GameDynamo - "Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is the first game in the series to offer a new type of side quest called Templar Hunts. There are four of these special assassination missions total, and each one will get you some rewards. In addition to a small amount of Reales, each successful hunt grants you a piece to unlock the Templar Armor, which gives Edward the ability to take 25% less damage.
To get started, you’ll need to have acquired the Great Inagua hideout. Once you have this, you can find the starting point for each hunt to get the information needed to complete these side missions. Ready to hunt some Templars? Use our guide if you need help."
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.
EXCLUSIVE - New details on the Assassin's Creed franchise, including a surprise detail that the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake.
This game is too new to receive a remake. Its also playable on current Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Assassin's Creed needs a break, not another release, come up with something new, and different, without grinding.
This was their last good game and everything else they’ve churned out is just garbage. It makes sense but it shows how desperate they are.
What about mirage. Heard it went back to its roots...although the combat was a bit wonky
There hasnt been a AC game in 4 years, Valhalla came out in 2020. As much as im not a fan of Ubi they kinda did do what people asked in this case and give the franchise a break.
7th gen games still look good and black flag is the best looking one. They better should had remastered first game
Shezgear already corrected you, Mirage came out after Valhalla. There's such a flood of AC releases that its hard to keep track of them.
Either way, BF doesn't need a remake yet. The first game needs it more, but I'd rather have a cell-shaded Prince of Persia 2008 sequel. Unfortunately we'll never see another entry like that.
@chocoburger yeah but why wont we see a sequel to that prince of Persian game which I for one thought was excellent. Because the game failed and didn't sell well. So who's fault is it that we won't see a sequel? Gamers that didn't buy it. Why do they make so many assassin's creed games? Because they all sell well.
Ubisoft doesnt believe in breaks or a thoroughly crafted game on the level of red dead 2, last of us, ghost of tsushima and the sequel of that lmao. They release small ass updates that tweak fix instead of actually supporting to release a fat update like cyberpunk 2.0 smh its ubi fault they're in bullshhi, I still think they'll be aite. Still alot of damage done tho
It was a cross gen launch. I only ever played it on my launch PS4. Black Flag is my favorite AC game, but it doesn’t need a remake. The PS4 version still holds up with respect to graphics and gameplay. Would prefer a fresh experience that isn’t tied to a tired franchise.
Black Flag is a great game, but gaming needs to move forward with new ideas, mechanics, gameplay, etc. These types of remakes are partly the reason why Gen 9 feels lackluster when compared to previous generational leaps.
Popsicle said everything I was going to say. Its too new for a remake. Play it right now on PC / PS4 / PS5 / XBO / XBSS.
There are others games that could use a remake, or simply a brand new (not AC) game.
well ... old school AC fans do, after seeing what Ubi ballooned the franchise into ...
but I'd have accepted more if they picked AC2 instead...
Hopefully they remake the gameplay as well, even at the time it was one of the most boring game I've ever played. AC2 was far superior.
no thank you. I couldn't care less for any new Ubisoft game right now. And it's not like that game needs a remake anyways
there was a playstation 4 version too of it tho no?
the point stands tho.
it doesn't stand. it was a PS3 game that had a port with a small visual bump. If you wanna make a point make it something else.
