Half an hour had passed, but the two students still hadn't had enough.
Super Mario Odyssey was such a game. Before you started playing, you would feel that the game was childish, like it was meant for kids. But once you started playing, you would realize how addictive the game was. Once you started playing, you wouldn't be able to stop!
During the game, everyone's childlike nature was stimulated to the maximum. They always felt that every corner of the map seemed to be hiding something, and every corner was incomparably novel. It was like a fairy tale world full of mysteries, waiting for them to unravel them.
The bell for the end of class rang, but no one had any intention of leaving. Even the audience was very excited.
"The design of these moons is quite interesting. They can appear anywhere? It seems that the moon could be hidden in any corner of the map that looks a little strange! "
"Yeah, and the two player co-op mode is different from the other modes. One player controls the main character, and the other controls the hat?"
"The hat can even possess other small animals! I was shocked when I possessed the frog. You can play it like that? Also, the frog's ability is completely different from the main character. It can jump higher, which means that you have to possess specific animals to clear certain levels. "
"Yeah, and the overall quality is quite good. Looks like Chen Mo really put a lot of thought into this game."
"Also, the somatosensory mode looks quite fun. It's too bad you can't use somatosensory mode with two people!"
"Of course. Playing alone and playing with two people is completely different. When playing with two people, it's obviously more about fighting …"
"What do you think? Will you consider buying it when it's released? It looks quite fun. "
"But it shouldn't be cheap. This console costs at least three thousand RMB? It looks like it's better than the high-end phones on the market. Plus the price of the game … I can't afford it. "
"Chen Mo hasn't announced the price yet. How much is it?"
Chen Mo looked at the time. It had been ten minutes since class ended, but no one had any intention of leaving.
He walked up to the podium and clapped his hands, "Alright, today's class will end here. If anyone is interested in this console and the game, you can buy it when it's released."
Someone asked, "Professor Chen Mo, you still haven't announced how much it's going to cost?"
Chen Mo replied, "It's going to be priced at 1999 RMB, which is the price of the console and controller combined. If you buy the controller alone, it'll be 499 RMB."
Chen Mo noticed everyone's confusion and added, "These two controllers can be connected to phones in the future. That way, everyone can play games on phones.
"Also, most games on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform will support the controller connection. In the future, Thunderbolt Gaming Platform's mobile, PC and handheld versions will all be connected. Of course, these plans are still in preparation, but they should all be ready by the time the game is officially released. "
Everyone in the audience was shocked. It was obvious that Chen Mo had revealed the handheld console and the finished product of the game in half an hour. Everyone was shocked.
Before this, many people thought that Chen Mo's handheld would take a long time to make, and that it wouldn't be able to reach a perfect standard right off the bat. However, after seeing the prototype today, everyone realized that they were wrong.
Chen Mo already had an idea of the final form of the handheld!
The dean of the Game Design School, Fang Yubin, and a few other professors sat in the back row, their faces filled with shock and surprise.
These people were professionals, and had a much deeper understanding of the video game industry than the average student. After seeing the Switch and Super Mario Odyssey, and listening to Chen Mo's plans for future promotions, they all realized that this handheld had a lot of potential!
Obviously, Chen Mo didn't just release a handheld console. Strictly speaking, he released a new type of game mode.
With the support of Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, Switch will have a large number of independent games. When there are more games on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform in the future, the handheld will benefit even more. This way, the lack of games will be solved.
At the same time, the positioning of the handheld was very clear. It was prepared for the group of gamers who had high requirements for gameplay and portability.
For those who didn't want to spend money on a handheld console, Chen Mo suggested a compromise, which was to buy a controller and play it on their phone.
As for those who didn't care about a thousand RMB, they would definitely buy a full set of handheld consoles for a better gaming experience.
Moreover, even if they didn't buy a handheld and went for a controller, Chen Mo wouldn't lose out, as selling the controller and the game would still earn him money.
Fang Yubin looked at the professor next to him, "I didn't think he would actually make it. What do you think of the future of this handheld?"
The professor sighed, "If it was just a handheld, I wouldn't be optimistic about its future. However, Chen Mo isn't just releasing a handheld, he's releasing a new type of game mode. Moreover, he's filling in some of the gaps.
"I think Chen Mo's idea has a certain degree of feasibility, but we'll have to wait until the handheld is released to see how many people will buy it."
… …
After the latest lecture video was uploaded online, it immediately caused a huge uproar.
Many people thought that Chen Mo's handheld was still in the planning stages, or maybe it wasn't even complete yet. Who would've thought that he had already made a prototype?
Someone had taken the last half an hour of the lecture and uploaded it to the internet. It didn't take long for the players to see the actual scene of Super Mario Odyssey playing on the Switch!
Everyone's reaction was the same as the students in the lecture – amazed!
They thought that Chen Mo would release a game that was similar to the mainstream mobile games on the market, or at most a large MMORPG, or a mobile card game that transcended the current era?
But what they didn't expect was that Chen Mo released a game that was completely different from any other mobile game on the market!
This game was extremely casual, and supported both motion and two player modes. It had a wide range of players, ranging from kids over ten to seniors in their fifties and sixties.
This type of game was almost extinct in the current video game market!
Chen Mo also explained in the lecture that the controller could support mobile phones in the future. Moreover, the handheld would be installed with the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, and most games on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform would support controller mode.
