In recent weeks, I’ve found myself being asked the same question a lot of people lately. “Are you getting an Xbox One or PS4?” When you work with video games as a profession it’s a pretty difficult question to avoid. It is with some disdain that I honestly answer “Neither” each time I’m asked.
Steam page update reveals new technical features for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, hinting at a possible remake.
Fingers crossed, does seem like it's almost guaranteed, just wish they'd announce it already, seems like we've been hearing about it forever, I just want be some black flag! 😂
I'll only pick it up if Ubisoft gets rid of the internet requirement to install a physical disc. Release the game complete
This seems to be referring to updates to the current steam version. If a remake does get announced it will absolutely be sold separately
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag voice actor Matt Ryan has hinted at the possibility of the game receiving a remake.
Love that we just keep replaying games. Next-gen comes along we’ll get Assassin’s Creed Remake REMAKE…
These days, it's mostly remake and remasters. The only people that make new games are Indie and the Chinese games companies.
People say they like the old style AC games yet when they made one nobody bought it. I prefer the RPG style AC games better personally so I’ll Skip Black Flag. Never understood why it’s so highly regarded in the first place.
Love(d) AC 4. Been replaying it recently, actually. Idk what their price will be for this release, but I can't see spending anything close to full price for it. Maybe years from now when I feel like another playthrough.
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.
I agree with how lots of titles are yearly regulars but have very little different features to warrant a completely new title which is usually priced at a full price.
Haha. Sequelitis. Love that. On topic: Yes it will and that's because of the publishers, not developers.
Given a chance, developers would have already lead this industry to new heights of creativity, but these bloodsuckers such as EA and Activision only see the almighty dollar and nothing else, hence, gen 8 will suffer sequelitis like the generation before it.
Yes, they will suffer from it because AAA publishers will never stop being too greedy.
Sadly we'll probably see CoD 52 this gen.
It'd be nice if publishers would make more new IP, but they're too scared that they'll lose money.
It's a new generation and we are already seeing some amazing new IPs from all publishers; EA, Ubisoft, Microsoft, Sony, Activision, etc: Games like Destiny, Quantum Break, Titanfall, Order 1886, Rime, The Division, The Crew, Watch Dogs, Star Citizen, etc and more, not to mention we're going to see Indie developers shine this generation, just look at No Man's Sky. There will be plenty of new IPs this generation.
But this doesn't mean we don't want sequels, I for one would love a Last of Us 2, Halo 5 and Zelda U, but a balance of the two would be great throughout this generation.
