Too early man, and keep this up and soon we'll see people flooding the forums with COD 10, or Mass effect 5 threads, just wait till the at least a teaser trailer is out.

I loved ACII the most because of it's era. 14th century was amazing, not much had developed and still we were using blades. I hate ACIII because of guns... it just takes out the feeling of a grand period.

Ezio will be THE best assassin. Though this new mustache guy looks like a badarse.

It did not live up to expectations , especially the ending which was pathetic.

BTW, that new guy is Nikolai Orelov. He's seen in an AC comic book. I definitely think Ubi are moving to Russia set around 1850-1900. :(

I think Altair is the most badarse. Though the new guy looks closer to Altair and is a Russian, so he's badarse already.

Altair was very good but with Ezio we actually saw how he changed from his childhood to his mature age. When you see the whole life of a protagonist you kinda get connected to him/her.

AC III have awesome graphics but the ending was totally pathetic. AC3 wasted my time.
I will not play AC IV because my favourite character Desmond Miles died in AC 3. and yes Ezio Auditore da firenze was great assassin in AC series..
Ubisoft is messing up with AC series....without Desmond's missions and naval battles there is not much fun in AC 3 rather than that eye popping graphics.
like gameranand said when you see full life story of protagonist you get connected to him.

If you have completed AC3, read this
Guys, even if Desmond died.. I think he still could be alive INSIDE the animus, the same way the nanosuit stored prophet's memories etc .. Just like subject 16, desmond could interact from within the animus.. IDK but it's just absurd for Ubisoft to ditch the main charecter after so many games and create a new one in the sequel (unless its a spinoff game, which is unlikely anyway)... Desmond WILL return, I can almost guarentee this

Its not about that, every one of the AC heroes in the games are debutantes, Altair, Ezio, Connor, Aveline. So judging from that, I just don't think they'll use that russian guy from comics, I could be wrong though.

In February 2013, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the next game, releasing some time before April 2014, would feature a new hero, time period, and development team.[22] No launch platforms were mentioned.[23]

So, we can expect a sort of reboot.

Hmmm........Actually I don't think that I did something bad. I didn't said how it ended, I just stated the story of Desmond is over, this is mentioned in reviews also. Also this thread is for AC next part so anyone coming here would have already played AC3. :)

It's not an end. There's a possibility that Desmond can stay inside the Animus, as Altair/Ezio/Connor did with the memories.Even a new protagonist (if any) can access (play) as Desmond.

Same as above!
They set their standard too high with AC2, that's why being a fairly good game AC3 felt/seemed bad, now God knows what have they done with this! Don't like the name though, too modernish, if that's a word.

First thing that I hate is use of Guns in the series. I like the old way and don't even want an option to kill my target using guns. Now this game is coming close and close to modern world which is not acceptable for me. I like remembering AC series as a Medieval time game.

Exactly. They started as Medieval time game and then added guns, then tower defense, naval battle and all. Yes they are good but don't do justice with series, I would have liked if they would go back in time not come in modern times. :|

Well I had the same card, but for sure FPS didn't drop to 25 in Boston! Yes, it was way lower than in other places, but it was always over 30!

Boston being an open area commands tremendous load, it drops to 25 using 560Ti at times, but avg it should be over 30.

Fact or speculation?

We also know from Ubisoft that our AC4 protagonist is a privateer, Edward Kenway, who happens to be Connor’s granddad. (From AC history, we know Kenway died in 1735; from here-and-now history, we know the Golden Age of Piracy was in the 1720s.)

Holy motherclucking crap! Darn these CG trailers, always gets me pumped. I liked this more than AC3's.

I love the dark theme of this game. Making me go all crazy, this. I don't care about milking as long as the milk's good.

And trailer here, *gamingeverything.com/41862/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-debut-trailer-leaked/. Hidden blade's there obviously. I'll buy this just for the pirates and their Scot-Brit mix accent [loved Monkey Island].

But ACIV doesn't look like a fun pirate-themed entertainer, like the POTC movies. But hell, I want it dark, gritty and weird and treasure hunting and some fantasy and kraken! Oh man... I only wish. Can't wait!

Oh BTW, mods please rename the thread.

There was an easter egg in AC2, where we can see a "Giant Squid" swimming across the last assassination tomb.
Have anyone aware of that?

