Yu Suzuki talks PS3, REV, XB360 and LINDBERGH (needs translating)

Translated Using World Lingo.

From Chinese (traditional) to English

--  

Once created "Outer space Harley", "Breaks through Belt of fire", "VR Quickly Hits" and "Sha Wood" and so on game celebrated work SEGA manufactures person Suzuki abundantly, to on invitation came the senate to visit on the other day, period pumped out visited the Pakistan Hamm special headquarters, connected in parallel fashion the Pakistan Hamm especially GNN one's own interview.

  In the interview Suzuki abundant spoke freely about will develop the achievement, to PS3, Xbox including the short-term game 360 with REV and so on the next generation new main engine view, as well as the audiences anticipated "Sha Wood" the single plane version and the network version related information and so on, the content will be quite rich, is worth playing the family to refer.

  Because discussion official business to came Suzuki on the other day abundantly, accompanied by SEGA network strategy enterprise department cane Tian Ch'unshih and the temple □リ カ two colleagues, afternoon visited the Pakistan Kazak headquarters on September 30, besides visited the Pakistan Hamm special computer game news station, connected in parallel fashion the GNN interview.

  甫 moved on the other day to the new address Pakistan's Hamm special headquarters members, regarding could invite this world well-known game to manufacture the person to arrive personally, all felt unusual excited, many people and have specially discovered the game collection which each kind of Suzuki abundant manufactured, including the ancient early 32X version "the VR Vehicle race", "Outer space Harley", "Broke through Belt of fire", "VR Quickly Will hit", "Sha Wood" to the near future and so on the series work, asked the Suzuki abundant signature to accept as a memento.

  Greets after the Pakistan Kazak numerous member as well as has exchanged conventional greetings, first concurrently carries out inspector general's sega by Pakistan Hamm special computer game news station 創辦人, to Suzuki abundant introduced the Pakistan Hamm's special related background material with each service which provides. When exchange name card, Suzuki abundant regarding took extremely to be interested with master same English name sega, sega also specially explained initially therefore could take this English name, was because own extremely liked the game work which SEGA promoted, the body was the SEGA advertisement game manufactures person's Suzuki abundant correlation work naturally also including.

  After introduced the Pakistan Hamm's special related information, then edits Sam and Suzuki in addition by GNN abundant carries on lasts 90 minutes interviews.

◆ large-scale computer game new foundation plate "LINDBERGH"

  The interview first aims at the large-scale computer game new foundation plate which SEGA published on the other day "LINDBERGH", this section take PC as the foundation overhead construction, used Intel the Pentium 4 microprocessors and the NVIDIA high step indicator large-scale computer game foundation plates, after was 睽 disobeys the new foundation plate which many years SEGA independently promoted once more, simultaneously also was SEGA first uses the ready-made PC zero module and design in the large-scale computer game 嚐 tries.

  In was asked when regarding this section foundation plate feelings, the Suzuki abundant expression, he thought "LINDBERGH" is in the present world the most formidable large-scale computer game foundation plate, although just developed the brand-new foundation plate how many could cause some difficulties regarding in the game manufacture, but formerly he manufactured several section games also frequently needed to challenge the brand-new design foundation plate, therefore developed the brand-new game on the new foundation plate was he adept, at present announced 5 section "LINDBERGH" the first wave prearranged promotes in the game, had by his respective development group manufactures.

  Why regarding can use PC the design, but was not adopts SEGA formerly alone to develop the exclusive foundation plate, or was the use home use main engine accommodating foundation plate policy? The Suzuki abundant expression, about the foundation plate hardware design, is responsible by the company interior exclusive hardware technology department, is not the domain which he governs under, therefore he is unable to assert. But acts according to he view to say, former PC because in technical question, therefore is not good in the game application aspect potency performance, ill gathers uses in above the large-scale computer game system, but present PC has joined each kind of video and music processing new technology, all has the large scale growth in various aspects potency, applies had the quite good performance to the computer game foundation plate potency.

