Chapter 833 "Egyptian Style" And "The Beginning of the Legend"

In anticipation of players, "Assassin's Creed: Origin" has successively updated two promotional films.

And "Castle: Medieval" is not idle, and it also updated some videos of how to play.

In fact, strictly speaking, the game types of these two games are quite different, and there is no competition in an absolute sense, unlike "Uncharted" and "Lost Treasure".

Many die-hard players who like similar themes will basically buy it no matter what "Castle: Medieval" looks like.

But this does not mean that the two games are without competition. Their main competition is not in their respective core fans, but in the group of players who like both types of games.

In fact, the division of player groups is quite vague in many cases. Many players play slg, moba and fps, but they like rpg the most. A player like this does not have an absolute preference for a certain type, so when he chooses a game, he will consider other factors, such as the theme of the game.

"Castle: Medieval" is not just a simulation construction or business simulation game. Compared with the PC side, the biggest advantage of the game is the sense of substitution. If you just build a house in the castle and observe the farmers in the castle from the perspective of God Living with the soldiers...it really doesn't make sense to spend money on VR.

Therefore, in "Castle: Medieval", the simulation management is only a small part, and the core experience is to experience the life of the Middle Ages as a lord.

For example, walking in your own castle, watching blacksmiths forging iron, watching farmers transporting food, watching soldiers training, etc., and the real exciting content for players is fighting.

In this game, the refreshment brought by the battle to the player is far greater than that of the simulated management gameplay. After all, this is a vr game.

Players can experience a variety of different fighting methods such as siege warfare, city defense, and field battles. For players, the coolest part of the entire game should be to command their own troops to fight outside the castle, and take advantage of the situation after defeating the enemy troops. Siege and loot resources from other castles.

In this part, the combat system of "Castle: Medieval" is very similar to many rpg games and act games, and many players even consider buying "Castle: Medieval", mainly to experience its combat system and experience the kind of highly restored Historical cold weapon battles, but not very interested in the management and construction of the castle.

After all, simple business simulation games are already very unpopular in the field of VR platforms.

Therefore, although "Castle: Medieval" and "Assassin's Creed: Origins" do not have an absolute competitive relationship, the launch of these two games at the same time will definitely have a certain impact on each other's sales, especially for those who have a large number of games. For fringe players, they are likely to only buy one.

...

Two new promotional CGs released for Assassin's Creed: Origins are titled "Egyptian Style" and "Legend of Legends".

In "Egyptian Style", the entire propaganda CG still uses all the in-game real scenes, but the protagonist is no longer a historical figure, but the scenery of Egypt.

In this publicity CG, in the melodious and soothing ballads, scenes of desperation are presented in front of everyone.

In "The Beginning of a Legend", the entire promotional CG focused on Bayek.

Different from the previous games, the three promotional films of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" do not have too many mysteries or secrets, and basically many aspects of the game have been made clear.

The earliest promotional film "Battle for Thrones" tells the story background and outline of the main line of the game, that is, the history of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra.

"Egyptian Style" tells the world view of the game. Obviously, this game is an open world including Vientiane, and even the wild animal ecology of Egypt, hippos, crocodiles and lions, have been made.

"The Beginning of the Legend" focuses on Bayek. While showing his charisma on the side, it also basically explains the fighting style of the game.

Bayek can assassinate with the Hidden Blade, shoot enemies from a distance with a bow and arrow, or use a longsword, machete, or heavy weapons to melee combat.

Unlike "The Last of Us", the previous promotional video for "The Last of Us" can be said to be a cloud cover, and after watching it, you can't guess what story the game is telling.

But after watching the promotional video of "Assassin's Creed: Origins", basically most players have guessed the core gameplay of the game and the general direction of the story.

Probably the only question is: why is this game called Assassin's Creed? Where is the assassin?

However, this "clearness" did not affect the players' expectations for this game. On the contrary, after learning about these elements through the promotion of CG, the players' anticipation became even more explosive!

"I'm going, Chen Mo's new game is going to be an Egyptian travel simulator? I actually saw "Animal World" in the promotional video?? Hippopotamus, crocodile, lion, antelope, hunting dog... Even these? But Don't tell me these animals have anything to do with the main plot!"

"So, this game should be the open world that didn't run, right?"

"I saw the shield counter in the promotional video, and I also saw the assassination... Since there is an assassination, this game shouldn't be like "Dark Souls", right??"

"Upstairs, "Dark Souls" also has an assassination, isn't it an assassination to walk slowly to the back of the knight and backstab it 2333"

"I'm very interested in the name of this game 'Assassin's Creed' now. I really want to know what the so-called Assassin's Creed is!"

"Don't say anything, I have to buy and buy for the Egyptian style! I really want to experience what it's like to slide down the pyramid!"

"...Gliding on the grave??"

"Hahaha upstairs is so talented, really gliding on the grave!"
