Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Seventh Lukewarm

After the launch of the new game, many media have successively exposed the latest information on the game "Minecraft".

"The latest information on Chen Mo's new game, titled "Minecraft"

"Chen Mo's first VR game fully exposed"

"Minecraft: Pixel Wind Building Block Play"

"Minecraft and a thousand prisons will be online at the same time"

"Chen Mo is full of praise for Qian Prison at the new game conference"

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

Soon, the news spread among the players, and the 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 can basically understand the core fun of Minecraft as long as they carefully study these press releases.

Essentially, this is a game with "creation" as its core element. Like Don't Starve, it uses an open world as its main selling point and supports more complex networking modes.

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

"Don't Starve" is popular because it is a small game that can be played on PC and mobile, and it costs only 20 yuan, which is very cheap.

However, Minecraft is a VR game, and generally speaking, the current 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 1,000 and 2,000 yuan.

Like some domestic MM games, the price on the VR platform is relatively low, some sell for 500 yuan, but basically there will be follow-up charges, such as selling game point cards, value-added services, etc., otherwise, relying on games alone The price itself is difficult to recover the cost.

Although some high-income groups play VR games, let them spend 1,000 yuan to buy a game of stacking wood?

It's not so bad to be rich, is it?

On the forum, players are discussing.

Doomsday no one lives forever

"What did Chen Mo think? In the critical period of entering the VR platform, he actually made a puzzle game with building blocks? To be honest, I have never seen a puzzle game on the VR platform make a lot of money."

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

"But the core fun is to create! Besides, the price of VR games is so high, how many copies of "Minecraft" can be sold? Can it recover the cost?"

"I don't think it's a problem to recover the cost. This game is a pixel style, and many of them are built by themselves, and all the materials can be reused. How much research and development funds can this cost?"

"If it's a mobile phone or a PC, it won't cost much, but if you change to VR, you must still have some investment, and if you look at the real game screen on the video, the textures are very delicate, and it is estimated that Chen Mo has spent a lot of money on art. Otherwise, it is impossible to make the pixel wind so beautiful."

"I think it might be a few million, but no more than 20 million at most. Hey, for Chen Mo, it's a drizzle."

"According to 20 million yuan, this is already very low for the research and development cost of VR games. Chen Mo can completely adopt the method of small profits but quick turnover. At that time, a game will be sold for 200 yuan, isn't it beautiful? Those who can buy it Players from VR game cabins, who cares about the 200 yuan?"

"Hey, that's not the case. Will Chen Mo worry about not making any money? Even if he throws away the 20 million yuan for nothing, he won't care much. The problem is, this is his first VR game. If you mess up, you will be embarrassed!"

"And it was launched at the same time as Yan Zhenyuan's "Thousands of Prisons". How ugly would it be if sales and revenue were crushed to no end?"

"Hey, even if you're crushed by then, you can still say that what you're doing is a puzzle game, there's no comparison."

"Look, anyway, I'm poor and can't afford a VR game cabin. If this game is done well, I'll go to the VR Internet cafe to support it..."

...

Soon, "Thousands of Prisons" and "Minecraft" began to frequently expose various detailed information. Although these two games did not mention each other's name in the publicity, but the people who eat melons can see that these two games They secretly regard each other as their own competitors.

Especially in "Thousands of Prisons", various character original paintings, scene original paintings, skill effects, story backgrounds, and real game scenes have been exposed one after another. he loves you more

On the forum, players' expectations for "Thousands of Prisons" continued to rise, and even the activation code for the internal test was fired to two or three thousand, which was higher than the price when it was officially released.

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

On the official website of "Minecraft", some basic materials have been disclosed for a long time, but they have not deliberately made some very big publicity materials. The only thing I can do is the CG video at the press conference. .

Players' reaction to this CG video was also mediocre, because CG is the easiest thing to fake, and many games, CG is so good, the real game scene is completely different.

What's more, compared with the CG of "Warcraft" and "Diablo", the CG of "Minecraft" is like the graffiti of kindergarten children, which is really unattractive.

Players are also very confused.

There are many ways for Chen Mo to promote games. When promoting "My Name is MT", he made animations, when promoting "Warcraft", he released Alsatian line drafts, and when promoting "Wulin Heroes", he wrote martial arts songs " "The Sword Is Like a Dream", "The Pure Land of Bliss" was released when promoting "Onmyoji"...

How did I get to "Minecraft" and there's nothing left?

Just promote it perfunctorily, UU reading www. uukanshu. com, how many people can pay attention to this game until the release day?

Amid everyone's confusion, Chen Mo finally took action.

At noon that day, Chen Mo coldly posted a new Weibo: "'Minecraft': The Forbidden City. Note: All the pictures in this video are real games."

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

Forbidden City?

Could it be that Chen Mo piled up the Forbidden City with building blocks in "Minecraft"?

Players clicked on the video one after another.

Although there were a lot of games in the past, some real-life scenes were created in the game, but they were all made by professionals, and many of them only had a layer of skin on the outside, which looked good, but they were actually not useful.

But "Minecraft" is a building block game. If you can even build the Forbidden City, does that mean that players can play freely in the Forbidden City?
