Shuangqing City, Green Lake Hotel, Press Conference Hall.
Tom Clusi held the microphone and spoke in English, "Thank you, everyone, for attending the joint press conference between AMD and Dream Entertainment."
Shi Lei held the microphone and translated Tom Clusi's English words almost simultaneously.
"Regarding the cooperation between AMD and Dream Entertainment, I'd like to share some news with everyone!" Tom Clusi imitated Shi Lei's method and continued, "First, AMD will receive 655,555 invitation codes for World of the Brave. They will be sold with AMD's CPUs. Anyone who purchases AMD's CPUs will have a chance to receive an invitation code for World of the Brave. As for the specific chances of receiving it, please pay attention to AMD's news and official website. "
"Secondly, AMD will give Asustek, Microstar, and Sapphire 65,555 invitation codes for the closed beta testing of 'World of the Brave', which will be sold in conjunction with ATI's graphics cards. That means any user who purchases ATI's graphics cards from these three companies will have a chance to receive an invitation code for World of the Brave. "
"Third, AMD will work with Dream Entertainment Co., Ltd. to research and improve AMD's CPUs and ATI display chips to optimize support for the game 'World of Brave'. That means using AMD's CPUs and ATI's graphics cards will have better support for World of the Brave! "
The last item mentioned by Tom Clusi was the result of an urgent discussion between Shi Lei and Tom Clusi. Through targeted optimization, the performance of the hardware could be improved by at least 75%!
Especially the graphics card optimization. The public version of the drivers had to be compatible with most games, so the graphics card's performance could not be fully utilized. If the graphics card manufacturers and game developers worked together to develop optimized drivers for specific games, the graphics card's performance could be improved by about 85%!
85% was a very scary number. Using a simple example, the GTX115 of the nVIDIA was about 6155 yuan, while the GTX115 Ti was about 7755 yuan. The difference between the two was more than 155 yuan, but the performance improvement was only about 85%.
That meant that only a targeted driver was needed to bring the graphics card's hardware performance closer. In the era of 7552, the graphics card's performance was quite low. A 85% improvement was very impressive.
Some of the media reporters who were knowledgeable exclaimed loudly. AMD and Dream Entertainment were challenging Intel and nVIDIA's position as the overlord of the industry!
If the future of World of the Brave was based on Dream Entertainment's information, it would definitely sweep the entire gaming industry. In the short term, no game company could compete with Dream Entertainment.
That meant that the majority of gamers would definitely choose AMD's CPUs and ATI's graphics cards for World of the Brave. Intel and nVIDIA were doomed! However, would the two superpowers of the world just sit there and wait for their deaths?
After Tom Clusi revealed the three pieces of news, he handed the microphone to Sapphire's Luo Tao. In fact, out of the three graphics card companies, only Sapphire was a hardcore supporter of AMD.
Sapphire Company was a firm supporter of ATI. Before ATI was acquired, ATI's official graphics card was manufactured by Sapphire.
After ATI was acquired by AMD, Sapphire continued to support ATI unwaveringly. It was AMD's highest certified partner. Sapphire had participated in every generation of ATI's public graphics cards. They were extremely powerful.
On the other hand, MSI and ASUS produced both ATI and nVIDIA graphics cards. Although they were AMD's' OEM's' OEM's' OEM's' OEM's', their relationship with AMD was not close.
This was also the reason why Tom Clusi and Luo Tao stood together. After all, AMD was more supportive of Sapphire.
Luo Tao looked to be around 95 years old. His appearance was ordinary, but he had a calm temperament. He was like a reef in a raging wave. No matter how strong the wind or the rain, he would not change.
"Hello everyone, I'm Luo Tao from Sapphire. Sapphire will cooperate with AMD and Dream Entertainment to establish a good partnership! "Luo Tao's speech was simple. After that, he passed the microphone back to Tom Clusi.
Xu Wenyang from ASUS and Lin Xiantong from MSI also said a few words after the Green Lake Hotel staff passed the microphone to them.
Shi Lei stood in the middle. After everyone finished speaking, he coughed lightly. "The first theme of this press conference is basically over. My friends, you have half an hour to ask your questions. My friends, please abide by the rules and raise your hand. "
The middle-aged female reporter from Li Jian Daily raised her hand. She was also standing in the front row, and she was very obedient before. Shi Lei nodded to her and said in English, "Beautiful reporter from Li Jian Daily, what can I do for you?"
To be honest, the female reporter from Li Jian Daily was not a beauty. She was probably above 85 years old. She only had a mature charm.
