Global monopoly of technology

"OMG!!!"

"VR equipment is simply insulting the immersive experience. This is the real immersive experience. The five senses are exactly the same as the real world!!!" Richard muttered to himself excitedly.

A player passing by saw his excitement and couldn't help but complain: "There are a lot of newbies here today. They are still foreigners. I like the appearance of these foreigners who have never seen the world before."

After the excitement, Richard finally remembered the audience waiting outside to watch the live broadcast. Then he opened the tracking video software provided by the Riviera in the game and locked his first perspective.

In this way, the video is recorded in the game world, and then transmitted through the live broadcast platform to connect to the external network in a video format. The virtual Internet and the traditional Internet are not two independent worlds, but are essentially digital worlds that can be interconnected.

"Everyone, I'm back. This is the game world of Zhuzi Baijia. Yes, the video screen you see is the live scene of the game world. Believe me, you can't imagine Donais if you don't experience it yourself..."

"OK, I don't know exactly how to play, let's take a look at the strategy."

Luoyang City is a novice village. Richard doesn't have to worry about being yawned by others, so he can boldly call up a holographic panel. He subconsciously opened the Google search site and found that it cannot be used.

I had no choice but to search for Yunge, a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology.

In the traditional Internet field, Google is a monopoly on search engines, and Luo Sheng can’t help it, but it’s embarrassing to re-establish a virtual ecosystem in a brand-new virtual world. In a sense, it’s just getting started. Come in?What a joke.

Maybe this is an opportunity to pull Google from the search engine market.

Richard clicked on a guide and took a look, and he suddenly realized that for the audience watching the live broadcast: "It turns out that it is. The NPCs in the game are highly intelligent, but they are all locked in the intelligent core. Tell them about the game. Things outside of the world will be unresponsive, it is beyond their cognitive scope, they will not understand or understand at all, understand, play games pay attention to the atmosphere...

At this moment, Richard saw that a task window panel popped up and said: "Task goal, choose to join a sect in Luoyang City... OK, let's start exploring, first join a gang organization or something."

Richard started shopping in Luoyang City while listening to the system voice to understand the background world view of the game.

[A hundred schools of thought are recruiting disciples in this city of Luoyang, worshiping famous people and becoming a generation of heroes]

Richard watched with interest the introduction of the various schools of thought, and he could choose to join one of the many schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Soldiers, Yin and Yang, political strategists, famous experts, peasants, and medical schools.

In the end, Richard chose to join the Yin Yang family, and after joining the martial art, he was able to leave Luoyang City in Novice Village.

Richard was taken away by the NPC of the Yin and Yang family. Other players who entered the game world also chose the martial arts they wanted to join and left the novice village. Of course, some people chose to have no school and no faction, as a ranger. Rush in the arena.

...

The background data of the operator of "Hundred Scholars" shows that the number of online games has broken a new high. As the days go by, virtual brains continue to be sold to consumers, and virtual Internet cafes cost an average of 10 The increase in number is also accompanied by an increase in a series of data.

Today, the number of online users of the virtual online game "Hundred Scholars" has exceeded the 1 million mark for the first time. It is by far the most popular virtual game.

Even in the field of traditional Internet, there is rarely a PC online game with online users exceeding the million mark. Games that can achieve this result are huge commercial successes.

And "Hundred Scholars" is obviously much more than that. You must know that the user base of the traditional Internet is 780 million, while the number of virtual Internet users so far is less than 8 million, which is equivalent to one out of every eight people playing. This game, it is conceivable that this result is quite eye-catching.

Once the scale of virtual Internet users is up, it is a phenomenal game with tens of millions of online users.

The success of this game is inevitable. Standing on the vent of the virtual world, even if it is badly produced, it can take off. Moreover, Tianji Digital has invested tens of billions of yuan to develop it, which seems to represent the new peak of domestic games.

...

At the same time, in a conference hall at the headquarters of the Cote d'Azur, the global executive vice presidents of the world's top third-party game developers brought their teams to the meeting.

The person who presided over this meeting was Gao Hua, the top person in charge of the virtual brain-computer project.

