Chapter 999: The Divine Work Is Coming (Three Watches)
Hearing the news, the players were all shocked.
Chen Mo is too much, and he wants to lose again??
I've never heard that digital products have been sold, and the hardware configuration is upgraded for free!
What's more, this kind of hardware configuration upgrade is too powerful, and the storage capacity is directly expanded by ten times!
If calculated according to the market price, Chen Mo is indeed a loss, how much does a hard disk with ten times the storage capacity cost?
Many players are reminded of what Chen Mo said in the interview before: When the hard disk storage technology is innovated, "Grand Theft Auto" will be released.
Isn't that coming too fast? Just like Chen Mo can pinch and calculate, he has already calculated that the hard disk storage technology will innovate at this time!
Well, definitely got the inside information, it must be so!
While many players in the matrix game cabin are happy to pick up a high-end hard disk for nothing, they are also looking forward to it, should Chen Mo not announce the specific release date of "Grand Theft Auto", which is really going to be released, right? ?
……
Actually, Chen Mo didn't lose much.
The new hard disk storage technology is indeed a big improvement over the previous technology, but this process is not as exaggerated as the cost increase by a factor of ten. It costs only about twice as much as the original hard drive storage technology.
Moreover, this technology is not completely ahead of its time, let alone uncrackable. As long as foreign technology companies get a new hard drive, and spend a lot of energy on research for a year and a half, most of them can also be manufactured.
Therefore, this technology is equivalent to providing Chen Mo with a time difference, within which he can call the wind and rain at will, but it will not completely leave other technology companies in the world behind.
Besides, Chen Mo had already reserved a lot of price space in the price of the matrix game cabin, especially the foreign matrix game cabin, and the extra money was enough for them to buy more than a hundred more hard disks for the game cabin......
But in any case, this wave of operations did make players grateful to Dade and shouted that Celent was too conscientious.
And more importantly, the new hard drive that has been replaced this time has been pre-installed with resources related to Grand Theft Auto, in addition to other resources in some of the resource library. The resources in the hard disk have undergone complex encryption, and the resources in the entire resource library have intellectual property rights, and other game companies will have to suffer lawsuits if they use them.
Chen Mo's "Grand Theft Auto" can be said to be unprecedented in terms of resources, the next generation of VR technology has higher requirements for game capacity, this time most of the resources are directly pre-installed in the hard disk, players can activate it as long as they buy the game, it is still very convenient.
After getting a new hard drive, players in the Matrix Game Pod also found very exciting news that the Grand Theft Auto game entrance has appeared in Oasis!
This is a helicopter with a new helipad behind the player's waterfront mansion, where the helicopter is parked. It's just that the player can't open the helicopter's hatch now, let alone operate it.
But obviously, Chen Mo shouldn't just make a helicopter for players to play, this helicopter should exist as the entrance to "Grand Theft Auto", but it hasn't been activated yet.
Subsequently, Chen Mo announced a good news, that is, because of the development of storage technology, "Grand Theft Auto" can already provide players with the best next-generation VR experience, so the release time of this game has been determined, June 7th!
As for the selling price, the domestic version is 3680 soft sister coins, and the international version is 660 US dollars.
This price is still unexpected by many players, because it is too expensive!
In fact, Chen Mo's single game is rarely sold at this price, and the price of normal VR games is basically about 1980, and those that are over 3000 are basically N-in-one enhanced versions with very rich game content.
But this time it's obviously not N-in-one, "Grand Theft Auto" is a single VR game, but the price is nearly twice as expensive as the average triple-A game masterpiece.
Of course, there are differences in R&D costs for different platforms, but in any case, the differences will not be so large. It can be seen from the previous price of "Detroit: Become Human" that the price of "Grand Theft Auto" is definitely on the expensive side.
Although a large number of players left messages saying "goodbye" after seeing this price, players in the matrix game cabin said that they were emotionally stable and looked forward to the game even more.
Because judging from the urine nature of so many years, Chen Mo will definitely not set prices indiscriminately, the price he sets is often worth the money, since this game is expensive, it means that its research and development cost is definitely much higher than other games; In addition, for players who are willing to spend 300,000 yuan to buy a matrix game cabin, the game is not completely unacceptable if it is more than 1,000 yuan, the key is to see how much the game can do and what kind of feelings it can bring to players.
……
……
On June 7, Grand Theft Auto officially opened for purchase.
After the Thunder Games platform opened the purchase of "Grand Theft Auto", a large number of players instantly poured in and paid money to activate the game qualification of "Grand Theft Auto".
Most of these players are loyal fans of Chen Mo, on the one hand, they have great trust in Chen Mo's new game, and on the other hand, because the games in the matrix game cabin are indeed in a scarce state, so far most players of "Detroit: Become Human" have been tired of playing and urgently need a better game to continue their travel experience.
Those anchors at home and abroad naturally started the live broadcast of "Grand Theft Auto" for the first time.
Having said that, the next-generation VR technology is not too friendly to the live broadcast industry at the moment, because the complex feelings that the streamers get in the matrix game pod are not felt by the audience in the live broadcast room. Audiences can still only get visual and auditory stimulation, which is far worse than playing in person.
Fortunately, the cinematic mode of the matrix game pod makes up for this problem to a certain extent.
The VR experience area of the Thunder Interactive Entertainment Headquarters is naturally overcrowded, but those experienced old players all come to line up early, so they can naturally play as soon as possible.
Zou Zhuo has already occupied a matrix game pod and is ready to start a live broadcast to play "Grand Theft Auto".
It's impossible to buy a matrix game cabin by yourself, why buy it so expensive, you can only rub the matrix game cabin in the experience area to maintain the live broadcast.
Lie down in the matrix game pod and wake up in a seaside mansion.
Zou Zhuo played with his dog for a while, ended his daily nonsense time with the audience, and then came to the entrance of the "Grand Theft Auto" game, which is the tarmac.
This time, the door of the helicopter was already open, and Zou Zhuo sat on the helicopter, and he didn't need to operate it, the helicopter automatically started and flew into the air.
The sound of the propeller is very noisy, but this feeling of riding a helicopter is also very fresh, and Zou Zhuo observes the situation outside through the glass on the helicopter.
Soon, the helicopter had already flown to the vast sea, and about two minutes later, Zou Zhuo saw a coastline in front of him, and the outline of Los Santos was faintly visible.
From a distance, the city is far larger than Zou Zhuo could have imagined.
