After the launch of the new game, many media outlets have revealed the latest information about the game "Minecraft".

"The latest information of Chen Mo's new game, called "Minecraft"

"Chen Mo's First VR Game Fully Exposed"

Minecraft: Pixel Wind Blocks

"Minecraft and a Thousand Prisons will be launched at the same time"

"Chen Mo praised a thousand prisons at the new game press conference"

These press releases basically disclosed some details of the press conference, including the gameplay and characteristics of "Minecraft" explained by Chen Mo, as well as some live videos.

Soon, the news spread among the player community, and those players who were looking forward to Chen Mo's new game had mixed reactions, but they were somewhat surprised.

The first VR game made by Chen Mo turned out to be building blocks?

Players who only have to take a close look at these press releases will basically understand the core fun of Minecraft.

Essentially, it's a game with "creation" at its core, and like Don't Starve, it's an open-world game with more complex networking options.

But even Don't Starve players are skeptical of the game.

Don't Starve is so popular because it's a small-scale game that can be played on PC and mobile, and it's very cheap for just 20 yuan.

However, Minecraft is a VR game, and generally speaking, VR games on the market are very expensive. Like "Earth OL", the price is 399 US dollars, and these domestic VR game masterpieces are basically hovering between 1000~2000 yuan.

Like some domestic MMORPG games, the price on the VR platform is relatively low, some sell for 500 yuan, but there will basically be follow-up fees, such as the sale of game point cards, value-added services, etc., otherwise it is difficult to recover the cost by relying on the price of the game itself.

Although the people who play VR games are some high-income groups, but let them spend 1,000 yuan to buy a game that stacks blocks?

It's not so bad to have money, is it?

On the forum, players are discussing.

"What did Chen Mo think, during the critical period of entering the VR platform, he actually made a puzzle game with building blocks? To be honest, I haven't really seen a VR platform for puzzle games make a lot of money. ”

"According to Chen Mo, this game can't be simply regarded as a puzzle game, it's also a sandbox game, similar to "Don't Starve"."

"But the core fun is creating! Besides, with such a high price tag for VR games, how many copies of Minecraft can be sold? Will the cost be recovered? ”

"I think it's definitely okay to recover the cost, this game is pixel style, a lot of it is built by yourself, and all the materials can be reused, how much research and development money can this cost?"

"If it's a mobile phone or a PC, it won't cost much, but there must still be some investment in changing VR, and you look at the live picture of the game on the video, the stickers are very delicate, it is estimated that Chen Mo has not spent less money in art, otherwise it is impossible to make the pixel style so good-looking."

"I think maybe a few million, no more than twenty million at most. Hey, for Chen Mo, it's drizzling. ”

"According to 20 million, this is already very low for the research and development cost of VR games, Chen Mo can completely take the way of small profits and quick turnover, and when the time comes, a game will be sold for 200 yuan, isn't it beautiful? Those players who can afford to buy VR game pods, who cares about the 200 yuan? ”

"Well, that's not the case. Will Chen Mo be worried that he won't be able to make money? Even if he throws away 20 million for nothing, he won't care very much. The problem is, this is his first VR game, and if it goes wrong, it will be embarrassing! ”

"And it was launched at the same time as Yan Zhenyuan's "A Thousand Prisons", if the sales and income are crushed, how ugly will this be?"

"Hey, even if you are crushed by then, you can say that you are doing a puzzle game, and there is no comparison."

"Let's see, I'm poor anyway, I can't afford a VR game pod, if this game is done well, I'll go to the VR Internet café to support it......"

……

Soon, "A Thousand Hells" and "Minecraft" began to frequently expose various detailed information, although these two games did not mention each other's names in the promotion at all, but the melon-eating masses can see that both games are secretly treating each other as their competitors.

Especially in "A Thousand Prisons", various character original paintings, scene original paintings, skill effects, story backgrounds, and game scenes have been exposed, the accuracy of the picture is extremely high, and the game is also full of coolness, which makes players addicted to watching.

On the forum, players' expectations for "A Thousand Hells" also continued to rise, and even the activation code for the closed beta was hyped to two or three thousand, which was higher than the price at the time of the official release.

On Chen Mo's side, it was a little tepid.

On the official website of "Minecraft", some basic information has been disclosed for a long time, but it has not deliberately made some very large-scale promotional materials, and the only thing that can be done is the CG video at the press conference.

Players' reactions to this CG video are also mediocre, because CG is the easiest thing to fake, a lot of games, CG is done to blow up, and the real scene of the game is not like that at all.

What's more, compared to the CG of "Warcraft" and "Diablo", the CG of "Minecraft" is like a doodle for kindergarten children, which is really not attractive.

Players are also very confused.

Chen Mo has a lot of ways to promote the game, he made his own animation when he promoted "My Name is MT", released Alsace line drafts when he promoted "Warcraft", wrote the martial arts song "Sword Like a Dream" when he promoted "The Legend of Martial Arts", and released "Pure Land of Bliss" when he promoted "Onmyoji......

How did you get to Minecraft and there was nothing?

Just such a perfunctory publicity, how many people will pay attention to this game on the day of release?

In the confusion of everyone, Chen Mo finally took action.

At noon that day, Chen Mo coldly posted a new Weibo: "Minecraft: The Forbidden City." Note: All footage in this video is a live game. ”

The people who eat melons are all confused, what the hell?

Forbidden city?

Could it be that Chen Mo used building blocks to pile up the Forbidden City in "Minecraft"?

Players clicked on the video.

Although there have been many games before, some real-life scenes have been made in the game, but they are all made by professionals, and many of them only have a layer of skin on the outside, which looks good, but in fact they are not useful.

But "Minecraft" is a building block game, if even the Forbidden City can be built, does that mean that players can play freely in the Forbidden City?
