"No, it's so expensive? It's twice as expensive as The Binding of Isaac!"

"That's right, what era did the pixel art style come from? Why are they so expensive?"

"But what I'm more interested in is why does this pixel game cost so much? I checked the official registration of a game that costs tens of millions!"

"Isn't it? Making tens of millions of pixel games?"

"Am I the only one who noticed it? The BGM in the promotional video sounds great. It's Miracle Entertainment's Chen Gang who is in charge of the music!"

“I feel that the graphics of the game are also very good! The snow scenes and the light and shadow of the desert are very good!”

Many players have started talking about this price.

Many people in the game industry have also been paying attention to "Octopath Traveler" and started discussing it as soon as the promotional video was released.

"Yang Chen is too brave to play! He actually spent tens of millions of dollars to make a pixel game?"

"The use of art is particularly brilliant, and the music in the game is really great. The soundtrack by Chen Gang and Miracle Entertainment is not a boast. Although it is expensive, it is really worth the money. After all, this is a pixel game!"

"Although the cost is very high, including special effects and various light and shadow pictures, a lot of money has been spent. I have to admit that although the expression style of this pixel art is great, the final visual effect is still pixels after all. Most of them

Players probably still won’t buy it.”

"The most important thing is that this game is a little too expensive. Although it only takes 500,000 yuan to make back the investment, but this money can buy 3A masterpieces that are already discounted on major platforms. Who would buy one?

A pixel-style JRPG game?”

"Yes, the cost of production is out of the cost range of independent games, but from the perspective of visual performance, for most ordinary players, this is still very similar to independent games."

Many people in the gaming industry expressed their disapproval.

Although everyone has some familiarity with the game's graphics from being in this industry, it can be clearly seen that this game called "Octoward Traveler" is not retro for the sake of retro, and has even innovated on a simple pixel style.

But more people are still not optimistic about it, because pixel games are not mainstream to begin with, let alone a JRPG in the RPG genre?

Even Lin Jiayi, who has always been in this field, said that similar turn-based RPGs are too restrictive and that ARPG will be the mainstream in the future. The products left over from such an era are just antiques no matter how you think about them.

JRPG is already a niche game, and with the addition of pixel style, it becomes a niche within a niche.

Although the previous "The Binding of Isaac" was a crude pixel game, its outstanding creativity and highly playable random gameplay were enough to make players ignore its graphics.

But for a game like JRPG, a game that tells a good story, how can you finish it?

"I'm so angry! Why does this guy say that we are inflated? He also cursed that our game may not even reach 300,000 sales!"

In the room, Wang Yaliang, who had just taken a shower and dried his hair, was wearing a facial mask and looking at the information on the laptop in front of him. He grabbed the mouse and clicked it twice on the side, making a snapping sound.

"Woof woof woof..." Gangdan, who was paralyzed beside the bed and wagging his tail, was startled and suddenly stood up and looked at Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang on the bed.

"Stop barking and stop playing." Yang Chen casually took a red toy the size of a tennis ball from the drawer and threw it aside.

After watching the steel egg happily chasing the ball, Yang Chen turned to look at Wang Yaliang on the bed: "Who is spraying us again?"

"I don't know, it's a post made by someone else in the forum." Wang Yaliang pouted and said unhappily.

Listening to Wang Yaliang's words, Yang Chen couldn't help but show a speechless expression on his face.

For an ordinary passerby, you can just squirt without even knowing whether it is a boy or a girl.

Why are you so angry? He thought it was some famous game self-media or some influential person who complained.

But think about it, it's impossible. Is there any game at the same time that wouldn't step on me?

Moreover, we are all in the industry, and there is no deep hatred or hatred. If you want to play, you are also playing dirty tricks. Who would step on you in an upright manner?

Even if there is, unless the other party has really lost his mind, it is more of a show to promote the game, or the traffic media is simply provoking a war.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Yang Chen patted Wang Yaliang's arm: "There are many people like this who lead the rhythm. Now they are scolding us like the enemy who killed his father. Maybe when the time comes our game will be sold.

It’s so good that he suddenly became our true fan again.”

"And there are so many fans who support us, why do we need to see people who say bad things about us?" Yang Chen smiled and hugged Wang Yaliang next to him, passed his hand under the other person's armpit, grabbed the hand holding the mouse, and opened social media

Platform account.

Under the comments on the tweet that previously released the promotional news, many players who got into the game from "The Binding of Isaac" expressed their support for "Octopath Traveler" and their support for Nebula Studio.

There are also many people who marvel at the combination of pixels and modern graphics technology in the game, as well as the original paintings of the game.

"I know it too, but I just can't help but pay attention to it." Wang Yaliang glanced at the time and slapped Yang Chen's hand holding her away, then took off the mask on his face and massaged it.

Yang Chen couldn't help but be speechless.

Compared to the game industry, which is not optimistic about this game, Galaxy Network, which has distributed it as an agent, is conducting the largest promotion through all channels, and what players care more about is not the subject matter, but the content of the game itself.

In the JRGP game forum, a large number of players who like JRPG are discussing the news about "Octoward Traveler".

"I heard that a new JRPG has been released. It's from the developer of "The Binding of Isaac". It's called "Octopath Traveler". It's very popular recently."

"I've definitely heard about it, but I'm a bit uninterested. I can't stand the pixel style anymore."

"But the cost was tens of millions, and it was determined on the official platform. It's not the kind of thing the manufacturer brags about."

"Really invested tens of millions? Is the producer crazy? What pixels can be made with so much money!"

"No, I saw the picture. Although it is pixels, it is not pixels in the traditional sense. How should I put it? If I were asked to play those old JRPG games in the past, the pixel pictures would definitely dissuade me, but this "Bafang"

The feeling "Traveler" gives me is not that bad. Although it is pixelated, it is very beautiful and comfortable."

A group of players who are paying attention to "Octopath Traveler" have been blown up for discussion.

Those who can gather here basically like JRPG games. Even if you don’t want to admit it, you have to say that it does seem to be declining. There are too few games of this type.

, and there are even fewer good games.

As players who follow Octopath Traveler join in, more and more people are exchanging opinions.
