Chapter 166: Climax! The most explosive product launch in history!
It's been a day since the SE launch.
Slover13's excellent performance and extremely high-quality blockbuster trailer have successfully made SE attractive to many players.
On the first day, sales exceeded 10w+, and the "Legend of the Continent of Girarreal" cassette/digital version priced at 699 copies also sold close figures.
Even if the handheld machine only has a profit of one or two hundred, plus the 10w+ sales of the escort.
All of them made SE break through the 100 million-level mark on the first day!
Moreover.
The more important thing is.
It has established SE's monopoly position in the field of handheld computers.
As long as my machine is recognized by users, am I worried that I won't be able to receive protection fees from other game manufacturers in the future?
Just ask your factory if you want to come to the handheld area where people are stupid and have a lot of money to make money?
Think?
That's okay, let's pay a channel fee for our SE exclusive end first.
To celebrate the success of the first day.
A celebratory banquet was held at SE headquarters.
A festive banner was rolled up, which read, 'Congratulations to Slover for selling 100,000 copies on the 13th, ushering in a new era of handhelds!' β
When the small fireworks cannon in the sky bloomed, the glasses of champagne collided with each other, making a crisp sound of 'clanging'.
Surrounded by everyone, Hattori was interviewed by reporters who were invited to the celebration banquet.
When asked, 'What do you think of Huaguo's number one gamer game company about to hold a handheld launch event in a few days'
Hattori Hongyi's face was full of red light, and he smiled a little drunkly.
"This lady, this is the first time I've heard of the number one player company from you."
"The younger generation also wants to come to the handheld field to get a piece of the pie, which is of course a good thing."
"But my advice is that young people, first of all, learn to be calm, and don't do reckless and rude actions that contradict their predecessors."
"Otherwise, it will end up in a very ugly end."
Although he was smiling, his words were full of arrogance, and he had the attitude of scolding his juniors with his elders.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Hattori Hongyi has naturally heard of the number one player.
also knows what happened to Yinhui with the number one player in Huaguo.
Otherwise, according to SE's previous practice, the performance of Slover13 must be at least iterated to Slover20 to achieve.
Soon, Hattori's sharp comments also spread rapidly, setting off a lot of waves in the entire East Asian game circle.
However, given the great success of the SE launch.
The reviews of the East Asian player circle are almost one-sided in favor of SE.
"I feel that Slover13 is a little too strong, and the skill of the number one player can't match it at all!"
"President Hattori must be secretly annoyed at home.,I knew it was so popular.,I didn't send such a good model out.,Wait for me to iterate a few more rounds / laughs"
"Thank you to Player One for letting us play Slover13! If you're not the number one player, we're still playing the upgraded version of the 12th generation, right? β
"From this point of view, it seems that the number one player also has a little effect?"
"I can only say that SE takes the number one player too seriously! It's too hard, hey! β
"What are you all talking about, the number one player hasn't developed yet, why are they all singing about it, maybe they have more things? /wwwwwβ
"You might as well believe that I'm Oda Nobunaga."
β¦β¦
At this time, Kejin is at the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
But there were no waves.
He even ordered a bundle of Slover13+ Legends of the Continent of Gilarreal.
The two, plus international taxes, cost 7,000 yuan.
"I have to say, these players' money is really easy to earn, but if I want to be black-hearted......" The international tailwind air freight allowed Ke Jin to get the packaging box the next day, looking at the expensive price, Ke Jin couldn't help but sigh.
But as long as you have a black heart, the price of each game has doubled or even increased several times, I'm afraid not to mention the Yinhui branch now.
My own company has long been opened to Neon, and the living environment of SE headquarters may be squeezed.
After all, three years ago, the Blue Star game market was full of dung.
You don't even need to serve a pot of ribs yourself.
A plate of mapo tofu can conquer the player, and then sell it for an expensive price, and a group of Blue Star players who have been eating the bran will come to pay for it.
But that goes against his own philosophy is also something Ke Jin despises.
Shaking his head, he threw away the distractions in his heart.
Kejin began to unpack.
The moment Slover13 started, Ke Jin's brows furrowed slightly.
Just one word.
Sink.
It's like holding two pieces and turning your head.
Although the screen size is large, it is too heavy to feel, so that players will be very sore when they lie on the bed and hold their arms to play, and they will have back pain when they play on their stomachs.
As for sitting up......
Now that I'm sitting up, why don't I turn on my damn computer and enjoy the higher specs?
"This positioning...... Thanks to the fact that they can think of it, it's not good to bully other handheld manufacturers on the market now, right? β
Ke Jin shook his head and inserted the cassette of "Legend of the Continent of Gilarel" again.
As an exclusive escort for Slover13.
If this "Girarreal" is indeed a god of gods, it can also make players buy it.
After all, looking at the old man in his previous life, the 720P+30 frame machine configuration, plus taxes, can be sold for 2500 yuan.
People just dare to sell it, and players just have to buy it, and Zelda launchers are not called for nothing.
