“…… Specially designed 64-bit CPU R-4052A, frequency 250MHz, floating-point capability 6.2GFLOPS...... Configuring Dual Processors ......"

"The two processors combined are not as fast as the processors of Sega's Dreamcast." Hironobu Sakaguchi shook his head disdainfully.

“…… It has powerful graphics processing power, which can process 49.2 million polygons per second, with a peak of 75 million polygons...... Hardware-accelerated edge anti-aliasing, material mapping, bump mapping, and other special effects ......"

"That's right, PS game consoles are only 360,000 polygons per second, and Dreamcast is only 300~7 million, isn't it an extra zero." Hironobu Sakaguchi couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't help but take a closer look again, but the numbers on the technical manual clearly told him that he was not mistaken, and he couldn't help but take a serious look.

Representatives of other companies were also stunned by the performance parameters indicated in the technical manual, especially the 3D graphics section, which almost left Sega's legendary Dreamcast console behind, and the first thought in their minds was "did the polygon part of the data print an extra zero".

Standing aside and waiting for a while, feeling that everyone's information should be almost seen, Chen Zhipeng coughed lightly, walked to the round table of the conference and said: "Hello everyone, let me introduce you to the game console we have developed, first of all, please take a look at a game demo." ”

Everyone felt refreshed when they heard it, after all, no matter how wonderful the technical manual was, it was better to have something practical, and those boring numbers would always make people feel drowsy, so after listening to what Chen Zhipeng said, everyone cheered up and turned their eyes to the display table next to them.

At this time, a photo appeared on the large-screen display connected to the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine, which was Chen Zhipeng's own headshot, with the operation of the staff, the flat photo gradually changed, Chen Zhipeng's head gradually protruded, and the rest of the body slowly disappeared, and the entire background became black. Soon a detailed head made of extremely well-fitting textured materials appeared on the large screen monitor, and there was a sound of good-natured laughter around the round table.

On the monitor, Chen Zhipeng's head seemed to anticipate this, and opened his mouth to speak: "Thank you for your appreciation, the next will be the moment to witness the miracle......"

With the voice coming out of the speaker, the face on the monitor changed, the subtle changes in the facial muscles and the opening and closing of the lips up and down were almost exactly the same as the voice of the voice, as if the head on the monitor really spoke, and the representatives at the round table gave a sigh of admiration.

As soon as the words of "Chen Zhipeng's head" fell, several small balls of light of different colors suddenly appeared around it, circling around the "head", reflecting the "head" in a colorful way, but the changes of light and shadow in every place were so real, as if there were really many colored lights revolving around "Chen Zhipeng's head".

Chen Zhipeng took the microphone and explained: "This is to show the effect of the light source......

Then "Chen Zhipeng's head" slowly transformed into a streamlined metallic color from top to bottom, and exuded a transparent luster, and it didn't take long for it to turn into a golden liquid like the T-1000 in "Terminator 2" and flow down to the bottom of the screen.

"This is to show the scene mapping capability of the hardware and the ...... of alpha channel mixing technology," Chen Zhipeng explained again while standing on the sidelines.

The golden liquid went all the way down, fell into a city that suddenly appeared, and slowly returned to "Chen Zhipeng's head", from metallic color to human appearance, and then floated on the streets of the city, flying forward quickly, passing one skyscraper after another, and when passing a particularly tall building, "Chen Zhipeng's head" suddenly erupted like a monster, lighting the entire building into a burning torch. Then the rain fell, slowly extinguishing the flames, leaving only puffs of smoke wafting out of the building.

"This is to show ......, okay, the first demo is here, please don't go away, the second part will start immediately." Chen Zhipeng explained again on the side, but every time people heard his explanation, what they saw was the magical performance of "Chen Zhipeng's head" on the screen, and people couldn't help but feel full of laughter when comparing the two.

The screen of the monitor slowly went dark, and after nearly a minute, the screen slowly began to light up again. A silver-white moon appeared in the sky, and the perspective slowly moved downwards to an empty platform at the top of the mountain, where a low and thick tree next to the platform swayed its branches and leaves in the wind. A leaf fell from the tree, and slowly drifted with the wind to the feet of a dark shadow standing behind the tree, who poked its head out and looked around, and then dodged out from behind the tree and walked into the open area of the platform. Under the reflection of the moonlight, the figure of the person who came gradually revealed, he is the protagonist in "The Adventure King".

The Adventure King slowly came to the center of the platform and stood still, looked up and looked around, but found nothing, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from a big tree on the other side of the platform, raised the sharp blade in his hand, with a silver-white light, and slashed towards the Adventure King......

"The picture of this demonstration is also calculated in real time, everyone pay attention to the fluttering of the branches and leaves of the big tree, it is very real, especially the falling of the leaves, the alternation between light and dark, the changes in the texture of the front and back of the leaves, etc., are very delicate, as well as the texture of the characters, it can be clearly seen that the subtle changes in the muscles of the body when punching......" With the rotation of the picture on the screen, Chen Zhipeng held the microphone to do synchronous commentary.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure these images are calculated in real time?" Jason Jones, a representative of the Bungie Company, stood up and asked with a slight suspicion.

