Chapter 681: Confused Players and Major Manufacturers
Inside Nebula Games, Yang Chen took off the VR-style headset and stretched his waist.
He had just had an experience with Brandon's "Iron Man" produced by them, and I have to say that the actual effect was beyond Yang Chen's expectations.
Brandon, who has a lot of experience in VR games, handles the game perspective quite well, and the game itself is also very well optimized, and the VR equipment he uses is the mainstream VR configuration of the dessert level on the market today, but it can basically maintain a stable frame rate.
And the graphics in the game are pretty good.
"Mr. Yang, is there really no problem with the game market?" Brandon next to him asked Yang Chen a little worriedly.
Brandon is not clear about Yang Chen's thoughts, the only thing he knows is the quality of the current game.
It's about two and a half hours of storytelling, but considering the things players will be trying to explore in the game, the whole process will definitely not take more than five hours.
And the whole game is not an open-ended game, mainly based on a linear plot experience, and even different from the general interactive movie game with a variety of options and multiple endings, this game has only one ending, at most, according to the different choices, resulting in some details in the game There is a selection bias.
How so? If you have to talk about games, Brandon feels that it's more like a movie.
"Of course, there is no problem, we will also launch DLC content for the corresponding plot in the future, and the price will also be in line with the content of the game itself." Regarding Brandon's worries, Yang Chen didn't have much to worry about.
He's already experienced the game itself, and it can be said to be very good.
And in terms of price, Yang Chen didn't want to price too high.
48 yuan, this is Yang Chen's price for "Iron Man", which is equivalent to the price of a movie ticket, and it is not even as expensive as ordinary indie games.
At such a price, Yang Chen has also thought about it carefully.
First of all, in terms of game content, about 5~6 hours of normal game flow, it is obviously impossible to price according to triple-A games.
The second is the development of follow-up content, the cost required is not as expensive as imagined, of course, it is impossible to expect "Iron Man" to recover its cost, even if 20 million copies are sold.
After all, the main resources consumed in the game are in the huge New York City, but this does not mean that "Iron Man" cannot be profitable, you must know that the current launch is only the story of "Iron Man 1" in the dream memory, and there are many subsequent stories that can be developed on this basis.
In addition, there are other heroes besides Iron Man, and a large number of DLC content will follow-up, and the price of this DLC will be much higher than the base game at that time.
"Alright, give me a copy of the promotional video for "Iron Man" first." Looking at Brandon, who was a little confused, without explaining too much, Yang Chen smiled and said.
Hearing this, Brandon nodded, although he was indeed a little confused, but he also knew that these had nothing to do with him, and according to some of the requirements he received from Yang Chen during the previous development, he also knew in his heart that the project he was currently developing was likely to pave the way for subsequent projects, or experiments.
This is not an uncommon occurrence, as he has seen it a lot in UEgames.
For example, new project games need to use some special technologies, and when it is not yet determined whether these technologies are good or bad, they will generally be tested in some old games that have not earned well in the past, and then promote a wave by the way to see if they can harvest new leeks, and even if they can't be harvested, they can also test the player's feedback on new changes or technologies.

Chen Zhao took off the VR equipment on his head and stretched.
Looking at the VR equipment placed next to him, Chen Zhao looked a little helpless.
Impulsive spending!
Speaking of which, I bought this VR equipment, and I have been eating ashes for almost half a year.
The main reason is that there are too few VR games that can be played, and the main direction of the vast majority of manufacturers is still on the PC platform.
It has only recently been the beginning of a long time that there have been more and more VR games of all kinds, but most of them are horror games like Resident Evil 5.
For this type of game, Chen Zhao can be said to stay away.
Isn't it good to be alive?
Just a "Battlefield" can make him feel that the VR equipment he bought is still a little useful.
But "Battlefield" is fun and fun, after clearing the story mode, in fact, it can be played in multiplayer mode, and the content of the current Nebula game update is basically multiplayer content, although Nebula Games made it clear that the plot mode will be, but think about it and know that it will definitely not come out in a short time.
In multiplayer mode, the operation of the VR platform is much more troublesome than that of the PC platform, and the matchmaking time is quite long, after all, there are not many players.
It would be nice if Nebula Games could have some more games on the VR platform, preferably the kind with a single-player story.
With some emotion, Chen Zhao leaned back in his chair and then took out his mobile phone, ready to swipe the game news or something.
He is not a hardcore gamer, and the place where he knows the most about new games on weekdays is the major game portals, as well as some related self-media.
Clicking on the frequently frequented game Starry Sky APP, as soon as the interface was displayed, Chen Zhao's attention was attracted by the red bold headlines of the game Starry Sky that day.
'Nebula Games' new news, only 48 yuan to experience the life experience of superheroes! ’
Nebula Games' new work? 48 yuan?
In an instant, Chen Zhao's attention was attracted by these two keywords.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to the major game manufacturers, he still knows the name of Nebula Games.
In addition to "Battlefield", Chen Zhao has also played some games such as "Red Dead Redemption: Redemption".
Nebula Games has news of a new work, which doesn't surprise him much, but what really surprised him is that the news headline says that it only sells for 48 yuan, does it mean that Nebula Games' new game only sells for 48 yuan?
How is this possible?
Even some ordinary indie games don't cost more than that!
With curiosity, Chen Zhao immediately clicked into the article.
Not only Chen Zhao, after watching the news content and game trailer released by Yang Chen on the official blog, in addition to players, including manufacturers in the game industry, they are also a little confused about this action of Nebula Games.
Nebula Games, what are you thinking?
NetDragon and Phoenix in China, and Apex Games overseas, including UEgame, which is in a cooperative relationship with Nebula Games, all have a trace of confusion in their hearts.
