A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...
Chapter 657 Torture
"A larger screen allows users to control the game more easily."
"Improved screen quality can make the picture more expressive."
"And a better processor can make the game smoother."
"In addition, I believe that you are no strangers to the game "MOBA". This is a type of game that places special emphasis on operation, so Future S2 has adapted the game and made comprehensive adjustments specifically for the touch experience of finger sliding, improving the hand tracking during the game. By increasing the touch IC frequency, the touch response speed is improved."
"In addition, Future S2 will also output the matching strategy for system resources in real time, lower the heat threshold when running low-resource demand games, and reduce performance pressure. When a team battle is started and the picture is complex, the performance is quickly improved, the heat threshold is increased, and the game performance is maximized."
"All of the above are to maximize the user experience."
"In addition, Future S2 also provides some very convenient function settings for games."
"As you can see, no matter what game it is, you can call out the shortcut menu by sliding the upper left or upper right corner of the screen into the screen."
"In this menu, users can quickly reply to WeChat messages or text messages, and can also perform quick screen recording and screenshot operations here."
"I believe everyone has experienced being disturbed in the game, so in this quick menu, users can also choose to answer calls automatically on hands-free, so that the call is automatically connected and free from the trouble of jumping. Or directly set it to do not disturb, so that the game time is completely unaffected."
"..."
On the screen.
After Kang Yi from the mobile game department of Linmu Studio introduced the operation of MOBA mobile games, he began to introduce the running environment of this game on Future S2.
After saying so much, in summary, it is actually to announce to everyone how smooth the MOBA mobile game will run on this phone.
And until then.
Everyone realized.
Linmu Studio and Youmei Technology are tied together, and how outrageous the combination of software and hardware will be.
In fact, when Future S1 was released, many people had this feeling.
But at that time, the Future S1 phone itself was too dazzling.
When this phone was announced, it almost subverted the entire mobile phone industry.
And this makes the newly revealed combination of software and hardware seem less dazzling.
Although the first batch of mobile games were also very popular, and subsequently directly led to the early arrival of the mobile game era.
But at that time, most people attributed it to the awesomeness of Linmu Studio itself, or the awesomeness of Future S1.
But now.
Future S2 was announced, and the MOBA mobile game was unveiled.
Their advantages of combining software and hardware have been maximized, and the two have cooperated to play a set of combined punches, which stunned everyone.
Screen upgrade, increase of high refresh rate, processor upgrade.
These are the biggest updates of mobile phones, and users can experience the benefits of them almost as soon as the mobile phone is released.
And these... Jiaming Alliance can't do it at all.
Because they can't find a game company like Linmu Studio.
Even if they can find a similar game company, the other party does not have the courage of Linmu Studio.
Or to put it bluntly.
Which game company can be like Linmu Studio? When the card-drawing mobile game is popular, it turns around and makes a mobile game specifically for a mobile phone? It's not a card-drawing mobile game, but a MOBA mobile game... Such a game type that no one has ever done, and even most of the peers think it is impossible to do well.
There are too many things involved, and the mobile phone and the game end need to cooperate seamlessly.
Both sides also need to take risks.
Of course, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that Linmu Studio has made a mobile game specifically for Future S2, but at this moment, listening to Kang Yi's introduction, the people of Jiaming Alliance really feel this way...
I believe that users of Future mobile phones also think so.
As for the game colleagues of Linmu Studio.
They also can't make their new games have hardware like Future S2 as soon as they are launched...
Screen upgrade, increase high refresh rate, processor upgrade... At first glance, these upgrades even make people feel that this is specially prepared for MOBA mobile games!
Not to mention the subsequent Future S2 adaptation of the game, which is specially optimized for the touch experience of finger sliding.
Of course, this is not the case. It is impossible for a mobile phone to be upgraded specifically for a game. It's not that exaggerated.
But at this moment, the colleagues of Linmu Studio really feel this way.
And when the players hear this, they probably think so too...
Games and mobile phones are not originally things in the same field.
But Linmu Studio and Youmei Technology have created a feeling of running in both directions, as if the two sides are born to be a pair.
The audience of mobile phones regards the MOBA mobile game "Top" as an extension of the new mobile phone upgrade, a "first-party application" that can fully utilize the new features of Future S2.
Game users regard Future S2 as the best carrier for games, a new machine that can perfectly display the quality of games... and it also comes with all the functions that a mobile phone should have.
The two fields have broadened the audience for each other.
