Technology Bigshot

The boring half-hour wait was finally over. As the entrance was about to open, the staff of the organizer shouted bilingually on the spot with a loudspeaker, "The exhibition is about to open, please enter the venue in an orderly manner according to the queuing order... ...the-is-abot-to-opehe-majority-of-pyers-line...”

The staff at the scene were sweating profusely. After the entrance of the exhibition was opened, they were relieved to see the orderly entry of tourists. There were too many tourists participating in the exhibition. The organizers were also very cautious when they were happy. This kind of large-scale event What the event is most afraid of is safety accidents, especially for groups like game enthusiasts, whose enthusiasm for their favorite games is not much weaker than those of fans. 【No pop-up window..】

Once the exhibition was opened, the next scene made the organizers stunned. A large number of people almost only walked in one direction. It was the exhibition area of ​​the five major game developers. There is no doubt that more than two-thirds of the people were Came for virtual games and perception helmets.

But the most embarrassing thing was the domestic game companies participating in the exhibition. The popularity was basically sucked away by the five major game companies, and the few remaining ones also went to the exhibition area of ​​Blizzard Entertainment and Easy Cooperation. Especially those companies that promote mobile games, the exhibition area is very cool, and the cos girls are all kinds of cute, but not many people care about it, except for a few dead houses who left a picture and are fart Run away, basically shabby and distressing.

"Look, there..."

"Wow! When will it open? I can't wait!"

When they first arrived at the exclusive exhibition area of ​​the five major game developers, everyone looked in one direction in unison. It was a very large and empty venue. Through the transparent glass windows, the internal facilities could be seen at a glance. Visitors saw only a few people inside. A few staff members, but all were hooked. Looking around, 8,000 perception helmets are placed neatly and orderly on rows of desktops, and there is a comfortable seat next to each set of equipment. Players who see this field shine brightly, and they can't wait to see it on the spot. Go in and experience it.

The legendary virtual game!

When queuing up to enter the exclusive exhibition area of ​​the five major game companies, there is an electronic device at the entrance, and a beautiful staff member stands beside the device.

not for a while. The team of Jack and Matthews in the queue finally came to the entrance. Jack looked at the equipment at the entrance curiously. After a while, a small paper ticket was spit out from a small mouth of the equipment, and the girl next to him immediately handed the paper ticket to the entrance. Give it to Jack, and said in fluent English with a smile: "Hello, this paper ticket will be your voucher to experience the virtual game, which is there..." The girl pointed to the venue in the transparent glass window next door, and added Dao: "The above content shows what time period and which device you will experience on... The admission voucher is only valid for this paper ticket, so remember to keep it safe!"

"Wow...thank you!"

"You're welcome……"

Jack immediately looked at the content on the small note,

Labeled in English and Chinese bilingual text.

"Round 5 in 7 hours, number 7899?" Jack murmured.

"I'm number 7900," Matthews said.

"We're in this together!"

"Wow~~! I didn't expect to be able to experience a full 50 minutes. It's so lovely." Jack looked at it.

Matthews put away the small note in his hand like a treasure, and looked around after entering the exhibition area, "Guys, where should we go? We have five divisions to go to, Komel? Square? Ubisoft ? Roberts? Or R Dingzhan District?"

"Uh... It seems like I want to go. Comile has "Tomb Raider", Square has "Final Fantasy", Ubisoft has "Assassin's Creed", Rock Star has "GTA", these are all games I like... …It’s really hard to choose wow~!”

"Having said that, but I have played the predecessors of these masterpieces, why not go to "Star Citizen" that I have never experienced before? Don't you expect it after 12 years of sharpening your sword?" Jack said suddenly.

"Great idea! This is my most anticipated original game, let's go there!"

Everyone immediately reached a consensus and walked towards the exhibition area of ​​"Star Citizen", that is, the Roberts exhibition area.

At the cj exhibition, the flow of people basically gathered in the exhibition area of ​​the five major game companies under Matrix Technology, which is the most popular, followed by the exhibition area of ​​Blizzard Entertainment and Yi cooperation, and the domestic companies that mainly focus on mobile games at the exhibition are basically no one cares. , shabby to death.

Jack and others soon came to the exclusive exhibition area of ​​"Star Citizen". A 1:1 model of a fighter plane was placed here at the entrance. The huge hull and the visual sense of the future were very shocking. Many tourists chose to take pictures. Jack Waiting for others will naturally not let it go.

At this moment, the "Star Citizen" section is conducting a developer forum. The game media and fans gathered together. There are more than 1,000 people at the scene, and there are no empty seats. Many people have no seats and stand aside.

On the stage, the legendary game designer Chris Roberts stood out. He initiated and led the production of the game "Star Citizen". After Roberts Studio was fully acquired by Matrix Technology at a high price, he also established Roberts Games developer company.

Roberts sat on the sofa, held a microphone and faced all the audience and the media, and said: "..."Star Citizen" started crowdfunding in 2013, and we have obtained the largest amount of crowdfunding in the industry, nearly 160 million US dollars. It's very exciting, which makes us developers confident, this is the best performance of all players' affirmation of us and expectations for this game, until today it has been 12 years, and about our death (crowdfunding scam ) There are countless reports, the outside world, especially the players, have high expectations for "Star Citizen", and we are also under pressure, but the so-called death reports are actually exaggerated..."

"The original platform of "Star Citizen" was positioned on the PC platform. We tried to create an exciting and epic space game, unprecedented, and the difficulties were also unprecedented. The development progress of the project team has always been slow, and players are increasingly believing rumors , but we still do not forget our original intention, we still firmly believe that the game development is not perfect..."

"Until three years ago, the company sent someone to visit the studio and told me that it expressed strong interest in our project and sent me an acquisition intention. Three years ago, basically "Star Citizen" was already at a fairly complete stage , but his intervention and commitment changed everything again."

"In the end, after intense discussions, we agreed to the acquisition. We were very sorry to cut off all the projects that were nearly 95% completed, and start everything from scratch. This meant that all of our 9-year efforts were negated by ourselves. It takes a lot of courage. Of course, support is essential. He promised to pay for all the investment of the studio in the past 9 years, and at the same time return all the crowdfunding funds of 160 million US dollars to all those who initiated crowdfunding donations, completely letting Roberts Studio To be an independent development company with no baggage, no promises and heavy capital injection, we would never have the courage."

"And when I came into contact with the 'virtual world' for the first time, to be precise, when our five major game developers first came into contact with the 'virtual world', I understood that pc is no longer the future, I am very happy We are lucky to have found us, otherwise all this would have been in vain.”

"After the establishment of the brand-new Roberts Company, the parent company injected up to 2 billion US dollars of liquidity into it. We have sufficient R\u0026D funds and can develop without any burden."
