Hero-of-Time Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Ezio is boring, but then so is everyone else in Assassin's Creed. Except Haytham and that guy who writes the codex entries. This game should star a Brit. He was awesome! Best thing about III for me. Hopefully his dad will be just as good. Yesterday, numerous leaks hinted at the game's existence and offered up a few extra details - that the game is set in 1715 and stars a pirate assassin named Edward Kenway - father of Haytham and grandfather of Connor from AC3.
Jimbob Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Bringing another Creed game onto the current gen consoles, i was thinking it would be a launch for the next gen. If they make it for the next-gen Xbox/PS4 then i may get it for that over the current gen. And pirates, now i can see why the Naval missions were in III. Loved them.
Cube Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 For a moment the website showed this. The game is out on the 29th October, and will also be out on "next gen" consoles.
Daft Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I wonder if they'll build it for next-gen and scale it down. I'll pick up my pirate on PS4, me thinks.
Serebii Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I wonder if they'll build it for next-gen and scale it down. I'll pick up my pirate on PS4, me thinks. The reports have said that it was built for the 360 then ported over to everything
Daft Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Laaaaaaaaaame. If anything could benefit from swish particle effects and volumetric fog it's a freaking stormy sea.
Nintendohnut Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Trailer leaked. Oops! Looks extremely next gen. Looks pretty awesome too. Looks like there MAY be underwater areas to explore, although I hope not. Thoughts?
Magnus Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Serebii posted the trailer in the other thread eight hours earlier, and nobody seemed to care then, either. I'm pretty tired of this constant stream of Assassin's Creed, too. I haven't even had a chance to play Liberation yet! ... And yet I know I'll buy this. Edit: I just noticed that the two threads have reversed icons. Edited March 3, 2013 by Magnus
ReZourceman Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I dislike AC, but that is a pretty cool trailer. Graphics were a bit good though? Wii U? PS4?
Serebii Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 That's just the CGI trailer. None of it is in-game. We had a similar one for AC3 last year, and one for ACR the year before
Cube Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Serebii posted the trailer in the other thread eight hours earlier, and nobody seemed to care then, either. It's not very exciting because it doesn't reveal anything new or show off any gameplay.
Serebii Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 For record, here's the ACIII CGI trailers And the ACR one Just for comparison
Tales Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Serebii posted the trailer in the other thread eight hours earlier, and nobody seemed to care then, either. I'm pretty tired of this constant stream of Assassin's Creed, too. I haven't even had a chance to play Liberation yet! ... And yet I know I'll buy this. Edit: I just noticed that the two threads have reversed icons. I care. I think it looks great. I just can't see it with sound at the moment. I'm not tired of the series and I know I'll buy the LE on day 1.
Serebii Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I think the inclusion of ocean travel makes it different enough to not be "tired". I too have it pre-ordered, for the Wii U, so will have it day one...though I'll probably be busy still Some screenshots appeared to have leaked, courtesy of NeoGAF Do note, the first ACIII screens were of higher quality than the game's graphics too Edward Kenway Introduction trailer
Daft Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I wish this series still involved a modicum of stealth. It's just turned into location porn. Considering those are bullshots, it definitely doesn't look next gen. I'll pick it up after giving ACIII a miss...because that game looked super uninspired. Edit: If anything deserved the 'this is killing gaming' branding it's this series. Edited March 3, 2013 by Daft
Nintendohnut Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 So in the WiiU version of this thread Seribi has posted some leaked screens that show off some of the gameplay elements, plus a shorts video about Edward Kenway, the main character. This is the problem with having two threads for the same game. It's silly!
Magnus Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 I think we should go all out and have three threads. One for the people who love Nintendo, one for the people who hate Nintendo, and one for people who think Nintendo is alright sometimes but makes some stupid decisions.
Daft Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-03-04-eight-studios-working-on-assassins-creed-4-black-flag Black Flag will be the first Assassin's Creed game developed for the next generation of consoles, although Ubisoft was coy on what to expect. "Visuals enhancements are the most obvious difference. We'll also be supporting the new PlayStation 4 controller," Myhill teased, hinting at a controller-specific feature. "We're going to be revealing all the details of that [in the future]. "The feature is built for the PlayStation 4 controller, but we're also looking at other controllers too." At an event in London last week, Ubisoft showed gameplay footage that looked current-gen in terms of graphics. "It's very early in development so that is the state of the game," Myhill explained. "It's not console-specific at this time. We're building on PC right now, but we do have it running on all platforms." Interesting. I wonder what the difference will be. With eight studios being employed to make this game there's hope that the high end version will be worthy of their machines.
Cube Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 After reading the Eurogamer article, I'm now really looking forward to this. An explorable ocean and jungle sounds amazing.
Daft Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Me too. Still wish it was a completely new franchise, though.
Jimbob Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Each detail i hear of this makes me want to play it more. Was talking to a few friends over the weekend, they seem very interested in it thats for sure.
flameboy Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Well having not seen the confirmation about this I was just buzzing when an advert popped up on tv! I really need to catch up. Still got to play Revelations even though most would say it could be avoided.... I love this series just they always got cheap fast.
ReZourceman Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 They just showed an advert for this on ITV1. Game out in eight months.
Daft Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Okay, now I care about this game. http://kotaku.com/5988894/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-is-supposed-to-combine-the-best-of-five-other-assassins-creeds "From AC I it was the open-ended set-up. We wanted to make sure we [bring back] this feeling of liberty that the player had when they had an assassination target and could decide, ‘Do I go stealth? Do I go sneaky? Do I go Rambo-style? Do I go across the roof and do air assassinations?' This kind of liberty feeling that you can do the missions the way you want—we want to make sure it's there in AC IV, too.
