On the first of June, Assassin's Creed: Origins was officially released.
Chen Mo didn't do any advertising for the game, nor did he care about Castle: Medieval.
Strictly speaking, there weren't many competitive games during the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins. The only real competitor was himself.
To Chen Mo, the Assassin's Creed series wasn't meant to compete with other games. There was no doubt that the series was a classic. What Chen Mo cared about was how to present the series to the players, so that they could experience the same authentic Assassin's Creed as it was in his previous life.
As for whether this series could become Thunderbolt Entertainment's brand …
That would have to wait for the players to give feedback, or even the sales and media ratings to know.
…
The experience store wasn't open yet, but there was already a long queue outside.
Although Thunderbolt Entertainment's new headquarters would be completed this year, the players weren't sure when they would be able to move in.
However, many of them were optimistic. Since Chen Mo said they would be able to move in this year, it shouldn't be a problem. Days like this where they had to queue up to play new games were one less day after each day passed, so they should cherish it.
Fatty Zou Zhuo was one of the first players to arrive, standing at the front of the queue. He turned around and saw a familiar figure.
"Old Qin? Why are you here? "The fatty was quite surprised, as Old Qin didn't come to the experience store often.
"Come, Master, let's switch places. You come to my place," Zou Zhuo said as he switched places with Master Lin, standing in front of Old Qin.
Master Lin had become a regular customer of the experience store recently. As for why a fortune-teller like him would come to the experience store so often …
In his own words, "I'll read my fortune today, so I'll go online". But he had been coming to the experience store for at least three weeks …
Everyone knew that the reason why Master Lin kept coming to the experience store was because the overpass was quite close, and there were more people in the experience store than the overpass, so he could ask people to read their fortunes …
Of course, Master Lin didn't set up a fortune-telling stall. His fortune-telling was done verbally, and he usually played games in the experience store. Chen Mo thought he was quite interesting, so he didn't chase him away. Although this master was a bit of a clown, he wasn't a bad person.
On the contrary, Master Lin was often bullied …
Master Lin, who originally didn't play many games, was actually influenced by what he saw and heard and started to play PUBG mobile games …
Old Qin said as he looked around the experience store, "Hey, I heard Chen Zi-Chen released a new game, of course we're going to play it to the max. However, will this game be like Dark Souls? I'm looking forward to it. "
Zou Zhuo said, "Yes, Dark Souls is indeed a classic. This time, they were still fighting with cold weapons. It was possible that they were still using Dark Soul's combat system, right? I feel like all the people queuing up today have played Dark Souls before. "
Old Qin looked at Master Lin, who was in front of Zou Zhuo. "This master … has he played Dark Souls before?"
Hearing the words "Dark Souls", Master Lin couldn't help but shiver as he recalled an incredible experience …
"Cough cough, my two brothers." Master Lin turned around. "You're so young, but why are you always thinking about darkness? I don't know how to play Dark Souls. You guys should play some more soul-cleansing games. "
Zou Zhuo was confused. "For example?"
Master Lin smiled, "Have you two played Rhythm Master before?"
Old Qin said, "Festival? Beat up the master? Yeah, it's Children's Day today! Master, since that's your request, I won't hold back! "
Master Lin, "… Go away!"
…
It wasn't just the players who were waiting to try out Assassin's Creed: Origins. Lin Mu had already arrived at the experience store and was ready to try out the VR gaming pod.
Although Lin Mu had been directly involved in the development of Assassin's Creed: Origins, he hadn't tried out the finished game yet.
This was because the development of the game was very tight, and everyone had their own responsibilities. Lin Mu had been researching historical information, discussing the setting, costumes, and other details with the artists and designers. His work was also very tight, so he didn't have time to learn about other aspects.
It wasn't until the game was officially developed that Lin Mu finally had the time to try out the game.
Lin Mu was looking forward to seeing how Assassin's Creed: Origins would turn out.
As a video game designer, Lin Mu had played many VR games, and he had only worked on action games such as Grand Tang. Therefore, he had a rough idea of how Assassin's Creed would turn out.
Whether it was the gameplay, art, or music, Assassin's Creed: Origins was one of the best in the world. Lin Mu knew this very well.
While the other players were still queuing up, Lin Mu had already opened a back door and laid down in the gaming pod.
…
In the game cabin, there was an additional icon with a rich sense of technology: Animus.
This was the magical program that appeared in the promotional video. It was said that it could allow players to travel back in time. However, Lin Mu wasn't sure about the specific settings of the program.
After activating Animus, a high-tech interface appeared in Lin Mu's field of vision.
In the center of his field of vision was a horizontal DNA fragment that was constantly flipping and rolling.
On the top left of the DNA fragment was Abstego's logo, the time, and a line of words: Waiting to load.
Then, the DNA fragment flipped to a parallel direction in his field of vision. It looked like a huge bridge that connected the players on one side and extended into the darkness on the other.
Countless images appeared from the DNA sequence. They were all images that seemed to have a sense of history. There were images of different eras, different costumes … These images all flashed by in a flash, and could not be seen clearly.
At the same time, the male voice in Animus' promotional video sounded again.
["Everyone's genes contain the memories of their ancestors. Just like migrating birds, animals obtain these experiences from their genes. Our DNA is like a file. Not only does it contain the genetic structure of previous generations, but it also contains … the memories of our ancestors.
[Animus is a brand new device developed by Abstego Entertainment. It allows the user to read their own memories and relive the lives of their ancestors. In other words, it's a projector that can project genetic memories in 3D.
[This isn't a time machine. It's a virtual reality simulator. Remember, Animus isn't omnipotent. In some cases, the memories it presents aren't 100% accurate. There might be inconsistencies with historical facts or translation errors. Sometimes, this is intentional. The designer might change the settings out of kindness or malice.
["For example, they will translate and simplify the characters' language so that modern users can understand the dialogue without any obstacles. They might also restrict the user from seeing certain memories. If the user made some mistakes, it might lead to some strange consequences. If you see yourself flying into the sky or getting stuck in the ground, don't panic. Restarting the program will solve most of the problems.
["Remember, Animus users can't change history. They can only relive it. They have to perfectly synchronize with the actions of the characters they play in order to better read the next memory fragment. If the user does something completely opposite, such as killing innocent people, it will often cause 'loss of synchronization' and they will have to start from the beginning.
["Fortunately, with the advancement of technology, the current version of Animus has been improved many times. The user doesn't need to be a direct descendant of these historical characters to relive these memories. This is the software you're looking at now: Helix. "
After this introduction, an interface appeared in Lin Mu's field of vision. It was the Helix software in Animus mentioned in the introduction.
