Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Great Move (I)
The emergence of "Dawn" once again led a new trend in the game industry, and many people once again saw the change in the direction of the game industry due to the breakthrough of game hardware.
This is a real hardware breakthrough, after the emergence of a large number of VR games, especially various important masterpieces, the sales of VR-related equipment have exploded.
Where there is a market, there is a motivation for research and development, and in just one or two years, the performance of VR equipment has improved a lot.
Including the lightness of VR equipment, the resolution of the screen, and the built-in functions of the VR itself, have been greatly improved.
For gamers who love VR games, they will be excited about every advancement in VR equipment, and at the same time, they will be distressed to see their thinning wallets.
Now VR equipment, there is a new model in half a year, last year's equipment and this year's equipment, the gap can be said to be amazing, and the gap between different price points is also very obvious.
Similarly, after the explosion of VR games, the sales of various game peripherals have also ushered in a wave of explosive growth, with more and more variety, and the price is now getting lower and lower.
In today's VR games, there is no way to break through the operation mode with somatosensory operation as the core, and various peripherals are designed to increase the degree of realism of the player's game and save the player's physical strength at the same time.
Today's VR gaming chairs, as well as similar related peripherals, are designed with this idea, and the player completes the control of the game character through a small number of operations.
For the foreseeable period of time, it will be difficult for players to break through this mode of operation due to the development of game-related technology.
It can be said that now the VR game market has completed its rise and accumulation, and is on the verge of a real explosion.
Several game developers who were in a wait-and-see state before have also begun to make moves, but now the biggest moves are still the first-party manufacturers that occupy the top of the pyramid.
Their biggest action now is to directly reduce the price of VR equipment and somatosensory equipment, several giants have already had related companies, this time directly real money price reduction, many people feel that these devices have reached the point of selling one and losing one.
Because of the increase in sales and production, the cost of VR equipment has dropped a lot, and this new price reduction plan directly makes players who were still waiting to stop waiting.
This is a plan that has always burned money, and the only purpose is to expand the base of players and directly support the market volume.
Of course, these first-party giants will not make wedding dresses for others, and most of the devices that enjoy the price reduction plan are tied to their own platforms, or they will require their first-party games to make relevant targeted designs for these devices.
The wind has risen, but this time, it is not easy for ordinary manufacturers to follow the trend.
At a time when mobile is booming, it is not difficult for an average game developer to move from the original console or PC game to mobile games. The difficulty of developing a mobile game is not about the technology, but about the creativity.
However, this time, the storm of VR masterpieces led by "Dawn" is not something that any game company can follow.
The collective entry of the game giants has put the production team that was originally making those simple VR games into a predicament, and players who have been raised by the big games have no patience to play those small-made games anymore.
However, when players searched the market, they found that if they wanted to play a top-notch VR masterpiece, it seemed that they could not find a game that could match the quality of the future Oasis works.
has become a phenomenal game, and there is no doubt that "Dawn", which occupies the top spot in VR games now, and even "Time and Space Code", the VR test work of the future Oasis, does not seem to have any opponents.
In role-playing VR games, Future Oasis's works are really unique, one or even several positions ahead of other manufacturers.
Many game companies have evaluated and found that they will not be able to make a game that can match Dawn for at least five years.
It's a game that spans the ages, and it's amazing.
Many people feel that with the game "Dawn", it is enough to support the future oasis for more than five years. Like an MMORPG in its prime, a game can endure for years. Not to mention a cross-generational work.
The only good news for the major game manufacturers is that the future Oasis is now limited in personnel and cannot reach every corner, and there is still a lot of room for them to play.
The RPG genre can't beat it, they can choose to differentiate the competition, start with other genres, or rely on genius game creativity to win.
And in the hands of those giants, there are also those old game IPs that are enough to support the scene, and the VR version of these new games is still something that many players have been waiting for for a long time.

The game industry is turbulent, and as the protagonist of this storm, Future Oasis is not idle now.
Future Oasis has completed a lot of technical verification in the game "Dawn", and most of these technologies come from the Unreal Studio that Su Li is in charge of.
These technologies are all prepared for the next game. From its establishment to the present, this studio is more like a scientific research center, spending a lot of time on technology research and development and incubation.
After the launch of "Dawn", the future oasis has found a new gold mine.
And now, they're going to turn the output of this gold mine into the next even more amazing piece.
Su Li feels that the current Unreal Studio is almost the time to start a specific game project.
And this new game, needs more personnel.
While players were still immersed in the world of "Dawn", some people suddenly discovered that Future Oasis had started a new round of recruitment, and some headhunting companies also received relevant needs from Future Oasis.
The recruitment is clearly for new projects, but this time the future needs of Oasis are somewhat complex. In particular, they wanted to recruit game designers with different professional backgrounds, and began to seek some collaborations with academia.
Su Li can be said to be a game designer with a professional background, taking the route from programming to design, but the professional background of many well-known game designers has nothing to do with games.
For example, the famous ghost crab was a doctor of marine biology before making the game.
This time, Future Oasis also hopes to recruit some similar game designers with various professional backgrounds.
