Back To 1995

   Chapter 586

  Cameron has never participated in the E3 game show and the Tokyo Game Show. He just saw the reports of these two game shows on the forum. He has some expectations for these two game shows, but he didn't expect too much.

But today, watching the game exchange exhibition held by TGA, the influx of so many players surprised Cameron. Even from time to time, he heard cheers from time to time in the exhibition hall. He didn't know what was inside. What happened to make the atmosphere so warm.

Entering the exhibition hall, Cameron saw the logos and booths of various game manufacturers. He has played countless games and is very familiar with these logos, but this is the first time he has seen the logos of these game companies in real life. figure.

In front of the major booths, there are countless people gathered, especially in front of the booths of old game manufacturers such as Nintendo, Sony, and Ubisoft. They are all very popular. The American people don't mention how they feel about Japanese benzene, but they have no idea about the experience of Japanese benzene games. The development in America for more than ten years has already been accepted by the American people.

In front of Nintendo's booth, there were so many people gathered that Cameron couldn't squeeze in. He could only hear the sound. He seemed to be promoting Nintendo's next-generation game console, the GBA. The GBA concept version of the handheld was displayed on site. It is about the same size as the current mainstream mobile phone, uses a color screen, and supports "Pokémon" games!

  The game fans who gathered at the scene were basically waiting for this sentence. When the person in charge of Nintendo said this, there was a burst of cheers.

Nintendo's current host is N64, and it can't beat Sony's PS2, but it is much better than Sega's days. In the handheld industry, Nintendo is a rare competitor. Every generation of Nintendo handhelds can sell tens of millions of units. .

   "Nintendo's next-generation game console will be NGC. Nintendo guarantees that this game console will be a completely new console design!"

For this point, the following game fans did not respond strongly. In the past few years, the console industry belongs to the era of Sony PS, and it is overwhelming the first generation of consoles. Nintendo can earn US dollars for consoles, but it is difficult to overturn the era of Sony PS consoles. Nintendo N64 focused on the improvement of the gamepad and made epoch-making changes, analogous to remote sensing, trigger buttons, vibration packs, etc., which brought the game experience into a new era.

  These changes are indeed amazing to gamers, but they still can't sell Sony PS consoles.

   "Will the Nintendo NGC console support game discs?"

   I don't know if it's a game manufacturer or a player, and asked the director of Nintendo. This sentence attracted everyone's attention, and Cameron also pricked up his ears.

  Yesterday, Song Yang told Arakawa that Yamauchi was old, but he was not mocking Yamauchi, but as the head of Nintendo, Yamauchi really couldn't keep up with the trend.

Just like the Nintendo N64 console, which does not support game discs now, it still uses the old-fashioned cassettes, and now the games are interspersed with animation and movie footage, and the cassettes are used. , any old head iron to use the game cartridge.

Sony's ability to become the leader of the console industry is one aspect of its strength, but it's not a matter of luck. Sega is in turmoil. It only has console hardware and no games in its eyes. It was killed by Sony. Nintendo is under the management headed by Yamauchi. It has fallen behind, and the developed host is difficult to compare with Sony.

  Sega and Nintendo have made a fool of themselves. As for other console brands, such as Nangong Meng and Atari, they can't shake Sony's position at all. Sony is not the boss of the console industry.

   Hearing the question from the scene, the director of Nintendo did not answer directly, but said with a smile, "Perhaps, everyone can have more expectations for Nintendo!"

   Hearing that this is not the answer, there was finally cheers in front of Nintendo's booth.

After eating a meal of melon, Cameron went to other game booths. What Cameron did not expect was that there were many cospaly in the game, Japanese benzene two-dimensional animation game characters, European Lolita, brother Special style, etc. Cameron saw a lot of familiar characters in the game at the scene, including Pikachu, Mario, Yagami An in the boxing champion and many other game characters.

Some of the characters in these games are very similar, while others are so sharp-eyed that even Cameron can guess. Those who are similar are probably not played by people invited by the organizer and the game manufacturer. As for the others Yes, it is the real game ashes.

In addition to the cospaly of these game characters, there are also many live performances in the warm-up field. Several girls dressed as characters in the game danced on the spot. I saw a group of people surrounded by the third floor and the third floor under the booth. , Cameron secretly scolded this group of people, whether they were watching the game or the girls, but he couldn't help but look at the booth. He had to sigh with emotion, the TGA official's vision for selecting girls is really good...

