Chapter 8 The Burning Cloud
Zhao Junli nodded.
This choice is also very easy to understand.
Basically, others provide a platform, and then you release the game to sell it on this platform. Nowadays, major game manufacturers have their own corresponding mature VR equipment. If you release a VR helmet that can only play tomorrow, it will basically be equivalent to smashing the situation, and there is a high probability of losing money.
After all, what did Atari collapse say?
Four million game cartridges were prepared, and only one and a half million were sold. Atari's game cartridges could only be played on their own consoles. In the end, they faced high storage costs. Atari's company finally decided to smash and bury the remaining 2.5 million game cartridges into the desert.
This is the ultimate milk pour strategy and triggers the biggest collapse and panic in the history of the game.
The world's gaming share plummeted by 95% in the second year, less than one-twentieth of the previous year.
Although Zhao Junli is confident in the quality that will not come tomorrow and its current reputation, he is also clear that if you buy peripherals and get games, you will definitely usher in a sales tragedy.
No matter how outstanding your product is, it will be useless. After all, not many people will buy gaming devices that can only play one game.
But Zhao Junli just believes in the prospect of doing so.
After all, although logging into other people's platforms is equivalent to sharing risks, you also have to accept a large number of overbearing terms and limiting the game to other people's VR platforms, which is also extremely unfavorable for future developments that are not coming tomorrow.
But if you hold upstream and downstream channels, it will be an unlimited prospect for tomorrow.
"Solari, Ren Hell, and MicroPike, the three giants in the game console industry have launched their own VR devices for players to play. In the PC field, there are also their own corresponding VR devices on the steam platform. Good birds choose trees to live in. All we have to do is to choose a platform to transplant it, and then ensure the platform's networking performance." Lu Yuan's fingers moved up the famous game console manufacturer there, and there were not many expressions on his face.
If there are three strategies: top, middle and bottom, it is of course the best strategy to be able to grasp your own destiny and develop your own gaming peripherals. However, such a best strategy is too risky and is a heavy asset project, so it is said that it was first ruled out by Lu Yuan.
Zhao Junli thought quietly.
However, if you really continue to make the outline of other hardware manufacturers and make them with the ground, the transplant is not coming tomorrow, it is equivalent to taking your own life in the hands of others. Although you have the advantage of counting money on the ground, there is no doubt that Lu Yuan does not want to count money on the ground.
This is the worst.
Zhao Junli suddenly remembered the three choices Lu Yuan mentioned at the beginning.
Before this, when Lu Yuan and Zhao Junli were discussing, they generally only had the two options mentioned just now.
"What is the third choice?" Zhao Junli couldn't help but ask.
One is to produce it yourself, and the other is to borrow other people’s mature equipment. So what is the third choice?
Zhao Junli could not have imagined it for a moment.
Lu Yuan smiled, reached out and tapped the flat screen on the desktop. The rotating world map rose from it, and then there were flames burning there.
It is like a huge burning white cloud slowly covering the whole world.
"Do you still remember what is the biggest advantage that will not come tomorrow?" Lu Yuan asked Zhao Junli.
"Scene?" Zhao Junli still remembers the demo version of Tomorrow Unknown's computer that was able to burn out his high-end computer in an instant. In subsequent practice, there have been constant reports of players who overestimate their ability to cut off the online mode, causing the computer to overheat and shut down. Among them, the more unlucky ones also ushered in the tragedy of scrapping the graphics card.
"Or it's the plot?" Seeing Lu Yuan's expression without comment, Zhao Junli continued. The plot of tomorrow is of course great. Although most people initially played this game with the gimmick of survival in the open world of the end of the world, its super high degree of freedom and immersion game experience attracted a large number of fans, but in the end, the subtle game details of the fans were completely transformed into the touching of the subtle game details, especially with the "Tomorrow Not Come" series of videos, it showed all players a real and vivid doomsday story, whether it was the swaying birthday candle fire or the ice and snow storm of the explosion of the track car in Binhai City.
The last warrior, the crazy beast, the surviving father walked alone on the snowy land with his terminally ill daughter. The whole story touched countless people's hearts.
But Lu Yuan shook his head.
Zhao Junli collapsed and looked at Lu Yuan: "You old man open the skylight and speak loudly."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "The biggest advantage of tomorrow is actually the ability to play."
"No matter how fun your game is, first of all, you need to let players play and experience the content of the game. This is the foundation for the success of a game." Lu Yuan said lightly: "To be honest, I didn't do this at first, because the initial publicity that tomorrow is not coming was a catastrophic accident. Drinking deep is not afraid of the alley deep is really a chicken soup story. If it weren't for Su Nuo's accidental help, we probably wouldn't have been sitting here to discuss the next progress of tomorrow is not coming."
"However, its biggest advantage is reflected in the future, which is that it does not rely on the machine configuration at all while ensuring high picture quality and high fluency."
"As long as your computer can be connected to the Internet normally and can play videos normally, the quality of the game running on your computer that will not come tomorrow depends on the quality of the game you can play videos."
"This is the most valuable advantage that tomorrow is not coming."
"It's also super cloud computing power."
Zhao Junli felt that he had vaguely grasped something, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"you mean?"
Zhao Junli asked tentatively.
Lu Yuan's fingers hooked a little on the tablet, and the huge burning white clouds sank, sinking above the sparks, each spark was a personal computer.
"Just as I said before, since we can arrange all the computing data on the computer to the cloud, then the data on the VR aspect is also OK. So although we cannot make VR devices that belong only to our own, we can be compatible with all VR devices."
This is a pretty crazy idea. Zhao Junli only thought of a little prospect in this area and felt a little excited.
“Can it be done?”
"Have you never used the controller of that large controller manufacturer to play PC games?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
Yes, although the console manufacturer is not selling very well in game consoles, the controller is widely popular among major players.
"This requires very strong software assistance." Zhao Junli has basically accepted this idea, but is still a little worried.
Yes, the biggest problem with multi-platform compatibility is optimization, because different platforms have subtle differences in their operating architecture and characteristics, so special optimizations must be carried out for the platform.