"Of course!" Chen Zhipeng looked at the suspicious eyes of most people, smiled and said: "Since everyone is still a little worried, then I will give you another game to try, this time it is no longer the kind of only that you can watch just now, you can also do it yourself, it is definitely very powerful." ”

After speaking, Chen Zhipeng made a gesture to the staff standing in front of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine, and the staff nodded knowingly, and withdrew the disc from the DVD drive of the game console and replaced it with a new one. A "Reading" prompt appeared on the screen, and about two minutes later, a deafening roar was heard from the speakers.

With a roar, a black MiniCooper 1.3i appeared on the runway in the screen, Chen Zhipeng took the handle with a double analog stick from the staff, and controlled the car on the screen to run along the runway. The rain suddenly came, the sky gradually became dark, the black MiniCooper turned on the headlights, and continued to run on the already slippery road despite the wind and rain.

"Come and have a look, and if you're interested, you can also give it a try." Chen Zhipeng handed over the handle in his hand to the staff on the side, beckoning everyone to come forward to watch, and at this moment, the MiniCoope, which had lost control for a short time, crashed into the oncoming safety island, making a violent impact sound, and the front of the car was deflated.

Representatives of various game companies swarmed up and gathered around the large-screen monitor to take a closer look. They watched the scene of the crash just now, some of them moved faster, and they also watched the delicate changes of light and shadow at that moment from a very close distance, and even at that moment they felt the subtle changes in the sound of the engine.

Zhang Lexing sat at the round table, pointed to the crowd around the monitor, and asked, "Sister Xin, don't you go and take a look." ”

"No need, I don't understand this kind of detail, anyway, there are experts to deal with it, and besides, brother, I can't believe you when you get something." Yang Xinxin closed the technical manual in front of her, leaned back, and replied with a smile.

With Chen Zhipeng's encouragement, Ivan Wells from Naughty Dog took the gamepad from the staff and began to continue to control the MiniCooper that had been hit by the front of the car on the screen, braving the increasing wind and rain, and driving hard. Suddenly, the rain stopped, and as the dark clouds in the sky were blown away, the sky gradually brightened, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining golden on the speeding body of the MiniCooper......

While Ivan Wells was playing, Chen Zhipeng introduced to the surrounding "audience" by the way: "Let's pay attention to the details of the changes in the body texture on the screen...... How detailed the textures of the surrounding scene are...... Later, you can also try the operation of the gamepad yourself......"

Most of the representatives of the surrounding game companies focused on the monitor screen, listening to Chen Zhipeng's explanation, while paying attention to the changes in the game, occasionally exchanging views with each other on the game scene in front of them, or touching their chins, pondering the relationship between the data on the technical manual and the picture in front of them.

After everyone drove a MiniCooper one by one as if participating in a game trial, everyone returned to their seats under Chen Zhipeng's signal. At this time, the MiniCooper, which had been running on the screen for nearly an hour, finally stopped, leaned on the side of the road, and wisps of green smoke slowly emerged from the front of the car, which had been completely deformed.

"That's it for the performance display of the game console, let me introduce you to the game development system of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine...... Chen Zhipeng connected the laptop sent by his assistant to the projector in the conference room, and then turned on the power.

"In the process of developing the game development system, we have received strong support from the VisualSystem Group in the United States, and today it happens that Ms. Yang Xinxin, the chairman of the VisualSystem Group, is also there, so I would like to express our gratitude on behalf of our game hardware development team." Chen Zhipeng looked at Yang Xinxin, who was sitting next to Zhang Lexing, and said to her with a smile: "Miss Yang, thank you!" ”

Yang Xinxin nodded with a smile and responded: "Everyone is a partner, and it is normal and appropriate to help each other, everyone said yes." ”

When the representatives of those game companies heard Yang Xinxin's words, they all immediately nodded yes. Chen Zhipeng continued: "Well, in the process of developing the game development system, we fully considered the shortcomings of those game consoles that are commonly found on the market in this regard, and adhered to the principles of easy to use, powerful, and easy to port, and finally designed this set of cross-platform game development tools XNAGameStudio. ”

"Excuse me. Mr. Chen, what does this XNA mean? Liu Tianhua, a representative of Konami Company, asked.

"This XNA is not an abbreviation for XinhuaNews Agency," Chen Zhipeng joked before continuing: "XNA is actually an abbreviation for 'XNAsNotAcronymed,' and technically XNAGameStudio is a cross-platform game development environment based on DirectX. When you read the technical manual just now, I believe you should have noticed that the operating system of our Moonlight Goddess II also contains a DirectX-like layer, which we call XNAInterface, in fact, this is a streamlined DirectX. So theoretically, the game PC developed by XNAGameStudio and the Moonlight Goddess II can run, of course, in fact, because of the complexity of the PC itself and the hardware difference with the Moonlight Goddess II machine, there is still a certain difference in the code between the two, but it will not be too ......"

