Chapter 256 "Legend of Heroes"

The richness of mobile games is definitely a big killer that promoted the development of smartphones in the early days. Therefore, under the auspices of Zhou Xin, this series of mobile games launched by Flamingo has high expectations.

Zhou Xin hopes that they can help Mphone2 to quickly open up the global promotion.Why I chose "Legend of Heroes" instead of games such as Clash of Clans and Clash Royale is because of network restrictions.

At present, only a few large cities in American have completed the laying of 3G networks, and most areas are still in the 2G era. Real-time confrontational games such as tribal wars do not have a good experience under high network delays.

"Legend of Heroes" is different. This mobile game is based on the model of "Dota Legend". Most of the game modes are PVE-based, and only the arena gameplay involves PVP. Only when the card is drawn must the network be guaranteed to be unblocked.

At the same time, "Legend of Heroes" can continue to enrich the world view of League of Legends, and use characters repeatedly to allow players to have an emotional connection with these game characters.More importantly, is there anything more attractive to users than card-drawing games?

Not to mention that foreigners don't like card games, the popularity of card games is due to human nature.

Charles looked at the gray icon in the Mphone app store and the reminder next to it, feeling a little frustrated.

From the Flamingo press conference, it seems that "Legend of Heroes" is a bit interesting, but this is not enough to make him make up his mind to spend more than 700 US dollars to replace a new mobile phone.

Mphone1 can still be used!Sometimes it is a mistake to make a mobile phone too well. Nokia, which can be used for 10 years, not only makes competitors desperate, but also makes its own internal sales team desperate.

Fortunately, the birth of Mphone has given consumers a new reason to replace their mobile phones: what age is it, why are you still using a mobile phone that cannot access the Internet?

"Joseph, have you bought an Mphone2? Although it's a bit sudden to ask, but because I was at the E3 site, I saw that some mobile games launched by Riot Games require an Mphone2 to play, so I want to ask if you have changed to an Mphone2?
If you change it, I would like to come to your house to see the specific effect. Charles remembered that he had a wealthy friend Joseph, who was a fan of electronic products and bought a lot of useful and useless electronic products.

As for why it is called Riot Games, it is because the original Flamingo was called Riot Games, and the current Riot game is called Riot Electronics Community. Later, it was renamed Flamingo. Old players still like to call it Riot, and they think this name is more domineering.

Joseph was a little surprised when he received a call from Charles: "Are you at the E3 exhibition site? I am here too, but I am at the Blizzard booth. Where are you? I will come to you later."

Charles and Joseph are not so familiar friends. They are colleagues that Charles met after he went to the new company in January this year. Because they have common hobbies, they chat more often.But when colleagues become friends, there is always some distance.

Charles said, "I'll wait for you at Riot's booth, next to Sega's booth."

Charles was glad that he was able to play with the Mphone2 of a local tycoon for free, because Joseph said so, obviously he meant Mphone2.

After waiting for about 15 minutes, Joseph, who was wearing a red polo shirt, approached Charles, and suddenly shouted: "Hi!"

Charles, who was immersed in the game of Temple Run, was taken aback: "You are here.

The game released by Riot this time is a bit interesting, and it is very good to pass the time. "

Charles handed the Mphone1 in his hand to Joseph, thinking about letting him have a look.

Joseph smiled and said, "I know, it's really good. I've come here before you. I've downloaded all the games launched by Riot this time. Compared with "Temple Run" and "Subway Surfers", "Legend of Heroes" seems a bit complicated.

I haven't had time to experience it in depth. The "Warcraft 3" launched by Blizzard this time also looks very good. There is a long queue of people at the Blizzard booth.

I originally planned to queue up too, but it seemed that I would not be able to turn in a short time, so I came here first. "

In 2003, Blizzard was like a god in the game industry. Warcraft 3 sold 550 million sets in the world in just two weeks after its launch. Later, Blizzard, which was arguing with NetEase, was just an empty shell with Blizzard's signature.

