Chapter 422 [4K Rendering, God-level Game Quality]

At the press conference, Luo Sheng pressed the small remote control in his hand, switched the screen on the big screen, and showed everyone the appearance of the ACC host for the first time, which was black.

Luo Sheng's voice continued to spread throughout the audience: "This is the appearance of the Pro version, ACC Pro is thinner and more efficient, it is a leap forward in the next generation of consoles, which will attract more consumer groups, players around the world are looking for excellent family interactive entertainment systems, using ACC consoles you can immediately enjoy the exclusive entertainment experience half a year in advance, with many excellent game masterpieces on sale next month, the holiday season is coming, it is certain that the first game masterpieces to land in ACC include "The Witcher 2: King Assassin" , GTA: The Merry Tony Song, Minecraft and many more. ”

As soon as these words came out, the "GTA" fans and "The Witcher" fans in the audience couldn't help but scream and cheer, these two games are definitely the current global best-selling masterpieces, especially the "GTA" series of R stars, the kind that won various awards in the early years.

Industry insiders are not surprised, because the producer company of these games has been acquired by Luo Sheng a long time ago, and it is inevitable to land on the ACC console platform.

Luo Sheng fiddled with his hands and body language and walked back and forth on the stage, saying: "ACC games bring a new experience that changes the definition of interactive entertainment, developers are forging ahead, pushing the graphics, gameplay, and story to unprecedented new heights, ACC has actually become the 'Grand Canyon' we are looking forward to, supporting from 3A masterpieces to 4399 mini-games, connecting our social entertainment through home networking, and we are committed to a new model of innovation and commercial successful transactions." ”

When it comes to this, some foreigners don't know much about what 4399 is, but they also know what a small game is.

But among domestic players, some melon-eating netizens who understand English couldn't help but smile, and subconsciously thought of Uncle Beard's small game of digging gold mines.

"We have always wanted to design ACC as a new platform to stimulate and perceive future innovations, and this future-oriented vision and the processes that have been realized for this have been designed into the product from the very beginning."

"Next we talk about the innovation behind the ACC console, when we designed ACC, we had a vision for the future of the game, and then we created the hardware that needed it, and we wanted various third-party game developers to come in, so we wanted to make sure that ACC was easy to develop."

……

"Impossible!"

At the same time, a senior technical expert at Sony's top management suddenly spoke, only to see him say firmly without hurry: "If the ACC host is based on the Cell chip architecture, it is easy to develop, it is a fool's dream, and he is deceiving the developer." ”

That's not just the case at Sony, it's the engineers at game developers around the world who felt the deep hostility five or six years ago with the Cell-powered PS3 console.

Developing software on the PS3 game console platform is painful, and if Luo Sheng also learns from Sony's ruthless annihilation of a third party, he will definitely not touch this ACC platform.

This is surprisingly unanimous thinking among all developers.

However, Luo Sheng did not know the current psychological activities of the third-party developer, but continued to speak at his own pace.

"We want to give players a frictionless gaming experience, so we put a hard drive on ACC to reduce loading times, as well as the ability to quickly pause, resume playing, and of course, download while playing."

Players were immediately amazed when they heard this, and the current console does not have so many excellent abilities.

Luo Sheng looked around the audience and said, "Hardware-based is the development of a vibrant gaming community centered on consoles, and I need to emphasize once that ACC is not about blurring the boundaries of console generations, but about taking the experience to new heights." ”

"First and foremost, our goal is to deliver a high-resolution image experience, and with that as a starting point, the GPU is more than three times the performance of the best consoles on the market today, with new features in the Cell architecture and many more new technologies."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng suddenly smiled confidently: "Here, through our independent research and development of the new HDR exclusive technology patent, and with its close partnership with Samsung, we have promoted a series of hardware innovations to make efficient 4K rendering a reality, and also made the game running on ACC Pro reach a high resolution level that was considered impossible in 2010." ”

Industry insiders who heard this were shocked.

The ACC host on the CΓ΄te d'Azur can already achieve 4K rendering?

What international jokes?

4K technology is just emerging, and is it about to enter the commercialization stage?

It is no wonder that Samsung and the Cote d'Azur have been working closely with each other for a long time on the display, if it is really not exaggerated as Luo Sheng said, this patent Samsung Electronics is also very much needed, inseparable from a key display technology.

Luo Sheng was very satisfied when he saw the audience's reaction at the scene, and said with a smile: "OK, seeing is believing, now I will show you the real picture quality in the game, and you will judge." ”

After speaking, I saw that he pressed the small remote control in his hand again, and the big screen immediately released a picture, which was a picture of the interior of the "GTA" game.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the audience.

"This quality, oh my God!!"

"The current game graphics have reached this level of immortality?"

"Cinematic quality OMG !!"

"I promise, my graphics card is going to hang up."

"Are you sure you're looking at the 2010 game?"

Everyone has fried the pot, and as soon as it comes up, it is such a big move, not only the players have fried the pot, but also the industry insiders have fried the pot.

At this moment, the senior management of Sony, Microsoft and other friends saw a picture displayed in the live broadcast of the press conference, and everyone was extremely dignified.

