"That's right, this is the same game. I didn't expect Blizzard Studios to be able to make the game's graphics to such an extent. It's a pity that we don't have an ordinary home computer that can fully express the value of this game!" Old Huang shook his head regretfully. Most of the audience was stunned by Blizzard's performance.
It turned out that this was the real graphics of Humans and Warcraft. It turned out that a game released in 1994 could have such exquisite graphics. All the games released by EA in 1995 were instantly defeated. So far, in the entire computer game market, there was no game that could surpass the graphics of Humans and Warcraft.
It could only be said that Blizzard was too awesome. The Blizzard gaming studio was too kind. Many players who had not played Humans and Warcraft immediately planned to buy a copy and experience this magical game.
"Next up, we'll use a new game released in 1995 to show off the charm of the GTX0000! This time, we'll be using Blizzard Studios' next game, Diablo, for the demo! "
"Diablo!" The audience was shocked when they heard the name. They could actually see Blizzard's new game, Diablo!
Speaking of Diablo, many people thought that Diablo was a product of Blizzard Studios. But that wasn't the case. At that time, Blizzard Studios was focused on RTS games. That was why the sequel after the first Warcraft was StarCraft I.
In fact, StarCraft II was currently being developed by Blizzard Studios. It would probably appear at E3 next year.
The real developer of Diablo was Blizzard Studios in the North, another gaming studio that was acquired by Blizzard Studios.
However, this studio was only established in 1994. Boss Jia had already decided to let Blizzard Studios develop Diablo in 1993. That was why Blizzard Studios in the North didn't appear.
But that didn't matter. As a loyal player of Diablo, Boss Jia was the chief designer of Diablo. Of course, it was impossible to completely restore the maps and equipment of Diablo. Boss Jia didn't remember that much.
Boss Jia only partially restored the maps and equipment. The rest of the maps and equipment were designed by the designers. It was different from the original Diablo. However, Boss Jia had completely inherited the core gameplay of Diablo. That was why it was basically the same as the original Diablo.
As for the development of the game, Boss Jia naturally left it to Blizzard Studios. Blizzard Studios had no choice but to hire a large number of people and split into two teams to work on Diablo and StarCraft at the same time.
Ahem. Back to the topic, Old Huang started the game on a computer without the GTX0000 installed. However, Old Huang didn't show it for too long. After the game started for a minute, he let the character walk around on the map for the audience to see the graphics. That was about it.
Old Huang quickly started the game on the GTX0000 and opened the graphics settings template as quickly as possible. Old Huang then said, "Although Diablo doesn't have the super button like Humans and Warcraft, Diablo has more detailed graphics settings!"
"Diablo has as many as eight different graphics settings!" Old Huang pointed at the graphics settings of the two machines and explained. "However, only three of the settings can be set on a normal computer. The other five settings can only be set on a GTX0000 installed PC!"
At this time, the players realized that the five options on the normal computer's graphics settings were greyed out and couldn't be manipulated.
"This isn't because we want to promote the GTX0000 by blocking these settings so that everyone can buy our GTX0000. It's because these five settings can't be achieved by a normal integrated graphics card. Only a standalone graphics card with the GTX0000 installed can achieve these graphics effects."
"Everyone is welcome to verify this point after the game is released. If what I've said is true, then all GTX0000 can be fully refunded!" Old Huang assured everyone.
"If you don't want to have so many graphics settings, then Diablo also provides five different levels of graphics settings. They are Normal, Fine, Fine, Advanced, and Fever."
"Among them, ordinary PCs can only reach the 'fine' level of picture quality at most … This also requires your PC to have a high enough configuration and use the latest Intel 586 Pro chip to reach the 'fine' level of picture quality. If it's just an ordinary 586 chip, then you can only play at the 'fine' level."
"The lowest Normal level of graphics requires the use of an Intel 386 chip. As for chips before 386, sorry, these chips can't support the graphics effects of Diablo. "
"Oh, right, your PC's screen must also support the minimum 480p resolution. Otherwise, you won't be able to run Diablo!"
