Obviously the performance of mobile phone chips is so much better than that of NS, why are there no masterpiece games similar to it?

This is a very interesting question. Indeed, many players have always liked to compare the hardware configuration of consoles or handheld consoles with PC and mobile phones. From the data, PC and mobile phones In terms of hardware performance, it crushes consoles and handheld consoles. However, even so, it is difficult to find games on the current PC or mobile platforms that can match the performance of consoles. PCs are relatively better. As long as you are willing to spend money to purchase more expensive hardware to stack performance, you can reach or even exceed the game quality of consoles. However, there is no game on the mobile phone that can reach the level of the NS platform a few years ago. Obviously, the performance of mobile phone chips has far surpassed that of the NS handheld console. Why is there still no game similar to "Zelda" or "The Witcher"? 3》What about works like this? Today I’m going to tell you the reasons behind this.

Let’s first talk about the hardware level of NS

Let’s first take a look at the hardware performance of NS launched in 2017. NS’s hardware uses Nvidia’s customized Tegra X1 architecture hardware solution, a 4-core Cortex A57 architecture CPU, and a second-generation Maxwell architecture GPU with 256 CUDA cores.

To put it simply, Lao Huang’s Tegra architecture solution has very weak CPU performance but good GPU performance. If you want to compare it with PC graphics cards, the performance of NS’s graphics card is almost the same as that of the notebook platform’s 920m. Horizontally, the floating point operation speed can reach 1TF. The highest frequency of the CPU is only 1Ghz. It is basically difficult to find a CPU that is weaker than this performance. Therefore, why there are obvious lags when entering the NS store to view products is because the performance of this CPU is too weak. !

There may still be some readers who cannot intuitively understand how weak the NS's CPU is. Here is a mobile phone CPU performance ladder chart, and you will find that the NS's CPU performance is equivalent to the level of the Snapdragon 652. Of course, if we talk about GPU, it can still reach the level of Snapdragon 835.

In fact, overall, the hardware level of NS should be considered mainstream in 2017. As a handheld console dedicated to playing games, the weakness of the CPU can be completely compensated by the GPU. But having said that, with the launch of Snapdragon 865 at the end of 2019, both its GPU and CPU have far surpassed the NS of that era. So why are there not some masterpiece games similar to those on the NS on the mobile phone?

Advantages of heat dissipation design structure

In fact, everyone has always said that the performance of mobile phone chips is so strong, why is the picture quality of games still not comparable to that of handheld devices? In fact, in addition to the special optimization of games for handheld consoles, another important reason is the gap in heat dissipation. When we open the NS machine, we will find that there is a huge cooling fan and a heat pipe inside.

This is the biggest advantage of the NS handheld console compared to mobile phones for playing games. When the chip is running at high speed, the fan can quickly take away the heat and prevent the chip from overheating. In order to make today's mobile phones thinner and lighter, it is almost impossible to add a fan to the mobile phone to dissipate heat. Only a small number of gaming mobile phones are now beginning to add heat pipes to assist heat dissipation.

In fact, the current running speed of mobile phone chips is fully capable of running some game masterpieces similar to those on the NS platform. Of course, the premise is that the manufacturer is willing to specifically produce games on this processor architecture. However, even if a manufacturer is willing to produce it, there is a huge problem in terms of power consumption. The mobile phone chip running at full power will start to reduce frequency due to overheating within a few minutes, and the number of running frames of the game will begin to decrease.

I believe many mobile game players will also find that some games are smooth when they first start playing, but soon after playing, the phone starts to heat up and the game becomes more and more laggy. This is caused by insufficient heat dissipation performance. problem. Under the extremely compact structure of mobile phones, it is difficult to have a better design solution for heat dissipation issues, so this has become the main reason that restricts the launch of some masterpieces on mobile phone platforms.

As for many players saying that NS games have issues such as special optimization by manufacturers, in fact, in my opinion, these are secondary. If the performance of the game can be as good as NS on mobile phones, I believe there will be manufacturers willing to design better games specifically for mobile phone architecture.

We might as well change our thinking on this issue.

In fact, whether there is a so-called masterpiece does not entirely depend on hardware performance. After all, games are made by people, so this decision lies with the game manufacturers.

In fact, I think the experience brought by the entire game console is: game performance > game image quality > game hardware. Such a relationship. As we all know, Nintendo has never relied on game hardware performance and picture quality to win. Its games focus on entertainment, family entertainment, and outstanding game play.

Although in today's environment of rapid technological development and iteration, Nintendo's hardware performance is constantly being updated, their strategy has not changed. So looking back at this question, mobile phone chips are better than NS chips, so what? In other words, Nintendo has a place in the competition with the console market. No matter how powerful the performance of the mobile phone is, can it be as powerful as PS4 and Xbox One?