In six years, 120 million units were sold, and I couldn't accept it.
Merely.
Kejin after half an hour of playing.
Just put it down.
The expression on his face gradually changed from 'I didn't expect Bluestar's game manufacturer to develop a game that looks good, it's good' to 'subway old man's mobile phone'
No...... What is this......
When I first watched the promotional video, Ke Jin even thought that SE could create the concept of "open world" that did not exist on Blue Star.
As a result, I entered the game and took a look.
Nima, isn't this still a linear narrative?
The mountains in the distance, the sea in the distance, that's all for the player to see......
Even the development of the opening chapter in the forest.
The forest is not small at a glance, but the range of movement is extremely limited, and a few steps will lead to a wall of air.
As for the ACT element in this ARPG.
Kejin tries to control the character and kill monsters in the forest.
He found that it was particularly difficult to fight head-to-head......
But there is a way to play that can help players kill enemies quickly.
That is, crouch, then sneak behind the enemy, throw a dagger out of the sleeve, and stab the monster in the heart, killing in one hit!
"What the fuck ......"
Assassin's Creed: Girarel is it?
Although the game is set up, because the protection of property rights is not conducive to the development of the game, the game patent is basically a commercial method in the last century, and there is almost no concept of patent in the new century.
Otherwise, your family will apply for a patent if you launch a dragon attack, and others can't do it after he launches a meat pigeon game, and doing it is infringement. Then the juniors don't make games.
Therefore, even if SE moved the assassination setting of his "Ezio", and even copied the Hidden Blade, as long as the character modeling does not collide and the plot is not stolen, it cannot be appealed.
But......
Can you have some snacks......
You might as well change the way you assassinate.
But think about it, Ezio has already been recognized by the Blue Star market since its release, and it is regarded as the pioneering work of assassination stealth.
People rely on the gourd to draw scoops, but they can barely say it's reasonable.
After all, the cost of trial and error is eliminated.
But the game's problems are far from that.
As SE's first 3D test work, "Girarreal" cut the in-app purchase project, and 699 bought out everything.
The character modeling is also delicate and delicate, and although the scenery in the distance is forbidden for players to step into, it is still enjoyable.
The assassination gameplay is not the core of the whole game, but it can be used when the player is weak at the beginning, and after the weapons are upgraded, each school also has its own exclusive weapons and skills.
Linear narrative, but also a bit of a plot.
Anything is good.
"But it's just not fun......," Ke Jin frowned.
It's really all spent on 3D.
The details of the fight, the accuracy of the battle, and the polishing in all aspects are good.
But there is no way to immerse Ke Jin in the experience.
At the end of the day, after playing hardcore for another hour or two, Kejin decided that the biggest problem with the game was the repetitive routine.
In the first level, the player takes on a mission to help the female elves expel the dwarven invasion.
And then it's a fight, a kill, a kill.
Upgrade your weapons and skills.
In the second level, the player enters the human city-state and begins to take on the task of defending against the invasion of orcs.
Continue to fight and kill the orcs.
Level 3, Level 4......
All the way to the fifth level, to the Dragon Volcano.
I'm still taking on a similar mission, and then killing monsters to level up.
After playing, Kejin was even a little numb.
At this time, looking back at the framework of linear games, which was supposed to help players establish the core main line and improve the pace, it was more like a cage trapping players in it.
Kejin searched the Internet.
found that on some community platforms, there are also a small number of players who have begun to make similar noises.
"I'm a little bored by myself, I'm tired after about two hours of playing...... The hands are also tired, and the heart is tired. β
"This game is not as fun as it looks in the promotional video."
"Three years ago, your game sold for 699, and I would say it's awesome. But after seeing Assassin's Creed in 198 and BioShock in the same price range, I can only say that RNM refunded the money! The gameplay is not as good as Assassin's Creed, and the plot depth is not as good as "Infinite", you sell Bull Demon 699? β
However, after the Kejin refreshes.
I found that all of these comments were gone.
All that's left is.
"? This picture is amazing! It is worthy of being produced by SE manufacturers! β
"The legs of the female elf are too good-looking! I'm going to get a pack of tissues! β
"Wow! The battle on the Dragon Volcano is so handsome! The picture quality and details are all full.,This game 699? How do game manufacturers make money? β
"There are so many races to choose from! Perfectly satisfying my fantasy of Western Fantasy 3D games! SE Saigao! β
Ke Jin's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
Originally, he was still thinking.
If SE's "Gilarel" this time is really high-quality, it can even be compared to their "Final Fantasy" series and "Nier: Automata" in their previous life.
It's not like I can't postpone the release of Swtich.
Let him fill up the exposure.
After all.
The IP on hand is here, and I don't have to worry about not making money in the future.
Giving peer manufacturers a way to live can better promote the development of the game industry.
But you just have a game of this quality, and you also come to circle the money of the handheld, and you also sell Gou 8 699, and you also have to control and evaluate players in the Chinese region.
