Chapter 253: Legend of Heroes

The richness of mobile games is definitely a big killer to promote the development of smartphones in the early days, so under the auspices of Zhou Xin, this series of mobile games launched by Flamingo has high hopes.

Zhou Xin hopes that they can help the global promotion of Mphone2 quickly open up the situation. The reason why I chose "Legend of Heroes" instead of games like Clan Wars and Clash Royale is because of network restrictions.

At present, only a few large cities in Ameriken have completed the rollout of 3G networks, and most areas are still in the 2G era, and the real-time adversarial game of Clan Wars is not so good under high network latency.

"Legend of Heroes" is different, this mobile game that copies the "Dota Legend" model, most of the game modes are PVE-based, only the arena gameplay involves PVP, the arena is still autocast, the network requirements are extremely low, and the network must be guaranteed to be smooth only when drawing cards.

At the same time, "Legend of Heroes" can continue to enrich the world view of League of Legends, repeatedly use characters, and let players have an emotional connection with these game characters. What's more, is there anything more attractive to users than gacha games?

Not to mention that foreigners don't like gacha games, the popularity of gacha games depends on human nature.

Charles looked at the gray icon in the Mphone app store and the reminder next to it, and felt a little frustrated.

From the scene of the Flamingo's press conference, it seems that "Legend of Heroes" is a little interesting, but this meaning is not enough for him to make up his mind to spend more than 700 dollars to change the mobile phone.

Mphone1 still works! It's sometimes a mistake to make a phone too good, and Nokia, which can be used for 10 years, not only makes competitors desperate, but also makes its own internal sales team desperate.

Fortunately, the advent of Mphone has given consumers a new reason to change their mobile phones: what age are they, and why are you still using a mobile phone that can't access the Internet?

"Joseph, did you buy the Mphone2? It's a bit of a sudden, but because I'm at E3, I've seen that some of Riot's mobile games require Mphone2 to play, so I'd like to ask you if you switched to Mphone2?

If you do, I'd like to come to your house to see the results. Charles remembered that he had a tycoon friend, Joseph, who was a fanatic of electronics and bought a lot of useful and useless electronics.

As for why we say Riot Games, because the earliest Flamingo was called Riot Games, and now Riot Games is called Riot Electronic Community, and later it was renamed Flamingo, and old players still like to call it Riot, they think the name is more domineering.

Joseph was a little surprised to receive a call from Charles: "Are you at the E3 show?" I'm here too, but I'm at the Blizzard booth, where are you? I'll come to you later. ”

Charles and Joseph are not so close friends, and Charles has only met since he left for a new company in January this year, and they talk a lot because they share common hobbies. But there is always some distance between colleagues becoming friends.

Charles said: "I'm waiting for you at the Riot booth, right next to Sega's booth. ”

Charles was glad in his heart that he was able to play with the tyrant's Mphone2 for nothing, because Joseph said this, obviously he meant Mphone2.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Joseph, dressed in a red polo shirt, approached Charles and suddenly shouted, "Hey! ”

Charles, who was running away from the temple with his head in play, was taken aback: "You're here."

Riot's game this time is a bit interesting, and it's a good way to pass the time. ”

Charles handed Joseph the Mphone1 in his hand, thinking of showing it to him.

Joseph smiled: "I know, it's really good, I've been here before you, I've already downloaded all these games launched by Riot this time, compared with "Temple Run" and "Subway Surfers", "Legend of Heroes" seems to be a bit complicated."

I haven't had time to dive in, but Blizzard's Warcraft 3 looks pretty good this time, with a long queue at the Blizzard booth and a curtain set up at their door, and the players' battle screens are projected on the screen at the same time.

I was going to go to the queue too, but it didn't seem like it would be my turn for a short time, so I came first. ”

Blizzard in 2003 was like a god in the game world, and Warcraft 3 sold 5.5 million copies worldwide in just two weeks after its launch.

