Assassins Creed

Outside Art lecture!

            I went to listen to a speaker speak about Assassins Creed and how they go about creating the game, unfortunately they stayed away from the creation of the graphics because it was a history professor discussing the game. Anyways, I learned some interesting information about this game and definitely have a lot more respect for the creation of it.

            Apparently they use historical background in the creation of the characters and battlegrounds, which is really neat. Since they didn’t discuss too much about the art ill just name some interesting facts about the creation of the game. They had this rule called “10 second rule” where the creators of the game had 10 seconds to search Google and whatever historical facts they found they felt they should put it in the game. Another thing we talked about was whether or not George Washington had a British or American accent in real life because in the game he was given an American one, but apparently some people think that it depended on whom he was with. He tended to use a British accent to impress important people.

            He was really secretive about a lot of things, which is understandable, but a little disappointing. All in all the graphics of a few clips they showed where so realistic that it was a bit scary. After learning about animation in class and realizing the level of difficulty I respect the art so much more, even if I don’t completely enjoy participating in those types of video games.
