Back To 1995

   Chapter 587 The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves

   Looking at the reaction at the booth, G Fatty was very satisfied. As for the open source code, allowing players to freely develop MOD by themselves, G Fatty has thought about it for a long time, and got Song Yang's consent.

   Blocking is worse than sparse, the game is cracked, it is a matter of time, like "StarCraft", which has done so much anti-theft, and now piracy has begun to appear, as long as it is profitable, the gang of second-tier dealers and scalpers can do anything.

  G Fatty really likes games. "Half-Life" is the first game of V Club. He recognizes how many games it can sell. As long as it can attract more users, it is enough for V Club!

As for releasing the open source code and letting players develop Half-Life MODs, G Fatt also kept a hand, that is, these MOD games developed based on "Half-Life", V Club automatically obtains the agency sales rights for them, that is, V The society has the right to take these MOD games to sell, and then share!

The current G-fat still wants to expand the influence of "Half-Life". As for the MOD of "Half-Life", there will be games like CS. He has not thought about it, or will not even think about it. I can still encounter such a good thing, the MOD game sells better than the original...

The rhythm of the Half-Life game is very fast. Cameron came up and tried it out. The new game experience has a strong sense of shooting. Compared with the shooting games that Cameron played before, it feels much stronger. .

  Cameron would like to experience it for a while, but the buddies in the back are all eyeing, and Cameron can only experience one level before he ends.

Leaving the booth of Valve, Cameron went to the booths of several other game studios under Xue Leshan, but in addition to Valve and R Star, other well-known ones, namely Sega and Id Game Studio, Sega's The console and the game still attract the attention of many game fans.

The two Sega were also on the scene and announced new plans. Sega is working with SNK to develop new arcade and console games. Several plans have been announced, including The King of Fighters, Sonic, and a new game.” like a dragon" etc.

  The president of America Sega, Peter Moore, came to the scene and also announced to the players present that America Sega will work with Microsoft to develop a new generation of game console XBOX console!

  Peter Moore claimed that this game is to develop an epic game console regardless of cost, and to support a series of games...

Cameron leaned on the impassioned Peter Moore on the stage, but he had a little more expectation. There is no other reason. The key is that Microsoft, which invested in the XBOX console, is really not bad money. This console will also be named Microsoft, Microsoft In order not to lose face, they will definitely throw money at death. At that time, the entire host industry may have another **** storm.

The more aggressive the console industry is, the happier Cameron will be. Now that Sony's consoles are dominant, they continue to raise prices and sell them more and more expensively. Only when Sega, Sony, and Nintendo's three dog brains are broken, the console The price will continue to drop. Maybe you can buy a console for 298 dollars at that time, instead of 498 dollars to buy one now, without many games!

The exhibition area of ​​Xue Leshan is very large, but along the way, Cameron is familiar with only a few. The rest of the game manufacturers such as Xishanju, Target Games, Nexon, NCsoft, Actoz are all emerging game manufacturers. It is really difficult to attract the attention of Cameron, a veteran of the game, without any masterpieces.

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 and R Star, and it has more space than Nintendo, Sony, Activision and other booths. There are so many. Cameron looked at Blizzard's LOGO on the booth and could only sigh. He really deserves to be the son of Xue Leshan, and the noodles are really good!

  Blizzard's exhibition area is actually divided into two exhibition areas, one is Blizzard's own game exhibition, and the other is jointly organized with the TGA organizer, the booth of the temporary exhibition competition of StarCraft professional e-sports.

  The two exhibition areas are together, and it seems that the Blizzard exhibition area is several times larger than the other exhibition areas.

   On the e-sports side, there are still more than 200 seats set up in the debugging equipment, which are already full, and there are still a crowd of people watching the lively around.

Who would have thought that the world's first professional e-sports competition was held in such a place, and the participants were a group of teenagers, divided into red and blue on both sides, all sitting in the exhibition area. , less than three or four meters apart from each other.

This thing, a player in a certain DOTA competition area with the respected name "Roaring Tianzun" is probably the most familiar. There is no soundproof room. When playing a game, you can not only compete with your opponent's skills, but also voice output. Being able to taunt the opponent in a frantic voice, making the ridiculed opponent blurry and incompetent, this is a serious offline PK.

