LeTV Game Hall previews perfect cross-screen experience to create a complete TV game

Although smart TVs account for an increasing share of the TV market, online on-demand video is becoming more and more popular, and the number of TV games is also increasing dramatically, according to recent surveys, the device most commonly used by most users to watch videos and play games at home is still their smartphone, accounting for an astonishing 70%.

Judging from common sense, a TV with more stunning audio-visual effects is more suitable for relaxing at home, and also for relaxing the eyes that have been tortured by the small screen of the mobile phone all day. However, people have been immersed in the ecosystem of mobile phones. On their mobile phones, they have historical records of the dramas they are following and archives of the games they are playing. Why should they abandon the comfort of mobile phones and switch to TVs where everything has to be done from scratch?

What's more, TV games have always been limited by control modes, hardware functions and R&D costs, and the quality is not satisfactory. They cannot be compared with mobile games, which benefit from the powerful functions of mobile phones, clear profit models, and large quantities and excellent quality. At this time, LeTV gave us a perfect solution to this problem, which combines the shock of a large screen with the precise operation of a small screen, and does not require users to leave their familiar environment, so that they can easily get a perfect gaming experience. This is screen projection.

The revolutionary gameplay of LeBo Game Hall TV games

LeTV Game Hall will be launched on the LeTV platform on September 19, attempting to inject a shot in the arm to the sluggish TV game market with the new screen projection model. We have already obtained the installation package of LeTV Game Hall in advance. Let’s take a look at how LeTV is doing in this step.

After installing LeTV Game Hall on a smart TV (or TV box), you can see that a large number of excellent mobile games have been collected in the hall. I was a little confused because as far as I know, big games such as "Need for Speed" and "Dungeon Hunter" have not been launched on TV versions, and how can such large games run smoothly on TVs with insufficient functions, insufficient capacity, and difficult control? There is no shortage of TV game halls at present, but most of them are small games with simple operations and rough graphics.

After freeing up some space in the disk management of the box, I hurried to the game hall to download the recently popular "CSR2" to play. After clicking on the download on the TV, the phone received a notification. After clicking it, the phone entered the "CSR2" download interface of the appstore. It turns out that these games are to be run on the phone, and then played on the TV through LeTV, so the problems of capacity, function, and control are perfectly solved with the help of the phone. No wonder the number and quality of games in the LeTV game hall are so high, it turns out that it is due to the powerful function and game library of the phone.

Game effect test

So, the next question is, is the screen projection effect guaranteed? How are the pictures and frame rates? Since it is very convenient without downloading additional games, let's try out the effects of several games that we usually play. The games tested this time include the evergreen mobile game "COC", the top mobile MOBA "Vainglory", and the racing game "CSR2" which is famous for its sound and picture effects.

From the data in the lower right corner of the screenshot, we can see that the bitrate of COC and Vainglory is as high as over 1000Kbps, and the frame rate is also stable at around 60 frames. The actual gaming experience is very good, and after being projected on the TV, the details that are not easy to notice on the phone are also presented one by one, which is impressive. Even the popular racing game CSR2 can have an excellent performance of more than 40 frames with the support of LeTV Cast (the same frame rate as on iPhone6s Plus). The amazing picture effect confined to the small screen is also breathtaking on the big screen, and the roar of the car under the TV speakers is even more exciting.

However, I found that although the games I often play on my phone, such as COC and Vainglory, look more beautiful on TV, I still need to look down at the phone screen from time to time when playing through LeBo because of the need for precise clicks, which makes the gaming experience not very good. The games recommended in LeBo's game lobby seem to be carefully selected, and playing on TV is not restricted by the phone screen.

What has LeTV brought to the gaming industry through screen projection?

In foreign game markets, living room games are the most important game scene, while in China, most of our games are played through PCs and mobile phones. The previous decline of living room games in China was caused by the ban on game consoles and piracy, while the current decline of living room games abroad should be attributed to the conservative mobile game strategies of Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo.

Thanks to the rapid development of mobile computing in recent years, the focus of the game industry has gradually shifted to mobile games. Mobile game manufacturers have explored a unique game development and operation profit model, which has been loved by gamers. The era of the extremely long life of traditional game consoles has passed. The cycle of mobile phone hardware being updated once a year or even several times has touched the nerves of traditional hardware manufacturers. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have successively announced semi-upgrade or even full-generation products of hardware upgrades in the past few years, which also hints at their sense of crisis.

However, a single console in the living room cannot occupy the game time of players. Instead, the games on the mobile phones that everyone carries with them consume their leisure time. Compared with the traditional game types on traditional game consoles, today's games can provide higher game stickiness, more frequent positive feedback, and longer game life. So in fact, the current trend of games should not be pure console games, nor the meaningless design of downgrading streaming from PS4 to PSV. On the contrary, the mode of upscaling the screen from mobile phones to smart TVs will definitely be the next breakthrough point for TV games.

In short, whether you are a mobile game enthusiast or not, it is recommended that you try LeTV's first LeTV Game Hall on September 19 if you have a smart TV or TV box at home, and make full use of the devices at home. You will definitely like the gaming experience of the small screen instantly turning into a big screen.