With the Mario series, Zelda series, and now popular exclusive IPs such as Animal Crossing, Nintendo’s NS will continue to be popular, and no one will bother with the computing power of the chip. It pays more attention to the game experience and the happiness that games bring us.

After all, a mobile phone is a mobile phone, and game functions are only supplementary functions. In terms of game quality, it is still not as good as professional game consoles, let alone the emergence of masterpieces that are comparable to game consoles. If these masterpiece games can be played on mobile phones Now that you’ve played it, how can you sell other people’s game consoles? Let’s talk about this topic in detail below.

Although the performance of mobile phones is strong, the game execution effect is not as good as NS

Mobile phones are now an electronic device with functions comparable to computers. They can make calls, send text messages, surf the Internet, watch videos, and play games. , hardware resources are not specifically used to serve games, and many resources will be consumed in other aspects. In this way, when running the game, it cannot be fully used in the game. Those with high configuration are fine, but those with low configuration will definitely be laggy when playing. Frame drops, and due to the large differences in hardware, game developers cannot achieve perfect optimization. However, the hardware platform of NS is unified, and game optimization must be in place to prevent lags and so on. Therefore, it can be configured with more configuration than mobile phones. Lower hardware enables better gaming experience.

Game consoles sell masterpieces, dedicated games

Nintendo’s Zelda, Pokemon, and Sony’s God of War are all old games. Have they ever released mobile versions? Can’t the mobile phone be transplanted? Even if new works can’t be transplanted, won’t old works still work? The functionality is definitely sufficient, but they won’t make it for you, even if it’s old games. They just won’t make your phone fun. If you can play console games on your phone, how can you sell the NS? go out? The price of this kind of game console is not cheaper than that of mobile phones.

It is difficult to prevent mobile phone piracy

Which one is easier to crack, mobile games or console games? Naturally, it is a mobile game, such as Android games. It can be said that there are no games that can charge a fee. As long as players want to play pirated games, they can find them. IOS is a little more troublesome and requires jailbreaking, but it is not difficult. If the manufacturer It is difficult to make any money if you really port the game to the mobile platform, but it will delay the sales of your own console. So far, only the old batch of NS has been cracked, and there are no pirated versions of the new models. One game sells for several hundred yuan. , players are also willing to pay for it. Games drive console sales, and you can’t only play one game after buying a console. This is a virtuous circle. Manufacturers can calculate this account more clearly than we do, so if you want to play these masterpieces, you still have to For those who buy other people’s game consoles, if they want to use their mobile phones to play games, it will take at least ten years for emulators to appear.

Although the performance of the mobile phone is much more powerful than that of the Nintendo Switch model, an important flaw of the mobile phone is that it has no physical buttons, which means that the gaming experience on the mobile phone is still not comparable to that of professional game consoles.

Many netizens will feel like this when playing games on their mobile phones: when their fingers repeatedly click on the hard screen, it is easy to cause muscle fatigue. And because the screen is too smooth and the virtual buttons have no physical feedback, some more complex operations are difficult to implement on the phone.

The NS game console is equipped with professional physical buttons and joysticks, as well as multi-functional shoulder buttons. The control feeling brought by these physical buttons is far beyond the comparison of mobile phone touch screens. Therefore, gaming phones such as Black Shark and Red Devils will have some dedicated controller peripherals to enhance the operating experience of the phone.

Another reason why there are no blockbuster games on mobile phones is the difference in charging mechanisms. Console games are often a "one-shot deal", with players paying a certain amount of money to purchase a complete game. This method helps game developers quickly withdraw funds.

Moreover, the prices of games on the NS are not cheap. The digital version of the recently popular "Animal Crossing" costs 380 yuan, and the physical version is double that. Therefore, once a certain game is released, the developer will also make a lot of money, so it will be motivated to develop more and more fun games.

Mobile games often adopt a free model, first attracting users through game content, and then achieving profits through membership fees and "krypton gold". Although the profits of many mobile games are higher than those of some "AAA" masterpieces, the success of many mobile games does not rely on the quality of the game itself, but relies on operational activities to attract players to "krypton gold". At the same time, mobile games need to maintain their popularity through continuous activities and attract more “krypton gold” from players. Therefore, the operation method of mobile games is completely different from the "one-and-done sale" of console games.

All in all, the mobile phone is not a professional game console, and there is a big gap between it and the NS in terms of somatosensory operation. Moreover, the development ideas and profit models of mobile games and console games are completely different, so it is difficult for mobile phones to produce games that can be called "masterpieces." But for many players, mobile games only need to be interesting and fun. Whether it is a "masterpiece" or not is not important.

There is a saying that every profession has its own specialization, and that’s actually what it means!

