Chapter 161: Next-Generation Handheld Design Concept! At this moment, the curtain is gradually rising!
The results of this interview were remarkable.
Only one day passed.
The whole game has exploded!
Even in the major mainstream media communities in China, the content of Kejin's interviews is also overwhelming the lace of many celebrities.
Weibo hot search.
#游戏圈大地震! The number one player shouted at Yinhui head-on, claiming to let him get out of Huaguo! #
UC Headlines.
"This man spoke! Yinhui will be forcibly expelled from the Huaguo market! 》
Zhihu hot search.
[How do you evaluate the statement of the chief designer of the number one player, Ke Jin, in yesterday's interview? ] Is it the young and frivolous or the winner is king? 】
Tiger pounce evaluation.
9.9 points in carving: "Heaven does not give birth to my carving master, and the game is like a long night"
……
No matter how much the media tries to evaluate it.
But Ke Jin's bold words this time were completely released.
is different from the previous private petty fights between Tengjing and Netcom and the number one player, secretly holding guns and sticks.
This public speech is undoubtedly a letter of war!
You, Yinhui, with almost all game manufacturers on the mobile terminal, want to suppress my number one player?
That's okay, my number one player will be the same as the Huazi who is rooted, and I will treat you CN· SE to carry out the eviction!
It completely makes you unable to mix in the industry!
Such speeches can be said to make Tengjing and Netcom a little numb when they see it.
After several rounds of ring battles, the two giants know too well what the number one player, a game company that has only been established for three years, means in the hearts of Chinese players at this stage.
In the past three years, every time my peers saw Kejin make a new type of game, it sold well again and again.
The first reaction in my mind was, 'Why does he still have something?' ''He's supposed to be exhausted', 'Where can anyone keep out the fun games as if they don't need money?' ’
Three years have passed, and Kejin has proved it to his peers with one freshly baked game after another.
I can't finish it, I can't finish it at all!
Even Tengjing and Netcom are about to be given a bit of a psychological shadow by the number one player.
Now every time I make a new game, I will subconsciously see if the number one player will release a game recently, and stagger with him as much as possible.
Because you will never know what kind of amazing game Ke Jin will come out of for you in the next moment.
Playing in the ring at the same time as him?
Crazy......
We want to make more......
But then again.
Although Tengjing and Netcom have begun to gradually look directly at the number one player, they slowly recognize it in their hearts.
This doesn't mean that the number one player will be unhappy if they have a conflict with Silverglow.
In fact, when the executives of the two companies learned that the two sides were going to pinch each other, they all smiled and almost didn't open champagne in the conference room.
Dead friends do not die poor.
Yinhui is defeated, and we don't lose anyway.
The number one player loses, and the most we can do is cry sadly.
The money that should be earned is the same, but without the number one player, the big Buddha who is blocking the road, we can earn more if the price of the game is crazy!
Therefore, after the fermentation of this incident, no matter what players and the media say.
Tengjing and Netcom have always maintained a silent attitude, neither cutting off some business cooperation with Yinhui, nor speaking out to help one of the former Big Three to step on the number one player.
It belongs to sitting on the mountain and eating melons.
And for Ke Jin.
Whether he is with Yinhui or SE, he doesn't have much hatred for him.
The reason why this time the finger is pointed directly at the past.
As soon as they came, the other party had already begun to suppress themselves, although they didn't really care much in their hearts, and they were still a little happy.
After all, the fewer channels, the fewer Kryptonians.
The fewer Kryptonians there are, the sooner you'll be able to get your ultimate pack.
Today, after many failed missions, Ke Jin's heart has actually stabilized and is no longer shocked.
But the ultimate bundle is definitely the best thing to complete.
However, it doesn't matter what you think in your heart.
The important thing is that the aura on the bright side cannot be lost!
Good people deserve to be pointed at gunpoint?
The second point.
Regarding the failure of "Genting", Ke Jin is angry.
This time, it was almost impossible to fail, and as a result, he was beaten up with all his might.
The point is that I can't find the source of the root of all evil.
I don't know who is secretly fueling the trouble.
The player who has a single krypton gold million, but he was angry with himself, and the child's temper came up and he was casually blocked, but after a few days, he still had to be honestly unsealed by others.
Moreover, it is not reassuring to block that account.
I turned around and looked at it.
Okay, you SE hit the muzzle of the gun, right? Huddle against me?
And the reason why "Genting" can take off in a very short period of time is obvious.
