Li Jinglin was a little stunned.
Assassin's Creed.
This is a game specifically about Ace Ace Yin.
assassin.
It's basically stealth and assassination.
Parkour in various conditions, and then exit with a graceful leap of faith after the assassination.
But in fact, violent gamers sometimes don't like to squat, dodge, and play shadow lurking.
Usually, you just break through the door and rely on rebounds to kill the monsters.
The main theme is a "perfect infiltration that kills all witnesses."
Once upon a time, there was such a saying, which was very popular among players.
【who are we? assassin!
What do we yearn for? free!
What are our weapons? Spear! Tomahawk!
What is our hidden blade? decorate!
How do we assassinate? Charge head-on to Wushuang!
How do we sneak in without being discovered? Kill them all!
What is our credo? All things are false, all things are permitted!
What means? No matter what, just do whatever you want and it will be hot! 】
This can basically summarize the gameplay of the majority of Assassin's Creed players.
But be aware.
This is also a joke.
The mechanics of the game actually encourage stealth.
But I never expected it.
My eldest brother from Ubisoft really listened to the advice and stopped pretending this time. The protagonist is a Viking berserker, the kind who wields an axe.
"The story of Viking warriors in England?"
Li Jinglin's eyes really lit up.
Noticed an extraordinary detail.
Isn't this saying
Those who were chopped were all Ang-Sa?
Nest, that’s cool.
"Please tell me the details you can."
Seeing how interested Li Jinglin is.
Lao Ma didn't hide anything at all.
He told Li Jinglin what he could.
It’s okay not to say it.
This statement really made Li Jinglin more interested.
Although you can choose between male and female in the game, if you look at the story, the protagonist is a female warrior, the reincarnation of Odin.
Later, there will also be stories about Hall of Valor and Asgard in Nordic mythology.
Fire giants, frost giants, Niflheim, Ragnarok.
As far as artistic works are concerned, Norse mythology has always been a favorite theme among art creators.
not to mention.
The setting of Assassin's Creed is not about magic.
It's science fiction.
These "gods" are the "pioneers" of a civilization on earth, the Isu people of the Isu civilization.
The "Norse mythology" experienced by the protagonist should actually be based on the story of the "precursor" civilization that the protagonist perceives.
It is a science fiction fairy tale.
For example, the supercomputer "Yggdrasil" or the like.
"Don't tell me, I'm really interested."
Li Jinglin's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Viking warriors from more than 800 AD.
Norse mythology.
Sci-fi treatment.
No matter which one it is, it can bring endless inspiration to creators.
In a realistic mythological epic story.
The Epic Edda, the Nibelungenlied, and the Saga have a great influence on the literary and artistic circles.
Whether it is literature, paintings, and music works from the classical period, or modern movies, TV dramas, animations, and games.
They are all themes that I have been working on for a long time.
The flying Valkyrie, the black dragon Nighold entrenched at the roots of the World Tree, the world-devouring snake Jörmungandr, the ancestor giant Ymir
These elements are often seen in modern entertainment works.
What's more, this is a science fiction myth.
The high technology of advanced civilization can make art creation more possible.
"Haha, Li, are you coming to see me in the next few days? Shall I tell my boss?"
"No, Ma, Henrik will take me there."
"Oh, okay, then I won't look for you and wait until you come over."
"OK, no problem."
Chatted with Lao Ma.
Hang up the video.
Luo Shiyao walked over from the side and asked curiously.
"Are you going to cooperate with game manufacturers again?"
"Well, probably, the possibility is still very high."
Li Jinglin nodded.
"What game is it? Is it fun? I think you guys are having a good time chatting."
Li Jinglin and Lao Ma were communicating in French, and Luo Shiyao couldn't understand either.
He asked immediately.
"Haha, I can't say whether it's fun or not."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
Dang even briefly talked to Luo Shiyao about the story background, settings, themes, etc.
"It mainly depends on what elements you like."
He pinched his chin.
Li Jinglin started talking.
"Open world exploration, role playing, equipment, character skill attribute development?"
"And artists?"
It’s hard to explain clearly just by talking about it.
Li Jinglin immediately opened the Internet and searched for videos of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series of games.
In recent times, the two most popular games in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series are the Origins of the Egyptian Mythology series and the Odyssey of the Ancient Greek Mythology series.
The videos on YouTube are all comprehensive, whether they are promotional videos, mixed cuts, or actual game footage.
After switching to 4K high definition, I gave Luo Shiyao a look.
