Almighty Video Game Designer - Chapter 358
Chapter 358: Chen Mo made a horror game?
“What the hell? The venue of the S1 World Championship was at miles square? F * ck, how much did Chen Zhao spend to rent this place? It would cost tens of thousands a day, right? And this place can’t be rented for a short period of time, right?”
“Yeah, Yuan da square is in the downtown area! What a F * cking nouveau riche!”
“Also, looking at these pictures, it seems like the interior has been renovated. There’s a big screen, a special commentator’s seat, and a holographic projection device! F * ck, that’s too much. ”
“This time, the officials have invited teams from all over the world. It seems like even the established clubs from Europe, America, and Korea will be attending. This should be the most valuable competition!”
“Let me see how much the ticket is. The highest ticket is 580 Yuan. Is this a robbery?”
“That’s right. Didn’t the most expensive front-row ticket only cost about 300 yuan in the past? it’s doubled just like that?”
“It’s too expensive!”
“Upstairs, don’t buy it if you think it’s expensive! Look at the venue, the equipment, and the free skins and figurines. Think about it, is it worth the 580 Yuan?”
“It just so happens that I’m in Shanghai. I’ve already gotten two 180 yuan tickets. I’m ready to go watch it with my girlfriend!”
“I don’t believe it. These tickets definitely can’t be sold out! I’m waiting for the official discount ticket!”
…
Some players felt that the ticket price was too expensive and wanted to wait and see. They wanted to buy low-priced tickets before the start of the game. In the end, the tickets were sold out in just a week!
Not a single card was left!
Since the venue wasn’t a large Stadium, there weren’t many seats. The ticket prices weren’t high either, so many players in Shanghai were fighting for the tickets. Some players from other places even bought tickets and were ready to take the high-speed rail to watch the competition.
In the beginning, many people thought that the scalpers were maliciously promoting the tickets. However, they soon found out that the tickets were sold e-tickets. One had to swipe their ID card to enter the venue. There was no way to promote the tickets!
At this time, the players who were waiting for the low-priced tickets panicked. They posted everywhere to buy second-hand tickets, but they could not buy them at all!
These tickets were mainly bought by local players, especially Shanghai’s local players. Because the e-sports system in this world was not mature, the popularity of the world Finals was not as high as it was in Chen Mo’s previous life. Many viewers were too lazy to go to another city to watch the game, as they found it troublesome.
However, Chen Mo knew that in another two or three years, this esports craze would quickly spread, and tickets to the S series Grand Finals would soon be hard to find.
……
On the 20th of September, when all the players of League of Legends were eagerly looking forward to the S1 World Championship, Chen Mo released another piece of shocking news.
The new game outlast had been released in the experience store, and players could try it out first. The game’s official release date was set for September 23rd, and all players would be able to experience this unique VR game.
Many players were still in a daze. What the hell, wasn’t Chen Mo busy with the world Finals? How did he find the time to make a new game, and a VR one at that!
At the start, everyone thought that the game would be a small game like Minecraft or a VR Don’t Starve, but after looking at the promotional materials, the players were all shocked.
This was a F * cking masterpiece!
Moreover, this was a horror game!
Without much publicity, the news quickly spread among the players.
The reason was simple-the gimmick of a horror game was too good!
Although there were some horror games in the country, they were all like deserted house, with no one playing them. None of them had a rating of more than 4, and they were all cursed.
The players had long been disappointed with the horror games in China. They all knew that these horror games were all fake to make money and weren’t worth playing at all.
However, if Chen Mo was the one who made the game, it would be a completely different story.
Chen Mo’s reputation among the player community was already very good. After all, he had released so many classic games, and his last VR game Minecraft had broken sales records. Many players believed without reason that even though horror games were difficult to master, as long as it was Chen Mo’s work, it was definitely worth playing!
This time, Chen Mo released some of outlast’s information, mainly the original art.
He didn’t release the video of the game because he wanted to give the players enough surprises.
These original arts were mainly background art. There were scenes of using the night vision function of the video camera to observe monsters in the dark, the main administrative building of the mental hospital in the night, a fountain filled with blood and corpses, and a mental patient shivering under a bed …
The atmosphere of these original arts was extremely strange, making everyone feel a chill down their spine.
It didn’t take long for Chen Mo’s new game, outlast, to become a hot topic among players and designers.
“Did you hear? Chen Mo released a new game, and it’s a horror game!”
“I was wondering when Chen Mo would release his first VR game, I didn’t expect it to be so soon!”
“Yeah, I thought Chen Mo would focus on League of Legends for the next few days after his performance on PC, but I didn’t expect him to make his first VR game!”
“Yeah, and looking at the original art, it doesn’t look like it’s a game like Minecraft anymore. It’s a real work.”
“Of course. In a horror game, the more realistic the scenes are, the better. Otherwise, can it still be called a horror game?”
“I didn’t expect this, I thought Chen Mo would choose MMORPG as his first VR game. He’s always so unexpected!”
“There’s no company in the country that’s willing to make a horror game. What’s Chen Mo thinking? This type is too niche!”
“Yeah, it’s hard to make a good horror game. The designer has to have perfect control over the player’s psychology. Can Chen Mo do it?”
“I heard that Chen Mo’s Experience Store is ready to be played. Do you want to form a group to try it out?”
“F * ck, I wouldn’t dare. It’s a VR horror game. I feel like I’ll lose my life!”
“It’s fine. There have been so many VR horror games in the country before, but none of them are scary. Actually, changing the horror game to VR is just to make it more immersive, just like a haunted house. It’s not that scary. ”
“Hehe, don’t try to trick me. I’m not going!”
“Just because it’s Chen Mo’s product, we have to go take a look.”
“I’m not going because of Chen Mo’s production! Think about it, all of Chen Mo’s previous games were great successes, this one was probably no exception. A very successful horror game … F * ck, it’s scary just thinking about it!”
“It’s better to be terrifying! Horror games these days were so weak that they were not even as exciting as roller coasters. As a veteran horror game enthusiast like me, I have to experience it!”
“Brave warrior above, rest in peace. If you die in the game cabin, I’ll go back and collect your corpse!”
