Chapter 833 What is an online game?
"Online games? What is this?" Like Hiroshi Yamauchi, most players have a confused expression when they hear the term online games, but only a few players know this thing.
There is no way, online games are a little too rare these days.
Although according to research, the earliest online games appeared as early as the 1960s, online games that are truly open to all players only appeared in the 1980s.
Moreover, this kind of game is just the simplest text game. For example, fighting, you cannot see the battle screen or the combat operation. You can only see a text "You fought with the Hell Three-headed Dog, won the victory, got 3 gold coins, and had an experience value of 15."
If you are buying props, there is also only one text: "You spent 20 gold coins and bought an elite sword!"
In short, the entire game is full of text and you can't see any game scene. Players can only click on different options to make a decision at most.
But even such a game was launched, the hourly fee was as high as $6 per hour. Even now, no online game with a point card type can surpass this price.
Of course, the number of players in the world's first real online game is pitifully small. It is said that the total number of players who have played this game is less than 1,000.
The same is true for several online games that were released one after another, with the largest number of people only a few thousand people. Moreover, these games were basically not developed by some game companies, and they were all masterpieces of individual developers.
It was not until 1997 that ea launched the world's first serious online game "Net Genesis", which has a graphic interface, which officially opened the curtain for online games.
And this time, the one who kicked off this curtain will become our Daqian Group.
"First of all, I want to ask you a question. At most, how many people have you played a game with at the same time?" Boss Jia asked with a smile, and then there was a chaotic scene in the audience, and all kinds of answers emerged.
"Okay, I've heard everyone's answers, but it seems that there are only 8 people who answer the most numbers!" Boss Jia said. The 8 people are indeed the highest number of players below to play with their friends at the same time.
Because the game console only has two game controllers at most, even if SFC supports multiple SFC parallel games, the game itself needs to support multiplayer games.
Currently, the games in the SFC game console support up to 8 players at the same time, and this game is Nintendo's Mario Racing. In addition, the Daqian Pao Kart just released by Daqian also supports up to 8 players at the same time. This is the highest number of simultaneous online games that can be supported by mainstream games.
"Do you know how many people can be accommodated for online games at the same time?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
“10 people?”
“30 people?”
The audience in the audience cooperated and asked, but the highest among them was just a few hundred people.
"It's this number!" Boss Jia raised a finger and said, "100,000 people!"
"In my mind, an excellent online game can accommodate at least 100,000 people online at the same time!" Boss Jia's words made everyone gasp. How could this be possible for 100,000 people to play together at the same time?
"Don't think it's incredible. Judging from our current technology research and development and reserves, as long as the network becomes more and more perfect, it will be possible to accommodate 100,000 people online at the same time!"
"And now, I want to announce to you the first online game that we are developing... Well, there is no big screen this time, because our online game is still in the early stages of research and development. I don't know when it will be completed, but I can tell you that the name of this game is: "Sword Art Online·sao""
"Sword Art Online·sao! Isn't this the first game in Sword Art Online?" There were still many fans of Sword Art Online at the scene, and they recognized the origin of sao immediately.
"It seems that some friends have recognized it. Yes, we are planning to create a world called Sao, the classic game described in Sword Art Online. Of course, our games are not played with helmets, but computers, so some settings are impossible to appear, but in general, we will create a pretty perfect Sao world!" Boss Jia said with his eyes narrowed.
Because commercial online games have never really appeared in the world, and "Sword Art Online·sao" has actually just begun to develop. In addition, computers today cannot meet the configuration needs of online games, and there are still too few computers connected to the network cable. So although Daqian announced the news about a commercial online game "Sword Art Online·sao" at the exhibition, no one really cared about this game until he appeared in front of everyone.
"Okay, I have introduced all the new games that our Daqian Games will launch this year or next year!" After Boss Jia said that, the players present felt relieved at the same time. This is the first time they have seen the game company that released so many new games in one breath.
Moreover, judging from the introduction of the chairman of Daqian Games, most of these games seem to be very interesting and fun, which fully aroused the interest of players.
However, the game release has ended at this time. Players stood up one after another. Just as they were about to leave, Boss Jia on the stage suddenly said in a bad way, "All new games in our Daqian Game Headquarters have been released, so let's invite our Daqian's Blizzard Studio to release their latest games!"
"What! Blizzard Studio has a new game released!" When most of the players present heard this news, they sat back in an instant when they stood up.
At this time, a considerable number of players on the scene were fans of the game "Human and Warcraft", so when they learned that the maker of "Human and Warcraft" and Blizzard Studio will release a new game, everyone was excited. Could it be that the second part of "Human and Warcraft" will be released next, and we can finally see the next story of the World of Azeroth?
Many Pokemon fans present suddenly realized that didn’t Jia Yapeng say that there were three new news about Pokemon? Why is there only one released now? There are two more? Why is there no movement at all?
As a result, all the players who had just gotten up went back, and then watched Alan Adhan, the general manager of Blizzard Studio, walk out. He wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, and then smiled, "Sorry, this is the first time I have appeared in such a grand occasion. I'm a little nervous, please forgive me!"
A burst of laughter immediately came from the scene.
"Okay, I know you've watched a lot of new games and are a little tired, so I won't talk nonsense to everyone, just watch the promotional video!"
"I was killed for five hundred years, but now, I am resurrected again. I am Diablo, Big Pineapple!" With such a shrill voice, an army of countless demons killed from the dark caves.
These demons are also produced by the Dynasty Special Effects Studio, all of which are at the Hollywood movie level, so these demons, who are like real existence, have attracted the attention of all viewers.
"And you damn players, do you want to stop my resurrection?" With the roar of Big Pineapple, the three people suddenly appeared on the path that the demon army must advance.
"These three people don't plan to challenge the entire army, right?" A viewer couldn't help but say, and then the three human warriors holding giant swords rushed towards countless demonic armies.
The female archer holding the bow and arrow showed her graceful figure and perfect figure, then bent her bow and took an arrow, and in an instant, countless rains of arrows fell from the sky, killing a large number of demons.
Finally, there was a mage holding a staff. When his companions had already started fighting, the mage was always singing. When the battle went on for more than a minute, the warriors and archers were suppressed by the demon army. Seeing that the three-person team was about to be wiped out, the mage suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a red flame that swept across the entire battlefield like waves. Tens of thousands of demons were all cleared in an instant, and the entire demon army was killed.
Chapter completed!
