Restart the Gaming Era

The entire March is almost a month that belongs to the alpha bracelet.

Alpha company officially announced that since the launch of the alpha bracelet on January 10, the first month sales have reached an astonishing 13 million units, and so far (March 13) sales have successfully exceeded 20 million units!

According to this speed estimation, it is very likely that alpha6 will sell 100 million units in one year. This is already a very shocking number. In the global bracelet market, the alpha6 bracelet is almost in a crushing situation. The other bracelet makers are devastating.

Moreover, this amazing sales is still based on the high price of the alpha6 bracelet. Its price is 13,000. For many people, this is an unaffordable price.

Even so, the alpha6 bracelet has achieved such amazing sales, which shows how dominant this bracelet is in the high-end market.

At the same time, major evaluation media also fancy touting this bracelet. Among these evaluation media, it is clearly leading the future of the bracelet industry.

With the increasing sales of alpha bracelets, the market share of various derivative products such as the alpha game market and the alpha system is also rising. For mobile game developers, the biggest impact is that the alpha game market has become a super-large channel that cannot be ignored.

A little-known mobile game company in the third district announced that since their independent research and development of the independent game "Follow the Wind" was put on the alpha game market, it has now easily reached tens of millions of sales, after deducting the share of the alpha store This game, which costs only 10 yuan, still brings nearly 50 to 60 million profits to the company in a short period of time, which is an overnight rich.

"Follower" is just an independent game. No matter in terms of art resources, game capacity, etc., it is far from being comparable to some 3a masterpieces. Its only advantage is that it takes advantage of the characteristics of the alpha6 bracelet, so it successfully obtained a very precious recommendation position on the alpha store.

This game mainly uses visual capture technology to interact with the game screen through the player's sight. With beautiful scenes and melodious music, he successfully covered himself with an "artistic game" skin. With unprecedented success.

Obviously, the game of "Follow the Wind" has speculative elements, but it is undeniable that it has received high ratings on the alpha store, received editorial recommendations, and sold eye-catching sales.

Now a lot of people understand why Griffin Studio will launch the mobile version of "The Light of the Gods", and indeed make money!

Even in traditional bracelet games, even if they do not use visual capture technology, as long as they move to the alpha store, many people will pay. There are not many opportunities to make money by lying down like this. Griffin Studio is now a listed company. Shareholders also need to read the financial report. It is normal to want to get a share in the field of bracelet games.

Compared to Griffin Studios, another game company's approach is much smarter.

The eqs company in the second zone directly and silently made two bracelet games released to the alpha game store, did not do much publicity, and did not get a special lecture at the press conference, but just silently directly on the shelves.

However, after the alpha store gave special editorial recommendations to these two games, their sales immediately took off, reaching 300,000 and 500,000 respectively. Although not as much as an independent game such as "Follow the Wind", the two games are priced at 58 and 39 respectively. Based on this price, eqs has made a lot of money.

Many players have sighed for Griffin Studio. You said that you did it as a mobile game, secretly hanging on to the alpha store to muffle the money and finish it? You have to have a press conference to make everyone known, and then you get scolded.

If you look at other people's eqs, they are very smart, sneakily made two mobile games, and then sold them. Because there is no big fanfare, the fans of this company's original console games are basically unknown and staggered perfectly.

With the success of eqs, other established game makers are still a bit stubborn.

After all, who can make real money by making real money?

For companies such as eqs and Griffin Studios, the development of a large 3a masterpiece game is too low in revenue, and it will cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions. After it is made, if the sales are violent, it will be lost. Return. What about a bracelet game on the alpha bracelet? The investment has been directly reduced by ten times, but its profitability has not lost many console games at all.

Suddenly, these old game manufacturers also began to float.

It is for this reason that throughout March, news about alpha bracelets followed.

Needless to say, the company that develops the bracelet app and bracelet game is thinking about how to port its own app or game to the alpha platform.

Many traditional game manufacturers have really started to make bracelet games, and the mobile games of companies like eqs are actually quite profitable!

