Number One Game Designer

Chapter 274: Fang Xi

Fang Xi is no stranger to Ren's new machine.

Or maybe he was no stranger in the last time and space, and here, looking at the home machine that was almost like the final version before his eyes, Fang Xi could say too much.

On the other side, Satoshi Junshima is still introducing Fang Xi to their home console, which has been named Change, calling this game console a cross-epoch transition.

This intention of change can be seen from the naming of the machine, and it should also be the first home handheld all-in-one machine. Fang Xi believes that they should be inspired by the mobile phone. See the issue of fragmentation time. Everyone cares a lot...

Over there, Satoshi Junshima was already slapping Fang Xi:

"Fang Jun is now the most successful game producer in the world, and the game market opened up by one person is equivalent to the sum of the past ten years!"

The section chiefs and ministers behind Satoshi Junshima clapped their hands neatly. The game industry is almost like this, and the winner is first. Fang Xi has made achievements that make others proud, so they can only look up! Dissatisfied? Then you should at least be a chef with a grade similar to Fang Xi's, or else the evaluation will appear very unassuming.

To these Fang Xi stretched out his hand and made a stop:

"President Kimishima, since we are both here, we might as well talk about our E3 cooperation? Although we are two companies, but on the same theme day, I think we still need to have a primary and secondary , What do you say?"

Taking a deep look at Fang Xi who laughed at Yan Yan, Jundao Satoshi was a little straight to the subject:

"Since President Fang is a member of the game industry, then we will simply say it."

"The failure of Ren's Wiiu is an indisputable fact. The WiiU era that we opened five years ago can be said to bury the beautiful era that Wii opened. Although the times are progressing, Ren's income over the past five years is compared with that of five years ago. The Wii era has declined instead of just a little bit."

Jundao Satoshi's confession made Fang Xi raise his eyebrows: a very powerful company. This is Fang Xi's evaluation. A company whose chairman dared to proactively admit that it was wrong could not go far away even if it was almost the same. Because the centripetal force of the company in this way is terrible, "will not be afraid of death, and the soldiers will not hesitate" is almost the truth.

"So for us, this generation of hosts is a radically changed generation. If you fail, you will become benevolent!"

Looking at Junjima Satoshi's momentum, Fang Xi nodded, in fact, you can almost find it by looking at the time. A standard console generation is generally about ten years. For example, Ren's own successful generation of Wii consoles went on the market in 2004, and the announcement of the end of production was published in 2013, almost ten years. Another example is the PS3 sales date of the old rival Sofa. It started to sell in 2006 and was officially discontinued in 2017. And here, Ren's wiiu has only launched a five-year event and the new generation host has been developed. When you push back, you will find that Ren's has already begun planning the development of a new generation of host almost a year after Wiiu went on the market.

"And we also need a person who understands games very well to make a complete evaluation and prediction of our home machine, and Mr. Amuro recommended you to me. After research, our board of directors thinks that President Fang is successful. The reason is not just luck. President Fang has a keen sense of the game market, and no one can match the game style and gameplay. Our Ren family is still very familiar with President Fang’s "Origin of Everything" and "Transportation". "Gate" has a very strong interest."

"So, to sum up, we hope that President Fang will give us any advice on our new products. In return, we are willing to transplant "The Origin of All Things" and "Portal Gate" to our handhelds for free, and do not charge any channel fees. . And the handheld "Origin of Everything" will connect with PC and console users, and the user profile will be the same."

This is really... generous. Fang Xi was stunned. The foundation of Ren’s standing is their invincible handheld, and this business is now the only one in the world. Their handhelds are absolutely monopolistic in this field, so third-party games rarely land on the palm. machine. Inappropriateness is on the one hand, on the other hand, pay and return are not directly proportional, channel fees are high, transplantation is troublesome, and the game can’t get rid of the commodity attribute, as long as there is a commodity attribute, the cost and return cannot be jumped out. In this circle, when the return is significantly less than the cost, the fool will invest money in it.

And now, Ren's intention seems to be a fool to give Fang Xi a profit?

"Of course, the premise is to prove that the suggestions made by President Fang are indeed useful to us, and the condition for determination is the questionnaire survey three months after the release of Change."

Fang Xi couldn't help but touched the trial machine:

"Then I just took this away?"

...

In Ren's hotel for Fang Xi, Fang Xi was trying out this machine written in Change and pronounced NS. The familiar feeling of plastic, Fang Xi pouted. This was long expected.

In order to seize the low-end market, Ren reduced the cost of the machine, which actually caused a lot of problems. Now he can write it to Satoshi Junshima. As for whether he changes it or not, Fangxi's matter is not the matter.

At the same time, the joystick has always been problematic, but Fang Xi thinks that this should be because Ren himself can't change it, so he can only drag it, and this is also noted.

As for the other miscellaneous small issues, Fang Xi just mentioned it casually, such as battery life and thermal distortion, maybe they don’t know that Ren's problems are caused? Of course you know, and if you want to change it, you will come back to the cost issue.

Fang Xi shook his head. Cost and quality cannot have both.

In the end, Fang Xi gave two suggestions on the hardware of the machine:

First: Enlarge the proportion of the screen and remove the border of the screen.

This change can actually be achieved technically a long time ago, but many people did not expect how much user experience can be improved by removing a frame, so they have been dragging on without evolution, and this time, Fang always has to push the world once.

Second: the machine is divided into files.

Fang Xi has always felt that this generation of consoles is a very good idea. It is correct to say that it is to blur the boundary between consoles and handhelds. Controlling costs is a good way to reduce prices, but some people hope to spend more money to get it. Better experience, and at this point, Taobao in the last time and space actually did a good job.

College students come with a package A, the public come with a package B, if it is a rich second generation or something, please go with package C, what? Are you trying to force a company to start a company? Nine Emperor Gods VIP Diamond Package Arrangement!

It is very simple to provide multiple versions, and you can use which version you can use, so there won't be so many things.

Even now Fang Xi, Ren's home machine, thinks that he can compress it again: For example, I have seen the handle fixed, so that the cost can be reduced a lot, if you want to plug in the TV to play? Please purchase another additional handle.

As for the value or not, let the players choose for themselves.

Putting aside the proposal to Satoshi Junshima, Fang Xi is looking forward to this year's E3, and should really see a battle between dragons and tigers.
