Chapter 834: Entering Animus (Three Changes)

On June 1, Assassin's Creed: Origins officially opened for beta.

For this game, Chen Mo didn't engage in any propaganda wars, nor did he care about the situation of "Castle: Medieval".

Strictly speaking, Assassin's Creed: Origins didn't have any competitive games during its release, and the game's real competitor was 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 original "Assassin's Creed" as in their previous lives.

As for whether this series can become a new golden sign of Thunder Mutual Entertainment......

Then you have to wait for players to give feedback after the trial, or even see the sales and media ratings, to really know.

……

The experience store has not yet opened, and there is already a long queue outside.

Although the new headquarters of Thunder Mutual Entertainment will be completed this year, players do not know exactly when they will be able to move there.

However, many people are still relatively optimistic, since Chen Mo said that he could move this year, it should not be a big problem. Days like this when you have to queue up to play a new game can also be said to be one day less than a day, and you should cherish it.

The little fat man Zou Zhuo was naturally one of the first players to arrive, standing at the front of the queue. He looked back, only to find a familiar figure.

"Old Qin? What are you doing here? "The little fat man is very surprised, Lao Qin doesn't often appear in the experience store.

"Come, master, let's change positions, you come to me." As he spoke, Zou Zhuo swapped places with Master Lin and stood in front of Lao Qin.

During this time, Master Lin was also a frequent visitor to the experience store, as for why he always ran to the experience store as a fortune teller......

In his own words, "Count your fingers today, and it is advisable to go online". But he's been coming to the store for at least three weeks in a row......

In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Master Lin keeps 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 flow of people in the experience store is much larger than that of the overpass, and he can also pull people to tell fortunes......

Of course, Master Lin didn't set up any hexagram stalls or anything like that, he told fortunes directly orally, and he usually played games in the experience store. Chen Mo thought he was quite interesting, so he didn't chase him. Although this master is a bit funny, he is not bad at heart.

On the contrary, Master Lin was often bullied......

Master Lin, who didn't play games much, was about to start playing chicken mobile games under the influence of his ears and eyes......

Lao Qin looked into the experience store and said, "Oh, I heard that Chen Zai has a new game, of course he wants to play it." However, I'm looking forward to seeing if this game is like Dark Souls. ”

Zou Zhuo said: "Well, "Dark Souls" is indeed a classic. This time it's still a cold weapon battle, so it's possible that it's still a combat system with Dark Souls, right? I feel that among the people who came to line up today, they have all played "Dark Souls". ”

Lao Qin looked at Master Lin in front of Zou Zhuo: "This master...... Have you ever played Dark Souls too? ”

Hearing the words "Dark Souls", Master Lin couldn't help but shudder, recalling some amazing experience......

"Ahem, two little brothers." Master Lin turned around, "When you are young, why do you always think about darkness in your heart?" I'm not going to play Dark Souls, you should play something more mind-purifying. ”

Zou Zhuo was confused: "For example? ”

Master Lin smiled and said, "Have you two played 'Rhythm Master'?" ”

Lao Qin: "Celebrating the festival? Beat the master? That's right, today is Children's Day! Master, since you ask for so, then you're welcome! ”

Master Lin: "...... There you go! ”

……

It's not just players who are waiting to try out Assassin's Creed: Origins, Lin Mu has already arrived at the experience store in advance and entered the VR game pod to prepare for the trial.

Although Lin Mu was directly involved in the development of Assassin's Creed: Origins, he really didn't try out what the finished game was like.

Because the development schedule of the whole game is very tight, everyone has their own role. Lin Mu has been researching various historical materials, discussing the details of sets, costumes and other aspects with artists and designers, and his work is also very intense, so he has no time to learn about other aspects.

It wasn't until the game was officially developed and the trial was officially opened that Lin Mu finally found time to experience the game.

Lin Mu is also very much looking forward to how the game of "Assassin's Creed: Origins" will be completed.

As a designer, Lin Mu has also played a lot of VR games, and he has only made action games such as "Tang Dynasty", so he has a rough psychological expectation for the game "Assassin's Creed".

Whether it's gameplay, art, or music, Assassin's Creed: Origins is world-class, and Lin Mu knows that.

While the other players were still queuing, Lin Mu had already secretly opened a back door and lay down in the game cabin.

……

In the game cabin, there is an additional icon with a sense of technology: Animus.

This is the magical program that appeared in the previous trailer and is said to allow players to travel back in time. But about the specific setting of this program, Lin Mu is still unclear.

Open Animus, and an interface full of technology appeared in Lin Mu's field of vision.

In the center of the field of view is a horizontal fragment of DNA, constantly flipping and rolling.

At the top left of this DNA fragment is the Abstergo logo, the time, and a large line of letters: Waiting to be loaded...

The DNA fragment then flipped parallel to the field of view, making it look like a bridge of great span, connecting the player and extending into the darkness beyond.

Countless fragments of images emerge from this DNA sequence, and these are all images that seem quite historical, with various eras and various costumes...... These pictures are all fleeting, and they can't be seen realistically.

At the same time, the male voice in the Animus promo video resounded again.

["In each person's genes, there is the memory of his ancestors. Just like the migration of migratory birds, animals gain these experiences from genetics. Our DNA is like an archive, containing not only the genetic structure inherited from previous generations, but also the ...... Memories of our ancestors. ”】

"Animus is a new device developed by Abstergo Entertainment that allows users to read their own memories and relive the lives of their ancestors. That is, it is a projector capable of imaging genetic memories in three dimensions. ”】

"This is not a time machine, but a virtual reality simulator. Keep in mind that Animus is not omnipotent, and in some cases, the memories it presents are not 100% accurate, and there may be historical inaccuracies or translation errors. Sometimes this is intentional, and it is possible that the designer may change the setting out of good faith or bad faith. ”】

[For example, they translate and simplify the language of the characters so that modern users can understand the dialogue without barriers, and they may also limit the user's ability to see certain memories. If the user does something wrong, it can lead to some strange consequences. If you see yourself flying into the sky and stuck in the dirt, don't panic, restarting the program will fix most of the problems. ”】

"Remember, Animus users can't change history, they can only relive it. They have to be perfectly synchronized with the actions of the character they are playing in order to better read the next memory fragment. If the user does the exact opposite, such as killing innocents, it often results in a 'loss of sync' and has to start all over again. ”】

["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 to 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 was the HELIX software in animus mentioned in the introduction.

There are many modules in the software, each with a background image and a bust of a character. It's just that only the first module is available now, and the bust of the character is the same Bayek who appeared several times in the previous trailer.
