Chapter 244: Yin Wei Da: Despicable, actually making a remake of an old game!
You know, the GTX 1080 graphics card released a few weeks ago only has 2560 stream processors.
At this time, the number of stream processors of your Xingtu S80 graphics card has reached 9728, which is 1080 times that of the current GTX 3.8 graphics card.
With so many extra stream processors, how powerful is this Xingtu S80 graphics card?
In addition, the size of the graphics card's video memory is also a key data. Currently, the most powerful GTX 1080 graphics card on the market has only 8GB of video memory.
Your Xingtu S80 graphics card has an astonishing 16GB of video memory. This size of video memory is simply amazing and exciting.
Finally, with the unusually eye-catching core frequency parameters, players were very excited, knowing that the hardware performance of this graphics card was directly exploded.
Of course, no matter how powerful the hardware performance is, if there is no game optimization, it will only be less than 10% of its 5% potential.
I just don’t know if the Xingtu S80 graphics card has been optimized?
Faced with the curiosity and uneasiness rising in the hearts of many old players, Lin Feng naturally did not keep them waiting for long.
After briefly introducing the hardware parameters of this low-profile version, Lin Feng quickly moved on to the game introduction session.
“We are very grateful to a group of game enthusiasts on the Internet.
They used the Unreal 4 game engine to create many remastered games, which greatly addressed the gaming needs of players.”
When he said this, the projection screen behind Lin Feng turned into a picture of a gaming website called "Changwan".
On this game playing website, people see the names of many 3D stand-alone games.
There are a lot of these 3D stand-alone games, whether they are old games from several years or even decades ago, or new games that were released less than a month ago, all are available.
Of course, the graphics of those old games are not the same as the graphics of today's remastered games.
For example, "Civilization 4", an old game released in October 2005.
In this old game, the game engine used is the GameBryo graphics engine, not the Unreal 4 game engine that was officially launched two years ago.
But the current Changwan Game website displays the game screen of "Civilization 4".
However, the game screen is regenerated by Unreal 4 game engine, and the character models in the promotional pictures are also more refined and realistic.
In the subsequent download and actual machine trial, it can be clearly seen that the game graphics are not the original "Civilization 4" game graphics.
The graphics of the remastered version of "Civilization 4" downloaded from the Changwan Game website are very delicate and beautiful.
It is pleasing to the eyes, and people will not give up trying out "Civilization 2005" like the old version of "Civilization 4" released in 4 because of the poor game graphics.
“As you can see, this is the remastered version of Civilization 4 that we found and downloaded for trial play on the mysterious game website.
This remastered version of "Civilization 4" uses the Unreal 4 game engine, so the game's graphics have completely changed.
However, after players' trial reports, we found that the game graphics have changed.
However, the gameplay and various parameters of the game are still exactly the same. In short, this is a version of "Civilization 4" with upgraded graphics.
Of course, in addition to the improvement in picture quality, the internal improvement is also quite large, just take the number of cores that the game can support as an example.
The old version of "Civilization 4" was released in 2005. It used the GameBryo graphics engine, so this game only supports single-core operation.
This means that even if your processor has 100 cores, you can actually only use the performance of one core.
Turn-based games like "Civilization 4" are the most CPU-intensive games.
This means that when players play this game, the actual hardware performance is in a state of half the result with twice the effort, resulting in a huge waste of performance.
However, the remastered version of "Civilization 4" found on the Changwan Game website does not have this problem because it uses the Unreal 4 game engine.
Therefore, it can naturally support multi-core CPU processors. The more cores a CPU processor has, the better its performance can be.
Finally, when the old players of "Civilization 4" were playing the remastered version of "Civilization 4", they found that it was difficult to play the "big map" for more than rounds.
The phenomenon of having to wait several minutes after each round to enter the next round no longer exists. Now, because multiple cores can perform computing tasks together, it only takes one or two seconds to enter the next round directly, without waiting in vain.
This is a huge boon for Civilization 4 players.
The same phenomenon not only occurs in the game "Civilization 4", but also appears in other old games.
It can be said that the remastered version of the old game made by the mysterious game remaster developer is simply the savior of the old game.
After all, to be honest, some of these old games are not unfun, they are actually quite classics, otherwise they wouldn't be so famous.
It’s just because the graphics are so bad and a bit out of date that it’s been abandoned by players and they don’t even want to try it out.
Now, there are remastered versions of old games on the Changwan Game website with better graphics and support for multi-core operation, which directly make up for the biggest shortcoming of the old games, which was the poor graphics quality.
That means there are suddenly a lot more good games to play on the market, which is naturally good news for gamers around the world.”
After hearing Lin Feng's words, the people at the scene were stunned for a moment, and then they all applauded excitedly.
Even the people who applauded included netizens who were watching the live broadcast. We can only say that Xingtu Technology was really awesome this time.
Although this kind of "I have a friend"-like method is a bit shameless, for players, they don't care whether you are despicable or not.
The players’ task is to play fun games. Now that there are remastered versions of old games with upgraded graphics, it means that the number of fun games has suddenly increased.
This naturally made them happy and ecstatic, so they really praised the despicable methods of Xingtu Technology.
"hateful."
Canada, Invida Corporation headquarters.
At this time, Old Huang, the president of Weida Company, was looking at the 'smug' Lin Feng on the phone screen and was so angry that his teeth were itching.
This damn Lin Feng actually didn't follow the rules and directly and illegally infringed on other companies' games, upgrading the graphics quality of other companies' games without changing them.
This behavior is really too despicable, and it is too harmful to Weida.
However, when Huang, the president of Invida, thought that Lin Feng's action was just that.
What Lin Feng said next made Lao Huang so angry that he was furious.
"Gentlemen, there is actually a piece of news that you may not know. We at Penguin have reached a cooperation.
This cooperation means that we spent US$6 million to acquire the shares of Epic Games held by Penguin.
Among them, Penguin held 48% of Epic Games' shares, and we bought all of them.
Finally, together with the shares we purchased from other shareholders, we now officially control 51% of Epic Games' shares.
So this Epic Games company will be our new subsidiary, and will soon be officially renamed Xingtu Unreal Engine Company.
As for what Epic Games originally did? What made it worthwhile for us to spend so much to acquire it?
This company has only one business, which is to develop and operate the Unreal series of game engines!
There are many popular games and 3A masterpieces in the world today, which are produced using Unreal 3 or Unreal 4 game engines.
So the game engine of this company is quite good, which is why we were willing to spend $6 million to acquire it. "
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Weida's president Lao Huang was so angry again that he cursed Lin Feng for being a son of a poor family.
You can't blame Nvidia's president Huang for being so angry, because the Unreal 4 game engine is really too important.
As time goes by, the Unreal 4 game engine has become a core pillar that can influence the entire game industry.