"Cute" really played an indelible role.
Its overly rubbish quality makes "Genting" even more fantastic, and countless players have flocked to it.
Adding fuel to the fire belongs to yes.
This is going to be put in ancient times, if my master is the emperor, it is trivial to punish you Yinhui Nine Clans, you see that I don't give you eggs to shake up yellow!
In addition, there is a third point.
And most importantly.
Player One is about to go international and take the first step.
Just take SE, a kryptonite gold factory that is quite famous in East Asia, as the first shot to start an international name!
Together, these three points are simply a natural whetstone for Kejin.
The so-called three-flower gathering top, three-pronged, three-hole opening.
If you SE don't go to hell, who does?
As for what game to use to defeat them.
Ke Jin has also vigorously tutored a wave of Yinhui's main income composition in China in the past two days.
The company excludes some of the revenue from collaborations/promotions/channels.
The majority of the proportion is mobile.
It accounts for almost 9% of the company's revenue sources.
In the midst of this.
Heavy krypton mobile games are a key point.
The heavier proportion is handheld equipment.
As early as the 80s of the last century, it began to sell red and white machinesSE, in the era when mobile phones were not yet popular, it relied on the continuous iteration of handheld game consoles.
Nowadays, the mobile phone field is highly developed, but SE's attempts to enter the mobile phone industry have been repeatedly frustrated.
Because the user's demand for mobile phones is not only to play games.
Even playing games can only be regarded as an alternative marginal demand.
Compared with the huge mainstream user base, the proportion of players is in the minority.
Therefore, SE, who is not skilled, gave up the idea of making mobile phone products, and then specialized in handheld computers.
And launched a game that is tied to its own handheld.
The monopoly practice of 'if you want to play a certain game, you have to buy our handheld first' also made SE quickly make money.
In addition, when it is publicized for the handheld, it constantly creates a sense of noble exclusivity.
The direction of promotion is roughly 'you spend four or five thousand to buy a mobile phone because you need to use it, but you spend two or three thousand to buy a game console that you don't just need, which is proof of economic prosperity'
This kind of marketing is not to say that it is similar to the diamond merchant's promotion method of forcibly tying love, at least it can be regarded as smelly.
But don't say it, many people really eat this set.
Many gamers think it's cool to have a handheld, and they even want to show it off when they take the bus or subway.
To be honest, it is human nature to show off the thing itself, and everyone has it, and there is nothing wrong with that.
SE just accurately grasps this weakness and amplifies it infinitely, which can be regarded as a skill that can make a fortune.
On the other hand, as an exclusive game console, the configuration of the handheld can be completely distributed according to the requirements of the game, so that the performance is stronger than that of the mobile phone, and the convenience is higher than that of the PC, so it has maintained a good sales on Bluestar.
Nowadays, Yinhui, as a Huaguo company controlled by SE, has many mobile games that sell fairly well, and they will also be transplanted to their own handhelds, which can be shared at both ends, which can open higher picture quality and smoother experience.
What's more critical is that the SE squeezing toothpaste-style handheld iteration.
It will prevent the price of previous generations of handhelds from depreciating rapidly.
Players start with two or three thousand, and when they sell it, they can still sell it at about 80% of the original price, and they can't lose much.
For various reasons, many players are willing to buy the handheld launched by SE.
Whether it's for a better gaming experience + a more comfortable playing environment, or for pretending.
When sales go up, most of their user groups have a handheld computer of recent generations.
SE began to do channels.
Transplant and introduce other people's games, and directly open up your own handheld into an exclusive handheld game platform, and sit on the commission.
A standard set of serial punches down.
So that SE has almost no opponents on the mobile side of the entire East Asia. (PS: As mentioned earlier, the old Ren of this worldview was backstabbed by SE in advance, and Sony only made other digital devices due to the butterfly effect in this life, but did not make game consoles.) )
In the absence of opponents, it is more safe to squeeze toothpaste boldly.
Without involution, the SE handheld computer living in the comfort zone has almost stagnated innovation since almost ten years ago.
So far, although the appearance is larger than the original red and white machine, the shape is more gorgeous and exquisite.
But in essence, it is still a mobile phone-style vertical screen model, and the player holds the arrow keys and buttons below, as if pinching a brick vertically.
Many players have complained that this is a great pressure on the hands, and they have to stretch out two index fingers to stand behind the machine as a stand, which is very hard for a long time.
SE actually has a solution, and players have even suggested changing it to a 'landscape model' altogether.
