Lake responded first: "Yeah, it is digital only, and kind of coming to this idea, both from Remedy and Epic's perspective, that's our current thinking. Eurogamer questioned the game's creative director Sam Lake, and director Kyle Rowley at Summer Games Fest (earlier this month)-the site's reporter demanded a more detailed explanation regarding the long-anticipated sequel's eschewing of physical media. Remedy Entertainment announced last month, via a FAQ, that it plans to keep Alan Wake 2 exclusive to digital platforms for an October 17 (this year) release, with no consideration given to customers demanding physical copies. Deploying more FPGAs will improve test cycles by orders of magnitudes to achieve target quality, a risk reduction mechanism for early adopters. A single board with four FPGAs emulates eight Prodigy processor cores (a small fraction of the final Prodigy product design, which consists of 128 cores) including vector and matrix fixed and floating-point processing units. The Prodigy hardware emulator consists of multiple FPGA and IO boards connected by cables in a rack. As these are shared systems, they can't be used for classified or proprietary data or data subject to regulatory governance. New partners and customers who wish to work with Prodigy FPGAs for product evaluation, performance measurements, software development, debugging and compatibility testing can arrange for private testing in Tachyum's facility. The company releases the final Prodigy build for tape-out. Tachyum announced today it will cease taking orders for its Prodigy Universal Processor Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) emulation system boards effective immediately.