Los Angeles has Hollywood, attracting girls from all over the world who want to become famous. It is not difficult for TGA to choose some girls to perform. A lot higher.

In addition to dancing, there are also violin performances, ballet and other performances. Xue Leshan spent a lot of money. The stage design team hired people from Broadway. The performers were hired by the Art Troupe of Chicago. Bigger is definitely online. , at least Cameron, who doesn't know much about art, also feels that these performances are a bit taller!

Cameron turned around most of the exhibition area. In addition to performing, he also saw a lot of new games and new game equipment. There were also many famous game designers at the scene. If there were not too many people, Cameron would also like to go there. Want a signature.

   Until he came to the game exhibition area of ​​Xue Leshan, Cameron saw that the exhibition area of ​​Xue Leshan actually occupied one-fifth of the exhibition hall. This was not Xue Leshan's intention, but it had too many game brands.

Cameron glanced at it, and all the game brands he didn't know appeared in front of him, such as Blizzard, Valve, Rockstar, Id Games, Sammy, Sega, SNK, Nexon, NCsoft, Actoz, Xishanju, etc. Brand, the Cameron look is dazzling.

   In several of the booths, there were a lot of people gathered in the dark pressure, and there were bursts of voices from time to time. Before Cameron came, he had already done his homework and went straight to the R-star booth.

  Cameron has been on the IGN forum more than once. He heard good luck and some players who participated in the "Grand Theft Auto" closed beta.

   Cameron saw players one after another, waiting for the trial play. Cursing and cheering sounded from time to time. Compared with other game booths in the exhibition hall, the atmosphere was much warmer.

   leaned forward, Cameron saw a game trial playing, when he saw the screen on the game, Cameron couldn't take his eyes off, there was only one thought in his mind, can the game still be played like this?

Completely free to explore, there are no rules and constraints, and even the gameplay of the game itself is to break the rules and order, unbridled venting of anger in the game, and even cheating devices. Cameron never thought that he would There's this "Dark" game out there.

Just looking at the group of people on the R Star booth, Cameron could think that this game may have scratched the itch in many people's hearts. There are not many men who can refuse this game, even if it is a game. Cameron himself!

He glanced at "Grand Theft Auto" reluctantly, and looked at the group of people around him. Cameron didn't know if it would be his turn to try the game when the museum was closed. Lun knows that as long as "Grand Theft Auto" is released, he will definitely be the first to buy it, or even make a reservation, and he is willing to pay the full amount, not to mention $59, and the scalpers will increase the price by $159, so he probably won't hesitate to leave. I can buy it!

  The atmosphere on V Club is even hotter. It is also a group of people who are watching the "Half-Life" game in full swing, waiting to try it out.

   The "Half-Life" on the booth only released one chapter, but the plot, game picture quality, AI, and the connection mode where several players are playing against each other have never appeared in shooting games before.

Looking at the "Half-Life" game in front of him, Cameron couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He wanted to show his "technique". This kind of game that competes with manipulative skills is inevitable for those who watch it. The person who plays is too bad, I am better than him...

   When Cameron was fascinated by it, he saw Fat G, who was not too fat. He picked up the microphone and said to the crowd present.

   "What everyone sees now is the Half-Life Team Fortress expansion. When Half-Life is released, the Valve game will release the source code. If you are interested, you can make your own Half-Life MOD.

   Of course, MOD games developed based on "Half-Life" can only be placed on the Xue Leshan online platform. If there are sales, the developers will work with Valve to get the benefits of this MOD! "

  Today, many of the people who came to the game show are game ashes. I haven't seen any routines, but they still opened their eyes today. R Star and V Club, the two humming two generals under Xue Leshan, one is outrageous.

One is a game developed, which is completely deviant and has cheat codes. The other seems to be normal, but the source code is released. Other game makers are not trying their best to guard against it, or they are afraid of being cracked. Is "Half-Life" the opposite?

Cameron doesn't know how to develop MOD, but seeing many people around him, he is a little bit eager to play. What is the highest state of playing games? It's not according to the set designed by the game developer, but he made one himself to prove himself. Know the game better than the original developer!
