Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag

The fourth game has been confirmed as a pirate themed one, more revealed on the 4th march so far there is a poster/picture of the character, no idea of the name but here's hoping he is not as stable and boring as Conner and the game is not as bad as 3.

thought could imagine maybe something like fighting Blackbeard and the flying Dutchman ship making an appearance.





thoughts?

Eh, would've preferred something like Ancient Greece or Egypt

Though there has been good potential in pirate games, so I'll hold my breath

i would say its to early for a new AC game basically becoming COD.

would prefer one in present day and hoping for an actually decent ending this time though Pirates seem cool though hope the guy is not anything like stable and boring Connor or related to him name wise laugh out loud.

Most overrated series in history. Boring.

Well you're entitled to an opinion, even if it is the wrong one.

The aforementioned COD series takes that by a mile. 2 was the last good one.

Present day would be pretty terrible unless guns no longer exist.

How do you know I wasn't referring to COD?

You are correct, I don't.

I mean present day as in the future.

agree COD is just boring.

Yeah not sure what you're going for there bull

Part of the intruige behind AC games is the morphin of history

why are you face palming?

in the AC universe it would be present day , to us it would be the future
could still do with history of the ones before etc

Because you didn't make that obvious in the slightest Bull. The original statement makes no sense

I received Assassins Creed III as a Christmas gift after casually mentioning that the concept looked interesting when an advert came on the tv (I'm a bit of a history nerd), after never playing the earlier games. Must say I've been pretty underwhelmed so far, seems repetitive and the close combat fighting poor unless I'm doing something significantly wrong. Only got about 4 levels in before I moved onto another game.

Pirates seem an interesting concept but the second level on III was based on a ship and it didn't particularly inspire. Unless seriously recommended by another gamer I think I will give this series a miss in the future.

3 wasn't particularly great. AC2.2 was really good though tbf

AC2 and Brotherhood where good tbh would say play them instead 3 as 3 was meh

i hope this new guy is not even related to Connor (Boring and stale)

Don't listen they are essentially all the same. Repetitive

I've played all of them and really enjoyed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations. Went into Game today and had a look at 3 and thought meh. It looks all the same. Each game has offered something different to the last but 3 just doesn't appeal to me. Hope 4 does something to make me consider buying it.

we get it you dont like it your entitled to that but no need to keep repeating your self.


yeah MJ i get what you mean 3 was meh and was the first game i preordered too =(

To be fair Bull you've repeated about your hatred of connor in 3 of your posts alone, we get it you dont like him your entitled to that but no need to keep repeating your self haha.....I jest

I appear to be in the minority as I actually didn't mind 3, I thought the gameplay (although sometimes a bit glitchy) was far smoother than previous ACs, and although the character wasn't as great as Ezio, I was hooked in the story all the same

yes but unlike he's which is its just repetitive, i have many reasons for my hatred of Connor

3 was not that good if I was scoring out of ten it would be a 4, I felt no wrench completing it, some games I will drag out for a bit cause I've enjoyed them.

The best bit for me was the naval combat , once you get going on those missions I had a pretty good time.

The rest of it, the horseriding was pretty terrible, the stealth elements were almost nonexistent, the crafting / trading elements were pointless. Combat pretty easy.

Just read that back maybe not a 4!

I enjoyed 3, just not as much as the others.

I don't think the setting helped it, neither city felt as alive as Rome or the place in 2.III I've forgot the name of. The enemies were pretty useless and repetitive, given everyone used guns. And it was too short.

I enjoyed the naval missions which surely take on a bigger role in a pirate setting. I think there were plenty of good ideas in 3, execution just wasn't up to par.

I'd like to see the homestead replaced with a pirate island

Which game do you mean by 2.III? might be able to guess the city

i enjoyed 3, but i think the Naval missons was the best part though did like the animals being more involved, there where glitches etc and the homested was just no needed should of done it like in Brotherhood with the whole city kinda thing, they enemies sucked heck the Haythem battle needed a better conclusion then it had and well the ending..

2.iii might be Revelations which will be Constantinople

Or Istanbul or Byzantium

indeed was great there tbh compared to NY/Boston

Aye they felt more alive than either of the two in 3. The wilds were just poorly done imo.

Thought you may be interested in the trailer:

Spoiler:

Yeah I saw it earlier. Was hoping for more concrete detail really

yeah saw it too, looks like blackbeard is in from the trailer he looks like a better characther then Conner this "edward" but then again the AC3 trailer was misleading

So excited for this!

"Assassins Creed: Rising Phoenix" has also been leaked.

could be the name of the movie in development or a Vita or maybe another game laugh out loud or a animated film.

Probably a handheld game

So when does this come out then?

Got this yesterday, visually it's fantastic. Gameplay is as good as ever, love taken on other pirates and sinking their ships
