Chen Mo looked at the technology points on the virtual bracelet.
The phrase "technology changes the world" is of course correct, but for Chen Mo, it should be "technology changes the game".
Thinking about it, in many fields of literature, art and entertainment, games are probably the cultural industry that is most restricted by technology.
Anime and novels are almost completely unrestricted by any technology.
Movies and TV series will be subject to some restrictions, but they are less restricted than games, and their top effects are often ahead of games.
Many times, some games are not perfect, or some compromises have to be made, often because the technology is not up to standard, and designers have to choose the lesser of two evils and do it as a last resort.
A game like "Curse of Blood", without the vr technology of neural connection and the black technology of implanting consciousness and eliminating the panic of players, it is absolutely impossible to make it what it is now.
At most, it is placed on the switch, so that everyone can suffer in another way.
Obviously, the greater the ambition of the designer, the more black technology support is needed.
Chen Mo has unlocked the last technology point on the third floor, which is "storage capacity expansion (level 2)", and the storage capacity and reading speed of the matrix game cabin have been greatly improved.
In fact, the storage capacity expansion of level 1 is completely sufficient for many current open world games. Large open world games like gta have shortened the time for switching protagonists and reading disks to a very short time.
And after upgrading again, probably even 3A masterpieces with open world themes can completely eliminate the loading bar like "Uncharted".
This kind of feeling is probably when playing gta, switching from one protagonist to another, the two are far apart, but the camera zooms up and then dives, the loading is completed, the whole process takes only one second, the players even May not have reacted yet.
After this technology comes out, there should be no need to pursue greater storage space and reading speed in the short term.
The fourth floor is another separate technology point.
[Hardware Cost Reduction (Level 1)]: After activation, the cost of the current virtual reality game equipment will be greatly reduced by 30%.
Chen Mo was shocked, this was what he had been waiting for!
Although everyone is joking: "Expensive is not the shortcoming of the Matrix game cabin, it is your shortcoming", but after all, considering the current level of economic development and residents' consumption level, the price of the Matrix game cabin is still too high.
Chen Mo was even willing to sell it with his own money, but he just lowered the price to around 200,000.
However, for those players who are very entangled in buying a 10,000 yuan mobile phone and 15,000 yuan computer, how can they spend 200,000 yuan to buy a pure entertainment device
Of course, the gaming experience in the matrix game cabin is unique, and 200,000 yuan is not expensive, but after all, for many people, this is not a question of whether it is expensive or not, but a question of simply not being able to afford it and not having so much money.
In fact, Chen Mo has always believed that the ordinary class, even the poor class, will be the mainstay of the future virtual reality world.
Recently, the newly released games on the matrix game cabin are basically stand-alone games. The reasons are complicated, but generally speaking, this strategy is in line with the current market situation.
Most of the people who can afford the matrix game cabin are well-off families and above. Players don’t have so much time to play games, and they may spend at most two or three hours a day to play.
Stand-alone games can guarantee a certain degree of continuity and freedom of time, and do not need to compete with other players in terms of time. At the same time, selling sales by portion is in line with the consumption habits of this group.
But what about the future
Obviously, only pleasing the high-end market and making the matrix game cabin only for the rich can indeed live a very nourishing life, but how could Chen Mo be the kind of person who is easy to get rich.
The ultimate goal Chen Mo wants to see is to spread the Matrix Game Cabin to the whole world, and even to everyone, to create an incomparably huge virtual reality world in the future.
Some people may think that this is just a game, as for? Although the game is good, it still needs to be separated from reality. The current game is good for entertainment, and it is ok to continue to maintain this level.
However, Chen Mo would definitely not agree.
It's not just Chen Mo who disagrees, probably all players who are really passionate about the game will not allow the game to stop there.
What is the ultimate form of the game? Maybe it's reality. If you can't work hard towards the ultimate form of the game at any cost, then the entire history of game development will become meaningless.
Just like after mankind invented nuclear energy, it brought the crisis of doomsday to the whole world, but this is the only way on the tree of human technology.
Even if this world is really a world like Cthulhu Mythos, people are bound to go farther and farther on the road of death to explore the unknown and acquire knowledge.
As for why the poor and ordinary people are the future of the virtual reality world
Because at present, virtual reality technology and brain in a vat are the only way for human beings to realize communism.
It may be a bit categorical to say so, but it is one of the easiest, if not the only, ways to achieve it.
Many people ridicule that the real world is a hard+ model for most people. Whether it is the gap between the rich and the poor, the hardships of life, or unfair competition, these things may not be found in hundreds of years. The solution.
Since the birth of human civilization, inequality has been throughout the entire history of civilization. Although the improvement of productivity allows the poor in modern society to live with relative dignity, "strive to survive" has never been an option for them to feel comfortable.
I will cry if I continue.
Obviously, for a long time to come, expecting the development of productive forces to complete communism is a very illusory thing. Because wealth is always accumulating to the top, the rich people have limited spending power, but most of them will never give a penny to the poor.
That being the case, for the poor, the only way for them to escape the real world and live in an equal world is virtual reality technology, which is a brain in a vat.
After all, compared to the real world where resources are extremely scarce, the resources of the virtual world are almost endless.
Those rich people call the shots in the real world, and the richer they are, the weaker their yearning for the virtual world. On the contrary, the more poor people who feel that reality is hopeless, or even give up completely, will become the most loyal supporters of the virtual reality world.
Therefore, for Chen Mo, if he wants to further promote virtual reality technology, it is necessary to reduce the price, and this technological point is also necessary.
After this large-scale cost reduction, the price of the game cabin is expected to be reduced to 150,000. Considering the strong temptation of next-generation vr games, this price is by no means a painful figure for most middle-class families. up.