Then I'm going to have to torture you at the press conference!
Even more than the previous plan, it is even a level higher!
After thinking about it, Ke Jin took out his mobile phone and called Ke Yu.
"Yubao, after class, let's shoot a set of promotional videos, and you will be the heroine."
ββββ
Time flies.
Soon, a new week began.
In the past week, SE's launch has already gained attention from the outside world.
Its Slover13 sales have also reached a terrifying 50w+ in just one week!
Crazy 500 million in turnover.
Not to mention that there are other games that are gradually coming to Slover13 over the course of a week.
This wave of SE can be described as making a lot of money, and the follow-up is bright.
Over the course of the week, the number one player discussion became quieter.
A lot of people don't even bother to pay attention to the upcoming press conference.
After all, SE Zhuyu is in front, and it is impossible for your number one player to reproduce this kind of hot scene.
But what should come will always come.
A week later, it was also eight o'clock in the evening.
The launch of Ready Player One is finally long overdue!
It's just that from the press conference site that has not yet officially started, the indoor hall that can accommodate 3,000 people in the city's largest game venue in Jianglin is not even full.
There are not too many barrages on major live broadcast room platforms.
Compared to SE, it is more than an order of magnitude worse.
"If I'm not mistaken, the popularity of SE's live broadcast on all platforms last week exceeded 50 million, right?" Ling Zhetao still called a group of high-level executives and projected the live broadcast in the small conference room.
It doesn't matter if outsiders pay attention to it or not, they are insiders, and they still have to watch it.
"Well, it seems to have reached a peak of 65 million popularity, and the number of people watching it in real time exceeded 200,000...... It's hard to imagine the heat this can bring from a press conference. β
"The number one player is currently only 5 million hot in the live broadcast room of the whole platform, can the peak be up to 30 million?" At the same time, Jia Kuiqian also rushed to the conference room as soon as possible, and after taking a look at the heat, he looked at his own high-level executives.
"It's hard to say......"
"This wave was indeed preempted by SE and seized too many opportunities."
Although the popularity of the live broadcast room does not represent everything.
But it's more of a microcosm of an outside reaction.
If the number of people watching the live broadcast in real time is large, the outside world will only know about it.
"How dare he hold a press conference on time?" At SE headquarters, a group of high-level executives also watched the live broadcast in the conference room.
As a competitive company in the handheld field, no matter how big the advantage is, the opponent's hole cards are about to be revealed, and you still have to give a little respect.
But not much respect.
"Just bite the bullet, if he bounces the ticket, it will make him even more stupid." Someone scoffed.
"Even if it's on time, I'm curious, how much pressure is this guy carrying to start this press conference now?" Someone plays with taste.
"In other words, the president's words at the celebration banquet didn't seem to cause any reaction and response from the number one player."
"What other face to respond? I've been spooked by Slover13, and any response will only make him even more embarrassed at the press conference. β
"Okay, be quiet, the press conference is about to start, give your opponent some respect." Hattori Hongyi, who was sitting, stopped the discussion of the high-level people with a voice, but when he looked at the projection screen, there was a trace of arrogance that could not be hidden.
A dark horse in the Chinese gaming industry?
I'd like to see how far you can go!
Soon, the lighting at the press conference dimmed, and the discussion on the scene also decreased.
The spotlight hits the stage and opens with the curtain.
What puzzles everyone is.
The presenter for Ready Player One did not play.
Not to mention the engraved signboard that represents the number one player.
Even the top management of the company did not appear on stage.
Behind the curtain is just a large screen.
On the screen, Player One's first game, "Origin of Species", is slowly playing
Then, the camera jumps to "Iwanna"
Then there's Goblin Pinball, City Skylines, Wind Traveler, ......
In a flash-by-flash format, you'll see all the games released by Ready Player One over the past three years.
Until three months ago, when the latest game, Genting Game, was revealed.
Suddenly, a petite girl with a sweet and lovely face, wearing a JK suit, black leather boots and white silk, appeared on the big screen.
I saw her stretch out her hands vigorously, gritted her teeth, and stopped three steps like pushing a box, pushing the entire picture of "Genting Game" away with difficulty.
At this time, there was only a blank space left on the screen, with this girl with a delicate face.
Soon, I saw her reach out and pull another piece of the picture map over, as if pulling a pulley door, accompanied by a 'snap' sound.
The new picture completely replaces the blank world and her figure, and fits the screen seamlessly.
And all the games that flashed just now were quickly condensed and absorbed at this moment, and finally merged into a small game console.
The naming of the Switch lite was also presented.
It seems to imply that other games previously released by the number one player will be ported into this handheld console called Switch.
When this moment came, it instantly caused a commotion in the audience, and the barrage in the live broadcast room also rolled rapidly.
"I'll make up! Isn't this the main beauty lady of the number one player! β
"Little raindrops, huh?"
"Yubao is cute pinch!"