And guess what?
SE has changed, but not much.
The main changes to their homes are:
A set of finger sleeves specially designed to support vertical screen models has been put on the shelves.
Players only need to wear finger cuffs on the knuckles of both index fingers, and the suction cups on the finger cuffs can be used as support points to help relieve pressure.
Just two gadgets made of plastic,SE even dares to sell 168,And 168 is still a blind box,There is a basic color appearance,There is also a special skin appearance linked to its own game,What is random to draw,But the probability of rarity will not be high。
It simply integrates the concept of krypton into the real thing.
It belongs to the Pingguo company, and when I saw it, I had to put my arm around SE's fragrant shoulder and say, "Dude, you're too extreme, it's really not."
Of course, during this period, it is not without other small factories that make handheld computers that want to get involved and get a piece of the pie.
But basically they will be forced out of the game in the form of a joint boycott by SE.
After all, not everyone is called the number one player, and not everyone is like Kejin who holds many popular IPs in his hands, and is full of confidence to call out to big capital.
What's more, manufacturers who make handheld consoles may not be able to have games to match.
If you can't get a game, you can do it no matter how fancy.
SE only needs to sign an exclusive contract with other game manufacturers, and you can only stare at the meat and run into other people's bowls.
But for Kejin.
These seemingly difficult obstacles are not a problem in front of him.
Handheld?
Even after six or seven years of release, the famous Switch can still hold up the reputation of next-generation consoles.
And a game that matches the handheld?
If you say this, then I'm not sleepy.
Mario series, Pokémon series, Kirby series of stars, as well as classic IPs such as Kinesis, Fitness Ring, Splatoon and so on.
There is also a game that has been hailed as the best open world game in the world.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
come! SE!
You look at so many handheld IPs in my arms, and tell me out loud, who are you going to boycott?
"Beating him in what he does best is a crucial step in making a name for himself." Ke Jin made up his mind in his heart.
Next goal, make a Switch!
And the game, just do the palm game!
If the progress is fast enough, it will be just in time for SE's annual release of the new 'Slover 13' in the middle of summer.
Come on! Head on! I'll cut you first!
……
After sorting out his thoughts, Ke Jin began to summarize the core and characteristics of the Switch with his own memory, writing and drawing on paper, and making a draft first.
This kind of thing that has nothing to do with the design of the game's body, Brother Tong Zi can't give much help.
Kejin can only rely on memories, and then find a foundry to conduct model trial and error first.
As long as the appearance, performance, and function are strictly in accordance with their own requirements, they will not be too different from the Switch in the previous life.
Even the problem of 'next-generation handhelds supporting old-era performance', which has always been criticized by players, can be easily improved by themselves.
But the most difficult part is still in the chip technology.
It's a topic that almost every country can't avoid.
Its coverage is too wide, from aerospace to military technology to medical equipment.
It is as small as all kinds of electronic and digital products.
Even smaller areas such as small furniture/toys can shine.
It belongs to the core pillar of the information civilization era.
If you want to make a device that is exclusive to gaming, whether it is a home console or a portable handheld, you can't do without a chip.
Chip technology is usually in the hands of various cutting-edge technology companies around the world, and some top technologies will even be monopolized.
The game design plan can be paid out without money.
As for the chip process......
Player One can't really do it.
Therefore, if you want to make a handheld computer, you must find a foundry.
In the previous life of Switch, the main foundries were Futukang and Bao Mc.
In terms of chip technical support, it is also necessary to find INVISTA to do a customized version of the castrated double U, that is, CPU and GPU.
But soon, new problems arose.
With the authorization of Kejin, Qiao Yuan tried to contact the full-time staff of Futukang and Baoji, and proposed to customize the handheld.
The other party is not very cold.
and threw out an offer that Kejin was a little unacceptable.
1500 yuan/set.
After the completion of the matter, Kejin himself needs to unilaterally contact INVISTA or ATI, report the required configurations, and negotiate the price.
The price of chip technical support is not represented by these two foundries, so the actual output cost of each Switch may be more expensive.
What's more, this is only the first wave of tentative exchanges with foundries.
The direct connection and fast charging technology of the base, and the remote sensing technology of Joy-Con.
These two brand-new concepts have not even been proposed yet.
If you count these two together.
Kejin estimates that the production cost will soar directly to 3,000 yuan / unit.
You know, it's still the cost of production......
There must be a certain profit in making your own handheld.
Even if a machine only earns three or five hundred yuan.
