Chapter 510: A plan to integrate mobile phone and handphone

Zhou Jiangping said,”well, the problem is that there may be some minor flaws. It needs to be continuously optimized. It can be done.”

“You can’t guarantee performance?” Chen Zhao asked.”What do you mean?”

“There might be a lot of problems,” Zhou Jiangping explained.”Including controller connection, game optimization, and so on. There’s also a bigger problem in the acceptance of the players.”

Chen Mo nodded,”it’s okay, I’m mentally prepared for this.” Anyway, can you write a feasibility report and analyze this plan in detail?”

“Of course, I’ll arrange for someone to do it immediately,” Zhou Jiangping replied.

Chen Mo’s follow-up plan was to combine the phone and the handphone.

In the future, Chen Mo suggested connecting the two handles of the Switch to the players ‘phones through Bluetooth or other means, so that the players could play the games on the Switch on the phone.

However, Chen Mo’s first choice wasn’t to use this plan, but to redo Switch. This was because the plan wasn’t mature yet, and he needed to use Switch to pave the way.

Just like what Zhou Jiangping had said, with the current level of technology in the parallel world, it was possible to do it, but it would create problems that would affect the gaming experience of the players.

The first problem was the size of the screen. The Switch’s screen was the limit for a portable handheld device, but even so, it could barely display the game with the smallest screen.

Games like “Odyssey” and “the legend of celda” would feel very comfortable on TV, and it would be okay on the Switch. It wouldn’t be depressing, but if it were on the phone, the screen would suddenly be a few times smaller, and it would definitely feel particularly sullen. It would even be difficult to read some words.

After all, mobile phones had to be designed with portability in mind. Although there were many mobile phones with super large screens, most people preferred mobile phones that could be held in one hand.

......

With the screen so much smaller, it would definitely affect the experience.

The second problem was the phone’s capacity, compatibility, heat dissipation, and so on. Although the cell phone capacity in this world was very large, mobile phones at the same price range were definitely not as good as the Switch in terms of playing games because the Switch was a special game console.

The third problem was the compatibility of the phone and the game controller. It wasn’t that they couldn’t fit, but he had to develop the game controller first. One could only experience the true fun of the game by playing it with two controllers. It was impossible to play the game with a touch screen and a virtual joystick.

In the parallel world, the main trouble in the development of the Switch was the two joysticks, and the screen was nothing more than a large mobile phone.

The Switch prototype was now ready. Chen Mo could consider connecting the controller to his phone.

Other than that, Chen Zhao had other plans.

Of course, Chen Mo didn’t think that a brand new handheld game and a brand new game would make most players pay for it. After all, this world didn’t have the same spending habits as his previous world. For many people, the Switch was a new thing, and they would just wait and see.

Therefore, in order to help the players make up their minds, Chen Mo introduced a variety of marketing strategies in a friendly manner.

First, he had to make sure that the game controller could be connected to the phone. The game controller was sold separately for about 500 yuan.

Second, Switch would run on Thunderbolt gaming platform by default, encouraging all independent game designers on Thunderbolt gaming platform to make their games support Switch.

Wasn’t it just to expand the game library? That’s easy, I have a bunch of indie games on hand, I’ll add all the points I can.

Since Chen Mo wasn’t making it himself, he could just let the other designers make some changes. Some games were simpler and couldn’t fully utilize the features of the Switch, but that didn’t matter. He could just sell it at a cheaper price and get more discounts.

Moreover, based on the performance of the magically modified Switch in the parallel world, it could fully support most of the standalone games on the market that were suitable for mobile and PC.

At the same time, the handheld console would automatically connect to Thunderbolt gaming platform, and the games on it could be purchased and downloaded.

The price of the handheld console was about 2000 Yuan. This price was actually not high, because just the two controllers cost 500 yuan. For the players, buying a handheld game console was much more fun than a tablet.

Of course, there would definitely be players who would prefer to play on their phones to save money. That was why Chen Mo also sold the game controller and the connector for the phone to connect to the TV.

However, Chen Mo believed that after playing for a while, many of these players would still want to buy a Switch.

The reason was simple. The screen was large, the battery life was long, the heat dissipation was good, the performance was good, and there was no need to worry about phone or message harassment ...

……

After the first prototype of the Switch came out, Zhou Jiangping and le Hui’s technical staff began to study the solution of connecting the controller to the phone.

Chen Mo specifically told him that it didn’t matter if the plan wasn’t perfect, at least come up with a plan first.

This was a bait for many players who didn’t want to buy a handheld device. It could make them focus their attention. As for whether it was good or not? He could slowly optimize it later.

In any case, the most important thing was to first throw out this concept.

With the technological level of this world, it was only a matter of time and investment.

Apart from that, Chen Mo was also working on Thunderbolt gaming platform’s PC, mobile, and handheld gaming servers, and he was trying to connect the handheld console to any of them.

……

The fifth class of Chen Mo’s first University of Life.

After the second class, Chen Mo didn’t talk about handheld devices anymore. Instead, he started to look at the future development of mobile, PC, and VR.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.

Apart from that, Chen Mo also gave a general overview of the future development of VR games.

“With the help of super artificial intelligence, the entire game world may become a highly unified game system. By then, even the designers can only guess a fraction of the rules of the game.”

“This will make the game world closer to the real world. A slight change will affect the whole, and everyone can create history in the game.”

It was the fifth class today. After Chen Mo finished, there was still half an hour left in the class.

The students and teachers were all surprised. Chen Mo had actually miscalculated the time?

Some new lecturers would often miscalculate the time. Sometimes, if they spoke too fast, the class would not be over, but the prepared content would have been finished. At that time, they could only chat awkwardly with the students.

Chen Mo had been talking so well before, why was he talking so fast today?

However, many of the students were excited. Did this mean that they could communicate directly with Chen Mo? Could he ask Chen Zhao some questions?

But just as they were racking their brains to think of what questions to ask Chen Mo, Chen Mo seemed to have prepared for it as he took out a box from his bag.

“I’d like to demonstrate this new handheld device to everyone.” Chen Mo said with a smile.