"Lost! The games that came out before can be played with the handheld, right? It's kind of interesting. β
"It's coming, it's coming! The handheld I've been waiting for is finally out! I haven't bought the Slover13 just to see what other surprises Carbotech can bring me. β
"Don't let me down!"
The buzz among the audience had just begun, but it quickly subsided.
Because everybody finds out.
This gaming screen is only the size of a palm, and it doesn't seem to have any highlights?
Or rather, too ordinary.
The overall shape is a square pencil case.
On the left side is the joystick + four buttons, and the same is true on the right side.
And when the configuration is rendered.
It's even more surprising.
Although it has the characteristics of 1K high-definition image quality + stable 30 frames.
But the Dongzhi 150-level processor it is equipped with,It belongs to the product of 10 years ago,This configuration will definitely not be able to run 3D masterpiecesγ
Run the number one player's own game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and adjust to the lowest picture quality is enough to choke.
I should only be able to play a game like "Hollow Knight", which doesn't eat a lot of configuration.
Playing Stardew Valley until the end of the game, there is a risk of burning the processor as the crops increase.
"Ah......h
"Uh......"
"Hmmm......"
A group of spectators at the scene wanted to speak and stopped.
But the barrage in the live broadcast room will not be soft-mouthed.
"Player One, are you really outrageous? What age can the old machine also be put up. β
"Dongzhi 150-level processor? Thanks to him, he can flip it out.,This thing is implanted in the computer and opens a few more web pages will get stuck......"
"The most important thing is that he dares to sell it shows that he has a lot of inventory, where is this chip wholesale, I can only say that it is very mysterious......"
"Did you use the chips eliminated by Dongzhi, with the consent of others?"
"Performance aside, the manufacturing process alone is pretty average...... In addition to the horizontal mode, there are still bright spots, but after the new SE handheld comes out, the only remaining bright spots have also disappeared. β
"My rating is, not as good as Slover13."
At the same time, whether it is Tengjing or Netcom.
The high-level people in the conference room all looked at each other.
I don't know what the number one player is up to.
Why did you come up and take out such a handheld......
Even if it's the lite light version, adjust the configuration according to this situation.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to live up to expectations.
On the other hand, at the SE headquarters, the corners of a group of high-level executives continued to rise, and the meaning of ridicule became more and more obvious.
"Normally, it should be the genuine product first, and then on the basis of the genuine product, add lite, plus, and pro versions. Adaptable to a large number of people. β
"Their family released lite first, does it mean that they don't have any confidence in the authenticity of the Switch? That's why we will first use low configuration to lower everyone's expectations, and then put on the genuine version with a relatively high configuration. β
The staff's discussions were endless, and Hattori Hongyi also snorted coldly at this time: "I really feel sorry for the number one player who used this kind of little trick at the press conference." β
"I also regret the act of encountering such an opponent and even releasing Slover13 ahead of schedule."
For now, it seems that the number one player is simply not worth throwing out his long-hidden ultimate.
An opponent of this magnitude is not worthy of self-...... at all
Hattori's words have not yet fallen.
Suddenly, a red light hit his face, interrupting his thoughts.
To be exact.
It was on the screen at the press conference, which had long been covered with a bright red.
This is followed by two simple lines of the handle, in the center.
The two handles are in a horizontal line, one low and one high.
And in the next moment.
"Click!"
A pleasant snap sound drew the attention of all the audience.
I saw that the handle, which was originally not symmetrical on the screen, made a crisp sound and remained horizontally parallel.
"Wait...... Could it be ......" Hattori Hongyi stared at the screen as if he had expected something.
As the red glow fades away.
In front of everyone, a larger handheld than the lite version was presented, quietly placed on the display case.
The exquisite design process makes it look smooth, and every detail has been carefully polished, whether it is the texture of the shell or the layout of the buttons, it reflects the humanized design thinking.
Wait until a brief look after the footage.
Soon, the scene switches.
This time it's a cozy private nest.
The girl who had just left the stage broke into the screen again, only to see her huddled on the sofa, holding a heavy handheld computer that looked somewhat similar to Slover13, and was playing the game happily.
However, after using it for a while, she shook her sour palm with some difficulty, and put down the bulky handheld, her white and tender palm slightly reddened.
Then, she took the Switch from the table next to her.
In full view.
Place the handles on both sides of the handheld ...... In front of everyone.
Disassembled!
At the moment when the handle is disassembled.
The sound of the scene exploded!
"Ah???h
"???"
"It's not...... This...... Can this handle be removed? β
The barrage in the live broadcast room began to roll wildly, and the question marks on the screen floated by.
βοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
βwtfοΌ What do I see? β
"Wori, your arms will get tired after holding the handheld for a long time, so the number one player directly unloaded the weight of the entire screen? Only let the player hold the controller, this design concept ...... Absolutely! β
"No wonder the small logo before the genuine Switch was shown just now, it will make a 'click' sound, which turns out to indicate that this handle is detachable."
"Shhh...... This handheld is kind of interesting! β
"That's right! I just said, how can my handheld camera be so mediocre? β
It's not just the audience.
