Chapter 385 Finalizing the basic situation of the handheld

First of all, 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 major trends in the future.

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

These games are small and exquisite, and they are also the beginning of the gradual popularization of games. Sooner or later, they will be played.

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.

The smart phones of later generations basically only have capacitive touch screens, because this screen has many advantages that resistive screens cannot compare to. However, the price of this technology is not low at present. Forcing this technology will increase the cost. But it just happens that the cost of canceling a secondary screen can be used on it.

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 bonus for a wider range of users than gamers.

Compared with the current 100-200 million game console users, and the 100-200 million experienced players, the entire world now has a population of more than 7 billion.

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

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

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 must be the future trend.

It's just that the bigger the screen, the higher the cost, which is something that needs to be considered.

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 just the right size for players, and the new handheld will also give them the feeling of entering a new era.

Everyone roughly imagined it, and suddenly felt that the screen of this size must be quite shocking, and there was a trace of anticipation in their hearts.

The heads of several game development teams participating in the meeting have even begun to plan whether to start preparing for the development plan of 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.

In the eyes of everyone, this is a very stable performance, honor or disgrace is not surprising.

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, there is no way around it, and it is an inevitable choice to 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 a person who specializes in batteries, let alone understand 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 continues to use AA batteries, the thickness must be very impressive, so Zhuyouxing has already decided that the new handheld will not 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 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 for players to play for about five hours on average.

In fact, he has always had a soft spot for things like removable batteries. The design of non-removable batteries in later generations does make electronic equipment more concise and beautiful, and can also enhance some effects such as waterproofing, but the things that are sacrificed are also very important for Zhuyouxing. Regrettably.

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

These few have basically been roughly finalized now, so there is only one thing left in the end, which is to determine the manufacturer of the processor.

The two selected in the end have their own strengths, but we can talk about 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 first line of development and know what is most suitable for their development. Zhu Youxing only needs to give the general direction.

Oh, by the way, there is also the naming of the new game console at the end. Zhu Youxing does not intend to decide on his own, but let the employees use their imagination to give a good enough game console as much as possible Name, if the name of the handheld device proposed by anyone is finally selected, then this employee can also get a special reward, which can be regarded as a way of motivation, and it also makes employees feel more involved and can better integrate into the company .
