"I'm very pleased that many people come."

Chen Mo looked in the stands with satisfaction and said, "First of all, I will introduce myself to all the students. My name is Chen Mo, the designer of "League of Legends" and "Overwatch". Most of the students here should know me, so I won't say much. If I say too much, it seems like I'm showing off."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and this kind of boast was unique. As expected, Chen Mo was the same as during the live broadcast, and always liked to tell slutty jokes.

After the laughter gradually subsided, Chen Mo continued: "First of all, thanks to the leaders of the Games Committee and World Yida Game Design for letting me teach this lesson. I feel very honored."

"Today is the first lesson. Let's first briefly talk about the course itself. This course is called game prospects, which means summarizing the past development experience of the game industry and looking forward to the future development prospects of the game industry."

"I have learned some of the past experiences by my classmates last semester, so I won't repeat them. Now it can be said that it is an era where mobile games, PCs, and VR games coexist, and the future... may be the world of virtual games, or it may not be. This is the focus of our future courses."

"Of course, according to the current general understanding, the future will definitely be the world of virtual games, because virtual games can crush mobile phones and PCs in various experiences. Many people believe that with the continuous development and progress of technology and the popularization of VR game cabins, VR games will inevitably replace mobile phones and PCs to become the most important and highest-end entertainment method in the future of human beings, and will also become the mainstream game type."

"About this point of view, I want to first hear everyone's thoughts. Are there any students who want to take the initiative to speak?"

The students in the audience responded very enthusiastically and raised their hands.

Chen Mo pointed to a girl wearing glasses in the front row: "You can talk about it."

The girl wearing glasses stood up: "Hello, Teacher Chen Mo! Games are better than mobile phones and PCs in various performances. Although VR games are not very popular in China, this is mainly limited by the cost of VR games."

"At present, a VR game cabin, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, is too expensive in terms of the current income level of ordinary people in China. But if in the future, if we can enter the virtual world through VR helmets or just a pair of VR glasses? Or, the price of VR game cabin has dropped sharply, down to a price of several thousand yuan, which is the same as PC, then VR games will definitely squeeze the living space of PC games. So I think the future will definitely be the world of VR games."

Chen Mo nodded and pointed to a fat boy in the middle row.

The boy stood up: "I think in the future, the VR game cabin will definitely become mainstream, but there should be room for survival for PC and mobile phones. Unless there are virtual glasses or virtual helmets that can integrate mobile phones and PC functions. Before this, VR games cannot completely unify the entire game market."

"But judging from the current situation, it's still too early for our technological development level, so the coexistence of mobile phones, PCs, and VR will continue for a long time."

Chen Mo named a few more classmates.

Everyone expressed their opinions, but the overall concept is similar. Everyone thinks that virtual games become mainstream is just a matter of time, but it is just a matter of time.

Until virtual games completely unify the market, other gaming platforms, including mobile PCs, will not suffer a fatal blow, but they will not be able to live too well.

Chen Mo nodded, this view basically represents the current mainstream view.

Chen Mo said: "This is what I am going to talk about today. I have a different view on this."

"Will games really be completely limited to platforms? I don't think that a truly good game, no matter what platform it is, is a good game, and it may even save a platform because of a game."

The students blinked their eyes, which was a unique saying.

A classmate in the audience asked: "Teacher Chen Mo, are you talking about "League of Legends"?"

Chen Mo said this, many people's first reaction was "League of Legends", because before "League of Legends", the PC game was completely suppressed by VR games, but the popularity of League of Legends was unexpected by many people, and its popularity even exceeded many VR games on the market.

Moreover, League of Legends cannot be changed to VR games, which also made many people realize that VR is not omnipotent.

Chen Mo nodded: "League of Legends" is just one example. In fact, there are still many vacancies in the domestic game market at present, and VR games cannot completely cover these vacancies."

A student asked, "Teacher Chen Mo, what do you mean by vacancy?"

Chen Mo replied: "Game is equivalent to a form of expression. The game cabin is just one of the carriers. It also has advantages, but also disadvantages, and it cannot meet all the needs of everyone. To give a simple example, the handheld console still has room for survival even to this day. It's just that no one does it."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Handheld machine?

There are also handheld consoles in parallel worlds. The so-called handheld console is actually a handheld game console, and its main feature is that it can be played in your hands.

However, the handheld consoles in this world have not been fully developed and soon disappeared because technology has developed very quickly. With the improvement of technology level, smartphones have been continuously popularized, and handheld consoles have been completely replaced by mobile games.

Indeed, there is actually a high degree of repetition in terms of functions between handheld phones. In the eyes of designers in this world, most of the functions of handheld phones can be implemented on mobile phones. If that is the case, why spend money to buy a handheld phone?

Therefore, after hearing Chen Mo's remarks, everyone was a little surprised because the handheld console is a game carrier that has been eliminated, which is a recognized fact in the game industry.

Several lecturers and professors in the back row were frowning. What was going on? How could Chen Mo tell such common sense mistakes?

A brave student raised his hand and said, "Teacher Chen Mo, are you sure that the handheld computer still has room for survival in this era? The functions of handheld computers and mobile phones are highly repetitive. The handheld computers can do whatever the handheld computer can do, but why do you still have to buy handheld computers? It doesn't make sense."

Chen Mo smiled: "Because the handheld I mentioned is not the kind of handheld you imagined. You all imagine handheld as a mobile phone that cannot make phone calls or install other software, right?"

The students looked at each other, is there any difference?

Isn’t the handheld phone just not install other software or make phone calls? What is the difference between other phones and mobile phones?
