Chapter 288: Ubisoft Cannery Wants New Flavors
Li Jinglin was a little stunned.
Assassin's Creed.
It's a game dedicated to Ace Ace Yin.。
Assassin.
It's basically stealth, assassination.
Parkour your way through a variety of conditions, then exit with a dashing leap of faith after the assassination is over.
But in fact, grumpy gamers sometimes don't really like to crouch, dodge, and play some shadow lurking.
Generally, they break through the door directly and kill monsters by bullets.
The main one is a "perfect dive is to make all the witnesses sharks".
Once upon a time, there was a saying that was very popular among the player community.
Who are we? Assassin!
What do we aspire to? Freely!
What are our weapons? Spear! Battle-axe!
What is our Hidden Blade? Ornament!
How do we assassinate? Rush away from the matchless!
How do we sneak in and not be detected? Kill them all!
What is our credo? Everything is false, everything is allowed!
What is the meaning? What's nothing, what do you love, it's spicy! 】
This basically sums up the gameplay of the majority of Assassin's Creed players.
But be aware.
That's a meme.
The game's mechanics actually encourage stealth.
But I never expected it.
Ubisoft, my eldest brother is really persuaded.,This time it's not pretending directly.,The protagonist is a Viking berserker.,The kind that picks an axe.。
"The story of the Viking warriors in England?"
Li Jinglin's eyes really lit up.
An extraordinary detail was noted.
Isn't that saying?
Cut down, that's all An-Sa?
Nest, that's cool.
"Detail what you can reveal."
Seeing that Li Jinglin is so interested.
The old horse didn't hide it.
I told Li Jinglin what I could say.
It's okay not to say it.
This statement really made Li Jinglin more interested.
Although it is possible to choose a man and a woman in the game, if you look at the story, the main character is a female warrior, the reincarnation of Odin.
Later, there will also be the story of Valhalla and Asgard in Norse mythology.
Fire Giant, Frost Giant, Underworld Niflheim, Ragnarok.
In terms of works of art alone, Norse mythology has always been a favorite subject for art creators.
Not to mention.
In the setting of Assassin's Creed, it is not magical.
Rather, it belongs to science fiction.
These "gods" are the "forerunners" of a civilization on the 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 in the protagonist's cognition.
It's a sci-fi mythological story.
Say. Supercomputer "World Tree" or something.
"Don't tell me, I'm really interested."
Li Jinglin's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Viking warriors from 800 AD.
Norse mythological stories.
Sci-fi treatment.
Either way, it's a great way to give creators a steady stream of inspiration.
In the mythological epic stories of reality.
The Epic of Edda, the Song of the Nibelungen, and the Legend of the Sagas had a great influence on the literary and artistic world.
Whether it is from the literature, paintings, and music works of the classical period, or to the modern film and television dramas, anime, and games.
It's a long-standing theme.
The flying Valkyrie, the black dragon Nighod entrenched at the base of the World Tree, the Serpent that devours the world, Jörmungadr, and the Ancestral Giant Ymir
These elements are often seen in modern entertainment works.
What's more, it's a sci-fi myth.
The high technology of the advanced civilization can make art creation more possibilities.
"Haha, Li, then you will come and see it in the next few days? Shall I talk to my boss? ”
"No, old horse, Henrik will take me there."
"Oh, that's good, then I won't look for you, wait for you to come."
"Okay, no problem."
Talked to the old horse.
Hang up the video.
Luo Shiyao walked over from the side and asked curiously.
"Are you going to cooperate with game manufacturers again?"
"Well, it should be, it's still very likely."
Li Jinglin nodded.
"What kind of game, is it fun? I think you guys had a good conversation. ”
Li Jinglin and Lao Ma were communicating in French, and Luo Shiyao couldn't understand it.
I asked immediately.
"Haha, whether it's fun or not, I'm not too good to say."
Li Jinglin smiled.
When he gave Luo Shiyao a brief chat about the story background, setting, theme and so on.
"It depends on what you like."
Pinched his chin.
Li Jinglin spoke.
"Open world exploration, role-playing, equipment, and the development of character skill attributes?"
"And the art?"
It's hard to explain it clearly.
Li Jinglin immediately opened the Internet and searched for videos of the Ubisoft Assassin's Creed series of games.
In recent times, the two most popular games in the Ubisoft Assassin's Creed series are the origins of the Egyptian mythology series and the Odyssey of the ancient Greek mythology series.
