The popularity of GTA has caught players and various game media by surprise, and many people have not even expected that there will be so many cloud players in this game!

Yes, everyone knows that GTA is a big move that Chen Mo held back this year, and even Chen Mo himself touted this game before the game was released, which shows the difference in this game.

But there are still some people who are not too optimistic about this game, for the simple reason that the platform.

The price of the matrix game cabin is 300,000, and the production capacity is limited, so far the number of matrix game cabins is far inferior to that of PC, even the number of traditional game cabins.

There are as many as 100 million traditional VR users in China, and the matrix game pod has only sold nearly 10 million units in the world so far due to price and production capacity.

Judging from the experience of Chen Mo's previous life, it is already a very shocking data that a new game device can sell 10 million, but the parallel world has its own national conditions, and the sales of the matrix game cabin are blessed by other factors.

The reason why the sales of mobile phones and PCs are much higher than those of specialized game consoles is that these two devices play an irreplaceable role in people's daily life. For both devices, games are just one of the features, and they can be said to be indispensable to every aspect of the player's life.

Specialized game consoles are only products for hardcore players, and the sales volume is naturally impossible to compare with mobile phones and PCs.

As for the matrix game cabin, its significance is not only for games and entertainment, but also for a little bit of mobile phone, PC or matrix glasses, which has a subversive impact on people's daily life and profoundly changes the way of life of players.

Therefore, in the long run, people in this world are very optimistic about the matrix game cabin, and this sales will definitely continue to rise.

In fact, there have been traditional VR game cabins to open the way for the matrix game cabin, players in this world are very much identified with the game cabin, at present, there are as many as 100 million traditional VR users in China, and the world has reached about 800 million, these people can all be regarded as potential user groups of matrix game cabins.

Judging by this standard, the nearly 10 million sales volume of the matrix game cabin is only in a state of development compared with the traditional VR industry.

It's no wonder that many people didn't have such expectations for GTA at first, after all, it is almost inevitable that it will break away from the original traditional VR platform and be exclusive to the new matrix game cabin, and the sales and influence will be limited.

Chen Mo's previous games casually sold millions or tens of millions of copies, and phenomenal VR games such as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" broke 40 million copies or even approached 50 million, and stand-alone games like "The End of America" and "The Legend of Zelda" also broke 10 million sales, which shows Chen Mo's success in the traditional VR field.

However, the Matrix Pod has only sold less than 10 million so far, so you can't expect all Matrix Pod users to pay for GTA, right? No matter how good the game is, it depends on the player's preferences and tastes.

As a result, as soon as the game was launched, these declining people were shocked, judging from the popularity of major live broadcast sites and video sites, this game is even more popular than many previous phenomenal VR games!

It is certainly impossible to say that all the players who follow GTA have bought matrix game pods and games, that is, more than half, or even 90% of these people are cloud players.

Tuban live broadcast website, Tuban video website, Tuban game forum, Weibo and Q&A website hot search list...... GTA-related elements can be found in almost every place related to the game.

It can be said that it can be so popular just by relying on the support of cloud players, which can be said to be incredible.

You know, a very key point of the next-generation VR emphasized by the matrix game pod is immersion. One of the game's important selling points is that players really get into the game and do the walking, shooting, driving, and airplane operations by themselves.

But cloud players can't experience this feeling at all, they can only watch the anchor kill all sides in the game just like watching a traditional game, and this sense of immersion is completely inexperienced.

But even so, GTA is still popular with countless cloud players, which shows that this game is not only "selling feelings", it also has rich gameplay and profound connotations. In other words, even if GTA is not a next-gen VR game, but just a traditional PC game or even a handheld game, it still has the characteristics of a hit.

As for why this game is so popular?

In the eyes of players, GTA is an all-in-one game that different players can enjoy differently.

First and foremost, it's a story-driven, crime-themed single-player game.

The urban background of the modern lighthouse country, the multi-protagonist POV narrative, the plot is full of tension, full of cold humor, brain holes and ruthless insinuations to all kinds of stubborn diseases of modern society.

Let's not talk about the three protagonists, let's just say that these various supporting roles include gangsters, drug lords, investors, celebrities, corrupt officials, hackers, movie producers, strippers, office workers, scientists, psychologists, fitness coaches...... Creating so many characters in a single-player game shows the care that goes into building the world.

In this respect, GTA is no different from the previous triple-A titles, and even surpasses them.

Secondly, it is a show-off game that allows players to explore endless possibilities.

Just as players can show off their actions in League of Legends or PUBG, GTA allows players to show off what others can't. And with the help of next-generation VR, players can do almost any theoretically permissible action in this virtual world, which makes it a huge gathering of performers and viewers, and it's not surprising that it's popular on live streaming platforms and video sites.

Finally, it's a driving simulation game with cars, planes, and boats in the setting of a modern cityscape.

Bicycles, motorcycles, sports cars, big trucks, helicopters, propeller planes, fighter jets, water boats, ...... Almost every vehicle you can think of can be bought or grabbed in GTA and driven around Los Santos yourself.

And the game is also full of all kinds of related content, such as racing, aerobatics, skydiving, diving, etc., and the experience is even completely better than many large-scale racing games.

Even if the player is not good at driving, he can continue to hone his driving skills in GTA, and grow from a stunned young man who hits a hole in the door to a veteran driver who turns in a drain. Coupled with the blessing of next-generation VR technology, this driving experience can be said to be unprecedented.

Many rich people spend millions of dollars to modify sports cars, just to get the thrill of extreme speed, but for them, there is a lot of money, and there is only one life. If you drive to more than 200 or even 300 in real life, the chance of surviving is almost 0 as long as you touch it slightly. But in GTA, you don't have to worry about it at all, and you can get almost the same driving experience as in real life.
