When the second trailer was released, the players exploded!
Not only domestic players, but foreign players also did not expect Chen Mo to be serious!
At first, when the Animus trailer was released, many players thought that Chen Mo was just making a gimmick. However, from the second trailer, Chen Mo was really planning to make a historical game!
The second promotional video had already explained the background story of the game very clearly. The three main characters in it were Caesar, Cleopatra, and Ptolemy. These were all famous people in the history of the world, especially Caesar, who was a famous Roman leader. As long as one studied a little world history, who wouldn't know him?
All along, the story of Caesar and Cleopatra had been the subject of many European and American literary works. In Chen Mo's previous life, there were several very famous versions of Cleopatra, played by famous actresses such as Vivien Leigh, Liv Taylor, Billy Zane, and Monica Bellucci, which had a very wide influence.
In the parallel world, similar film themes were also emerging. Although there had not been any particularly outstanding films and TV series in recent years, every player who was interested in world history was basically familiar with this period of history.
In addition, the theme and main character of the game had actually been revealed in the video.
The name of the game was Assassin's Creed, which meant that it was a story about an assassin. Bayek's figure also appeared in the video, and in the end, he came to the center of the screen, directly highlighting his position as the main character.
Moreover, the video also involved a lot of real game scenes, including a variety of Egyptian style buildings, clothing, characters, battle scenes, and so on …
There was too much information, and many players were not used to it.
When the first trailer was released, many players were complaining that there was too little information! Nothing was said at all!
However, after the second trailer was released, the players suddenly realized that there was too much information, and they were a little at a loss …
The only thing they were sure of was that Chen Mo was really going to do something again. He was going to enter the gaming field that he had never touched before!
…
Seeing this trailer, the foreign players were even more excited than the domestic players.
Because in this promotional video, it almost showed the whole picture of Egypt in a realistic way, including the customs, architecture, war scenes, and those historical figures. It was like an encyclopedia, covering almost everything.
For a long time, foreign players had a strong yearning for Egypt. This ancient and mysterious country had a fatal attraction for European and American players. Otherwise, the story of Cleopatra would not have been remade so many times.
However, there were very few games with Egypt as the protagonist. Even if there were, they were basically concentrated in the field of exploration. It was nothing more than rubbing off on ancient buildings like pyramids and sphinxes, or adding some Egyptian elements such as mummies and scorpions. There had never been a game that could generously place the story in ancient Egypt and show the whole of Egypt in a panoramic way.
On the foreign forums, discussions about Assassin's Creed: Origins instantly became a hot topic, and the players were extremely enthusiastic about it.
"Assassin's Creed! I like this name! Is this a new series from Salent? "
"I didn't expect the two trailers to be so different. The first one was talking about a weird thing called Animus, while the second one skipped Animus and traveled to ancient Egypt two thousand years ago? This is a big surprise! "
"Is this the real world of the game? Will Salent continue to make it look like a movie, telling the epic story of Caesar and Cleopatra? Thunderbolt Entertainment's graphics are worth looking forward to! "
"I'm more interested in the core gameplay and combat system. Is it going to be a cold weapon battle like Dark Souls?"
"Isn't that even better!"
“nonono！ That's not good at all! I hate Dark Souls, I'm only interested in Egypt. I just want to go sightseeing in Egypt, please don't make me live like an undead! "
"Anyway, it's good news that Salent is making a new game. Looks like he's not basking in last year's success, and has changed his target to a historical game. This is great news!"
…
As for the Chinese players, their first reaction wasn't excitement, but joy. That's great, we don't have to buy Castle: Medieval anymore!
Although it was 4k!
Game didn't treat the Chinese players as human beings, always using the Chinese language to fool people, but it was still a good game.
Many Chinese players weren't happy about it and tried to boycott it, but there were still many players who were interested in similar themes and couldn't help but buy it.
If there weren't any good competing games, many players would have bought Castle: Medieval. However, now that Chen Mo released the trailer for Assassin's Creed: Origins, what was there to hesitate about? Didn't they know which game they should buy?
It would have been fine if the two games had different themes. Players who preferred historical themes might have been conflicted. However, it seemed like there was nothing to be conflicted about!
Although one was about Egypt and the other about the Middle Ages, they were both considered to be in the same category. Most players liked cold weapons and exotic locales. Very few players were so stubborn that they wouldn't play anything that wasn't from the Middle Ages.
Moreover, there were too many Middle Ages games, be it real combat or fantasy combat. The Middle Ages was the genre that players were most familiar with, and they would eventually get tired of it.
Compared to Egypt, which was filled with exotic locales, the Middle Ages had no appeal at all.
Moreover, Chen Mo's new game had a historical character like Caesar. It looked like a huge world, which was much more impressive compared to Castle: Medieval Age, which only had a single castle in the game.
"Chen Mo is giving me timely help! I was wondering if I should buy Castle: Medieval, but I'm definitely going to buy Assassin's Creed! "
"Previous poster, don't be so sure. What if Chen Mo's new game fails? I'm going to choose Assassin's Creed. "
"That's right, don't worry about it.
4K Game has great control over historical themes, so I'm going to choose Assassin's Creed. "
The Chinese players didn't have to think as much as the foreign players.
What was there to hesitate about between Chen Mo and 4K Game?
However, many players were still worried about the quality of Assassin's Creed. The biggest problem came from the graphics.
From the trailer, if the trailer was a real game, it would mean that Assassin's Creed's graphics were on the same level as Uncharted Waters.
However, would Assassin's Creed use a cinematic, linear game style? If they wanted to show the full view of Egypt and make the story more epic, it would be best to use an open world style.