On the YouTube video, whether it is a promotional video, a remix, or an actual game screen, it is very complete.
After adjusting to 4K HD, I gave Luo Shiyao a look.
Origins, the four dead worlds of Egyptian mythology, the Reed Plains, the Desert, the Sun City, and the Underworld.
Odyssey, Elysian Elysium, Underworld, Atlantis.
All have spectacular art designs.
As a triple-A game goalkeeper, Ubisoft Artwork carries the entire company on his shoulders.
Even if the plot, gameplay, fighting system, and routines are formulaic, they have all been angry with players, and sometimes they are special liver, and they are tired after playing for a long time. However, it is still firmly in the 3A level.
You can imagine what the level of this art is.
That must be the strength of other departments to give the artist a knock when they pass by.
"I'll go! I'll go! ”
Luo Shiyao, who hardly plays games, has never seen this.
Seeing such exquisite artwork, I saw the sense of substitution of a triple-A game.
I couldn't hold it anymore all of a sudden.
The twinkle in his eyes was written "I'm going to play this!" ”
Women are visual animals, and Luo Shiyao is no exception.
Standing on the commanding heights and starting to synchronize, after an eagle's cry, with the hovering eagle flying, the surrounding scenery will be displayed in 360 degrees.
And then jump down with a leap of faith.
This feeling alone made Luo Shiyao feel numb on her scalp.
I can't help but praise this as a genius idea.
"I don't know if it's fun or not."
Luo Shiyao's eyes lit up.
I can't move it anymore.
"But it must be very pretty!"
The video playing at this time is a contrast between the game and reality.
It looks almost the same as reality.
This provoked Luo Shiyao, who didn't know about 3A games, exclaimed.
As everyone knows.
Someone once knew all about parts of France because of the Assassin's Creed Big G Destiny that they had been playing for a long time, and even felt like they were returning home.
"And that's not all."
Li Jinglin began to introduce other things.
"Ubisoft is a very representative big factory, and it's always been difficult to do things in the open world, and others can't learn the set of R stars, and the Polish stupid donkey plays the plot, so other people who do open world can copy Ubisoft's set."
"Although canned, this kind of formula is actually an important benchmark in the industry."
"Even the Governor General of France has publicly stated that the gaming industry is one of the pillar industries of France, and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series is indispensable to France."
Li Jinglin exclaimed.
Should it be said or not.
Games are indeed an important part of driving the development and progress of technology.
Moreover.
If the game industry continues to develop benignly, it can evolve into the ninth art.
It's better to say.
Nowadays, there are many games that can be called the ninth art.
Whether it is carrying culture, humanities, music, art, architecture, ideas
It's all far beyond the game itself.
And, even if we don't talk about the controversy of ancient history, but later from the Italian Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, the fall of Constantinople, the Great Gage of France, the War of Independence of the Lighthouse. Ubisoft does have a hand in travel simulators and history. ”
"At a time when parents in China are still debating whether games are good or bad, many Chinese teenagers have already learned from Ubisoft's games."
Li Jinglin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Isn't the reason why we want to take the initiative to contact some game companies is to find a direction for the development of modern cultural carriers?
Once, when a history teacher told the children about the history of the Big G Destiny period, he opened the Assassin's Creed - the Great G Destiny, and took the students to see Notre Dame Cathedral with their own eyes, participate in the tide of history, and feel the atmosphere of that year.
Isn't this "edutainment"?
"I want to play!"
Luo Shiyao smiled.
Open up your little notebook and get ready to study this "Ubisoft" Assassin's Creed series of games.
"Don't worry."
Li Jinglin smiled.
"When you are waiting for other activities, the game can break bones."
"After I go back, I'll have two ruthless computers, and we'll play together again."
"Uh-huh!!"
Under the leadership of Li Jinglin.
Luo Shiyao opened the door to a new world.
The curiosity about the game has reached a height.
It seems that I am beginning to understand why so many boys like to play computer games so much.
Don't say anything else.
Just talking about this grand world and exquisite art, it already makes Luo Shiyao feel comfortable.
"It's an interesting attempt to make a soundtrack to Assassin's Creed."
Li Jinglin pinched his chin.
"Successive generations of Assassin's Creed have used a melody called House of Ezio, and in each new generation, a new theme song is written, and the melody of House of Ezio is varied according to the story and style of the theme song, and then the two pieces are fused."
