Chapter 385 Finalizing the basic situation of the handheld

First, touch can be preserved to a certain extent.

After some games have touch, the experience is completely different.

And touch games are also one of the big trends in the future.

There will be a lot of quality glass-rubbing games in the next few years, such as Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope and so on.

These games are small and delicate, and they are also the beginning of the gradual popularization of games. Sooner or later, they will have to do it.

And just now this era has gradually entered the era of capacitive screen technology.

In terms of touch technology, there are generally two technologies of resistive screen and capacitive screen.

Smartphones of 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 low at present. Forcing this technology will lead to some increase in cost. But it is also just enough to use the cost of canceling a secondary screen for this.

Others have no objection to this, not to mention Zhu Youxing, even Tsukino Aya has some good touch game ideas, but her idea is just a simple click and touch game, and there are no deeper game ideas.

Zhuyouxing provided them with an inspiration, that is, a brain game that entertains and educates. This thing also created a sales myth of over ten million in the previous life. It is hard to imagine that the production of brain games is really not counted. How can something that is too difficult have tens of millions of sales.

This is actually a dividend for a wider range of users other than gamers.

Compared with the current 2000-70 million game console users, and the [-] million experienced players, the entire world now has a population of more than [-] billion.

Whether or not brain games are really useful will not be mentioned for the time being, but it is the general consensus of the world's population to improve their memory ability and their own intelligence. Perhaps Nintendo has seized this pain point and made more non-player people become Nintendo users.

The brain game also made a few people in the conference room feel very good, so the touch function was left.

Next is the screen.

Screen size is a very important thing.

The size of the current GBA is 2.9 inches, and the current players are used to this size screen, and they don't think it's wrong.

But the big screen is bound to be the future trend.

It's just that the larger the screen, the higher the cost, which is also something to consider.

Bamboo Star is tentatively preparing to set the size at 4.3 inches for the PSP.

A 4.3-inch screen with a capacitive touch screen is now a good size for players, and the new handheld will also give them the feeling of truly entering a new era.

Everyone roughly imagined it, and suddenly felt that the feeling of 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 the development plan for the new handheld game now.

As long as the engineering development department gives an engineering prototype, they dare to start developing games directly.

Zhu Youxing was relatively calm. After all, he had already experienced better game consoles and games with cooler graphics and better graphics. Now he was just engraving the memories in his brain.

This is a very stable performance in the eyes of everyone, and is not shocked by honor or shame.

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 may be terrible... We may not be able to Just use two AA batteries to keep the game console for an average of ten hours of battery life."

Zhu Youxing nodded and said, "I know this, but this is impossible, and it is also an inevitable choice for compromise for the next era."

Unfortunately, there is also no breakthrough in battery technology in this world, and this Zhuyouxing has nothing to do.

He is not someone who specializes in batteries, let alone the technical details.

"President, if we continue to use AA batteries as the power source of the handheld, I feel that the capacity of the batteries must be increased to at least four. Otherwise, only two batteries may not last for two hours."

Batteries have a kind of energy density. AA batteries, that is, AA batteries, are standard energy products with a wide range of applications, but the energy density is incomparable with the professionally manufactured new lithium battery technology. Flawed.

If this new handheld will continue to use the AA battery, this thickness must be very touching, so Zhu Yuxing has already decided that the new handheld will no longer use the AA battery.

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "We can no longer use AA batteries. This time we also use the latest battery technology to develop a new handheld battery. Of course, I imagine that this new battery can also be disassembled and replaced. Battery accessories The kits and battery charging kits can also be sold as extras, which can be regarded as extra income, and can slightly make up for the cost of the game console.”

Using the latest battery technology, if the battery capacity is sufficient, it is not a big problem to let players play for about five hours on average.

In fact, he has always had a soft spot for removable batteries. The design of non-removable batteries in later generations has indeed made electronic devices more concise and beautiful, and can also enhance some effects such as waterproofing, but the sacrifice is also very much. Regrettably.

It is not difficult to introduce new battery technology, which can only be regarded as the small head in the cost at most. The real big head is the processor and the motherboard plus the screen.

These are basically finalized now, so in the end there is only one thing left, to determine the manufacturer of the processor.

In the end, the two selected manufacturers have their own strengths, but it is possible to discuss the two selected manufacturers in detail and hold another internal bidding meeting to see the sincerity of the other party.

As for this time, it can be directly handed over to the people in the engineering development department to choose. They are the front line of development, and they know best what is best for them to develop. Zhu Yuxing only needs to give the general direction.

Oh, by the way, there is also the naming of the new game console. This Zhuyouxing does not plan to decide on his own, but also allows the employees to use their imaginations and give a good enough game console as much as possible. Name, if the handheld name proposed by the person is finally selected, then the employee can also get a special reward, which is a kind of incentive method, and it also makes the employees feel more involved and can better integrate into the company. .
