blog 8：The story of Assassin's Creed (chapter one)
Background:
Assassin’s Creed is a famous ACT (Action-adventure) video game produced by
Ubisoft (one of the TOP3 game companies in the world). Although I use singular
to describe this game, in fact, “Assassin’s Creed” is the common name of a
series of games, which contains Assassin’s Creed I,
Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations
and Assassin’s Creed III( release on October 30, 2012). In order to show my
respect for this series of games, I will tell you a story that involves all the
plots in these games. Wishing you could enjoy it!
Desmond
Miles is the descendant of an assassin’s clan. This clan’s creed is to fight
against Knights Templar（圣殿骑士）, a dark group that wants to control this world. Because of Desmond’
special and unique status, since he was a naive child, he had had to receive a
series of cruel training. As Desmond grew up, he gradually became tired of such
a monotonous life, so, by coincidence, he escaped from this clan and changed
his name, deciding to lead a new life. However, a corporation called Abstergo
finally found his true identity and caught him. Why did this company do so? Actually,
Abstergo is a company controlled by Knights Templar. On the surface, this is a
pharmaceutical company. In reality, this company confidentially produces a kind
of machinery named “Animus”. “Animus” is a cutting-edge device that could let a
person experience his ancestral memories and records the experience. In this
way, the company could know what happened in the past. Of course, a person
could not return to his ancestors’ age, otherwise, if what he does is different
from his ancestor ever did, the history may be changed. What “Animus” does is
just using descendants’ DNA to stimulate a piece of ancestors’ memories, and
replays scenes experienced by his ancestors. Ok, let us come back to the business.
In the past, Knights Templar wanted to find sacred artifacts—“Pieces of Eden”(伊甸碎片). These
artifacts have immeasurable power that could easily control this world. However, Desmond’s ancestors collected these
artifacts before Knights Templar found them and hided them in the different
places of the world. In order to point out these places, Knights Templar invented
this machinery and try their best to find this clan’s descendant. Thus, after
catching Desmond, without any hesitation, the company put Desmond into a “Animus”,
First,
Desmond “came back” to the age of Crusade(十字军东征). The
corresponded ancestor called Altair. Then an exciting adventure began!

I learn many words in your blog. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have no interest in these computer games. I`m just wondering--who created these stories? And most of the stories are about combat-- a very dark world indeed. Do you think such games have a great impact on how people think and act these days? To me, these computer games are worse than any horror movie ever produced. But I must give credit to the authors of these games--it really takes a lot of imagination to create such stories.
ReplyDeleteDear tutor, I really appreciate your comment. To be honest, I understand your anxiety, since in the game, some scenes are indeed somewhat violent. What you said is quite similar with what my mother said. I know such ACT (action-adventure) games could cause side effects on adolescents. However, in this game, there also have some things that are educative. For example, this game’s background is based on authentic historical events. Thus, when I play this game, I could learn history as well. In addition, this game gives me a chance to touch with different cultures, because the styles of buildings, the clothes people worn and even the language are designed with distinct cultural features. By the way, when I came to Singapore, I did not bring any computer games. I played this game before I went to here.