Even the major game manufacturers who watched the live broadcast burst out with a trace of interest in their eyes after seeing the scene where the handle was detachable.
On the other hand, at the SE headquarters, the high-level executives who were still laughing at lite for being too mediocre just now instantly froze on their faces.
Even Hattori's brows furrowed slightly.
In terms of functionality, the Switch, which can liberate the weight of the screen, has begun to take advantage.
"However, if that's all it takes, it won't threaten Slover13's position." Hattori pursed his lips.
It's just a detachable handle, I didn't expect to be able to play like this before.
But now that you've given the inspiration, how big is it for us to do a pro in the future?
The problem is not serious.
At this time, the press conference was on.
After disassembling the Swtich screen, the female player on the screen opens the stand behind the screen and sets it up on the table.
The weight reduction allowed her to smile sweetly, and with the controller, she got back into the game.
With the switch of reel shots, a while passed.
The girl in the camera seems to be feeling some fatigue.
He looked at the Switch screen, then rubbed his eyes again.
As if to imply that the screen is too small, and I feel dizzy after watching it for a long time.
She got up and walked over to the table.
Looking at the heavy handheld computer that she had just placed aside, with a larger screen.
But it was not chosen.
Instead, the fingertips skimmed over it and picked up the Switch's standalone screen.
After a few steps, I walked to the oversized LCD TV display and inserted the independent screen into a concave case.
Not only did the Switch pop up a charging prompt.
Moreover.
The game was projected on a larger TV.
The girl smiled happily again, comfortably nestled back on the sofa, held the handle and faced the big screen, and began a new round of game adventure.
When this set of shots came along.
There was another burst of exclamations at the press conference.
"? Can you directly connect to the TV to cast the screen? β
"I can charge the screen while projecting, I'll drop a turtle...... If you're a heavy gamer like me, I bought Swtich, plugged it into the case after playing until the battery ran out, and continued to play with the big screen while charging, which not only relieves visual pressure, but also alternates battery life? β
"Since TV is fine, computers should be fine, right?"
"I love this feature that supports multiple device connections! I haven't bought Slover13 before because I feel too single, and if I want to play exclusive but I'm tired of holding it, I have to put it down for a while. But now that this feature is available, how can I go out with Swtich and come back from a day of play, and continue playing on the couch? Wow! I want to enter! β
If you say, the function of the detachable handle also makes Hattori Hongyi feel that there is an opportunity.
So now, when the multi-device connection feature comes out.
Hattori was already feeling the pressure.
This kind of external large charging case is another heavy expense.
If you want to reproduce it, if you follow the original design of Slover13, you will not be able to make ends meet.
And it's obvious.
In the Switch promotional video, the bulky handheld is deliberately used by the number one player to disgust himself.
Directly pull out the contrast for you, so that the audience can see what the gap is!
A slap in the face!
But there is no room for rebuttal.
As soon as the two major functions are released, the position of Slover13 is becoming more and more embarrassing.
In the entire SE conference room, the executives were silent.
As if facing a great enemy, his expression became a little ugly.
"But it's not that there is no chance, and there is still a lot of weight to beat us at this level." Hattori snorted.
The design of the Switch is indeed innovative, but that should be all it is about.
Detachable, can be connected to the device.
And then what? What other flowers can be played?
It's a pity.
Things didn't go as Hattori expected.
Next, Switch shows another new and powerful feature!
Somatosensory mode!
A new day on the silver screen.
The girl wearing a wide T-shirt and cool hot pants twisted her waist left and right, stretched her backhand forward, and did a set of warm-up movements.
Attach the Swtich directly to the TV screen, pull out a pair of small and delicate handles, and attach a clip with a rope to the cross-sectional slide of the handle.
Immediately put a rope on both wrists and bolt it tightly.
Then.
In a demonstration of a sports mini-game for testing.
Basketball game.
I saw her waving her arm slightly, and without pressing any buttons, the basketball on the screen was gently slapped up.
As she shakes her arms harder, the basketball in the frame shoots faster and faster.
Badminton game.
In the picture, a light shuttlecock flies in the face.
The girl raised her hand holding the handle high and suddenly swung her arm forward in mid-air!
"Buzz!"
The badminton in the picture is also cold like a cannonball and bursting towards the opposite side!
As she constantly switches between games, table tennis, billiards, and even football.
It seems that it can be done with this pair of small handles.
And in the games that Ready Player One has released before.
Whether it's the Hollow Knight's gentle swing of the arm to jump.
Or in Naraka: Bladepoint, you can throw the hook with a flick of your palm.
"Wind Journeyer" can be achieved by constantly shaking the handle up and down to achieve flight in the air.
All of them fit perfectly.
The emergence of this feature allows players to experience a new and alternative feeling even in the face of some games they have already played.
For people with disabilities who lack some fingers, somatosensory mode allows them to better experience the fun of games that were previously out of reach.
After the demonstration of this feature is over.
