On June 10th, a promotional video of a new game appeared on the Shimmer game platform as usual.

To the surprise of many players, the launch of the Shimmer game platform this time turned out to be a simulation strategy game called "Interstellar Tinder"!

During this period of time, with the popularity of "Xuanjia Project", Shimmer Games has become well-known to many players.

Although games such as "Zodiac Guardian" and "Demons in the World" are also famous, "Xuanjia Project" is obviously more reflective of the strength of Shimmer Studios, and the super explosive potential of this game has made Shimmer Studios have the same popularity as many major manufacturers in the world.

After all, whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, only by making a super popular game can it be among the top game manufacturers.

Shimmer Studios had never made a simulation strategy game before, so players were looking forward to it and being a little skeptical.

……

At the beginning of the promotional video, the logo of Shimmer Studios was gradually faded, and the black screen continued.

If you look closely, you will see that some star spots seem to gradually appear at the edge of the black screen - it is the endless cosmic space.

Suddenly, the brightness of several stars in the distance suddenly increased, and a starfleet slammed past the camera, and soon, the cosmic space in the lens returned to silence.

The darkness of the universe is like death itself.

At the same time, subtitles began to appear on the screen.

"In the coming era, mankind has finally mastered the coveted interstellar voyage technology."

"However, the invasion of alien civilizations has brought the earth to the face of annihilation."

The fleet sails in the endless cosmic space, and in the dark and vast universe, this fleet is like a few grains of sand in the desert, pitifully small.

"A starfleet has escaped the hunt of alien civilizations by carrying out long-distance explorations, but they have lost contact with the Earth world and can only escape into the endless space."

"Perhaps, this starfleet is the only spark left in the universe by human beings on Earth!"

As the camera turns, a crimson planet gradually appears in the shot.

A blue air stream erupted from the starship and slowly landed on the planet.

"At one point, when the fleet was replenished, the fleet was suddenly besieged by the natives of the planet, the Zerg, and the starship was severely damaged."

On the screen, an overwhelming sea of insects surged in, like a tide rushing towards the firepower net of the human army!

Electromagnetic guns, railguns, particle beams...... Humans are also frantically counterattacking, powerful firepower blasted a deep pit on the ground, and the battlefield instantly turned into a scorched earth, but the Zerg army continued to rush forward fearlessly, even if a large number of Zerg warriors were instantly melted in the human firepower network, but more Zerg broke through the human blockade!

"Humanity temporarily repelled the Zerg attack, but the starship was severely damaged, and the existing conditions were almost impossible to repair."

"And, in subsequent observations, humanity discovered a frightening fact."

"The planet's star is at the end of its life and is about to turn into a red giant, with a helium flash that could occur inside at any time. Once the helium flash occurs, the entire planet, including all the humans on the planet, will be engulfed in flames! ”

"In order to preserve the last spark of humanity in the universe, the commander of mankind must make every decision, because any wrong decision may bury the entire human civilization......"

As soon as the camera turned, a game screen appeared.

On the surface of the crimson planet, the human base is constantly expanding, with mining farms, refineries, arsenals, ...... Buildings are constantly rising from the ground, and countless convoys of transports are shuttling back and forth between the buildings, busy like ants.

In a certain mining field, the exploitation of resources is in full swing, suddenly, the entire mine collapsed, a huge sandworm suddenly appeared, directly collapsing the entire mine in half, and the transport truck on the ground was swallowed by it in one bite!

Humans began to organize a rapid counterattack, and all kinds of small ships, heavy mechs, and all-terrain combat vehicles quickly surrounded and quickly launched an attack on the sandworms.

As soon as the camera turned, it turned to the distant space, and the planet's sun gradually filled the entire shot, and the dark red stars seemed to be about to explode at any moment with a deadly helium flash.

The camera fades to the ground, and eventually, the name and release date of the game appear on the screen.

"Star Tinder," June 17.

