I Developed Battlefield to Drive Players Around the World Crazy

Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone was dumbfounded.

Schengen visa?

They do know that.

But the point is where is this going?

France, Germany, Italy or what?

"The setting of the game will be Italian Renaissance, a story about assassins.

"But the real core is the history, which is completely different from Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto, so we need to restore those familiar buildings to reality."5

Looking at the confused crowd, Chen Xu explained with a smile.

At the beginning, when the development of "Grand Theft Auto", the whole team actually went to Los Angeles for the actual assessment.

And now this game, compared to "Grand Theft Auto", needs more attention.

"Assassin's Creed".

Or more accurately, the Ezio trilogy.

This is the new work that Chen Xu is preparing to develop in preparation for the arrival of the next era of VR.

In the previous life, "Assassin's Creed" is also a large IP in the order of tens of millions.

Especially the picture of the classic white trench coat and hood leaping from a high point of faith, it was once the zero in the "cavalry on the dragon's back" CG, and became the "facade" of a domestic web game company.

.

However, compared to other 147IP games in the order of tens of millions.

The story of the assassin is also more twists and turns, from the much-anticipated release at the beginning to the Waterloo of the Great Revolution.

Although a lot of content repairs have been carried out in the follow-up, the Great Revolution itself has become better, but the "notoriety" has also spread.

This also made many passers-by players mention the most rubbish work of "Assassin's Creed", and they couldn't help but say: The Great Revolution.

Although it is wrong, it can also be imagined how much the failure of the Great Revolution has brought the assassin series.

Even the later introductions of Mutiny and Heroism were mixed.

In this case, a series of great reforms appeared.

From the rise of Origin, the heyday of Odyssey, to the glory of Valhalla.

The Mythic Trilogy opens a whole new chapter in the Assassin franchise.

It also makes the protagonist of the "Assassin's Creed" series no longer limited to assassins.

In the past, many players jokingly ridiculed "Assassin's Creed" as Berserker's Creed, mainly because of the gameplay and plot in the game, and more of it was just a joke.

And when it comes to the mythology trilogy, that's exactly what it does.

Bayek of 'a perfect wife and children' conducts a test, Kassandra of 'Sister and Brother Harmony' turns into a mercenary, and Aivor of 'Sneak Master' directly picks up two Xuanhua axes, and my Viking warriors will cut them All over Northern Europe!

If the original "Assassin's Creed" is closer to the action gameplay of the Hakoniwa thread, then the mythology trilogy is a pure open world RPG gameplay.

This practice of abandoning everything in the past has also made many old Assassin players express that they cannot accept it.

Of course, aside from the identity of Assassin's Creed, it doesn't matter whether Assassin should be an RPG or an action-adventure.

One thing is that the old assassin series and the new assassin series both agree.

That is whether the protagonist is an assassin or not, it doesn't matter.

Because the important thing in the assassin series itself is the creed, not the identity of the assassin.

Long before the mythical trilogy, and even before the Great Revolution, the work that broke the reputation of the Assassin series, appeared.

Ayu has already tried not to limit the protagonist to the identity of an assassin.

The father of the three-generation protagonist Connor: Hayerson Kenway, is the earliest test of the game.

Kenway's father, Edward Kenway, the protagonist in Black Flag, was a pirate, but also an assassin.

Likewise Haysen Kenway, his son was an Indian warrior and an assassin.

But he himself is the Templar Knight, the recognized enemy of the Assassins, and even finally staged a wave of 'touching' father and son filial piety.

From here, it is just a test of the character background that is closely related to the protagonist.

Later, Shay Cormac became the first Templar protagonist for the first time.

And he is also the protagonist who betrayed from the Assassin camp to the Templar camp.

His presence broke an inherent law.

That is, the Assassin Organization must be the righteous side, and the Templars must be the evil side.

(bbae) This is especially evident in Odyssey, Origins, and Valhalla.

The opposition between Assassins and Templars gradually blurred, replaced by Creed.

The Assassins had the Assassins' creed, and the Templars had theirs too.

Of course, the myth trilogy also has a considerable flaw, that is, after becoming an open world, plus Ayu's own canned style.

Make the portrayal of the protagonist in the game close to nothing.

For players, they are more impressed by the protagonist of the old assassin series.

Whether it is Altaïr, the white stripe in the waves, or Ezio, who is like a jade, or the weak Master Kong.

Even Dorian, the unparalleled god of war, Edward who regards money like soil, or Jacob who obeys the law and Cormac who is loyal to the organization can be said to be memorable to players.

Of course, if you want to say which protagonist is the most memorable to players, it is undoubtedly Ezio.

Biography, Brotherhood, Apocalypse, Embers.

Three games, one short film.

From youth, prime to old age, and old age, Ezio's life is perfectly portrayed.

So Chen Xu also decided to leave the protagonist of the first "Assassin's Creed" to Ezio.

As for the story of Altaïr, the great Assassin master, it can be reserved for the content of the DLC.

And the reason why the team went to Italy.

What Chen Xu wants is to let everyone in the team experience the Notre Dame Cathedral of Hundred Flowers and related classic landmarks of the Renaissance in person.

After all, the most important point of "Assassin's Creed" is the restoration of the sense of history.

It is no exaggeration to say that the previous "Assassin's Creed" series is definitely one of the games with the best sense of history.

In the past life, if you ask a player, which game can make you truly feel history.

Then many will definitely answer you: Assassin's Creed.

Even the occurrence of such a thing as the fire of Notre Dame de Paris has caused Assassin's Creed to become popular.

Because there is Notre Dame de Paris in the game, many players even think that they can use the Notre Dame de Paris in the game to restore the real Notre Dame de Paris after the fire.

Although the reality is completely impossible, it is not that important.

However, some university professors choose to use the Assassin's Creed series as teaching materials when teaching related cultural courses. This kind of thing actually happened.

From this, it can reflect the fineness of Assassin's Creed's restoration of history and culture.

Let every player experience the history through the game and travel back to the past.

Witness the story of Leonardo da Vinci, participate in Pericles' speech and Socrates' debate, and experience the emerald cold in Florence's Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Witness the romance of the Renaissance, experience the experiences of those historical figures...

Chen Xu hopes that the entire team can see for themselves what these histories look like.

If you do it in the game, how to restore that heavy feeling.