Both the mobile phone audience and the game audience have got what they want and are happy about it. No one is hurt and everyone is happy.
But for colleagues... For Jiaming Alliance, Linmu Studio's game colleagues, and competitors of "Food Takeout" and "Safe Travel".
This press conference is simply torture...
Tianhu.
Mou Feng stood up with a "Fuck" and didn't sit down.
He stood and looked at the live broadcast screen, watching Kang Yi talking freely.
After Kang Yi introduced the control method and the running environment of this game on Future S2, he began to introduce the features of this game.
"Let's talk about the game running environment and operation method. Let's talk about the game itself, "Climb to the Top."
"Although this is a mobile game, we have completely transplanted the sophisticated and complex MOBA terminal game experience to mobile devices, and appropriately lowered the threshold, making it very simple and easy to use. Even for players who have never experienced MOBA games, they can quickly familiarize themselves with the game with the help of sophisticated touch screen controls and automatic positioning systems, and they can also show off wonderful operations!"
"Compared with terminal games, mobile games have a shorter game time. Generally, the game can be finished within 20 minutes. It is not as cumbersome as terminal games. You can take out your mobile phone and play it in fragmented time." "
But the short game time does not mean that players cannot experience the charm of traditional MOBA terminal games in mobile games..."
"..."
Mou Feng listened to Kang Yi's explanation... The more he listened, the more surprised he became.
Although it is a mobile game.
Although the operation method is very different from that of terminal games.
But the sparrow is small but has everything.
Last soldiers, laning, skills, equipment, tower pushing, team battles, map resources, etc.
This mobile game called "Top" has almost everything!
It has basically all the elements.
Even.
It has summoner skills.
It can even flash...
In addition, in MOBA mobile games, there is also the concept of hero positioning, and the design of hero characters is not perfunctory at all.
Although they are all original characters.
But obviously, this is not a difficult task for Linmu Studio, which can make "Day of Reincarnation" with characters as the main selling point.
It can be said that this mobile game almost perfectly retains the essence of MOBA terminal games.
Although there is indeed a big gap between the graphics and expressiveness and the terminal games.
However.
The rise of mobile games has proved how much casual players accept mobile games, which are more convenient and direct than terminal games and can be played anytime and anywhere.
MOBA is not like a card-drawing mobile game like "Day of Reincarnation". Even if Linmu Studio guarantees the maximum benefits for non-paying players... but paying players can still use their money to become stronger if they really want to.
Based on Linmu Studio's previous experience in making terminal MOBA games, MOBA is a game type that they can only sell skins and communication cards at most.
But in the game, no matter how beautiful the player's skin is, as long as the operation is bad, it means that they can't beat others. And those who are good at operation can still win even if they are wearing the original skin.
This kind of game is really too fair, and the threshold for getting started is really too low.
This means that the audience of this game will be wider than that of the card-drawing mobile game...
Mou Feng can't imagine what the game will look like once it is announced. There are nearly 70 heroes online, almost all the essence of MOBA terminal games is absorbed, and it is also wrapped in the wind of Future S2's release. What will it look like once it is announced...
The mobile game market will usher in another whale...
"I'm still laughing at others."
Thinking of this, Mou Feng's knees softened and he sat down again, then collapsed and said: "It's as if Linmu Studio doesn't make games..."
The current situation is.
After Linmu Studio launched the card-drawing mobile game in the mobile game market, it gave another answer.
This answer is very promising, and success can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
It is not known yet what impact this thing will have on the card-drawing game, but it will definitely have.
And neither Tianhu nor other colleagues of Linmu Studio have any countermeasures against this game.
Let's not talk about how much time cost it takes to make such a MOBA mobile game.
Even if it can be made, it is estimated that "Top" has already topped the list...
The most important thing is the platform where this game landed - Future S2!
Future S2 is in the same boat with Linmu Studio...
It's like the referees are all Linmu Studio...
Although Linmu Studio won't be so mean as to suppress its peers.
But they don't need to suppress at all. As long as they give full play to the advantages of the combination of software and hardware, they will be invincible.
For example, just like now, they are faster than other peers, and there is no solution...
"..."
Thinking of this.
Mou Feng looked at the live broadcast room, his shoulders slumped, he sighed, and he became autistic.
At the same time.
The heads of the major members of Jiaming Alliance also became autistic, as well as the competitors of "Fandian Takeaway" and "Safe Travel".
A press conference, three parties became autistic.
In one hour, most of the peers in the three fields sighed.