No, seriously, the theme is based around Piracy, what else would the missions be based upon rather than water, and its only 50% ffs. There are underwater missions too. The weakest part of any AC game is that the missions tend to get repetitive and boring after a while, they seem to fix it now, but well...some will want to complain regardless :|

Guys, set aside the hate-stuffs. Every game has its drawbacks somewhere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the repetitive missions, that's the problem with Sandbox-type games. If a game is linear, people just play non-stop and finish it .
But, if it's sandbox only a handful of side-missions (say 5~7 approx) will be available apart from main story.

At first, side missions were enjoyable. Once, the player knows how to finish it for few times, he will eventually finds those missions as repetitive.

Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag: PC Is Lead Platform, Will Be Ported To Consoles

Assassin’s Creed 4 has a new lead platform in the PC and this has been confirmed by Ubisoft Singapore. Hugues Ricour, senior producer of the game, has told Edge that they along with five other studios are helping Ubisoft Montreal create this behemoth.

“So we do work on a high-end PC, and that helps, that simplifies things,” he said. “We are discovering these opportunities for Assassin’s Creed in general so we know games are becoming more social, more connected, and we know this next generation is going to help us.”

“Assassin’s Creed, originally, was a very singleplayer focused game but we have a section of our audience that loves the multiplayer. However, a lot of our fans are very engaged with the story, and the narrative, so how do we combine this with a connected experience? It’s still to be defined and we have a few good ideas. The game will remain true to its roots, and its roots are in the narrative and immersing the player into an experience and a story.”

The PS4 allows them to use more social aspects to enhance the game and it is first being made on the PC and then being ported to the consoles.

BTW games for PS4 cost 4.5k each

I guess u guys are using wrong cracks...most of them are crap making the game too laggy.
pm me if u want the link to the crack i'm using, it is quite big (250 mb) but provides a lag free experience.

Maybe he meant multiplayer part along with the usual story mode.

I am playing since 14th of this month and I completed only 29% of AC4-Black Flag single player.Now imagine how many hours of gameplay is in multiplayer mode apart from single player which has I think 150-200 hours of gameplay for completing all missions or to "achieve 100% sync".

PS: Here you have to travel by your ship from one island to another or simply quick travel once an island has been unlocked.According to one of the reviews I read it has 75 major and minor islands to discover and roam and one of the best gamepaly is you can steer your own ship and do battles with other ships of various sizes, sink them or capture them and add to your fleet.In one word it is simply awesome. This is one of the most sought after RPG games of 2013.

If you take Witcher 3 which will be released in Mar/2014 that has almost 200 hours of gameplay(open world).All the monsters from Witcher1&2 and some more are being added also which makes it one of the most sought after RPG games of 2014.

I'm not doing primary objectives at all, first time in my gaming life. So much to do, the ship fights are awesome, the weather effects are THE best.

This game will surely renew the energy of the series which was lost with ACIII.

yes i have a 560ti also , but since i am playing BF4 so using 7850 for time being . processor - intel i3 2120 . This game doesn't take advantage of even 3 core , so a dual core with good gpu will do fine i guess .

One question - Should I buy this game for PC (check my sig for the rig) or for PS3??

You have a decent gaming rig , users are reporting fps drop during combat/jungle in ps3 . So get it on PC . Plus its also 1k cheaper i think .

I believe Vsync locks at ideal FPS at each of the settings (either 30 or 60 fps). I am not sure of the technicality of this but it sure will lock the FPS. As suggested try switching off the Vsync for once and check the fps. May be u can play around with the vsyn to see the locking yourself.

vsync forces the gpu to wait for a sync timeout before sending the next frame to the display. When you are above 60 fps, its completely fine. But when you fall below that mark, it will cause frames to be dropped, causing the game to feel jerky. Plus, since frames get dropped, the "average" fps drops, making it a further jarring experience.
Also as the display is waiting for the next frame to be delivered, the screen will not be updated as soon as its available, so you will experience input lag.

Hope that clears out the technicality for anyone interested :D

Don't worry slowly complete the main story but in the mean time complete the Assassins, the Templars and the Treasures as well but finding the treasures are somewhat boring as we have to search which map co-relates to which island.Its really stupid and boring unless there is an indication when we equip the map.

it helps in getting better fps when it falls below 60 and vsync locks it to 30.
it enforces triple buffering.U need to to run it with vsync turned on.Try it and see.

Hull armour , broadside cannon and stroger round shot are the most important upgrade . Without that , you will get pawned by legendary ship .