"Hello, Mr. Shi. I'm Isabella from Li Jian Daily. Thank you for choosing Li Jian Daily." With an excited smile, Isabella continued to ask, "Mr. Shi, will Dream Entertainment's' World of the Brave 'be released in Lijian at the same time?"
Shi Lei looked at Isabella and shook his head slowly. "I'm afraid not! 'Brave World' will be a Xia Xia Wuxia MMORPG in the early stages. It probably won't be released simultaneously in Lijian Province. "
Isabella's eyes lit up. She accurately grasped the key point in Shi Lei's words. "Mr. Shi, you said 'early stages'. What do you mean?"
Shi Lei smiled faintly. "This question involves Dream Entertainment's trade secrets. We will keep it a secret for now. In the near future, this question will be answered in 'Brave World'. "
While Shi Lei and Isabella were talking, they did not notice that a wretched reporter with a mustache was furiously taking photos of them with his camera.
This reporter's work badge showed that he was a reporter from NHK TV.
Although Shi Lei hated NHK TV, NHK TV was Voisin's court channel. Shi Lei was embarrassed to not allow them to enter the press conference.
"Suga, this is a great news material!" The mustached reporter chuckled with satisfaction. "Haha, this is great news material!"
Isabella from Lijian Daily asked again, "Mr. Shi, can Dream Entertainment really achieve the so-called Somatosensory Manipulation?"
Shi Lei looked at Isabella and said, "Ms. Isabella, according to the rules, a reporter can only ask one question. However, I can make an exception and answer that our Dream Entertainment can definitely achieve the Somatosensory Manipulation Method! Well, if you have any questions, please raise your hand. "
The reporters in the front row raised their right hand. Some of the reporters in the back row smiled helplessly. They were too far back and did not have any advantage.
"My friend from Xia Xia Computer News, do you have any questions?" Shi Lei chose a reporter from Xia Xia. If he chose a foreign reporter, then Xia Xia's media would probably criticize Shi Lei for being too greedy.
"Hello, Mr. Shi. I'm Sun Zixiang from Xia Xia Computer News. I want to ask, the World of Brave has such high requirements for computer hardware. Are you planning to give up on low-end users? "Sun Zixiang asked a very sharp question.
In the gaming community, low-end gamers made up the majority. If Shi Lei said that he would give up on low-end gamers, it would definitely cause protests from low-end gamers. They might even boycott the World of Brave.
Shi Lei glanced at Sun Zixiang and answered carefully, "Dream Entertainment will not give up on any gamers! As for Brave World's high hardware requirements, this is due to the fact that we are developing high-quality games. In the first chapter of the World of Brave, we can only improve the configuration of computer hardware to adapt to the requirements of the World of Brave. In the future chapters, we will develop low-end versions of the World of Brave, and we will even develop versions that use keyboard and mouse. However, if you want to experience the World of Brave, you will still need to use high-performance computer configurations. Because of the high quality of the game, we can't use low-end configurations. I hope the majority of gamers can understand! "
Shi Lei was very firm about whether or not to lower the requirements of the World of Brave. He would definitely not lower the quality of the game. A good game must adhere to its own path. If it was the same as Island Crisis 8, it would only support graphics cards above DX66.
A large number of Crisis fans were trying their best to upgrade their graphics card hardware for Crisis 8, weren't they?
Shi Lei firmly believed that "Brave World" also had this kind of charm!
Sun Zixiang nodded in response to Shi Lei's detailed answer. In the past, Sun Zixiang wanted to criticize "The Brave Ones", but after seeing the first poster, Sun Zixiang became a firm supporter of "The Brave Ones". His previous question was only out of his professional instinct.
"Mr. Shi, I'm also a fan of the World of Brave. I wonder if I'm lucky enough to participate in the closed beta!" Sun Zixiang exclaimed.
Shi Lei did not promise to give Sun Zixiang the invitation code. He only smiled and said, "Reporter Sun, you can buy AMD's CPU and Sapphire's graphics cards!"
After the Q&A session, Shi Lei chose a reporter from Los Leones. Los Leones was the most developed country in Southeast Asia, and more than 45% of the population was from the Xia Xia. Even the official language was the Xia Xia language.
The reporter from Los Leones asked with anticipation, "Mr. Shi, Dream Entertainment has a deep partnership with Jinshan Corporation. The distribution rights for the World of Brave in eleven countries in Southeast Asia were also given to Jinshan Corporation. May I ask, will the closed beta of the World of Brave be released in eleven countries in Southeast Asia at the same time? "
