In a sense, "Journey" is indeed a positive energy game.

Because in this game, you only need krypton gold to become stronger.

Is there anything more positive than that?

In the real world, hard work doesn't necessarily make you stronger, and in gacha, krypton gold can be nothing, but in Journey, it's significant that you can get stronger with money.

So...... Saying that this game is positive is simply not disobedient.

Senxia also had to admit it.

After this matter was settled, news also came from Sony's side.

They are also very interested in Senxia's desire for the UMD solution, but they said that if Senxia really needs production, UMD's production line and other content need to be controlled by Sony.

In other words, the output of UMD depends on Sony's mood.

In fact, one of the reasons why UMD can't be done on another world line is because Sony refuses to open up, and the only UMD production line in the world is Sony's own.

Of course, Senxia refused.

Nonsense, even if you have a request from your own side, but this kind of thing is equivalent to completely handing over the lifeline to the other party.

If you get stuck when the game is released, it's a lot of fun.

But apart from Sony, Senxia has no choice on his side.

Small discs are also available on the market, but there are very few that can achieve low power consumption, high stability and high capacity like Sony.

So it's still.

But because of the other party's request, Senxia has confidence - not afraid of your request, but afraid that you didn't ask for it.

No request is the most terrible, no desire is rigid, if you don't get in, Senxia can't do it even if you want to pry the corner. As long as they still have a stake in Square Enix, they will definitely not give up.

But on the other hand, if Sony really doesn't care about Square Enix, Senxia will also be unceremonious and take the opposite side directly...... Although Sen Xia doesn't like anything very much......

Negotiation is a long process, and there is no rush for a month, so this matter can only end here for the time being.

But the process of handheld still needs to be considered.

After the concept machine comes out, it is necessary to consider the situation of the mass production machine after that.

The first is the screen, and the screen specifications of the production machine will be 640×360 resolution, which is a reduction from the original specifications.

There are two main problems, one is the limited CPU performance, and the other is the cost constraints.

Especially the latter.

At the beginning, everyone even considered using an 854×480 screen to achieve a high resolution of 480P. But after the Phoenix Society inquired, it was found that there are not many manufacturers that can make this small screen, and the quotations are very high, and the yield of the screen is not high. Considering that the machine will be on the market from 03 to 04, the price of the screen should drop a little by then, so the 6.4-inch 640×360 resolution screen was finally chosen.

In fact, everyone still thinks about continuing to reduce the resolution, but if you reduce the resolution at this size, the picture quality will become very bad, so the resolution can no longer be reduced.

It's not just the screen that has shrunk, but so has the settings of the machine itself. At first, everyone wanted to use 64MB of memory, but later, the memory shrank directly to 24MB, and the result was really not good, and there were many problems when running DC games, and the final decision was 32MB of memory capacity, but this is only the current design, considering Moore's Law, it is also possible to wait two years later to use higher specifications of memory to go on the market.

The CPU side has not yet been confirmed, but the Order of the Phoenix has already partnered with the Blue Giant and is working on a dual-core low-power processor based on 90nm technology.

"Why IBM?"

When Senxia was planning this R&D, Wang Qiwen also followed Senxia to the Order of the Phoenix. In fact, Mori Xia was introduced to Wang Qiwen.

But Wang Qiwen didn't understand why Senxia was looking for the blue giant to cooperate.

And not because they're cheap.

On the contrary, the offer for the blue giant is high.

"There are many reasons, this part is mainly R&D expenses, and we swallow this part of the cost ourselves. But this collaboration will continue forever. "Although this matter is a secret, it doesn't matter if you tell you, we are interested in some of the other party's achievements in machine learning." ”

"That thing has nothing to do with the game, right? Wang Qiwen is very strange, what are you doing with this?"

"Pre-trained and neural networks...... The effect is still very large. ”

Although this matter is confidential, in fact, Senxia is still quite helpless, because these studies are not new in the industry, but they are not explosive points.

This kind of technology is actually quite common in the future.

For example, in the future, Chrysanthemum Company will engage in a GPU-Turbo principle, which is to train for the game, and then when the game needs resources, the system is deployed in advance to keep the picture smooth. That's one of the applications of machine learning.

In addition, the DLSS technology developed by an NVIDIA company in the future is similar, this technology is essentially to use the game's ultra-high-resolution pictures to analyze and train the game, and then when the game is carried out at a low resolution, the results of the training are targeted to the picture to achieve the so-called 4K ultra-high-definition resolution - but the actual picture quality is not even as good as the "true 4K" resolution game without anti-aliasing.

"Let's spend a lot of money. Wang Qiwen felt a little sorry for Senxia.

"In fact, the highest cost now is WIFI, and wireless is really expensive. ”

Yes, WIFI function.

Although this function is very common in the future, for now, adding functions to the handheld, a full set of WIFI is the most costly, more exaggerated than the CPU, dare you believe it?

But the full suite of wireless solutions is just that scary.

"Remove it, what's the use of this function?" Wang Qiwen didn't understand.

"That's the essence, get rid of the ghost!" Sen Xia rolled his eyes, "The Internet is the driving force of the future." Besides, the price is high now because there is no corresponding portable and low-power solution on the market, and when the finished product is available, the cost will come down. "Senxia is quite optimistic in this regard.

"Well...... Wang Qiwen thought for a while, "It makes sense, in this case, online games can also be moved in this direction...... Eh, by the way, you said that the game "Journey", how about making a handheld version of your game?"

As soon as Wang Qiwen finished speaking, he found that Sen Xia was looking at him with an extremely strange gaze.

"Uh...... When I didn't say. Wang Qiwen didn't speak.

"Don't talk about this, I'll bring you here, in fact, it's also for this WIFI, you help in China......"

A large eastern country did not have WIFI at the beginning, but had its own standard WAPI, but now there is no one. This matter is related to national interests and the right to speak, and Senxia is not good to say.

But since Senxia knows the big things in the future, he must plan in advance......

told Wang Qiwen so many secrets, not to make him happy, but to let him help himself out......

......

Interested friends can check the WAPI and WIFI dispute, this matter is not easy to elaborate, can only say that this is not a pure industry problem, this is the same as the mobile 3G network, about a deeper problem.
