Chapter 843 Serent's New World-Class IP
Not long after the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins, Castle: Medieval was released on schedule.
Although these are two different types of games, they are inevitably compared by many players in other aspects other than gameplay.
Such as historical background and combat system aspects.
If the two games were renamed, Assassin's Creed: Origins could be called Egypt Simulator, and Castle: Medieval could be called Medieval Simulator. Although the gameplay cores of the two are different, they have a very close selling point, which is the structure of the entire historical environment.
For many players who like historical themes and cold weapon combat, these two games are very good choices, because they both reproduce the history of a certain period of time well, giving people an illusion of time travel, and at the same time Allows the player to play a very important role in this history.
However, after comparing the "historical elements" of these two games, many players will find that "Assassin's Creed: Origin"'s historical accomplishments even completely surpass those of historical games!
First of all, the story layout of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" is more ambitious. In terms of geographical scope, the story covers a vast area of northern ancient Egypt, and each city and village has a unique story. And "Castle: Medieval" is only limited to a castle, although the tasks are equally rich, but after all, it is limited.
Secondly, the story background of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" is inextricably linked with major historical events. Players can manipulate Bayek and Aya, talk to Caesar, Cleopatra, and other famous figures in history, and jointly complete major events. historical battle. In "Castle: Medieval", there are not too many historical figures, although all aspects of the game reproduce the details of the Middle Ages well, but the sense of history is not too strong.
And 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.
In fact, there are already too many studies, documents, and literary works about the Middle Ages in Europe, and game works are emerging one after another. When game developers think of cold weapon combat or magical stories, their first reaction is to draw materials from the European Middle Ages. Therefore, this is a very mature theme that has lost its freshness.
Of course, "Castle: Medieval", with its own unique gameplay and a combination of simulated management and realistic combat, can make a clear difference from other medieval games, and it is still a pioneering work; but if Just taking out the subject matter and comparing it to "Assassin's Creed: Origins" pales in comparison.
...
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 happened in ancient Egypt is full of freshness. In particular, the age setting of the story is very pleasing. It belongs to the 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 big surprise for me! I thought Serent would be stuck for a while after The Last of Us, or continue that style. But he didn't , but turned his attention to the field of history! And just as good!"
"Yes, I am also very surprised. You must know that Serent has almost never been involved in historical topics before, but this time, he has successfully surpassed those who have always been known for historical topics, which is really unexpected!"
"Yes, especially as an open world game, Assassin's Creed: Origins is really rich in game content! It's like an encyclopedia of ancient Egypt,
From the aspects of humanities, history, architecture, environment, etc., it shows us Egypt a thousand years ago. I have been addicted to ancient Egypt for several days, and I just love it! "
"What interests me is the setting of 'Assassins'. Yes, there are actually many clues related to 'Assassins' in the history of the world, but this game is indeed the first game that proposed the concept of 'Assassins'. At the end of the game, Aya and Bayek have established Assassin organizations in Rome and Egypt, respectively, and tell the origin of that Assassin logo... Since the name of the game is Assassin's Creed, I'm curious to know that there will be more Is there a follow-up story?"
"I think there must be. After all, what does 'Creed' in 'Assassin's Creed' mean? It's not very clear. Moreover, there are a lot of content in the future history to draw from, some more than ancient Egypt. A suitable location, such as Europe.”
"I'm pessimistic about it because Serent never counts 2..."
"But Serent will release a collection dlc, have you forgotten about "Uncharted Seas"? Besides, there are many unlocked modules in animus. I think Serent's obsessive-compulsive disorder is definitely not an option. Allow unfilled pits 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, then I will It's definitely going to be a blast!"
...
Major game review sites have also given "Assassin's Creed: Origins" a high score, and tgn, which has a score of 9.2, gave such a comment.
"Another benchmark, world-class IP from Serente is born!"
"Assassin's Creed: Origins takes players deep into ancient Egypt, one of the series' most tantalizing environments, in a dark, multi-faceted, and profound way. The protagonist, Bayek, is a compassionate and daring assassin. Driven by revenge, the player will experience a twisting story from his point of view: in this story, there are pharaohs and corrupt leaders, as well as gained and lost love, and you will also see the bottom people serving to death from exhaustion, but A plight that no one cares about.”
"Assassin's Creed: Origins is an intense journey that challenges players' notions of right and wrong, and makes you think about the legitimacy of killing during the game. Moreover, the game is a true restoration of ancient Egypt. The extent is astonishing, and it often makes people feel a sense of time travel. It can be said that it has reached the pinnacle in terms of history. Although there are a small number of bugs in the game, from the introduction at the beginning of the game, this seems to be a plug Lunt did it on purpose? Anyway, this is an immersive game, and there is absolutely no substitute for it on the market, it is worth taking a deep breath and having a good experience!"
