Global monopoly of technology

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

Luo Sheng’s voice continued to spread throughout the audience: “This is the appearance of the Pro version. ACCPro is thinner and more efficient. It is a leap forward for the next-generation console. It will attract more consumer groups. Players all over the world are looking for excellent ones. Home interactive entertainment system, using the ACC console you can immediately enjoy the exclusive entertainment experience six months in advance. With the release of many excellent game masterpieces next month, the holiday season is coming. What is certain is that the first game masterpieces that land in ACC include " The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings, GTA: Song of Merry Tony, Minecraft, etc."

As soon as this remark came out, fans of "GTA" and "The Witcher" off the court could not help but scream and cheer. These two games are definitely the current best-selling masterpieces in the world, especially R Star's "GTA" series. Kind of grand prize.

People in the industry are not surprised, because the producers of these games have been acquired by Luo Sheng long ago, and it is inevitable to log on to the ACC host platform.

Luo Sheng fiddled with his body language with his hands walking back and forth on the stage, saying: "ACC games bring new experiences that change the definition of interactive entertainment. Developers are forging ahead and pushing the graphics, gameplay and storylines to unprecedented new heights. In fact, ACC has become the "Grand Canyon" we are looking forward to. It supports from 3A masterpieces to 4399 mini games, and connects our social entertainment through family networking. We are committed to innovation and new business models for successful transactions."

When talking about this, some foreigners don't quite understand what 4399 is, but they also know what a mini game is.

However, among the domestic players, some netizens who understand English can not help but smile, and subconsciously think of the little game of Uncle Beard's gold mining.

"We have always wanted to design ACC as a new platform that stimulates and perceives future innovation. This future-oriented vision and the craftsmanship achieved for this purpose have been designed into the product from the very beginning."

"Next we will talk about the innovative technology behind the ACC console. When designing the ACC, we had a vision for the development of future games, and then created the hardware needed for it. We want various third-party game developers to join in. So we must ensure that ACC is easy to develop."

...

"impossible!"

At the same time, a senior technical expert at the top of Sony suddenly opened his mouth, and saw him steadfastly saying: "If the ACC host is based on the Cell chip architecture, the ease of development is simply a dream. He is deceiving developers."

It's not just Sony people who think so, but engineers from game developers all over the world think so. They felt deep hostility through PS3 game consoles equipped with Cell chips as early as five or six years ago.

It is painful to develop software on the PS3 game console platform. If Luo Sheng had followed the example of Sony and ruthlessly wiped out third parties, he would never touch this ACC platform.

This is the surprisingly consistent idea of ​​all developers.

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

"We want to give players a game experience without resistance, so we install a hard drive to ACC to reduce loading time, and the ability to quickly pause and continue the game, and of course download while playing."

When the players heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened, and the current host does not have so many outstanding abilities.

Luo Sheng looked around the audience and said: "Based on hardware, it is to develop a vibrant game community centered on the console. I need to emphasize that ACC is not to blur the boundaries of console generations, but to elevate the experience to a new level. ."

"The first and most important thing is that our goal is to provide a high-resolution image experience. As a starting point, the performance of the GPU is more than three times that of the best host on the market, and it adopts the new features of the Cell architecture and other improvements. Many new technologies."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng suddenly smiled confidently: “Here, we have created a brand-new HDR exclusive technology patent through independent research and development, and we are close partners with Samsung to promote a series of hardware innovations to make efficient 4K rendering. This has become a reality, and it has made the games running on ACCPro reach a high-resolution level that was considered impossible in 2010."

Those in the industry who heard this were shocked.

The ACC host on the Riviera can already achieve 4K rendering?

What international joke?

4K technology has just taken off, is it about to enter the commercialization stage here?

It is no wonder that Samsung and the Côte d'Azur will have a long-term close cooperation relationship on the display screen. If it is not exaggerated as Luo Sheng said, this patent Samsung Electronics is also in great need of a key display technology that cannot be separated.

Luo Sheng was very satisfied when he saw the audience's reaction at the scene. He smiled and said, "OK, seeing is believing, now I will show you the real picture quality in the game, and it is up to you to judge."

After speaking, he pressed the small remote control in his hand again, and the big screen immediately showed a picture, which was an inside picture of the "GTA" game.

At this moment there was a cry of exclamation from the audience.

"This picture quality, my goodness!!"

"The quality of the game now has reached such a fairy level?"