"...First of all, I would like to share a good news with you. The virtual brain machine has obtained the permission to enter the Japanese and South Korean regions. I believe that with the addition of the Japanese and South Korean markets, the entire virtual Internet ecosystem will be expanded quite well. Everyone is good."

The participating game developers all congratulated symbolically. The birth of new things like virtual brains has brought the global game industry to a new crossroads, and the big wave of technological change will be eliminated. This is Every practitioner in the game industry has a consensus.

Fortunately, everyone is used to it. After all, when the ACC host was released by the Blue Coast, it was the top of the world's top three first parties. From now on, it will depend on the face of the platform business father.

Half of the third-party game developers who come here are subsidiaries of Bluestar Technology, such as R Star, 2k, Riot Games, Blizzard, and Polish Donkey.

Bluestar Technology is still one of Ubisoft’s major shareholders. Back then, Luo Sheng helped Ubisoft get it out of Vivendi’s hands. It was Ubisoft who came to help. There was no such deal from Luo Sheng. Investing in life-saving money, Ubisoft now may have been maliciously acquired by Vivendi and then harmed.

"Before this, I have received your wishes, but the user base of the virtual Internet has not yet risen. It may not be a good thing to compete for the first release. Some works have not been able to land in the Greater China market." Gao Hua said and looked towards The vice president of R Star added: "It is basically impossible for "GTA6" to be listed in the Greater China market. Before the global market is opened, it is not suitable for large-scale release of new works."

Ubisoft’s vice president asked directly: "Mr. Gao, what works does your company plan to release this year? There should be an answer already?"

Everyone wants to be the first mover. The first mover advantage is self-evident. Although there are not many virtual Internet users now, their own games have accumulated a huge number of fans. In this trend, they cannot be sold now. How many copies, but I will make up for what I need to buy.

R Star’s "GTA5" has been sold for many years, and it is still on sale now, and the sales are still quite strong.

What really reassures third parties is that virtual Internet basically does not have the problem of piracy and leakage. If you want to play, you have to pay to consume genuine products, so the basic disk is there, the work is not too bad, and the developers are basically not afraid of losing money eventually. money.

But the launch is not a matter for third-party game developers to have the final say, but the Côte d’Azur as the platform side.

Gao Hua flipped through the paper documents in his hand and said, “Of course, it’s clear that all arrangements have been made to keep the frequency of launching a new work in one month to go on the market one after another. In June, Blizzard Entertainment’s "World of Warcraft" will be released in July. "Final Fantasy" by Square will be released, "Red Dead Redemption 2" by R star will be released in August, "Cyberpunk 2077" by CDPR will be released in September, "Assassin's Creed" by Ubisoft will be released in October, November The release of Valve’s "Counter-Strike" and Capcom’s "Resident Evil" in December... the above seven games are the arrangements for this year."

The third-party game developers who were "flopped" secretly cheered, this year, as the first year of the virtual Internet era, finally grabbed the first release.

The games that have been named have been produced three or four years ago. In fact, they knew the arrival of the virtual Internet ahead of most people, so they have been developing and transforming vigorously in order to be able to stand on the front line. , Even if you are not one step ahead of your competitors, you cannot lag behind.

The vice president of Activision Entertainment asked a little anxiously: "Mr. Gao, why is there no single-camera FPS?"

The implication is, why didn't you arrange for "Call of Duty" under Activision?This is a phenomenal masterpiece of FPS games.

Activision Entertainment has spent $768 million to develop a virtual immersive version of "Call of Duty".

Gao Hua said calmly: "The core of the plot of "Call of Duty" declares the so-called universal value that praises Magnesium. Players in China don't eat this set very much. Either you go back to the stove and recreate it, or Let’s wait for the virtual brain to open up the European and American markets. Two of the previous games that have passed the review also have some ideological issues, but the problem is not big.

Everyone's heart was stunned, "Call of Duty" is the rhythm of the azure coast?Activision is a bit miserable.

Gao Hua looked around everyone and added: "Everyone, I hope you understand that if you want to make money from Chinese players, don’t carry some private goods in it, don’t scold customers while making money, and don’t forget about virtual reality. The brain computer is a man-made product of China."

"The Côte d'Azur may not be absolutely guaranteed to win a game, but it is 100% sure that a game will never reach players."