"However, if your PC is installed with the lowest specs of a 386 chip and a 720p resolution monitor, but if you add our GTX0000 graphics card, then you can easily reach the Fever level of graphics, just like what you're seeing now!" After Old Huang finished speaking, he immediately adjusted the graphics to the maximum effect. Then, just like the previous Humans and Orcs, the graphics of the entire game instantly reached an unimaginable level that shocked the f * cking hell.
The blurry buildings became clear and three-dimensional. The players could even see the blood stains on the walls.
The characters that were originally like paste became plump and real, especially the Archer's perky buttocks. Players could even aim at them.
All in all, when the graphics were at the highest, the game seemed to have become another game from the future. Then, Old Huang started playing Diablo on the spot.
He controlled his character, put on his basic equipment, and then killed his way to the map outside the village and began fighting with all sorts of wild monsters.
In the eyes of modern players, there was nothing new about farming monsters in the wild. It was something that was perfected in online games.
However, they didn't know that the creator of this design was actually Diablo.
Before Diablo, there weren't any real real-time combat games in the world. Almost all games used turn-based combat.
Although some games claimed to use real-time combat, the graphics and graphics were terrible. You would bump into your opponent, and the opponent would bump into you. The weapons in your hands wouldn't move at all.
However, when Old Huang began to control the Diablo character, the players went completely crazy. They saw the warrior swing his longsword high up in the air and land a solid blow on the monster's body. At the same time, the sound effects of metal piercing through flesh and the monster's cries of agony could be heard.
When the last monster was killed, a bunch of copper coins and a piece of equipment flew out of the monster's body. This was the first time players saw a monster drop equipment.
At this moment, all the players stood up in excitement. Even Yamauchi stood up in excitement. He suddenly felt the world spinning around him. He realized that his SFC console would never be able to achieve the graphics and graphics of today's PC. If he didn't find a way to release a new console soon, the entire gaming market would be taken over by the PC!
This was almost impossible in the eyes of Yamauchi, who firmly believed that consoles were invincible. But now that the GTX0000 was installed on the PC, everything became so real!
Also standing up were the masked Trip Hawkins and Ken Kokura. The two were also shocked by the graphics of Diablo. Was this really a game from this world?
But soon, they were even more shocked.
Because the characters on the screen were starting to use their skills.
Old Huang then started showing off the different characters' skills. The Warriors had more than ten different skills, each with different movements and combat effects, as well as special flaming effects.
These were all displayed on the screen. The special effects were gorgeous, and the audience was drooling. The three gaming bigwigs were sweating profusely.
Especially Trip Hawkins. He could already see the scene of Diablo dominating the global PC market.
After showing the combat scenes of the warriors, Old Huang continued to show the skills of the archers and mages. The audience below the stage screamed as if they were going to turn into wolf cubs.
"This is the new experience that our GTX0000 can bring to the game!" Old Huang concluded. "GTX0000 is not only suitable for Daqian games. Any game developed by any manufacturer in the world, as long as it is based on the PC platform, can be optimized by GTX0000. Even if they don't have a specific graphics quality setting, our GTX0000 can give you a new display through various refinements. Thank you everyone!"
"Then you must be curious. How much does our GTX0000 standalone graphics card cost in USD?" Old Huang smiled and looked at the audience. Seeing the eagerness in everyone's eyes, he laughed. "Our GTX0000 graphics card has a global retail price of 299 USD!"
"299 USD! That's so expensive! " Many players were shocked. One had to know that $299 was enough to buy half a computer in the United States. After all, an Apple computer was only $899 at that time.
299 USD was enough to buy a PS game console. This made Sony's Ken Kotogi's expression very ugly.
When I heard the price, the players started to think. 299 USD was undoubtedly expensive, but seeing the obvious improvements brought by the GTX0000, the players fell into a game of chess.
Oh right, it's worth mentioning that although the graphics chip used in the GTX0000 was developed by Nvidia, the entire chip was produced by Tianxin Machinery Factory. The photolithography machine used by Tianxin Machinery Factory was naturally a 200nm photolithography machine made by Daqian Precision.
The cost of the GTX0000 was one-third of the cost of the chip.