"Movie-quality picture quality OMG!!!"

"I promise, my graphics card will hang up."

"Are you sure you see the game quality in 2010?"

Everyone fry the pot, and put such a big move when they came up. Not only the players fry the pot, but the people in the industry fry the pot.

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

At the same time, the president of R Star sitting on the scene looked happy, thinking that "GTA5" could be postponed to 2015. Well, at this level, it can take five years of rhythm.

If the players of "GTA" knew his thoughts, they might want to hammer his rhythm.

For other game companies, 3A-level sequels usually release sequels within one to two years. The R-star operation is so irritating, every five years?Not afraid of being forgotten by the players.

This is the urine of R star.

On the stage, Luo Sheng waited until the audience digested almost, and immediately spoke again with a natural smile: "For those players and developers who prioritize smooth frames, we have increased the CPU frequency. We know the game’s Sustainability is very important. The ACCPro model will be equipped with a 1TB mechanical hard drive to ensure that you have enough space to experience the new experience, and the more powerful ACCPlus model will also be equipped with an additional 256GB solid state drive."

Solid-state hard drives are rare and high-end products in this era. They are very expensive. They are not as popular as later, and most people cannot afford them.

If the standard ACC model is the normal version, then ACCPro is the professional enhanced version, while ACCPlus is the deluxe version, which is suitable for real super enthusiasts.

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

Luo Sheng methodically introduced: "The result of these improvements is a home game console that can provide 4K TV owners with an unmatched experience, and a more perfect experience for those using HD TVs. Next, I will provide you Show all aspects of the prototype, and show the huge innovation that HDR brings to game content."

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

"4K TVs provide a lot of details. Now there are 720P megapixel TVs and 1080P two-megapixel TVs. 4K TVs provide an amazing 8 megapixel resolution. The visual depth and detail that can be achieved is really amazing. extremely."

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

Luo Sheng pressed the gesture, and after the applause fell, he continued: “Of course, the BruteForce rendering technology can 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 lower cost but more expensive For fast rendering technology."

Industry insiders: "..."

Is this Chiguoguo's development prowess?

I really want to go up and beat him up after hearing this.

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "This rendering can provide the owner with the advantage of customized hardware. When combined with the best TXAA and spatial anti-aliasing algorithms, the results are amazing. The next game I want to show is The ability to fully display 4K displays is very close. The scenes are recorded by ACC real-time calculations and played on 4K projectors in the cinema. For those who watch the press conference at home, we will release 4K versions of these videos after the end, so you can Better appreciate the video content shown today."

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

"OMG!!!"

On the scene again, there were bursts of exclamation subconsciously, and everyone's eyes were staring at the video in the giant screen.

And Luo Sheng introduced in narration: "The image at the beginning is from the Iron Man of Marvel Pictures. The details of the city are very powerful. Many new features such as passers-by in the distance are just blurred on the HD TV. Here is very clear. , And for Iron Man itself, the texture details of the steel suit are so clear that it was absolutely unimaginable before."

Immediately after this video was broadcast, a new video was changed, Luo Sheng continued to introduce:

"This is the image of CDPR's game "The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings" running on ACCPro. The fierceness and realism we seek in the game are no better than now. The long-distance and high-resolution terrain highlights the host and The ability of 4K display, the extremely high task and environmental details in the game brings intense sense of reality and gaming experience."

"Reality can also increase the intrusion of feelings. The third video allows us to walk into the image of Laura who is strong and fragile. In "Tomb Raider 9", our developers are committed to applying hardware functions to the game. In all aspects, whether it is Laura’s hair, face, clothes, weapons or shadows, or terrain or special effects, it makes the environment real and conclusive. This is the real experience of ACC changing the game."

After that, the screen was black for a few seconds and the fourth video was played again. At this time, the players were already kneeling by the unprecedented visual impact brought by the game video. A large group of players were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It's like passing away.

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

After speaking, Luo Sheng fell into silence, and the picture on the screen advanced every minute.

In the video, "GTA" internal city secondments, pedestrians, vehicles, and overlooks are shown one by one in front of all the audience.

After the video was played, the giant screen returned to the ACC exclusive logo, and the stage lights came on again.

The scene once again presented the most enthusiastic applause since the opening of the press conference. For most players, it is like some domestic players who slashed legends. Suddenly they saw the CG promo of "World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King". The picture quality is equally shocking.

buy!buy!buy!

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