Gli sviluppatori EA presenteranno le innovazioni del motore Frostbite alla GDC 2024

San Francisco’s annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) returns next week, bringing game devs together to share stories, La Wonder Woman Experience segna l'inizio di una nuova serie di luoghi dedicati, and advice on everything from lighting scenes to writing resumes. Electronic Arts speakers will be participating in more than 25 in-person sessions this year, including multiple talks touching on innovative technologies driving the creation of next-gen games at EA.

This year’s tech-focused sessions dig into the details of several successes, compresi Congelamento‘s non-interruptive expansion to new gaming platforms, SEED’s work generating photorealistic facial rigs, and techniques for high-fidelity cloth simulation in Frostbite for EA SPORTS FC 24. There’s also a fantastic talk from Respawn’s Christopher Pierse and Samy Duc that explores the evolution of matchmaking techniques in Apex Legends, going all the way back to 2019.
