PAX East 2013: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag set to explore some uncharted territory

"Ubisoft steers Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag towards a slightly new direction by emphasizing exploration. Also, pirates. We go eyes-on with a good, long look at the game.

If it’s one thing the Assassin’s Creed franchise has done well, it’s secretly force-feeding us history lessons. The historical context, colorful characters, and exploration associated with pirates has some of our attention."

Yes... "US history lessons..."

Not US, us as in "us", as in all of us. ;)

I just finshed reading AC forsaken and it's really good. It gives you information about the final days of the lead guy of black flags. It does a nice job of filling in the blanks of AC3 as well. If your a fan of AC i'd read it.

I buy day one Black Flag for next-gen.
