If this is real do we think it will play like the more modern games or just be a graphical touch up to the old game?

"Worst Kept Secret" should be an award at the VGAs

This is a dumb tweet.

Those features are already in the base game and what he's seeing is just steam updating store pages with a list of accessibility options. This isn't unique to black flag and isn't an update to black flag.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Sounds like a mod pack. If it was a remake I would have to ask whether it makes the parkour less finnicky and more controllable or the combat more challenging and weighty? Also wish they would add backwards strikes in checkers. Only taking out a piece moving forward has been my downfall too many times.

that game sucked ass hard.
Incredibly long tutorials and intro. It takes like 10-15 hours to really get going
it takes even longer until ship stuff
PLenty of same trailing missions
mid and boring. it's the game that killed my interest in ac. I think that even 3 was better and that was a slogfest.

We get one good pirate game and you go and bitch it's not Ass Creed enough.

Prior to origins you could never save manually, AC games were auto save only. Same goes for difficulty options, there was only one difficulty up until origins.

I dont say it's not ass creed enough.
I say it's a boring ass game and always was. I greatly disliked it on release.

AC shadows though? pretty good. I had good fun with it this year

You be platforming with Yasuke.

 

[Hudo]

Black Flag could be a cool game if they'd remove the AC stuff from it. As an AC game, it's shit. And as a pirate game, the AC stuff is annoying.

I won't say it is a bad game, but aside from the ship missions i actually agree with you. Especially the intro stuff, holly shit.

nah. I be blowing heads off with yasuke huge dong.
And sneaking with cute naoe.
Story of ac shadows sucks ass. That part maybe is better in black flag... but I remember nothing about black flag story.... so this means it wasnt that good either

AssCreed is AssCreed. Bad on day one. Bad now.

The first one was technically impressive for its time. Unity was impressive for its time. Shadows has a great engine. That's it. Those are the only positives about AssCreed since 2007 when the first game was released.

TES Oblivion Remastered would still take the award.

 

[Fake]

Probably the best AC game ever. Lets hope for a not censorship again.

 

[Topher]

Yep. Black Flag would certainly be nominated though

 

[forsakkenSoul]

I hope they remove or rework those parts where you control a character outside the simulation, that was the worst part of the game. Other than that, it's a great AC, one of the best.

 

[Connificent]

How bout fixing widescreen support

 

[Griffon]

Hm, if that's the case, I stand corrected.

Still, then this is just a mislabel on a new Steam label, nothing big.

 

[Moses85]

The last good AC Game….

But do we Need a Remake?

 

[rm082e]

After hearing all the excitement at the time for Black Flag, I bought it on sale. I found all the typical AC stuff was still boring as it always had been. I just ditched the story and did all the pirate stuff until I completed the last mission on that questline, then uninstalled it. Even the pirate stuff was just a bit better than okay. I still don't get the praise for it.

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Okay you scallywags, we are setting sail for the Seven Seas, we are in for proper pirate kino once more.

Don't fuck this up Ubisoft, oh I swear on Davy Jone's beard.

Shiver me timbers.

 

[Dr Cowley]

I hope one of the changes is after blackbeard dies the screen cuts to black with the message

"The End.
Animus shmanimus, bollocks to that lot"

Then the credits roll

 

[K' Dash]

how the FUCK did we not get a fucking pirate game out of this, or a black flag 2?

They needed to remake it because they didn't know how to create another game like it.

Can't wait for Black Flag on the latest Anvil engine.

OT meetup

 

[EN250]

Why remake BF when can do the first one which is the basics to everything?

I know BF is the best, but they could do this ala Capcom and keep milking the franchise for long time with the best games (Ezio story + AC4)

I'm an actual AC fan, and it's always been weird to me that Black Flag became such a fan favorite. I just don't see anything particularly remarkable about it. It's OK. It's not terrible, at least.

 

[Karim]

The most useless remake of the videogames history. Who really give a fuck. Give me back Splinter Cell fucking morons.

Please do us all a solid and start adding "to me" or "in my opinion" when it comes to your banal takes. Jesus christ lol

I did that in my dead space 1> all resident evil games thread, and got called a pussy for having "to me" in the OPYou can't win lol.

 

[Audiophile]

I'm an Ezio Trilogy stan who played ACI, ACII, ACB & ACR, then AC Unity and basically gave up on the franchise (tried ACIII and was bored out of my mind).

I never played Black Flag, so an updated version with balls to the wall tech and refined interaction would probably be the first Ubi thing I've touched since Watch Dogs 2.

Black Flag on the PC is still worth a play through, even if you don't get the remaster

ac shadows is pretty good. Story is not good (at least it's 3rd act) but the game is pretty good. Mechanics can get quite addicting.
It's kinda mid but porduction values, graphics etc bring it up. The gameplay is also kinda free roam. You can stealth, or explode enemies heads. or just avoid encounters.
what's so controversial? Just because the game was laughed over for a year, does not mean anything.
I wanted to give it a try and I was positively surprised

Yeah no one liked AC2, Black Flag, Origins/Odyssey and are regarded as incredible games. Bad games indeed!

Some of those were made back when Ubisoft still had talent, but if you're asking my opinion, no, they were never good games. It's simply not what i am looking for out of an open world game. Fallout NV, Elden Ring, Stalker anomaly, etc. Now we talking about interesting open world games with meaningful content.

Interesting open worlds to explore are interesting. While others you just walk around and kill shit. Too generic.
