Half an hour has passed since the question-and-answer session, but the enthusiasm of the reporters has not diminished at all. They have too many questions to ask Li Huagui.

"President Li, how much does the handheld version of Need for Speed ​​cost? How much does the arcade version cost?"

Logically speaking, game developers do not care about the cost of arcade machines, but the Han Dynasty is an exception. The price is unified globally. In Liu Zhiyuan's plan, arcade halls are the clubs of the future. There cannot be any surprises. In order to prevent arbitrary prices from causing arcade machines to

The arcade couldn't survive, so he just unified the price of each game. Don't you agree? Are you crazy? Can't you see how popular these arcade machines are? You don't even make any money?

Liu Zhiyuan was very clear about the chaotic wars in Internet cafes in later generations. For every dollar spent, you would get another yuan, and in some cases, for every dollar you spent, you would get two yuan. This was completely unhealthy and malicious competition, and the final result was that a large number of Internet cafes closed down.

He can guarantee that if he does not limit the price, these arcades will definitely cause chaos, and it will be more chaotic than the Internet cafes in the future. You know, they can get huge rewards from the Han Dynasty, but those Internet cafes do not.

They are definitely capable of losing money to attract players and attract experts.

He paid for the healthy development of these arcades and for them to develop into game clubs, not for them to suck the blood of the Han Dynasty. He was never afraid of others making money from him. The key is that this money

What comes out must be meaningful.

"The handheld version of Need for Speed ​​is priced at $50, and the arcade version is priced at 5 cents per play."

Is it cheap? Not cheap anymore. Pocket Monsters only costs 50 US dollars. You must know that it is a game with hundreds of millions of players. Need for Speed ​​game fans will definitely exceed tens of millions, but hundreds of millions? The entire gaming industry has hundreds of millions of players.

The game only has Pokemon and Super Mario. Although its sales volume has exceeded 100 million, sales volume of over 100 million does not mean that there are over 100 million players.

The arcade version is also not cheap. DDR and one person cost 3 cents each time. This is already the most expensive game in the arcade. Most games only cost 1 cent or even less.

"President Li, don't you think the price is too high? Forget it, the arcade version is worth 5 cents, but the black and white handheld console and Need for Speed's graphics can hardly achieve half the effect of the promotional video. I don't think it's worth 50 cents.

Dollar."

Li Huagui smiled confidently.

"When the Elf II comes out, will you think it's worth the $50? Next question."

He is far less confident than he appears on the surface. In fact, he is even lower than those reporters. He is no longer the novice he was. He knows the value of the game very well. It is 50 US dollars. The publicity of Need for Speed ​​is very good, plus the speed and

With the bonus of a passionate movie, it will indeed be eye-catching.

However, it is common in the gaming industry to have good reviews but not good reviews. Need for Speed ​​is a limited game. People who love it will go crazy for it, but people who don’t love it will really regard it as nothing. In his heart, Need for Speed ​​is a limited game.

The market for speed cars will not be stronger than the $40 Elves Battle.

As for the concept drawings and parameters of Gremlins 2 designed by Liu Zhiyuan, even if it is realized, he does not believe that Gremlins 2 can boost the sales of Need for Speed. Although the shape really surprised him, the GBA is already perfect enough.

But I didn’t expect that the second generation of Gremlins is even more outstanding. Is it still a handheld console? It shouldn’t be a product of this era at all.

"President Li, is the second generation of Gremlins specially built for Need for Speed?"

This reporter asked everyone's doubts. Why is Li Huagui so confident that Gremlins 2 can make Need for Speed ​​worth $50? Unless Gremlins 2 is the exclusive handheld console for Need for Speed.

"It's not...but, Gremlins 2 has created exclusive equipment for Need for Speed."

Having said this, Li Huagui said to the staff below.

"Bring it up."

Two staff members each came up holding a tray covered with red cloth.

"Look, everyone, this is an external device tailor-made for Need for Speed."

The first red cloth was lifted by Li Huagui, and a black steering wheel stayed quietly on the tray.

The reporters were all stunned, this... what is this? Are you using this thing to control a handheld console? How is that possible!

"After the cable here is connected to the Elf II, everyone can use this steering wheel to control the direction of the car in the game. This is a fixed place, coffee table, desk, anywhere that can only be fixed with a few screws. Then

You can play the game just like driving a car normally.”

Li Huagui pointed to several buttons on the steering wheel and introduced them.

"This is the gear shift, this is the horn, this is..."

After introducing the steering wheel, the entire press conference was completely silent.

"This is a throttle and brake set. In the same way, they can also be fixed on tables and chairs, like this..."

With that said, Li Huagui and two employees built this extremely simple set of peripherals. Facing Li Huagui's direction is the ordinary desk with the steering wheel, and the left and right table legs below are fixed with brakes and accelerators.

"We only need to put the stand of the Pokémon II on the table, and then connect the data cable, and then this set of Need for Speed ​​peripherals can be used. It is very simple and almost no difficulty, because the Pokémon does not have an interface, so

I won’t show you how to connect it. There will be detailed tutorials after the second generation of Elf is released.”

All the reporters were going crazy. There are game peripherals, but they have never been like this. Most of the peripherals of other brands are to enhance the performance of the host, but Han Dynasty is actually for playing a certain game.

"How much does it cost? President Li, how much does this set of peripherals cost?"

"That's right, how much!"

"..."

There was no order at the press conference again. This set of peripherals, which were completely toy-level in later generations, can arouse everyone's crazy pursuit in this era. This set of peripherals is really too simple. The steering wheel and the accelerator are all

The furnishings are just cosmetics, they do not have the real function of peripherals at all.

The steering principle of the steering wheel is just a few lines of calling code. Turning to the left is equivalent to pressing the left direction key, and turning to the right is the right direction key. Going back is more troublesome, but it is not that complicated. It is easier to call the code and brake the accelerator.

, just press it to call the corresponding handheld button.

It can be said that this set of equipment is not as good as the children's toys that cost hundreds of dollars in later generations. It is just a bluff. It basically has no functions that the peripheral should really have. It is not as good as the duck-shooting gun developed by Nintendo in 1984.

The technology content is high, at least that gun also uses a lot of technology.

But this is enough. The Han Dynasty is not incapable of developing better racing peripherals, but it is meaningless. The quality of the Pokemon II is not good. No matter how good the peripherals are, the picture is like that and it is of no use. If you want the ultimate experience

, go to the arcade.

"No money, just buy the handheld Need for Speed ​​game cartridge and get a set of peripherals for free."

There is almost no cost, just a few wires and a bunch of plastic don't cost much at all. In terms of software, Chen Guoqiang completed it in less than an hour.

It’s not that you can’t make money from this, but if it’s free, the sales of Need for Speed ​​will increase rapidly. Liu Zhiyuan is worried about which one is more important, because if players spend money to buy it, it is likely to cause the reputation of Need for Speed ​​and even the Han Dynasty to decline.
