Chapter 1093: Casual Player
.
April means the arrival of a new semester.
April also means the opening of cherry blossoms.
But for the majority of gamers, April of the millennium is a very delicate season.
Because at this time, Sega's DC upgrade is about to appear.
No, it's not Sega anymore, it's the Order of the Phoenix.
Order of the Phoenix's new machine, DC-P.
For Mud Bomb players, DC-P may not be a big deal, because Sony and Nintendo are more famous here, and Sega's traditional market can only be said to occupy part of the market in Mud Bang China.
For players in Europe and the United States, this machine has been expected for a long time.
With powerful performance, a powerful game lineup, an unprecedented Internet gaming experience, and the ability to interact with handhelds, the most powerful console platform on the market today was born.
Inherited from Sega's research team, it maintains Sega's characteristics of machine performance.
Higher performance means higher costs, but by fully pivoting to invest in a large eastern country, the nascent Order of the Phoenix has been able to pass on this cost, which means that the new machine is more cost-effective.
Jebr is a die-hard Sega fan.
Jebror entered Sega because of Sega's handheld in the early nineties - "GameGear (GG)".
This handheld was made by Sega to compete with Nintendo's "GameBoy", but unlike the GB, which could only display black and white, Sega's machine also supported color, which can be said to be a sensation at the time.
However, when Sega launched this handheld, it was plotted by Nintendo, resulting in the loss of the copyright of Tetris, which made the game unfavorable and went down in the end.
But Jebr liked it very much, because the GG handheld felt great, and most importantly, it could be used as a small TV with an external TV adjuster.
- Yes, Sega has done this before.
XBOX handheld used by Senxia's side,The technology of its external TV and host,It comes from Sega's own technical reserves,The other party's research in this area is very advanced,Not only external,They also studied how to keep the external picture clear doubling technology, etc.,It can be said that Senxia is at the end of the docking,There is no need to study at all in this regard,Just mix the two well。
Jebr didn't know the story behind these things, but he knew he needed a console.
Jebr is a guy who likes to play games on big TVs, but at the same time, he's also a guy who loves to travel everywhere.
So, after the GG handheld came out, Jebr was hooked.
Due to the powerful configuration of the main unit, the GG surpassed other handheld computers at the time in terms of image, sound and feel.
However, due to the use of color LCD screens, huge power consumption, and the consequence of high performance, the body is very bulky, and the game can last only a short three hours, far less than the eight hours of battery life of GB at that time, so it is not popular in mud bombing.
- However, GG is popular in North America.
The reason is simple, because here in North America, everyone has a car.
What, the machine is heavy?
It's okay, let's put it in the car!
The game is cool!
At that time, the people of the lighthouse country were so rich and capricious.
Jebror bought GG at the time, and that's why it was.
The GG's handheld lasts poorly, only three hours, but the GG handheld is the only one he can put down and play on the TV and on the plane, and for this reason, he often has several batteries in his backpack.
In fact, over the years, Jebr has spent far more money on batteries than he has spent on the machine itself.
It's a pity that Sega's staff is too poor in naming, and GG is handheld, and in the end, it really is GG.
In future esports games, GG usually represents persuasion and admitting defeat.
And in this world line, the name GG has also become popular because of the appearance of the hero's trajectory.
Jebrour also plays Hero Tracks, so he strongly suspects that the reason why Sega GG will be defeated by GB is because the name is too poor.
- Well, you see, now this XBOX, this name Dora Style, right?
Well, this name is really good enough, so much so that if Bill Gai of another world line hears this name, he will want to kill Senxia's Lafeng.
You say I'm a good home console, how did it become a handheld computer?
At this time, can I still read two poems?
IN ANY CASE, SENXIA HAS ALREADY DECIDED ON THE NAME XBOX, SO THE PHOENIX'S HANDHELD - OR VISUAL CONTROLLER - WILL BE CALLED XBOX.
"That's cool!"
After touching the real thing in Sega's experience store, Jebble's eyes were shining.
"Sir, this is your handheld. By this time, the clerk had already given him the handheld that Jebul had bought.
Jebr nodded, and was ready to get out of here—there were still many people lining up behind him.
However, at this time, Jebrour noticed a black strip next to the display machine, and he asked curiously, "What is that?"
"That's a power bank, sir. This is the same power bank as a laptop, which can be recharged in cycles and can be used as an external power supply for your handheld. The clerk didn't explain too much, because he had already explained all morning, and from the opening in the morning to now, the person who bought the machine has not stopped. Buying XBOX, buying DC-P, and buying the new one Dark Souls, explaining over and over again, over and over again, his whole brain is now at a loss.
But fortunately, his work for today will probably be over soon.
It's not that time is running out, it's that they're running out of stock here.
But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
When Jebr heard the word "power bank", his eyes lit up, and he leaned over the power bank.
Sure enough, there is an introduction here.
"...... nickel-cadmium batteries?"
This is actually a battery similar to the one used in today's laptops.
Because of the characteristics of the XBOX handheld, this handheld can be powered by an external power supply.
And at this time, Senxia thought of a mobile power supply.
The power supply is a blind spot of the times.
In this year, although there were no lithium batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries still existed.
And when Senxia saw the XBOX handheld, his mind was opened, and he thought about why this kind of device can't have a portable charging device?
In the current era, there are indeed batteries, but people's influence on batteries is stupid, black and coarse, that is because most of the places where batteries are used in this era require large voltage and high current, with lead-acid batteries, which is just right.
BUT NOT FOR XBOX HANDHELDS!
Relatively low voltage and low current can drive this machine!