In the origin, there are four death worlds in Egyptian mythology, the Reed Field, the Desert, the City of the Sun, and the Underworld.
In the Odyssey, the pure land of bliss, Elysian, the underworld, and Atlantis.
All have very spectacular art designs.
As the gatekeeper of AAA games, Ubisoft artists carry the entire company on their shoulders.
Even though the plot, gameplay, fighting system, and formulaic routines have all been criticized by players, and sometimes they are very annoying and tired after playing for a long time, it still ranks firmly in the 3A level.
One can imagine what the level of this artist is.
It must be a skill that other departments would have to give a thumbs up to the artist when they pass by.
"I'm going! I'm going!"
Luo Shiyao, who hardly plays games, has never seen this.
Leng Buding saw such exquisite art and the sense of immersion in a 3A level game.
All of a sudden I couldn't hold myself any longer.
The twinkle in his eyes says "I want to play this!"
Women are all visual creatures, and Luo Shiyao is no exception.
Standing on the commanding heights, synchronization begins. After an eagle cry, the eagle flies in circles, displaying the surrounding scenery in a 360° three-dimensional manner.
Then take another leap of faith.
Just this feeling made Luo Shiyao's scalp feel numb.
I couldn't help but praise this as a genius idea.
"I don't know if it's fun or not."
Luo Shiyao's eyes were bright.
There is simply no way to move it.
"But it must be very beautiful!"
The video played at this time is the comparison between the game and reality.
It looks almost the same as reality.
This made Luo Shiyao, who didn't understand 3A games, scream in surprise.
Little did I know.
Someone once played Assassin's Creed Grand G for a long time and knew parts of France so well that it even felt like he had returned home.
"And it's not just that."
Li Jinglin began to introduce other things.
"Ubisoft is a very representative company. It has always been difficult to make open world things. Others can't learn what Rockstar does. The Polish jackass is playing with plots. Therefore, other people who make open worlds can What I copied was Ubisoft’s approach.”
"Although it can be canned, this formula is actually an important benchmark in the industry."
"Even the leader of France has publicly stated that the gaming industry is one of France's pillar industries, and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series is indispensable to France."
Li Jinglin sighed in praise.
Should be said or not.
Games are indeed an important part of promoting technological development and progress.
Moreover.
If the game industry continues to develop healthily, it can evolve into the ninth art.
rather say.
Nowadays, there are many games that can be called the ninth art.
Whether it is culture, humanities, music, art, architecture, ideas
It goes far beyond the game itself.
“Moreover, even if we don’t talk about the controversial issues in ancient history, the Renaissance in Italy, the Industrial Revolution, the fall of Constantinople, the Great G in France, and the War of Independence in the Lighthouse. Ubisoft has made great achievements in travel simulators and Historically, there is indeed a skill.”
"While domestic parents are still debating whether games are good or bad, many Chinese teenagers have already learned from Ubisoft's games."
Li Jinglin couldn't help sighing.
Isn't the reason why we take the initiative to contact some game companies to find a direction for the development of modern cultural carriers?
Once upon a time, there was a history teacher who opened Assassin's Creed - The Great G when telling children about the history of the Great G. In an immersive way, he took the students to see Notre Dame de Paris with their own eyes and participate in the wave of history. , feel the atmosphere of that year.
Isn’t this “education through entertainment”?
"I want to play!"
Luo Shiyao chuckled.
Open your little notebook and prepare to study this "Ubisoft" Assassin's Creed series of games.
"Don't worry."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
"When you are waiting for activities, the game can break your bones."
"When I get back, I'll get two more powerful computers, and we can play together."
"Uh-huh!!"
Under the leadership of Li Jinglin.
Luo Shiyao opened the door to a new world.
Curiosity about the game has reached a high level.
It seems that I am beginning to understand why many boys particularly like playing computer games.
Don't say anything else.
Just talking about this grand world and exquisite artwork already made Luo Shiyao feel comfortable.
“It’s quite an interesting endeavor to create a soundtrack for Assassin’s Creed.”
Li Jinglin pinched his chin.
"Assassin's Creeds of all generations will continue to use a melody called [House of Ezio], and in each new generation, a new theme song will be written. Based on the story of the new work and the style of the theme song, the melody of House of Ezio will be Make variations on the melody and then fuse the two pieces.”
"I have never made such an attempt."
"Huh? That sounds interesting, right?"
Luo Shiyao immediately understood what Li Jinglin said.
