At the beginning of November last year, Mori Natsu was preparing for the Sakakino Festival, but this year, Mori Natsu is fighting against the game on the side of the Animic club. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

“...... Not enough. ”

Senxia shook her head.

The picture of Dark Souls is already very good, but after comparing the dark souls of the two world lines, Mori Xia found that the dark souls of this world still have a lot of room for improvement.

Of course, the gap between the two worlds is a bit big, and it seems to be a little subtle compared to the Dark Souls of the other world, but after Senxia compared it with God of War 2, he found that it was also much worse.

You know, the performance of PS2 is about the same as DC, but the graphics of the game Dark Souls are far inferior to PS2's God of War 2, and even some gap from God of War 1, Senxia suddenly felt a little bad.

As for the PC version, the situation is even more subtle, because the game "Dark Souls" has high requirements for graphics card performance, so the memory bandwidth or something is very limited to performance.

If it had been before, it would have worked, but after Miyazaki Hidetaka unreasonably added a lot of new features, the PC side has also started to reach a bottleneck - and most importantly, Mori Xia is still asking Miyazaki Hidetaka to improve the quality of the game.

"Senxia, but if you continue to improve your performance, the machine won't be able to stand it. Miyazaki shook his head.

“...... Then ask the team to do optimization," Senxia said with a frown, "We have set up a game optimization department, and the job of this department is to optimize the game." ”

Quantic-Dream has a dedicated optimization team to optimize the game, this company develops games such as Heavy Rain, Alan Wake Killer and Amazing Twins, and after development, it has a special team to optimize the game so that the game can display more graphics content in the small memory of PS2 and PS3.

Speaking of which, it looks like the company's interactive movie progenitor game, Evil Dead City, is about to hit the market in just two months.

Thinking of this, Senxia felt more and more that time didn't seem to be enough.

"Isn't this a bit too much of a fuss?" said Lihua.

In the busy past few days of Senxia, it is Lihua who works with Senxia.

After hearing that Senxia was going to take over DreamCast, Lihua was also trying to help Senxia solve the problem with Sega.

Senxia's recent decisions are all related to DC, and Lihua is also behind Senxia every day.

"At Animic, we also value gameplay, but games like interactive movies are definitely visually oriented, and even if we don't want it now, we will definitely need to optimize the team in the future. Senxia shook his head, "All in all, this won't work now......"

Yes, the current picture, and next year's Metal Gear Solid 2, is also in between.

But that's not enough.

"It's not powerful enough, and there's no way to make the player obsessed with the feeling. It can also be promoted. Comparing the performance of the PS2, Mori Xia offered his opinion, "By next June, I hope to see the graphics performance doubled without affecting the gameplay." ”

"Eight months to double the graphics performance? It's impossible! Shenmue didn't do it!"

Even if it was Hidetaka Miyazaki, he felt that Mori Xia's opinion was a bit excessive.

"I don't care what method you use, whether it's a team, outsourcing, or anything else you want to do, you can go to a big eastern country, go to a lighthouse country, or even go to Europe or Africa, but the picture must be good. Mori Xia was tough once, "I heard, Miyazaki, this is not just a game thing, this is related to the overall development of our society in the future, if you can't figure it out, who do you think can do it, recommend it." ”

“......”

Hidetaka Miyazaki did not answer Mori Xia immediately, but fell into deep thought.

"How much money do I have at my disposal?" he asked.

Mori Xia thought for a moment, and then said, "One billion yen, the greatest support I can give you." ”

If it weren't for the smooth listing of the Stone Age, it would be difficult for Senxia to make up his mind, but now that there are cash cows, Senxia can also come up with some strength.

But one billion yen,It's also the limit of Senxia.,If you want to make additional investment.,It's necessary to wait until EVA-RETAKE and Yuanzhikong are released.,Animation is also a money-burning project.,Senxia made a lot of money here.,But it's also a lot of money.,If you really want to draw funds on a large scale.,That's impossible.。

After saying this, Mori Xia continued to advise: "I heard, Miyazaki, we are going to E3 next year, if there is no way to make games, we will only be a joke at the exhibition at that time." ”

After hearing Mori Xia's words, Hidetaka Miyazaki here also nodded.

The E3 Game Show, which opened in 1995, was much more authoritative than the Tokyo Game Show, and it was definitely a good thing that Animic was able to go to E3 and promote itself in an independent pavilion.

