Chapter 834 Entering the animus
On June 1, "Assassin's Creed: Origin" officially started trial play.
Chen Mo did not engage in any publicity wars for this game, nor did he care about the situation of "Castle: Medieval".
Strictly speaking, there were no competitive games during the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins. The real competitor of this game is only itself.
For Chen Mo, the "Assassin's Creed" series is not to compete with other games, and there is no need to question the classics of this series. What Chen Mo cares about is how to perfectly present this series to players so that they can experience the same authentic "Assassin's Creed" as in the previous life.
As for whether this series can become the new golden signboard of Thunder Interactive Entertainment...
Then you have to wait until the players give feedback after trying it out, or even see sales and media ratings, before you can truly know it.
...
The experience store has not opened yet, and there are already a long queue outside.
Although the new headquarters of Thunder Interactive Entertainment will be completed this year, players don’t know when they will be moved there.
However, many people are still optimistic. Since Chen Mo said that he could move this year, it should be no big problem. The days when you have to queue up to play new games can also be said to be one day less and one day less, so you should cherish them.
The little fat Zou Zhuo was naturally one of the first players to arrive, standing in front of the queue. He looked back and found a familiar figure.
"Old Qin? Why are you here?" The little fat man was quite surprised. Lao Qin doesn't often appear in the experience store.
"Come on, Master, let's change positions, come here." Zou Zhuo said, while changing positions with Master Lin and standing in front of Lao Qin himself.
During this period, Master Lin has also been a regular customer of the experience store. As for why a fortune teller always runs into the experience store...
In his own words, "I have to count my fingers today and I will go online." But he has been here to experience the store for at least three weeks...
In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Master Lin has been running to the experience store is that on the one hand, the overpass is indeed quite close to here, and on the other hand, the traffic in the experience store is much larger than that of the overpass, and he can still tell fortunes with people...
Of course, Master Lin did not set up any divination stalls. He told fortunes directly oral fortunes, and he usually played games in the experience store. Chen Mo thought he was quite interesting, so he didn't drive him away. Although this master was a bit funny, he was not bad-hearted.
On the contrary, Master Lin is often bullied...
Master Lin, who didn't play games very much, was actually about to start the chicken-eating mobile game under the influence of his eyes and ears...
Lao Qin looked into the experience store and said, "Oh, I heard that Chen Zai has released a new game, of course he wants to play it. However, is this game as good as "Dark Souls"? I'm so looking forward to it."
Zou Zhuo said: "Well, "Dark Souls" is indeed a classic. This time it's a cold weapon battle. Maybe it's better to use the Dark Souls' combat system? I feel that among the people who come to queue today, they have played "Dark Souls".
Lao Qin looked at Master Lin in front of Zou Zhuo: "This master...has he also played "Dark Souls"?"
When Master Lin heard the four words "Dark Souls", he couldn't help but tremble and recalled some amazing experience...
"Ahem, two little brothers." Master Lin turned around, "Why are you young and always thinking about darkness in your heart? I don't know how to play "Dark Souls". You should play some more purifying games."
Zou Zhuo was confused: "For example?"
Master Lin smiled and said, "Have you played "The Master of Rhythm"?"
Lao Qin: "Celebrate the festival? Beat the master? Yes, today is Children's Day! Master, since you ask so, I'm not polite!"
Master Lin: "...you go!"
...
Not only are the players waiting to try out "Assassin's Creed: Origin", Lin Mu has already arrived at the experience store in advance and entered the VR game cabin to prepare for trial.
Although Lin Mu was directly involved in the development of "Assassin's Creed: Origin", he has never tried what the finished game looks like.
Because the development progress of the entire game is very compact, everyone performs their own duties. Lin Mu has been verifying various historical materials and discussing details of various aspects such as sets and clothing with art and designers. His work is also very tight, so he has no time to understand other aspects.
It was not until the game was officially developed and trial was officially started that Lin Mu finally took the time to experience the game.
Lin Mu is also looking forward to what the finished game of "Assassin's Creed: Origin".
As a designer, Lin Mu has also played many VR games, and he has only made action games such as "The Legend of Tang", so he has roughly psychological expectations for the game "Assassin's Creed".
Whether it is gameplay, art or music, "Assassin's Creed: Origin" is world-class, and Lin Mu knows this very well.
While other players were still queuing up, Lin Mu had already secretly opened the back door and lie into the game cabin.
...
In the game cabin, there is an additional tech-rich icon: animus.
This is the magical program that appeared in the previous promotional video. It is said that it can allow players to travel through time and go back to the past. However, Lin Mu is not clear about the specific settings of this program.
Turn on animus, and a technology-filled interface appeared in Lin Mu's vision.
In the center of the field of view is a horizontal DNA fragment, constantly flipping and scrolling.
On the upper left side of this DNA clip is the logo of Abstergo, time and a line of big words: Waiting for loading
Then, the DNA clip flips into a parallel direction of the field of view, looking like a bridge with a huge span, one connecting the player and one extending into the darkness in the distance.
Countless clips of the picture appear from this DNA sequence, all of which look quite historical, from different eras and various costumes... These pictures all flash by and cannot be seen clearly.
Meanwhile, the male voice in the animus promotional video rang again.
["Everyone's genes have memories of his ancestors. Just like the migration of migratory birds, animals gain these experiences from their inheritance. Our DNA is like an archive, which not only contains the genetic structures inherited by previous generations of living organisms, but also contains... the memories of our ancestors."]
【“animus is a brand new device developed by Abstergo Entertainment, which allows users to read their own memories and relive their ancestors’ lives. That is to say, it is a projector that can image gene memories in three-dimensional ways.”】
["This is not a time machine, but a virtual reality simulator. Please remember that animus is not omnipotent. In some cases, the memory it presents is not 100% accurate, and it may also cause situations such as inconsistent with historical facts or translation errors. Sometimes this situation is intentional, and the designer may change the settings out of good intention or malicious intention."]
["For example, they will translate and simplify the language of characters, so that modern users can understand the conversation without any barriers, and may also limit users to see certain memories. If the user performs some wrong operations, it may induce some strange consequences. If you see yourself flying into the sky and stuck in the soil, don't panic, restarting the program can solve most problems."]
["Remember that animus users cannot change history, they can only revisit these history. They must be perfectly synchronized with the behavior of the characters they play in order to better read the next memory segment. If the user does a completely opposite behavior, such as killing innocent people indiscriminately, it will often cause 'losing synchronization' and must be done over the beginning."]
["Fortunately, with the advancement of technology, the current version of animus has been improved many times. Users no longer need to be direct descendants of these historical figures, but can also relive these memories. This is the software you see now: helix."]
After this introduction, an interface appeared in Lin Mu's field of vision, which is the helix software installed in Animus mentioned in the introduction.
Chapter completed!
