Chapter 1041: Players who are emotional when they see the new trailer (three more)
As soon as these two announcements were announced, they instantly sparked a big discussion in the entire game industry.
Not only the players, but even the major game manufacturers were very surprised, Chen Mo was crazy?
Chen Mo said that he was subsidizing 10,000 US dollars for each matrix game cabin, but in fact, he also further lowered the profit margin of the matrix game cabin. The cost of the game cabin, including R&D, promotion and other aspects, is about 250,000 yuan per game cabin, and the actual price is 300,000 yuan.
And now, the price of the matrix game cabin has dropped by 100,000 yuan, and the original price of the game cabin is about 300,000 yuan, and now it can be bought at a price of more than 200,000 yuan during the promotion period!
While it is unaffordable for those who can't afford it, it's a very, very powerful discount for those who have been hesitating, as the price is close to the traditional high-end VR gaming pod.
All players know that no matter how high the configuration of the traditional high-end VR game pod, it is absolutely impossible to compare with the next-generation VR of the matrix game pod!
I haven't heard of any new technological innovations, and I haven't heard that the price of raw materials for the game cabin has dropped, that is to say, Chen Mo is mostly selling it at a loss in order to promote the matrix game cabin.
This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for those manufacturers of traditional VR game pods, because the only advantage of traditional VR game pods over matrix game pods may be that they are slightly cheaper, but now even this advantage of cheapness is gone.
However, for game developers all over the world, Chen Mo released another great news, that is, he did not desperately protect the cash cow of the matrix game cabin, on the contrary, Chen Mo's decision to open source the matrix game cabin editor and artificial intelligence template means that he welcomes game companies all over the world to settle in the Thunder game platform, and even welcomes game companies around the world to share the next generation of VR games.
Of course, the games developed by these game companies will definitely provide Chen Mo with a lot of shares when they land in the matrix game cabin and on the Thunder game platform, which is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing. But being able to open source these things very generously still made everyone feel at Chen Mo's broad mind.
These two decisions seem to be chic, but in fact, Chen Mo is also under a lot of pressure.
He had to make several trips to the game committee, repeatedly explaining to these people the benefits of the price reduction of the matrix game pod, and the importance of open-source R&D tools and enriching the next-generation VR game library.
It's inevitable to use a few more wisdom reduction auras at hand.
However, Chen Mo's open-source R&D tools for next-generation VR are just to allow more manufacturers to participate in the R&D of next-generation VR games, so that the matrix game cabin can be promoted faster. For some special areas in next-generation VR, Chen Mo will never let go.
For example, the field of catering in the virtual world.
Fields like this that involve the future "lifeblood" of the virtual world will not be opened. In other words, the games made by other game companies are just games, and for Chen Mo, "Oasis" is his real killer feature.
……
……
With Jarvis' help, the efficiency of making games has improved dramatically.
Although the cost of using Jarvis may be more expensive than raising half of the R&D team, after all, there is a big advantage, that is, speed.
When it comes to game making, time is money.
Just like some real estate companies adhere to the concept of "fast" and require the design institute to produce design drawings overnight, all projects are as desperate as chicken blood, just to be in a hurry.
Of course, this concept of development is very unhealthy and oppressive for employees, but I have to admit that it is very effective.
The same is true for the game industry, the reason why traditional conscientious developers are adhering to the attitude of "slow work and meticulous work" and "N years of sharpening a sword" is mainly because under the original technical conditions, "speed" and "quality" are often unable to achieve both, and in order to ensure quality, we can only sacrifice speed as a last resort.
But for players, on the premise of ensuring quality, the faster the better.
Think about the torment of waiting for the sequel, think about the fear of being dominated by infinite ticket jumps, and think about the loss of waiting for a year or two to complete the game in a few hours......
For Chen Mo, the acceleration of R&D brought by Jarvis is something that cannot be desired, because the most extravagant thing is time.
It's never too fast to develop a game.
Before the real next-gen VR game "Oasis" was launched, he still had a big hole to fill.
And before he starts filling in this big hole, he has another surprise for the players.
Very, very big surprise.
……
On July 14, Chen Mo's Weibo released another promotional video without warning.
Why say "again"?
Because less than a month has passed since the release of the promotional video for the last game "Iron Man".
One new game a month, and it is a high-quality top work, and the biggest emotion of players in addition to joy is: It's over, the game is almost unbearable!
Have to shell out more than a thousand dollars every month to buy games? Can't live this day?
But fortunately, for players with matrix game pods, they don't care too much about the money they pay for the game, but most people just think that the game is too small.
"The trailer for the new game is out! That's too fast, isn't it?! ”
"What kind of game can you make every month? This is the same speed as some Internet gods! ”
"Why is this "Iron Man", which I just bought last month, and I don't have time to play it and still eat ashes, and in a blink of an eye, a new game is coming again?"
"The local tyrant with the matrix game cabin still needs to save money to buy games? Hehe, I don't believe it at all! ”
"Let's see what the new game is about?"
"Ouch......"
"This, this Nima!"
"Farewell! Leave! ”
As soon as the players saw the beginning of this promotional video, they were not calm and said goodbye one after another.
Several players got emotional and said, "If I buy this game, I'm a dog!"
There are also a few players who said: Get out! Get out with Dark Souls!
The fans of the major anchors are celebrating and telling each other, which is even happier than the New Year.
And many anchors on the live broadcast platform are already thinking about what reason should be used to take leave in the days when the game is released.
The promotional video released by Chen Mo is not very long, less than five minutes, and a large part of the material in it is based on the real picture of the game.
But it is precisely the live picture of the game that makes players instantly understand the urine nature of this game.
Yes, the name of the game is:
Bloodborne.