Not only that, but some portable devices in this era seem to be able to drive like this!
Of course, most electronic devices in this era use dry batteries, so the range of uses is very narrow.
Although the XBOX on Senxia's side also uses dry batteries, it can also use an external power supply due to its characteristics.
So, Senxia opened his mind and launched such a mobile power supply.
- Of course, the price is also quite large, just this one battery, the price is about the same as the handheld, the main reason is that the control circuit is super troublesome, and the cost cannot be reduced.
But the more Jebul here looks, the more excited he becomes, this mobile power bank is poking at his pain points.
This stuff is good!
According to the above words in the introduction, such a power supply can supply the XBOX handheld for 24 hours, and the number of cycle discharges is more than 500 times.
Portable?
Not a problem!
When Jebul travels, he always carries a big backpack, and he usually carries two batteries, which is about the same as this power supply.
"I need this too!" he said immediately.
"Yes, sir. Although the clerk was weak, he still tried to squeeze out a smile.
Buy it, buy it, buy it early, let's rest early......
"Hey, buddy, aren't you going to buy a DC-P mainframe?"
The man in the back queue watched for a long time and found that Jebr didn't buy the host, which was unbelievable!
"I already have a DC. "I remember the lineup was generic. ”
"That's different!" said the volunteer propagandist, "The DC-P has the bracket and special design of the XBOX handheld, and the XBOX can be used to output to the TV as long as it is placed on the DC-P, and the effect is said to be very cool!"
UNLIKE JEBRIE, A SEMI-CASUAL GAMER, THE LATTER PLAYER WAS CLEARLY THE KIND OF ENTHUSIAST WHO STARTED TALKING ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF DC-P FOR XBOX.
For the average person, this kind of thing may not matter.
But when I heard that DC-P has a metaphysical bonus to the machine...... No, there is a mystery bonus...... No, after the real visual effect was improved, Jebul's eyes lit up.
And then......
Then when he came out, he not only had an extra handheld in his hand, but also a power bank and a new console, in addition to this, there was also a debut "Dark Souls" and "Lelouch the Rebel Gaiden: Nanali's Nightmare" and "Lelouch the Rebel: HD Enhanced Edition".
Well, yes, after the launch of DC-P, in line with the concept of frying cold rice while it is hot, Senxia has launched a high-definition version for DC-P after refining Lelouch's modeling and characters without discipline.
Fried cold rice should be served hot, although it sounds a little contradictory, but it actually makes a lot of sense.
"Hey, my travel expenses for next month?!"
It wasn't until the card came out that Jebr realized that his travel expenses for this month and next month were ...... Doesn't seem to have it anymore?!
The budget was overrun......
It's all to blame on that guy from before!
Jebror turned around and wanted to settle accounts with the guy who had given him "Amway" before.
Then he saw the other party walk out dumbfounded with a large stack of games and two DC-P consoles.
"Y-why do you buy so much?"
He was shocked.
"Because one person can only buy two!"
That's what the veteran player on the other side said.
"Huh?" Jebr was momentarily blinded.
"One mission, one play, one collection, this is the right posture for the game!"
Well, this concept is quite popular on the Internet.
But when Jebul heard it, he was confused.
Where is this operating?
"It's a pity that I can only buy two per person, so I'll have to buy these for the time being, and have fun, man. ”
After the other party finished speaking, he walked towards the parking lot.
When the other party drove away, Jebror reacted: he hadn't settled accounts with the other party yet!
But alas, it's too late.
Poor casual player, Mr. Jebrie, could only shake his head and go home first.
When he got home, Jebr dismantled all the outer boxes of his machine.
JEBROR THEN TURNED ON HIS XBOX HANDHELD AND STARTED EXPERIMENTING WITH NEW GAMES.
XBOX HANDHELD ISN'T A STAPLE, BUT THIS MACHINE OFFERS FUN GAMES LIKE SONIC NEW GAMES, BEJEWELED, AND ZUMA.
Not to mention Sonic, the popularity of this game in the lighthouse country is even higher than Mario.
The latter two are the favorites of casual gamers like Jebrie.
That Zuma, in particular, was really interesting.
After playing two levels of Zuma, Jebr hooked the machine back onto the TV.
XBOXthere is only one connection cable on it,This connection cable is connected to the module,The module acts as a power supply、Video output and video input function,It can be placed on the back of the TV without a brain。
After the cable is connected, the machine is placed on the TV, and after using the large screen output, the effect is really better.
But at this time, Jebr thought of what the ironcore had said before.
"It seems that you can also use the DC-P external boosting effect?"
Thinking of this, he took out the new mainframe.
The design of the official version of the DC-P is very special, and on both sides of this machine, there are two joystick holders on which you can place the controller when you are not playing games.
However, on the handle bracket, there are still several contacts that are not needed by the handle.
After reading the manual for a long time, Jebul understood that the external connection method is very brainless, you only need to put the XBOX on the handle bracket, and then let this contact be embedded in the machine, and it can be used, this docking dock-style contact method is similar to IBM's laptop.
DC-P's design in this regard is also very stupid, after connecting to the handheld, the above screen suddenly becomes a handheld screen, and there is no need to even set it up.
Moreover, the picture is really different from before.
First of all, the picture is brighter, and then the toad and the sphere launched by the toad that acts as a launch pad in the picture are also clearer, and after seeing such a picture, Jebrour seems to feel that the whole picture is +1S, and then +1S.
Such a beautiful picture!
It's so cool!
......
So, why is Sega tragic?
You've all played GG, you're not tragic who is tragic?
Fog......
Two in one, meow~