The audience in the audience was already in a deep shock, and everyone stared at the screen with wide eyes and blank eyes.
And the popularity of the live broadcast rooms of major platforms is also rising, and the barrage is even more dense and surging like crazy.
"Engraved ???"
"it!! Why is the gold content of Swtich still rising! The body feeling has been tossed out? β
"Good, good! Do this handheld, right? β
"Dig it, I can't even imagine how fun Hollow Knight is in somatosensory mode......"
"I'm really looking forward to the experience of Naraka: Bladepoint."
"Don't think about it, judging from the screen display, this should be just a light sensor device, and it can't restore the player's actions one-to-one, even if "Naraka: Bladepoint" lands on the Switch, it is estimated that it will have to rely more on the buttons."
"It's okay to just throw a hook, it's handsome enough! I flew out with a flick of my arm, and with the huge projection screen of my TV, it felt like I was really flying off the wall in a game! β
In the SE conference room at this time.
The moment when the somatosensory setting is thrown.
Hattori Hongyi's forehead had already begun to ooze fine sweat.
His pupils contracted involuntarily, and his brow tightened.
Detachable handle, multi-port device connection, somatosensory function.
Picking one of these three is a major innovation in the history of handheld development.
I didn't expect it......
Switch blends all three!
Not to mention the average player.
Even if it's yourself...... When I saw this handheld.
To be honest, it will be a sight to behold.
But his current identity does not allow him to praise the works of his opponents.
Hattori felt the pressure like never before.
"Probably gone...... If that's it, we SE should ...... No, it's reluctantly, barely able to keep up? Hattori was a little uncertain.
From the first glance at the press conference, the confidence has been shaky.
The devil knows what he has been through in those ten minutes......
And next.
Switch throws out two more functional designs.
Completely crushed Hattori's confidence in Slover13.
The joy-con handle is more than just individually removable.
It can even match other scenes!
If you're looking for a feel, you can plug it into the gamepad holder launched by Ready Player One and turn it into a traditional controller.
If you're looking for an arcade experience, you can also place it in a small joystick box that comes with Player One, with a larger case that corresponds to its matching buttons, allowing players to relive the arcade flavor of the late '80s at home.
What's even more amazing is that it can even go solo!
A set of joy-con can be used as two separate small controllers for two players to play alone!
As a short-term gaming experience with friends or at home, two little joy-cons are up to the task, and have a great time with friends!
When the concept is thrown on the big screen.
Even in the SE conference room, the high-level executives involuntarily took a soft breath.
Then, with the launch of amiibo, it drew a successful end to the functionality of the entire Switch.
'A realistic character figure that can help the character through some difficulties in the current stage in the game' breaks the dimensional wall setting.
It is even more climactic to the scene!
At this time, in the SE conference room, a group of high-level executives all stared at each other after experiencing several shocks, but they couldn't say a word.
When I thought about it, I was naΓ―ve to think that 'the number one player has no confidence in the genuine Swtich product, so the lite version was released first to lower the expectations of players'.
Let's take a step back and look at the exaggerated functionality of the original Swtich product......
A group of high-level executives who had spoken to ridicule were even more ashamed.
Where is it to lower the expectations of players......
That's giving the player blood pressure medicine! I'm afraid that if I come up, I will lose the king and bomb it directly, and the player will be excited!
And Hiroyoshi Hattori, who is the president of SE, has a more exciting expression than the executives!
Just now, it was only a slight sweat, and now the sweat stains have even rolled down the corners of the eyes.
Against the sky!
He searched all the vocabulary reserves in his mind, but found that the vocabulary was lacking, and in the end he could only use the more popular 'anti-sky' in Huaguo next door to describe this product......
A gaming console.
The handle is detachable and can be switched to other devices at any time.
Then there's the somatosensory mode.
The finish has also been optimised around the pair of detachable handles.
Not only can it be mounted on other handles with a better feel.
It can also be packed into an arcade box.
Even a single controller can play a game without any problems!
There is also an amiibo's sensor......
No.
Are you number one gamers making handhelds or toys?
With so many functions, just being a toy can already kill crazy in the toy market, right?
Before the announcement of the Switch.
Who would have thought that a handheld could do this?
Extreme!
In terms of functionality, it has almost been achieved by the number one gamer!
Although Hattori wanted to deny it again and again.
But the camera swept over the audience, and the stunned faces they looked at the big screen were already the best interpretation of this handheld machine!
Retracting his gaze, Hattori Hongyi looked at the Slover 13 on the conference room table, which was as heavy as a tank.
If you want to have a shape, you have to have a function, but only a vibration......
even had a hint of disgust in his heart......
Let's be honest.
If you have Swtich and are an ordinary player...... It's impossible to buy Slover13 even if you die......
"But such a machine that has almost reached the limit will not be cheaper than the Slover13, right?" Hattori had to admit it in his heart.
than functional.
Needless to say, Slover13 has been completely blown up.
But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
That's the selling price!
