Nintendo Gets Compression Program from S3 Graphics
http://goo.gl/cGpd
S3 Graphics announced today that it has signed a new agreement with Nintendo.
This new deal will allow Nintendo access to the S3 Texture Compression
technology that can achieve six-fold compression thereby reducing memory
bandwidth and expanding the amount of texture imagery for the onboard
graphics memory.
"This agreement furthers our dedication to providing our game developers with
leading compression technology to enable them to deliver the best possible
gaming experience," said Mr. Genyo Takeda, General Manager of Nintendo's
Integrated Research and Development Division. "We look forward to continuing
our licensing arrangement with S3 Graphics."
"We are extremely pleased that Nintendo has chosen to use the S3TC
compression technology in its world renowned gaming platforms," said Dr. Ken
Weng, General Manager of S3 Graphics. "The license agreement reaffirms S3
Graphics' S3TC texture compression technology as the industry standard for
both PC and game console graphics."

這也算另類的臺灣之光吧,
曾經風光 PC 市佔一時的顯卡大廠 S3 Graphics 早已納入 VIA 旗下已久,
不過 S3TC 這項圖形材質壓縮技術也早行之有年,不知道老任這次要運用在哪臺主機上?
透過 S3TC 壓縮技術可達成壓縮比 4:1 ～ 6:1 的程度,不過由於是失真性壓縮,
所以材質當然多少會比未壓縮前有些許失真,但成像品質多少還是在可接受範圍裡就是 :)

2F：→ sisik:GC跟Wii都用S3TC，傳聞中的新NDS將有近GC的能力，應該 04/28 13:45
3F：→ sisik:是用在3DS上面，如同DS用N64的大作當首發來衝硬體銷量。 04/28 13:48
4F：→ sisik:陽光瑪琍歐、路易鬼屋，若是3DS有這兩款首發，就不用怕了。 04/28 13:49
5F：推 gamedf:可是如果是這兩款，說實在沒興趣... 04/28 15:20
6F：→ gamedf:至少要推出3DS特性來，DS成功在於善用，不是移植。 04/28 15:21
7F：→ sisik:回樓上，這兩款若用觸控式來玩，會很好玩，如同瑪琍歐64DS 04/28 23:49
8F：→ sisik:那樣。DS的性能無法移植這兩個作品，若3DS的性能足夠， 04/28 23:51
9F：→ sisik:這兩款是相當適合3DS的特性。 04/28 23:51
10F：→ krousxchen:鬼屋有很強大到拿來衝首發嗎lol 04/30 01:56
11F：→ Luigi00001:北美的話就有 當年L鬼屋日版銷量只46萬 美版卻有236萬 04/30 10:42
12F：→ Luigi00001:當初歐版會決定加料的原因就是在於美版賣得比預期更好 04/30 10:42
13F：→ sisik:鬼屋可是GC當初的首發，總銷量350萬片，以首發來看很好了 04/30 13:39
14F：→ sisik:鬼屋很適合用觸控式的玩法，陽瑪也一樣，但前提是3DS真有GC 04/30 13:40
15F：→ sisik:那樣的性能。 04/30 13:40
16F：→ sisik:不過S3TC似乎比不上DC用的VQ，死亡之屋2的貼圖，Wii版的較糊 04/30 13:42
