Chapter Forty-Four: Looked Down Upon? (Ask for a recommendation~ It's quite fat, but it's slaughtered~)

"Isn't it, it's so expensive? It's twice as expensive as "The Combination of Isaac"! ”

"That is, what era is the pixel art style? Why is it so expensive! ”

"But I'm more interested in how this pixel game costs so much. I checked the cost of official registration is tens of millions of games! ”

"Isn't it? Tens of millions of pixel games? ”

"Am I the only one who noticed? The BGM in the promotional video sounds so good, it turned out to be Miracle Entertainment Chen Gang in charge of the music part! ”

"I think the graphics of the game are pretty good! The snow and the desert are amazing! ”

Many players have been talking about this price.

And many people in the game industry have also been paying attention to "Octopath Traveler", and they discussed it as soon as the promotional video was released.

"Yang Chen is too daring to play! Did you really spend tens of millions of dollars to make a pixel game? ”

"The use of art is particularly brilliant, and the game music is really great, Chen Gang and Miracle Entertainment's soundtrack is not blown, although it is expensive but it is indeed worth the money, but after all, this is a pixel game!"

"Although the cost is very high, including special effects and various light and shadow pictures, I have to admit that although this pixel art performance style is fantastic, the final visual effect is still pixels, and most players should still not buy it."

"The most important thing is that this game is too expensive to sell, although it will probably be able to return to its original cost as long as it is sold for 500,000, but this money can be used to buy discounted 3A masterpieces on major platforms, who will buy a pixel-style JRPG game?"

"Yes, in terms of cost production, it is out of the cost range of independent games, but from the perspective of visual performance, it is still very similar to independent games for most ordinary players."

Many people in the game industry are optimistic.

Although there are game graphics, everyone knows a little bit about this industry, and it can be clearly seen that this one called "Octopath Traveler" is not retro for the sake of retro, and even innovates in a simple pixel style.

But more people are still not optimistic, because pixel games are not mainstream in the first place, let alone JRPGs in the RPG genre?

Even Lin Jiayi, who has always been in this regard, said that similar turn-based RPGs are too restrictive, and ARPG is the mainstream in the future.

JRPGs are already niche games, and with a pixel style, it's a niche game.

The previous "Isaac Bonding" was a crude pixel game, but the brilliant creativity and extremely playable random gameplay were enough to make players ignore his graphics.

But this type of JRPG game, this kind of game in order to tell a good story, can you finish it?

"I'm! Why does this guy say we're inflated? Curse that our game may not even reach 300,000 sales! ”

Wang Yaliang, who had just taken a shower in the room and finished blowing his hair, looked at the information on the laptop in front of him with a mask, grabbed the mouse angrily and slapped it twice, making a snapping sound.

The steel egg that was paralyzed next to the bed and wagging its tail next to "Wangwangwang......" was startled, and suddenly stood up and looked at Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang on the bed.

"Don't scream, don't play." Yang Chen took a red toy the size of a tennis ball from the drawer and threw it aside.

After watching the steel egg happily chase towards the ball, Yang Chen turned his head to look at Wang Yaliang on the bed: "Who sprayed us again?" ”

"I don't know, a post made by someone else in the forum." Wang Yaliang pouted and said very unhappily.

Listening to Wang Yaliang's words, Yang Chen's face couldn't help but show a speechless expression.

An ordinary passerby, you don't even know if it's a man or a woman, just spray it.

Why are you so angry, he still thinks it's some kind of famous game self-media, or some influential person to spray it?

But it's impossible to think about it, is there any game in the same period that can't come and step on yourself.

And everyone is a person in the industry, there is no deep hatred, if you want to play, you also play yin, who will step on yourself openly.

Even if there is, unless the other party is really out of mind, it is more of a drama to promote the game, or the traffic media is simply leading the war.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry." Yang Chen patted Wang Yaliang's arm: "There are many people with rhythm in this kind of person, now they scold us like killing their father's enemy, maybe when the time comes, our game will sell very well, and he will become our real fan again in a blink of an eye." ”

"And there are so many fans who support us, why should we see people who say bad things about us?" Yang Chen smiled and hugged Wang Yaliang next to him, passed his hand from under the other party's armpit, grabbed the hand holding the mouse, and opened the account of the social platform.

Under the tweet message that previously released the promotional news, many players who entered the pit from the game "The Binding of Isaac" have expressed their support for "Octopath Traveler" and Nebula Studios, and many people are amazed by the combination of pixels and modern graphics technology in the game, as well as the amazement of the game's original art.

"I know, too, but I just can't help but pay attention." After glancing at the time, Wang Yaliang slapped Yang Chen's hand holding her away, then took off the mask on his face and pressed the massage.

Yang Chen couldn't help but be speechless.

Compared with the game industry's disbelief in this game, Galaxy Network, which has been distributed as an agent, has carried out the largest promotion through all channels, and players are not more concerned about the theme, but about the content of their own games.

In the JRGP game forum, a large number of players who like JRPGs are discussing the news about Octopath Traveler.

"I heard that there is a new JRPG coming out, which is from the producer who developed "The Binding of Isaac", called "Octopath Traveler", which has been very popular recently."

"I'm sure I've heard about it, but I'm a little uninterested, and I can't stand the pixel art."

"However, the cost has been invested in tens of millions, and it is determined on the official platform, not the kind that the manufacturer boasts about."

"Really invested tens of millions? The makers are crazy, right? What kind of pixels do you have so much money! ”

"No, I saw the picture, although it's a pixel but it's not a pixel in the traditional sense, how to say it, those old JRPG games in the past, and let me play that pixel picture will definitely dissuade me, but this "Octopath Traveler" gives me the feeling, it's not so bad, although it's a pixel, it's particularly beautiful and comfortable."

There are a group of players who pay attention to "Octopath Traveler", and they have been blown out to discuss.

The people who can gather here basically like the JRPG genre, and this type of game, even if you don't want to admit it, has to say that it does seem to be declining, there are too few games in this genre, and even fewer good games.

With the participation of players who have followed Octopath Traveler, more and more people are exchanging opinions.

And many people are interested in the game "Octopath Traveler" and have some curiosity.