Charles said: "You should have just said it directly to me on the phone, so that I would come to you, you stand in line, and we will try the gaming performance of Mphone2."

Smartphones are a time-saving weapon when queuing, and before you know it, it's your turn. ”

Joseph nodded: "Good idea, you try it first, I can only say that, the same game, playing with Mphone2 and Mphone1 are simply two different things." ”

After speaking, Joseph took out Mphone2 from his pocket, and then smoothly used his fingerprint to open the main interface, and clicked into the temple to escape: "You use your finger to slide it, and in which direction you slide, this character will go."

Come on, you try it. ”

Charles took over the Mphone2 from Joseph, and although he had already experienced the Mphone2 in Mphone's offline stores before, he was still amazed by the feel and the visual impact of the whole screen.

The most expensive part of Mphone2 is two, the screen and CPU, and other accessories are also expensive, but they are not as expensive as the screen and CPU.

Charles sat in the chair provided at the Flamingo door, and after five minutes of playing Temple Run, he died, which was much cooler than pressing the keys, touching the screen was almost unobstructed, and pressing the keyboard would feel obvious resistance.

Coupled with the visual impact of a whole screen, Charles didn't expect to play Temple Run so smoothly with Mphone2, and it feels like the whole game has been sublimated with a different device.

Joseph saw Charles finish a game and said, "Well, isn't this experience very different?"

I felt the same way when I first started playing. ”

After saying that, Joseph took out another Mphone1 from his pocket, and continued: "Because the power of the Mphone is limited, I am very afraid that the phone will run out of battery, and since using the Mphone, it is difficult for me to imagine how difficult the time it is for the phone to run out of battery."

So I usually take two phones with me when I go out at the same time. ”

Charles complained in his heart that money can indeed be willful.

"When I was just downloading the game in front of the Riot Games booth, I also downloaded Temple Run with Mphone1, and my Mphone1 had a lot of apps installed, so I could only install one more game.

After experiencing Temple Run on two phones at the same time, it felt like it wasn't a game at all, and the Mphone2 was much more expressive, not only in terms of control mode, but also because of the clarity of the screen.

Mphone2The screen is not only the best in the mobile phone,A big gap has opened up a big gap than the second best mobile phone screen,Compared with Sony、Sega、Nintendo's handheld,Its screen quality is also the best,If you count the handheld computer,I didn't find a product that can compete with Mphone2 in terms of screen performance quality。

Not to mention that the Matrix also features state-of-the-art touchscreen technology.

Newman is a god-like product manager who always brings us a bright product. ”

Joseph continued, "Let's go to Blizzard's booth first and experience Legend of Heroes while queuing up.

Although Blizzard's booth does not have wifi, this area belongs to the 3G network coverage area, and even if there is no wifi, it should not affect us to play "Legend of Heroes". ”

Walking to Blizzard's booth, a large number of people were queuing, and the curtains placed at the entrance of the booth at the same time were even more exaggerated than Joseph described, with as many as four pieces.

"It seems that Blizzard is the big winner at this year's E3 show, such a burst of popularity, the curtain at the entrance of the show, and the live broadcast of the players' confrontation, which reminds me of the E3 show two years ago, when Newman attended in person with Genting Game." Charles whispered.

Joseph agreed: "That's right, I had a similar feeling when I was lining up here before, I watched the players here for a while.

I feel that Blizzard also wants to do a good job in e-sports, and the viewing threshold of "StarCraft" was a bit high before, and I can't understand it if I don't play this game, and I don't want to understand it as easily as "Genting Game".

Therefore, in the game "Warcraft 3", Blizzard feels that it has consciously reduced the difficulty of the audience's understanding. ”

If E3 is a grand event for game lovers, then the offline competition at the end of each year is a grand event for players around the world, with ladder powerhouses from different countries around the world gathering every year to compete for the final golden shovel.

This event guarantees the longevity of Genting Game's popularity, while also bringing a plethora of benefits to the flamingos.