Assassin's Creed has a theme music that runs throughout the series.
Let's call it A.
And every new work needs a theme song B.
This theme song B must fit the background of the new work.
With a distinctive regional or era style.
This style is tentatively called b.
Therefore, I will first design a B style, and then arrange this A in the B style.
Finally, bA and bB are combined into a complete song.
certainly.
It can also be seen as integrating this A, as a theme motivation of music, into the new song B, forming an interaction with the unique theme motivation in B.
But we also need to make this new song B so that it can be picked out separately to form a song.
There must be both new melodies and old melodies.
The new melody can also become a song of its own.
This is undoubtedly a test of the composer's skills.
Li Jinglin found different styles of theme songs from the two works Origin and Odyssey, and played them to Luo Shiyao.
One is a variation of the Assassin's Creed: Origins version.
"Ezio's Family (Origins Version)"
The other is a variation of the Assassin's Creed: Odyssey version.
"Assassin's Creed"
No matter which version it is, the new melody in addition to the old melody independently creates a new theme song.
"Huh? This feels so mysterious, kind of mysterious and weird like the Pyramid Pharaoh?"
Luo Shiyao raised her eyebrows.
The excitement was palpable.
"Here, let me go, the female voice singing really feels like a heroic epic!"
"right!"
Li Jinglin chuckled.
It should be said or not, such unique creative requirements, coupled with such a subject matter.
It’s really addictive for creators.
"You are right. From Egyptian mythology, the mystery of the pyramids, to the heroic epics in ancient Greek mythology, they are all very unique."
"This time's work is about the Vikings' conquest of England. It comes from the ice and fire of 800 AD. Wow, it can completely create a different texture style."
While watching the video, the young couple chatted excitedly about the game for most of the night.
until noon the next day.
After the two got up.
Henrik called quickly.
"Hello? Lee!"
"I contacted someone from Ubisoft. Would you like to have a meal together and then visit the headquarters?"
"So fast?!"
Li Jinglin was stunned.
But it was a surprise.
Get better soon.
The subject matter is indeed very attractive.
"Okay, let's go together?"
"Okay! Then I will take people to the hotel to find you now. Let's eat in the hotel."
Henrik doesn't ink either.
The itinerary was immediately arranged.
Ubisoft has many branches around the world.
Naturally, they were going to the headquarters of François Montreuil.
Montreuil is located in the eastern suburbs of Paris, very close to it.
soon.
Henrik brought the people from Ubisoft to the hotel and met with Li Jinglin.
After a meal.
The group went straight to the headquarters.
"Mr. Li, this is the headquarters of our company."
The person who came to greet Li Jinglin was Leo, an executive from Ubisoft.
Because we had talked about it at dinner before.
After entering the company, Leo smiled and took Li Jinglin to where Lao Ma worked.
"Haha! Look who's here? Li!"
"Hey, old horse, you are getting more and more energetic!"
Lao Ma trotted over and gave Li Jinglin a big bear hug.
It seems that I have received the news a long time ago and have been waiting for it in advance.
"How about it, Li, do you want to cooperate with us?"
Lao Ma asked cheerfully.
Listening to Lao Ma's request, Li Jinglin nodded immediately.
"Of course it's no problem, I'm very willing."
"Haha! That's great."
In the laughter of Lao Ma.
Leo was a little silly.
This. This is what you agreed to?
Not considered?
Good guy, can it be done so easily? So what do I do?
Just having a meal with someone? !
Brother Ubisoft really listened to the advice. Once MD Valhalla scolded him, Mirage really changed the old assassin mode.
In fact, it should be said that Ubisoft's games do have something good. After all, there are not many big companies that can stably produce canned products with a score of 7 or above. Canned products are canned products, but from art to soundtrack, it is really good. After all, Sword Fairy It doesn’t matter what kind of game it is, what’s important is that it must be a good-looking player == I still like it.
Since I prefer open world RPGs, I have picked up all the Myth trilogy.
I buy it when I have a fracture, and then I can enjoy it for a long time and play it slowly without being in a hurry. I just push it a little bit every day and the experience is very good. Otherwise, playing it for a long time is really too painful.
I have to say that Ubisoft France is a real man in times of adversity.
I originally thought I was flabbergasting again, but a real-life Star Wars video showed me my eyes and made me wet. (I declare that Ubisoft is the real starry sky!)
Avatar is really beautiful, but it's a pity that it's from a first-person perspective. I'll wait and see when the time comes.
