When it comes to home game consoles, you must be familiar with them. After all, childhood depends on these things. Regardless of Sega Saturn, an unexpected product that has long been hidden in the history, now it is mainly Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, which are the three biggest players, dividing the entire home game console market. To find out why there are no rising stars, Is it just because of its unique technological monopoly? In fact, in the final analysis, it is still the existence of exclusive masterpieces. Relying on the attraction of its exclusive masterpieces, it attracts users to buy its brand host to reach a level of magnitude, thus attracting game developers to develop game software to support their platforms. It seems to be a simple virtuous circle, which has created the situation of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft now standing in a tripartite confrontation, However, the rules that could not be broken in the past are in jeopardy because of mobile terminals.

1080p-2k display, 4-core CPU, 16 core GPU 2G running memory. Now the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal can fully meet the configuration requirements of the current TV game console, that is, the game video and audio output of the mobile terminal can fully meet the requirements of the current TV game. The open Android system platform has created countless game works, and the only thing to do is to improve the difference between handle operation and touch screen operation, What does this lead to? This has led to the emergence of an android platform in the market that can simulate nds For handheld computers on platforms such as psp, gba and fc, there are television game consoles that can play android games and android mobile games on TV. In addition, compared with the three major game hardware manufacturers, the games on the android platform are more attractive to non game enthusiasts, such as free game acquisition channels, such as better language localization, such as online games.

This time Xiaoke brought a main game and audiovisual entertainment Feizhi game box from JD crowdfunding to see what extent the experience of game consoles on the Android platform can be achieved.

First, we can see from the product parameters obtained from the crowdfunding page that the configuration of the Feizhi box is relatively mainstream. In fact, it is an android TV box with a high configuration and a very small size, which is competent for the existing software developed on the android platform. As a product that increases the perfect game experience on the basis of the TV box, For online video and local video decoding capability, no more tests will be conducted.

This evaluation is about Feizhi game box+Feizhi black samurai X9 handle set

The size of the Feizhi game box is similar to that of the Black Samurai X9 game controller, and the main structure is a black plastic part with a relatively high texture.

The accessories of the game box are mainly divided into the box body, remote control, two No. 7 batteries, hdmi transmission line, and dc power supply.

On the left side of the non intelligent game box are video and audio outputs, mainly for old TVs, reset keys, tf card slots that support up to 64GB, otg usb connection handles, and a usb 2.0 interface.

The rear side is equipped with wired network port, hdmi HD output, optical fiber audio output and DC power interface.

The edge of the cross groove at the bottom is densely covered with a heat sink, which is matched with four foot pads to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the box.

The remote control is a typical Android box layout, including direction selection, confirmation, home page, menu, return, multi task switching, volume increase/decrease, and power supply.

The black samurai X9 remote control uses 2.4g wireless wifi transmission and built-in gyroscope. Different from the traditional PC handle, the black samurai X9 can activate the flying mouse by clicking the top logo key, and can achieve left and right clicking through LT RT. During the game, clicking the select key can call out the handle configuration, and match the game function key to the corresponding position of the touch screen game key, You can operate the touch screen through the handle.

The handle of rocker and microswitch is quite good, and the operation is relatively easy.

Feizhi game box adopts the deeply customized Android 4.4 system. The overall system UI layout is very simple. The homepage is a few common function shortcuts and game recommendations.

The setting key on the left can quickly set the network, Bluetooth and display settings, and watch the video guide to get started quickly.

On the far right of the recommendation page is the software store provided by the system, which provides commonly used software downloads.

There are not many software, but they are high-quality common software, vst、 Magic video, KODI, etc.

The home page drop-down is the software interface. All installed software and games will be displayed here. The software is divided into six categories, which can be quickly found by users.

The essence of the Feizhi Game Box is the Feizhi Game Hall app, which contains the download, management and tutorial guidance of all games.

In the "My" section of the first column, you can find the downloaded games, but it seems that some software cannot be displayed in this section, so you need to look in the software directory.

The "Video" contains the operation guidance video and clearance video of popular games.

Peripherals, functions and accounts can be set in the "Management" section.

It also provides a handle mapping tutorial. In the original game that does not support handles, press the select key to call out the key mapping, drag and move the keys with different functions to the position of the virtual keys on the screen, and then map the functions of the handle to the virtual keys on the screen.

Feizhi game box temporarily supports the download of more than 300 games, of course, the number will gradually increase.

In addition to parkour racing, flight shooting, action adventure, sports fighting, leisure puzzle and other game categories.

It also provides online game downloads, such as the recently popular Nine Yin Scripture and the National Supergod.

However, some games need peripheral support. For example, some somatosensory games need to be supported by Flying Wisdom's flying mouse.

Experience: Four games have been selected for the game experience. One is to remember the Boxer 97 in his youth, the second is the best speedcar 17 representing performance and pictures, the third is the unique mobile online game Age of Wulin on the Android platform, and the last is the fps modern war 5.

There is no difference between the image and the sense of operation of King of Fist 97 and the traditional arcade. The black samurai x9 has a good feel and a high success rate. It is strange that the game nearly 20 years ago cannot run perfectly. The online version of King of Fist 97 supports online combat and has a good experience.

The whole experience process of Top Speed 17 is achieved by using the built-in gyroscope of Black Samurai x9. It should be said that the experience is superior to the racing game on the ps3 platform, and the picture is certainly inferior. After all, the whole game is only more than 600 mb, but the texture quality is good, and the operation picture on the large screen is very beautiful.

The operation mode of the Age of Wulin is "mobile based", which is also the feature of mobile online games. The task system of traditional online games plus the unique arpg form of mobile games have a good sense of attack and participation. A variety of moves are set instead of mechanized fatigue operation. It should be said that users with this feature cannot experience it on other platforms, While the flying mouse mode and handle mode of the Black Samurai x9 can handle the online gaming and arpg operation forms smoothly, and the experience should be superior to the operation on the touch screen.

I don't know what the relationship between modern war 5 and cod is, but the whole operation mode and task guidance are very similar. The weapons are diverse and the actions are diverse. Use the right crank to locate the center of alignment. If you can locate the center of alignment through the sense of body, the experience will be better. Anyway, there is nothing more to say. The classic fps game has good pictures, smooth operation, and high playability.

Summary:

The whole experience process has ended because of the time. For the games on the Feizhi game box and Android platform, the game length is generally not very long, because the carrier is within 1g, and the screen is completely satisfied with the needs of non game enthusiasts, which should be said to be suitable for short-term leisure players. The game is very convenient to obtain and easy to operate, Non native games that support handles can map handles and get started quickly, and the types of games are diverse.

At this stage, it is no doubt a pipe dream to influence the position of the other three major home game consoles, but it is also predictable to occupy one mu or three parts of the entire game console market, because:

Versatility: online, local video, games

Low investment: no subsequent investment

Ease of operation: the game language is highly localized and easy to operate

Gaming: online games unique to Android platform

Extensibility: supporting apps developed on the Android platform

And it can be predicted that, with the continuous popularity of Android game boxes, there will be more and more native games supporting handles, and the game content will be more and more rich. Even classic masterpieces of other platforms may be transplanted to the Android platform, which can be said to have a bright future. Even because of the support of the Android platform for vr, there may be the addition of vr hardware in the later stage, We hope that Feizhi will make persistent efforts to guide the process of televised games on the Android platform and create a more perfect game experience.