  Because "LINDBERGH" the official publication time, becomes with at present plays the family to gaze focal point PS3, Xbox 360 and so on the main engine official publication time quite approaches, therefore many plays the family extremely curious outcome "LINDBERGH" 孰 strong 孰 to be also weak with these new generation of main engine potency, about this spot, Suzuki abundant expression, because he not yet actually has contacted PS3 and Xbox 360, therefore his not clear each other potency strong and the weak why, the list doesn't have the actual operation from the specification data in the situation, is unable to conclude a hardware system the potency.

  He indicated, each game needs the processing potency one, some hardware system is not may average provide various aspects stable processing potency, after some is has used some aspect processing potency, other aspects processing potency can therefore but is low. SEGA in the hardware foundation plate design policy, is by even if some aspect has eats heavy processing, other aspects cannot therefore but the potency terrible fall balanced design primarily, he thought "LINDBERGH" also is belongs to under such design policy the product, can provide various aspects balanced stable processing potency.

  Moreover he also mentioned that, besides the hardware design and the specification, the software development kit support also was affects the potency the key, Suzuki abundant has developed simultaneously the PS2 early time game and the existing game picture and the effect obvious dropping variance is the example, explained the development kit the support and the development personnel to the soft hardware environment familiar degree, will be able to have the very tremendous influence to the game actual performance.

◆ "PSY-PHI"

  "LINDBERGH" the first wave prearranges in 5 section works which promotes, generalissimo type publication and the display "PSY-PHI" is personally participates in the development in AM the Xiu by him the original innovation to do, Suzuki abundant Yu Pentz'u in the interview also shared this section game manufacture feelings.

  "PSY-PHI" abundant holds a concurrent post the game by Suzuki to manufacture with edits, personally leads the manufacture team to hold the post of the development the work, is his brand-new 嚐 tries. The game has completely discarded the traditional rocking bar and the button which formerly was familiar with, but changed to directly moves the firefly curtain the way to operate, the similar movie "the key report (Minority Report)" center, lead Tom Kruse moved the way operation hypothesized kneading board the concept, played the family to be similar to the philharmonic orchestra the direction, gesticulated by both hands on the firefly curtain, directed the entire game carrying on.

  The Suzuki abundant expression, the game operation not only moves the firefly curtain the specific position, but also can defer to the picture to instruct, input like alpha, beta and so on special mark, so as to displays the force the special attack. The game type unified essential factor and so on fire, movement and to war wrestle, will play the family to operate the different ultra ability, by high speed vertically and horizontally will soar to the horizon, will display each kind of ultra reality the ultra ability 絕 move, the affiliation the formidable 3D cartography ability which will provide by "LINDBERGH", will present is similar to the smoke and fire to dazzle the Li bright special effect performance, will be the funds picture extremely beautiful game.

  Mentioned touches controls, many plays the family possibly to be able to associate similarly take touches controls as the key demand no matter what the heaven NDS main engine, in were asked whether has the plan manufactures the similar concept when NDS the game, the Suzuki abundant expression, actually SEGA very already touches controls the application at the large-scale computer game game, the picture will be the horse racing, the mahjong class radio station, he at present certainly not specially aims at the NDS main engine to touch controls the essential factor to develop the game the plan.

