Chapter 412: No loss is a big profit

While producing "Call of Duty Modern Warfare", Yang Chen is also designing several switch games GDDs, not only GDDs for "Super Mario Odyssey", but also two projects to Lin Jiayi and Wang Ye.

However, because the machine has not been made yet, Yang Chen is not in a hurry to get the related projects out and hand them over to Wang Ye and Lin Jiayi, but just told them that there will be projects for them.

"Are they all age-oriented games?" Wang Yaliang, who was holding a dream dragon ice cream in his hand, said curiously, and said.

There are not just games that are all ages, but they are almost rare.

If you have to say anything big, it can only be put on the head of "Minecraft", which they just developed.

After all, the main consumption targets of games, especially those in Level 3A masterpieces, are those who are fixed between 15 and 35 years old, and they are mainly men.

As for children and older adults?

These people have never been considered by ordinary game companies.

"Does the board game know?" Yang Chen stopped typing on the keyboard and smiled and leaned his head over and bit a big hole in the square ice cream.

"A board game similar to the Rich Real Estate, players will spread a large map, then throw dice, hold cards in their hands, and play." Without giving her a chance to react, Yang Chen directly put the topic into his own rhythm.

Board games similar to Monopoly are already available on the market, otherwise this would be a good type in Yang Chen's consideration and would be very suitable for switch.

But there are already such games on the market. Although they fit the switch platform, they are obviously a bit unsatisfied as the first game.

But from a certain perspective, it is the same.

"Of course I know, you have never won before playing with me." Wang Yaliang rolled his eyes and stopped stolen ice cream, but instead bite it with big mouthfuls.

Yang Chen said speechlessly, "This is not the key."

After a pause, Yang Chen continued, "The key is that it is a multiplayer game. The portability of the switch and the disassembled controller allow multiple players to play together. Only party games can allow players to truly experience this happiness."

Yang Chen looked at Wang Yaliang and said.

Party multiplayer games are not just a broad concept of all-age games.

There are many types of games. If the player plays alone, it will be boring and lonely. But as long as there is a silly friend who can play with you, it will be very happy.

Imagine how happy it would be to have a good friend and a cheating game like "Cooked Bad"?

And if this good friend is still a young lady, then it will be double happiness.

Can you let you play this kind of game alone?

Silently cutting vegetables, cooking and serving vegetables alone.

Too miserable!

Just thinking about tears will fall out, okay?

Of course, that kind of competitive game is probably not included in this category.

After all, there are still many players who value competition victory and defeat. For example, in "Dota" and "True Three Kingdoms" in "Warcraft", with Nebula Games launching the season ladder ranking, such a sentence was born among the player group.

‘Good brothers, horse hunters against the wind’

Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang nodded thoughtfully, but soon she was a little confused again. "But although the party sounds beautiful, there will probably only be a small number of people who are in demand? This can only be used as a gimmick at most, right?"

It is not practical, this is a deep evaluation of Wang Yaliang.

Most of the players who are willing to buy game consoles and games are office workers who have entered society, and most of them are from the age of 16 to 30.

Of course not absolute, it just means that most of them are this age group.

But do ordinary office workers really need such party games?

If you apply it from his previous work life, Wang Yaliang thinks it is not necessary at all.

Friends and colleagues gathered together to play party games during their leisure time, which sounded really great, great.

But, stop making trouble, this is unrealistic.

Not to mention whether you are tired like a dog when you work on weekdays, your private time on weekends is very precious, and it is too difficult to find such like-minded friends.

Listening to Wang Yaliang's words, Yang Chen showed a smile on his face, "That's why "Super Mario Odyssey" and several transplanted games, and subsequent single-player games developed specifically for switch."

The concept of switch is to allow everyone to experience the fun of the game and share the fun of the game with others. It is not a task text social interaction that is similar to online games, but an out-of-the-art social interaction.

But this is just what Yang Chen wants to bring to the players. Yang Chen cannot change the players' own life choices and personal time relationship circles.

Let players with conditions experience this kind of party-style fun gameplay, and ordinary players can also have their own gameplay. This is what Yang Chen wants to bring to players.

…………

In the Nebula Game, Yang Chen also got the latest prototype from Cheng Ping in his hand. Compared to the switch in Yang Chen's dream memory, this prototype is smaller.

The thickness of the body has not changed much, but the screen resolution is higher, and both the handheld mode and the TV mode support 1080 resolution.

Of course, support is support, whether it can be 1080 depends on how the game is optimized on the platform.

Otherwise, the machine supports 8k resolution, and you throw the game on it and act like a slide running. What's the point?

At least the game can be smoothly stable at 30fps to be considered qualified.

I tried to remove the handle and then felt the 3D tactile vibration through the built-in debugging function. Everything was still very satisfying to Yang Chen.

Of course, this is just a prototype, and there are still many defects. Moreover, the machine itself also needs to be burned to detect it. It is not possible to solve the problem in one or two weeks.

However, these things need to be solved in terms of machine quality, and the formation of the prototype also means that they can carry out game transplantation and development on the handheld console platform.

"Mr. Yang, I have to ask you one thing, what price do you want to set for the price of this handheld machine?" Cheng Ping next to him thought about something and asked at Yang Chen with a wry smile.

"Is it very expensive to have a handheld machine?" Yang Chen looked at Cheng Ping and asked. The financial report and documents on the handheld machine were sent to him. However, he was designing the document for the game GDD recently, and "Call of Duty Modern Warfare" were also considered a juncture of development, so he had not had time to read it.

"It's quite high. If it's priced at 2,000, we basically won't make any money." Cheng Ping said to Yang Chen.

"That's it, just don't pay." Yang Chen was a little nervous, and after hearing Cheng Ping's words, Yang Chen breathed a long sigh.

Yang Chen is really afraid that like Microsoft in Dream Memory, he will lose hundreds of dollars if he sells a game console. Then, wouldn’t he lose billions of dollars if he buys tens of millions of units?

Nebula Games’ loss of hundreds of millions is not a big problem, but the problem of billions is too big.

As for the game consoles that don’t lose money or make money, doesn’t that mean they make money?

????????

Listening to Yang Chen's words, even though Yang Chen told him before that they did not make money by selling game consoles, Cheng Ping is still a little confused now. Isn't it a joke?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Yang is the cost of his own game console. If we include the later promotion, the switch project will definitely lose money."

Looking at Cheng Ping with a serious look on his face, Yang Chen smiled and said, "No big problem, if you don't lose, you'll make a big profit."

As long as this game console is sold without losing money, will he still make money by selling games?