"I haven't tried it yet."
"Huh? Sounds interesting, huh? ”
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 should match the background of the new work.
It has a distinct regional or era style.
This style is called B.
Therefore, we will design a B style B first, and then arrange this A in B style as well.
Eventually, bA and bB are combined into a complete tune.
Of course.
It can also be seen as integrating this A, as a theme motive of the music, into the new song B, forming an interaction with the unique theme motive in B.
But it is also necessary 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 come into its own.
This is undoubtedly a test of the composer's skills.
Li Jinglin found out the theme songs of different styles in the two works of Origin and Odyssey and gave them to Luo Shiyao.
One is a variation on the Assassin's Creed: Origin version.
《Ezio's Family(Origins Version)》
The other is a variation of the Assassin's Creed: Odyssey version.
《Assassin's Creed》
Regardless of which version it is, the new melody in addition to the old melody has independently produced a new theme song.
"Huh? This feels so mysterious, there is a sense of mystery and weirdness of the pyramid pharaohs? ”
Luo Shiyao raised her eyebrows.
The excitement is palpable.
"This. I'll go, the female voice singing really feels like a heroic epic! ”
"yes!"
Li Jinglin smiled.
Should I say it or not, such a unique creative requirement, coupled with such a theme.
It's really addictive for creators.
"You're right, from Egyptian mythology, the mystery of the pyramids, to the heroic epics of ancient Greek mythology, it's all unique."
"This work is the content of the Viking conquest of England, from the 800 years of ice and fire, tsk, can make another texture style."
Swiping the video, the little couple chatted excitedly about the game, and they chatted for most of the night.
Until noon the next day.
After the two got up.
Henrik quickly called.
"Hello? Plum! ”
"I've got in touch with someone from Ubisoft, why don't you come over for a meal and visit the headquarters?"
"So fast?!"
Li Jinglin was stunned.
But even if it's a surprise.
Hello.
It's a fascinating subject.
"Okay, let's go together?"
"Yes! Then I'll take someone to the hotel to find you now, and eat at the hotel. ”
Henrik also doesn't ink.
When even the itinerary is arranged.
Ubisoft has many branches around the world.
Naturally, the group was heading to the headquarters in Montreuil, France.
Montreuil is located on the eastern outskirts of Paris, very close by.
Soon.
Henrik brought Ubisoft's people to the hotel and met with Li Jinglin.
After eating.
The group went straight to the headquarters.
"Mr. Li, this is our company's headquarters."
The person who came to greet Li Jinglin was an executive of Ubisoft, Leo.
Since we talked about it at dinner before.
After walking into the company, Leo smiled and took Li Jinglin to the place where Lao Ma worked.
"Haha! See who's coming? Plum! ”
"Yo, old horse, you're getting more and more energetic!"
The old horse trotted over and gave Li Jinglin a big bear hug.
It seems that I have received the news a long time ago, and I have been waiting for it in advance.
"How about it, Lee, would you like to cooperate with us?"
The old horse asked heartily.
Listening to Lao Ma's request, Li Jinglin nodded immediately.
"Of course, no problem, I'd love to."
"Haha! That's great. ”
In the laughter of the old horse.
Leo was a little silly.
This. That's what you promised?
Not considered?
Good guys, can it be done so easily? So what do I do?
It's just a meal with someone?!
Big Brother Ubisoft really listens to persuasion, MD Valhalla scolds, and Mirage is really an old assassin mode
Actually,Should I say it or not,Ubisoft Big Brother's game does have something.,After all,There aren't many big factories that can stably make canned food with more than 7 points.,Canned food is canned.,But it's really good from art to soundtrack.,After all, it's not important that Sword Fairy belongs to that kind of game.,The important thing is that it must be a good-looking player == I still like it.。
Since I prefer an open-world RPG, I've got into the mythological trilogy.
Buy it when you break a bone, and then enjoy it for a long time and play slowly, and you are not in a hurry, push a little bit every day, and the experience is very good, otherwise you have been playing for a long time, and it is indeed too painful.
I have to say that Ubisoft France is a real man in adversity.
I thought I was pounced again, but it turned out that a video of a Star Wars actual machine was directly wet for me. (I declare that Ubisoft is the real starry sky!) )
Avatar is also really beautiful, but it's a pity that it's a first-person perspective, so let's wait and see.