At the same time, the president of R Star, who was sitting at the scene, looked happy, thinking that "GTA5" could be postponed to 2015, well, at this level, it can eat a five-year rhythm.

GTA players would want to hammer him to death if they knew what he was thinking.

Other game companies, 3A-level sequels are generally launched in one to two years, and the R-star operation is so sassy, and it will be pushed every five years? I'm not afraid of being forgotten by players.

This is the urine nature of the R star.

Luo Sheng on the stage was almost digested by the audience, and then spoke again with a natural smile: "For those players and developers who prioritize smooth frame rates, we have increased the CPU frequency, we know that the continuity of the game is very important, the ACC Pro model will be equipped with a 1TB HDD to ensure that you have enough space to experience the new experience, and the more powerful ACC Plus model will also be equipped with an additional 256GB SSD." ”

SSDs were a rare and high-end commodity in this era, very expensive, and not as popular as later, and most people could not afford them.

If the standard ACC model is the regular version, then the ACC Pro is the professional plus version, while the ACC Plus is the deluxe version, a model suitable for true super enthusiasts.

The players at the scene once again gave warm applause and cheers, which was definitely beyond expectations, and the display of just one picture can be called a nuclear bomb-level move, but the greater the momentum, the darker the faces of international friends and businessmen.

"The result of these improvements is a home gaming console that can provide an unrivalled experience for 4K TV owners, bringing a more perfect experience to those who use HDTV, and I'm going to show you all the aspects of the prototype and how HDR can revolutionize gaming content," Luo said. ”

Luo Sheng looked back at the big screen again, and pressed the small remote control three times in a row, and three identical pictures were superimposed on the screen.

"4K TVs offer a lot of detail, and now there are 720P megapixel TVs, 1080P two-megapixel TVs. And 4K TVs offer an astonishing eight-megapixel resolution, and the visual depth and detail that can be achieved is truly stunning. ”

The same picture displayed on the screen, the largest one that accounts for more than 70% of the screen is the imaging result supported by 4K technology, and the exaggerated details made the players on the scene applaud again.

Luo Sheng suppressed the gesture, and after the applause fell, he continued: "Brute Force rendering technology can certainly be used to support these displays, but it will increase the cost of the host, so our strategy on ACC is to develop a relatively cheaper but faster rendering technology ourselves. ”

Industry Insiders: "......"

Is this Chiguoguo's show-off development strength?

When I heard this, I really wanted to go up and beat him.

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "This kind of rendering can provide the owner with the advantage of custom hardware, and when combined with the best TXAA and spatial anti-aliasing algorithms, the results are amazing." The next game I'm going to show is the ability to fully display the 4K display is very close, the scene is recorded by ACC real-time algorithms, played in a movie theater with a 4K projector, those who are watching the press conference at home, and after the end of the video we will release the 4K version of the video, so you can better enjoy the video content shown today. ”

After speaking, the lights of the stage dimmed again, and the pictures of the major giant screens began.

β€œOMG!!!”

There were bursts of exclamations from the scene again, and everyone's eyes were staring intently at the video on the giant screen.

And Luo Sheng's narration introduced: "The image at the beginning comes from Marvel Studios' Iron Man, the details of the city are very strong, and many new features such as passers-by in the distance are just blurred on the high-definition TV, which is extremely clear here, and for Iron Man itself, the texture details of the steel suit are so clear that they are suffocating, which was absolutely unimaginable before." ”

Immediately after the broadcast of this video, a new video was added, and Luo Sheng continued to introduce:

"This is the picture of CDPR's game The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings running on ACC Pro, and the intensity and realism we are looking for in the game cannot be better than now, with long distances and high-resolution terrain highlighting the capabilities of the console and 4K display, and the extremely high level of mission and environmental detail in the game brings an intense sense of realism and gameplay experience."

"Realism can also increase emotional intrusion, and the third video takes us into the image of Lara's strong and vulnerable, and in Tomb Raider 9, our developers are committed to applying hardware to every aspect of the game, whether it's Lara's hair, face, clothes, weapons or shadows, or terrain or special effects, to make the environment realistic and conclusive, which is a real game-changing experience for ACC."

After speaking, the screen went dark for a few seconds and played the fourth video again, and the players at this time had been kneeling for the unprecedented visual impact brought by the game video, and a large group of players were like Grandma Liu had never seen the world when she entered the Grand View Garden.

And Luo Sheng introduced again: "Next, let's take a look at some scenes inside "GTA" and let it speak for itself." ”

After speaking, Luo Sheng fell silent, and the picture on the screen advanced minute by minute.

In the video, the city secondment, pedestrians, transportation, and overlooking scenery inside "GTA" are displayed in front of all the viewers one by one.

As the video was played, the giant screen returned to the ACC exclusive logo, and the stage lights were lit up again.

For most players, it was as shocking as some domestic players who cut legends and suddenly saw the god-level picture quality of the CG promotional video of "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King".

Buy! Buy! Buy!

This is the thought of countless excited players at this moment.
