Assassin’s Creed Shadows needs its brightness cranked up

The killer’s profession shadow Japan Sarka occurs in 1579, known as Seanuko Period near the end – 300 years before the arrival of the Tapidated Light Bulb. So it stands because once the sun sets, the world that is living in the world’s co -professionals, Nau and Yasuka Dark.

Now, I usually do not happen to anyone that the makers of the Asyan profession withdraw their devotion from the concept of historical accuracy. This is one of my favorite elements of the franchise – and that’s why I will strictly recommend playing The killer’s profession shadow In a deep state.

But sometimes, historical accuracy should take a backback set of play eligibility.

In addition to Katasin already, the opening The killer’s profession shadow – Introduction to both Yasu and Nao – is completely at night. In the case of the former character, the sequence makes a wonderful scene as the fighter Oda Nobonga takes the Ega province to the ground. Yasoka’s face is widely illuminated by configuration because he recognizes Nobonga that the scale of casualties in this war gives some pause.

The point of view soon moves towards Naoe, which has to launch an important mission because his father is unwanted: recovering a sample from a cofu or tomb. It was at the same place that I started thinking whether I needed to change the picture settings in the game or on my computer monitor, because as Novo, I can hardly see who I am fighting or where I am going. Certainly, there is a moon at night, but its yellow brightness is often spread through clouds, if not vague.

It is likely that the developers intended. Well, it’s not that they wanted the players to have difficulty seeing what they were doing, but the purpose of the lighting design was to make Noooo’s role – that it is a shinobi that is perfect for sticking to the shadow. In the darkness of the dark, I crawled with a long grass and jumped to kill soldiers in Nobonga’s invading force.

But until the moon looked completely high in the night sky, it didn’t seem that it provides more light for me, even playing in HDR. The first time the game teaches you control for Parkor, I jumped because I couldn’t see the pillar in the middle of the space that Noo was trying to cross. Top, you can see a two (no) screenshots of nine at night I caught while playing – I’m sure his horse could see better than humans in the dark!

You are thinking, It is the same Should Become. Nevertheless, it was a time in Japanese history when the human -made light in existence included the lantern that was bright with the oil burning flames (not yet candles!). And maker The killer’s profession shadow Even here a bit of historical concessions worked: technically, paper lantern that you see everywhere in the game, Andon Andon AndonFor, for, for,. Did not enter widespread use until the EDO periodWhich began at the beginning of the 1600s.

Of course, I’m not suggesting that The killer’s profession shadow‘The version of the feudal Japan should have been illuminated by clay oil lamps or LED spotlights. But this is a place where the direction of art can make a lot of difference. Consider the Soccer Punch Production ‘ Sushma’s pastIn the first period of Japanese history, the Kamakura era, when the Mongols first invaded the country at the end of the 13th century.

The classic Japanese cinema is being affected like the works of Akira Crosawa. Sushma’s past This made the idea of ​​Samurai alive because it is in popular imagination (whether it is mostly a fiction). Like The killer’s profession shadowIn this game, there is a whole round of night, but the moon can also be a great flood light in the sky. Even when Thunder with thunder sparkle at night.The atmosphere is not dark.

Again, if developers The killer’s profession shadow Here made a deliberately creative decision – if they wanted players to wander in the dark and experience Shinobi fantasy – then I respect them, will we say, vision. The filmmakers behind him are notoriously dark Sports games The incident was certainly trapped by their guns when it was only a matter of shooting of scenes of bright war by firelight, and they did not worry about the audience’s complaints. But the developers of the game are struggling for a variety of real life accuracy, often giving in concessions for play eligibility and entertainment. Just think about the “realism” of jumping into the grass bale with 10 stories. For me, I’m approaching my 40s, and my eyes are not as good as it did, so I’m just going to change the shine.