Charles said: "You should have just told me directly on the phone, so that I can come to you, and while you are queuing up, we can try the game performance of Mphone2.

Smartphones are a time-killer when queuing, and before you know it, it's your turn. "

Joseph nodded: "Good idea, try it first, I can only say this, the same game, playing with Mphone2 is completely different from Mphone1."

After speaking, Joseph took out the Mphone2 from his pocket, then smoothly opened the main interface with his fingerprint, and clicked into Temple Run: "You swipe it with your finger, and in any direction, this character will go.

Come on, try it out. "

Charles took over Mphone2 from Joseph. Although he had experienced Mphone2 in Mphone's offline stores before, he was still amazed by the feel and the visual impact of the whole screen.

The most expensive part of Mphone2 is the screen and CPU. Other accessories are also expensive, but not as expensive as the screen and CPU.

Charles sat on the chair provided by the door of the Flamingo, and died after playing Temple Run for 5 minutes. This operation is much more enjoyable than pressing the buttons. There is almost no hindrance to touching the screen, but there is obvious resistance when pressing the keyboard.

Coupled with the visual impact of a whole screen, Charles did not expect to play "Temple Run" with Mphone2 so smoothly. It feels like the whole game has been sublimated by changing the device.

After watching Charles finish a game, Joseph said, "Well, isn't this experience very different?
I felt the same way when I first played. "

After finishing speaking, Joseph took out another Mphone1 from his pocket, and continued: "Because the power of Mphone is limited, I am very afraid that the mobile phone will run out of power. tough.

So usually I will take two mobile phones out at the same time. "

Charles complained in his heart that money can indeed be willful.

"When I was downloading the game in front of the Riot Games booth just now, I also downloaded "Temple Run" with Mphone1 by the way. My Mphone1 has many applications installed, and I can only install one more game.

After I experienced "Temple Run" on two mobile phones at the same time, I feel that it is not a game at all. The expressiveness of Mphone2 is much stronger, not only the control mode, but also the clarity of the screen is one of the important reasons.

The screen of the Mphone2 is not only the best among mobile phones, but also has a large gap compared with the second best mobile phone screen. Compared with Sony, Sega, and Nintendo handhelds, its screen quality is also the best. If the handheld computer is included, there is no product that can compete with the Mphone2 in terms of screen performance.

Not to mention that the Matrix also features state-of-the-art touchscreen technology.

Newman is worthy of being a god-like product manager, and he can always bring us bright products. "

Joseph went on to say: "Let's go to the Blizzard booth first, and experience "Legend of Heroes" while queuing.

Although Blizzard's booth does not have wifi, this area is covered by a 3G network. Even if there is no wifi, it should not affect our playing "Legend of Heroes". "

Walking to Blizzard's booth, a large number of people were queuing up, and the curtains placed at the entrance of the booth were even more exaggerated than what Joseph described, as many as four pieces were placed.

"It seems that Blizzard is the big winner in this year's E3 exhibition. Such overwhelming popularity, the curtain at the entrance of the exhibition, and the live broadcast of the players' confrontation remind me of the E3 exhibition two years ago. "Yi" attended in person." Charles said in a low voice.

Joseph agreed: "That's right, I had a similar feeling when queuing here before, and I watched the players' battles here for a while.

I feel that Blizzard also wants to do a good job in e-sports. The viewing threshold of "StarCraft" was a bit high before. If you don't play this game, you can't understand it. It's not as easy to understand as "Teamfight".

Therefore, in the game "Warcraft 3", Blizzard feels that it has consciously reduced the difficulty of understanding for the audience. "

If the E3 exhibition is a grand event for game lovers, then the offline game of "Game of Thrones" at the end of each year is a grand event for players of "Game of Thrones" around the world. , Competing for the last golden shovel.

This extravaganza has ensured the enduring popularity of Teamfight Tactics, while also bringing Flamingos plenty of perks.

The first offline game was only sponsored by Riot Games. In the third year, the broadcasting rights of the offline game were bought by three American TV stations. At the same time, there were sponsors from 7 large companies including Intel, HP, and Dell. sponsor.

