The popularity of GTA caught the players and various video game media by surprise. Many people didn’t even expect that there would be so many cloud players in the game!

“Yes, everyone knew that GTA was Chen Mo’s ultimate move this year, and even Chen Mo himself had praised the game before it was released. It was obvious that the game was different. ”

“However, there were still some people who were not optimistic about the game. The reason was simple-the platform. ”

“The matrix gaming pod cost 300000 Yuan, and its production capacity was limited. So far, the number of matrix gaming pods was far less than the number of traditional gaming pods, let alone the number of PC. ”

“There were more than 100 million traditional VR users in China, and because of the price and production capacity of the matrix gaming pods, only nearly 10 million units had been sold worldwide. ”

“From Chen Mo’s experience in his previous life, ten million for a new gaming device was already a shocking number. However, there were other factors that contributed to the sales of the gaming pods in parallel world. ”

“The reason why mobile phones and PC sales were much higher than game consoles was that these two devices played an irreplaceable role in people’s daily lives. Mobile phones had to be carried around for social networking, internet surfing, and using various daily applications, while PC played an important office role. For these two devices, the game was only one of the functions. It could be said that they had entered all aspects of the player’s life and were indispensable. ”

“On the other hand, specialized game consoles were only targeted at hardcore players, so their sales naturally couldn’t be compared to mobile phones and PC. ”

“As for the matrix gaming pod, its purpose was not only for gaming and entertainment, but also for mobile phones, PC, or the matrix glasses. It had a disruptive impact on people’s daily lives and profoundly changed the lifestyle of players. ”

“Therefore, in the long run, the people of this world were very optimistic about the matrix gaming cabin, and the sales would definitely continue to rise. ”

“In fact, there were already traditional VR gaming pods that had opened up a path for the matrix gaming pod. The players in this world were very supportive of the VR pod. There were currently 100 million traditional VR users in China, and around 800 million in the world. These people could all be seen as potential users of the matrix gaming pod. ”

“By this standard, the nearly 10 million sales of the matrix gaming pod was only in the development stage compared to the traditional VR industry. ”

“It was no wonder that many people didn’t have high expectations for GTA at the beginning. After all, it was separated from the original traditional VR platform and monopolized the new matrix gaming pods. It was almost inevitable that the sales and influence would be limited. ”

Chen Mo’s previous games easily sold millions or even tens of millions of copies. A phenomenal VR game like PlayerUnknown’s Battleground had more than forty million copies and was approaching fifty million copies. Standalone games like end of the United States and The Legend of Zelda that focused on story or gameplay also sold more than ten million copies. It was clear that Chen Mo had achieved success in the traditional VR industry.

“However, the matrix gaming pod had only sold for less than 10 million so far. He couldn’t expect all of the matrix gaming pod users to spend money to buy GTA, right? No matter how good the game was, it still depended on the player’s preferences and taste. ”

“As soon as the game was released, the haters were shocked. From the popularity of the streaming and video streaming sites, the game was even more popular than many of the previous phenomenal VR games! ”

“It would be impossible for all the players who paid attention to GTA to buy matrix gaming pods and games. In other words, more than half of this group of people, or even 90%, were cloud players. ”

“Slaughter live streaming sites, slaughter video sites, slaughter game forums, Weibo, and question and answer sites ‘Hot Searches … You could see elements related to GTA in almost every place related to games. ”

“To be able to become so popular just by relying on cloud players, it could be said to be incredible. ”

“One of the key points of the Matrix’s next generation VR was the sense of immersion. The players ‘souls were truly transmigrated into the game, and they had to do the operation of walking, shooting, driving, and flying by themselves. This was one of the important selling points of the game. ”

“However, cloud players could not experience this feeling at all. They could only watch the live streamer killing everyone in the game like they were watching traditional games. They could not experience this kind of immersion at all. ”

“Even so, GTA was still popular among countless cloud players. It could be seen that the game was not only “”selling the feeling””, but it also had rich playing methods and profound meanings. In other words, even if GTA wasn’t a next-gen VR game, but a traditional PC game or even a handheld game, it would still be popular. ”

As for why the game was so popular?

“In the eyes of the players, GTA was a multi-in-one game, and different players could experience different things. ”

“First of all, it was a story-oriented standalone game with crime as its theme. ”

“With the urban setting of the modern Lighthouse nation, the narrative of multiple protagonists ‘porv techniques, the plot was full of tension, full of cold humor, imagination, and merciless insinuations of the various deep-rooted diseases of modern society. ”

“Not to mention the three main characters, there were all kinds of supporting characters. There were gangsters, drug lords, investors, celebrities, corrupt officials, hackers, movie producers, strippers, office workers, scientists, psychologists, fitness coaches … To create so many characters in a single-player game, it was evident how much effort was put into building the world. ”

“From this point of view, GTA was no different from the previous Triple-A works, and even better. ”

“Secondly, it was a dazzling game that allowed players to explore infinite possibilities. ”

“Just like how players could show off their skills in League of Legends or PlayerUnknown’s Battleground, GTA also allowed players to show off things that others couldn ‘t. And with the help of the next generation of VR, players could do almost all the actions that were theoretically allowed in the virtual world, which gathered a large number of performers and viewers. It was not surprising that it was popular on live streaming platforms and video websites. ”

“Finally, it was a driving simulation game that included the experience of cars, planes, and ships, with modern urban scenery as the background. ”

“Bicycles, motorcycles, sports cars, big trucks, helicopters, propeller planes, fighter jets, water speedboats … Almost all the vehicles that players could think of could be bought or snatched in GTA, and they could personally drive them to Los Santos. ”

“The game was also full of all kinds of related content, such as racing, stunt flying, parachuting, diving, and so on. The experience was even completely beyond many large-scale racing games. ”

“Even if the players themselves were not good at driving, they could continue to hone their driving skills in GTA. From being a hothead who hit things when they left the house, they could grow into experienced drivers who drove around the bend of a drain. Coupled with the support of the next generation VR technology, this kind of driving experience could be said to be unprecedented. ”

“Many rich people spent millions to modify their sports cars just to get the thrill of speeding. But to them, they had a lot of money, but they only had one life. In real life, the chances of surviving a car accident were almost zero if one drove more than 200 or even 300 kilometers. However, in GTA, there was no need to worry at all, and one could also get almost the same driving experience as in reality. ”
