[Plasma]

The boarding is just a cutscene, this just seems like a really streamlined version of AC4 naval combat in MP.

 

[Rellik]

Too much ramming

Just like Black Flag lol

 

[Wagram]

They took a year off from AC and decided to recoup the lost revenue with a game that is straight up ripped assets from AC.

 

[DangerMouse]

Wish you could really board and do a little fighting, even if it were simplistic.

This game needs a fully well done Single player

This.

 

[Theoris]

Looks great, although I can't shake the feeling it'll have For Honor levels of long term support.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

This looks exactly like AC4. Not that that's a bad thing, mind, but still.

EDIT: No single player? :/

Also, are they using the same vocal assets from AC4??

 

[Merc_]

I expect a downgrade or two before this comes out.

 

[PulseONE]

I like the water physics

 

[Wanderer5]

Is it just naval combat?

 

[Beartruck]

Was hoping for more of a pirate MMO. Not this...pvp match game.

Where's my pirate game with trade routes and a persistent world.

Its SP, but play uncharted waters: new horizons and pick the redhead.

 

[Pachimari]

Looks underwhelming, in the sense that this is just gonna be a pvp multiplayer game. This is not for me but I'm glad for the ones excited about it.

 

[Einchy]

They said you could play solo though?

Yeah, that's what they always say.

Expect some thrown together missions that are just the MP but with NPCs instead of players.

 

[Malyse]

already looks better than Sea of Thieves.

Spoiler

I kid

But it fucking does.

 

[kuYuri]

I like the AC4 sea shanties thrown in there.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Everyone loves BF, asks Ubi to make another pirate based AC game.

Ubi goes back to 3 more land based AC games.

Takes concept of naval combat and creates a multiplayer game.

Boooooo!

 

[Barzul]

Sea of Thieves > this

Yeah I've reversed my opinion. It's only ship combat. Was expecting more.

 

[BassForever]

Multiplayer game

.

 

[Ultimadrago]

ResidentSleeper

 

[Zia]

Tuned in at the perfect time, apparently. That looked legit cool.

 

[Loxley]

This looks so fucking cool.

 

[Timeaisis]

Did they just board the other ship in a cutscene?

 

[Ricker]

Looks great...tell me you can do the same against AI though.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

A+ for the use of narrator instead of awful fake party chat

 

[KodaRuss]

I am glad they brought gameplay. Kinda disappointed there is no single player.

 

[A-V-B]

Ship combat ONLY? But boarding and taking over a ship was so cool (

 

[Cartho]

It better have lots of sea shanties. Love a sea shanty.

 

[Coffinhal]

I don't understand the need for unecessary comparisons. People see pirates and believe it's the game mechanics ?

I don't like the floating health bars. Makes it into too much of a hands-off video game. I'd rather you just saw the ship get damaged and determined how close to sinking it was from that.

[Kyuur]

This is narrated like a Discovery documentary lmao

 

[GlitchyDegree]

Multiplayer game

Yeah that part is disappointing.

 

[Alienous]

World of Tanks for Pirate ships?

 

[yanipheonu]

Suspect they want that World of Tanks money, but with pirate ships. I hope there's a single player portion, but this seems fun at least.

 

[Cymbal Head]

[Permanently A]

Wow I'm dumb disappointed.

 

[dakun]

too bad it's multiplayer only.

 

[NullPointer]

Well, that happened.

 

[Lime]

I hope non-combat sailing is possible. I love the sea and the sun.

 

[TI82]

This is literally a cut and paste from black flag holy shit

 

[R_thanatos]

Skull and bones is BOUGHT

This is ALL

 

[lucebuce12]

Weigh-hay and up she rises
Weigh-hay and up she rises
Weigh-hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!

What will we do with a drunken sailor,
What will we do with a drunken sailor,
What will we do with a drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?

ayy

 

[DerZuhälter]

This looks boring as hell.

 

[Albino_Yeti]

I'm so disappointed.

Why can't we just get a good single player pirate game?

Literally just make Black Flag but outside of the AC universe.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Oi, lads. We have hoonters in our midst.

 

[DSix]

Oh... you don't go outside the ship? no manual boarding either? Oh well, too bad, I'm out.

 

[Toa TAK]

YOUR SEA SHANTIES ARE BACK BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU LOVE 'EM

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I thought he said at that start you could play on your own or team up?

Don't care if it's just multiplayer ship battles though.

 

[Vaga]

 

[MaKTaiL]

This looks EXACTLY like AC4. And worse since we can't board out of the ship and explore.

 

[WooHooAlex]

So what I get from this, is that I need to buy AC4 tonight.
I'm looking forward to Skull & Bones, I'll play that.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

... and I'm out again.

I wanted AC meets Sid Meier's Pirates. Not For Honor on the sea.

 

[Alchemist]

Pvp Black Flag. They literally just copied and pasted and gave it a different name.
