Chapter 124 The picture of the next era

I got Jester's answer. Although it was not what they wanted to hear the most, it was better than nothing, so the audience in the audience calmed down temporarily. Obviously, after reciprocating, they also agreed to Jester's request. Without any accidents, they would not continue to confront him for the time being, so that his press conference could not continue normally.

Jester was also very satisfied with this. He made a gesture to the staff behind him, and then several employees of Mars Entertainment pushed a computer that looked a little different from each other to Jester.

The audience in the audience once again became puzzled. It would be fine if you didn’t demonstrate the game at a good launch conference. Why did you even push a computer? Is it because Mars Entertainment is also preparing to sell computers? Or... will they launch brand new computer games?

The moment Jester started the computer, many similar ideas suddenly popped up in the minds of countless players on the scene.

So is it a computer, a computer game, or both? Everyone is looking forward to it.

He Guoyuan specially asked someone to assemble this computer. Although the hardware used is not the best now, it is also at the highest level, such as a 20m hard drive, a sixteen-bit CPU, a sixteen-digit graphics card, a seventeen-inch monitor, etc.

However, because time is rushed and there is a problem of testing hardware compatibility, the appearance of this computer has not been specially modified, and even many circuit components are exposed naked, making it look less beautiful.

However, this was originally just used to demonstrate graphics cards, so Jester didn't care much. Moreover, when he was discussing with He Guoyuan about the high-end computer brand they were preparing to launch, he basically reached a consensus. The design and sales strategy were also very different from when he had this idea at the beginning, that is, the closedness proposed by Jester.

After repeated persuasion from Jester, He Guoyuan also agreed to Jester's proposal.

As for why they proposed closedness, it is a very simple reason. It is because the target group of high-end gaming computers they are going to make will be very niche. Because the price is too high, only true love will buy it, so that they can make the brand of this computer very high and don’t care about other people’s ideas.

Then, he can give these people a reason to buy their expensive computers: only by using our computers and our systems can we play our computer games.

Of course, these cannot be stated explicitly.

Now what he wants to do is just let the fanatical players below the platform know. We have a huge graphics card, and we can use this graphics card to create huge games.

However, the time is still short, so it is obvious that they cannot have their own operating system.

The operating system, especially the graphics operating system, is still in its infancy, but it is not a matter of overnight development to do it by yourself, so temporarily can only use the ibm compatible system to temporarily replace it. After the signal of this computer was connected to the large screen behind, Jester entered Dos through the instructions and selected a startup program, but he did not press Enter, but turned around and faced the audience below.

In the eyes of everyone's doubts, curiosity, expectation, etc., Jester began to explain what he was going to do.

"I know everyone is curious why I moved such a broken computer to give a demonstration instead of doing what you game companies or designers should do the most - the first game on your own new home game console. I said that the demonstration wasted time, but now you still have to demonstrate. Isn't this putting the cart before?" As soon as Jester finished speaking, the audience who felt a little indignant about what he said before that they would not demonstrate their new game at this press conference. He suddenly laughed knowingly.

Jester couldn't help but smile. He licked his lips, which had been dry for a long time, and then continued.

"The reason why we don't show our new game at the show is that we think we should share with you more of our amazing products in this short show..." As soon as Jester said this, the players in the audience started to cheer, because what Jester said was like your new game is not a surprising product that you can't be surprising? However, this time after Jester smiled and made a gesture of pressing down on both hands to make everyone quiet, they all stopped laughing. They really wanted to see what Jester had to say.

"Don't misunderstand that our new game will naturally shock every player who likes us. I mean, we will set up a trial area for our new game in the next CES exhibition, so it is much better for you to experience the content you can experience in the trial area than for me to demonstrate here. After all, I'm blowing this game up in a panoramic way while demonstrating, and you don't have an intuitive feeling. It's better to spend the time saving to introduce the things or content you can't experience at this exhibition at the moment."

Hearing Jester's words made some sense, the audience in the audience was quietly waiting to see what Jester had in his eyes would shock players than showing his new game. If he couldn't do it, don't blame himself for not being able to get out of Taiwan.

But Jester just smiled confidently, obviously, confident about what he was going to demonstrate next.

"A few months ago, ati - a company that supplies display chips to our dreambox, came to us and said that we had just developed a brand new sixteen-bit graphics card with excellent performance. I hope we can tailor a computer game for their graphics card. I didn't care at the time. I didn't think that any decent games can be made on a computer. Many of my colleagues at that time had the same opinion as me - after all, we are a big company and cannot do the rough mosaics of the Atari era. We should make exquisite, real games that can make people who can really enter into after a glance, and in my impression, PC obviously cannot do these."

"But after I took a look at the specific parameters of the graphics card they gave me, I went to the hardware department without saying a word, and then I asked someone to assemble a pc that can be equipped with this graphics card with the best parts overnight."

Of course, Jester's words were fake. When Ati sent the graphics card, he was not in the company. He knew that there was such a graphics card and returned to the company a few days later. Mark Seni told him, but he also helped Mark Seni complete the Carmack scroll algorithm, which could successfully complete the smooth scrolling of the scroll on the PC. This news was not disclosed on a large scale even in the company. Except for Mark Seni's "Avengers" R&D team, only a few people knew it.

But this does not prevent Jester from adapting himself. Just make the audience in the stage think this is true. After all, what is true or false about this matter, who-care? What they care about is what you say about this thing!

So, Jester continued to make up his story.

"Then, I spent a few days with a few colleagues designing a game level for this graphics card to see if its performance is as strong as the ATI. We can't wait for this, because as a game designer, I deeply know what impact it will have on the current game market when the picture can be upgraded to the level described by the parameters of this graphics card."

"This game was also an idea that I had long been to make a game like a movie. However, due to the limitations of hardware, there were great difficulties at the beginning of design, and I did not want to reduce the effect I wanted to express in this game, so I have not been researched and developed. This time, after seeing the specific parameters of this graphics card, I think I should try it."

As he said that, Jester pressed the Enter key on the computer, and then the next moment, an exquisite and inconspicuous game loading interface appeared on the big screen behind him. This was an extremely rich Arabic style picture - a young man holding a Damascus scimitar with a flashing silver light, naked on his upper body, wearing a pair of Arabic-style pants, was making a move to slash his sword.

The moment this picture appeared, the audience below the stage showed an incredible look at the first sight. They grew up with their mouths, widened their eyes, and looked astonished.

How could this picture be so exquisite and colorful, it is almost the same as the cartoons seen on TV. What arcades and game consoles before are simply not comparable to this kind of picture!

But this is really an effect that can be achieved in the game? It’s impossible!

This is everyone's question.

Then, when Jester stood on the stage, he could see that under the stage, someone immediately showed a suspicious look after being shocked. They had been playing electronic games for so many years, but they had never heard of the picture of the game so fine, so they couldn't help but doubt it.

With such questions, they continued to watch. The picture loading the game quickly ended. A cool golden font written in fancy font appeared on the screen, which was the name of this game.

"Prince of Persia: Sands of Time".

After Jester chose to start the game, he officially entered the game.

When they saw that the actual game screen was almost the same as the one they saw when they loaded the game before, as exquisite as a picture, the audience finally burst into earth-shaking shouts again uncontrollably, and this time the call was much more enthusiastic and excited than all the previous calls.
