Great Revolution - Freedom, Equality, and Fraternity

In the late 18th century, with the gradual rise of the Enlightenment, a revolution that swept across the country broke out in France. The Bourbon dynasty that ruled France for centuries and its monarchy under its rule collapsed within three years.

France underwent an epic transformation during this period: the privileged class of the past, such as the first and second ranks, was constantly impacted by liberal political organizations and the people who took to the streets to protest, and the old ideas were gradually replaced by new democratic ideas such as natural human rights and separation of powers.

The world history community has many views on the time when the French Revolution ends, and it is difficult to reach a consensus. In France, the Gomo Coup was generally regarded as a sign of the end of the Revolution, which overthrew the radical centralized rule of the Jacobins.

The famous capture of the Bastille occurred on July 14, 1789. Early in the morning, the Bastille was the only one in the hands of the king's army in Paris. In the end, the rebels occupied the Bastille in the artillery fire of the defenders and liberated the seven prisoners who were imprisoned.

This year, the Constitutional Assembly promulgated the "August Decree" to "abolition of all old obligations", and then passed the famous "Declaration of Human Rights", solemnly announcing the principle of "personal freedom, equal rights" to the whole world.

The great revolution was guided by the Enlightenment's idea of pursuing freedom, equality and democracy, but its process and results were full of violence and terror. It destroyed the old order with extremely fierce means, but what followed was violence, terror and massacre.

Lost his father at a young age - an assassin raised by the Templar

The protagonist of this work is Arno Victor Dorian. Yano means "eagle" in Germanic language. He also has many titles "bags" and "fighting the five scumbags"... He was born in a noble family in France. His father was a French assassin named Charle Dorian, and his mother was Marie Dorian, an Austrian. Arno grew up in Versailles near Paris and received a good education.

December 1776On the 27th, eight-year-old Arno followed his assassin's father Charles Dorian (translated as Charles Dorian in France) to the Palace of Versailles. While waiting for his father to come back, he first met the only daughter of François de la Serre, the leader of the French Knights Templar. During the two of them, Charles was killed by Shay (the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Rebellion) because of holding the Box of the Pioneer. François adopted Yano as his adopted son based on his respect for Charles.

In this way, an assassin's child grew up in the Templar's home. It was not until later that he met his father's close friend and assassin master Pierre Bellec in the Bastille to understand his father's true identity. Yano, who felt deeply guilty of Alice, defected to the assassin organization and swore to become an assassin for atonement.

Avenge your father - the adventurous "Templar"

Due to the Templars, the de Russell family had a great influence, and Alice spent a superior childhood. However, unlike those daughters who are surrounded by servants and addicted to the dance, Alice, who loves adventure, has never wasted her time.

In 1778, when her mother died, Alice left Arno and spent a lot of her time traveling, during which she studied in Paris for several years.

In April 1788, Alice used a pseudonym to sneak into the mansion of a generation of Assassin Master and legendary pirate Edward Kenway (Assassin's Creed 4), trying to steal the letters written by Edward's son Helson Kenway (Assassin's Creed 3) when he was the supreme master of the colonial Templars.

Edward's daughter, Helson's half-sister, Jennifer, recognized Alice's true identity and agreed to hand over the letter. She hopes Alice can be inspired by Helson's letters and enable the Assassin and the Templar to unite for the same goal.

Although they are in two opposing organizations, finding the murderer who killed François de Russell is the common goal of both of them. The difference is that Yano is looking for self-salvation, while Alice is driven by revenge.

As a person with the belief of the older generation of TemplarsAlice also longs for save the increasingly decadent Knights. She and Yano fight against the Templars who have changed their ideas, but this cooperation has also led to Yano being often suspected by the assassins.

Supplementary of more descriptions of Alice Recommended to read the novels of "Assassin's Creed Revolution", which are all written from Alice's perspective and supplement the role of Alice.

4 years of preparation - initial release bugs are everywhere

The chart shows the division of labor situation in Ubisoft's development of Assassin's Creed studios in the past 10 years since 2018

Note: CT MTL is Ubisoft Montreal Studio; CT SING is Ubisoft Singapore Studio; CT SOFIA is Ubisoft Sofia Studio; CT QUEBEC is Ubisoft Quebec Studio.

