Chapter 81 How Difficult To Play AAA Games On Mobile Phones And TVs

Early the next morning, Gu Fan came to Wu Hao's office, and the two continued the topic of yesterday.

"Gu Fan, please tell me specifically, if we build a cloud game platform, what problems will we face in terms of hardware, and are there any good solutions?" Wu Hao wanted to know more details, and last night he checked a lot of information overnight , found that what Gu Fan said was indeed reasonable, and he wanted to hear the opinions of professionals.

"The hardware problem is mainly focused on the server. I don't know much about it, but I have a brother who works at Logan Tengfei. If necessary, I can make a remote video call with him. He is on vacation recently."

"Ask right away, it's inconvenient to watch!"

"it is good."

Gu Fan left the office and returned 10 minutes later. The two used the widescreen TV in the office to connect with each other. The two sides made a brief introduction of themselves, and then cut to the chase.

"Mr. Wu, now the cloud game platform has a mature operating model, but the game experience is not good. The main problem is that the hardware investment cannot keep up, the server is too far away from the user, and the delay problem is not easy to solve. Even if 5G is popularized Another negative factor is that the number of servers is not enough, which limits the number of simultaneous online users, and it takes a long time to wait in line to play a game.”

"Brother Luo, if you want to build a new nationwide platform, how much is your budget for purchasing servers?"

"The server plus the supporting hardware equipment, as well as the rental fee of the computer room, the fiber optic broadband access fee, water and electricity fees, labor costs, etc., to build such a platform, at least more than one billion has to be invested to cover the main In such a big city, if we build a platform that can reach the county level, it will cost tens of billions."

"."

"This is too expensive!" Wu Hao exclaimed in his heart.

The funds he could mobilize were less than 2 million, which was far too short. The price quoted by the other party shocked him a lot.

"Mr. Wu, I advise you to stop dreaming. Your company is developing well, but it's still too small. Why bother with such a money-burning project."

"Brother Luo, if I rent a server to render animations, is it feasible?"

Wu Hao is looking for other possible breakthroughs.

"It's absolutely possible. This is already a mature technology. The main cost of animation and film production is modeling and art resources. Server rendering doesn't cost much."

"Senior Brother Luo, as far as you know, do the domestic giants have plans for cloud gaming platforms?"

"There is a layout, but it's still in the stage of small troubles. After all, the 5G network is still in the final stage, and the network speed in many areas is not stable. At this time, no one dares to invest huge sums of money in this area."

The fact that the domestic giants have not yet started to do it indirectly shows that the construction of hardware facilities at this time has not yet reached the minimum standards for project initiation.

"Senior Brother Luo, does Logan Tengfei have corresponding products in this area? I'm talking about front-end servers, which should be in great demand in the future."

"There is a layout, but the product has not been developed yet, and the market demand can't keep up. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the cloud game platform. If the rendering is all done on the host, and the video is distributed to various terminals through the network, Continuous high-bandwidth communication is required, so that the equipment in the computer room will always be in a high-power operation state, the power consumption will be huge, heat dissipation and equipment loss are problems, this mode is not advisable!"

"Then if the terminal is responsible for game rendering, isn't computing power wasted when you don't play games? The terminal will also be very expensive, right."

Wu Hao refuted Brother Luo with future thinking. Obviously, the other party did not calculate the general account, and did not expect that the power consumption of the terminal would drop a lot.

"You are right, but cloud gaming platforms are not cheap at this stage. The price for users to play cloud games will even be more expensive than buying a 3A game. Without cost advantages, it cannot be done."

"Understood, thank Senior Brother Luo!"

"."

After disconnecting, Gu Fan left the office, and Wu Hao fell into deep thought. He had expected the difficulties of the project, but he did not expect that the difficulties in front of him would be so great.

In the memory of the previous life, there were a lot of server resources, and the computer rooms in various places were like telecommunications service halls, scattered in every corner of the city, and the price of renting servers would be very cheap.

On this basis, the terminals in people's hands will be extremely simplified, only for display and interaction, and almost all data processing will be concentrated on the server.

The advantage of this is that the terminal is low in price, low in power consumption, does not need to be updated, and meets the needs of wireless charging. The multi-point server room greatly improves the computing power of the entire society, and the price of digital services can be very low.

By then, all kinds of highly professional servers will bloom everywhere, including servers responsible for rendering, servers responsible for office work, servers responsible for network security, storage servers, communication servers, and so on.

The computer room built by the server group provides strong computing power support. Program developers only need to open their minds and create various application scenarios without worrying about insufficient hardware computing power.

However, at this time point, the 5G network is still undergoing final debugging, and various intelligent scenarios have just entered the society, and have not had a profound impact on people's lives. No company is willing to invest in large-scale deployment of servers.

Wu Hao began to carefully search his memories, looking for the time window for the popularization of cloud games, but he couldn't find that time point after searching, because he was not familiar with the game industry, he only knew that the final result would have a huge impact.

"Will there be a transition period?"

If the server is not strong enough for the time being, you can first rely on the computing power of the mobile terminal to solve part of the rendering work, and then integrate all the data through the mobile terminal, so that 3A masterpieces can also run on the mobile phone, and then cast the screen to the TV. This is also a possibility. The chosen solution.

"If you do this, you won't succeed. It's like investing in hydrogen energy vehicles!"

Japan used to have the most advanced hydrogen energy vehicles in the world, but they were eliminated by electric vehicles. Japanese car companies suffered heavy losses. In the end, they had to return to the technical route of electric vehicles and hand over the market to others.

Engaging in technology must not go against the trend. Since cloud games are the future trend, it is the right choice to work hard in this direction.

"At this point in time, it is really difficult to play AAA games on TV and mobile phones."

In addition to the server problem, there is also the problem of game development. In only half a year, it is absolutely impossible to develop a high-quality game. I have never been engaged in this industry before, and I know nothing about game development. chance of success.

Wu Hao's thinking gradually became clear. The foundation of cloud platform development can only be realized after a large number of servers are put into use. This requires the joint efforts of officials and individuals. Think calmly and look for a reasonable breakthrough direction.

The direction of the cloud game platform is temporarily put aside.

The task of the system requires a breakthrough, Wu Hao thought about it, but did not think of a good direction.

"If it doesn't work, we can only invite 'gentlemen'. Now there are 500 social contribution points, which is still quite ample."

Wu Hao immediately submitted an application for using social contribution points to [Blue Star Technology Promotion System].

【Please enter the points used: __】

"50", Wu Hao thinks it's just a directional reminder, and doesn't need to pay too many social contribution points, after all, the system mission has just begun.

[The system has received social contribution points, and is currently arranging for you a "gentleman", please wait later]