After all, these veteran game manufacturers started as console games. Making a bracelet game is simply killing chickens with a slasher. The bracelet game manufacturers with a lot of quality crushed, plus some more famous IPs and the names of the manufacturers themselves. The alpha game store gave a little resource to promote it, and it took off instantly.

All kinds of news around the alpha bracelet, almost all reveal the same information as players. Alpha companies are beginning to belong to their era!

On Weibo, ceo Peng Liang from i-evaluator was also very proud of his previous judgment and frequently sent Weibo interactions.

"Alpha bracelet sales report, two other game companies decided to launch a new tour on the alpha platform. I issued a prediction before, but the results were sprayed by many people, now look at it again? Griffin Studio, eqs and other old studios are all I moved my game to the alpha6 bracelet, eqs has already tasted the sweetness. As for Griffin Studio, even if they are scolded with dog blood sprinklers now, it will definitely be hot after "Dawn of Light" is really on the shelves. If you do n’t believe us, we will wait to see the stock price and earnings report. "

"I said a long time ago that there are absolutely no studios in the world that cannot be changed by capital, so is Microlight Studio. Now Microlight Studio is still doing console games, it's just because they know it later. I am here. Bold prediction, will definitely be able to play "Ink Cloud Smoke 2" on the bracelet within a year! "

Unconsciously, there are more and more supporters under Peng Liang Weibo.

"Support President Peng!"

"General Manager Peng really sees the problem. What about the sprays before? The Griffin Studios are doing mobile games. Is it enough to face?"

"Sprayers, this is a big trend, do you understand? The hardware is bound to be constantly updated. President Peng specializes in evaluation, is it 10,000 times better than you?"

There are still many people who are initially opposed to Peng Liang, but as more and more traditional game manufacturers start to join the alpha store, these opponents are gradually losing their confidence.

Some people keep talking about the low light studio, but no one can guarantee that the low light studio will not be listed in the alpha store.

Peng Liang is justified, no one is going to have trouble with money!

Eqs was the first person to eat crabs, and they ate very fragrant, and the people behind may also learn something like that.

Although players think this is just bad money, but bad money is better than losing money, right? How can a game company struggle with making money?

...

On March 16th, Yu Nuo Technology and Microlight Studio held a joint press conference again. This time, a new product will be released, as well as the new game "Star Tinder 2 Rebellion" which has attracted much attention from players.

The news had already been circulated a month in advance, and Lin Xiaoguang's Weibo also revealed a lot of information, but did not attract much attention.

On the one hand, for the sake of confidentiality, neither Micro-Light Studio nor Yunuo Technology have disclosed too much, but only some relatively marginal news has been released, which is not strong enough; on the other hand, it is because the recent news headlines have already been alpha company Swipe the screen, there is a clear gap between the two.

Many players know that Yunuo Technology is about to release a new product, but what exactly is it going to release? Players don't expect much.

gs1 simulator, gs1 host, controller, full-view display ... these have been sent.

According to the life cycle of a host, the gs1 host can be at least five or six years old, and it is impossible to release gs2. Many people speculate that most of this time will be handhelds, or devices such as headphones, stereos, and traditional displays, so the interest is not too great.

Players are more interested in "Star Tinder 2".

Conference site.

Although all of them have been swiped by news related to the Alpha bracelet recently, players are obviously looking forward to the new equipment of Yunuo Technology.

After a series of new equipment such as gs1 simulator, gs1 console, elite controller and full-view display, many loyal players of the low-light game have bought the "Yunuo Technology Family Bucket", and all kinds of supporting facilities are very complete. .

It does not mean how much they like Yunuo Technology. The key is that every time Yunuo Technology releases a new thing, players will be surprised to find that they really need it ...

Every time Yu Nuo Technology releases a new device, Weiguang Studio often matches a brand new game, and this device can often significantly improve the gaming experience! In other words, every new product of Yu Nuo Technology has accurately stamped the pain points of players.

Therefore, many players are also looking forward to what kind of peripherals Yuno Technology will produce this time.

Handheld? Or an audio device like an echo wall?

To the right of the stage, there is a gs1 simulator, which should be used to display games.

