While the Matrix gaming pods were selling like hotcakes, Chen Mo also announced a new piece of news, mainly about future VR game remakes.
The seaside mansion in "The Oasis" would be the first content to be reset. After the reset, all the Matrix game cabins would undergo a system update by default, and "The Oasis" would become the default login space for all the Matrix game cabins.
This meant that when players woke up in the Matrix gaming pod, they would find themselves in the seaside mansion in Oasis.
Moreover, the players wouldn't wake up in their bed, but in the Matrix gaming pod in the study.
This was just a joke. The login location of the players in Oasis was the virtual matrix game cabin in the seaside mansion. It gave them the feeling of entering another game cabin from one game cabin to the next, which greatly enhanced the players' sense of immersion.
There were many different manufacturers of traditional VR gaming pods, and there were also many manufacturers of VR games. Therefore, the login interface of most VR gaming pods was designed in a more conservative way. Just like a computer desktop, it was often just a beautiful scene with few interactive elements.
However, the Matrix gaming pod was different. There was only one next-generation VR gaming pod in the world, and it was Chen Mo's own product, so of course he could play it however he wanted.
This way, the Matrix gaming pod and Thunderbolt Gaming Platform would become a closed system. From hardware to software, as long as it was compatible with his own product, there would be more room for improvement.
Another important piece of news was that all VR remakes would be priced the same. If players already bought the original, they would only need to pay ten percent of the original price to get the remake.
For example, Assassin's Creed: Origins was priced at 1980. No matter how much the player bought it, the remake would only cost 198. If the player didn't buy the original, they would have to pay 1980 + 198 without any discounts.
The players were all excited when they heard this news, expressing how generous Salent was!
In reality, the price of the remake was up to the manufacturer. If Chen Mo said that all the remakes were priced the same as the original at 1980, the players wouldn't be able to do anything about it. They could only curse that Salent was selling the remakes as a new game, while praising how nice it was when it was released.
However, it seemed like the remade games only cost ten percent of the original price, which was very generous to the older players. 1980 was more than enough to buy ten remakes of classic VR games, it was like giving them away for free.
Of course, the prerequisite was that you had to buy the old version of the game …
But no matter what, this pricing strategy was already very cost-effective.
The Matrix gaming pod was Chen Mo's son's product, so it had to be installed with the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform. The players knew that there would be no lack of games for this. After all, Thunderbolt Entertainment's R&D capabilities were second to none in the world.
Now that Chen Mo announced the prices of these games, it was equivalent to sending a message to the players: Don't worry when you buy the Matrix gaming pod, there are plenty of games!
…
On the other hand, the independent video game designers working with Thunderbolt Gaming Platform were also making the next generation of VR games.
For the designers, the difficulty of developing a next-generation VR game wasn't that high after receiving the development rules from Chen Mo. The main difficulty was developing a game that was perfectly compatible with the new equipment.
PlayerUnknown's Battleground was a good example. After changing to the new VR version, players would have absolute freedom in the game and could execute more complex and varied tactical actions. You want to crawl sideways? No problem. You want to pick up a brick from the ground and throw it at someone? No problem. You want to disassemble your gun and throw the ammo to the side, making it useless even if someone picked it up? No problem either.
Compared to the original VR version, the new version of PlayerUnknown's Battleground was a step closer to 'reality'. This was the biggest advantage of the Matrix gaming pod as a new piece of equipment.
Of course, in order to simplify the game's rules and the player's controls, not everything could be 'realistic'. This was something the designers had to work on themselves.
For the designers, the Matrix gaming pod was the future. Now that it was selling so well all over the world, making a game specifically for next-generation VR would have a lot of potential.
Moreover, even if they didn't care about money, the designers were more than willing to make next-generation VR games, as this represented the newest trend in video games!
Didn't the designers work hard to make better games so they could catch up to and even lead the newest trend in video games?
The appearance of the new gaming pod also affected the 'Oasis Project' that Chen Mo was planning. Fortunately, the Oasis Project was scheduled to be released in November, giving the designers plenty of time to make changes. As VR technology entered the next generation, the Oasis Project would definitely be given a new meaning.
…
…
The second week after the release of the Matrix gaming pod, Oasis was updated to the gamers' VR gaming pods.
Although it looked like a new bottle of old wine to many players, after taking a sip, they realized that it tasted really good!
Under the framework of next-generation VR technology, everything in Oasis became more realistic, and the freedom of the players increased exponentially.
However, many players who were obsessed with reading discovered that there was a clause in the update: Nuannuan has been given an epic enhancement.
The players who didn't read the details of the update naturally didn't care about it, and the players who did were also confused. What was an epic enhancement?
Most of the players didn't pay much attention to it. After the Oasis update, they immediately went to their mansions to pet their dogs. After all, they had been so engrossed in the new gaming pod that they had neglected their dogs for a long time.
However, there were some players who had bold ideas and tried to do something bold to Nuannuan.
Yes, they succeeded, but the consequences were severe.
One of the players touched Nuannuan's thigh, and was locked down by Nuannuan.
Pile Driver + Head Slam + Meteor Shower + Burning War Hammer + War Stomp …
Hmm … The situation was out of control. Even the loyal dog only dared to show half his head and watch carefully, not daring to make a sound.
After the attack, Nuannuan dusted her hands and went back to reading, as if nothing had happened.
The players were left lying on the ground, their minds blank.
