Chapter 95: Virtual Game Experience
"What the hell! It's all the first paragraph, and it's a copy of "My name is MT", so don't be so blatant! ”
"My God,You can guess the content just by looking at the game introduction.,Sure enough,Card battles,What's the difference between it and "My name is MT"?,It's just a different skin!"
"Don't say anything, the bad review is gone."
The comment section of these games quickly exploded, and many players formed groups to brush up on bad reviews, causing the ratings of these games to all go all the way down, from 8 points at the beginning all the way down to about 6.5.
"Demon Slayer" has a slightly higher rating because it is better made than other games, but it is only 7.1 points.
There are also many players who ran to Chen Mo's Weibo to comment: "Look at what you have done, you have brought all the other designers to ruin, what kind of games are you doing now......"
Complaints are complaints, and bad reviews are bad reviews, but players only found that although these games have low ratings, the number of downloads is quite high, and there are still many people who play them.
Many players are speechless, who is playing?
……
In the official forums of Demon Slayer.
"I really want a protagonist card, I can't resist the urge to charge money!"
"Someone came to scold us for plagiarizing ......"
"Scold, scold, ignore them, let's just play ours."
"I think it's still a reliable production of the Imperial Dynasty, although "My Name is MT" is also very good, but after all, it is a small company, and it always feels unreliable to charge money."
"The quality of "Demon Slayer" is also good, at least it doesn't lose to "My name is MT"."
"Not to mention, there is no sense of disobedience after changing the material of "Demon Slayer"."
"Add friends and send physical strength, everyone!"
……
Soon, the profit figures of these card games came out roughly, and all of them were not low! "Demon Slayer" has the best results, and industry insiders estimate that the monthly turnover may even approach the 23 million at the time of "My Name is MT".
Tearing and anti-tearing are inevitable, this time the Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment has also learned to be obedient, no matter how the fans tear up, the official is determined to be a shrinking turtle and not say a word.
And after this batch of games, many game designers have realized that this card game mode can be applied to most themes, as long as you make it as is, you can make money!
Although you have to be scolded, you can make money!
The popularity of "Demon Slayer" and this batch of card mobile games has led to a wave of card game craze, and those designers who were originally waiting on the sidelines have also taken action to put the development plan of "My name is MT"-style card mobile games on the agenda.
All of a sudden, the entire mobile game circle was turned upside down.
Or rather...... Miasma.
……
On the other side, Chen Mo was silent.
"Thunder Chess" has been removed after hanging on the homepage recommendation position of the Imperial Dynasty game platform for a month, but Chen Mo is still continuing to send prizes.
Under this kind of user volume, it doesn't really matter whether there is a publicity slot or not.
After "Lifeline", Chen Mo did not announce the development plan for the new game for the time being, and most of the designers were temporarily relieved, but they were also guessing what Chen Mo was going to do next.
Now Chen Mo has funds and players in his hands, if he can continue his previous success and continue to develop several popular games, then this expansion speed will be terrible.
Many designers are secretly praying: "Let this monster take a break for a year and a half, I can't make a fuss!" ”
……
Chen Mo tried to touch the wall in front of him.
A very real touch comes from your fingertips.
Walking, jumping, and punching, Chen Mo tried to make a few movements, and he felt that there was no difference from reality, and his strength and speed increased a lot.
Now Chen Mo feels like an athlete, even if he runs fast for a while, he won't be out of breath at all.
"How far has the world's VR games go? Terrific. ”
Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, Chen Mo is now lying in the game cabin of the studio, experiencing the foreign VR game "Earth OL".
The game is now a smash hit, with more than seven million users worldwide, and is now the most popular VR game.
Of course, this number of users seems to be quite small, after all, Chen Mo's Thunder game platform has tens of millions of users. This is mainly due to the fact that the cost of VR games is too high, and VR gaming pods are still far from the popularity of PCs.
The price of VR game pods is basically between 50,000 and 200,000 yuan.
If you say the top match...... There is no upper limit to the price, and many VR cabin manufacturers offer custom services, as long as you pay for it, any special parts can be added.
This price is not expensive for the experience effect of VR games, but it is not cheap either.
Different VR games have different requirements for game cabins, and games like "Earth Online" must be top-of-the-line game cabins to run.
Moreover, the price of VR games themselves is also very expensive.
The development cost of VR games is basically ten times that of triple-A masterpieces on PC. The average development cost of a triple-A masterpiece on PC is around $40 million, and if a VR game wants to achieve the same world structure, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars casually.
This R&D cost, in China, is only affordable by a few large companies such as Imperial Mutual Entertainment and Zen Appeal.
The cost of R&D is high, and the price is naturally high. The price of "Earth Online" is 399 US dollars, and in China, the price fluctuates in the range of 2000~2500 yuan.
After all, there are a few local tyrants who are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a game cabin and a few thousand dollars to buy a game. For most ordinary players, VR games are good, but after all, they are fake, and with this money, it is not as good as buying a car.
It is precisely because the VR game cabin is too expensive that the VR Internet café also came into being. The price of these Internet cafes is basically 50~200 yuan/hour, and some players who can't afford to buy game cabins have to go to VR Internet cafes to experience VR games.
It is precisely because of the high R&D cost and small user base that the development of VR games has not been smooth sailing, and there is still a long way to go before it completely replaces the PC.
Chen Mo's current location is the novice area of "Earth OL", a room responsible for reception. It seems that each player is an independent copy and does not interfere with each other.
The precautions in the game were played in a loop on the big screen next to him, and Chen Mo took a general look at it, and quickly figured out the core gameplay of this game.
Earth Online is a realistic game in which players can experience life choices that are completely different from the real world.
A blind person can be a pilot here, and a frail person can also become an athlete here.
In "Earth Online", everyone's initial attributes will be set to the same level (the initial attributes mainly refer to health, physique, strength, speed, etc.), while players have to start from scratch, accept some low-level tasks, work to make money, and complete their life ideals through special selections or tasks.
The slogan of "Earth Online" is: here, you can experience a completely different life.
