384 The basic situation of the handheld is finalized
First, touch can be retained to a certain extent.
The experience of some games is completely different after having touch controls.
And touch gaming is also one of the big trends in the future.
In the next few years, there will be a lot of high-quality glass rubbing games, such as Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope, etc.
These games are small and exquisite, and they are also the beginning of the gradual popularization of games. Sooner or later, they have to be played.
And it just so happens that this era has gradually entered the era of capacitive screen technology.
In terms of touch technology, there are roughly two technologies: resistive screen and capacitive screen.
Smartphones in later generations basically only have capacitive touch screens, because this screen has many advantages that resistive screens cannot match. However, the price of this technology is not very low at the moment. Forcing this technology will increase the cost.
But the cost of canceling a secondary screen can just be used on this.
Others have no objections to this. Not to mention Takeyusei, even Tsukino Aya has some good touch game ideas, but her idea is just a simple click and touch game, and she has no deeper game ideas.
Bamboo Youxing provided them with an inspiration, that is, a brain game that is both educational and entertaining. This thing also achieved sales of over 10 million in its previous life. It is hard to imagine that the production of brain games really does not count.
How can something that is too difficult have millions of sales?
This is actually a bonus from a wider range of users besides gamers.
Compared to the current one or two billion game console users, of which only one or two million are experienced players, the entire world now has a population of more than seven billion.
Whether brain games are really useful is not mentioned for now, but wanting to improve one's memory ability and one's own intelligence is a general consensus among the world's population. Perhaps Nintendo grasped this pain point and allowed more non-players to become
for Nintendo users.
Several people in the conference room also thought the brain game was a good idea, so the touch function was retained.
Next is the screen.
Screen size is a very important thing.
The current GBA size is 2.9 inches. Nowadays players are used to this size of screen and don't think it's inappropriate.
But large screens are definitely the future trend.
However, the larger the screen, the higher the cost, which is something that needs to be considered.
Zhuyouxing is temporarily planning to set the size at 4.3 inches for the PSP.
A 4.3-inch screen with a capacitive touch screen is now just the right size for players. The new handheld console will also give them the feeling of truly entering a new next era.
Gu Xi
Everyone roughly imagined it, and suddenly felt that the feeling of having a screen of this size in front of them must be quite shocking, and there was a trace of expectation in their hearts.
Several game development team leaders who participated in the meeting have even begun to plan whether to start preparing a development plan for a new handheld game now.
As long as the engineering development department provides an engineering prototype, they dare to start developing games directly.
Zhu Youxing acted relatively calmly. After all, he had already experienced better handheld game consoles and games with better graphics and better graphics. Now it was just a copy of the memory in his brain.
In the eyes of everyone, this is a very stable performance, and one is not shocked by honor or disgrace.
At this time, a person in charge of the engineering development department raised his hand: "President, I suddenly remembered something. If you want to develop such a game console, the power consumption will be terrible... We may not be able to
It only uses two AA batteries to maintain an average of ten hours of battery life for the game console."
Zhu Youxing nodded and said: "I know this. There is no other way. It is also an inevitable choice to compromise for the next era."
Unfortunately, there is also no breakthrough in battery technology in this world, and there is nothing that Bamboo Star can do.
He is not someone who specializes in batteries, nor does he understand the technical details.
"President, if we continue to use AA batteries as the energy source for the handheld console, I feel that the battery capacity must be at least increased to four or more. Otherwise, with only two batteries, I'm afraid it won't last for two hours."
There is a term for battery energy density. AA batteries, that is, AA batteries, are standard energy products and have a wide range of uses. However, the energy density is incomparable with professionally manufactured new lithium battery technology. This is the AA battery.
Injury.
If this new handheld console continues to use AA batteries, the thickness will definitely be very impressive, so Zhuyouxing has already decided that the new handheld console will no longer use AA batteries.
Zhu Youxing shook his head: "We can no longer use AA batteries. This time we also use the latest battery technology to develop a battery specifically for the new handheld console. Of course, I envision this new battery to be removable and replaceable. Battery accessories
And battery charging sets can also be sold as extras, which can be regarded as additional revenue generation, slightly making up for the cost of game consoles."
Using the latest battery technology, if the battery capacity is sufficient, it is not a big problem for players to play for about five hours on average.
In fact, he has always been fond of removable batteries. The design of later non-removable batteries has indeed made electronic devices more concise and beautiful, and can also enhance some waterproofing and other effects, but the things that have been sacrificed are also very important to Zhuyouxing.
Regrettably.
It is not difficult to introduce new battery technology. This can only be regarded as a small part of the cost. The real big part is the processor, motherboard and screen.
These have basically been finalized now, so there is only one thing left in the end, which is to determine the manufacturer of the processor.
The two finally selected have their own strengths, but we can discuss the two selected manufacturers in detail and hold an internal bidding meeting to see the sincerity of the other party.
As for this time, the choice can be directly left to the people in the engineering development department. They are the front line of development and know best what is most suitable for their development. Zhuyouxing only needs to give the general direction.
Oh, by the way, finally, there is also the naming of the new game console. This Zhuyouxing does not intend to make the decision on its own, but will also let the employees use their imagination to come up with a great enough game console as much as possible.
Name, if the name of the handheld device proposed by whoever is finally selected, then this employee can also get a special reward, which is a kind of motivation method. It also makes employees feel more involved and can better integrate into the company.
