#. | Our impressions of new video games (part three)

We Continue to tell you about the new video games which we managed to see at the recent exhibition "IgroMir 2017". Today we will talk about the new first-person shooter Call of Duty: WWII publishers Activision, about the Japanese role-playing game Monster Hunter: World, and the continuation of the legendary series publisher Ubisoft — Assassin’s Creed: Origins.

Call of Duty: WWII

"IgroMir 2017" the game Call of Duty: WWII was present in the form of a competitive demo, in which two teams of six players compete with each other. As you have already understood from the name of the game, the abbreviation WWII means that the developers decided to abandon further development of the series in the future direction and turned back to a rich past. World war II is often the basis for first-person shooters, so it is no wonder that Call of Duty returned to her after many experiments.

The Mechanics of the multiplayer of the game feels very familiar. Unlikely players anything surprised. Proven over the years, the gameplay will definitely attract shooter Activision tens of millions of players. In this there is no doubt. The series consistently shows excellent results, despite the fact that almost every year a new game. Some call it a pipeline, but whatever it was – "people hawala" and asks supplements. The secret here is simple: the game offers players a truly high-quality and diverse content. Take a wonderful bonus zombie mode, for each game unique.

I Confess that I am not the greatest player in network shooters, so in the demo version of the game has killed me quite often. Opponents fairly quickly came together and began to be very organized, despite the fact that none of those present were not familiar with each other. Some gave loud commands to the people on your team, suggesting which side comes the enemy and how best to stand up to him. Amazing atmosphere, when multiple players without realizing it until the end, together under the authority of a born commander.

Not without technical difficulties. In the demo there was something wrong with the sound. I and a few other players heard a constant crackling in the headphones and sometimes the sound just disappeared and appeared. Because of this, it was quite difficult to focus on the game, people are constantly distracted, did not hear the creeping enemies and died. But it will charge on the early build of the game or a problem with the equipment. The game comes out very soon – November 3, 2017. We will try to write you a detailed review as soon as it goes on sale.

Monster Hunter: World

Franchise Monster Hunter is very popular in the West and in Japan. When it appeared on PlayStation 2, then moved to the portable PSP, and then moved to the Nintendo console. But time flows, everything changes, and here is a new game with the subtitle World will be released in early 2018 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. We were able to try out the game in action and even to interview a public relations Manager publisher Bandai Namco, which we will publish later.

The Word World means not only that the game for the first time in history, will go on sale simultaneously in all regions: Europe, USA, Japan and Australia — but also the fact that the game no longer has loading screens. In other words, the game world is now seamless and loaded on the fly. This is a great innovation for the series, as before the player traveled between tiny locations, which is long enough loaded. Now: go and no you LOADING the sinister on a black background.

The Game has become significantly more beautiful after moving the series to the modern gaming console and productive PC with portation Nintendo. Textures, animations, monsters and hunters, swirl of special effects, stunning scenery – it all looks great! A lot has pleased me is the fact that the game will return of my favorite seals the palika, performing the role of personal assistants the player's character. These cats are not only a kind of squire, but now know how to saddle small monsters and use them as a transport to move long distances.

Monsters, as always, gorgeous! Battle with each of them requires the player many hours of training, choosing the right weapons, armor, and accessories, choosing the right tactics. But just before the battle, the monster will need to track down. And help the players in the magical glow-flies-sniffing dogs, which he always carries with him. They can detect in the air the smell of monsters, find on earth the prints of their paws and bring the protagonist straight to its prey. The rest is still the same old Monster Hunter only better in all respects. The game comes out January 26, 2018 and, importantly, is likely to be supplied with Russian subtitles (infa not 100%).

Assassin’s Creed: Origins

With a series of games Assassin’s Creed, the situation is about the same as with games Call of Duty series. We get about the same thing, but with a new story and a different time setting. This time the leitmotif of the game was Ancient Egypt. The main character is medjai named Bayek, which fate has prepared to become the first in the history of the secret assassin of the brotherhood. It it is built around a plot outline that leads the player through a story full of twists and turns.

Visually, the game looks good. But it is difficult to judge. What we showed in the demo is only a tiny piece of the final product. To judge the final game after its release, which will take place on October 27. Of nice new features in the game I remember the opportunity to explore the area through the eyes of an eagle by the name of Paris. It can search for the main character, different items, a key location to location and so on. Anyway, to look from height of bird's flight – a real pleasure.

I managed to make just one storyline mission in which I saved from the cruel punishment of a slave, which robbers took away two gold statues. I had to swim in the waters of the Nile, where I almost bit off the legs first, the crocodile, and then (!!!) Hippo. That was a surprise, I tell you, when out of the water emerges a giant Hulk with huge teeth and tries to bite you in half. The characteristics of the local fauna. Apparently, in the final game we will be able to tame some animals and use them to fight on our side.

The Battle system has changed and there is a completely new way. It's hard to describe in words, so just wait for release and try it out for yourself. But I have to say: the combat system seemed to me more convenient than in previous games in the series. The game will also be back fighting on ships, the seabed and even a chance to plunder the tombs. Isn't that enough to be enjoyed Origins for a few nights? I believe that the game will be interesting to all without exception fans of the series.

Below you can see the previous two editions of the materials in this series:
