In the winter of 2006, the sun shone on the building of the American Youxing Electronic Entertainment Branch, 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, the employees came to the company one after another, and then sat at their respective workstations.

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

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

But the time limit for game development 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 pace of work and the deadline are tight, as long as you work hard within 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 percent.

Christmas is coming, and there will be a longer holiday. If they don't hurry up and get their work done before then, they won't be able to enjoy themselves during the holidays. They will always think that they haven't finished yet. work.

From the current point of view, everything is in a good rhythm, and there are no major problems.

Before Christmas, the demo demo of Titanfall will be officially released. Everyone is preparing this demo demo intensively, hoping that it will be perfect as much as possible.

In fact, almost all the levels of Titanfall have been completed now, and the rest are some corners and corners, but they are also very important tasks, that is, checking the game loopholes, and further improving the graphics, making the game as possible as possible. Machine performance is squeezed out.

Zhu Youxing also came here very early today, preparing to hold a meeting with the core staff to expand some details behind the game, and at the same time confirm the overall status of the game.

In the conference room, the battle sounds of the fallen titans had already been heard.

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

Arnold is currently showing Zhu Youxing all the gameplay of Titanfall.

Whenever Arnold looked at this almost completed game, he couldn't help being proud.

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

And this may also be an industry benchmark first-person shooter game. As long as it is successfully released, it will also be destined to leave its own name in the history of game development.

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

Finally, he completed a complete battle level of the Titan mecha, and then looked at Zhuyouxing behind him like a child waiting to be praised.

"Boss, what do you think? Is it ready to be officially launched on the market?"

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

Seeing Zhu Youxing's performance, A Nuo didn't dare to say any more, but waited for Zhu Youxing's response.

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

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

"Oh, let's talk about the frame rate. That's it. Now some optimization work of the game has not been completed. We will strengthen it in the final stage to try to stabilize the frame rate."

"To what extent can it be stabilized?" Zhu Youxing asked.

"Probably...about thirty frames." Arnold is also a little uncertain now.

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

Only thirty frames?

Zhu Youxing is not particularly satisfied with the performance of this frame rate.

But it is not easy for the current GSX game console to do this.

Zhu Youxing had 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.

However, the frame rate performance effect of the PC platform is still fresh in Zhu Youxing's memory.

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

In games, sometimes the experience gap between 60 frames and 30 frames is still quite large.

However, players in this era do not have such high requirements for frame rate.

There is no big problem with using 30 frames on home machines, and players will accept it.

However, I can't accept it.

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

At that time, the picture that brought the Titanfall was not a problem at all.

Moreover, in his era, the pursuit of the ultimate picture has gradually changed to a higher pursuit of frame rate.

Zhu Youxing 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 the top game frames of our home consoles were like this before."

Arnold asked cautiously.

Zhu Youxing looked at A Nuo and said: "I know this, but I think maybe we can make some new progress in this area."

"Then boss, if we have to make certain concessions on the frame rate, the picture performance will be reduced by a notch."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxing said: "Do you have a picture that has been lowered by a level, and it can be displayed directly on the game console. I want to see the actual effect."

"I didn't prepare for this before, but it is not troublesome to adjust. I will let people prepare now."

Zhu Youxing nodded: "Then go and get ready, there is no rush for this kind of thing."

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

However, if it is necessary to give up too much picture performance because of the number of frames, then Zhu Youxing 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 picture.

Home consoles did not add the function of picture adjustment before, so it will be a little slow to add this function later.

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

In the afternoon, the meeting started again, and Zhu Youxing met with Arnold and some core personnel in the conference room again.

This time Arnold lowered the picture by a notch.

At the same time, the frame rate has also increased to 60 frames.

Originally, under the effect of 30 frames of the game, the overall performance of Titanfall is also very strong, but when the game reaches 60 frames, suddenly everything seems to be completely different.

When Arnold got started with the adjusted 60-frame Titanfall, he was also a little stunned.

This... seems to have become a little more enjoyable?

But it shouldn’t be. Obviously the image quality has been reduced a bit, and it stands to reason that the visual perception will also be reduced, but the feedback after the frame rate is increased is far higher than the sacrificed image quality.

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

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