Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

Chapter 319 Prehistoric Virtual Platform
The first beta test of "Sword Art Online" is over.

Netizens online were also outraged.

Just seven days.

This game has set off a virtual wave at home and abroad, and discussions about it are almost everywhere.

Just after the test ended, a large number of videos began to appear on the Internet, making netizens greedy.

The most popular one is the first-person video of conquering the Kobold Lord.

"So handsome! This boss battle is absolutely amazing!"

"Especially when I was fighting with swords and swords, my blood was really boiling. I felt like the sword was about to hit my face."

"Is this what it feels like to be on the scene and fight a boss? It looks so exciting."

"I really want to go in and play. This is the fantasy adventure world."

"I can't stand it. When will this game be launched?"

"Don't worry about it. Just serve it like this."

"Ah! Why didn't I get the test qualification?"

After watching the video, the audience cried.

I can't wait to run to the Honghuang headquarters now and grab a virtual helmet.

This time they were really sour.

I regret that I didn’t make the effort to pay.

The first beta period was okay, at least I could go to the live broadcast room to enjoy the experience.

But after the first test ended, no one could sit still. Even the first test players ran out and asked Honghuang when the next test would be.

Because only those who have played this game know how attractive it is to a player.

Say nothing else.

It’s just the attribute of being the world’s first virtual game.

It's enough to make countless people crazy.

This also led to.

Honghuang’s official account was almost destroyed.

When I clicked on it, I saw that they were all comments urging people to send blades online. In just one day, the number of likes and comments exceeded [-] million, reaching an unprecedented level.

And right now.

Honghuang has issued a new announcement.

Announce their current game development progress.

[Information that can currently be released]

[Panaraize (24th floor): The 24th floor is a lake floor that is mostly covered by water. The design and construction of the main block "Panaraize" is to build an artificial island in the middle of a huge lake, and then from the island Starting out, slender pontoons stretch out in all directions, connecting countless small islands. 】

[Defending boss: Siren Gal (a combination of Naga and octopus, with the ability to control tides, players who are good at naval battles are required to deal with it.)]

……

[Florya (Floor 47): This floor is called the "Flower Garden". Not only the street, but the entire floor is covered with flowers.In the labyrinth outside the circle in the south, a small bridge crosses the river to reach the hill. The road continues around the hill to the top of the hill. The flower of life blooming on the top of the hill is an important prop that can resurrect the familiar. 】

[Boss on the defensive floor: Frelia (a terrifying monster mutated from the flower demon, with vines all over the maze. It is beautiful and charming, and has a powerful effect of psyching out enemies.)]

Two pieces of floor information are also attached with two screenshots.

Especially the second screenshot of the Flower Garden instantly hit the hearts of countless female netizens.

"Wow! What a beautiful sea of ​​flowers!"

"The name is so beautiful too!"

"Is this a scene that will appear in the game?"

“Is it possible to experience this sea of ​​flowers in virtual games?”

"If I could live there, my life would be worth it!"

The endless sea of ​​flowers in the screenshot, as well as the petals flying in the air, are definitely a killer for girls.

Those female netizens who were just casually watching and not playing games have become very interested in this game.

And they also noticed that there was only two words difference between the name of the 47th floor and the name of the boss guarding the floor.

I couldn't help but conjure up a series of sad and sad stories in my mind.

For example, the flower spirit girl sacrificed her life to save her lover, but was betrayed by her lover. She eventually became a flower demon and was trapped in a high tower with resentment.

Another example is that two sisters were originally elves in the sea of ​​flowers, but fell in love with the same person at the same time. Due to various misunderstandings, they eventually embarked on opposite paths.

In short, the emphasis is on romance.

In contrast.

Ordinary players pay more attention to the information revealed by the floor introduction.

"Good guy, we've actually reached the 47th floor!"

"Why don't you serve it up quickly and start testing?"

"The 24th floor of the water world, I am most afraid of the deep sea!"

"A combination of naga and octopus, playing with tentacles?"

"What I'm more concerned about is the familiar mentioned on the 47th floor. Can the succubus be captured and used as a familiar?"

"I prefer the insect girl."

"Huh? Something is wrong with you."

The two-floor messages sent by Honghuang once again sparked a lot of discussion.

Anyone who has read the original work will know that each floor of Aincrad has a different geographical landscape, which can be called a huge virtual world.

Every time you go up a level, it's like starting a new adventure.

It's very attractive to players.

At the same time, he was even more impressed that the prehistoric virtual technology had reached such a mature stage.

This makes other major manufacturers even more anxious.

Immediately increase the progress of research and development to ensure that you can produce your own virtual equipment as soon as possible.

For them, time is life.

Whoever can take the lead in establishing an advantage on a rapidly rising virtual track will have more say in the future.

Now that the first family has been taken over by Honghuang, it is naturally impossible to give up the name of the second family.

"Smash it hard! Money is not an issue. As long as we develop it one step ahead of other competitors, we will have a share of this huge virtual market!"

In the R&D departments of major manufacturers, people are coming and going, and they are in full swing, conducting technical analysis on the newly acquired first-generation helmets.

however.

They found that they still underestimated the difficulty of dismantling this technology.

For a whole week.

Only a small part of the basic hardware has been disassembled, and it is almost impossible to obtain the core technology.

So they had to find another way.

Relying on the data information in hand and the hardware information obtained by disassembly, huge sums of money are spent on independent development.

By then, the level of realism may not be as good as it was before, but it will be far ahead of other manufacturers.

at this point.

