On November 13, the 2015 Tencent Game Carnival (TGC) opened in Shanghai. In this happy gathering of game lovers, a series of well-known game masterpieces, including "League of Legends", "Call of Duty Online", "All People's Super God", "Cross Fire", "All People's Assault", etc., were unveiled, and top team competitions were arranged, with many fans watching. Many novel and interesting game equipment attracted people to stop and watch, and evolved into a new focus in the game field.

Curved monitors dominate gaming desktops, with promising future prospects

One of the major features of the Tencent Game Carnival is that curved monitors occupy almost every corner of the booth. This is the first time that curved monitors have been promoted on such a large scale in a game event. All thanks to the support of Samsung, a heavyweight brand of curved monitors, for the event. Samsung has specially prepared a curved monitor with "good looks and performance" for TGC, bringing players a sense of reality closer to the world of the second dimension.

Compared with traditional flat-panel displays, curved displays can present a certain curvature on the display panel. Since the viewing angle of the user's eyes is relatively concentrated, each display position of the curved display can ensure that the distance from the user's eyes is equal, so that the edge distortion of traditional flat-panel displays can be eliminated, thereby obtaining a high-quality gaming visual experience. The curved display displayed by Samsung this time has a series of innovative functions, such as the "Spiritual Vision Competition" function to optimize and accelerate the response time, eliminate screen smear and afterimage, and the "Automatic Depth of Field Optimization" function can automatically adjust the contrast of different areas of each picture to enhance the naked eye 3D effect. The Game Mode mode brings clear and sharp images. In terms of the competitiveness of the product itself, curved displays have additional appeal to gamers, and the probability of gamers investing in curved displays in the future will be very high.

The current curved display products on the market have greatly increased in categories compared to previous curved display products, and the price has also dropped from several thousand yuan to around two thousand yuan, showing excellent cost performance and purchasing potential. In the market competition with traditional flat-panel displays, they are not inferior at all, and the future market prospects are promising.

Mod trend blows away the haze of PC decline, and peripherals are colliding fiercely

Compared with the general trend of PC's gradual decline, gaming PCs have been in a highly popular state, and even showing a trend of counter-trend growth. As a high-end branch of gaming PCs, Mod has always been a catalyst leading the trend of gaming PC changes and making players excited. At this event, major manufacturers also brought out a large number of cool products that they cooperated with Mod brands, including MSI, NVIDIA, and Intel.

Peripheral products are the carriers for gamers to interact with games, and are an important medium for gamers to input commands and games to receive commands. The gaming performance of peripheral products directly affects the game experience of players. Therefore, large-scale events like Tencent Game Carnival are bound to be a battlefield for peripheral manufacturers to compete.

At the event, we saw the latest products from peripheral manufacturers including Razer, SteelSeries, Xingu, and Xingui. Among them, the competition between the two peripheral giants Razer and SteelSeries attracted the most attention. Razer displayed products including the BlackWidow Green Axis Mechanical Keyboard and Taipan Razer Gaming Mouse, while SteelSeries brought out its own 7GV2 Black Axis Mechanical Keyboard and the first asymmetric gaming mouse Rival to compete.

Mobile gaming is becoming a living room trend

Tencent Games has always been the absolute leader in the domestic mobile game market and is also the mobile game platform with the highest revenue in the world. However, the extremely high popularity of mobile games has not been well transferred to other platforms, so how to transfer mobile games to other platforms has become an issue that Tencent Games has focused on exploring.

At this TGC event, we saw the MiniStation game console that Tencent had just released. It can achieve seamless conversion of mobile platform games to desktop and living room platforms. This is undoubtedly an in-depth layout of Tencent Games.

We have seen that through wireless connection, users can play games on their mobile phones and project the game screen onto the living room TV and large-size display. The gaming experience has been substantially improved. This is a layout of Tencent and also a general trend for the future transformation of mobile games into living room entertainment platforms.