◆ new generation of main engine
In in this year E3 and TGS, SCE, Microsoft and no matter what
the heaven has all published the new generation of main engine
information, in was asked regarding PS, Xbox 360 when has any view
with the REV these new main engines, the Suzuki abundant expression,
the new hardware publication always can create the topic, and lets the
market be livelier, to the game field said is a good deed. But these
new hardware are not three two days can produce, but is responded the
game development demand, let the development formerly want to do, but
is restricted in the part which the hardware was unable to achieve,
could realize on the new hardware, provides plays the broader
performance space, looked by this viewpoint, he thought the new
hardware promoting to the game manufacture said also was a good deed.
He certainly supplemented the explanation expression, said regarding
the game development, so long as can have super fast CPU, the
unlimited cartography ability and the inexhaustible memory body
capacity, can satisfy the effect which all demands, realizes any
wants, but the real world certainly does not have the such ideal
thing, therefore only then can unceasing have each kind of different
design the new hardware to propose, arrives at court develops
technical personnel's ideal goal to this game to approach.
◆ PS3
Because formerly Suzuki abundant manufactured in the game, some
many was emphasized "body feeling" the type, quite paid great
attention to real holds controls the feeling and the lifelike
simulation, felt on the physical analogue operation ability idea which
microprocessor emphasized with PS3 the Cell quite agrees with. In was
asked when he which brings regarding PS3 the physical analogue
operation potential has what view, Suzuki abundant expression, he at
present actually also not clear PS3 detail requirements, but on the
material which announces looked, PS3 should be like the SCE emphasis,
has the suitable physical analogue operation ability.
He indicated that, he in this year E3 and TGS the experience, actually
the majority of merchants game and dynamic picked up (Motion Capture)
in the picture performance the part all already quite skillful, the
difference was not big, therefore he thought perhaps the future the
game will be able to unfold by the physical analogue performance with
other games differences, but the real world physics complex compared
the theoretical physics which the school studied to be very many,
therefore had completely to support by the hardware should be not too
possible, but PS3 still was in the next generation main engine
comparatively has the physical analogue operation ability platform.
But abundant adept competes the fast vehicle race game part in Suzuki,
he also mentioned, most complex, most is difficult the analog
computation which does decides is friction between the tire and the
ground responded, if PS3 can provide the good physical analogue
operation support, that should be able to be difficult processing
these which does decides to perform of to simplify, but because at
present he certainly not actually carries on the game above PS3 to
develop, therefore has not grasped can achieve what kind of degree.
◆ Xbox 360
Because Microsoft extremely emphasized Xbox 360 have Xbox Live
consummation network service function, when asked whether has the plan
on 360 to develop when Xbox provides the different game pleasure using
the Xbox Live network segment the work, the Suzuki abundant emphasis,
he at present in PS3 or Xbox 360 and so on in the new generation of
platform does not have any concrete game donor project, certainly on
function and so on physical analogue and network segment said, may
anticipate could be the future count for much also the universal
application function, therefore although at present has not planned,
but or will be interested very much to these two platforms.
◆ REV
Unfolds no matter what the heaven REV main engine brand-new
design controller regarding mid-September Tokyo computer game which
announces to be partial, Suzuki abundant expressed he has not looked
at the REV controller, therefore certainly not the clear truly
condition, this Tokyo computer game unfolds him the visit key pendulum
on the game software, therefore is not clear regarding the main engine
hardware partial comparisons, therefore does not have the means to
have the commentary (to arrange presses: The REV main engine
controller is no matter what heaven organization head crag Tian Ts'ung
unfolds the forum in the Tokyo computer game (TGS Forum) in the
subject lecture announces, certainly has not displayed in the
conference site).
◆ the game development cost surges upward tendency
Many games merchants all expressed the question which the next
generation main engine game development cost grew to ever greater
heights, the body have manufactured the person for the senior game he,
what view regarding this did the phenomenon have? Is how overcomes?
The Suzuki abundant expression, the next generation main engine game
development cost indeed has the tendency which elevates, therefore
each game development company all must have to enhance the work the
efficiency, seeks the good development kit, comes in accordance to
this question, either is makes the way manufacture by the series,
continues to use the same information bank, either is by simulates the
operation the way to come automatically to produce originally goes
must survey each kind of data which the way obtains, like in the
vehicle race game the vehicles movement or is wrestles in the game the
role movement and so on, calculates the substitution as far as
possible actual.
The Suzuki abundant emphasis, continues to use the existing procedure
and is unable in accordance to the next generation game development
demand, is just like on the under good electrically operated hand
staircase with a handrail the reversion upward crawls general, if does
not go forward can unceasingly drop, therefore only has can the
merchant which upward climbs up by the same speed be able to maintain
same at on highly, can the merchant which upwardly climbs up by
quicker footsteps be able toward the higher position advance, the
maintenance existing procedure to be equal to was regresses. Suzuki's
abundant this "in reversion ladder" the concise analogy, exactly with
the Chinese ancient proverb "study like 逆水行舟, does not enter
draws back" tallies.
◆ "Sha Wood"
In the Suzuki abundant near future game work, the manufacture
scale will be biggest, most receives plays, not too "Sha Wood" which
the family will focus attention on this section take Chinese martial
arts as main axle huge risk story. About "Sha Wood" the related
interview content will publish in the next report, asks respectfully
the anticipation.

