Roberts finally said: "This is an epoch-making game, operating on an epoch-making platform, bringing an epoch-making experience to users around the world!"
There was a burst of applause at the scene, and the fans of Star Citizen cheered enthusiastically. This game has been a hard road for 12 years, and players around the world are willing to pay for the sci-fi world that Roberts described to them. raised, and eventually broke the industry crowdfunding record, reaching an unprecedented $160 million. Starting from 2013, it was scheduled to be listed in the fall of 2016, and finally postponed to 2019. After several bounces, when everyone was looking forward to the final release date, all of a sudden it was cut across the board and all the crowdfunding funds were refunded. Matrix Technology’s Step in, it's finally going on sale today!
Twelve years of waiting, the birth of Star Citizen has three waves, and the road is bumpy. Twelve years of sharpening a sword directly points to becoming the next World of Warcraft phenomenon-level online game.
After a while, Roberts held the microphone again and announced a series of news that Star Citizen players around the world are most looking forward to. He said: "The release date of Star Citizen is synchronized with the virtual world, and the game's running platform is only the virtual world platform. If you want to play Star Citizen, you only need to buy the game at one time, and there is no need to pay for the subsequent use. Some in-game items may cost a little bit, but this is not the only way to get them. All the items we sell can be purchased through ordinary games. The way to get it, players have more choices.”
"Star Citizen finally sells for $60!"
The last sentence surprised the players present. Jack looked sideways at his friend and said, "Are you sure you heard it right? $60?"
"It's really $60!" Matthews, his good friend, nodded affirmatively.
"The production cost of nearly 1.8 billion US dollars, but the 3rd-level super production is only sold for the price of the 3rd-level big production. Isn't it necessary to sell 50 million copies to recover the cost? Is Radish Roberts crazy?" During Jack's trip to China, he suddenly wondered why companies in the world have become so high, and they don't take money as money.
Matthews smiled playfully: "Hey, who knows? Maybe Radish Head is ambitious and wants to set an unprecedented world record, 12 years of polishing, 12 years of cost recovery, and another 12 years of profitability. What. Thirty-six years in total!"
"You're wrong, man!" Jack suddenly laughed: "Obviously, the root cause is the thigh that the carrot head hugged, but we're also happy to see the game Star Citizen, I definitely want to Started, only 60 US dollars, good quality and cheap!"
As the Roberts company ended the developer symposium, the 8,000 sets of perception helmets on site were officially opened for free experience ten minutes ago. At the entrance of the lobby, the first round of tourists who got the free experience were here in advance. The queue was lined up and waited. As the first round of 8,000 tourists entered the venue, the second round began to line up, staring at the venue one by one.
Jack's small group is going to the fifth round, and there is a specific time marked. When they are free, they naturally go to other places to stroll. They soon came to the Ubisoft exhibition area, Ubisoft Corporation The representative work of Assassin's Creed series attracted much attention at this exhibition. Because the game setting of Assassin's Creed is that the protagonist experiences a series of assassination deeds by medieval assassins through virtual games, and now the real virtual world is born, which makes this game quite topical.
Matthews walked towards a peripheral booth of Ubisoft with bright eyes. Many Ubisoft fans were watching here. When they saw their favorite peripherals, they did not hesitate to pay for them. Tourists who bought peripheral products were all right. Matthews is a true fan of Assassin's Creed. He looked at the most eye-catching items on the booth and said, "How much is this figure?"
As soon as these words came out, the tourists around him were surprised. Matthews was staring at the well-known characters of the Assassin's Creed series. Saliva, but the expensive price of more than 7,000 yuan makes them discouraged, even if they are true fans.
The girl in the booth immediately lit up. Seeing that Matthews is a European and American face, she immediately replied in fluent English: "7332 RMB, which is 1128 US dollars!"
"Man, are you planning to ship this thing from China to the United States? Are you not afraid of breaking it midway?" Jack suddenly reminded his good friend, said.
The girl in the booth saw Matthews hesitated for a while, and her heart suddenly became anxious, but she smiled: "It's okay sir, we can ship to the United States by air through the logistics company, the whole process is guaranteed, and the postage is half price. !”
Matthews looked at Jack, who shrugged silently, and Matthews looked at the sales girl and said, "I can't pay cash, can I pay with pp?"
"Of course!"
The transaction was completed quickly, and Matthews happily took a photo with the latest Assassin's Creed character figure, and also pulled the girl's paper, "This figure has a special meaning, it helped me complete $500,000. I swear I have absolutely no intention of showing off. Well, it seems that it is time to expand my personal exhibition space. Assassin's Creed series, The Witcher series, the Tomb Raider series haha, please call me real. Who in the world is crazier than me!"
"Of course!"
Just when Matthews was intoxicated, a voice suddenly appeared beside him, and he said subconsciously: "Who? Maybe we can communicate, is it you? Friend! How many figures have you collected?" Matthews Si looked at the speaker, who was a Chinese, and saw that he took out the smart device in his hand to show Matthews, and said with a smile: "Of course it's not me, but I can do it with a hand, no one in the world can do it. Pass him!"
Hearing this, Jack and the others immediately raised their heads and looked at the device screen curiously. After a while, Jack burst into laughter, "Matthews, you are nothing in front of him, aren't you getting hit? Wow!"
"This is not fair!" Matthews spread his hands with a defeated expression on his face. The Chinese showed him a very interesting picture. It was the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and he also returned a picture of the first emperor. In the classic picture, the Chinese person also specially marked a line of English subtitles: I heard that someone wants to make a figure with me?
This picture is a perfect match for all sorts of figurines!
After the episode, Jack and the others walked around the Ubisoft exhibition area, then went to Comello, Square Enix, basically the five major game companies turned around, and as time passed, it was finally about to turn to the fifth It's the turn, it's almost noon now.
Finally, Matthews and others stepped into the experience area, looking at the thousands of perception helmets placed on the table, their hearts were inexplicably excited. Everyone came to the area of No. 7900 according to the small paper tickets in their hands, and the staff in this area began to say: "Everyone choose a comfortable posture to do it first, and sense that the device is powered on, just like wearing a helmet, put them on on the head"
