Yeah, that's what a lot of us thought as well. I think that might have been the plan a long time ago before they started churning out a game a year and things got away from them so they scrapped it. *shrug*

Are you serious? The video I watched of the Xbox One version looked exponentially better than current gen. From the dense vegetation whipping around in the storm to the increased draw distances and DX11 waves.
I won't be picking up a PS4/Xbone for several years, but even early stuff like ACIV is a massive improvement over current gen. Just the fact that it's native 1080p is a /massive/ advantage.

So I'm a few hours in, haven't upgraded my ship yet and I got a tip at the bar on a big ship out there to capture.
So, I sail out there thinking this will be easy money....basically that ship to me ->

Yup the 4 (actually there are 5 but the two twin ships count as one) legendary ships are brutal. I took all of them down before fully upgrading my ship and that was probably the most challenging thing I ever had to do in any Assassin's Creed.
Good stuff.

The one in the northwest corner is a bitch because supposedly that territory is "easy" according the map. Well I sailed to that point of interest and suddenly this fucking behemoth appears on the horizon and my crew was like "yo fuck dawg that ship is huge" and I glanced through my binocular monocular, did a 180 and sailed out of there as fast as I could.
That ship is MASSIVE.
Yes El Impoluto is the hardest one, the one in the northwest. You basically have to use the same tactic that he uses and ram the shit out of him. Just be really aggressive.
The one in the southeast is the easiest. It is basically a slightly better Man O' War.
3 memories. Took me about 30 minutes to complete. Kinda cool if you have played Liberation to see some more progression with her story. Graphics look very different though, especially her character model looks a lot worse. I can only think that this was stuff cutout from Liberation.

I just completed the game on my WiiU from an external HDD and didnt notice any framerate drops at all.
Haha. I did the same, but I attempted to stay and fight... Took not even a fifth of his health away before dying. Granted this was sequence 6 I attempted to do so.
...
I'm actually looking forward to the DLC in this game. I haven't finished the story yet (sequence 9 I'm at), but I'm really enjoying it. The DLC will probably be the first [expansion] that I buy in the AC series.
Better frame rate. No issues at all in cities. Sharper and clear graphics. Perhaps more details as well.
Source please? The last time I have read the same impressions about splinter cell, just the best res was true. Personal impressions sometimes are quite bizzarre in a forum.
? So mild frame dips during cut scenes while avoiding screen tearing from other versions is not worth mentioning or not superior?
fps was generally worse in the wii u & texture are low res...

Who did the captions on this? Random words are capitalize in every sentence. I don't understand.
I also encountered a bug where I got a ship stuck between the Jackdaw and a ship I was trying to board. Eventually, I just swam over to the ship and killed the crew. I'm not sure how I managed this clusterfuck but it was frustrating and funny.

It's because the Kenway memories are in beta, Abstergo hasn't finalized subtitles yet.
eh sounds like a selective reading of the DF comparison.

Had ACIV when it came out, and upgrading to PS4. Will dive into the exclusive content right away. I loved the exclusive content. It was my cup of tea.
Yeah, something like an 'Assassin' buddy. They could also do it like Peace Walker, where you see yourself as the main character, and your friend as the 'generic Assassin', but he sees himself as the main character, and you as the 'generic Assassin', that way everyone wins, and you both get the cutscenes as the mc. Co-op assassin setup could be pretty awesome, like one person lures a target to show him something and the other assassinates the target. Any form of distraction + execution could be cool.
My own experience playing the Wii U version and reading about the issues the Ps3 and 360 versions have. Also looking at screen shots of all the versions. Some I uploaded right from the Wii U myself.

It's going to be really interesting to see where Ubisoft takes this franchise now that the next generation has arrived. They've been held back by technology for so long and I feel every game has been too ambitious for current gen platforms. I can't wait to see what they'll do now they don't have to worry about memory restraints and stuff like that.

Really? Wow, I don't want to play the PS360 versions then... I started the WiiU version, and I found the framerate to be VERY distracting in the city...
Fantastic review mate, loved the enthusiasm and articulation. Subscribed
PS enjoyed this better than alot of high profile reviews if not all of them.
If you don't want anyone's opinion, then why even ask? Just do some research and decide for yourself, then. I have looked at the Wii U version (version I own) and 360 version ( my roommate has it) and the Wii U version seems superior to me.
I echo both of these responses, awesome times ahead: Ubisoft please take note
Wow

Took me about 10 hours to hit level 55 in multiplayer and 40 hours to do everything in Single Player. I enjoyed every minute of it. =)
Grr.. mine hasn't. Not really a big deal, it's supposed to arrive the day before the system anyway.My PS4 version just shipped from Amazon.

Love this game, to the point I'm seeking out the CE guide along with the art book and thinking about picking up Ubi's Pirate book and encyclopedia. ironcreed is right in saying that progression and unlocks are timed perfectly although I often find myself just sailing around the North islands, looting ships and finding treasure. I just love the sailing mechanics and animations for Edward using the wheel or how the crew all get busy when you give the command to go faster.
That said with getting more invested and sucked into the world I do wish I could explore all of the interior of the Jackdaw like Mass Effect's the Normandy. I also wished I hadn't upgraded to the battering ram just for aesthetic reasons. lol
Haven't been on since Friday though so did the Community challenge get completed?

It is a much better game but I believe that they should leave the ship gameplay after this one. Improve upon the story and make the cities feel more fleshed out but maintain the accessibility of traversing between the streets and rooftops like this game. In this one it is a helluva a lot of fun to freerun across the rooftops.