The overall selling price will be raised to a watershed of 3500.
The price of 3500 ...... It's nothing for Krypton.
But for many civilian players, it's going to be fatal.
What's more, there's a bunch of game cartridges waiting in the back.
When the time comes, don't talk about making it to kill SE.
Your own family will burp because of the price that is too expensive.
"Mr. Ke, do you think there is a possibility that SE has negotiated with two large foundries and deliberately stuck our necks?" After contacting the foundry on and off for a week, and talking sincerely many times to no avail, Qiao Yuan finally couldn't help it.
She has been working in the company for more than half a month, and due to the good atmosphere in the company, she quickly adapted to the new environment.
Coupled with the fact that her boss is more easy-going, she feels more relaxed.
This will be angrily clasping his arms, leaning on the desk of the general manager's office, and fighting with Ke Jin in the same hatred.
"I don't rule it out." Ke Jin looked out the window and thought.
SE's handheld has been famous for a long time, and there are online and offline stores around the world, and the channels are very wide.
And in this life, there are no roadblocks like Nintendo and Sony.
Even as far away as Europe and the United States, the popular XBOX and SE themselves are different from each other.
XBOX's main thing to do is to connect to the TV port of the large host, and the main way to play is the digital version + CD.
The SE specializes in plug-in card portable handhelds.
The needs of users are different, and the two belong to the well water and not the river water.
As a result, the SE handheld is almost a monopoly, with annual sales in the millions or even tens of millions of units.
It's more advantageous to talk to the foundry.
And its own small company, let alone looking at the world, even in China, once it gets out of the game industry, its influence will decline.
Moreover, I know that as long as the Switch is born, it will be able to lead the transformation of the handheld industry in a cliff way.
But other foundries don't know.
In the eyes of others, you may be just a whim.
If long-term cooperation cannot be negotiated, the price will definitely not be able to be suppressed.
It's better to push the boat down the river and buy SE a favor, and the card on your neck makes you feel sick.
"If it doesn't work, let's talk to Huazi again." After thinking about it in his heart, Ke Jin said.
In addition to the development of chip technology, Huawei itself is also a large-scale foundry.
Not only will they make mobile phones, cameras, computers and other brands, but they will also receive some other business orders of cooperative nature.
But well......
Between its far leading development concept, the price negotiated with Huazi is estimated to be unfavorable.
In addition, Huazi itself has no experience in the design of game handhelds.
Finding them is tantamount to starting from scratch on both sides, and it may take a while to ink.
But there doesn't seem to be a better option right now.
There are only a few major foundries that can be selected in China.
However, the hardware requirements of small factories themselves are not up to standard, and quality control is easy to have problems.
Or go to South Korea to find Samsung, LG and the like.
But if you go abroad, there is an international tax issue involved.
Ke Jin is still in line with the attitude that if he can, he will not trouble if he can.
Let's talk to Huazi first.
If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way.
"I used to wonder if I could run a company well, but now I think so, if I can run a company on my own...... I'm still far from it. Qiao Yuan sighed slightly.
"Because I overlooked a key issue, the final decision. I was able to provide a lot of advice, but there was a lot of time for me to check on the top, so I felt that it was easy to manage...... But in reality, I am not responsible for these decisions. ”
"The word responsibility, which looks easy, is actually heavier than the sky pressing."
"It's just the beginning, and I'm already feeling the resistance, and if it were me, I might already be a little messed up."
"Mr. Ke, you sit in this position, and the pressure you are under every day is not intuitive even if I am in close contact with you, but I can feel this pressure...... You must be tired, alas. ”
"The road is dead, and the man is alive, and there is always a solution. You go first and contact Warwick. Ke Jin smiled and comforted Qiao Yuan, who felt helpless for the number one player.
watched Qiao Kite leave the office with her high heels.
Ke Jin's gaze flickered slightly.
As early as when he took this step, Ke Jin had already expected a bumpy road ahead.
If you want to gain a firm foothold on the world stage, you basically have to be mentally prepared to pass five levels and kill six generals.
This is just the first hurdle to break out of the country.
There is no way to overcome this, so it is only worthy of crazy involution with several other factories in China.
"By the way, the account needs to be unblocked." As if I had thought of something.
Kejin called up his company's system background again.
The super player who sealed it half a month ago 'stewed a goose in an iron pot' thought that it would be okay to refund and ban the account.
For a player like you, you're not welcome to be our number one player!
Don't play our house games at all!
