As the video content was released, it instantly sparked heated discussions among players.
A very important reason is that this video shows enough content.
However, there are also many things that confuse many players.
"Speaking of which, the game should be divided into two lines, right? In reality, it's that young man named Desmond, who uses that machine to go back to ancient times!"
"That's right, that's right, so players play as Desmond, and then through that machine, go back to various eras to experience those magnificent stories?"
"But the plot is a bit mysterious! I don't quite understand it. Is it a three-line narrative? Desmond's modern line, Ezio's ancient line, and the last assassin doesn't seem to be Ezio, right?"
"It's indeed not Ezio. Although you can't see his face, judging from his figure, he's still different from Ezio."
"That's right, it's not Ezio. The movements are different. Obviously, it doesn't use the same action system. I have to say, Boss Lucas is really detailed! If it were a normal game company, they would definitely use the same action model."
"Although you are praising him, I don't think Boss Lucas would like it."
"Stop talking! I don't know about the others, but all I know is that this assassin is just too cool, especially that Ezio, he's so cool he's exploding! Thousands of troops avoid his white robe! Five people just charged up, is this still an assassin!"
"It's not like he wasn't cool at the end, instantly blending into the crowd from the top of the clock tower, and then assassinating the target in broad daylight, before disappearing into the crowd!"
"To be fair, many assassins in history actually acted openly in public, look up Jing Ke."
"But I feel that Assassin's Creed isn't a true historical game, with golden apples and assassins."
"Isn't it normal for history to be made up? And this assassin named Ezio is so cool!"
After watching the video, many players had heated discussions.
But there were also some not small debates.
First of all, from the content, it is very obvious that they are in different times.
Besides the assassin's clothes still being so showy and cool.
Through the clothes of ordinary people, and the style of the buildings, we can get a glimpse.
Plus, there was already a promotional trailer about Animus before.
So most players can also make some guesses about the content.
That is that Desmond is experiencing the stories of assassin masters from different periods based on the information in his DNA.
So in the game's modern line, Desmond must be the main character, but in the ancient line, Ezio is definitely the main character, but it is unknown whether the white-clothed assassin who appears at the end is the main character.
At the same time, many players feel that the game's background should be a made-up background.
After all, with the golden apple and the assassins, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with real history.
This has made many players worry about whether Assassin's Creed can handle the historical aspect well.
The remaining area that players are focusing on discussing is the game's gameplay.
Although it wasn't directly shown, this promotional CG gave players a lot of imagination.
Because there are scenes of head-on combat in the game, as well as scenes of escaping thousands of miles after assassination, and scenes of fighting head-on with a group of followers.
At the same time, in terms of weapons, there are long swords, hidden blades, throwing knives, and axes that appear in the video, which can be said to have a sense of everything.
Of course, in addition to these, the most exciting thing for players is that the assassins in this game are just too damn cool.
Hooded windbreaker plus hidden blade, and cool assassination and parkour moves, this set of combos directly stunned many players.
Two words: super cool!
Coupled with a close-up shot in the promotional film, this coolness is shown to the extreme.
Even though the protagonist's face is not seen, this style alone is enough to excite players.
And this is also in line with the image of an assassin in players' minds.
After all, players will always think of something as better than it is.
Playing as a dirty and plain-looking beggar, spending half a year begging on the street to establish your identity, and then being wanted and looking embarrassed after completing the assassination.
How can this kind of realistic assassin be as cool as the one in the promotional CG?
Can the feeling of the assassin this brings to the player be the same?
Just looking at this promotional trailer, coupled with Nebula Games' consistent reputation, many players have already decided to buy it.
Even at this time, they have already imagined what their experience in the game will be like.
It's just too cool!
And this coolness that fills the player's brain, after slowly going through the evolution of time and the adjustment of emotions, begins to change again.
From 'Cool!' to 'Buy!'
From 'Super Cool!' to 'Buy Like Crazy!'
......
Along with the promotional video, players are discussing and enthusiastically debating on forums, Tieba, official blogs, and other community platforms.
The popularity of Assassin's Creed has suddenly risen.
And this CG released by Lucas highlights the other two characters in the game.
The first is Ezio, who founded the Brotherhood in his middle age, and the other is the master assassin Altair.
As for Desmond, he had already appeared in the first promotional video about the Animus, so Lucas didn't include him in this one.
As for the characters, Lucas revealed Ezio's name in the promotional video.
As for Altair, Lucas didn't reveal it.
This is mainly because in this trilogy developed by Lucas, Altair's role is mainly concentrated in the later parts.
Ezio's youth and middle age, the content about Altair will only be mentioned, but not in depth.
When the Revelation part comes, Ezio will enter his old age and follow in Altair's footsteps to Masyaf and Byzantium, and finally enter the library to see the corpse of this legendary assassin. At that time, the relevant DLC content about Altair will be opened, allowing players to understand the life of this legendary assassin mentor a hundred years ago.
As for the current CG, players can't understand it for the time being, and they don't understand what it is saying, and they don't know what the sentence 'Nothing is true, everything is permitted' means.
This is actually not important at all. After all, Lucas's purpose in making this CG animation is not to make players understand anything.
If players could understand what kind of story the game is telling just by relying on a CG animation, would his game still sell?
As long as this CG animation can make players feel super cool, and transform super cool into buy like crazy.
Then this CG animation has achieved its value and mission.
And judging from the relevant popularity of players discussing it online now, it is obviously very successful.