Players at the scene have already known that the game "Star Tinder 2" released this time as a fps game is definitely on the gs1 simulator, so it is very reasonable to have a simulator on the stage.

The press conference officially started, and Lin Xiaoguang came to power.

To everyone's surprise, he did not immediately reveal the new device, but instead introduced the game, Star Tinder 2 first.

Moreover, when Lin Xiaoguang talked about "Interstellar Tinder 2", he did not focus on the gameplay of the game, but focused on the main details of this game.

Many players thought that this was because Lin Xiaoguang was not a full-time game designer and didn't know enough about the game, but then he thought about it again, most of them said it intentionally!

At the same time, a demo player entered the gs1 simulator and began to play "Star Tinder 2" live. The big screen at the scene was divided into two screens, a small part of which was Lin Xiaoguang's lens, and most of them were actual game screens of "Star Tinder 2".

The promotional video of "Star Tinder 2" has been disclosed on the Internet before, but the promotional video is still very different from the actual game screen. Many game companies' promotional videos are made with cg, with very high accuracy, but in the game, the picture quality has shrunk across the board.

However, all cgs in "Interstellar Tinder 2" are completed with real-time calculations. The accuracy of the art resources in the game is very high, so the picture everyone sees on the big screen is almost the same as cg.

The player in the simulator wears a body suit with a motion capture function, so the picture on the big screen is a scene after the game screen is synthesized with the model generated by the player ’s action. While highlighting the real game scene, Let the audience clearly see the many details of the game.

"" Star Tinder 2 Rebellion "is a stand-alone game with extremely rich scenes. Compared to" Xuanjia Plan ", players will have a richer gaming experience. On this planet, you will be in the long red sand Go forward and watch out for the sand bugs that come out of the ground at any time; it is also possible to enter the Zerg lair, and once exposed, you will face the calamity; you will also drive the mech against the rebels in the snow and ice ... "

The version that the demo players are playing is a special version of "Star Tinder 2" for the conference. This version stitches many scenes together, so that the audience at the scene can more intuitively feel the style of different scenes in the game.

Especially the initial surface scene left a deep impression on the audience.

The planet's atmosphere is thin, so the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large. In the summer's equatorial region, the temperature during the day can reach 45 degrees, and at night it can drop to minus 70 degrees.

The current ambient temperature will be displayed on the UI of the interface. When the temperature deviates from the normal value, the character's protective clothing will start to operate, a small temperature adjustment icon will appear in the upper right corner of the field of vision, and the battery of the protective clothing Began to consume.

During the day, the blazing sun sprinkled the ground, and the high temperature caused some distortion of the character's vision. The red sand everywhere was rolling into a hot ocean, and every step on it seemed to see a white smoke rising.

At night, the temperature plummeted, and white frost or ice crystals began to appear on the surrounding sand dunes. Although it was not as obvious as snow, it was still cold under the dark night sky.

The various environments highlight the harsh environment in the StarCraft II game. The characters controlled by the testers are struggling in the red desert, making people seem to have an immersive illusion ~ www.readwn.com ~ The audience at the scene is a little puzzled, why should we show these scenes repeatedly?

Soon, Lin Xiaoguang revealed the answer.

"In the past, no matter whether it was a severe cold or a hot summer, no matter what the environment of the game changed, it could only be expressed by the screen or the reaction of the characters in the game. Like" Ink Cloud Smoke 2 ", in the severe cold region, the scholars were frozen It ’s always dozing, and there are scattered snowflakes in the sky, so that players can feel the cold of the environment. "

"However, this feeling is still too unintuitive after all, the player cannot feel the temperature of the environment outside the screen."

"Moreover, in traditional games, the player's gun is often reflected by the vibration of the handle, which can give us some immersive feeling, but it is still not enough."

"So, the first product that Yunuo Technology is going to launch this time is-x-suit somatosensory suit!"

"This somatosensory suit will integrate the three functions of somatosensory, constant temperature control, and motion capture. Together with the gs1 simulator, it will bring players a fully immersive gaming experience!"
