"What the h * ll? The S1 World Finals is being held at Yuan Da Plaza?! How much did Chen Mo spend to rent this place? Probably tens of thousands a day, right? Moreover, this place can't be rented for a short period of time, right? "
"Yeah, Yuan Da Plaza is in the middle of the city! What a tycoon! "
"Moreover, looking at these pictures, it looks like it's been renovated. There's a big screen, a dedicated commentator's seat, and a holographic projector! Damn, this is insane. "
"This time, the officials invited teams from all over the world. It seems like even the veteran esports clubs from Europe, America, and Korea will be attending. This should be the most prestigious tournament ever!"
"Let me see how much the tickets cost. My goodness, the highest ticket price is 580 yuan. Is this a robbery? "
"Yeah, wasn't the most expensive front row ticket only around 300 yuan in the past? Now it's doubled?"
"That's too expensive!"
"Previous poster, don't buy it if it's too expensive! Look at the venue, the equipment, and they're giving away skins and figurines to watch the tournament. Think about it yourself, is the 580 yuan worth it? "
"I happen to be in Magic City right now. I've already bought two 180 yuan tickets. I'm going to watch it with my girlfriend!"
"I don't believe it, the tickets won't be sold out! I'm waiting for the officials to sell the tickets at reduced prices! "
Some players felt that the tickets were too expensive and wanted to wait until the start of the tournament before buying the tickets at reduced prices. However, in the short span of a week, the tickets were all sold out!
Not a single ticket was left!
As the venue wasn't a large stadium, there weren't many seats, and the ticket prices weren't high, many players in Magic City were fighting for the tickets. Even some players from other cities bought tickets, preparing to take the high-speed train to watch the tournament.
At first, many people thought that it was a scalper who was maliciously speculating. However, they soon realized that the tickets were sold electronically. You had to swipe your ID to enter, so there was no way to speculate!
At this time, the players who were waiting for the reduced prices started to panic. They posted everywhere asking for second-hand tickets, but they couldn't get any!
These tickets were mainly bought by local players, especially Magic City players. As the eSports system in this world wasn't mature, the popularity of the World Finals wasn't as high as it was in Chen Mo's previous world. Many viewers were too lazy to change cities to watch the tournament, feeling that it was too troublesome.
However, Chen Mo knew that in another two or three years, the eSports craze would quickly grow, and tickets for the S Series Finals would be hard to come by.
…
On the 20th of September, just as the players of LoL were eagerly anticipating the S1 World Finals, Chen Mo made another big announcement.
The new game, Outlast, was released in the experience store. Players could try it out in the experience store, and the game's official release date was September 23rd. By then, players would be able to try out this unique VR game.
Many players were still in a daze. What the hell? Wasn't Chen Mo busy with the World Championship? How did he find the time to make a new game, and a VR game at that!
In the beginning, everyone thought it would be a small game like Minecraft, or a VR version of Don't Starve, but the players were shocked after seeing the promotional materials.
This was a masterpiece!
Moreover, this was a horror game!
Without much publicity, the news quickly spread among the players.
The reason was simple. Horror games were too much of a gimmick!
Although there were a few horror games in China, they were all the same as Haunted Mansion. No one played them, and none of them had a rating of more than 4.
The players were already disappointed with the horror games in China. They all knew that these games were just for show, and weren't worth playing.
However, if Chen Mo was the one who made this game, then it would be a different story.
Chen Mo's reputation among the players was quite good. After all, he had released so many classic games, and his last VR game, Minecraft, had set a record. Many players believed that although horror games were difficult to handle, as long as it was made by Chen Mo, it was definitely worth playing!
This time, Chen Mo released a bit of Outlast's information, mainly the artwork.
He didn't release any gameplay videos, as he wanted to give the players enough of a surprise.
The concept art mainly consisted of scenes. There were scenes of people observing monsters with night vision cameras in the dark, the main administrative building of the mental hospital in the dark, a fountain filled with blood and corpses, and a mental patient shivering under a sickbed …
The atmosphere of the original art was extremely creepy, sending chills down everyone's spine.
It didn't take long for Chen Mo's new game, Outlast, to become a hot topic among the 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 that Chen Mo would focus on League of Legends for a while after seeing how well it did on PC. I didn't expect him to make his first VR game already!"
"Yeah, and looking at the art, it doesn't look like a Minecraft game anymore. It's a proper game."
"Obviously, a horror game has to be as realistic as possible, or else would it still be a horror game?"
"I didn't expect this. I thought Chen Mo would choose an MMORPG for his first VR game. He always surprises people!"
"There's no company in China that wants to make horror games. What is Chen Mo thinking? It's such a niche genre! "
"Yeah, it's mainly because horror games are hard to make. It requires the designer to have a good grasp of the player's psychology. Can Chen Mo do that?"
"I heard that Chen Mo's experience store is ready for play. Do you want to form a group and try it out?"
"My goodness, I wouldn't dare to play a VR horror game. I feel like I'm going to die!"
"It's fine. There have been so many VR horror games in China before, and they weren't scary at all. Actually, changing a horror game to VR would just make it more immersive, just like a haunted house. It's not that scary. "
"Hehe, don't try to fool me. I'm not going!"
"I have to check it out just because it's Chen Mo's product."
"I'm not going because it's Chen Mo's product! Think about it, all of Chen Mo's previous games have been successful, this one will be no exception. A successful horror game … My goodness, it's scary just thinking about it! "
"It's good to be scary! Horror games these days are so lame, it's not even as exciting as a roller coaster ride. As a horror game enthusiast like me, I have to experience it! "
