Ubisoft has just released a new trailer of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
~ No one is out of reach for an Assassin pirate. Meet Edward Kenway the Assassin and his navigation, stealth and assassination skills.
Prototype footage from several of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed titles has leaked, revealing early stages of their development.
BY JASON MONROE: The very best pirate-themed video games that you should play instead of the disappointment that is Skull and Bones.
PoE: Deadfire, Unless you have a or PS5 or an SSD don't bother, loading times are insane. A minute and a half to go into a room to investigate a desk in an inn and then an additional 1 1/2 minutes to leave the room and then load to leave the inn???
And they never fixed it.
Ubisoft has just released Skull and Bones on PC and consoles. And, from the looks of it, the game wasn’t received well by some gamers. Not only that but it appears that Skull and Bones can be worse than Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, a game that came out a decade ago.
I wanted a Black Flag sequel so bad. It's still my favorite AC entry. The fact that they ignored everything that we loved about that game in this "spiritual successor" is making me enjoy watching this game crash and burn quite a bit. Either do it right or don't do it at all. (I understand the legal binding they got themselves into with the Singapore government to release this game at all costs)

11 years of development. Multiple restarts. All the while people have been saying they don't want some pirate game where you can't even get off your ship. 11 years of people telling Ubisoft all they want is a pirate game that's basically Black Flag without any of the assassin or animus stuff. Yet they still served up this trash that no one wanted, charged $70 for it, and had the balls to call it AAAA.
The Guillemot family honestly needs to be forced out of Ubisoft. They've doubled down on everything players don't like about their games, they want AI to create "rough drafts" of their stories rather than letting their writers do their jobs, and they literally do not give a shit what their playerbase actually wants. 5-6 years ago their stock was worth more than 4x what it's currently worth. The company is dying.
What has happened to developers? How can you possible make a worse looking game 11 years later? It’s honestly mind boggling.
Enough has been said about this game already. The gaming world shrugged when it was announced so many years ago, and instead of listening to all the criticisms from the community back then, Ubi just sailed on and kept making a game nobody really wanted. What a waste of money and effort.
Glad there seems to be a bigger focus on stealth, it has kind of lost that aspect in recent creed games. I can see this one being my favourite since AC2.
This trailer was VERY well done. Loved it. Can't wait to play this game on my PS4.
welllI don't see anything new on the stealth aspect of the game.
would love to have stealth mode for walking like fast crouching or something. for example in ac 3. it was hard to walk from one bush to the other without being noticed, because you had walk so slowly. And if you were going to run they would almost immediately spot you.
Or it would be nice to just stealth jump from one hidingspot to the other or stealthslide, stealthwalk -run, just naming examples over here.
And an other nice feature would be stealing guards or enemies chlothes and be infiltrating like your just one of them. Would sure make it so much easier to approach your target.
these are just ideas I just made up on the spot. I am pretty sure there are so many more stealth features they could implement in the game.
