Almighty Game Designer Chapter 843: Serent’s new world-class IP


Shortly after the release of "Assassin's Creed: Origins", "Castle: Middle Ages" was also released as scheduled.

Although these are two different types of games, they are still inevitably compared by many players in other aspects besides the gameplay.

For example, historical background and combat system.

If you change the names of these two games, "Assassin's Creed: Origins" can be called "Egypt Simulator", and "Castle: Middle Ages" can be called "Medieval Simulator". Although the gameplay cores of the two are not the same, they have a very close selling point, which is the architecture of the entire historical environment.

For many players who like historical themes and cold weapon battles, these two games are both very good choices, because they both reproduce the history of a certain period very well, giving people a kind of crossing Illusion, while allowing players to play a very important role in this history.

However, after comparing the "historical elements" of these two games, many players will find that the historical accomplishments of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" even completely surpass those of historical themes!

First of all, the story layout of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" is more ambitious. Geographically speaking, the story covers the entire northern part of ancient Egypt, and each city and village has a unique story. The "Castle: Middle Ages" is limited to only one castle. Although the tasks are equally rich, they are limited after all.

Secondly, the story background of "Assassin’s Creed: Origins" is inseparable from major historical events. Players can manipulate Bayek and Aya to talk to famous figures in history such as Caesar and Cleopatra. Complete major historical battles together. In "Castle: Middle Ages", there are not too many historical characters. Although all aspects of the game reproduce the details of the Middle Ages, the historical age is not too strong.

The most important point is that "Assassin's Creed: Origins" chose Egypt as the location of the story, which is more attractive than medieval Europe.

Actually, there are too many studies, documents and literary works about the European Middle Ages, and game works are also endless. When game developers think of cold weapon battles or magical stories, their first reaction is to draw materials from the European Middle Ages. Therefore, this is a very mature subject that has lost its freshness.

Of course, "Castle: Middle Ages" relies on its own unique gameplay, using a combination of simulation management and realistic combat, which can make a clear difference from other medieval themed games, and it is still a pioneering work. ; But if you just take out the subject matter to compare with "Assassin's Creed: Origins", it looks eclipsed.

……

The label "Egyptian style" is not only popular in China, but also aroused widespread attention from players abroad.

For European and American players who have played too many cold weapon combat themes, this story that took place in Ancient Egypt is full of freshness. Especially the setting of the story is very pleasing. It belongs to a historical period that players are familiar with, but not tired of playing. Coupled with the amazing beauty of ancient Egypt, many players can't help but indulge in it.

On foreign game websites and forums, European and American players are also discussing the differences between Chen Mo’s new game and previous games.

""Assassin's Creed: Origins" was a great surprise for me! I originally thought Serente would temporarily fall into a period of confusion after developing "The Last of Us", or continue this style. But He did not, but turned his attention to the field of history! And it is equally good!"

"Yes, I was also very surprised. You know, Serente had almost never been involved in historical subjects before, but this time, he managed to surpass what he has always been known for in historical subjects. This is really unexpected!"

"Yes, especially as an open world game, the content of "Assassin’s Creed: Origins" is really too rich! It is like an encyclopedia of ancient Egypt, from humanities, history, architecture, The environment and other aspects have shown us the Egypt of a thousand years ago. I have been addicted to ancient Egypt for several days and I absolutely love it!"

"What interests me is the setting of the Assassin Order. Yes, there are actually many clues related to the Assassin in the history of the world, but this game did first put forward the concept of the Assassin Order At the end of the game, Aya and Bayek established the Assassin Organization in Rome and Egypt respectively, and told the origin of the Assassin logo... Since the name of this game is "Assassin's Creed", I would like to know Will there be follow-up story development?"

"I think it will definitely happen. After all, what does the "creed" in "Assassin’s Creed" mean? It’s not very clear. Moreover, there will be a lot of content for reference in future history, some Ancient Egypt is more suitable for collecting materials, such as Europe."

"I am pessimistic about this, because Serente never counts 2..."

"But Serente will publish the collection dlc, have you forgotten "Uncharted"? And ~IndoMTL.com~ In animus, there are many unlocked modules, I think it is forced by Serent In terms of disease, he absolutely does not allow unfilled holes to appear, and these unlocked modules will definitely be made!"

"Really? That's great! To be honest, I really like this series, not only its gameplay, but also its historical and cultural background! If there are more "Assassin's Creed" series appear , Then I’m definitely going to buy it!"

……

The major game evaluation websites have also given high scores to "Assassin's Creed: Origins", and tgn, who gave it a score of 9.2, gave such a comment.

"Another benchmark and world-class IP for Serente is born!"

""Assassin’s Creed: Origins" takes players in a dark, multi-faceted, and profound way into the most seductive environment of the series, ancient Egypt. The protagonist Bayek is a sympathetic and courageous Assassin, he is driven by revenge. Players will experience a tortuous story from his point of view: In this story, there are pharaohs and corrupt leaders, as well as the love gained and lost. You will also see the people at the bottom serve until tired. The tragedy of death but no one cares about."

""Assassin’s Creed: Origins" has brought an intense journey. It challenges players’ concepts of right and wrong, and makes you think about the legitimacy of killings during the game. Moreover, this game is for ancient Egypt The degree of true restoration of the game is surprising, and it often makes people feel a sense of transcendence. It can be said that it has achieved the highest level of history. Although there are a few bugs in the game, it can be seen from the introduction at the beginning of the game. It seems that Serente did it deliberately? Anyway, this is an immersive game, and there are no alternative products on the market at all. It is worthy of your heart to sink and experience!"