I'm not too sure about this, but I don't think one speaks Chinese... actually, it's .tw so that should be Taiwanese.

The Taiwanese speak Mandarin - just a heads up. ;) The actual Taiwanese language is dying a slow death, and actual ethnic Taiwanese like my girlfriend are some of the few left that speak it. I don't even think it has it's own written analogue seperate from Chinese characters anyway.
 
Interesting read on what he thinks about the 3 consoles and also how LINDBERGH weighs in on the 3 competitors. He doesn't exactly have a grasp on what the PS3/360/Rev can do, so he cannot comment on how LINDBERGH is compared to them. It would be cool if this was tranlated by a human :)

Aye, you're right indeed xbd. I was a bit careless in expressing my point. As to the language... I think so... as far as I'm aware the writing is indeed the same as chinese, but much like the various dialects there's some slight differences in the use (not structure, but meanings and colloquialisms an so forth). That said the main difference seems to be speach, but as you said that seems to be dieing out. Kind of surprising though... Taiwan and China in general do NOT get along, so I would imagine they'd want to do more to distinguish themselves lingusitically, but I guess it isn't economically feasible.
 
this is just my guess..

space harley = space harrier
breaks through belt of fire = sonic.. ya know.. belt of fire = the rings?
VR Quickly hits = virtual fighter
Sha wood = shenmue
psy-phi = psy-phi...

-psy-phi is an arcade game developed on their new arcade board... you can read about it here..
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3144653&did=1
http://sega.jp/arcade/lindbergh/title_psy.html

- he doesn't have many details on ps3 and is interested in its physics capabilities., but he is unsure because he hasn't had a chance to develop a game yet.

- he is interested in working with the ps3 and xbox360 but currently has no games planned..

- he cannot comment on the revolution because he knows nothing of the hardware and hasn't seen the controller yet.

-there are plans for shenmue in the near future and there'll be more details in this websites follow-up article.. so, i guess it's at least a two-part interview. the next article will have information about a single player game in the series as well as an online game?
-------------------------------------
the MMORPG i'm guessing.. i haven't heard about that for a while, i thought it was canned...

thats all i could comprehend from that translation, hopefully some other site gets a real translation soon.. hope that helped at least a little.
 
lunlunqq @ Gaming Age has translated some:

well, i translated the key points. btw, it is not "taiwanese" per se. it's just chinese.

About “LINDBERGHâ€
Sega’s new board is based on PC architecture. It uses Intel P4 cpu and high-end nividia gfx processor. It was designed to be a balanced system and easy to develop games for.

About PSY-PHI
This new game abandoned traditional control method. Player will rely entirely on a touch screen to control the characters. It is not just touching specific parts of the screen. Players can draw symbols such as α and β to initiate powerful special attacks.
Since this control scheme is similar to what NDS offers, he was asked if he has plans on developing some NDS games. He said Sega has a long history of using touch screens in arcade games and he currently has no plans for any NDS games.

About next-gen consoles
He said the sensations created by the announcements of new consoles are good for the industry. He said developers have always been limited by the performance of consoles and next-gen consoles will help alleviate this problem to some extends.

