Chapter 184: #184 - The much-anticipated press conference has officially been held, and many bigwigs have gathere

Therefore, it's clear that for large game companies, they all have their own well-known game engines. If it's not necessary, they naturally won't use someone else's game engine.

After all, using someone else's game engine naturally has a higher cost, and there's no way to create exclusive features for the game's content and graphics.

After all, if you use someone else's game engine, the resources of that engine are definitely public. You have no way to enjoy them exclusively, and ultimately, there will be a certain degree of homogenization.

Therefore, because major game companies only use their own game engines, their attitude towards Geek Engine is naturally one of indifference.

After all, I won't use your game engine. No matter how strong your game engine is, I won't use it. Naturally, I'll ignore the matter of the Geek Super Game Engine.

However, although major game companies are indifferent, it doesn't mean that companies that mainly profit from selling game engine services are.

For example, Epic Games, which holds the Unreal Engine, and Unity Technologies, which holds the Unity Engine, are relatively nervous.

But the frustrating thing is that even if they are nervous and highly value it, they don't dare to confront Geek Technology head-on.

For example, Epic Games, which holds the Unreal Engine, has a total market value of only a mere 600 million US dollars.

Geek Technology spent 500 million US dollars just to purchase a large number of high-definition 3D models, and the funds for developing the game engine would not be much less.

Therefore, Epic Games, which holds the Unreal Engine, helplessly discovered that they had no way to follow suit!

After all, Geek Technology is willing to spend so much money to acquire a large number of 3D models to develop the Geek Super Game Engine. What can they use to compete? Their lives?

Moreover, they are already somewhat overwhelmed, because with Gao Nian revealing the information that they are developing the Geek Super Game Engine.

These game engine companies are naturally not favored by shareholders, so the listed game engine companies directly ushered in a sharp drop in market value.

Unlisted companies, on the other hand, saw their valuations plummet, and they no longer had the high valuations they once had.

Therefore, they really hate Geek Technology and hate Gao Nian.

However, if negative emotions were useful, there wouldn't be so much helplessness and conflict in this world.

So, they can only silently endure the huge pressure brought by Geek Technology and then quietly lick their wounds.

As for the game players, they are immersed in revelry.

The word "surprise" is not enough to describe their mood. Their mood can be described as ecstasy.

After all, whether it is the Phoenix graphics card being developed or the Geek Super Game Engine and Super Game being developed.

These are all huge positive news for them.

So, accompanied by their expectations, in the following time, they will naturally pay attention to the latest progress of Geek Technology from time to time.

And Geek Technology is also quite accommodating. In the following time, every week or two, they will slightly reveal the exquisite graphics or gossip information of the Super Game.

Making those players itchy, but they can't play the Super Game, and can only look forward to the early birth of the Super Game developed by Geek Technology.

It can be said that the Super Game being developed by Geek Technology has quietly become the first on the expectation list.

And time passed slowly like this, and in the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

In the following time, after a few days of preparation, the actions of various companies were also displayed one after another.

First of all, AMD and Nvidia, in order to save their impacted stock prices, also announced the fact that they are urgently developing new graphics cards with powerful performance.

As for the major game companies, they still maintain a calm and composed appearance.

As for Epic Games, which holds the Unreal Engine, and Unity Technologies, which holds the Unity Engine, they conducted a major price reduction and promotion.

Among them, Epic Games not only conducted a major price reduction and promotion, but also carried out a major reform.

They learned from Geek Technology and announced that as long as the turnover is less than 1 million US dollars, you can use the Unreal Engine for free!

Therefore, many small and medium-sized game companies with a development cycle of within 9 months have adopted the Unreal Engine.

This also allowed Epic Games' stock price to increase accordingly, directly rising from more than 600 million to more than one billion, it can be seen that shareholders are still very optimistic about Epic Games' future.

It is believed that Epic Games' Unreal Engine can survive the impact of the Geek Super Engine and become the king of a niche field.

As for whether their vision is accurate, this is not what Gao Nian cares about.

After the "Focus Interview" program was completed, Gao Nian devoted his energy to the development of the Super Game Engine and the research and development of the Phoenix graphics card.

And time continued to pass slowly like this, and in the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and time quietly came to November 15, 2011.

On this day, Geek Technology was boiling again.

Because the Phoenix graphics card chip commissioned by Geek Technology to be produced by TSMC has finally completed tape-out!

This naturally made Geek Technology become excited, and then this joyful mood quickly spread throughout the company from top to bottom.

For a time, whether it was on technology forums and game forums on the Internet, or on Internet new media, there were rumors.

Although there were no videos, pictures, or written evidence, it still successfully aroused the excitement of the players.

And this also made AMD and Nvidia become nervous, and then they naturally urged their scientific research teams to develop stronger new graphics cards as soon as possible.

Of course, although this is what they do internally, in terms of the external aspect, perhaps it is to prevent shareholders from losing confidence.

Whether it is Nvidia or AMD, they all have a confident and arrogant attitude.

For example, Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, publicly stated in an interview with the media that Geek Technology is only a rising star in the computer graphics card industry.

Geek Technology should hone itself for a few more years, so that it can bring great pressure to Nvidia!

Faced with the words of Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, some people immediately applauded.

Some people also scolded Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, for being "too much like an elder" or "too arrogant", etc.

"Geek Technology, please be sure to prove yourself, and don't let Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, underestimate you.

Yang Zhi from Huludao sincerely hopes that Geek Technology's Phoenix graphics card can really achieve 200% performance leadership, so that Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang, will be speechless.

And time passed slowly like this, and a month passed like this, and time quietly came to December 20, 2011.

On this day, the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing was the focus of attention. Under the circumstance that Geek Technology had carried out extensive publicity 5 days in advance, it was crowded with nearly fifty thousand people.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room on the Internet even reached a staggering three million, which shows how much attention this press conference has received.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noise near the entrance of the VIP seats, and it seemed that some well-known big shot had entered.

"It's Nvidia's CEO, Old Huang!"

"Next to him is actually Apple's new CEO, Cook!"

"The expressions of the two are so harmonious, could it be that the two companies have some cooperation?"
