On the eve of the release of "Cyber Liaozhai", there was a big rhythm.

The price of the game was announced, although the pricing is not the current mainstream 3A pricing of 298, but it also broke through the standard line of 200 and came to the standard of 248 yuan.

Obviously, this is unacceptable to some players.

"No, how dare this forced game be priced at 248? The initial price of Dark Souls at the beginning of the heart is 199, and the historical low is only 99.

I use this money to buy two black souls, one for myself and one for friends, and in the end, can I save some money and eat a spicy hot one? ”

"How dare anyone compare the price of a game that has just been released to the lowest price it has been selling for so many years?

If you think it's too expensive, you can wait a few years before playing, and maybe it will only be 99 at that time. ”

"I want to make money and want to go crazy, okay, I didn't dare to mark the price so expensive, why are you?

Are you comparable to Black Souls or Resident Evil? Uh-uh, don't make me laugh. ”

"This price is placed here, the price is clearly marked, you can buy it if you want to, you don't buy it if you don't want to buy it, why are you so much?"

"Isn't buying a game about whether it's fun or not? The price is only a reference. ”

"What quality do you have to talk to me about a 7.5 game?"

"To be reasonable, Old Tang is very inexperienced in this price.

For players who like this game, even if it is priced at 298, they will definitely buy it, and for players who don't like this game, you will find it expensive even if it is sold for 99, and there is nothing to say. ”

"I've actually said it a long time ago.,The original intention was still a little too cabbage for the pricing of the game.,It's estimated that it's the sequelae of the earliest mirror six-dollar pricing.。

The quality of the game is obviously a big cut above the sales, which makes domestic players criticize domestic games like this.

If Cyber Liaozhai is a game from a big foreign company, I promise it won't have so much rhythm. ”

"No, Luo always makes games cheaper for domestic players, and some people say it? Are you guys really okay? ”

"I'm not saying that there is a problem with Mr. Luo doing this, I mean that this completely leaves no way out for later domestic game developers.

I'm looking forward to the success of the game "Cyber Liaozhai", and if Tianxing has smoothed this path, other major domestic manufacturers will definitely follow suit.

This is a milestone breakthrough in the development of domestic games, okay.

I still hope that Mr. Tang can withstand the pressure and maintain this price.

Everyone's attention can't be limited to how expensive a game is, no matter what game company makes, it will eventually be monetized.

Only if you can make money can you get more financial support in the future game development process.

This is a relatively benign business environment. ”

"Then why can Chuxin do this? Won't other manufacturers follow suit? ”

"Dude, it's ridiculous for you to say that.

Domestic game manufacturers are basically raised by the high profits of mobile games, and a 648 is joking with you?

It's hard to make them willing to invest some money on a stand-alone machine, if you don't let them make money, where are they willing to invest?

You have been cheated so much by the planners of Wuma, and you still don't understand how bottomless these people are? ”

"Why are you so bad? Forget it, you're more bb with you, okay, I'll support the original heart of the game anyway. ”

"Where did Chuxin make so many games? You can't even make Mr. Luo tired. ”

Regarding the issue of pricing, the Internet is indeed very noisy.

Both sides have their own set of truths in it anyway, and no one can convince anyone, so they almost beat the dog's brain.

But there is no doubt that players who think that "Cyber Liaozhai" is overpriced still account for the vast majority.

And this trend is undoubtedly reflected in the sales of the game on the day when it was released.

November 3rd.

The atmosphere of the development team of "Cyber Liaozhai" was unexpectedly heavy.

On the one hand, there is anxiety about future sales, and on the other hand, Ma Bin sits in the development department and sits in the center.

The publicity funds that should be invested have been invested, and the upper limit in advance is staggered with the stars, and Mr. Luo, who is at the beginning, should also stand on the platform.

The production team has done everything they can do, and all that's left is to wait.

The price tag is also something that has been considered a lot by Tianxing.

In four years, the development cost of the entire game of "Cyber Liaozhai" is about 230 million soft sister coins.

Compared with the current mainstream 3A masterpieces, this development cost is actually not too much.

