Chapter 319: The Rhapsody of the Online Game Controller

"Mr. Liu, don't you know what the requirements are for this special handle for the King of Fighting of the Dao Mythology Group?"

Now that the negotiations have been settled, the rest of the matter is handled by professional negotiators, and Wang Feng, the president, is only responsible for the general direction. I just heard Liu Yong say about the special gamepad of the king of fighting, as a businessman of game peripherals, he knew how important a good gamepad was to the player's game experience, so he asked Liu Yong at the first time.

Liu Yong asked: "I wonder if there is a gamepad that has been developed by Beitong to serve online games at present?" ”

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment and said: "Aren't all the gamepads the same now and can be used in online games, it's just a little troublesome to use in online games." ”

"Indeed, the current gamepad can also be used in online games, but except for a very small number of games that support the controller, other games need to be implemented by the keyboard mapping software of the controller, and because the current controller only has four function keys, it is extremely inconvenient to release skills, so we have developed a handle specifically for online games." One of the purposes of the Mythical Group's acquisition of Beitong is also to develop a controller dedicated to this online game.

Wang Feng nodded, and he began to ponder, digesting the meaning of Liu Yong's words.

The current gamepad standard configuration is established and implemented by Nintendo, which includes the D-pad (direction), ABXY function key, and some game manufacturers mark 1234 on these four function keys, but the function and arrangement are basically the same, as well as the selection and pause button (menu) These three control buttons.

With the upgrading of gaming device hardware, modern gamepads have added analog sticks (direction and view), trigger buttons, and HOME menu buttons.

However, these gamepads have never been as refreshing as the keyboard to play online games,Even if it is a fighting online game with a handle to play and release skills, this weakness has not been changed,If you can really develop a gamepad for online games,Wang Feng absolutely believes that Beitong can become a great man in the history of game peripherals。

Thinking of this, Wang Feng couldn't help but feel short of breath, he grabbed the phone on the desk and dialed a number, calling someone to come over and discuss.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his early forties hurriedly walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Mr. Wang, do you have anything to do with me?" Hurry up and I'm leaving, our latest gamepad is at the most critical moment, and I need to go back to the town. ”

Wang Feng pointed to the sofa on the side and said, "Old Wu, I have something important to discuss with you this time, as for the latest game controller, it will be the same when the sun rises later." Let me introduce you first, this is Mr. Liu Yong, the director of the marketing department of the mythical group, Mr. Liu, this is Wu Jun, the technical director of Beitong. ”

Liu Yong first stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Director Wu, we will all be a family in the future, please take care of me." ”

Wu Jun was a little puzzled, when did the Mythical Group and Beitong become a family? However, he is not the kind of person who doesn't understand the world at all, and he also showed a little smile at the moment and said: "Director Liu, look up for a long time." ”

"Old Wu, let me tell you something, I have already negotiated with Mr. Liu just now. Mythical Group will invest 500 million US dollars in our Beitong and hold 60% of the shares, so at present, Mythical Group and Beitong are already a family. Wang Feng told the story of the mythical group's capital injection into Beitong just now.

Wu Jun was stunned, although he also had a little stake in Beitong, which he obtained by investing in shares with his skills, only the right to dividends, to be precise, he was still a wage earner, he really didn't expect that his boss would have changed in such a short time.

After a long while, Wu Jun came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly, today is not April Fool's Day, and asked, "Mr. Wang, are you telling the truth?" ”

Wang Feng patted Wu Jun on the shoulder, nodded and said, "This is indeed true, although we Beitong only reached a verbal agreement with the Mythical Group, it should become a reality in the near future." Lao Wu, you don't have to worry, what should you do or what to do, the capital injection of Mythical Group will not interfere with our operations, I came to you this time mainly for another matter. ”

Wu Jun put his mind at ease, he just changed his boss, and it had little to do with him, "Mr. Wang, what are you looking for me?" ”

Wang Feng looked at Liu Yong, and Liu Yong said with a smile: "Director Wu, let me talk about it." This is really just an idea, you are an expert, and we would like to ask you to evaluate whether this idea is likely to be realized. The idea of our mythical group is to develop a gamepad specifically for online games, this kind of controller must be able to fit online games perfectly, and can easily release the row of skills in the skill bar like a keyboard, Director Wu, do you think this kind of controller is possible? ”

Wu Jun was also very excited when he heard Wang Feng's idea, and the controller in the current game peripherals is a stand-alone game, a console game or an online game all use the same kind of controller, and at most one or two function keys have been added, and there is no change in essence. Being able to develop a brand new handle has an incomparable allure for Wu Jun, a technical maniac.

Wu Jun was silent for a moment and said: "It's not impossible to realize, I think so, the cross key of the handle is still on the left, the ABXY function key and the menu key and the pause key are canceled, and ten to fifteen or so keys are added to the right and middle, and then a keymap program that can fully fit this kind of controller is built into the game, I believe you can play online games more smoothly." However, this is just an idea of mine, and it has not been verified in practice, and it needs to be made and repeatedly modified to make players achieve the most refreshing game experience. ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "An expert is an expert, just now I discussed with Mr. Wang for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, Director Wu came to make us suddenly enlightened, really listen to your words, better than ten years of reading!" ”

Wu Jun said with a wry smile: "Although this transformation is relatively simple, if it weren't for Director Liu's idea, I would never have thought of this kind of game controller." It's like the refill of the ballpoint pen in the past will leak ink after a long time of use, no matter how people improve the refill can not do not leak ink, and then a Japanese through repeated tests, statistics when the ballpoint pen writes how many words will leak oil. On the basis of mastering this amount, he set about reducing the amount of oil in the refill, so that when the bead ring of the ballpoint pen wears out and begins to leak, the ink in the refill is almost used up, so that there is no more oil to leak. My thinking has been solidified, without Director Liu's thinking of the sea and the sky, no matter how good the technique is, it is just a technician. ”

Wu Jun said: "Old Wu, don't be humble, go back quickly and start developing this kind of online game handle, and strive to start mass production within half a year." ”
