In anticipation of players, Assassin's Creed: Origins has been updated with two more promotional videos.

And "Castle: Medieval" is not idle, and it has also updated some gameplay introduction videos.

In fact, strictly speaking, the difference between the game types of these two games is still relatively large, and there is no competition in the absolute sense, unlike "Uncharted" and "Lost Treasure".

Many die-hard gamers who like similar genres will basically buy Castle: Medieval no matter what it looks like.

But that doesn't mean there is no competition between the two games, and their main competition is not in their core fans, but in the player base that loves both genres.

In fact, in many cases, the division of the player group is relatively vague, many players play SLG, MOBA and FPS, but they like RPG the most. This kind of player does not have an absolute preference for a certain genre, so when he chooses a game, he will consider other factors, such as the theme of the game.

Castle: Medieval is not just a construction or management simulator, the biggest advantage of the game over PC is the sense of immersion, if you just build a house in the castle and observe the life of the peasants and soldiers in the castle from the perspective of God...... There's really no point in spending money on VR.

Therefore, in "Castle: Medieval", the simulation is only a small part, and the core experience is to experience life in the Middle Ages as a lord.

For example, walking in your own castle, watching blacksmiths make iron, watching farmers transport food, watching soldiers train, etc., and the real excitement for players lies in the battle.

In this game, the combat brings players a much greater sense of coolness than the simulated management gameplay, which is a VR game after all.

For players, the coolest part of the whole game should be to command their own troops to fight outside the castle, defeat the enemy troops and then take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and go to other castles to plunder resources.

In this part, the combat system of "Castle: Medieval" is very similar to many RPG games and ACT games, and even many players consider buying "Castle: Medieval", mainly to experience its combat system and experience the kind of cold weapon combat that highly restores history, and is not interested in the operation and construction of castles.

After all, simple simulation management games are already very unpopular in the field of VR platforms.

Therefore, although "Castle: Medieval" and "Assassin's Creed: Origins" do not compete in an absolute sense, the release of these two games at the same time will definitely have a certain impact on each other's sales, especially for those who have a large number of marginal players, who are likely to buy only one.

……

Assassin's Creed: Origins released two new promotional CGs, titled Egyptian Style and The Beginning of the Legend.

In "Egyptian Style", the entire promotional CG is still all based on in-game live pictures, but the protagonist is no longer a historical figure, but the scenery of Egypt.

In this promotional CG, in the melodious and soothing ballad, scenes of desperation are presented in front of everyone.

A group of pyramids in the yellow sand.

The industrious people of Egypt.

The sparkling sunset on the Nile.

An Egyptian city-state in an oasis.

A hippopotamus with a bloody mouth and a crocodile biting together.

A male lion catching an antelope on the steppe.

A crocodile swimming on the surface of the water.

Hyenas foraging for food on the grassland.

Egyptian slave laborers building statues of gods.

At the end of the picture, Bayek rides on a camel, looking down on Egyptian territory from the top of the hill, which is even more beautiful in the sunlight.

In "The Beginning of the Legend", the entire promotional CG focuses on Bayek.

Bayek in the mural and Bayek in reality are perfectly combined through camera switching, telling the story of this legendary figure through scenes of thrilling battles.

Slip off the pyramid.

Fight with giant war elephants.

Assassinate with a Hidden Blade.

Come to the temple that has been sealed for a long time.

Fight to the death in the gladiatorial arena.

Vigorous naval battles.

Throat cuts, chest piercings, headshots.

Bayek's impassioned statement was deafening.

["We must fight for the free will of the people! ”】

["Even if there is little hope, our brotherhood is the only chance! ”】

……

Unlike the previous games, the three trailers for Assassin's Creed: Origins don't have much of a pretentious or cover-up, and basically explain many aspects of the game clearly.

The earliest promotional film "The Struggle for Power" tells the story background and main synopsis of the game, that is, the history of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra.

"Egyptian Style" tells the world view of the game, and it is clear that this game is an open world that includes all things, and even the animal ecology of the Egyptian wild, hippos, crocodiles, and lions are made.

"The Beginning of the Legend" focuses on Bayek, reflecting his personality charm from the side, and basically explaining the game's combat style.

Bayek can assassinate with a Hidden Blade, shoot enemies from a distance with a bow and arrow, or engage in hand-to-hand combat with a sword, scimitar, or heavy weapon.

is different from "The End of America", the previous promotional video of "The End of America" can be said to be a cloud and mountain fog cover, and after watching it, I can't guess what story this game is telling.

But after watching the trailer for Assassin's Creed: Origins, most players have already guessed the core gameplay of the game and the general direction of the story.

The only question that may arise is: why is this game called Assassin's Creed? Where are the Assassins?

However, this "clarity" did not affect the players' expectations for this game, on the contrary, after learning about these elements through the promotional CG, the players' sense of anticipation became even more explosive!

"I'll go, is Chen Mo's new game going to be an Egyptian travel simulator? I actually saw "Animal World" in the promotional video?? Hippos, crocodiles, lions, antelopes, hounds...... Even did all of this? Don't tell me these animals have anything to do with the main story! ”

"So, this game is supposed to be open world, right?"

"I saw the shield in the propaganda video, and I also saw the assassination...... Since there is an assassination, then this game shouldn't be like "Dark Souls", right?? ”

"Upstairs, "Dark Souls" also has assassinations, isn't it an assassination to walk slowly to the back of the knight and stab him in the back2333"

"I'm really interested in the name of the game, Assassin's Creed, and I really want to know what Assassin's Creed is!"

"Don't say anything, you have to buy and buy for Egyptian style! I really wanted to experience what it's like to slide down the pyramid! ”

“…… Grave head gliding?? ”

"Hahaha upstairs is so talented, really grave gliding!"