In the past, PC graphics cards were stronger than those of game consoles, but the game efficiency and image quality on PCs did not reach the level of game consoles. The main reason is that PCs are not like game consoles and can go deep into the bottom layer of the API. Take advantage of your processor and graphics card. This problem was completely corrected after Microsoft released DX12, and the gap between high-end PCs and game consoles was finally reflected! Because in the early days of game consoles, its development tools could directly penetrate into the bottom layer of the hardware and tap out the maximum possible strength of the hardware, while PCs were not so efficient in the past.

Back to mobile phones and NS, although NS only uses NVIDIA’s Tegra X1, whether it is development tools or actual games, for games, the environment of NS is obviously more comfortable and can The performance of Tegra X1 is fully utilized, and the game does not particularly pursue image quality. The 1080P resolution and low special effects emphasize the artistic visual experience. What's more important is that most game companies are still used to developing games on PCs and game consoles, so we can see so many masterpieces on PC and game consoles, and the effects look better than those on mobile phones!

As for mobile phone chips, in fact, the graphics of some games have surpassed that of NS, but you have seen relatively few of them, and the mobile phone environment is not all developed for games. In terms of picture quality and frame rate, Yes, there is a certain discount. The key is that as a mobile platform, most mobile phones cannot produce so many game masterpieces. On the one hand, it is related to the willingness of manufacturers to develop. After all, how many manufacturers can match Nintendo's level of game software development capabilities? On the other hand, everyone's vision is blocked by several popular games, and they can only see pesticides, chickens, etc. In fact, there are many interesting 3D games in Google's Google Play store, both in Japan and the United States.

Of course, the main reason is that manufacturers are unwilling to put too much energy into the development of mobile games. For many manufacturers, mobile phones are a place to make quick money, and mobile phone operations are not suitable for some games, and Mobile phones are too big and have too many games. Even if you spend a lot of money and energy to make a game that you think is good, can you guarantee that it is better than pesticides and better than Fortnite? Moreover, mobile games are now basically free games that are profitable through in-game purchases. This is why many manufacturers are unwilling to put games on mobile phones, especially stand-alone games. If you put it on a game platform, you can still sell it for money, and you can get DLC to make money, and it doesn't affect in-app purchases. If you put it on a mobile phone, if you put in the effort to make a game and no one downloads it, then isn't that a chicken-and-egg affair?

Therefore, the current model of mobile phones is destined to be impossible to produce masterpieces like game consoles. Even though the NS performance may not be as strong as the current flagship mobile phones, it is a professional game console after all!

Because mobile phones are not a professional gaming platform after all. Although many mobile phones are used and the chip performance of mobile phones is getting stronger and stronger, a single operation method is destined not to become a professional gaming platform. Why Nintendo NS, which is lagging behind mobile phones in performance, can become a gaming platform? On the one hand, NS itself provides a variety of control methods, such as somatosensory devices; and Paradise’s long-term influence in the gaming field makes game developers willing to develop games for NS, and it is beneficial Pictureable.

From the perspective of the hardware itself, although the performance of the NS is no longer excellent, because the hardware is highly unified, game developers can develop games for the NS in a very targeted manner without having to face Thousands of hardware configurations on mobile phones require complex optimization, so even if the NS performance is not strong, game developers can achieve good image quality and performance through good optimization.

The Nintendo NS game console’s built-in control of Annie and external somatosensory devices are not comparable to mobile phones. Even mobile phones can be connected to external game devices, and the experience is uneven, so game developers cannot make corresponding adjustments. Development becomes more difficult. In addition, in addition to playing games, a mobile phone also needs to make calls, surf the Internet, and watch videos. However, the 4000 mAh battery capacity of mainstream mobile phones is simply not enough, and most of the screens are not big enough. The gaming experience suddenly lags behind the NS. Therefore, when it comes to developing games, everyone is more willing to launch game masterpieces on the NS.

ns masterpiece? Doesn't ns only need 897 to clear the store? Don’t we already have three mobile game masterpieces? If you want to compare games with the foreign server ns, you should use the foreign server mobile phone to compare, right? The foreign server of Genting Zhiyi mobile game has been open for two months. What does it mean that it is not a hit?

Let me tell you the answer first, because the performance of mobile phone chips is indeed not as strong as that of ns. How strong is the performance? Not only the main frequency, but also the instruction set. How powerful is a 2GHz chip that can only do addition and subtraction? Or is 1GHz more capable of doing multiplication and division?

ns professional game console, mobile phone is a tool, how much bigger does it need to be?

Mobile phone chips are more powerful than switch, but the heat dissipation of switch is not at the same level as that of mobile phones. A whole piece of aluminum, and a fan to dissipate heat, and many games on the switch are specially optimized. Mobile games are all about making money first, and don’t care about optimization, just make do with it [face covering] The switch is different, some optimizations It’s like a wizard who is as bad as a Polish jackass,
