The Dream 5 engine is a new thing.

Everyone is familiar with the fourth-generation engine, but the new fifth-generation dream building engine, many game manufacturers are currently on the sidelines.

Leapfrogging game performance?

The promotional slogan is quite bluffing, but the mainstream game manufacturers feel that before the release of the next-generation game console in the real sense, the slogan of the Dream 5 engine can only be a slogan.

As a 3A manufacturer, I feel that there is no need to rush, and it is too late to wait for the release of the new next-generation console and develop an exclusive game.

And those small factories that don't do 3A are not in a hurry.

They can't use the new features advertised by Dream Builder 5, and the mature Dream Builder 4 platform can already meet their needs.

As a result, there was a strange scene in the game industry.

The game developer who was the first to officially announce the use of the Dream 5 engine to develop a new game is actually a small studio that has never heard of it before.

Take a look at their masterpieces......

Forehead! Dude, what kind of plane are you doing?

Do you need the Dream 5 engine? I feel like you've got enough of Dream 3!

No one takes the official announcement of "The Emperor of the Stars" seriously, because in their opinion, Tianba Studio took the lead in using the Dream Building 5 engine, which is no different from killing chickens with a knife.

If you really want to reflect the power of the Dream 5 engine, you have to look at the 3A masterpiece.

Of course!

Not everyone thinks that Tianba Studio can't use the Dream 5 engine well, it's just a gimmick.

The world's largest graphics card manufacturer, in order to popularize its "game graphics" technology, so that Nvidia took great pains to pay attention to Tianba.

To be precise, they wanted the first game developed with the Dream 5 engine to support their ray-traced graphics technology and make special optimizations for their graphics cards.

As for whether the game is fun or not?

Unimportant!

Nvidia quickly approached Chen Ba with a box of the latest 30-series graphics cards and put forward their request.

"Aha?"

Chen Ba, who inexplicably received a box of graphics card sponsorship, was a little confused: "Let's use the RTX ray tracing and AI technology platform to fully demonstrate the advantages of the platform?" ”

When did Lao Huang be so kind?

The graphics cards sent are in demand, and you can't buy them on the market, and the ones sent by Lao Huang are definitely not mining cards.

"Many players are paying attention to the Dream Building 5 engine, and the new engine has greatly improved the game image quality."

Yang Dong said thoughtfully: "As the first batch of games developed with the Dream Building 5 engine, it is normal for NVIDIA to run to gain popularity. ”

Plainly.

It doesn't matter if the game is a piece of or not, what matters is that they want to use the game "Star King" to promote their game graphics technology.

It's all too common!

Game graphics technology, then you have to rely on the power of game developers to promote, which is why Lao Huang likes to sponsor new games.

In addition to this, there is also a hidden reason for the special optimization for N cards, which is convenient to consolidate the existing game market share.

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "Our new game, the main focus is the first-hand picture quality, Lao Huang doesn't come to sponsor, we have to optimize him." ”

"Indeed!"

Chen Ba nodded.

Lao Huang still looks up to Tianba Studio too much.

Even if he doesn't send this batch of graphics cards, Tianba Studio will still optimize the N card, after all, the market share of the N card is too high.

Steam once did a statistical survey to find out what computer configurations players were using to play the game.

The results were astonishing.

The graphics card with the highest proportion is actually the 1060 series that was released many years ago, and it has pulled the second place by a large margin, and the player usage rate of N card is far higher than that of A card.

In other words.

Today's PC games are basically the world of N cards, and there are only a few games, and the A card experience will be better than that of N cards.

Tianba Studio wants to eat this bowl of rice on the PC side, even if it is reluctant, it has to pinch its nose to optimize the N card, otherwise the player will have to scold.

However, it is quite profitable to be able to prostitute a box of graphics cards for nothing, and there are also a lot of game graphics and AI technology to use.

Lao Huang, good buddy!

Chen Ba, who has always valued righteousness, since he accepted Lao Huang's graphics card, he has to do something for him, otherwise he will have a guilty conscience with this graphics card.

Lao Huang's requirements are also simple.

It's nothing more than when the game "Star Emperor" is promoted, a little technical display, especially ray tracing and picture quality, must be shown hard!

Business blows each other!

You praise me for my game of bullishness, I praise you for your skills, look at each other and smile, and call the heroes of the world only the king and the ear, leaving a group of players to look at each other.

It just so happened that Tianba Studio was planning to make a preview video of the game "Star Emperor" before the Spring Festival holiday.

Lao Huang came at the right time!

The video is actually a CG animation, not a demonstration of the actual machine.

The game now only has a large framework and a few characters modeling, and it is certainly unrealistic to do a real-life demonstration, just use CG to arouse curiosity.

CG is produced by an outsourcing company.

The content is very simple, mainly to introduce the genre of the game, as well as the background of the game, and highlight the main selling points of the game.

What is the selling point?

Of course, it is a cool battle scene created by the Dream Building 5 engine, RTX platform technology, and Oriental Fantasy Xianxia art design.

Because the game has just begun, there are not many things that can be used to show, so the battle scenes that appear in the CG are only about 10 seconds.

In these ten seconds, there is only one move!

The protagonist Starry Sky Emperor has his back to all beings, standing in the depths of the universe, pointing out in front of him, and in an instant, infinite starlight gathers, and where his fingertips reach, the stars are annihilated......

This is a CG special effect, not a real game picture.

However, the Star Emperor does have such a skill, and in the imagination, the special effect of this skill is to gather starlight at his fingertips, so this CG is not fictional.

"Why turn your back on sentient beings?"

"You're stupid! We haven't pinched the face of the Starry Sky Emperor yet, if we don't turn our backs on all beings, won't we be exposed? ”

Reaching out and knocking on Xiao Lu's elm head, Chen Ba said with a speechless face: "I guess you still want to ask, where is the enemy of the Star Emperor?" ”

Don't think about it!

The face of the protagonist Starry Sky Emperor is not pinched well, and it is even more impossible for other characters to "show their faces".

Just turn your back on sentient beings.

As long as you don't turn around, who knows that the dignified Emperor Supreme doesn't have long eyes, no mouth and no nose?

Here's how the game took shape.

After pinching the character's face and refining the modeling, you can almost make a demonstration video of the actual machine, and each character will show its face at that time.

As for early access?

Faced with the question of his good friend Wang Kun's micro-message, Chen Ba thought about it and gave an extremely vague time.

"The fastest summer, the latest is uncertain, it could be autumn or next year......"