In the first offline competition, Riot Games was only one sponsor, and in the third edition, the broadcast rights of the offline competition were bought by three Ameriliken TV stations, and there were sponsorships from seven large companies such as Intel, HP, and Dell.

Charles and Joseph squeezed into the queue, "Stimulated by the offline game of Genting Game, of course other game makers want to eat this piece of cake."

The most eagerness should be Blizzard.

Blizzard's own foray into esports was much earlier than the Flamingos, and as a result, Blizzard's events were tepid, while other organizers' esports events about Blizzard's games were very popular.

Blizzard is certainly not convinced, I saw the news on the Riot Games forum that Blizzard has poached the head of esports of Flamingo Games, saying that it wants to make a push on esports. Judging from the layout of this exhibition, Blizzard should indeed have such an idea. ”

While Joseph and Charles were complaining about the blizzard, the crowd in line around them was also talking in twos and threes.

However, the focus of the discussion was on the game itself.

"It seems that the Terrans are much more powerful, and their class richness is far greater than that of the other two races."

"No, no, no, it's not a problem of race, it's a problem of players, the strength of the players on the left and the players on the right are too different, if their strength is similar, the human race will not be able to develop at this stage at all.

This game is actually very similar to StarCraft, where the race with an early advantage can turn the advantage into an economic advantage and then roll the snowball until victory. ”

"Blizzard's four races are all quite interesting this time, and the distinction between the races is much higher than in StarCraft. It is also easy to distinguish between the different races of troops. ”

Joseph and Charles stand in the line and are a little out of place with the other players, and they open The Legend of Heroes.

"Compared to the characters in Genting Game, the characters in this one feel much cuter."

"It's more of an animated feel."

"Definitely, after all, I switched from 2.5D to a full 2D horizontal version."

"The previous levels are a bit too simple, although they can be operated, but I feel that I can clear the level without skills."

"The animation effect is quite exquisite, and when these heroes put their skills in Genting Game, there is no animation effect after this pause."

"There are already 960 diamonds, do you want to draw a 10-game draw?"

"You can try."

The two of them moved forward in the long line, and by the time it was their turn, they had already played Legends of Heroes for almost four hours and watched an hour of PvP livestreams.

I only played for four hours because the Mphone2 was in a hurry and it was automatically shut down.

"Legend of Heroes has a lot of gameplay and is a lot of fun, and players interested in collectible games will love it, and as a mobile game, it's undoubtedly good enough to be described as excellent." Charles summed up after the Mphone2 automatically shut down.

He has already made up his mind to buy the Mphone2 after experiencing it in depth.

Charles thought to himself: Compared with Mphone2, Mphone1 is still in the era of the Industrial Revolution, as for Motorola and Nokia? They were still in the age of primitive people.

Joseph thought for a moment and added, "I feel that our experience of "Legend of Heroes" is still very superficial, after all, we can only wait after running out of stamina.

Although we bought a first-charge package halfway through and continued to play, judging from the introduction in the Riot Games Community's Legends of Heroes section, there are still many modules that we haven't experienced.

However, it was so hard to save diamonds for card draws, and they gave a lot of them at first, but they used them faster, and I even wanted to buy the $99.9 package, I think I was crazy. ”

The $99.9 recharge package corresponds to the 648 package, because the earliest built-in recharge of Apple's IOS system was settled in U.S. dollars, and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the rmb was 6.4 at that time. This pricing has been used ever since.

Charles was stunned in his heart, charging $99.9 to exchange for a virtual commodity, it was crazy.

"Subway Surfers and Temple Run are paid games, but they cost only 99 cents, which is very cheap.

Legend of Heroes is free-to-play, but it's full of paid options, and we were able to charge $6 in just four hours.

I feel that Legend of Heroes is more expensive than paid games. Charles concludes that he is sensitive to money.

Joseph retorted: "No, no, no, it's not a logic at all, a paid game is a one-time buyout, even if the game is not as you expected, you can't go back."

For free games, you can choose not to recharge, and the recharge is voluntary. ”
