Almighty Game Designer Chapter 869: The meaning of the creed
The process of the entire game is very long, even if Lao Song is fascinated and plays every day, when he really gets through, "Assassin's Creed: Revelations" has already been released.
Looking back at his journey through the game, Lao Song feels a bit like a world away.
In more than ten days, Lao Song experienced the lives of three people, spanning the past and present, including Jerusalem, Damascus, Florence, Constantinople and many other famous cities in history.
During dozens of hours of long game time, "Assassin’s Creed: Revelations" has created the image of three great assassins, and for Ezio, it is the extravagance of his experience from birth to twilight It's all revealed.
What's more commendable is that each of these three protagonists has a different life, different experience, and different personality charm.
Altaïr started recklessly and later became an Assassin mentor. His behavior changed the Assassins’ code of conduct and guided the development of the Assassin’s organization. After studying the Golden Apple, he improved the Assassin’s Hidden Blade. It also spared the later assassins from the pain of severed fingers.
Through Altaïr’s experience, the players and Altaïr also understood the true meaning of Assassin’s Creed "Everything is emptied and everything is allowed".
At the beginning, Altaïr thought that this creed meant that the assassin could do whatever he wanted, but then he gradually understood that this creed was originally a kind of wisdom. Later, Altaïr reduced his arrogance and arrogance, and became a calm, focused, humble, patient and intelligent man, shouldering the responsibility of leading the entire assassin organization forward.
"Everything is empty, everything is allowed" is actually a kind of respect for free will. People's will and thoughts should not be constrained by rules. It is because of the existence of free will that new ideas will continue to appear, human civilization will continue to develop and progress, and the entire human society and ethnic groups will have vitality.
The assassins, like the Templars, have the ideal of building a perfect world, but this perfect world is by no means a cruel order. The assassins hope that the human will will be liberated someday, without legal constraints. Control your behavior.
Altaïr spent his entire life to understand the true meaning of Assassin's Creed. If it weren't for Altaïr, perhaps the entire Assassin organization would have been destroyed by Altaïr's mentor Al Mullin or Abbas. And Altaïr's thoughts continued to spread, affecting the thoughts of all assassins in later generations.
Ezio Auditore's life is even more magnificent.
In "Assassin’s Creed: Revelations", Ezio’s story occupies three quarters of the entire game, and even tells his entire experience from birth to his twilight years, which is all the games made before Chen Mo It’s never seen before. In terms of time, it can be called a long heroic narrative poem.
In Ezio's youth, he gradually understood his mission as an assassin in the process of revenge, became mature, wise, and courageous, and gradually grew into a qualified assassin master.
In Ezio's prime of life, in order to fight the Borgia family of the Templars, he recruited citizens from the bottom to join the Brotherhood and revitalized the Assassin organization.
In Ezio's twilight years, he searched for the keys left by Altaïr, finally opened the library, saw Altaïr's remains, and completed his historical mission.
As for Desmond, his plot is the least, and players always ignore him at the beginning.
He is unwilling to accept his fate as an assassin, he likes to protect his friends, and he desires to live like an ordinary person.
So, he escaped, preferring to be a bartender.
But destiny made a joke with him. He was kidnapped by Abstergo and involved in the struggle between the Assassins and the Templars.
However, as the plot unfolds step by step, everyone has also seen Desmond's changes. His body began to glow with the glory of freedom and faith, and he took on the mission of saving the world without hesitation.
……
This long game experience made Lao Song feel too much.
Maybe because of the spirit of the protagonists? Or the yearning for free will in Assassin's Creed?
Maybe because of the high degree of reproduction of history and cities in the game?
Perhaps the indescribable sense of fate and epic in the whole story?
Before, Song originally thought that "Assassin’s Creed: Revelations" would be the same as "Assassin’s Creed: Origins". Most of the pen and ink will be concentrated on the stories of the ancient protagonists, showing the ancient exotic customs. The plots of the pioneers are only It's just a little foreshadowing or easter egg.
But he soon realized that he was wrong. "Assassin’s Creed: Revelations" not only appeared as a forerunner in the ancient plot, but even specially produced a modern protagonist, perfecting the forerunner, ancient thread, and modern thread. Stringed up.
On the issue of dealing with history, "Assassin's Creed: Revelations" still inherited the characteristics of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" and carried it forward.
In the game, the story is not limited to history, nor stubbornly trying to reproduce all historical truths. Instead, it displays history in a "combination of reality and reality".
For example, the Assassin Mentor Al Mullin, the Borgia family, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and so on in the game~ IndoMTL.com~ are all real characters in history, and the protagonists have gone through each Cities, such as Florence and Jerusalem, have restored their true appearance as much as possible in the game.
For another example, the Assassin Organization has prototypes in history, and the weapons used by the Assassins, including Hidden Blades, also have prototypes. Even when dubbing, foreign voice actors are specifically asked to bring other accents in English to highlight these. The identity characteristics of the role.
However, it is clear that most of the plots in this story are fictitious. It is just a good use of the historical background to connect the unresolved mysteries and clues in history, unified into " Under the background of the story of Assassin’s Creed, it creates a sense of reality and illusion, like those illusory legends, like those unbelievable secrets in Uncharted Seas.
This close integration of art and reality makes the whole story of "Assassin’s Creed: Revelations" both real and exciting. Players really feel like they’ve gone through a long time to return to the past and experience those A wonderful story that is not known to ordinary people, this feeling is simply unparalleled.