Now in this year, some game companies in Europe and the United States have been developing for seven or eight years at every turn, and the cost of hundreds of millions of dollars has become the norm.

However, it is also a first-line development cost.

If the pricing is too low, there is no point in a project that does not recover the cost.

As for the sales volume......

If the quality of the game can be recognized by everyone, the problem of sales will no longer be a problem.

With the release of the game, the major streamers began to download and play.

The mystery of the game "Cyber Liaozhai" has finally been revealed under the noses of players.

……

The main stage of the game "Cyber Liaozhai" takes place in a place called "Liaozhai City".

The male protagonist Chen Fei, the origin of this man was not explained in the game, but since he became conscious, he was brought up by his old Taoist master who was quite qualified in Huoyun Palace.

With such a master, Chen Fei naturally joined Huoyun Palace after reaching a certain age and became a Taoist priest who stood at the top of countless people in Liaozhai City.

Huoyun Palace is a very special organization, as one of the actual managers of the entire Liaozhai City, although there are also internal institutions such as the prosthetic R&D department and the prosthetic production line.

However, the Fire Cloud Palace does not actually carry out commercial activities to the outside world.

In the entire Huoyun Palace member system, the only task of the Daoist priests, who occupy the vast majority, is to deal with the demons and ghosts that may appear at any time in Liaozhai City.

Whenever there are demons and ghosts, there will definitely be a certain scale of missing people in Liaozhai City.

The Taoist priests need to find the location of the missing person as quickly as possible, and through a special guarding procedure, find the hiding place of the demon body, and then report it to the prefectural authorities.

The entire prologue of "Cyber Liaozhai".

It was through the old Taoist priest who led Chen Fei to carry out the first demon removal operation.

Again, this is the instructional level of the game.

Of course, at the beginning, there must have been no super spells for you to use, such as Burning the Sky and the Sea of Fire, Carrying the Sky and Sealing the Sky, and Sealing the Sky with Ice and Snow.

The "One Qi" small array plate will at most allow you to cast small spells such as fireballs, ice picks, and rock protrusions.

It was also in the prologue that the old Taoist priest who had been carrying Chen Fei gloriously received the box lunch, and the culprit of all the blame pointed to the entire Liaozhai City.

The deepest hidden, and also the most powerful big demon - the old demon of Montenegro.

The pace of the whole prologue is neither fast nor slow, and it can be finished in about ten minutes.

In order to avoid the boredom of players, Lao Tang and the others also intimately gave everyone an intimate experience of the perspective of an old Taoist.

It belongs to giving a large size in advance for everyone to try it out.

Anyway, whether it is Lao Yin, Liuliu or Erxiao, these people constantly read files and alternately switch the five elements of the array disk, and the gorgeous and cool moves also make the audience in the live broadcast room addicted.

Although he died in the end because of the plot, who dares to say that these spells are not cool?

Isn't that what everyone is here to see?

At the end of the prologue, the journey of the male protagonist Chen Fei officially began, and the game is getting better.

The main quests of the game are all derived from the mission assignments of the Fire Cloud Palace.

You can do the main quest if you want to, and if you don't want to do it, you can explore the entire Liaozhai City.

There has been an offline trial, and everyone knows that there are many branches in this game, as well as a lot of choices through tasks, and it is a game with a very high degree of freedom.

Many anchors don't care about the main line anyway, and just run to do the branch line.

But there is a problem with this.

The shuttle in the PV is something that everyone is hungry for, who doesn't want to drive this thing around the entire Liaozhai City?

As a result, after using it, I found out that this thing will only take you to the mission location on autopilot after receiving the task.

You can't move freely at all.

A lot of cloud play can be described as angry, in the live broadcast room, related videos, post it, it's just a mess.

All in all, the degree of freedom of this thing is not as high as everyone advertises.

But the gang was soon slapped in the face.

Cyberpunk world, everyone who understands it, and if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

On the same day, after a player ran a "carrying" mission, he had a wave of favorability with a supervisor of the super enterprise "Lingbo" next door.