About PS3
Because Suzuki always emphasizes realistic control and simulation in his games, PS3’s strong physics simulation power matches his game development philosophy very well. Based on what he saw in TGS, he thinks motion capture technique won’t make a difference in next-gen games since it is already mature. Developers have to rely on physics simulation to make spectacular games in next gen. Fully simulated real-world physics is still too much for next-gen hardware to handle, but PS3 would be better at physics than other consoles. He had no real experience with the PS3 hardware, so he cannot tell how much he could push the physics in his next-gen games.

About XB360
XB Live is MS’s big selling point. They asked him if he has plans on utilizing the XB Live features in his next-gen games. He said he currently had no plans on developing XB360 or PS3 games. He reemphasized that PS3’s physics simulation and XB360’s Live service are both important and interesting features. He is interested in developing games for these two platforms.

About Rev
Suzuki said he could not say much about it because he had not look at the Rev controller closely. In last TGS, he paid more attention on the software and much less on the hardware.

Edit: oh, this is only part I, more info on Shenmue will be released in part II.
 
A good, (but time consuming) tool for translating Chinese is www.rikai.com . Unlike bablefish, which just translate's the most likely meaning and gives you it in English, rikai keeps the characters intact, and moving your mouse over the characters gives you it's pronunciation as well as several possible different meanings. Worth checking out for things like these, although I'm at work so I don't have time to try and make any pitifully poor translations of the material here.
 
Im surprised everyone missed this qoute:

in the PS3 section or original translation
[qoute]but the real world physics complex compared
the theoretical physics which the school studied to be very many,
therefore had completely to support by the hardware should be not too
possible[/qoute]

But the real world physics compared to the theoritical physics from what has been studied by is alot.


eh??

Well, you're thinking of Taiwan in the political sense - as in breakaway Taiwan post revolution. In fact, ethnic Taiwanese are a completely different culture that was more or less stamped out when the nationalist Chinese took the island. Think of it like the ethnic Okinawans on Okinawa - they're not Japanese, but they are now. Same with real Taiwanese. They look a little different from regular Chinese, and Taiwanese the language in fact is not a dialect of Chinese per se, but rather it's own sub-set of the language family.

I truthfully wouldn't know any of this except that for some reason, my life has become full of Taiwan experts (not the least of which my girlfriend).

On the side, since the present government in Taiwan is not unification minded, they have since been trying to rekindle the 'Taiwanese' identity in a bid to develop a sense of culture on Taiwan seperate from that of mainland China, in contradiction to several decades of policy. (at one point speaking Taiwanese was made illegal, for example)

Well anyway, I know I'm way off on a tangent now... :)

Did you not read the human translation from GAF?

Sheesh, google can really reveal a lot sometimes with relation to geography and names. Onetimeposter was TeamXbox's Hasan Ahmed(which is a Pakistanian name, No?)

I don't know if you're the same dude but my 2 cents :rolleyes:

What's that got to do with anything? For one thing using a person's name to determine where they live...are you serious?! Anyone living in the US proably more than anyone else should appreciate how immigrants take they names with them. There's millions of Polish, English, Italian, Irish etc. named in the US. If onetimeposter were called (when he gives a name for the internet, which may not be his/her real name) Paddy Murphy would you assume he was living in a quaint house in Cork, or as New York cop? Is Apu Nahasapeemapetilon living in a mud hut on the outskirts of Dheli or running a Kwikemart in Springtown?

And what on earth has geographical position got to do with anything (apart from game prices and availability of HD broadcasts :p)? Are we supposed to know a person by where they live (where they SAY they live on an internet forum)? Take stereotypes as a de facto standard measure of a person? Is that what you're trying to say?

Of all the inane, pointless and intellectually sterile comments, this takes the biscuit. Rule number one : Stick to discussing relevant topics (or poignant offshoots thereof). :devilish:

For a second there I though my brain was broken trying to read that, at least I know I'm not alone. I suppose it' better than nothing.