As a result, I didn't expect that little bastard to be quite noisy.
After repeated appeals to the company, he temporarily suppressed it on the grounds that he was 'being processed'.
It's just a procrastination.
lest after turning around and releasing it to others, he will start to make trouble in the heavenly palace again, and in his next game, he will vent his anger and krypton tens of millions.
In case the fuck gives himself a new task Krypton, Jin really has no place to cry at that moment.
As soon as the other party saw that the road of appeal was impossible, he began to frantically act as a conspicuous bag in the live broadcast room.
In the last interview, Ke Jin had already seen this barrage of escape.
I thought that it would be solved by silent cold treatment.
The result not only failed to solve, but intensified!
This little cub directly began to brush gifts from major game streamers.
And the ID is called 'the number one player blocked my million account and pretended to be dead'
It's also embarrassing to get a group of game streamers every time.
Don't read the ID.
People gave gifts in a down-to-earth manner.
Let's read the ID......
This ID is a bit dangerous.
If you don't get it, you have to come out of rhythm.
And recently, this little cub has started to focus on major game community forums again.
Ke Jin learned that she seemed to have a certain status in the gaming circle.
So when she wrote a small essay, she tearfully reprimanded the number one player, saying that she 'obviously played well that day, and wanted to support the number one player, but the number one player blocked the entire account with a million backhands, and now all the games can't be played'
The grievances were revealed between the lines, and for the first time, a group of poor buddies felt sorry for her.
Because the players found out.
She also posted a lot of screenshots of playing the Ready Player One game under the essay.
There is joy, there is moving, there is happiness, there is refreshment.
Every screenshot of the game is a moving testimonial.
This little rich woman has a real love for the game of the number one player.
And the number one player treats a player who can be called a big fan like this.
The reason behind it is chilling!
Even a week after the situation fermented.
A group of players have already started to fight for 'Big Goose Sauce'.
During this time, all you have to do is tap on any of the communities related to the game.
The top topics are bound to be – #头号玩家你真该死啊! #
The number one player, who almost never has a black spot, has also fallen into the turmoil of this 'abuse of iron fans'.
The call for an unblockade is getting louder and louder among the player base.
Kejin also knows.
I can't pretend to be dead anymore.
Damn!
I just want to seal a kryptonite quietly!
Why would an ordinary kryptonite make such a big noise!
I just don't want to be backstabbed, woowoo......
Crying!
However, due to the rhythm, Ke Jin still dared to fully unblock the account.
and personally apologized on his personal Weibo account.
Well, it's a mistake.
The reason, because the amount of krypton is detected to be too large, it is considered to be a minor operation, and in order to protect the interests of players, the account is temporarily banned.
The reason has now been ascertained, and the player 'stewed goose in an iron pot' is the number one player's official improper operation and ban.
And I apologize for issuing a set of 'Goose and Duck Kill' exclusive limited skins - Big Goose Sauce as compensation.
As soon as the results came out, the game circle suddenly reveled.
Everyone is happy that 'Goose Sauce' can be resurrected with full blood.
You think that's the end of it?
Naive!
Ke Jin also left a back hand.
Since the ban can't deal with this malicious krypton problem, let's directly deal with the person who caused the problem!
I'm unblocking it for you.,I also made you the exclusive limited skin of goose and duck killing.,And it's also exclusive to your big goose sauce.,Other players don't have it.,The only one in the world!
This apology is sincere enough and enough to save face, right?
But what?
But!
Your account! All games that will be recharged by the top player in the future will be discounted by 20%!
If you charge enough 100,000, you will get a 6% discount directly.
Recharge another 100,000 and continue to get 5% off!
If you dare to charge, I will dare to give you a discount!
And the discounts continue to work and radiate to all Ready Player One's games.
It's a big deal, but what about your next game? What's next?
When you can only get a 0.1% discount when you charge at that time, how should you deal with it?
However, the account cannot be traded, and once the account changes hands, the account will be blocked immediately.
And this matter, Ke Jin did not say it directly in the announcement.
It belongs to the exclusive secret modification of the account of 'Stewed Big Goose'.
Whether the other party finds out or not, it's not a big problem.
found out, it can be used as a private gift for the number one player, and it belongs to apologizing to you ruthlessly.
You should be grateful to Dade!
The more you appreciate, the more you recharge, and the more you recharge, the more discounts you get.
The less money you can actually add in.
So, the more you charge, the less you charge.
Hmph, want to top up money?
Less disgusting to me!
