The Tomahawk should be the most controversial hardware product recently, because it was born with the name of the game console! Someone mocked it and thought it was an Android box? There are also hopes that it can break Microsoft's game rules? However, it is a mare that is out of the way!
When I received F1, I was really taken aback. In addition to the SF box, such a large volume, I thought my wife bought big things in the Tmall again. The result is the Battle Axe F1. Well, it's bigger than I think.
Remove the courier packaging, the amount of the next, each length and width of 28CM, 14CM high square packaging, the outside is designed for colored paper, the information is concise, models, advertising words, the lower left corner is version information. Below is the starting game cover.
Push down F1, the bottom is the product features, system requirements, cooperation platform and other information.
Withdrawing the outer colored paper, the image of F1 is exposed on the front, and people are full of expectation.
Compared to outer colored paper, the box is more restrained and uses a black tone. Only a touch of the word Fighter F1. Remove the top cover of the box, it is today's protagonist - Battle Axe F1.
This unpacking process will not be described in any more detail. I would like to say a few things that I think are special. For example, on the placement of accessories, a layer of graphic paper is designed to block and give people a feeling of continuous dismantling of gifts. Personally feel quite characteristic.
Above the host and accessories, there is a layer of buffer cotton protection to prevent host accessories and other damage during transportation.
From these two points, I think the Tomahawk has been doing some work on the packaging and wants to give the player an exquisite gift. Of course, the specifics are not good, but it is not enough to see packaging. Let's go down!
F1 is a square design. A paint panel is designed in the middle to make the overall display of the host computer less monotonous. The others are matte materials.
Viewed from the front, the overall structure is relatively simple. The structure is divided into upper and lower layers. The center is concave and the upper right corner is printed with the pinyin of the axe.
The back is more abundant, HDMI, USB3.0, LAN, power interfaces are all here, there are four barrier-type cooling outlets on the left and right up and down.
The bottom four corners are rubber feet, which have good slip resistance and are very stable. There are children at home and are not afraid of being pushed down casually. Next to the hard disk switch.
Anti-slip mat is also estimated to increase the space for heat dissipation and is of a more moderate height.
Computer-savvy players are familiar with standard interfaces. The installation is also very simple and the Tomahawk also provides graphical operations. However, I personally think that if you really plan to play for a long time, you still have to buy the Elite version directly. The built-in hard disk is always better than the external one, and there is also a high-powered wireless charging.
After reading the previous introduction, wit you found no power button. The power button is hidden in the upper right corner. Touch-type electrostatic switch, dark yellow during standby, and blue during startup.
After powering on, the middle recessed design has a breathing light, which is the main shade of blue for the axe.
The introduction of the basic host is this, then, is the handle with the experience can not be separated, if the host determines the fluency of the game, then the handle is to control the comfort!
Known as the best model from 24 sets of molds, and after more than 300 players blindly measured the handle. As a player, as a consumer, I actually don't care about this. Holding Shu is not comfortable, according to the cool and cool. These are the key points! Hey, talk about it. Return to the topic, F1 uses the standard architecture of the X360, this architecture, the White God can easily get started, everything!
Rocker levers are designed on the upper left and lower right respectively. There are bumps on the top of the cap and the fingers are not easy to slip. The lower left corner is a cross-shaped key, positioning operation with high precision, playing fighting games, more easily zoom in, even strokes operation.
The XYAB button in the upper right corner is a classic four-color design. The key response is sensitive. The keystroke distance is moderate. It is not easy to press it incorrectly. If you can add a breathing light design, it will feel more cool. After playing for about two weeks, I have not found any decolorization of the buttons.
The back is a conventional LT, LB, RT, RB. The key response is much more crisp than other keys, playing a jamming game, accelerating control, and a clear sense of class. In the middle is the charging interface and the printed LOGO.
The bottom is relatively simple, a nameplate identifies the handle parameters. And distributed three screws.
At first sight, Tomahawk handles are not much different, but they are still a bit different. The VIEW button was modified to short press the screenshot and long press the video. The middle LOGO button bears the role of recalling shortcut menus and connections.
Due to the use of skin-like materials, it is quite comfortable to grasp and play, of course, it is also easy to stick dust. The weight of 230G may be slightly heavier for female players and male players are no pressure. It is hoped that the Tomahawk will have a special handle for female players and children in the later stages.
The basic appearance of the host handle is introduced here, hey, forgot to attach the accessories to the family map.
Look at these two parts maps, you may find that wit, relative to other chargers and other equipment, Tomahawk or custom, basically polygonal and other angular design, and all with an ax LOGO. As for what you can read here? I will not say much!
FUZE OS articles
Power on, press the power button shortly, the handle will be connected at the beginning, then the wifi connection, registration and so on. I will not describe more. The entire interface is divided into three levels. Rocker up and down, left and right, B button to confirm.
At the top is the personal center, which covers the download center, wallet, settings, friends, handle connections and more.
The middle level is a 3D icon design. You can slide left and right to select different functions, such as game center, local video, live panda, and music video.
And then down will enter the interface of the corresponding functional area, such as the game center, music video.
Specific or the small video to the more intuitive.
Basically the entire OS, the logic is clearer, transition animations, and background music are also OK. In addition to some small BUG, ​​for example, I clearly landed on LeTV, still want me to pay to watch? It seems that the integration is not good enough. In addition, in the process of playing video and the like, adjusting the volume goes to setting in the personal center. It is very inconvenient. I hope to change this adjustment to the shortcut menu later or to adjust it with the handle.
Game experience
At present, the Tomahawk has signed more than 70 games, of which the more well-known is the Warriors. Personally like the three-country TV drama, the game is like the degree of love, because the story is changed by the island country. . . Some of the characters are difficult to accept.
Basically every day will play for 2 hours, smooth, and there is no drop frame situation. The resolution is good, of course, if you look closely, you may be worse. However, which one will play the game up close? Not afraid of nearsightedness 900 degrees?
Other games such as Drift Bars and Grandpa are fun, and although individuals don't like to play, they are liked by their wives.
The number of games is still not enough, but on the classification, there is still a preliminary type, expect to sign more masterpieces in the future, such as the NBA2K series, Need for Speed ​​and so on...
Conclusion:
As the first generation host of the Battle Axe, it is true that they have intentions, but the preparation is not enough, the number of games is not enough, and the number of people covered is small. As far as I am concerned, even if there are major sports such as the Three Kingdoms or Need for Speed, I would not fall in love with this console if there are no NBA 2K or other sports games. After all, the game is the decision whether you love the host. The appearance of the Battle Axe reminded me of the original millet and was laughed at. However, who will know it in the future?
Finally, I would like to say: If we can consolidate the quality of the game, perhaps the Tomahawk is the new choice for home consoles?
