Global monopoly of technology

During this period of time, the last two days of the ACC host conference, media from all over the world successively rushed to the million-person city of Cologne, Germany.

In about half a month, the WRPO this year will also start in Cologne. In addition to local gamers, there are already e-sports players from all over the world coming here first.

The conference venue has been set up. It is a matrix-style indoor conference hall. There are giant screens on the front and left sides of the wall. There are 7 large giant screens in total, but the single screen directly in front is the largest. The internal seats can accommodate up to more than 2,200 people.

For Cologne, a city with a million people, such a venue is already very big.

However, the tickets were already sold out three days ago, and there are still many people who want to come to the scene but have no tickets.

As September 25 arrived as scheduled, players from all over 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.

There is a new first party in the global game industry. Whether it is the industry peers Sony, Microsoft and other international friends, it is very concerned about the host players.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Côte d'Azur's entry into the home game console market is definitely the first major event in the global game industry in 2010.

Early this morning, various media, guests and players who bought tickets arrived at the press conference.

Players were also very excited when they saw the third-party bosses of various games appearing at the press conference. They found that the people sitting in the front row of the press conference were all the bosses who were rarely seen.

A vice president of EA is here, the head of Ubisoft is here, the head of Capcom is here, the head of Koreme is here, the vice president of Square Enix is ​​here, Activision The head of the company is here.

The game companies represented by these bigwigs are the world’s top third-party game development companies so far. Players are familiar with "Assassin's Creed", "Resident Evil", "Final Fantasy", "Metal Gear Solid" and other game masterpieces. It comes from these game developers.

And the heads of several game companies acquired by Luo Sheng have all come, only Blizzard, which has nothing to do with home game consoles, has not come, and G Fat has also come.

In addition to these, competitors such as Sony, Sega, Nintendo, and Microsoft have also sent their own people to the front line to "spy on the enemy's situation", and the top executives are watching the progress of the conference in their respective offices or homes.

Although Luo Sheng seems to be a completely new player in the industry, rivals such as Sony really dare not take it lightly. Faced with a high-profile entry into the world's top 500 technology giants, it would be strange if they can't have an impact on the entire industry.

It is one thing to start the navy to sing bad news, but it is another thing to pay attention to it.

...

When the local time came to nine o'clock, the press conference was full of seats, and soon the bright lights were all turned off, some of the discussion also receded, and the audience looked forward.

A row of camera lights on the stage and its surroundings lighted up, followed by a piece of cyberpunk-style background music that was already familiar to the players at the scene. After two seconds, a scene was played on the big screen simultaneously.

It was the promotional video released earlier by the Côte d’Azur. The players at the scene had a strong feeling at this moment. This promotional video, which they had watched many times, was played again at the press conference but gave them a cinema-level audiovisual. feast.

"A good start!"

"This CG is really cool!"

"The effect on the scene is almost a rhythm."

"It's so sensible, it's worthy of a press conference played by high-tech companies, highlighting a high-end.

At this moment, when the promotional video is being shown, game players watching the live broadcast are also discussing it. The matrix-style conference hall plus the cool on-site lighting is indeed super sensational.

Almost four minutes later, the promotional video was finished, the ACC host’s exclusive logo was displayed on the big screen, and the lights in front of the stage turned on again.

The current overall light tone style of the entire conference hall is dark.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Luo!" The voice of a hostess came from the live sound effects.

After a while, the hot man walked onto the stage from behind the scenes.

"Wow~~"

Players and fans at the scene suddenly cheered and broke the quiet situation in the audience. The live reaction of this conference proved that Luo Sheng's influence is global, and 90% of the audience here are non-Chinese.

This year’s Côte d’Azur gave the outside world a sense of excitement like taking drugs. The big moves continued. The ieP tablet was launched in the first half of the year. ACC consoles were launched in the second half of the year. However, Azure mobile phones seem to have no new actions this year. It is estimated that there will be no big news on Azure mobile phones this year.

On the contrary, people in the mobile phone industry were inexplicably relieved. They were happy to see the industry leader go to explore other fields. Don't always focus on the smartphone industry to toss, it is very hard for friends to catch up.

"Good morning, thank you for your support. This is my first time to Europe and Germany. I love this land. Yesterday I went skiing in the Alps and almost missed today’s press conference. Plan B No one else will replace it." Luo Sheng finished a simple opening with a bright smile.

The audience also ushered in a burst of laughter.

The press conference is scheduled overseas, and Luo Sheng uses fluent English to start today's work.

"We will launch some exciting news today. During our internal testing phase, the ACC console has been enhanced in all aspects of the game experience compared to the consoles that have been released on the market, as you will see us today. The core of innovation lies."

Sony, Microsoft, and other first parties heard Luo Sheng's words so arrogantly that it was a toothache. You are a novice and jump like this when you come up, don't you give us old players a little bit of face?

But the toothache belongs to the toothache. It was Luo Sheng who said such big talk, and he had to pay attention to it, let's take a look at what it came from.

"Excellent engineering and technology has always been a proud tradition of the Côte d’Azur. The super hardware level of the company’s series of products is the best and most direct interpretation. ACC hosts will continue this tradition, but we I also know that success is not only dependent on the technology required by the next generation of home consoles, but also needs to re-examine the needs of the next generation of players."

At this moment, Luo Sheng paced back and forth calmly on the stage, and continued:

"Although we want to change the current gaming environment, players will also change us. From diversified games to participation in the game community, home consoles need to have multiple functions, and social media connections are already in demand for new home consoles. Obviously."

Hearing this, people in the industry were quite attentive. It was unexpected but reasonable. Everyone knew that Luo Sheng started his business by socializing.

"After discussing with many talented developers, we understand what they expect from the new console. The future we are building is not only a lot of innovations in the console, but also in all related products. Innovation and full immersion in the game give us a new enthusiasm for the game. We also have a deep understanding of what conditions are needed for ACC consoles to achieve extraordinary achievements."

The last thing people in the industry want to hear is that the word "renovation" comes out of Luo Sheng's mouth, especially those of international friends and businessmen in the industry.

"Today, we will lead everyone to appreciate the future of the game. This is a rethinking of the game. It is led by developers, inspired by players, and provided by the Blue Coast company with strong technical support."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng turned to the audience at the press conference: "We believe that the ACC host represents a major change. ACC is not a single home game console device, but the leader where the game is located. It is for players from all over the world. It is said that ACC is the best place to play games in the future. ACC will show extraordinary imagination and create a next-generation gaming experience that players can never imagine. Developers can also develop new business models."

"Today, we will announce some ideas for the future of the game, as well as the outlook for the game form that leads the change of the times. In the next time, we will show the new features of ACC and what new new features will it bring to players. Experience and some core concepts developed by ACC."

"Establish a long-term cooperative relationship with high-quality developers, a brand-new host with user experience at the core, and a faster socialization and personalized network to integrate entertainment into life in an unprecedented way."

"We firmly believe that success is not only dependent on a bunch of world-leading hardware technologies, but to redefine the way players want to play today and in the future. ACC is a device born on the basis of this concept, namely: Players bring a more diverse gaming experience."

Let's talk about it first.

I am afraid that only at the press conference hosted by Luo Sheng can hear such big talks, some keywords such as "unprecedented", "leading the world", "redefinition", etc., between the lines, it seems that ACC will surpass Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo. These veteran brands have become the new overlords of the industry.
