Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Hearing Yang Xin's words, Chen Xu was slightly stunned, feeling a little strange.

"Why are you suddenly talking about handheld devices?"

"In terms of perspective, handheld consoles are a very potential market, and unlike PCs and VR with mobile phones, handheld consoles are a more balanced point among the three."

"Before the emergence of VR devices, some people said that VR games might eliminate PC games, but in fact this is completely wrong."

"The same goes for handheld consoles."

Chen Xu thought for a while, looked at Yang Xin and said his opinion.

"Mr. Chen, I feel that handheld consoles are completely outdated, and Shenyu, the largest handheld console brand in the country, is about to go bankrupt."

A player nearby who overheard the chat between Yang Xin and Chen Xu said

"Yes, it’s a pity that Shenyou went bankrupt. I still have several of their handheld consoles at home."Yang Xin also said with some emotion.

The reason why I asked Chen Xu was mainly because Yang Xin himself was quite fond of handheld devices.

When I was a child, I couldn't play with computers at home, and there was no VR equipment. I also strictly controlled the use of mobile phones. The phone card has no data.

The only way to enjoy gaming is with a small handheld console

"There is no way, it cannot keep up with the development and changes of the times667. Nowadays, the hardware configuration of mobile phones is so high that handheld consoles are no longer competitive."

"But I actually quite like handheld consoles, because the experience brought by the rocker buttons is incomparable to rubbing glass on a mobile phone."

"There's nothing you can do about it, handheld consoles are still outdated after all."

"Hey, I don’t know if the handheld device can be saved again."

The players around me expressed emotion.

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe you will be able to play Fengyun Games on a handheld console in the future."Chen Xu smiled and said

"Mr. Chen, do you want to make a handheld console?"Hearing Chen Xu's words, Yang Xin widened his eyes and expressed that he was shocked.

Other players next to him also felt the same way.

"I originally had some ideas, and my words are not false. There is indeed a huge market for handheld consoles."Chen Xu said with a smile.

When everyone was chatting just now, Chen Xu also searched on his mobile phone. They were talking about fugue and handheld games in this world.

Chen Xu almost had some understanding of this industry.

In Chen Xu's view, these handheld console brands are on the wrong track.

They have narrowed their own paths.

How should I put it?

The price of a handheld console in this world is as high as 3,499 yuan.

The main reason is, That is these handheld consoles, all kinds of materials are piled up in pursuit of hardware.

Speaking of which, this time the bankruptcy of this handheld console called Shenyou is also related to their Fengyun Games.

Because they want to make the handheld console capable of running games with specifications such as"GTA".

Then the cost of the last part of the machine was so high that it naturally ruined the game.

In Chen Xu’s opinion, this was completely wrong.

For handheld machines, the game is the most important, and the hardware is only an auxiliary.

If you want to let The handheld console can run"GTA", and the cost can be said to be terrifyingly high.

And even if the resolution of"GTA" is compressed, it is probably impossible to do it.

After all, the size of the game is here.

Think about Microsoft and Sony in the previous life , Nintendo is divided into three parts of the world. In terms of hardware configuration, Softsoft is the strongest.

But it has the lowest sales volume.

Why is this?

Mainly because of the games.

On the Sony platform, there are The Last of Us, Uncharted, and Bloodborne. , God of War and other exclusive masterpieces. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But there are very few Ruanruan, and the only ones that can be used are Halo, War Machine and Horizon.

As for Lao Ren If so, it goes without saying that the king of exclusives is swi(cifh)tch’s Mario Odyssey, Carriage, Horsemanship, Super Smash Bros., Splatoon, Pokémon series, and the world’s number one Legend of Zelda, every series They are all tens of millions of games.

Of course, games are one aspect, and more importantly, Lao Ren’s design concept for the switch handheld machine.

That is sharing, and party attributes.

Coupled with the unique portability of switch, it will The social attribute has been taken to the extreme. Even in China, where the sales of consoles were weak in the previous life, the sales volume of the Switch has reached nearly 2 million in a year, which is a very scary figure. And the most important point is that there are not many Switch games that have been reviewed.

, that is, the switch has identified such a vacant market, coupled with the exclusive games of any series.

This has created the glory of the switch, which can be said to be indispensable.

Without the games, the switch is a slightly more eye-catching machine.

But without it Switch is a pioneering innovation for handheld consoles. These exclusive games alone cannot create much heights.

Not to mention that many of these games are made just to adapt and display a function of switch.

So in Chen Xu’s opinion , the market for handheld consoles is still huge.

Smartphones can play games, but after all, they are still mobile phones, not game consoles.

Another point is that according to Chen Xu, switch is more than just a handheld console.

In other words, it can even become a brand new Fengyun game platform.

Using the switch Fengyun game platform, it may be able to open up a new channel.

This is very beneficial to the strategic development of the entire Fengyun game.

The sales volume of Switch balls in the previous generation alone was as high as 70 million units.

This is a very scary thing.

Of course, it was created with the blessing of the old Ren brand, as well as IP games such as Pokémon, Mario, and Zelda that have been developed for decades, and it is difficult to completely copy.

But even so, even one tenth.

That's a pretty scary number too.

"Okay, you guys chat, I still have some work to deal with here."

Chen Xu looked at everyone and smiled, and then walked upstairs.

Only a group of players were left looking at each other.

Everyone had only one thought, is Mr. Chen really going to make a handheld console?.
