Never played the original. Glad to see they got rid of the immersion breaking white highlights around NPCs.

Read rumors before that they cut the modern day segments from the game, do we know if that has been confirmed or not? I know I sure wouldn’t miss them.

I’ll vote with my wallet by buying so Ubi knows this is what I want going forward.

Looks fantastic!

Why there is absolutely zero blood effects?

Something about the character models seems…off, somehow. It’s like they applied that weird AI filter to some of them.
Looks good overall, though. The combat seems like a happy medium between the classic and modern games.

I mean, this actually looks awesome. Much better than what those leaks showed off.
Not including (or remaking) Freedom Cry and the Aveline missions for this version is a mistake tho. And obviously, no multiplayer is sad, though not unexpected.

Yup, looks like AC4.

Looks fantastic. Can’t wait

I look forward to picking it up when it’s £20 or less. Thank you Ubi for setting that expectation 😂

I love everything I see in the trailer, especially the cat. It’s still a work in progress but I wish they will add some weight to the characters. During the combat and parkour parts, it feels like Edward is sliding around a bit without any force of gravity.

This looks good. hope Ubisoft nails it and “return to form” in their other IPs as well.

Never played the original black flag. This might actually get me back into the AC franchise! I didn’t really enjoy Odyssey or Valhalla which were the last AC games I played since 3

So fucking glad there is no garbage multiplayer to drag it down.
Yes, I know you played it back in the day and had fun. It has no place anymore, and that shit is just a burden.

AC4 is my favorite game in the series and this looks gorgeous, but I can’t really justify spending $60 on this. Maybe if they revamped the gameplay, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case.

looks great !! now do ezio trilogy..

Guess I will have to wait for real gameplay footage but I’m not seeing much of an improvement while I can currently play my PS4 disc on my PS5 that would make this worthwhile… especially on character models

I’ve played almost all the Assassin’s Creed games and Black Flag is the only one I truly, truly love and think is an all time great game. It just works on nearly every level. The setting is magnificent, the different activities, the naval combat. The best writing and acting and music in the series. It’s just an incredibly special game to me. I thought I was basically done with the series after being sort of meh on Mirage and Shadows but this brings a tear to my eye.

I may have preordered the Collector’s Edition. Credit card was out. Decisions were made. Wife can…find out later.

I barely touched AC games.
Watching that trailer makes me question if every AC game after 4 was a downgrade, because holy hell

I like that they didn’t change the combat to be more like the newer games with Health Bars and all that annoying stuff. Instead it seems to be a revamped version of the original game, keeping the core mechanics intact.
With the old AC games the combat was never great to begin with, and one could argue it was too easy. Yet that was also kind of the point. You were an assassin who was an expert at killing people in hand to hand combat. So for me at least it worked and made you feel like a badass. Once they started doing all that other stuff from Origins on, they completely lost me.

Did love this AC but I’m not really into replaying games again. Hopefully they’ve done enough to make it feel fresh and fun to play again

Are all these people saying this looks great just Ubibots? It’s a cinematic trailer for a game released like 15 years ago…

time to raise that black flag again and sing once more! 🏴☠️

Only thing I didn’t care for in the game was the eavesdrop missions, outside that, great game
Rogue_Leader_X on
The best AC title bar none!!!
Plus, it’s even been improved. What a great release and a great time for it. July is usually a dead month for games, so this is welcome.
Nincompoop6969 on
Thank god I only played the very beginning and gave up. Now I can experience a better version with probably a trimming down of those tailing missions.
Hope they bring back the level rating feature though.

That’s my favorite AC
It does look very good.
