Chapter 625: On Sale! (1st Update)
On February 2nd, "Torture and Killing" was officially released!
After a few days of trial play and warm-up, the popularity of "Torture and Killing Prototype" can be called unparalleled for a while, thanks to the characteristics of this game and Chen Mo's vigorous promotion.
On major video websites, "Torture and Killing the Original Form" has become a popular material in the VR game area, and a large number of plot introduction videos have appeared; On various live streaming platforms, many streamers of League of Legends, Overwatch, and single-player games are also looking forward to the release of this game; And on Weibo, #欢迎来到食物链顶端#更是成为了一个热门话题!
On video sites, there are many UP masters who have made a remix of the footage of Alex, the protagonist of "Torture and Killing", which has also received a high number of views.
Although many UP masters and anchors have experienced this game in Chen Mo's experience store, and there are also many video materials that have flowed online, this has not affected the enthusiasm of players for this game at all.
The reason is very simple, watching others play is not as cool as playing by yourself after all!
In a game like "Dark Souls", many players will choose to clear the game by video, because it is too difficult, and they will play masochism by themselves, and it is likely that they will last less than a week to clear the level and throw it aside; But "Torture and Killing Prototype" is different, no matter who gets started with this game, you can abuse monsters, and there is no threshold at all!
Moreover, players also feel very itchy to see the streamers being able to fly on the eaves and walk on the walls of the building, changing into various forms to abuse and kill enemies at will, because they know that these cool actions do not require any high-end operations at all, and can be used by individuals.
What's more, the experience in VR mode is completely different from watching it on video!
After watching the trial video, many players are looking forward to it, what would it be like if they climbed the wall like this in VR mode? Isn't it cool?
What's more, the pricing of "Torture and Killing" is very cheap in VR games, and players have said, I bought it out!
……
The imperial capital, the entrance of the Cool Internet Cafe.
Cool Internet Cafe is a well-known chain of VR Internet cafes in China, with a scale in major first- and second-tier cities, a good environment, a relatively high configuration of VR game cabins, and a price close to the people, so it is very popular with players.
At present, VR Internet cafes are still relatively popular, because there are many people who cannot afford VR game cabins, and it is very cost-effective to spend two or three hundred yuan to experience the latest VR games in VR Internet cafes.
A few players met again at the door of the Cool Internet Café.
The consumption of VR Internet cafes is relatively high, such as Cool Internet Cafe, the consumption of ordinary VR game cabins in the Internet café hall with a relatively affordable price is 60 yuan/hour, and playing for four hours a day is more than 200 yuan to go out, so it is impossible for these players to soak here every day.
However, playing online together in a VR Internet café on weekends is also a good choice for many players.
"Huh? How do you have a new banner? "Torture and Killing the Original Form" cooperates with Internet cafes? ”
"? Really? Isn't that Chen Mo's new game? ”
Several young people stepped forward very curiously and saw the banners and signs at the entrance of the store, which clearly read: "This store can experience Chen Mo's new game "Torture and Killing Prototype", no need to buy!" ”
"Can you play "Torture and Kill the Original Form" directly? , then let's stop playing "Overwatch" today, play "Torture and Killing Prototype"! ”
"Why? I want to show off my Genji! ”
"Show what Genji! Haven't you watched the recent "Torture and Killing Prototype" on the Internet? This game is much cooler than your Genji! ”
"Really? How cool is it? ”
"Hehehe, you'll know when you go in and play, it's beyond your imagination! Hurry up, go in and ask the boss, isn't this game selling 998, and you can experience it directly in an Internet café? Is this a cooperation with the developer? ”
Several young people came to the front desk of the Cool Internet Cafe and asked the beautiful young lady at the front desk while swiping their ID cards: "Can the Internet café play "Torture and Killing"?" Really? ”
The young lady smiled and nodded: "That's right, because our Internet café and Thunder Mutual Entertainment have a cooperative relationship, and we have bought a lot of Internet café versions of "Torture and Killing the Original Form", you can go to a few VR game cabins over there to experience it, but the price is 100 yuan / hour." ”
One player asked, "Can I play all the content of this game, or is it just for the first part?" ”
The young lady replied, "All the content can be played, and it is charged by time." ”
"NICE!" Several young people couldn't wait to swipe their ID cards and each occupied a VR game pod.
There have been some VR game companies that have engaged in similar cooperation activities before, but they basically limit the game content, which means that you can experience it directly in the early trial stage, but as the game progresses to a certain process, you must pay to buy the game.
These demo versions of the game are provided to VR Internet cafes for free by game providers, in order to allow players to experience the beginning of a game and be attracted to pay later.
At present, players mainly play large-scale online games in VR Internet cafes, such as "Oracle of the Moon God", which has a very low threshold fee, and the main economic source is additional value-added services.
Many players have been pitted by these "experience games", and some stand-alone games are hung in VR Internet cafes under the banner of "experience", and they play very well at the beginning, but they can't play halfway through the game, and they must pay to buy them.
It stands to reason that this charging strategy is reasonable, but the problem is that no one wants to buy it!
"Torture and Killing" adopts a different strategy, which is equivalent to transferring the risk to the VR Internet café, so for players, this charging strategy is much friendlier.
In fact, this strategy is nothing new, and other developers have thought of it for a long time, but the reason why it has not become popular is because these games do not have the characteristics of "Torture and Killing", and on the other hand, because they do not have Chen Mo's reputation!
It is precisely because of many of Chen Mo's classic games that are placed there, and almost every one of them has achieved a certain degree of success, that these VR Internet café owners can rest assured that they can cooperate with Thunder Mutual Entertainment and buy a large number of Internet café versions of "Torture and Killing" without worrying about losing money.
Soon, several young people turned on their voices in the VR game pod to share their gaming experiences with each other.
", this piece of CG experience in the VR game cabin, cool! It feels like Alex is jumping in front of me, and the thief is so exciting! ”
"Wow, this part of Times Square is the same as on the video! And I only know when I play it myself, VR mode and watching videos are really worlds apart! ”
"Damn, I'm running on the building! All kinds of buildings can be climbed casually! A little afraid of heights, I fell! ”
"Tanks and helicopters are all scum! Invincible! ”
"Nima, can this game pass the review? This is a domestic game, can you believe it! ”
