toning style of the entire press conference hall is dark.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Luo!" The sound effects of a female host came from the sound effects on the scene.
After a while, a hot man walked up to the front from behind.
“Oh oh oh”
The players and fans at the scene suddenly cheered and broke the quiet situation in the audience. The on-site reaction of this press conference proved that Luo Sheng's influence is global, and 90% of the audiences who came here are non-Chinese.
This year's Costa delle made the outside world feel as if it was drugged, and the big moves were continuous. In the first half of the year, the IEP tablet launched the AC console in the second half of the year. However, there seemed to be no new moves in the Azure mobile phone this year. It is already autumn now. The outside world probably won't have big news about the Azure mobile phone this year.
People in the mobile phone industry were inexplicably relieved, and were happy to see the leading industry leaders in other fields. Don’t always focus on the struggles in the smartphone industry. It’s very hard for a friendly business to catch up.
"Good morning, thank you for your support. This is my first time to come to Europe and Germany. I love this land. I went to the Alps to ski yesterday, so I almost delayed today's press conference work. No one else took over the plan B." Luo Sheng completed a simple opening with a bright smile.
The audience also ushered in a burst of laughter.
The press conference was scheduled overseas, and Luo Sheng used fluent English to carry out his work today.
"We will launch some exciting news today. During our internal testing phase, the acc console has been enhanced in all aspects of the gaming experience compared to the already released consoles on the market, just like today you will see the core of our innovation."
Sony and Microsoft's first parties felt a toothache when they heard Luo Sheng's arrogant words. You, a novice, jumped like this as soon as you came up, and wouldn't you give us old players some face?
However, toothache is just toothache. Luo Sheng said such big words. He has to pay attention to them. Let’s see what the background is.
"All the most advanced tradition of the Costa delle of excellent engineering and technology is the best and most direct interpretation of the super hardware level of the company's series of products. The acc host will continue this tradition, but we also know that success will not only depend on the technology required by the next generation of home hosts, but also need to reexamine the needs of the next generation of players."
At this moment, Luo Sheng was pacing back and forth calmly on the stage, and continued:
"Although we want to change the current gaming environment, players will also change us. From diverse games to gaming communities, home consoles need to have multiple functions to connect to social media. The need for new home consoles is already obvious."
When people in the industry heard this, they were quite eye-catching, unexpected but reasonable. Everyone knows that Luo Sheng started his business through social interaction.
"After discussing with many talented developers, we understand what they expect from the new console. The future we build is not only a lot of innovations in the console, but also in all related products. Immersing in the game in all aspects has given us a new enthusiasm for the game. What conditions are required for the acc console to achieve extraordinary achievements, and we have also gained a deep understanding of this."
The last thing industry people want to hear is the word "innovation" spoken from Luo Sheng, especially those of international competitors.
"Today, we will lead you to experience the future games. This is a rethinking of the game, led by developers, inspired by players, and provided strong technical support by Costa delle."
Speaking of this, Luo Sheng turned to the audience at the press conference: "We believe that the acc console marks a major change. The acc is not a single home game console device, but the leader of the game. For players around the world, the acc is the best place to play games in the future. The acc will show extraordinary imagination and create a next-generation gaming experience that players absolutely cannot imagine, and developers can also develop new business models."
"Today, we will publish some ideas for future games and prospects for the game format that leads the changing times. In the coming time, we will showcase the new features of acc, what new experiences will bring to players and some core concepts of acc development."
“Build a long-term partnership with quality developers, a brand new host at the heart of user experience, and a faster social and personalized network that integrates entertainment into life in an unprecedented way.”
"We firmly believe that success is not just about relying on a bunch of world-leading hardware technologies, but about redefining the gameplay that players want today and in the future. Acc is a device created based on this concept, that is, bringing players more diverse gaming experiences."
Blow up first and then talk about it.
I'm afraid that only you can hear such big talk at the press conference hosted by Luo Sheng. Some keywords such as "unprecedented", "leading the world", "redefinition", etc. It seems that between the lines, the AC is going to surpass Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo and other old-fashioned manufacturers to become the new overlords in the industry.
