On February 2, "The Prototype of Massacre" will be officially released!

After several days of trial play and warm-up, the popularity of "Prototype" can be said to be the same for a while, which is due to the characteristics of this game and Chen Mo's vigorous publicity.

On major video sites, "Prototype" has become a popular material in the vr game area, and a large number of episode introduction videos have appeared; on various live broadcast platforms, many "League of Legends", "Overwatch" and stand-alone games The anchors of the game are also looking forward to the release of this game; and on Weibo, # Welcome to the top of the food chain # has become a hot topic!

On the video website, there are many up hosts who have done mixed cuts of the main character Alex in "Prototype", which also received a high number of views.

Although many up hosts and anchors have experienced this game in Chen Mo's experience store, and many video materials have been streamed online, this does not affect the players' enthusiasm for this game in the slightest.

The reason is simple, watching others play is not as good as playing by yourself!

For games like "Dark Soul", many players will choose to pass the level through video, because it is too difficult. If you play masochistic by yourself, you will probably throw it aside after less than a week of clearing the level; but "Prototype" is different. No matter who plays the game, it can abuse monsters, there is no threshold at all!

Moreover, seeing that the anchors can fly over the walls of the building, change into various forms and kill enemies at will, the players also feel very itchy, because they know that these cool movements do not require any high-end operations at all, and can be used by individuals come out.

What's more, experiencing it in VR mode is completely different from watching it on video!

Many players look forward to it even more after watching the demo video. If they climb the wall like this in VR mode, what kind of feeling would it be like? Isn't it cool

What's more, the price of "Prototype" is very cheap in vr games. Players have said, I'm so overwhelmed!

Imperial Capital, at the entrance of Cool Music Internet Cafe.

Kule Internet Cafe is a relatively well-known chain of VR Internet cafes in China. Its scale covers all major first- and second-tier cities. The environment is relatively good, the configuration of the VR game cabin is relatively high, and the price is affordable, so it is very popular among players.

At present, VR Internet cafes are still relatively popular, because many people cannot afford VR game cabins. It is a good deal to spend two to three hundred yuan to experience the latest VR games in VR Internet cafes.

Several players met again and came to the gate of Cool Music Internet Cafe.

The consumption of vr Internet cafes is relatively high, such as Kule Internet cafes, the consumption of ordinary vr game cabins in this relatively affordable Internet cafe lobby is 60 yuan/hour, and it costs more than 200 yuan to go out for four hours a day. So it is impossible for these players to stay here every day.

However, it is also a good choice for many players to play online together in a vr Internet cafe on weekends.

"Huh? Why is there a new banner? "Prototype" cooperates with Internet cafes?"

"Fuck? Is it true? Isn't that Chen Mo's new game?"

A few young people stepped forward very curiously, and saw the banner and sign at the entrance of the store, which clearly stated: "This store can experience Chen Mo's new game "Prototype", no need to buy!"

"Can I just play "Prototype"? Fuck, let's not play "Overwatch" today, but play "Prototype"!"

"Why? I also want to show off my Genji!"

"Show what Genji! Didn't you see that "Prototype" is being screened online recently? This game is much more enjoyable than your Genji!"

"Really? How cool is it?"

"Hehehe, you will know when you go in and play, it is beyond your imagination! Hurry up, go in and ask the boss, isn't this game sold for 998, and you can experience it directly in an Internet cafe? Is this some kind of cooperation with the developer? ?”

A few young people came to the front desk of Cool Music Internet Cafe, and while swiping their ID cards, they asked the pretty lady at the front desk: "Can the Internet Cafe play "Prototype"? Is it true?"

The young lady nodded with a smile: "That's right, because our Internet cafe and Leiting Huyu have a cooperative relationship and bought a lot of Internet cafe versions of "Prototype", you can go to the VR game cabins over there Experience, but the price is 100 yuan/hour."

One player asked: "Is all the content of this game playable, or only the first part?"

The little sister replied: "All content can be played, and the fee is charged by time."

"Nice!" A few young people couldn't wait to swipe their ID cards, and each occupied a VR game cabin.

Some vr game companies have engaged in similar cooperation activities before, but basically the content of the game is limited, that is to say, you can experience it directly in the early trial stage, but as the game progresses to a certain stage, you have to pay for it. game.

These trial versions of games are provided to vr internet cafes for free by game companies, in order to allow players to experience the beginning of a game and be attracted to follow-up payments.

At present, players go to VR Internet cafes mainly to play large-scale online games, such as "Luna Oracle", which has a very low entry fee, and the main source of income is additional value-added services.

Many players have been cheated by these "experience games". Some stand-alone games are hung in vr Internet cafes under the banner of "experience".

It stands to reason that this charging strategy is reasonable, but the problem is that no one is willing to buy it!

However, "Prototype" adopts a different strategy, which is equivalent to transferring the risk to the vr Internet cafe, so for players, this charging strategy is much more friendly.

In fact, this strategy is nothing new. Other developers have thought of it a long time ago, but the reason why it has not become popular is because these games do not have the characteristics of "Prototype", and the other is because they do not have Chen Mo's reputation!

It is precisely because Chen Mo's many classic games are there, and almost every one has achieved a certain degree of success, these vr Internet cafe owners can safely cooperate with Thunder Interactive Entertainment and purchase a large number of Internet cafes of "Prototype". version without worrying about losing money.

Soon, several young people turned on the voice in the vr game cabin to share their game experience with each other.

"Damn it, it's cool to experience the cg of this title in the vr game cabin! It feels like Alex jumped in front of me, it's so exciting!"

"Wow, this part of Times Square is the same as in the video! And I didn't know until I played it myself, the vr mode is really different from watching the video!"

"Damn it, I'm running on the building! Climb all kinds of stairs! I'm afraid of heights, I fell down!"

"Tanks and helicopters are all scumbags! Invincible!"

"Nimma, this game actually passed the review? This is a domestic game, can you believe it!"
