原贴地址： Demo at BlizzCon 2008 翻译： www.D3.cn BY 矮冬瓜 硬件配置问题一直是玩家最为关心的焦点之一，毕竟很多人就准备等着配置公布换电脑。然而以前有很多人试过问各种各样的问题，Bashiok从来没搭理过，今天这位玩家换了一个更加聪明的问法——WWI视频中的配置，Bashiok人品爆发，回了很长的贴，不过也就是调戏一下万千大众，此帖到底有料无料，全看个人了。 Bashiok，你能不能告诉我们在WWI视频中的游戏硬件配置？ 本帖地址：www.D3.cn  Bashiok:你们真是疯了……
有以下几个原因说明视频游戏硬件配置并不重要： 我们大部分的硬件是由制造商直接借给我们的。从我们的角度出发，这些硬件让游戏看起来更加优秀、运行的更加流畅，从厂家的角度出发，他们可以展示了他们最新最好的产品。所以总体来说，我们当时采用的绝对是最高新的设备。
由于我们放出的是“预览视频”，所以我们采用的设备具有前瞻性——最起码要保证他们在游戏释出的时候不会落伍。游戏还没有到达（显然没有）最终QA也没有做相关的硬件测试——这些测试将会在游戏发行之前不久进行，所以为了保证游戏的流畅度，我们在WWI视频中采用了特殊的硬件。
这种谨慎的态度在某种程度上可以避免我们由于过早的估计硬件发展趋势而落伍或者是走入旁门左道。在其中加入更多的CPU/RAM/3D程序，并且从整体上避免过早估计硬件发展将会对这款尚未发行的游戏所带来的问题，这两点是我们目前的目标。
所以，一方面制造商想展示他们的产品，另一方面我们尽量避免对硬件发展的低估，我们希望游戏运行的更加流畅和自然，因此在WWI视频中我们使用的设备可能已经先进到即使游戏发行，也绝对不需要如此配置的程度。
实际上这就是你们要的答案，当然也不排除这些配置可能就是游戏标配（当然是在未来释出的时候）。但是这些真的不重要……更为重要的是——我不会告诉你这些配置的！

Bashiok, could you tell us, what was the hardware configuration of the computer whereat the Diablo III ran?
Bashiok:They were insane.
There's a few reasons why it doesn't matter what those machines were though.
Most machines are lent to us by hardware vendors. It's in our interest to have our games look good and run well, and it's in their interest to show off the latest and greatest their company has to offer. So generally they're top of the line, using all the newest and best hardware.
Because we're working with a pre-release version we work with the hardware that's going to be on the show floor to build a final show floor build. The game hasn't hit (obviously) final QA and hardware compatibility testing as it would before release to the public, so we need to ensure it's going to run smoothly on this one specific set of hardware for the show.
It can also help, to a degree, overcome some potential technical hurdles we could run into with a pre-optimized build of the game. Throw more CPU/RAM/3D processing at it, and generally those pre-optimized problems won't throw a wrench into the brief glimpse of a game that isn't finished yet.
So, the combination of having hardware vendors showing off the latest and greatest, coupled with our interest to have a unoptimized version of the game look good, leads to show floor specifications that are probably way beyond what even the final "Recommended" specs for the game would be, let alone "Required".
This is the general outcome anyway, it could turn out that hardware we had is EXACTLY recommended spec and I'm TOOMA here. But regardless it really wouldn't matter at this time, and also... I'm noooot goooonna teeeeell yooooou! ;)
