   In the winter of 2006, the sun shone on the building of the U.S. Star Electronic Entertainment Division, reflecting a radiant light, which seemed to make this building look much more beautiful than other buildings.

   "Morning Mike."

   "Morning, Carl."

   At nine o'clock, employees came to the company one after another and sat down at their respective workstations.

   The first thing they think of when they sit at the workstation is to turn on the computer, and then immediately enter the development state of the game.

  Because the total working hours are limited, overtime is not recommended.

   But the game development schedule is very tight.

   Then the only thing employees can do is to increase their work efficiency as much as possible at work.

   Fortunately, although the rhythm and schedule of the work are tight, as long as you work hard during the working hours, you can still get it done, unless you are lazy or something, then you can't blame yourself.

   Recently, the development of Titanfall has entered the stage of about 90%.

Christmas is coming, and there will be a long holiday. If they don't get their work done before then, they won't be able to have a good time during the holiday. They will keep thinking that they haven't finished yet. work.

  From the current point of view, the rhythm of everything is just right, and there are no major problems.

  Before Christmas, the demo DEMO of Titanfall will be officially released, and everyone is preparing for this demo demo as much as possible, hoping that it will be as perfect as possible.

In fact, almost all the levels of Titanfall have been completed now, and the rest are some corners and corners, but it is also very important work, that is, checking the game loopholes, and further improving the picture, as much as possible to the game. The machine performance is squeezed out.

   Zhu Youxing came here very early today, preparing to have a meeting with the core staff, to extend some details of the game later, and to confirm the overall status of the game.

   In the conference room, the battle sound of the fall of the Titans had already sounded.

  The story has entered a critical period where players can control Titans to actually fight on the battlefield.

   Arno is showing Zhu Yuxing all the gameplay of Titanfall in person.

   Whenever Arnold looks at this almost finished game, he can't help but feel proud.

   Because this is the biggest game development project I have ever participated in.

   And this may be an industry benchmark first-person shooter game, as long as the release is successful, then he will also be destined to leave his name in the history of game development.

   So at this moment, he seemed a little excited, and he couldn't help but smile when he demonstrated the game development to Zhu Yuxing.

   Finally, he completed a complete Titan mech battle level, and then looked at Zhu Yuxing behind him like a child waiting to be praised.

   "Boss, what do you think? Is it ready for the market?"

   Zhu Yuxing didn't say anything, but continued to look at the screen.

   Seeing Zhu Yuxing's performance, Arnold didn't dare to say more, but waited for Zhu Yuxing's response.

   "The frame rate of this game seems to be unstable."

   After waiting for a few minutes, Zhu Yuxing finally spoke.

   "Oh, about the frame rate, it's like this. Some optimization work of the game has not been completed yet. We will strengthen it in the final stage and strive to stabilize the frame rate."

   "How stable can it be?" Zhu Yuxing asked.

   "About... 30 frames." Arnold is also a little unsure now.

   The specific optimization effect depends on the technical team. He has not paid much attention to it before. After all, the game is almost completed, and more is not technical work.

   Only thirty frames?

   Take Yuxing is not particularly satisfied with the performance of this frame rate.

   But it's not easy to do this with the current GSX console performance.

   Zhu Youxing never played Titanfall on the console platform in his previous life, so he didn't know what the frame rate performance of Titanfall was on the console platform at that time.

   But the frame rate performance effect of the PC platform is still fresh in the memory of Zhu Yuxing.

   Relying on the powerful graphics card performance, Zhuyouxing can easily achieve more than 60 frames on the PC platform.

   And sometimes the game experience gap between 60 frames and 30 frames is quite big.

   However, players in this era don’t have such high frame rate requirements.

   Using 30fps on home consoles is not a big problem, and players will accept it.

   But, I can't accept it.

   In the era before he passed through, the performance of the processor has skyrocketed to a very high level, at least two or three times higher than the current era of this world.

   At that time, the scene that led to the fall of the Titan was not a problem at all.

   And his era has gradually changed from the pursuit of the ultimate picture to the higher pursuit of the number of frames.

   Take Yusei is not particularly willing to let the frame rate become only 30 frames.

   "Boss, don't you think this frame rate is particularly high? Most of our top game frames on home consoles used to be like this."

   Arno asked cautiously.

  Take Yusei looked at Arno and said, "I know that, but I think maybe we can make some new progress in this regard."

   "Then boss, if we have to make some concessions in the number of frames, the performance of the picture will be lowered by a grade."

  Zhu Yuxing thought for a moment and said, "Do you have a picture that is downgraded by one level, and display it directly on the game console. I want to see the actual effect."

   "This was not prepared before, but it is not troublesome to adjust, I will have someone prepare it now."

   Zhu Youxing nodded: "Then go get ready, this kind of thing is not in a hurry."

The    meeting will be temporarily suspended, and Zhu Yuxing still hopes to see a higher frame rate performance effect.

   But if you need to give up too much picture performance because of the number of frames, then Zhu Yuxing will definitely not agree.

   It’s just that everything has to be seen in reality.

  It took about a morning for the staff to adjust the screen.

   Before the home computer did not add the function of screen adjustment, so adding this function later will be a little slow.

   But the screen adjustment on the PC platform has been done very well before, so it is not a big problem.

   In the afternoon, the meeting will start again, and Zhu Yuxing will meet again with Arno and some core staff in the conference room.

   This time Arnold will lower the level of the picture to show.

   At the same time, the number of frames has also been increased to 60 frames.

   Originally, under the effect of 30 frames in the game, the overall performance of Titanfall was also very strong, but when the game reached 60 frames, suddenly everything seemed to be completely different again.

   When Arnold got started and adjusted the 60-frame Titan Fall, he was also a little stunned.

  This...it seems to have gotten a little cooler?

   But it shouldn’t. Obviously, the picture quality has been reduced a little, and it stands to reason that the visual sense will also decrease, but the feedback after the frame rate increase is much higher than the sacrificed picture quality.

   Zhu Youxing also nodded slightly at this time: "It seems that the effect is not bad, what do you think?"

   Arnold answered very honestly: "It's really good, it's really strange, I thought that sacrificing the picture quality would greatly reduce the experience."