Charles and Joseph squeezed into the crowd, "Stimulated by the "Game of Genting" offline competition, other game manufacturers certainly want to eat this cake.

The most eager one should be Blizzard.

Blizzard's own involvement in e-sports was much earlier than Flamingo. As a result, the events held by Blizzard were not popular, and the e-sports events about Blizzard games held by other organizers were very popular.

Blizzard is definitely not convinced. I saw the news on the Riot Games forum before, saying that Blizzard had poached the e-sports director of Flamingo Games, saying that it wanted to make efforts in e-sports.Judging from the layout of this exhibition, Blizzard should indeed have such an idea. "

While Joseph and Charles were complaining about Blizzard, the crowd queuing up around them were also chatting in twos and threes.

But the focus of everyone's discussion is on the game itself.

"It seems that the human race is much more powerful, and their arms are far more abundant than the other two races."

"No, no, it's not about the race, it's about the players. The players on the left and the players on the right are too different in strength. If they were similar in strength, the human race would not have developed to this stage at all.

This game is actually very similar to "StarCraft", the race with the advantage in the early stage can turn the advantage into an economic advantage and then snowball it until it wins. "

"Blizzard's settings for the four races this time are quite interesting, and the degree of discrimination between races is much higher than that of "StarCraft". The arms of different races are also very easy to distinguish."

Joseph and Charles stood in the team and were a bit out of place with the other players. They opened "Legend of Heroes".

"Compared with the characters in "Game of Genting", the characters here feel much cuter."

"It's more of an animation feel."

"Sure, after all, it's a switch from 2.5D to a full 2D horizontal version."

"The previous level is a bit too simple. Although it can be operated, I feel that it can be passed without letting go of skills."

"The animation effect is quite exquisite. When these heroes in Genting Game use their skills, there is no special animation effect after a pause."

"I already have 960 diamonds, do you want to draw 10 in a row?"

"You can try."

The two moved forward in the long line, and by the time it was their turn, they had already played "Legend of Heroes" for almost four hours and watched the live broadcast of player-to-player battles for an hour.

I only played for four hours because the Mphone2 ran out of power and shut down automatically.

""Legend of Heroes" has many ways to play and is very interesting. Players who are interested in collecting games will definitely like it. As a mobile game, it is undoubtedly good enough, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as excellence." Charles said in Mphone2 After the automatic shutdown concluded.

After experiencing the Mphone2 in depth, he has made up his mind to buy one.

Charles thought: Compared with Mphone2, Mphone1 is still in the era of industrial revolution. As for Motorola and Nokia?They are still in the age of primitive man.

Joseph thought for a while and added: "I feel that our experience of "Legend of Heroes" is still very superficial, after all, we can only wait after the stamina is exhausted.

Although we bought a first-charge gift pack halfway through and continued to play, judging from the introduction in the "Legend of Heroes" section of the fist game community, we still have many modules that we have not experienced.

However, the diamonds used to draw cards are too difficult to accumulate. At first they gave a lot, but they used up faster. I even wanted to buy that $99.9 gift pack. I thought I was crazy. "

The $99.9 recharge gift package corresponds to the 648 gift package. This is because the earliest built-in recharge of the Apple IOS system was settled in U.S. dollars, and the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and RMB was 6.4 at that time.This pricing has since been used.

Charles was stunned, charging $99.9 to exchange for a virtual product was crazy.

"Subway Surfers and Temple Run are premium games, but at 99 cents, it's very cheap.

Legend of Heroes is free to play, but it's filled with a ton of paid options, and we've loaded up $6 in just four hours.

I feel that "Legend of Heroes" is more expensive than paid games. ’ concludes Charles, who is sensitive to money.

Joseph retorted: "No, no, no, this is not a logic at all, a one-time buyout of paid games, even if the game is not as good as you expected, you can't go back.

In free games, you can choose not to recharge, and recharging is voluntary. "