Chen Lin, who was living in a prehistoric period, could naturally imagine it.

At this time, we also quickly deployed manpower to summarize and improve the information returned from this test.

"Based on the information provided by those players, it has been basically determined that the quality of sleep during gaming is linked to the degree of simulation. The higher the degree of simulation, the closer it is to deep sleep."

Within the R&D department.The employee in charge of data collection said to Chen Lin.

"In other words, if the degree of realism is only [-] to [-]%, it is only equivalent to light sleep?"

Chen Lin was a little surprised. This was the first time he knew such a thing.

After all, he has just started to come into contact with virtual technology.

"Yes."

The employee nodded and scratched his finger on the tablet: "According to statistics, the fidelity of our "prehistoric generation" has reached 70%, which is just enough to ensure basic sleep and can start production."

"70%?"

Chen Lin's eyes lit up, this was much higher than he expected.

You must know that the degree of simulation becomes more and more difficult to improve as you progress to the later stage. Even if you sleep normally, the deep sleep time is only about two hours.

It’s pretty good to be able to achieve a basic level of sleep right from the start.

And the 70% degree of fidelity is not much different from reality.

Because no one can stay 100% alert all day long.

"Very good, let's make arrangements and start mass production. Our promotion plan should also be put on the agenda. We must occupy the high ground before other manufacturers."

"OK, I'll make arrangements right away."

The employee responded and turned to leave.

After half an hour.

A piece of news that shocked the entire internet.

Appears below Honghuang's official account.

[Honghuang Studio (official): After countless days and nights of research and development, the fidelity of the "Honghuang Generation" virtual helmet has reached 70% and can operate stably. 】

[At the same time, the world's first virtual game platform "Honghuang" has been created. You can upload your own works for sale, and the platform will take a commission to create the second world with us! 】

The announcement is only a little over 100 words long.

But as soon as it was posted, the entire Internet exploded.

Virtual platform!

Honghuang actually created a virtual platform!
"WTF? What do you mean?"

"Honghuang wants to build a gaming platform like Steam?"

"Damn it! Wouldn't it be possible to play various virtual games on the prehistoric platform in the future?"

"70% realism, what is this concept?"

"It is said that the research and development progress of other major manufacturers is less than 10%."

"Hiss! So fierce?"

Netizens were shocked.

Manufacturers were also shocked.

None of them expected that Honghuang would be so generous and create a virtual platform directly.

No wonder it dared to confront Nintendo head-on and publicly announced its withdrawal from the console platform.

What kind of withdrawal is this?

It simply flipped the table of the console directly.

Because the host machine and the virtual helmet both require additional equipment support.

The virtual helmet is equivalent to a superior replacement of the console, and it is an inferior one.

Just because it can replace sleep time, the host has no possibility of competition in the face of virtualization!
By then, the virtual industry will probably completely replace the console, forming a new three-way world situation with PCs and mobile phones!
As for how much proportion it can occupy.

It depends on the future development of the virtual industry.

"Honghuang's kick was really cruel. It hit Ren Tian's main artery."

"It's not just about the aorta, it's a good thing if I don't kick him to death."

“I’m afraid the gaming industry is going to change in the future.”

The major game manufacturers were happy to hear this and did not sympathize with Nintendo because of this.

After all, they usually make things difficult for each other.

Anyway, it’s just a change of platform.

Moreover, everyone has seen the rise of the virtual industry, which contains huge potential that far exceeds that of consoles. It is too late for them to get excited.

Many people who are unable to develop virtual devices have impatiently sent people to the Honghuang headquarters to discuss cooperation and sharing.

Then we geared up to discuss the project.

Prepare to develop your own first virtual game and occupy a place in this emerging industry.

……

at the same time.

Nintendo headquarters far away in Neon Country.

"boom!!"

A loud noise echoed in the conference room.

Furukawa sat in the front seat with a livid face, looking at the report just submitted by his subordinates.

He never expected that Honghuang would be the first to create a virtual game platform.

If we say that the previous prehistoric era was just a game company, it was unable to shake the behemoth that they were, Nintendo.

The current prehistoric situation has undoubtedly stepped on their lifeline, so how can he not be angry.

"President, what should we do now? If this continues, the entire console market will be unsustainable."

A senior executive below couldn't help but said.

As early as the emergence of virtual technology, they expected that the host would be replaced, and they made preparations early and invested a lot of money in research and development.

But after all.

Still a step behind.

"I think the only way is to talk to Honghuang. There is nothing that interests cannot solve." Someone immediately spoke.

"Hmph! Let us bow our heads. What will people outside think of us? You are trampling on the dignity of the group!"

"Akita-san, do you think your dignity is more important, or our overall interests?"

"I also agree with what senior said, now is not the time to think about face."

"If I were you, I would commit suicide in shame!"

"What do you mean by that!?"

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the conference room was quarreling fiercely. Everyone had different opinions, and they seemed to be refusing to give in to anyone.

"All right!"

Furukawa banged his fist on the table.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat and they immediately closed their mouths.

The noisy conference room gradually became quiet.

"Go ahead and invest more in the research and development of virtual technology. No matter what, we must have a finished product before this year. Although Honghuang has the upper hand, it will take time to develop. With the financial resources of the group, we can catch up! "

After speaking in a deep voice, Furukawa stood up and left the conference room, leaving everyone looking at each other.

finally.

The peacemakers sighed, their eyes full of worry.

Can they really wait until that time?