……

The content of this trailer is not complicated, and it does not play suspense like other promotional videos, basically explaining the background of the entire game clearly.

Moreover, the promotional film did not deliberately do those big scenes, there are indeed some scenes in it that are more beautiful, such as the war between humans and the Zerg, but these scenes occupy the entire promotional film for a short time, and they are not the mainstream to be performed.

The game doesn't promote the big scene of interstellar warfare, but rather emphasizes an atmosphere.

Loneliness, despair, darkness, but only a glimmer of hope.

In the footage of the interstellar voyage, the human starfleet is like a fish swimming in the vast universe, so small.

In the war between humans and the Zerg, those high-tech weapons could only barely block the Zerg's offensive, and in the face of the vast sea of insects, humans had a deep sense of powerlessness.

In the subsequent construction process, although the scale of the human base on this planet is getting larger and larger, once the camera zooms out, it keeps rising from the planet, and finally looks at the dark red sun hanging high in the sky, which immediately sets off a kind of despair.

On the surface, human beings have established a base on the planet and are prosperous, but once viewed on the scale of the universe, human beings are no different from ants, and the helium flash that the sun may explode at any time makes human beings always shrouded in the danger of extinction.

After watching the trailer, players immediately became interested in the game.

There are not many similar simulation strategy games, and there are also science fiction themes, but "Star Tinder" has clearly made its own style.

Although the game takes place on a single planet, it also focuses on the entire cosmic scale, and the ultimate goal of mankind is to escape from the planet and escape to the vast expanse of space, and the whole game feels very urgent.

Judging from the content in the promotional video, the game is also very playable, rich in content, in addition to the common construction, climbing the technology tree, the game will also face a lot of choices, and there are elements of fighting with the Zerg.

As a strategy simulation game, its content is already very perfect, and the style is also very distinct, as for whether it is fun or not, it will have to wait for the game to be launched.

Strategy simulation games are not a popular genre, so many players stop paying attention to them after watching the promotional video for Star Tinder, but for those who prefer strategy games, this is undoubtedly the most anticipated masterpiece in the near future.

"The Shimmer game platform is about to release a new game, "Interstellar Tinder"!"

"I'm also paying attention, judging from the promotional video, it's still good, and the games of Shimmer Studios are still trustworthy."

"This kind of game still depends on the specific gameplay, and it's useless to just do a good job in the promotional video."

"We'll see when it's released."

……

On June 12th, another piece of news broke out in the game industry.

Shimmer Studios' first console, GS1, will be released on June 17th with Star Tinder, and this console will support most of the games on the Shimmer platform!

In other words, many classics including "Demons in the World", "Resident Evil", "Zodiac Guardian" and many more can be played on the GS1 console!

What's more, any game you buy on the PC version of the Shimmer gaming platform can continue to be played directly on the GS1 console without having to purchase it again, and the associated save data can be fully shared!

As for the specific price of this host, it will be officially announced at the subsequent Yunuo Technology press conference.

The previous news didn't cause too much of a sensation, but the last one made the players instantly excited and discussed!

The players unanimously said: O conscience!

In fact, in Zhong Ming's previous life, Microsoft also did the same. Back in 2016, Microsoft launched the Xbox Play Anywhere program, a cross-platform, cross-device shared game program that would allow players who purchased an Xbox game to also get the PC version of the game, and vice versa, players who purchased the PC version of the game could also get the Xbox version of the game.

Of course, this feature only supports the digital version of the game, not the disc version.

In other words, under the same account, not only can cross-platform game progress and achievements be synchronized, but also the DLC, items, and season passes purchased by players can also be shared on both platforms. And the price of the game itself is not higher than that of a regular game.

But this project was not promoted in Zhong Ming's previous life, and in the current world, no one does it.

The reason is very simple, there are too few manufacturers like Microsoft who are engaged in both consoles and PCs at the same time!

