Number One Game Designer

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

Or maybe he was no stranger in the last time and space, but here, looking at the home computer in front of him that looks almost like the final version, Fang Xi can say too much.

On the other side, Satoshi Kimishima is still introducing to Fang Xi their home console, which has been named Change, calling this game console a transition across the ages.

The intention to change can be seen from the name of the machine, and it should also be the first home handheld all-in-one machine. Fang Xi believes that they should have gotten inspiration from the mobile phone. The problem of fragmented time, see Come on, everyone is very concerned...

Over there, Jundao Satoshi is already flattering Fang Xi:

"Fang Jun is the most successful game producer in the world right now, and the game market developed by himself is equivalent to the sum of the past ten years!"

The section chiefs and ministers behind Satoshi Kimishima clapped their hands in unison. The game industry is almost the same, and those who are successful come first. Fang Xi has made achievements that other people are proud of, so they can only look up to him! Dissatisfied? Then you should at least be a chef with similar grades as Fang Xi first, otherwise the evaluation will look very unassuming.

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

"President Kimijima, since we are both here, how about we talk about our cooperation at E3? Although we are two companies, but on the same theme day, I think we still need to have a priority , what do you say?"

Taking a deep look at Fang Xi, who was talking and laughing at Yan Yan, Jun Dao Satoshi was a little bit straight to the point:

"Since President Fang is from the game industry, let's just say it straight."

"It is an indisputable fact that Ren's wiiu has failed. The WiiU era we started five years ago can be said to have ruined the wonderful era opened by Wii. Although the times are improving, Ren's income in the past five years is compared to five years ago. In the wii era, the decline was not a little bit."

Jun Dao Satoshi's confession made Fang Xi raise his eyebrows: a very powerful company. This is Fang Xi's evaluation. A company whose chairman dares to take the initiative to admit mistakes, even if the company is not far behind. Because the centripetal force of the company like this is terrible, this is almost the truth of "generals are not afraid of death, and soldiers are not hesitating their lives".

"So for us, this generation of hosts is a completely changed generation. If you don't succeed, you will die!"

Looking at Satoshi Jundao's aura, Fang Xi nodded, in fact, he could almost spot it by looking at the time. A standard console generation is generally about ten years old. For example, Ren's own successful Wii console was launched in 2004, and the announcement of the end of production was announced in 2013, which is almost ten years. Another example is the old rival Sofa’s PS3, which was sold in 2006 and was not officially discontinued until 2017. However, Ren's wiiu has only been launched for five years, and the development of the new generation of hosts has been completed. If you look back at the time, you will find that Ren's has already started planning the development of the new generation of hosts almost one year after wiiu was launched.

"And we also need someone who is very knowledgeable about games to make a complete evaluation and prediction of our home consoles, and Executive Director Amuro recommended you to me. After research, our board of directors of Ren's believes that President Fang is successful. The reason is not just luck. President Fang has a keen sense of the game market, and his exploration of game styles and gameplay is also unrivaled. Our Ren family is still familiar with President Fang's "Origin of Everything" and "Teleportation" The Door has a very strong interest."

"So, in summary, we hope that President Fang will give us some advice on our new products. In return, we are willing to port "The Origin of Everything" and "Portal" to our handhelds for free, and we will not charge any channel fees. .And the "Origin of Everything" on the handheld will be connected to PC and home console users, and the user information is the same."

This is really... a big deal. Fang Xi was dumbfounded, the foundation of the Ren family was their invincible handheld,

And this business is now the only one in the world, and they have an absolute monopoly in the field of handhelds, so third-party games rarely land on handhelds. It is inappropriate on the one hand, and on the other hand, the payment and return are not directly proportional, the channel fee is high, and the porting method is troublesome, and the game cannot get rid of the attribute of commodity, as long as it has the attribute of commodity, it cannot escape the cost and return. In this circle, when the return is obviously less than the cost, a fool will invest money in it.

But now, Ren's meaning seems to be to be a fool to give Fang Xi a profit?

"Of course, the premise is that it can prove that President Fang's suggestions are really useful to us, and the condition for judgment is the questionnaire survey three months after the release of Change."

Fang Xi had nothing to do with it, and stepped forward to touch the trial machine:

"Then I just took this away?"

...

In the hotel that Ren's decided for Fang Xi, Fang Xi was trying out the machine that wrote Change and pronounced NS. The familiar plastic feeling, Fang Xi curled his lips, this was expected for a long time.

In order to seize the low-end market, Ren's reduced the cost of the machine, which actually caused a lot of problems, and now he can write to Satoshi Jundao, and it's none of Fang Xi's business whether he changes it or not.

At the same time, there has always been a problem with the joystick, but Fang Xi thinks that this should be because Ren can't change it himself, so he can only drag it, and write this down.

As for other miscellaneous small problems, Fang Xi just mentioned them casually, such as battery life and heat deformation, might Ren's not know about them? Of course I know, but if we want to change it, we will return to the cost issue.

Fang Xi shook his head, cost and quality can't have both.

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

First: Expand the proportion of the screen and remove the borders of the screen.

This change has actually been achieved technically long ago, but many people have never imagined how much user experience can be improved by removing a frame, so it has been dragging on without evolution, and this time, Mr. Fang is going to push the world once.

Second: Machine classification.

Fang Xi has always thought that this generation of consoles is a good idea, saying that it is true 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 For a better experience, and in this regard, Taobao in the last time and space actually did a good job.

College students come to set meal A, social people come to set meal B, if you are a rich second generation or something, please take set meal C, what? Do you want to start a company? Nine Emperor Supreme VIP Diamond Package Arrangement!

It is very simple to provide multiple versions, and you can use whichever version you can use, so there will not be so many troubles.

Even now, Fang Xi thinks that Ren's home computer can be further compressed: For example, if the handle is fixed as I have seen, the cost can be reduced a lot. What if I want to plug it into the TV to play? Please purchase an additional handle.

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

Putting aside the proposal he was going to give Satoshi Kimishima, Fang Xi is looking forward to this year's E3, and he should really see a fight between dragons and tigers.
