In the expectation of the players, "assassin creed: Origin" has updated two promotional videos one after another.

Castle: the middle ages is not idle. It also updates some videos about how to play.

In fact, strictly speaking, the difference between the game types of these two games is quite large, and there is no absolute sense of competition, unlike "mysterious sea area" and "lost treasure" in which the crash is serious.

Many die hard players like similar themes, no matter what Castle: Middle Ages is made of, they will basically buy it.

But this doesn't mean that the two games have no competition. Their main competition is not in their core fans, but in the players who like both types of games.

In fact, in many cases, the division of player groups is relatively vague. Many players play SLG, MoBa and FPS, but they like RPG best. Players like this don't have an absolute preference for a certain type of game. When choosing a game, they will consider other factors, such as the theme of the game.

Castle: the middle ages is not just a simulation build or simulation business game, because this type is not particularly successful in VR games. Compared with PC, the biggest advantage of VR game is the sense of substitution. If you just build a house in the castle and observe the life of farmers and soldiers in the castle from the perspective of God It doesn't make sense to spend money on VR.

Therefore, in castle: the middle ages, simulation management is only a small part. The core experience is to experience the life of the middle ages as a Lord.

For example, walking in your castle, watching blacksmiths forge iron, farmers transport grain, soldiers training, etc., and the real stimulation for players is fighting.

In this game, the cool feeling brought by fighting to players is far greater than that of simulated operation, which is a VR game after all.

Players can experience many different ways of fighting, such as siege, garrison and field battle. For players, the best part of the whole game is to command their own troops to fight outside the castle. After defeating the enemy forces, they take advantage of the situation to attack the city and plunder resources in other castles.

In this part, the combat system of Castle: Middle Ages is very similar to many RPG Games and act games, and even many players consider buying Castle: Middle Ages, mainly to experience its combat system and experience the kind of cold weapon battle that highly restores history, but they are not interested in castle management and construction.

After all, the simple simulation business game, in the VR platform field, has been very unpopular.

So, although Castle: Middle Ages and Assassin's Creed: origin have no absolute competitive relationship, the simultaneous listing of these two games will definitely have a certain impact on each other's sales, especially for those large numbers of marginal players, they are likely to buy only one.

……

Two new CG's released in Assassin's Creed: origin are named "Egyptian customs" and "the beginning of legend".

In "Egyptian customs", the whole CG publicity is still all in-game live pictures, but the protagonist is no longer a historical figure, but the scenery of Egypt.

In this propaganda CG, in the melodious and soothing ballads, scenes of desperate situation appear in front of all people.

Pyramids in the long yellow sand.

The hardworking Egyptian people.

The shimmering of the setting sun on the Nile.

An Egyptian city-state in an oasis.

A hippopotamus with a large mouth and a crocodile bite.

A male lion that catches antelopes on the prairie.

Crocodile swimming downstream of the water.

A hyena that Forages on the prairie.

Egyptian slave workers who were building gods.

At the end of the picture, bayek is riding on a camel, overlooking the Egyptian territory at the top of the mountain, which is even more beautiful under the sun.

In the beginning of legend, the whole propaganda CG focuses on bayek.

Bayek in the mural and bayek in the reality are perfectly integrated through lens switching. Through the breathtaking fighting, it tells the story of the legend.

Slide down the pyramid.

Fight against the giant elephant.

Use sleeve sword to assassinate.

Come to the dusty temple.

Fight life and death in the arena.

A sea battle.

Cut throat, chest and head.

Bayek's eloquence is enlightening.

["we must fight for the free will of the people!" ]

["even if there is little hope, our brotherhood is the only chance!" ]

……

Different from the previous games, these three promotional films of Assassin's Creed: origin are not so much mysterious or covered up. Basically, they have explained many aspects of the game clearly.

The earliest promotional film "the struggle for power" tells the story background and main line of the game, that is, the history of Caesar and Cleopatra."Egyptian customs" tells the world view of the game. Obviously, the game includes the open world of Vientiane, and even the animal ecology in the wild of Egypt, including hippos, crocodiles and lions.

"The beginning of legend" is to focus on bayek, which not only reflects his personality charm, but also basically explains the way of fighting the game.

Bayek can use sleeve sword to assassinate, can use bow and arrow to shoot enemies at a long distance, can also use long sword, machete or close hand combat with heavy weapons.

Unlike "American doomsday", the previous promotional film of "American doomsday" can be said to be a cloud mountain fog cover. After reading it, I can't guess what the story of the game is.

But after watching the propaganda film of Assassin's Creed: origin, most of the players have guessed the core playing method of the game and the general development direction of the story.

Perhaps the only question is: why is this game called the assassin creed? Where is the assassin?

However, this "clarity" does not affect the players' expectations of the game. On the contrary, after understanding these elements through the promotion of CG, the players' expectations are even more explosive!

"I'm going. Is Chen Mo's new game going to be an Egyptian tourism simulator? Did I even see animal world in the promo?? Hippos, crocodiles, lions, antelopes, hounds Did you even do that? Don't tell me these animals have something to do with the main plot! "

"So the game should be open world, right?"

"I saw the anti shield and the assassination in the propaganda video Since there is assassination, the game will not be like "the soul of darkness"

"Upstairs, there are also assassinations in soul of darkness. It's not assassination to walk behind the knight and stab him in the back." 2333 "

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

"I don't want to say anything. I have to buy it for the Egyptian style! I really want to know how it feels to slide down the pyramid! "

“…… Grave gliding

"Hahaha, it's so talented on the tower. It's really a grave gliding!"
