If they were going to remake any ac games, id like to see either the first one, or the entire ezio trilogy told in one game

 

[vkbest]

What? Who asked?

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Black flag is easily the best AC game. Only one I was able to finish without being bored but why is this being remade? There really seems like no point, unless they are just trying to get some cash back from the obvious sinkhole that is S&B

 

[akaFullmetal]

Should be doing the 1st game at this point.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Im pitching a black flag in my pants right now

Congratulations

 

[Fake]

At this point is far to say they will cancel that stupid pirate game and re-use some of the game to remake Black Flag.

In fact that shit game was inspired by Assassin Creed Black Flag killer boat exploration/fight with I not normally don't like boat games, but was pretty decent in Black Flag.

 

[Patrick S.]

What a waste of resources, just release a 4K patch for new consoles.

This IS the €60 (€99 for the premium edition) 4K patch...

 

[Jigsaah]

AHEM

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Just release a 60fps/4K patch for the current one fs

Such a waste

 

[Barakov]

This is definitely a case of

But AC4 was pretty tight so I'm at the very least interested.

Skull and boners.

 

[Hey Blinkin]

I guess I'll break the trend of who asked.

I would love a remake of black flag. BF has the best ocean traversal.

Plus I'd love to take on some rogue waves again!

you sound like me reacting to the dead space remake. just finishing replaying dead space 2, &, imo, all the dead space trilogy really needed was a remaster. still looks great...

 

[Belthazar]

Why? Isn't ir already 60fps on current consoles? The game looks good enough.

What a waste of money and time.

 

[rabbity-thing]

lol at providing breakfast as an incentive to come to work. Just pay people 1-2% extra and they will all show up to work the next day.

LOL. Some people have preferences that well outweigh trivial amounts in monetary compensation. My brother and his wife both work remotely and fricken LOVE it. It would take way more than 1 to 2% to get them to give that up. And while I basically need to work "in the office," (I'm a teacher) I would have to be seriously hard up to want to work Summer School or do after school tutoring. My life/work balance is worth more than the money. Though, to be fair, teaching these days is a very draining gig and I need all the energy I have left to keep up with my wonderful toddler.

 

[Alebrije]

Great , another game for Plus Extra by 2025

 

[TheCrowsReaper]

Day freakin’ one.

 

[Fuz]

Okay. Okay. Okay.

I might be interested in this.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

From what ive seen of mirage, Ill take this any day

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Forget about this franchise you bunch of cowards

 

[EDMIX]

My thoughts: This isn't coming out till 2027 at the earliest, as AC Red is slated for 2024 (could be pushed to 2025) and AC Hexe is for 2026.

Why would any of those matter? Generally remakes are not done by the main team, so unless we have some info on WHO is remaking it, it very well could come before that as I doubt any of the main teams would be doing the remake.

Too soon.

Nah, need I remind folks, Black Flag is a cross gen game, it was built with PS3 and 360 as its base, 10 plus years later, would make complete sense for a remake.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Taking inspiration from Sony I see, give it a year or two and we'll see a Valhalla remake as well.

Jokes aside, how the fuck are they not remaking Assassin's Creed 2 first??? arguably the greatest AC game ever.

 

[jorgejjvr]

That's awesome, the best ac game

 

[Solarstrike]

Brilliant move. Money in the bank if it's not jank!

They kinda are? Mirage is supposed to be a return to classic AC.

 

[lh032]

lol ubisoft is desperate now

 

[simpatico]

Maybe the best Ass Creed game

 

[Bernardougf]

Last assassins hame i played and my favorite one .. so .. lets go

 

[cash_longfellow]

Oh hey look it’s Kotaku…the site that wants gay romance in games and then bitches when the gay romance isn’t good enough in a game. Bunch of .

 

[Raven117]

Rather they have just made black flag 2 and not skull and bones.

Done. Where do I get my paycheck from Ubisoft?

 

[Hendrick's]

This and Skull & Bones at the same time makes no sense. Why can't they just make a pirate game like Black Flag and just pull out the assassin nonsense?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

There's a also some tidbits about Skull and Bones:

Planning has begun while Skull and Bones still remains MIA

Tom Henderson corroborates

The Best Assassins creed.

And even that... I get Sleep

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I smell creative impotence...

 

[John Marston]

They will definitely use Skull and Bones tech in this. They have to. So much time spent investing on that game and nothing turned out of it yet. They have to make returns from all the effort they put into it.

I never planned on playing Skull & Bones but when I saw they had absolutely no boarding implemented while AC Black Flag from what 2012? had it I just went "Yeeesh".

I love Black Flag. I even got it on my Switch so I can sing sea shanties while takin' a dump

 

[blakdecaf]

Yes please, love this game. My favourite AC after II.

 

[Kurotri]

Tbh it's more about how games take long to make, apparently it's very very early. On top of that, since this is supposed to be a full on remake, it probably won't get released anywhere near Red or Hexe so that they don't cannibalize each other.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

YES! I want this. Away with ye you haters. It was a great pirate game. I'd make ye walk the plank if I could for mutiny

 

[Moses85]

Its called: Skull and Bones

 

[genesisblock]

So, they do Altäir dirty huh? That's the game that needs the biggest treatment. Give it to Capcom the masters of remaking classics

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I love Black Flag. I even got it on my Switch so I can sing sea shanties while takin' a dump

Same here. I did try it on the Deck too, it runs pretty good on it. I'm still peeved it never got any love on the Series X (I havent tried it on the PS5, might have to see what it runs like)

 

[VulcanRaven]

What about the first game? Also they should release Series S/X patches to old games.

 

[SleepySlippy]

Today I learned that Kotaku still exists

 

[TLZ]

 

[K2D]

Remaster*. Surely?

 

[Juza]

Black Flag is not an Assassin's Creed game, it's just a pirate game titled Assassin's Creed!

Also, Rogue is better in every way.

 

[kyussman]

You would think given the limitless potential of modern video games a company the size of Ubisoft would have lots of talented people with many,many ideas for new video games to make.......apparently not.

 

[nowhat]

I'd love a remaster. Don't see the need for a remake though.

I was really hoping they would patch BF, Unity and Syndicate like they did Origins and Odyssey

I'd really like a patched version of Unity. I never finished it because it ran like ass, even with all the patches.

And also the fact that for reasons unkown, you couldn't suspend the game on PS4. As I use the rest mode quite extensively, fuck that.

 

[Pejo]

Black Flag is not an Assassin's Creed game, it's just a pirate game titled Assassin's Creed!

Also, Rogue is better in every way.

Every way EXCEPT the setting and atmosphere which Black Flag absolutely nailed.

Anyways, as long as the remake doesn't have a girlboss character come in and make Kenway look like a drooling doofus, I'd be open to seeing it in modern day graphics. The game still looks good enough though. I recently did a playthrough again on my Deck and it was jsut as good as I remembered.
