Nintendo's kneeling caused a sensation in the industry, completely established the position of the overlord of Flamingo Company, and at the same time deterred other people with evil intentions.
Sega originally planned to enter the game console market, but after seeing this situation, it immediately retreated.
Just kidding, it doesn't want to be a second Nintendo.
Looking at the world, there is no company that can challenge Flamingo, and it can even be said that they dare not challenge!
The price of the challenge is a dead end!
Third-party game developers are all obedient and willing to be exploited!
The Flamingo-2 game console has swept the game console market, and players have no choice but to buy it.
The global game industry can't help but tremble!
The glory of Flamingo Company is more eye-catching and shocking than that of Nintendo in the previous life. When it comes to games, people think of a word "Flamingo"!
At this moment, Li Zetian came to the Flamingo Company and worked with Nolan Bushnell and other senior executives to formulate the company's development strategy.
On January 1, 1985, Intel Corporation released the first-generation 32-bit processor Intel80386, which integrates 275,000 transistors, more than a hundred times that of the 4004 chip, and can process 5 million instructions per second. It is also the first processor with "multitasking" function. The so-called "multitasking" means that it can process the instructions of multiple programs at the same time, which has an important impact on the development of Microsoft's operating system. The 32-bit microprocessor has a powerful and unmatched computing power, and the application of personal computers has expanded to many fields, such as commercial office and computing, engineering design and computing, data centers, and personal entertainment. The 80386 made 32-bit CPUs the standard in the PC industry.
With the popularity of 32-bit personal computers, PC personal entertainment will soon rise, and if Flamingo can seize the opportunity, it will soon be the king of the PC gaming market.
In the 1980s, Electronic Arts (EA) focused almost entirely on the distribution of PC games, and from there it grew to become a major game company with a market value of more than $30 billion.
However, Li Zetian would not give this opportunity to the other party, especially Tripp Hawkins, the founder of EA or an employee who left Apple. Li Zetian's face will be dull if he is defeated by the other party.
meeting room.
Li Zetian said solemnly: "Intel Corporation has released a 32-bit processor, and Flamingo Corporation can also start to develop the third-generation game console, and strive to be ahead of other companies in technology, leaving others behind! If a company launches If the 16-bit game console and the Flamingo company grab business, then the Flamingo company can come up with a 32-bit game console to crush it, just as the 16-bit second-generation Flamingo game console crushes Nintendo's 8-bit FC game The same machine."
The crowd nodded frequently in agreement.
"Furthermore, Flamingo will also start to enter the PC game market in a big way, and its importance is no less than that of TV games. I believe that PC games will bloom very dazzling in the future!"
Compared with TV games, Li Zetian is more fond of PC games, such as "Red Alert", "Star Wars", "Warcraft", "CS", "Cross Fire", "DNF", "DOTA", "League of Legends" The games are so fun.
The key is that the PC game show operation is very fulfilling. Before Li Zetian passed through, he was a master of "League of Legends". He also participated in the local League of Legends competition. . Li Zetian believes that if he goes to become a LOL professional player, he will definitely become a top player and lead the Chinese team to win the world championship. However, his ambition is not here, but imagining Bill Gates to become a billionaire by writing software.
In the conference room, Li Zetian began to instill the main points of PC game development, and classified them into: real-time strategy games, fighting games, third-person shooters, role-playing games, action games, racing games, etc.
When everyone heard it, they were all shocked, and they all sighed that Li Zetian was a game design master by nature.
Li Zetian then said: "The key factor for the quality of a game is the game engine. It can even be said that the game engine is the root of a game! With the improvement of game graphics, 3D game graphics have become the future development trend, not only It is only used for TV games, and will also be widely used in PC games. Therefore, 3D engine technology will be the top priority of Flamingo, and Flamingo must invest huge amounts of money and manpower to develop 3D engine technology!!!”
"Yes!!!" Seeing that Li Zetian's attitude was so solemn, everyone nodded in response, thinking that they must devote all their energy to developing a 3D game engine. Once the game engine is developed, it is much easier to develop games. In fact, games are developed on the basis of game engines, and the same game engine can develop different games.
For game developers, as we all know, the game engine is the fundamental, it is like an engine that controls the operation of the game.
Simply put, game = engine + resources.
"Game Engine" includes the following systems: Rendering Engine ("Renderer", including 2D Graphics Engine and 3D Graphics Engine), Physics Engine, Collision Detection System, Sound Effects, Scripting Engine, Computer Animation, Artificial Intelligence, Network Engine, and Scenes management and so on.
"Game resources" include images, sounds, animations and other parts.
This is why Li Zetian attaches so much importance to game engines.
If you want to do good things, you must first sharpen your tools. With a good game engine, you are not afraid that you will not be able to develop good games! !
After the chat, Li Zetian left.
Afterwards, he went to Intel to learn more about the Intel80386 chip and the company's situation.
The rise of personal computers, the microprocessor market shines brightly, and Intel Corporation faces many competitors. Zilog and Motorola have become strong competitors to Intel with their chip products that are not inferior. At the same time, Big Blue IBM is secretly researching its own CPU-286, and AMD has also begun to get involved in the field of CPU manufacturing.
How can Intel Corporation defend its market position? The only way is to introduce a more advanced processor, so the 32-bit Intel80386 came into being!
"It's not that Intel authorized AMD to produce Intel's 8086 chips and 80286 chips, where did it develop?! Hmph, now AMD has also begun to get involved in the field of CPU manufacturing, clearly trying to drive us Intel from its seats! "In the conference room, an executive said angrily, "However, fortunately we have developed a more powerful Intel80386 chip. This time, I think we can't license the technology to AMD anymore! The reason why the technology was licensed to AMD was because of IBM's mandatory requirements, but now, IBM is a piece of shit!!!"
After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Li Zetian.