As soon as the special shop opens, as long as the money is in place, a "scrapped" flying scooter can be taken home.

It is said to be scrapped, but the new texture on the picture can't be hidden from people at all.

In particular, the mysterious smile on the face of the director of this player screenshot made countless players laugh.

"This is the real 18R game, it's all the wisdom of adults, I said it's scrapped, isn't it scrapped?"

"Indeed, mirror is just a pleasure, and the real limit level has to be my "Cyber Liaozhai"."

However, later on, some players used special means to quickly swipe a lot of money and buy this vehicle.

It's almost impossible to drive on the ground, but in the air, the degree of freedom is not very high.

On the surface, Liaozhai City has made hundreds of high-rise buildings, but except for the headquarters of the giant enterprise at the top and the height of more than ten floors below, the middle part is all textures, and there is no actual content.

"No wonder you must use a shuttle to go to the ground part from the Fire Cloud Palace."

"I tried to ride a small motorcycle back to the Huoyun Palace, and after I found that the fuel was not enough, I used a little special means, and when I flew to a certain height, there was an air wall."

Here, gamers who like freedom are exploring the limits of this game.

On the other hand, players who like the plot are actively advancing the main story.

By doing tasks again and again, from the text in the game, everyone can be regarded as knowing the so-called "demons" and "ghosts".

In fact, it is a human who wants to transform himself into a digital life.

Even, many transformation scenes were smashed by the protagonist on the spot, and then they were brought to justice.

Similarly, the group of "demons" was also discovered by the protagonist.

They professed to be a group of rebels.

Throughout the game, players need to control the protagonist Chen Fei and make choices again and again.

In addition to cleaning up the "demons" and "ghosts" existing in the entire Liaozhai City, he will also come into contact with the gangs that survive in the gutter.

As one mission after another is completed, little clues gradually lead the protagonist to the city's biggest threat, the Black Mountain Demon.

It has been in Liaozhai City for too long, it has taken countless lives, and it has grown to an unimaginable point day by day.

Players who have reached this stage of the game will inevitably have doubts about the plot of this game through the information they have so far mastered in the game.

If in the Huoyun Palace, the Huoyun God, who was given to Chen Fei by granting the magic to master thousands of spells in the virtual world, was an immortal who was still above the company, and created a tool to rule the world.

With immortals, this kind of technology has arrived, and the energy of these guys who are no longer the same species as these humans at the bottom, how can they watch the demon become a climate?

The old demon of Montenegro is just another dog in captivity.

The story of "Cyber Liaozhai" is very dark, or rather, the symbol of cyber itself represents a complete tragedy.

Many players feel that cyberpunk elements don't match the national style at all, but what they don't know is that in our traditional culture, there are actually many such stories of oppression and resistance.

The only lesson that humanity has learned from history is that it has learned nothing from history.

There is some truth in this sentence.

Don't think you're smarter than the ancients, history has been going around like this for so many years, and nothing has changed.

It's just that with the development of productivity, you feel that there has been a little change.

And at the end of the story, what kind of ending to choose is ultimately only a matter of the player's thoughts.

The player can act as if nothing had happened, or they can choose to join the Resistance and become an Adversary.

Or choose to spend the rest of your life with one of the female NPCs in the story, escaping everything.

In the same way, it can also wipe out the resistance groups and get promoted and raised.

A main line that is enough to immerse people, enough to plump up the branch lines of the entire Liaozhai City.

Unique prosthetic system, ingenious virtual online battles.

Many endings that leave the choice to the player.

All the constraints together constitute the game world of "Cyber Liaozhai".

"What about the top layer? Who will make up for this nutrient that I lack? Dare to show the blood bar, and the immortals will also slaughter you. ”

"Who understands the family, standing on the roof of the building and beating the eighteen palms of the dragon is too handsome."

"The main line of the game is too short, about ten hours, although there are also fifty or sixty hours of game time with the side line, but it is still almost meaningless."

"Bugs have to be fixed, optimizations have to be done, a qualified game, but it's not a masterpiece."