Like Zhong Ming's previous life, Sony and Nintendo basically made games exclusively on their own consoles, and basically did not go to the PC platform; And those channel providers on PC will not set foot in the console.

It's not that they don't want to, it's just that they can't. Console, PC, it would be good if one of these two fields could be done well, how could it be so greedy that both of them could be occupied.

The world is also in a similar situation, console manufacturers are trying their best to monopolize and sell consoles, and the game channel on the PC side can't get game consoles, and the data exchange between PCs and consoles is naturally impossible to talk about.

For game developers, the same game on the console and PC channels is all to make more money, and it is absolutely impossible to share different channels, otherwise it will be a blood loss.

So, after the announcement of Shimmer Studios, those loyal players of Shimmer games have one more reason to buy the GS1 console.

All the games on the PC can be transferred to the console, and the data is completely interoperable, so you are left with a large amount of game money.

As for the case, do you still need a console if you have a PC? A lot of people are needed.

Because the console is a simple game console, the price must be much cheaper than the PC.

Just like Zhong Ming's previous life, the most expensive XBOX X is only more than 3,000 pieces, and if you want to match a more mid-range 2060 graphics card machine, it will also take about 7,000. Even if a top-of-the-line PC can crush the console in terms of configuration, the price will definitely exceed it by several times.

Moreover, there are very few cases of mainframe failure, which is very worry-free to use. In addition to the PC in China, players in most developed foreign regions prefer to use consoles to play games, and PCs are only used for office.

Shimmer Studios is now also starting to get involved in some games with higher configurations, such as "Resident Evil", although many players' computers can run, but it is difficult to run, and the experience is not good. If the GS1 console can be sold cheaper, many gamers are still willing to buy one for long-term consideration.

……

On June 14, Yunuo Technology held a new equipment press conference.

In addition to disclosing the price of the new host, there is also a blockbuster content of this press conference, which is to introduce the latest elite controller of Yunuo Technology and GS1 host!

At the press conference, Lin Xiaoguang used "the world's best gamepad" to describe the elite controller very domineeringly, full of confidence.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoguang also spent a lot of time introducing the new technological innovations in this handle, including the touchpad, trigger key travel adjustment, magnetic adsorption keycaps, etc., blowing the sky.

Although there were a lot of "interruptions" on the barrage when the price of the elite controller came out, the unique shape and new technology of this controller also left a deep impression on many players.

Of course, the most important thing is the cost of these equipment.

GS1 S version console (with normal handle): 2499

GS1 X Edition console (with Elite Controller): 4999

GS1 Edition Elite Controller: 999

At the last price, the audience doesn't know whether to brush "real fragrance" or "bother".

The price of the S version of the console is really good, and the X version of the console is bothered......

The price of the S version of the console is basically relatively low in the current console,Although everyone knows that it is a low-profile version,But it's completely fine to run a game like "Resident Evil" smoothly.,If you just want to try it.,This cost performance is very high.。

The X version of the host is basically the most expensive of all the hosts at present,But after all, it also includes a 999Elite handle,And according to Lin Xiaoguang's introduction,This host is indeed the highest configuration at present,The mainstream 3A masterpieces on the market can run smoothly at a high frame rate,Blowing yourself a sentence"The strongest host",There's nothing wrong with it。

At this point, the layout of Shimmer Studios in the entire console field is very clear.

At present, the biggest advantage of the GS1 console is that the console PC game sharing and data exchange, and the second is that the pricing strategy of the console is good, GS1 S takes the low-price route, GS1 X takes the high-end route, and with Lin Xiaoguang checking, the quality control of the equipment is definitely no problem.

Moreover, the GS1 console is also stained with the light of the GS1 emulator, and players who bought the GS1 emulator can directly take out the GS1 console, and only need to buy an additional controller to play directly with the TV.

As for how exactly is this console and controller? That will be known until the first batch of mice have played.
