As one of Ubisoft's most successful game series, Assassin's Creed has entered its tenth year. From the stunning debut of the first generation to the second generation trilogy pushing the entire series to an unprecedented peak, the following generations of works have always failed to reach the second generation again for one reason or another.
Of course there are many reasons for this, but the development time is definitely a very important point. Since the Assassin's Creed series sold well, Ubisoft has attempted to maximize the commercial value of this series at a rate of one piece a year. The result was that starting with "Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag", the reputation of the series was getting worse and worse, and the protagonist of the game also changed from an assassin at the beginning to a later pirate and berserker.
Finally, Ubisoft learned from his mistakes and decided to take a year off to give the production team plenty of time to bring players an authentic version of "Assassin's Creed: Origin", which is also a soft restart and a return to the origin of the Assassin's Brotherhood.
Ten Things You Should Know About "Origination"
1. First of all, the time when this story takes place is around 49 BC, which is the period when Cleopatra officially began to take power. Although the name of this work is Origin, according to the information sent by Ubisoft, the story of this work mainly tells the origin story of the Assassin Brotherhood, and the history of the assassin is far earlier than the time when this work happened.
2. The protagonist Bayek, published on E3, is one of the players' actionable characters. He is Egypt's last desert ranger (Medjay). We will follow Bayek to witness the establishment of the Assassin Brotherhood;
3. "Assassin's Creed: Origin" is an RPG game in which the player level (up to 40) will directly affect the character's skills and game progress, and it will become very difficult to assassinate enemies across levels;
4. Like most ARPG games, players can collect various weapons and equipment in the game. The weapons in this game are mainly divided into four types: light weapons, heavy weapons, long-handled weapons and bows and arrows. Weapons are divided into three different levels: ordinary, excellent and legend.
5. In the game, players can also enhance conventional equipment such as cuff swords, wrist wheels, chest plaques, and luggage by collecting materials. These equipment and level systems will affect various basic attributes of the character.
6. The eagle Senu shown in the trailer will play a very important role in the game. In addition to exploring the surrounding environment, Senu also has many "special" functions. In addition to Senu, players can also collect various horses and camels in the game. Many wild animals in Africa will also play a very important role in the game. The types of wild animals that appear in the game will be very rich, and each has its own independent ecological environment.
7. "Assassin's Creed: Origin" is an open game in which players can travel all over EgyptThe entire area, including deserts, oasis, cities, pyramids and ancient tombs; all places that players can see can be climbed, and they can also dive into the bottom of the water to explore hidden treasures; this game completely cancels the parkour key and fast running key, making the climbing in the game more technical. This game has cancelled the minimap and adopted a compass positioning system that is closer to reality.
8. The game has abandoned the linear mission system of previous generations. Players can fully explore the world while completing the main task while performing a certain task, without being fixed in the task area. Many tasks have also designed a variety of different triggering methods;
9. The game adopts a brand new combat system, and the new combat system is somewhat similar to the Dark Souls' combat system; the light and heavy attacks are set on the two buttons R1 and R2 (RB and RT), and the combination of the two can emit dazzling moves. When the adrenaline tank is full, it can also launch a powerful ending attack on the enemy; the enemy's A.I is also smarter than the previous works.
10. Although Ubisoft did not indicate that there was naval war content during E3, it has been revealed in the product information about the luxury and limited editions of major retail websites that this work still has naval war tasks; the main body of this work will be developed by the Ubisoft Montreal branch that produced "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag", and the water surface part will be produced by the Ubisoft Singapore branch (that is the branch that produced "Skull and Bones").
