During the release period of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, Mickford seemed to suddenly quiet down.

Perhaps they also realized that competing with a top-level work like Final Fantasy 7 is not worth the loss. Rather than trying to find a way to compete with Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core during this period of time, it is better to wait for his popularity to gradually decline before pursuing the victory.

But obviously Mickford's thinking is still too simple.

Since Zhu Youxing has planned to confront Mi Kefu head-on from the very beginning, the top masterpieces will never be interrupted.

And then players have already had their most anticipated works on sale.

At the end of 2008, some game works were released one after another, but none of them had as great influence as Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.

Then the time came to 2009.

And even in 2009, the popularity of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core has been maintained to a certain extent. This game is completely out of the circle, and even people who are not interested in video games are beginning to want to take the initiative to get in touch. .

But it's just contact, they just want to know the story of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, but they don't want to play the game.

That includes Davidson.

He usually prefers to read books, and what he likes are naturally moving or exciting stories.

So when Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core was released, he immediately went to the video site to watch the story flow of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core for free, and stopped paying attention with regret and satisfaction.

And now he has gradually developed a good impression of video games.

Lately he's also starting to spend more money on Candy Bliss.

However, this increase is only relative.

In the past, he would spend tens of cents for a perfect customs clearance, and it would be done at most a dozen dollars a week.

As for now, he is willing to pay twice as much per week for a perfect customs clearance, which is about thirty dollars.

Even so, it is still barely acceptable to the general spending power of Americans.

The monthly consumption is only more than one hundred dollars, which is much less money than going out for a drink or finding someone to play cards.

Moreover, the high ranking and high scores he obtained in the game will be shared with those around him.

His ranking is always at the forefront of those around him, which makes him very proud.

Because after becoming interested in video games, he also began to actively pay attention to some game-related news.

During this period, he also bought some stocks related to video game companies, and the income was not bad, which was just enough to offset his daily consumption of video games, almost equal to playing games for free.

This morning, he drove to the warehouse where he went to work as usual.

After completing the daily counting and confirmation work, he returned to his office and took out his mobile phone.

Usually he is more used to watching some social news and so on.

And now he has added a new category of news, which is news related to video games.

He kept flipping through his phone, looking at the latest news about the game.

After playing Candy Blast for so long, such a game can no longer satisfy him, and he slowly wants to try more new games.

There are Angry Birds, Tetris and other games in his mobile phone now, and it is quite good to play occasionally.

And just as he was checking the latest game news, a game news appeared in his line of sight.

The latest work supervised by the CEO of Youxing Electronic Entertainment: "Assassin's Creed" will be released soon. This will be a new exploration of game industrialization. In this game, you can experience the ancient history from the Crusades period. Experience that cruel and ruthless era in person, and have the opportunity to end those evil people in that era with your own hands, and give that era a peaceful and beautiful life.

Crusades?

Davidson is quite familiar with this term.

He was used to reading books in the past, and he covered a wide range of fields.

He has been in touch with religion, history, humanities, and technology.

Among them, he reads the most books related to history.

He may not have heard the saying that the East uses history as a guide, but he also has a similar idea in his heart, and he thinks that there are always some useful things to be learned from history.

The Crusades can be regarded as a story described in history.

It's just that there are quite few cultural works related to this period of history.

Because in the past, this era felt somewhat like the black history of Europe and America, and the history of other periods has more magnificent content. Compared with the Crusades, there are really no characteristics at all.

"Become an assassin who upholds justice, bravely fight against the enemy Templars, and smash all injustice to the ground."

It was this comment that most interested Davidson.

Then he saw that the game was overseen by the same Yusei Electronic Entertainment boss who had previously created Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core.

So in terms of storytelling, this Assassin's Creed should not be too worrying.

Out of curiosity, Davidson began to search the Internet for news related to Assassin's Creed.

It is not difficult to search for these news. Recently, Assassin's Creed is about to be released, which happens to be the time period with the most publicity.

Davidson easily found the promotional trailer for this game on the Internet.

Before that, he had never formally come into contact with this kind of pure console video game.

Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core is still on the cloud on the Internet, and he hasn’t played it at all. He sighed a bit about the game screen, but the original story background of Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core deviates too much from reality, and he didn’t take it too seriously. , just think the picture is good.

But when he clicked on the release notice of Assassin's Creed, he felt in a trance.

This is... a real person, right?

He was a little unsure.

In the trailer, the special effects deliberately made it slightly blurred, a bit like it was recorded by an old-fashioned camera.

This also greatly reduces some of the sense of disobedience in CG, as if it were a real person performing.

Of course, if they are a core game player, they can easily identify whether this is a CG animation of the game or a live performance, and there is still a little gap between them.

But for Davidson, he couldn't see it at all.

If it is a fictitious fantasy story, it is easy to identify, but this is a real historical story, which is almost fake.

In an empty square, a prisoner was pressed on the guillotine, and a soldier in armor was loudly announcing the crimes committed by this person.

On the top of a bell tower not far away, a man in white with a hood stood on it and watched all this quietly.

Then, with the ringing of the bell, the man in white disappeared instantly as the big clock continued to swing.

Then, there is the classic scene in Assassin's Creed 1CG.

The man in white easily wiped out those who blocked him in the crowd. Everything was so smooth and flowing. Finally, he came to the soldier who had just read out the crime, jumped high, and a retractable dagger popped out from his wrist. , and then stabbed it into the soldier's throat.

After all this was done, the man in white quietly disappeared into the crowd and left here.

Everything is so smooth and natural.

And everything is so cool!
