A few months ago, " Elden's Ring " was released and quickly became the most popular work on the Internet. Players, media, and game critics have discussed this game for a long time. One of the game producers believes that the UI of "Elden's Ring" is too simple and does not guide players well enough.
But this evaluation soon attracted opponents. When the other party learned that the game producer had worked at Ubisoft , they made a spoof of "Let Ubisoft make "Elden's Ring"" picture.
The picture is based on the game screen of "Elden's Ring", but it is full of Ubisoft-style UI settings. The meme quickly aroused the resonance of other netizens, which somewhat expresses everyone's attitude towards complex UI content.
After four months, the popularity of "Elden's Ring" has gradually decreased, but recently, the discussion of this meme on the Internet has unexpectedly become more intense. The reason is because last week Ubisoft released a live demonstration video for the new game " Black Sails ". The pictures and the memes have "the same purpose but the same purpose".
The health bar in the upper left corner is not clear enough, the enemy logo on the screen is not eye-catching enough, the task prompts are not detailed enough, and the benefits and experience gained are not specific enough... This kind of UI design is very characteristic of Ubisoft. , which led to complaints from players:
As a major international game company, it is not good news for Ubisoft to be "seen through" so easily.
The development process of "Blue Sea and Black Sails" lasted for 9 years, and was inspired by the naval battle gameplay of "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag". Players have heard news of the project's "development chaos" many times over the past nine years, but this year the game finally has a release date. The live demonstration mentioned earlier is the reassurance that Ubisoft wants to give players.
It must be admitted that the picture quality of "Black Sails" is much improved compared to "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag" many years ago, but the two are too similar in many aspects, which has also caused dissatisfaction among players. So much so that someone made a comparison video to show how similar the two games are.
Regarding the new game "Blue Sea and Black Sails", players actually have contradictory ideas. On the one hand, people who like naval battles have high expectations for this work that expands the naval battle gameplay of "Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag"; on the other hand, players do not want the new game to be too similar to the old game.
With the release of the actual demo video of "Blue Sea and Black Sails", players not only complained about the game UI design, but also began to explore whether this is a PVE game or a PVP game? How big is the map? Is there a high degree of freedom? and other gameplay-related issues.
The answers to these questions may only be revealed after "Blue Sea and Black Sails" is officially released.
