Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 528 The world's first 32-bit game console; Tian Moyun's objective evaluation

"In the designer group, someone told me something."

Su Qiong raised the [Qingyun Mobile Phone] in his hand, and said: "The international game giant [Superhard Moluo Game Company] has released a preview of a new game console."

"One thing's for sure: this is a 3-bit console with 32D capabilities."

“采用3D图形芯片+2D图形芯片+32位CPU+16位CPU+8位CPU的硬件配置，使用光盘作为游戏载体。”

"It is expected to be officially released in October, and the price is 10 US dollars. According to the current currency exchange rate, it is about 499 Daxia coins."

……

【Super Hard Moro Game Company】

Tian Moyun wanted to complain about this slightly weird name for a long time.

At first he thought it was the fault of the translator, but later he found out that his name abroad is also very strange.

The four words "Super Hard Moluo" do not have any symbolic meaning, it is purely some naming problems that occurred during the merger of several companies.

According to historical records——

The predecessor of this game company was named [Da Luo Game], and later merged with a manufacturer named [Devil Game], and changed its name to Mo Luo.

Later, they accepted the investment and reorganization of [Super Electric] and [Super Hard Technology], so they changed their name to: Super Hard Moluo!

It is said that when the new name first came out, even the then president found it difficult to accept.

But under the oppression of capital, in the end, he pinched his nose helplessly and endured it.

And after [Super Hard Mora] became the overlord of the international game market, this weird name was considered a synonym for "cool".

This phenomenon is very similar to Sha Matt's colorful hairstyle that was very popular in the past.

In the eyes of those hot-blooded teenagers who fantasize about dominating the universe all day long, this hairstyle is very cool, and only when they grow up and calm down, will they realize how beautiful the aesthetics were at that time. It is silent.

……

Tian Moyun didn't care about the company's naming issue, at most he complained in his heart.

What caught him the most was undoubtedly the news of the new game console.

The world's first 32-bit game console was born, and it will officially meet with consumers after February.

The news caught him off guard.

Here, it is necessary to mention the company's intelligence capabilities.

[Thunder Group] Although there is an exclusive intelligence department, this thing is quite powerful in China, but when it goes abroad...

It is precisely because of this——

Regarding the news about this 32-bit game console, the group has no idea at all.

Of course, it is also possible that they already know it, but they are still trying to find out more information, so I haven't had time to tell him yet...

But in any case, it is an undeniable fact that the group's international intelligence capabilities are poor.

……

"Any more specific news?"

Tian Moyun asked.

"Too much information, I'll let them send it directly to my mailbox."

Su Qiong looked at the message on the phone and said.

soon--

Detailed information about the "Superhard Morro 32-bit game console" was sent to the mailbox.

Open it with a computer and see it more clearly on the big screen.

Tian Moyun looked at it very carefully. After watching it for about 10 minutes, he looked back and said lightly: "After reading it, the hardware configuration is very general, and it is quite satisfactory. Except for a 3D function, there are basically no other highlights."

"Very average?"

Su Qiong was a little surprised.

She couldn't understand these things, so she couldn't understand the specific concept of Tian Moyun's "general configuration".

But she knows one thing—

The hardware research and development strength of [Super Hard Moluo] is at least on the same level as that of [Starry Sky Technology], which is also world-class.

And the configuration level of this game console should not be inferior to computer hosts of the same price. In this way, it seems that it cannot be called "average configuration".

……

"Don't understand?"

Tian Moyun smiled and explained: "Usually, game consoles with the same configuration should be cheaper than computer consoles."

"Because the game console cuts off a lot of unnecessary hardware costs, controls the final selling price in a very competitive range, and then makes money by selling games."

"But the hardware configuration of this [Superhard Morro 32-bit game console] is very strange."

"Look at its configuration information: 3D graphics processing + 2D graphics processing, which is understandable. Although it is the main 3D function, 2D graphics is also essential. If this link is missing, many people may not be willing to take the risk of developing 3D. Game manufacturers are about to switch to hostile game console platforms."

"But the CPU part is very unreasonable."

"32-bit CPU+16-bit CPU+8-bit CPU...Have you ever seen such a wonderful combination?"

"Oh, you're a hardware idiot, you don't understand this at all... Don't scratch, listen to me first."

"This weird CPU configuration can explain two problems."

"First: [Super Hard Moro]'s game lineup is not perfect. In order to remain competitive, they must be backward compatible, and compatible with 16-bit games and 8-bit games at the same time. A hardware adapter will be released for compatibility with 16-bit/8-bit game cartridges."

"Second: The 32-bit CPU of this game console is very likely to use a new architecture, which makes it incompatible with the previous two generations of games... But it may also be that the performance is too weak, making it incompatible through the emulator."

"What's the problem here?"

"The unfamiliarity of the development environment brought about by the new architecture, and... the hardware cost of the game console."

……

Tian Moyun explained in great detail.

"So... this game has a chance to fail?"

Su Qiong asked thoughtfully.

"No, it won't fail."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "Although there are many problems, as the world's first 32-bit game console, as long as there are no problems with the game lineup, sales should still be guaranteed. For players in developed countries, the price of $499 is not expensive. , As for the ultimate success or failure...it depends on the level of its competitors."

How to say something?
This is a world that is worse than rotten. Industry leaders with a slightly better reputation are basically set off by their peers, not how good they are.

……

"But from the way you look, I don't seem to care."

Su Qiong looked at his indifferent expression and asked.

"That's because the console doesn't pose a threat to us."

Tian Moyun spread his hands: "Such a wonderful hardware configuration is sold for 499 US dollars, which is probably close to the cost price. It is impossible to lower the price, but this price obviously cannot pose a threat to [Thunder-New World]."

"Our market is mainly in China and the Eastern Hemisphere. The price of this game console cannot be sold here..."

"There is another problem, that is, language localization. The language and even dubbing of a large number of games are drastically modified. This is a big project with high capital and time costs."

"Facing the Eastern Hemisphere where no game consoles can be sold at all, it is impossible for [Super Hard Moro] to bother to make these investments, so I guess, most of this game consoles will not even consider releasing a mainland version. This is what I feel No reason."

……

For this somewhat weird game console, what Tian Moyun thinks of the most is a certain game company in the previous life that "hardware technology is paramount".

The fate of that company was very bad in the end. It was besieged and killed by the Big Three, and finally withdrew from the hardware market completely.

The game console of [Superhard Moluo] has the shadow of the company in the previous life, and it also puts "hardware technology first" and emphasizes technology over content.

To become the world's top game manufacturer, it can only be said that the opponent is too rubbish, no wonder others.

Tian Moyun's evaluation of this game console is more objective.

But he always believes that this thing is unlikely to hit the [Thunder Game] market, so he is not worried.

but--

The "General Group of Game Designers" talked about this matter, obviously they have ideas about "32-bit game consoles".

Of course, the idea here refers to: they hope that [Thunder Games] can come up with a plan for a 32-bit game console.

Tian Moyun also wanted to satisfy them, send a message to make everyone feel at ease.

But the problem is...

He is not going to develop a 32-bit game console, which is embarrassing.
