From the beginning, the Assassin's Creed series has been used to demonstrate the standard industrial game production process to the industry.
In the first part, thousands of game developers from different companies with different responsibilities worked together to let them understand how developers can maximize their role in the game industry system and make game development more efficient.
Then use the time saved to think about more directions on how to create fun games.
It’s just that most commercial companies have only learned how to develop industrial standard games more efficiently in the first place, but have forgotten the latter.
More companies learning this trick will only use the time saved to urge employees to develop more formulaic games like this.
It's really boring to put it this way.
But this process has indeed cultivated a group of game developers whose average quality is much higher than before industrialized games.
And once such developers are familiar with the entire game development process and rhythm, they can often get some good responses when they go out and recruit a few people to make games alone.
Large companies seek stability and develop more formulaic games.
As long as you want to play, there seems to be endless content in this game.
Small teams try their best to create as much interesting content as possible, and at the same time stimulate large companies to follow suit to avoid falling behind.
As for game developers like them, they actually no longer value such formulaic games. They believe that they have certain pursuits and should learn something more meaningful.
These people took action immediately.
The game Sekiro Shadows Die Twice only had a capacity of over 20 GB when it was first released, but its game content is quite rich. Whether it is map scenes, stories, and combat content, it will make people feel that it is worth the money.
At this time, he was still a little confused and yelled subconsciously: "What are you guys doing? Why aren't you working at your work stations? Although the president has given us more time to develop games, this does not mean
It means you can be lazy during working hours!"
The gameplay content has been increased a bit, but it is still relatively limited.
He was still in a daze when he came to the company in the morning.
Of course, the main story does not have much impact. It is the backbone of the entire game. However, in this game, it seems that the main story is secondary. The people and things encountered during the development of the main story are the most interesting.
At that time, Surui Electronics held a special internal meeting to study the game and explore how some of the technical details in the game were implemented.
"We found something interesting."
"Well...it's true...it's a little different." Someone finally had to admit it.
"Assassin's Creed Revelations uses some technology we've never seen before?" the minister asked.
But a kind of randomness that they can't figure out adds a lot of extra content to those gameplays.
When the minister heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, it seems that you guys were really playing this game seriously yesterday. I'm very pleased. I thought you guys would go out to drink and sing, and you wouldn't listen to me at all.
Woolen cloth."
"No, it's not the same as Sekiro. It's something else. We don't understand it yet, so we're analyzing it."
"Huh? What?"
He also ate and drank a lot yesterday and went drinking and singing with his friends.
At the same time, someone else said: "And have you noticed? It seems that these stories are almost never repeated. Unless we follow an NPC continuously for at least half an hour, we can see the repeated tasks, actions and voices of this NPC. But
Unfortunately, the capacity of this game is only over 30 GB.”
The minister also gradually woke up.
"Yes, we might be able to find some answers if we dismantle it."
Moreover, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself did not promote the game content too much before its release. The sales volume relied entirely on the reputation of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and the support of fans of the Assassin's Creed series.
When everyone heard it, they immediately looked eager to try it.
Pushing the door open, he noticed that many people were gathering in front of several computers and doing something.
So much that it overflows.
After all, the essence of this game has not changed much from the previous Assassin's Creed.
The minister didn't understand for a while.
This is also the most common thing that is done between the workplace and friends in Japan.
There are quite a few stories like this in the entire game plot.
The story is a bit strange, but also somewhat nonsensical and reasonable.
Now, some people say that Assassin's Creed, which was once used as the benchmark for industrialized games, has improved dramatically. They all find it a bit unbelievable.
Moreover, the game's configuration requirements are not high and it has been welcomed by many players.
Occasionally, I met a passerby who was super good at fighting. He was a talker and kept recommending him to go fishing. Then on the way to fishing, he met a group of law enforcement teams who were violently enforcing the law. The two of them went up and gave these law enforcement teams a beating without saying a word.
, and then ran out of the city with a wanted warrant, not forgetting to continue fishing.
"Is it some magical game compression technology? Is it similar to the previous Sekiro game?"
"How about... let's disassemble the game data package?"
belch.
"Yes, this game only has more than 30 GB. If there is so much story content in the subsequent games, it will be more than 30 GB!"
This can be regarded as forming a positive cycle again.
The fan base of this game has been basically fixed, and Takeyusei himself has said that Assassin's Creed can remain unchanged for at least four games.
"Ah, Minister, we are not being lazy, we are parsing the game's data packets."
Because there is no reason to do this in Assassin's Creed.
"Yes, I don't know how it is done. In short, this technology allows the game to have a small storage capacity, but also has quite rich game content."
With such a skeptical attitude, these people suspiciously turned on the computer and tried Assassin's Creed Revelations on the recommendation of the haggard employee.
"Come on, let's dismantle it!"
At this moment, the director of the game development department also came to the door of the department.
"How about it, is it the same as what I said? This is different from the previous Assassin's Creed... No, it should be said that it is different from all the games I have played before."
Several people took the initiative to explain their findings to their ministers.
Most of the people present immediately laughed together in embarrassment.
They actually went out to drink.
If a few of them hadn't really played the game seriously and shared their gaming experience with them in the morning, they wouldn't have known that Assassin's Creed was so different.
