The Witcher -kehittäjä CD Projekt RED työstää tällä hetkellä peliä Cyberpunk 2077. Videota itse pelattavuudesta on nähty, ja sen perusteella PC-kansa tarvitsee alleen melkoisen megamyllyn pyörittääkseen koko komeutta sujuvasti. Näin ei kuitenkaan ilmeisesti ole, sillä peli tullaan optimoimaan PC:n ohella myös konsoleille.
Antamassaan haastattelussa CGMagazinelle johtava elokuvapätkien animaattori Maciej Pietras paljasti, että CD Projekt REDillä on ihan oma ohjelmoijien tiiminsä optimointia varten. He aloittivat työnsä heti projektin alettua.
"You know we are always finding new ways to use the new technical features that speed up the work and there are very low costs when it comes to the optimization part, and as I said, that we have a team of programmers who are dedicated to work on optimization. Simply because of that, I don't think we ever reached that point and say something is too costly based on hardware requirements. That did not happen yet. What we showed in the demo was running in real runtime so there's nothing there that we were trying to hide."
"From the top we knew we were developing the game for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. And we started the process of optimization right at the start. So that's probably what you see running the demo is a PC with like an i7 and 1080TI, so it's not astronomical specs. Basically, because we are thinking from scratch about optimization, how streaming works, how to introduce global illumination for instance without overwhelming the PC or the GPU. Now we take those things into account right at the start and optimize for that."
Cyberpunk 2077 on kehityksessä PC:lle, PS4:lle ja Xbox Onelle.