Chen Zhipeng said as he called up the development interface of "XNAGameStudio": "...... This is XNAGameStudio Enterprise Edition, and that is where you are likely to have the most exposure in the future...... I believe that this interface will feel familiar to everyone. That's right, we are referring to the VisualStudio software development tool produced by the Raymond Research Campus of the VisuslSystem Group...... In XNAGameStudio, developers can use C or C++ code, as well as libraries that come with the development tools......

In order to make it easier for users to get started, in addition to the Enterprise Edition, we can also provide XNAGameStudio Professional Edition and Lite Edition......"

After Chen Zhipeng finished his introduction, Zhang Lexing knocked on the table, glanced at the representatives of various game companies, and said: "I believe that you should have a certain understanding of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2, so please make an evaluation of this game console according to your professional knowledge." ”

Wang Mengyao took a stack of evaluation forms and began to distribute them to everyone one by one, except for Zhang Lexing and Yang Xinxin, the two idlers, the representatives sitting at the round table were each handed, and while sending it, she also whispered in different languages: "Please score them one by one according to these evaluation items, and write down the reasons, and if you have other opinions, you can write them at the bottom of the table, and if the place is not enough, you can also write them on the back." ”

Hironobu Sakaguchi took the evaluation form from Wang Mengyao's hand, glanced at the evaluation items on it, and began to write. Before seeing the information, Hironobu Sakaguchi completely regarded this trip as a waste of time, and at that time, he thought that it was better to spend more time on Final Fantasy 8. After reading the information, his first thought was that there was no way to develop a game console other than Japan and the United States.

But when the real machine was in front of him, and the game demo was actually played, Hironobu Sakaguchi had to believe it, especially the "Chen Zhipeng Head" section, which he had seen at the Sega press conference a few months ago, and was shocked at the time, and even moved the idea of porting "Final Fantasy" to the Dreamcast console. The "Shoichiro Irito's Head" that was originally broadcast on the Dreamcast console immediately became ordinary compared to today's demo. If it weren't for the racing game that could be operated by himself, he really doubted that the so-called "Chen Zhipeng's head" was an animation rendered in advance by a graphics workstation, and now it was just taken out and played. However, the changes of light and shadow in racing games are also very complex, and even contain more details than "Chen Zhipeng's head", which he can't help but believe.

After believing in the performance of Moonlight Goddess II, Hironobu Sakaguchi couldn't help but feel a wave of regret in his heart, if "Final Fantasy 8" could be changed to Moonlight Goddess II, then many setbacks encountered in these days would no longer be obstacles, and maybe a more exciting "Final Fantasy" could be created. Thinking of this, Hironobu Sakaguchi wrote in the "Other Opinions and Suggestions" column: "I hope to consider the possibility of a porting of Final Fantasy." ”

Jason Jones was also writing his opinion, but his mood was more of a pleasant. In fact, he came to Hong Kong this time to participate in the assessment meeting, more to come out and look for some inspiration. Bungie is currently considering a strategy game project, and the original plan was to put players in control of an entire team of interstellar marines fighting against a horde of cunning aliens chirping crookedly, just like Mythology: Fallen Gods. Players can move around the battlefield at once, deploy a large number of units, or manipulate a unit directly to play the game in a way similar to a first-person perspective.

However, as the project progressed, Jason Jones soon found that the mainstream performance of the current PC, or even the mainstream performance in a year, might not be able to meet the smooth progress of the game mode, so the design team modified the planned game mode to a pure FPS game, and the player control was no longer an entire interstellar marine, but a warrior. However, the complexity of the PC platform still caused Jason Jones a headache, and in order to play smoothly, he had to sacrifice the sophistication of the game, and maybe even the atmosphere they envisioned.

"Can you imagine? If the player can't tell the difference between running through a patch of grass and a piece of water in a game, then how can the environment affect the game? "Jason Jones often says this or something to his peers.

But today, after seeing the Moonlight Goddess II machine, Jason Jones feels that he has found a solution, the development of the PC is not easy to grasp, but the game console is very easy to grasp, if the game they envisioned is changed to the Moonlight Goddess II machine, I believe that those problems that once bothered them will disappear. And "XNAGameStudio" is not known as cross-platform development, and there will be no shortage of Moonlight Goddess No. 2 and PC at that time. What's more, Oriental Industrial Group's partner is VisualSystem Group, an IT giant that has been developing for many years, and also has a successful video game development company like KF-Panda in its hands, both companies are not short of money, and the resources at hand are very rich, Jason Jones believes that the Moonlight Goddess II will be successful.

Representatives of other game companies are also seriously making evaluations, but their ideas are not the same, some are thinking about what games their company has that can be transplanted to the Moonlight Goddess II to make a profit, and some are considering what kind of excitement the projects in the company's development will be if they are transferred to the Moonlight Goddess II machine. However, there is one thing that everyone thinks similarly, they have no doubt about the possibility of the success of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine, think about these game companies here, think about the number of best-selling games in the hands of these game companies, think about the strong technical and financial strength of the Oriental Industrial Group and VisualSystem Group, all of which have brought full guarantee for the success of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2.
