Report: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake Will Be More Than a Visual Upgrade, New Systems Mentioned

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake looks to be all but confirmed, with some first official details being shared online.

-Foxtrot165d ago

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.

VenomUK164d ago

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.

anast164d ago

They are doing this because they just have to reskin Odyssey. The first one would take an actual ground up effort.

RaidenBlack164d ago

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.

anast164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

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.

vTuro24163d ago

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.

Chard163d ago

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.

RaidenBlack164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Wish they remade ACII before Black Flag ... or even re-imagined AC1

RaidenBlack164d ago

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.

ReidoN7164d ago

I never put anywhere near enough into Black Flag when it first launched.

Looking forward to giving it another go when the remake launches.

blackblades164d ago

They milking the F outta this franchise

Profchaos164d ago

It's the only thing keeping the lights on at ubi well AC and siege ofcourse.