To some extent.
This is also a miracle...
In sharp contrast to them, are the users and players.
They are not stakeholders.
Everything in this press conference is a huge surprise for them.
Rather than a shock.
The last MOBA mobile game announced, with Kang Yi's explanation, the real-time comments in the live broadcast room have increased visibly.
"So interesting! I've never played a mobile game like this before! I never thought I'd be able to play a game like this on my phone one day!!!"
"It looks great! Mobile games are evolving so fast that they have reached this point now."
"It's not that mobile games are evolving fast, but that Linmu Studio is evolving fast... In the past few years of mobile game development, weren't they number one?"
"MOBA mobile game... I'm also an old player of "Heroes". I can see that Linmu Studio has made a lot of changes to lightweight, but the core gameplay has been retained. I just don't know how it will be played."
"Damn! Linmu Studio is not porting the terminal MOBA... but making a completely new IP! This is really awesome, you will never know how great they are!"
"High refresh rate and big screen are waiting here! I was a little hesitant just now, after all, Future S1 is not unusable, but now... even if it is to experience such a mobile game, I have to buy a new phone!" "
Hahahaha, I actually feel like Linmu Studio designed a mobile phone specifically for the game."
"The press conference was really full of surprises from beginning to end... I won't say more, I have already started refreshing the official website and am ready to place an order at any time!"
"..."
users were discussing in the live broadcast room at the same time.
Kang Yi's explanation also came to an end.
Although the game "Climb to the Top" will be the main mobile game promoted by Linmu Studio in the future.
But this does not mean that Linmu Studio will take the lead.
Just like this mobile game was not announced at the Linmu Carnival.
Linmu Studio still cares about this aspect.
In addition.
Inside Linmu Studio, both Lin Yao himself and other staff members are very confident in the game "Climb to the Top", and it is enough to talk about it here.
"...This is our latest mobile game "Climb to the Top". The heroes gather together because of the space-time hub and want to reach the pinnacle!"
"See you on October 7th."
"Thank you everyone, now the time is returned to Youjie."
Kang Yi clapped his hands and finally said the closing remarks.
The camera pulled out again.
The stage lights came on.
Zhang Youjie stood in the center of the stage, facing the cheers, whistles, and applause, and smiled: "Thank you Kang Yi."
"The above is all the content of this press conference."
"This is the fully evolved Future S2."
"The new Future S2, starting price - 4999 yuan."
"The phone will be officially pre-sold at midnight tomorrow, and the major Future offline stores will start trial on October 1st. The phone will be officially released on October 7th! Users can pre-order online or go directly to Future offline stores to pre-order."
"In addition, after the press conference, the trial area in the adjacent sub-exhibition hall will also be open, and interested audiences can experience it first."
"Thank you everyone."
Zhang Youjie stood in the center of the stage and announced the price, trial time, release time and other information without any delay.
Then, he bowed to the audience.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Cheers that seemed to overturn the roof rang out.
...
Backstage of the venue, in the lounge.
Lin Yao smiled softly when she saw Zhang Youjie leave the stage at the end and the players stood up to cheer and applaud.
She closed the screen, picked up the notebook on her round thigh and put it aside, and stretched her body: "Done!"
Mu Wanqing sat beside her and smiled gently: "It looks successful."
"Of course, you have seen the real-time comments and the reactions of the audience just now."
Lin Yao smiled brightly: "I bet you that the first sentence Uncle Zhang will say when he comes in will be 'We succeeded'. Do you believe it?"
Mu Wanqing opened her mouth, but before she could speak.
The door of the lounge was pushed open.
Zhang Youjie rushed in and said excitedly when he saw Lin Yao: "Xiaoyao! We succeeded!"
Mu Wanqing was slightly stunned, then immediately turned her head and looked at Lin Yao.
Then.
The two of them laughed directly, shaking their bodies.
Zhang Youjie couldn't do this.
He looked confused: "...What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Lin Yao barely stopped laughing: "It is indeed successful. The next step is to sell it. Ensure sufficient supply and do a good job of preventing scalpers."
"Okay!"
Zhang Youjie thought about it and didn't ask any more questions.
After all, the press conference had just ended, and the mood of joy still prevailed.
Compared with this,
everything else was a small matter.
"Then there is nothing else to do."
Lin Yao thought carefully: "Next, we will wait for the official release of Future S2... But since you are here, I will tell you about the next arrangements of Youmei Technology."