   Of course, this also requires strength, not only the game is good, but also the physique. Otherwise, after a game, it is estimated that the opponent will be beaten into the ICU.

Cameron is already familiar with Blizzard's games, Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft, all of which Cameron paid for. After looking around, Cameron didn't see the Blizzard trio , to Cameron quite a bit regretful.

He is also going to ask for the signatures of the Blizzard Zhang trio for the hundreds of thousands of brothers on the IGN forum, and by the way, ask their home address, when will they send them a batch of souvenirs, what kind of blades, and ask them about the new game, what exactly is it? When can you come out!

Blizzard's pie is still very well-painted. Cameron saw that Blizzard announced that it would launch "Warcraft 3" and "Diablo 2". There is also an online game "World of Warcraft".

This cake is big and round, very tempting, but Cameron doesn't know when it will be eaten. Anyway, these new games don't even have a shadow, let alone experience and try it out. Before the film was released, I knew how far Blizzard had developed these new games.

There was a commotion in the e-sports exhibition area over there. Cameron went over and saw that a lot of cameras had been set up at the scene. Dozens of media broadcast the TGA Awards Ceremony had already run over to take pictures of the show. A moment in gaming history.

  ICQ, ICNC TV, and Xue Leshan online game platform will broadcast this e-sports exhibition live!

  Cameron has seen how "quasi" professional players play StarCraft through many video clips before, but watching it live is a completely different experience.

These e-sports players participating in the exhibition match are actually members of a newly formed e-sports club in Xue Leshan. In order to avoid suspicion, they did not put the names of Xue Leshan and Blizzard, but they are actually the world's first professional team established by Xue Leshan. The e-sports club, the members of the game on the field, are the first team and the substitute of this e-sports club.

  There are 200 seats, which is difficult to meet the demand. There is a large audience around. The young players on the field are stunned by so many cameras, and the noise of the scene makes them obviously a little nervous.

The entire exhibition game is divided into 1V1 and 3V3. The whole game is a bit of a grass-roots team's understanding. From the on-site arrangement, to the host, commentator, director, on-site equipment, etc., it is a bit scribbled, but for the countless game fans present. For them, watching this exhibition match, I am afraid it is an experience of a game coming to reality. Regardless of how the game is, this game may never be forgotten for a lifetime!

It was a 1V1 first. After the game started, when I saw two professional players on the field, they really used decentralized mining. At a hand speed of 300 operations per minute, when the game started, Cameron played "Interstellar" with a group of people. Hegemony" players all stared at the screen that was live streaming the game on the booth.

When both sides of the game had the resources and started to show the operation, a large number of screams suddenly sounded in the entire e-sports exhibition area. Cameron looked at the operations and various tactics that he didn't even dare to think about. I couldn't help but scream. There were all kinds of American slang and scolding at the scene, but this was not scolding the players, but too excited. In China, it is estimated that the comment area is full of "Niu Bi" at this time. .

   On the ICNC website and Xue Leshan online platform where the game is being broadcast, the number of users has quickly exceeded 300,000, and the various comments below are flying up.

When he walked out of the Coliseum, Cameron was still reminiscing about that game. Although it was an exhibition game, 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. On that side, even if it was an exhibition match, it was also the world's first professional e-sports competition!

  The audience watching the game, including Cameron's emotions, was also mobilized by the players' actions. 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, took advantage of the spring breeze of the Internet to appear on major websites around the world. If there are Baidu hot searches, Google hot words, etc. at this time , the search for e-sports competitions definitely ranks first!

Game fans around the world have had countless discussions about the "StarCraft" e-sports competition. On ICQ, groups about e-sports competitions have also sprung up. There is no interest, but instead, he is very interested in game competitions, and the idea of ​​becoming a professional e-sports player has also begun to appear among the new generation of game fans.

  Like e-sports competitions, there are those games that appeared in the TGA game exhibition today, and they are even wildly spread on IGN forums and Yahoo.

   "Grand Theft Auto will definitely be a masterpiece in game history!"

   "Half-Life, redefine FPS games!"

   "Thor's Hammer 2, the legend continues!"