In the GDC held in San Francisco in 2018, Jean Gaidon, director of the Assassin's Creed series, said: "The only way to achieve such frequent game releases is to develop the game at the same time, and they are not making the same game. This is a new attempt for us."

It is not difficult to see that the development of "Assassin's Creed: The Revolution" was originally started after the development of "Brothers" in 2011. Its design positioning is to become the first "Assassin's Creed" game to be truly launched on the next-generation consoles to be released (PS4 and Xbox One). The development of "Assassin's Creed: The Revolution" released in 2014 was even earlier than the development of "Assassin's Creed: The Black Flag" released in 2013.

Because Ubisoft puts technology more priority over content, "The Revolution" and "Assassin's Creed 1" have many similarities.

"If you remember Assassin's Creed 1, it actually has similar problems, because there is a lot of work required when the technical level is very low," Guesdon said at the meeting. "(We have made a lot of corrections to) the game's engine... Instantly, "The Revolution" can still be called one of the best-quality games.

When it was initially released, the game seemed to be full of BUG, flying in the sky and hiding the earth, and patches were updated almost every day. Of course, "The Revolution" was considered "premature". At the beginning, the "Assassin's Creed" series had become a New Year's work, and new works basically appear every year. Ubisoft also misjudged the performance of the new console. The game quality was really amazing when it was released. However, the bugs were really unbearable to lose frames, and the evaluations were declining.

Five years later - come to Paris, France to watch Notre Dame

"Assassin's Creed Revolution" was my first game on Steam. I have played Assassin's Creed 3 and Assassin's Creed 4 before, and have been attracted by them. Later, when I saw the promotional video of "The Great Revolution", I fell in love with this game. I bought it for about 2017. At that time, the computer was not good and the game could not be brought up, so I kept eating dust. Later, I went to college and changed my computer to finally play this game,

I mostly fixed the bugs when I was playing (I heard that Ubisoft secretly reduced the picture quality when repairing the bug, and cut corners). I basically didn't encounter any problems when playing.

The Great Revolution has two common problems, the first one isWhen you first enter the game, the resolution is wrong. You can use n cards to optimize it before entering the game for the first time, or adjust it yourself. The other is crash. Most of this problem is a problem with Chinese input method. Find the add language in the settings-time and date-language, just select English, and switch before entering the game, and it will be fine.

On April 16, 2019, Notre Dame Cathedral encountered the worst fire in history. But while the spectators from all over the world were shocked, they had long forgotten the "glorious" history of Notre Dame. The past and present of this French national treasure building is a living history. In the first century before the establishment of Notre Dame de Paris, there was a pantheon of the ancient Romans.

At that time, Ubisoft made the move to give away "The Revolution" for free, which made "The Revolution" appear in the public's eyes again, and the praise was very popular. The multiplayer mode (the one I liked a lot) that was already cold at that time could almost match it in seconds. Many people around me got this game, and I was fine at that time playing multiplayer mode with them, and I was quite happy.

From the perspective of feeling, this generation can be regarded as the last "orthodox" Assassin's Creed game (Ayu gradually began to seek changes in gameplay since this game). As a French company, Ayu can be said to be striving for excellence in his own capital scene. The addition of skill points is the first step in Ubisoft's attempt. As a partial RPG game to test, the performance of the Great Revolution is pretty good.

As well as the optimization problem of "Assassin's Creed: The Revolution", Ubisoft gave away a free DLC "Dead Kings" to buy ACU players. Although the plot evaluation is not very good, the experience is still OK.

In fact, "The Great Revolution" is the name when the game was first introduced, and "Unity" can be translated as unity. After the second generation of irreconcilable forces, the Brotherhood and the Temple were consistent in direction through the frictions of Edward, Helson and Connor: to usher in a better human society and shape a more perfect world, but there is a core contradiction between "order" and "freedom".

This generation has inherited the The ending of the rebellion. As the current Templar, Xie Yi assassin assassin (the assassin), causing the assassin and the temple camp to miss the opportunity to "unity". In the game, Yano and Alice still failed because of the overall situation and love on the other hand, through various attempts.

But one of the biggest drawbacks of this work is to display There are almost no cuts left in the plot. Although the modern plot has not been easy to go on since Desmon's death, the fourth generation still gave us an employee's perspective, and several modern assassins have also appeared, and there is almost nothing left in "The Revolution".