"Arrangements?" Zhang Youjie was slightly stunned.
"Just a general idea, while I am happy."
Lin Yao explained with a smile: "I hope you can have a bottom line in your mind. Now Youmei Technology is indeed rising step by step, but there is no eternal kingship... Although this sounds a bit second-year, the operation of Youmei Technology is indeed more complicated. With the development of technology, the advantages of Future mobile phones will soon disappear.
We can't always come up with eye-catching technology, this is inevitable. In this case, new products and ecology have become the top priority."
"...You say."
Zhang Youjie calmed down a little after hearing this.
Lin Yao pointed to the laptop computer next to her and said, "In addition to the normal iteration of existing products, Youmei Technology will develop in two directions. One is computers."
"No matter how good Future PAD is, it can't replace computers, let alone mobile phones. If you want to form a closed loop of ecology, computers are an indispensable part." "
Next, I will let Kaishan Research Institute work hard in the direction of desktop operating systems. It may take a long time, but no matter how slow or hard it is, we have to do it."
Zhang Youjie glanced at the laptop computer next to Lin Yao and nodded slowly.
"And the other direction is smart wearable devices, but there is no rush for this."
Lin Yao thought for a while and smiled, "You can get the computer first and consider it when the technology is mature. I will only give a few directions, watches, bracelets, VR... The last one may not be realistic, but what if it is."
"Watches? Bracelets? VR?" Zhang Youjie was confused.
Lin Yao briefly explained to him the forms of these smart wearable devices and how to form a closed loop of ecology.
Zhang Youjie's eyes lit up after listening to Lin Yao's words.
"In addition, there is another very important point."
Lin Yao continued: "Now the second generation of Future mobile phones has been launched. If this generation of mobile phones is as successful as the first generation, and the high-end impression is formed, we don't have to worry about the supply side, then we have to consider the entry-level mobile phones...
The current Future mobile phones are not cheap for most people, and there are almost no choices. This is also a hidden danger."
Zhang Youjie heard this and immediately said: "I have already considered this."
"That's good."
"Well... that's all."
After Lin Yao made sure that there was nothing missing, she clapped her hands, then stood up and shook her ponytail: "Uncle Zhang, congratulations, your first appearance was a great success!"
"Hahaha."
Zhang Youjie couldn't suppress his inner joy when he heard this, and immediately laughed.
Seeing his expression, Lin Yao also smiled softly, then turned around and stretched out her hand to pull Mu Wanqing up: "That's okay, Uncle Zhang, let's go."
"Okay." Zhang Youjie nodded.
Lin Yao said goodbye to Zhang Youjie, and then took Mu Wanqing out of the lounge.
"Ms. Mu, are you hungry? Let's go for a midnight snack?"
"What do you want to eat?
" "Porridge, or do you want to eat something?
" "I'm afraid of getting fat, I don't want to eat anything...
" "You're still fat? My arms are so long that I can hug you completely from behind."
"I'd be surprised if I can't hug you!"
The two people's conversation came from afar.
After venting his inner joy, Zhang Youjie looked at the slowly closing door, listened to Lin Yao's gradually fading voice, and sighed.
Who would have thought that Youmei Technology would come to this point...
When he took over Youmei Technology, he never thought that Youmei Technology would come to this point.
Really... I never dreamed of it.
...
Lin Yao forced Mu Wanqing to go for a midnight snack.
But at this moment, there are not many people like her who have the leisure time.
Although the Future S2 press conference has just ended, the audience on the scene are still trying out the phone, and the related topics have not fermented yet.
But everyone can see how much impact this new generation of Future phones from Youmei Technology will have...
The heads of companies in the food delivery and taxi markets have urgently held video conferences.
All the members of Jiaming Alliance also met urgently.
As for the colleagues in Linmu Studio, they have begun to watch the promotional videos and game content released by the mobile game "Top" repeatedly...
In addition to them, practitioners from all walks of life are also paying attention to the situation of Future S2.
Most people have made sufficient mental preparations after watching the press conference of the new mobile phone.
However.
After the press conference, the grand opening of Future S2 pre-sale in the early morning was beyond everyone's expectations!
The top four hot lists on social media are all related to Future S2!
Before midnight.
The related self-media have already started bombarding, and various related news continue to emerge.
And at midnight.
Future S2 is open for pre-sale.
Countless users flocked to Future's official website and began to pre-order new mobile phones. Because there were too many people, users who were slower couldn't even open the official website, let alone pre-order mobile phones...