However, if the answer given by your side is not good enough, it is also a problem.

Dark Souls, Demon Ninja, Magical Girl Naye, FATE Interactive Movie Version, Fairy Sword Gaiden, these are the big games that Sen Xia wants to show to the audience at E3, although there are still many high-quality galgames here in Sen Xia, but AVG games are not suitable for the E3 game show.

"We are going to recruit a group of people next, this recruitment, we will be open to the whole world, and when the new department is established, it may be placed in Beimi. ”

Animic's most profitable industry is in the lighthouse country, so Senxia also wants to deploy in North America.

After all, the development of a single machine in a large eastern country is going downhill, and if Senxia wants to make a single machine, it must have a place in Europe and the United States.

Hidetaka Miyazaki nodded.

"Also, I don't allow any compromise on gameplay and handling. Senxia continued.

"Hey!" Miyazaki also nodded, after all, they are all young people, although what Mori Xia said seems to be a little difficult, but there is no point in pushing back in this place.

"In addition, I can't shirk responsibility and blame, I said it must be done, it must be done. ”

Neon Gold is the best at throwing pots, although there is no such phenomenon in Animic, but such a thing, Mori Xia thinks it is better to talk about it first.

"Hoo ......"

Hidetaka Miyazaki's side didn't come up with a plan immediately, and after Mori Xia finished speaking, he went back to his office and continued to work on the affairs of Dark Souls.

"It seems that it is not easy to squeeze the performance of a machine. ”

Mori Xia sighed and shook his head.

If you want to reach the height of God of War 2, you need not only the accumulation of technology, but also the accumulation of time.

But now Senxia, he just can't give so much time.

"Eight months, there shouldn't be a way to do it, right?" said Chika after Hidetaka Miyazaki left.

"It's a must. The development cycle for Dark Souls was 24 months, and now it's 30 months, and I hope they can come up with a game that will shock me enough, and if it doesn't, it doesn't make any sense at all. ”

Dark Souls wouldn't come out until this time in 2001, a full two years.

However, the engine of Dark Souls, after the completion of the slight modification, will be used in the FATE interactive movie version, the development of interactive films, excluding the engine, Mori Xia gave only 12 months.

For such an interactive film, if there is no way to solve the problem of development difficulty, it is meaningless at all - simplicity and ease of use is Senxia's pursuit.

Therefore, Dark Souls, which focuses more on gameplay, requires a long time to develop and polish, while the time of FATE interactive movies cannot be too long. If it's too long, it will mean a defeat on Senxia's side.

"But it's the first time I've seen Sen Xiajun make such an arrogant request. When making demands on Hidetaka Miyazaki, Mori Xia's firm attitude really scared Lihua.

"Will it?" Senxia shrugged, "maybe a little, but otherwise, we won't be able to win." ”

Metal Gear Solid 2, as well as the future God of War series, these are all good games in the minds of players, and unlike Shenmue, Metal Gear Solid and God of War series, sales are crushed, the shadow of the famous tree of people, Senxia wants to surpass these games, you must keep improving.

Dark Souls is a good game, a game that can compete with these two series, but the premature Dark Souls is to be on par with these two games, and the process of optimization, optimization and optimization is a must.

"But I might need something of my own......"

As a gentleman, Senxia is not satisfied with copycats and magic changes, he also wants to do something he likes.

It doesn't have to be on E3, but it must be sensitive, and it's best to be able to put all kinds of gentleman's stuff like The Elder Scrolls.

"Brave New World?"

Senxia suddenly thought of the word game on his side.,Now the brave new world has a graphical interface.,Novice users won't have any obstacles to play.,The picture interface is also very good.,It's just the kind of plot and battle that is completely described in words.,I'm afraid not everyone can accept it.,But if you can make this system like the Elder Scrolls.,It seems good?

"The engine on the Black Souls side is very suitable for developing RPG and action games, and although there may be some problems with making FPS, if you feel like this, maybe it's okay?"

Although there are games like Demon Ninja, but the fully open game with a sense is really the best.

"Well, forget it, we'll talk about it later. ”

Mori Xia shook her head, retracting her somewhat dizzy thoughts, and Mori Xia focused on Animic's recent affairs.

Saving DC is not an easy task......

......

Today's festival.

Trim it up and start working on two shifts tomorrow......

At the end of the previous chapter, the mustache became an alloy slug, but seeing that everyone is so happy, I won't change it