You have so many subversive features, plus the performance configuration to be able to play the game normally.
The price must not be discounted, right?
Thinking of this, Hattori Hongyi not only did not feel relieved, but the corners of his mouth opened a wry smile.
Before this press conference, I was still proud of Slover13.
Until now, it can only compare the price with the number one player......
Less than half an hour passed......
Undoubtedly a huge blow.
And just when Hattori Hongyi thought that this was already the limit of his ability to bear.
A bigger blow that hits you like a huge wave!
With the Switch's functionality revealed.
Detailed parameters are also presented on the big screen.
In addition to the fact that the screen is a little smaller than the Slover13, the battery life is a little worse than the Slover13.
The same configuration is 2K resolution + stable 60 frames
In terms of performance, it is almost on par with the Slover13, and the overall performance is only a small difference.
But the price is ......
2599οΌ
The moment this price appeared, Hattori Hongyi almost fainted with black eyes.
The audience was even more dumbfounded!
The live broadcast room has long been covered by dense question marks, layer after layer, one after another??? 'Spread the whole screen!
"Capture ...... Take less?? Tengjing game, Ling Zhetao, who watched the live broadcast in real time, after seeing this price, his eyes were directly round, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "This Nima is the price that people can give??? β
Last week's SE press conference, he still remembers it vividly.
It is comparable to the integrated processor of the PC side 1080T+i513600F, plus the production cost of the handheld itself.
The Slover13 is a handheld with additional vibration function, and the price is 5199.
Even if you remove the after-sales/taxes, and the one or two hundred profits that SE can get.
The cost price of Slover13 is at least above 4K, and it is even 4500.
At this price point, even if the Switch subtracts the price fluctuations caused by the performance gap.
The cost price has to come to the watershed of about 3000~3500!
And right now, the price of 2599 is ......
That means.
Just selling handhelds.
It's not just that the number one player doesn't make money.
Even the foundry that helps the number one player to make handheld consoles has no intention of making money!
A game manufacturer that doesn't make money, plus a foundry that doesn't make money??
Isn't it that you're both crazy?
Soon, the number one player gave the parameters of the control group of three different models.
Among them, the Switch lite priced at 1099 is equipped with Dongzhi 150-level chip, 1K image quality + stable 30 frames of performance, which cannot drive 3D masterpieces, and is almost an exclusive work or a PC game with a small volume.
The flagship version of the Switch Oled version, priced at 2599, is equipped with Dongzhi 450-level chip, 2K image quality + stable 60 frames, which can drive the medium and low image quality of the current 3D masterpieces on the market, mainly based on exclusive works. And compared with the lite version, there is a qualitative leap in functionality.
The last Switch Oled pro version, priced at 4999, equipped with Dongzhi 550-level chip, 2K image quality + stable 90 frames, can be overclocked, can drive all games on the market at present, including all the functions of the Oled flagship version, and give an additional set of storage bags + handheld case, and according to the player's own preferences, you can customize any exclusive appearance of all games owned by the number one player for free.
Three sets of configurations were presented, which sparked cheers from the audience!
To be honest, many viewers at the scene and even in the live broadcast room are actually relatively pure players, who don't know much about configuration or performance, or even don't understand it at all.
I'm just a stinky gamer, do I have to be proficient in so many things to play the game?
Apparently not.
But here's the thing.
After the SE press conference a week ago, SE, which thought it was in control, spent another sum of money to announce Slover13.
I also bought a lot of bloggers in the East Asian circle, Hiroko, and made some popular science on handheld performance for white players.
And they have advocated that Slover13 is a high-quality and inexpensive electronic product, and it retains its value, and it will not be greatly discounted when it comes out of second-hand, encouraging players to start without brains.
So much so that many novice players have begun to have a general idea of the performance of the handheld.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with that.
But today......
The configuration and price of these three models of the number one player were announced.
The little white players found out.
Broken! Now we can see it!
The top-of-the-line Switch is not only a cut higher than the performance of the Slover13 next door, but also 200 yuan cheaper than others.
On this basis.
The functionality of the Switch is full of Slover13!
And theoretically.
The Switch oled version can already benchmark against the Slover13, although the performance is a little worse, but the functionality and the pricing of the halving cut can throw the Slover13 into the sky.
Now the barrage in the live broadcast room has exploded!
The number one player fan who has been aggrieved for a long time was finally able to raise his eyebrows and start scoring strongly!
"Huh? What about the SE powder that barked last week? Come out and keep shouting! β
"Why don't you speak? Aren't you blowing the price of 5199 to the sky? Last week, all kinds of wild blows were super value, and the blows were simply not Chinese. Now I'll ask, among you SE fans, do you regret buying Slover? / Grin"
"2599's Transformers can still play games, on the other hand, ......"
"Don't be embarrassed, my child bought a Slover13 last week, and now when the brick pad is just right at the gate, your Switch can't do it, right? /Pout/Pout"
"Recycle Slover13 at a high price! 50 pieces per piece! How much to collect / Dog's head to take flowers"
"I don't know if you have found a detail, the first two functions of the number one player are compared with another heavy handheld, which is obviously a metaphor for Slover13, but in the last three functions around joy-con, that handheld never appeared again. What does this mean, I don't need to say more? β
"Good guys, Slover13 doesn't even deserve comparison, does it? Now it's tulle. β
"Kebao's wave of murder is still punishing! But I like it! / Bad laugh"
"Woo woo, I admit that I broke the defense, please don't scold, seriously, buddy really has a Slover13 in his hand, is there a kind big brother 2500 to take away...... Girls use 99 new ah! β
βSEοΌ WRNMοΌ Refund!! β
"Grass fucking! Isn't this pure electronic scam? If I wasn't the number one player, I would have been deceived, how dare this sell Lao Tzu 5199? you! β
"Brothers! If you haven't arrived yet, you can get a refund! SE this than the company, after the arrival of the goods only exchange not return, insidious very! β
The barrage in the live broadcast room has been messed up.
In reality, players who have not spoken out in various places have also begun to undercurrent.
In less than half an hour, the Switch launch event took place.
Hattori has received several calls from the sales department, asking for overtime manpower.
The reason is that Slover13's originally stable sales wave is falling off a cliff, and it is starting to receive a large number of return orders, and with the manpower of the sales department itself, I am afraid that this batch of orders will have to be processed until tomorrow morning.
is anxiously asking Hattori what to do.
"Huh" Hattori Hongyi wiped his forehead, and found that his palms were also full ......of sweat, and his eyes were slightly distracted.
After more than 30 years at SE, the company has been moving forward so steadily that he hasn't seen a storm for too long.
In the past, even if it really started a business war with other companies, with SE's reputation and accumulated fans over the years.
There are hardly any setbacks either.
But this time was different.
This time, Hattori Hongyi smelled a very dangerous signal!
Its own headquarters has a big business, a large number of cooperative projects, and countless game varieties under its umbrella, so it will naturally not collapse in one day.
But in the field of handhelds with a global monopoly.
At present, the Switch is almost off a cliff, so that the Slover series has come to the edge of a minefield.
Although he will not die violently in a few days.
But over time, Slover's rout was almost visible to the naked eye.
As soon as the handheld field falls, the revenue of the entire SE will almost lose half a life.
When the time comes, it is natural that they will have to close the branches outside the country in order to concentrate on stabilizing the development of their own headquarters.
I have been the president for more than ten years, and I am afraid that I will be eliminated and replaced by the board of directors.
In the face of the industry reshuffle that changed in the blink of an eye, Hattori Hongyi really never dreamed of it, and the cold sweat on his forehead seeped more and more.
As early as a few days ago, he was still ridiculing the number one player for wanting to expel CNΒ· SE's behavior is self-defeating.
Even after the success of his own press conference, he threatened the media, "If a junior like the number one player rashly contradicts an old-timer like SE, he will end up in a very ugly end." β
But in the blink of an eye, the order of hunters and prey changed!
"No...... I can't pour! β
With a rush of thoughts in his heart, Hattori Hongyi, who didn't have a good solution for the time being, spoke slowly into the phone.
"Drag the return order under various excuses, and don't deal with it for the time being, and all your sales department will be off work."
The reason for this choice.
It's because Hattori still has the last glimmer of hope!
I have one last straw!
That's Slover13's exclusive game, Legends of the Continent of Gilarreal!
Although he has not participated in the development of this new product by himself, he has listened to the feedback from his subordinates, the rating of this game is not bad, and the sales are also very high, and it has attracted 500 million in just one week.
Player support is so high, it must mean that this game is very playable, right?
With this guarantee, it also gave Hattori Hongyi a little reassurance.
An escort masterpiece that absorbs 500 million dollars a week, boy!
It's true that your Switch is giving us Slover13, but the game "Genting Game", which has the highest turnover before your number one player, has only reached a turnover of less than 400 million in a month.
Looking at the previous game, the running water is even worse.
It's only been three months since "Genting", what escort works can you make?
As long as you escort the crotch pull.
We SE can also compete with Swtich through the exclusivity of "Girarreal".
Later, we will iterate on Slover14 and copy all the advantages of Swtich! Then lower the price and improve the performance!
Even if you lose a little money, you will snatch the market back!
When the time comes, don't worry about not having a chance to pull down your Switch!
It can also stabilize my SE's position in the field of handheld computers for eternity!
Thinking of this, Hattori Hongyi's face looked a little better.
I also blame myself for not experiencing waves for too long, and this little problem is messed up.
After putting it down, the winning chance of your own SE is still very big.
Immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Eyes also turned to the press conference scene on the screen.
Come on stinky boy! Bright game now!
What other well-known escort works can you concoct?
Thank you to the 'Aris Happy' boss for the reward!!
Thank you for your support! Thank you for your love!
Give the big guy a talent show - grab the ground with your head!
Boom Boom Boom !!
