Zhou Jiangping said: "Well, the problem is that there may be some small flaws that need to be continuously optimized, but it can be done."
Chen Mo asked, "What do you mean by not being able to guarantee the performance?"
Zhou Jiangping explained: "There may be many problems, including handle connection, game optimization, etc. Another big problem is the acceptance of players."
Chen Mo nodded: "It's okay, I'm mentally prepared for this. In short, can you produce a feasibility report and analyze this plan in detail?"
Zhou Jiangping: "Of course, I will arrange someone to do it immediately."
The follow-up plan proposed by Chen Mo is actually a plan for the integration of handheld and mobile phones.
In the follow-up plan, Chen Mo proposed whether it is possible to connect the two handles of the switch to the player's mobile phone through Bluetooth or other means, so that the player can also play games on the switch on the mobile phone.
However, Chen Mo's first choice was not to adopt this plan, but to redo the switch honestly, because this plan was immature and needed to be paved with a switch first.
As Zhou Jiangping said, in terms of the level of technology in the parallel world, it can be done, but there will be corresponding problems, and these problems will affect the game experience of players.
The first problem is the screen size. The switch's screen has reached its limit for a portable handheld device, but even so, it can barely display the game with the smallest screen.
Games like "Odyssey" and "Legend of Zelda" are very comfortable to play on the TV, and it's okay to play on the switch without being depressing, but if you put it on a mobile phone, the screen will suddenly become several times smaller Circle, you will definitely feel very aggrieved, and even the text of some dialogues seems to be strenuous.
After all, mobile phones should be designed with portability in mind. Although there are many super-large-screen mobile phones, most people still prefer mobile phones that can be held in one hand.
The screen is so much smaller, it will definitely have an impact on the experience.
The second question is mobile phone capacity, compatibility, heat dissipation and so on. Although the capacity of mobile phones in this world is large, mobile phones of the same price are definitely not as good as Switch in terms of playing games, because Switch is a dedicated game console.
The third problem is the adaptation of the mobile phone and the handle. It's not that it can't be adapted, but the handle must be developed first. Odyssey is only really fun to play with two controllers, it’s impossible to play with a touchscreen and a virtual joystick.
In the parallel world, the development of Switch is mainly troublesome on these two joysticks, and the screen is nothing more than a large mobile phone.
Now the switch prototype has been produced. Chen Mo can then consider connecting the handle to the phone.
Besides, Chen Mo had other plans.
Of course, Chen Mo would not think that just a brand new handheld and a brand new game can make most players pay for it. After all, this world does not have the consumption habits of the previous life. For many people, Switch is a new gadget. It will still be based on wait and see.
Therefore, in order to help players make up their minds to buy their hands, Chen Mo also very kindly launched a variety of marketing strategies.
The first is to ensure that the handle can be connected to the mobile phone, and the handle is sold separately, the price is about 500.
Secondly, Switch will be equipped with the Thunder game platform by default, and all independent game designers on the Thunder game platform are encouraged to change their games to versions that support Switch.
Isn't it just to expand the game library? It’s easy to say, I have a lot of independent games in my hand, and I will add all that can be added for you.
Anyway, Chen Mo didn't do it himself, just ask other designers to change it. Some games are relatively simple and cannot fully utilize the characteristics of the switch.
And according to the performance of the magically modified switch in the parallel world, it can fully support most independent games suitable for mobile phones and PCs on the market.
At the same time, the handheld will automatically connect to the Thunder game platform, and the games on it can be purchased and downloaded for a fee.
The price of the handheld is about 2,000 yuan, which is actually not high, because only two handles cost 500 yuan. For gamers, buying a handheld is much more fun than a tablet.
Of course, there will definitely be players who prefer to play on mobile phones to save money. Therefore, Chen Mo also sold the handle and the connector for connecting the mobile phone to the TV separately.
However, Chen Mo believes that after these players have played for a while, many of them still have to spend their money to buy a Switch.
The reason is simple, large screen, long battery life, good heat dissipation, good performance, no need to worry about phone/message harassment...
…
After the first prototype of the switch came out, Zhou Jiangping and Lehui's technical staff began to continue to study the solution of connecting the handle to the mobile phone.
Chen Mo specifically told him that it doesn't matter if the plan is not perfect, at least make the plan first.
This is a bait for many players who don't want to buy a handheld, which can make him concentrate. As for whether it is useful or not? It can be optimized later on.
Anyway, the most important thing is to throw out this concept first.
With the technical level of this world, it should be a matter of time and investment.
In addition, Chen Mo also started to connect the PC, mobile, and handheld terminals of the Thunder game platform, and he could connect any of the above devices through the handle to play handheld games as much as possible.
…
The fifth elective course taught by Chen Mo during his lifetime.
After the second class, Chen Mo stopped talking about handhelds, but began to look forward to the future development trends of the three major platforms of mobile phones, pc and vr according to the serious plan.
In addition, Chen Mo also briefly talked about the possible development status of vr games in the future.
"With the help of super artificial intelligence, the entire game world may become a highly unified game system. At that time, even the designer can only guess the details of the game's operating rules."
"This makes the whole game world closer to the real world, and everyone has the possibility to make history in the game."
Today is the fifth class. After Chen Mo finished the content of this class, there is still half an hour left in the whole class.
The classmates and teachers were a little surprised that Chen Mo could also miscalculate the time
Some novice lecturers often miscalculate the time. Sometimes they speak too fast and the class is not over yet, but they have finished all the prepared content. At this time, they can only chat with their classmates awkwardly.
Chen Mo spoke well before, why did he speak too fast today
However, many students became excited instead. Does this mean that they can communicate directly with Chen Mo? Can I ask Chen Mo some questions
As a result, when they racked their brains to think about what questions to ask Chen Mo, they saw that Chen Mo took out a box from his bag as if he had been prepared for a long time.
"In the next time, I want to demonstrate this brand new handheld device to everyone." Chen Mo said with a smile.
