In the latest Nintendo Rants episode, Shawn has an issue with Ubisoft’s handling of the Wii U and their CEO’s comments on the platform, along with Ubisoft as whole on other platforms. This is yet another can’t miss episode, especially for fans feeling slighted by Ubisoft’s microtransactions and general lack of respect for Nintendo platforms.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag voice actor Matt Ryan has hinted at the possibility of the game receiving a remake.
Love that we just keep replaying games. Next-gen comes along we’ll get Assassin’s Creed Remake REMAKE…
People say they like the old style AC games yet when they made one nobody bought it. I prefer the RPG style AC games better personally so I’ll Skip Black Flag. Never understood why it’s so highly regarded in the first place.
Love(d) AC 4. Been replaying it recently, actually. Idk what their price will be for this release, but I can't see spending anything close to full price for it. Maybe years from now when I feel like another playthrough.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake looks to be all but confirmed, with some first official details being shared online.
Black Flags is great and all but they really should have remade the first game.
Like I said Black Flags is a fantastic pirate game but it's where, for me anyway, it started to drift away from it's Assassin roots and felt like a new IP they were too scared to do without something attached. It's funny because they could have called this Skull and Bones back then or just "Black Flags and it would have done well enough to start a new IP for them. Sometimes I felt Black Flags was held back in some places because it was attached to AC lore, if it was a new IP it would have been fun to continue Edwards adventures in multiple games as he was a really good characters.
Altair's AC1 deserves more of a reimagining than a straight remake ... The game's got pacing issue and is comparatively barren especially since the parkour ability surprise has worn of.
I loved Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and so did many millions of other people. Ubisoft intentionally reduced the AC element so it was mostly a pirate game that had the broadest appeal.
Ubisoft should not have wasted time making the online Skull & Bones or this remake - it should’ve just made a new standalone single player pirate game that could become a franchise.
They are doing this because they just have to reskin Odyssey. The first one would take an actual ground up effort.
Odyssey? But that's totally different structure from the pre-Origins AC palette i.e of AC4 in this case.
That'd mean the AC4 Remake would be more akin to the RPG-ACs, which Black Flag was not and I'd definitely dont want that from the remake.
I am skeptical but am not totally dismissing the ^idea either, coz remakes like FF7 have totally reimagined the base game.
IF that's what they end up doing, then please Ubi, dont remake the other classical ACs. I want more of a modern graphics overhaul with some QoL changes, like the MGS Delta or RE4, than total reimagining.
They are going to repurpose Odyssey's water environments, islands, and a big part of the animations from the naval stuff.
I don't think they will do a FF7, it's not how they operate. But if they do, I'm with you. I would love to see those games too.
I had fun with the first game and I loved the setting, but holy shit was it repetitive. I'd be down for a remake but only if they seriously adress that part of the game.
I agree to the extent that I want a pirate game uninterrupted by periodic visits to the modern day. Hopefully the remake fixes that
I like Black Flag but I also liked Rogue too bad it's not a two for one deal.
Wish they remade ACII before Black Flag ... or even re-imagined AC1
ACII >>> AC4. ~ Its the best 'AC' game. Black Flag was a good pirate game, Odyssey is a good mythological RPG game. But are not better 'AC' game.
I never put anywhere near enough into Black Flag when it first launched.
Looking forward to giving it another go when the remake launches.
Ubisoft has added Steam achievements to several of its titles, including games in the Ghost Recon and Assassin's Creed series.
Nintendo should have banned these 3rd party companies making any games for the wii u and 3ds unless they support it 100%.
Their aren't nearly enough Nintendo diehards to effect Ubisoft sales in a major manor. That's why they aren't gonna make their major games for Wii U get it?
Ubisoft was most probably the kindest 3rd party company to even give a damn about the WiiU ...not buying their games will make the situation even worse
That's... a lame pun in the title.
* 3rd Party Dev's blame Wii U & Nintendo because it's the easy thing to do. They are lazy.
* They want everything all set up for them perfect, so they can THEN reap the benefits, but they don't want to have to be one of the first on the " front line".
They want the "war" to already be won, so they don't have any resistance once their game releases.
Weird analogy but, but kind of fits.
It's like 3rd party dev's don't understand the REAL reason their games aren't selling on Wii U, is because they don't exist on the Wii U.
It would be like asking ONLY SONY to carry the PS4, and then 2 years later THEN we will make games for it.
It's pathetic really and most likely a decision made by a "money guy", who knows nothing of actual gaming.
* Pro controller is legit, so is the gamepad, it just needs more games to play, and Nintendo can't make all of them.
They are already responsible for all the 9/10 games on there + Super Smash & Captain Toad & Legend of Zelda & Fire Emblem on the way.
Not sure what 3rd Party dev's can use as an excuse now.
We are on to your shady RUSE Dev's. YOU guys need to be the ones earning our respect.
Don't act like you are entitled to our money and sales.
