A man who propped up Ubisoft's FPS game-Tom Clancy

2019 Spring Festival of the Pig, the distant European game manufacturer Ubisoft also launched the "Golden Pig Spring Festival Special" event. Large discounts are offered to a large number of its games, and the discounts are even the same on Black Friday, and even some games have reached historically low prices (the lowest prices in history).

Because of the unexpected interruption caused by Ubisoft’s Tudou server, it is really not very friendly to the experience of domestic players. However, with the establishment of Ubisoft China, network problems will be resolved sooner or later. , The most important core of a game is the value of a game.

What I want to talk about today is the author who almost took over the Ubisoft FPS universe, Tom Clancy. In 2008, Tom Clancy permanently authorized the naming rights of military works to Ubisoft, and Ubisoft also developed a series of military-themed games. These games have many names, but there is always one in the corner of the poster. The man with the gun is followed by "Tom Clancy's". For players who have less exposure to Ubisoft shooting games, the first time they see the words Tom Clancy may be quite confusing. What does this mean? Is

"family"? Yes, it can be understood like this!

Tom Clancy was born in the United States in 1947. He created nearly 80 military-themed novels and other non-fiction military-themed works throughout his life. He enjoyed a high reputation in the United States in the 1980s. The United States is a young country established and grown in war. Compared with our country, of course, it has a few thousand years of civilization heritage. So in a sense, Tom Clancy’s military novels are similar to Jin Yong’s ancient dragon and Liang Hanyu. The status of Wen Rui'an's martial arts novels is at least in the minds of readers.

Maybe in a few years, there will be a big game factory contracting Liu Cixin’s sci-fi universe to develop a series of video games adapted from Da Liu’s works. In the future, game players can wander the earth or fight against three on more advanced devices. Physical civilization. The greatest hero of these future visions is the original author who provided imagination beyond time.

If Tom Clancy is the quality assurance of Ubisoft's FPS game core, then the "Night Water Cold" and "Nine Yin Zhenjing" titled by our Oriental martial arts online games are also a strong quality endorsement.

Tom Clancy died of illness when he was 66 years old, that year was 2013. The "New York Times" commented that 's military-themed novels made with adrenaline as raw materials made him one of the world's most well-known and best-selling writers. made the whole world know Tom Clancy once in 2001, when the terrorists drove a plane into the World Trade Center in New York in the September 11th incident. It was exactly the same as in his 1996 novel "Presidential Order", the terrorist piloted The Boeing 747 passenger plane suicide attack on Capitol Hill, which is very consistent. There was even a popular saying in the United States that the terrorists were based on Tom Clancy’s novels.

In the 1990s, Tom Clancy was one of the first writers to print 2 million copies, and another was J.K. Rowling. (Note: The number of first prints in the publishing industry depends on their popularity. The first print of 500,000 copies by well-known writers is already a big deal, and the current reading habits are also affected.)

In the 1980s, Tom Clancy, an insurance salesman Started to write his first novel "Hunting the "Red October". This book was sold to the publishing house for $5,000. Clancy thought it would be great to sell 5,000 copies, but sold 45,000 copies. After the publication, the president boasted that the final sales reachedWith 30w hardcover plus 200w paperback, the debut of is the pinnacle of .

In 1947, Clancy was born in an ordinary family in the United States. In the following decades, there have been various military operations. However, because of myopia, Clancy could not really enter the barracks, but he led countless people with words. Close to the war, close to those ordinary people who have no chance to contact, but there are real tit-for-tat and tense rivalries.

A few thousand words can’t fully reproduce a great author, but games can make up for cultural differences. Video games can amplify the highlights of Clancy’s original work. Gamers who have not read the original can also feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. Perhaps this is the multi-dimensional extension of video games to the work. When the hardware develops to achieve a realistic virtual reality experience in the future, it is these original literary works that can bring more inspiration and imagination.

Speaking of literary works, Chinese literature is nothing but fascinating!