Yup true that.. Broadside cannon requires lot of looting to be done to aquire the whole set.

Hull armour is just one more upgrade away. I have the metal and wood, but thinking if I shud use it for broadside (300 metal) or upgrade hull armour to max it out. Any suggestion? Metal is hard to find.

If you want to take legendary ship , then upgrading hull armour only will not help you much . it depends on the preference , but i upgraded hull armour and cannon side by side . One you get wanted meter high , the ship that comes to attack you have lot of metal part ( 100-180) . Before attacking any ship/enemy , see the content using spyglass .

IF it has material that you require for upgradating jackdaw , then take over that ship . If not , then just destroy it , you will still get the metal,wood , rum , but only half .

The mission where you have to find keys to loot plantation can also give you metal part in large quantity .

I have unlocked every warehouse on the map I have seen so far and hull armour is just 1 step ahead, I got the large rounds maxed out. But now its the broadside cannons that are to be upgraded and Hull armour is 1 point away from maxing out (for which i have the resources already)

I am thinking of swimming to the legendary and take over the ship :p parking my poor Jackdraw long away.. May be out of vicinity of the legendary :p

Also, I have lot of money too with me but money cant buy you metal :p

But you cant take legendary ship like that . When you go near those ship , a small cutscene start . And you have only two option - to fight or to retreat , no stealth .

Oh yes we can.. But only point is we should take no hits which is wat is difficult when you dont have enough damage to finish off the ship faster and a fight with legendary ship is not a walk in the park.

I can also confirm that you can only beat a legendary ship. Oh well, that will be possible when a full-fledged pirate game comes out :D

BTW, this game is awesome. I haven't played any AC game since the original, so I don't much care for the main story. But the graphics are awesome, the naval portion is a time sink. The only downside is that it is too easy, especially on land. Even if I am surrounded by 20 guards, I need not suffer any hit at all, unless somebody fires a bullet at me.

BTW, how evil and satisfying is it to shoot dead a brute when he is preparing to land a heavy attack on you? But even more fun is to shoot a berserker dart a guy with the long gun. He clears so many guards for me :twisted:

Just 37% ? You have missed the great part / The thing about AC4 is tons of side activities , underwater treasure , Fort hunting , legendary ship hunting , animal hunting , treasure hunting , unlocking the map , Collecting shanky , doing Naval and assassin contract , upgrading ship etc .

Main story was meh , Honestly i dont want to play main mission any more ( i am on sequence 9), its a little dragging . But doing other stuff is lot more fun .

It shows 92% game completion for me and I don't know if I will play more. There are other games waiting :D

It is not related as you don't play as Edward, but his black quartermaster. It is unrelated to the main story. Its story is better than AC:BF but it will last only around 5-8 hours.

Its because of your GPU as I did not get any lag on my PC(see the siggy) but I turned off some settings in the display settings.Turn off V-Sync,AA and Motion Blur to increase some performance.

The most common resolution is 1920x1080 which I think most gamers use but to get some more FPS we have to turn off some settings.In closed environments you will get 30fps but in naval battles and open environments you will get 25fps.This is what I get and is sufficient to run and enjoy the game.

One annoying thing screen tearing is visible even though the FPS is lower than my screen refresh rate (60Hz).. Its present even after turning on V-Sync@30FPS.

shadow quality:- medium/normal
AA:- the lowest one

Re: Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

Is it just me or does AC4 gets boring over time? I mean attacking and boarding every ship is the same process, and with a fully upgraded ship incl. elite ram, hull and mortar taking any ship takes about 2/3 hits, and then there's the same old process to board the ship, I have enough money and nowhere to spend it(60k+), the land missions are same, absolutely same as I mentioned before, I had the energy for the first 30-40 hrs, now that I have already become stronger than all the ships in the entire sea(minus legendary ships one of which is already down).

The game seems more like a chore rather than exciting, and this is coming from a guy who spend over 600hrs or even more on Fallout 3 and NV separately, there are so many random choices and events that take place in those games, even Witcher 2 had variation with two distinct story lines, but AC4 has become boring with time, right now I don't even care anymore, randomly attacking man-o-wars/frigates when I feel like it, already have enough metal/wood/cloth etc, gotten through most of the treasures.

Life at sea can become boring, specially if you played like me and tried to achieve 100% completion, even before sequence 5 which I believe is not even halfway of the game I have a fully upgraded ship minus a few elite upgrades, all but 2 forts destroyed, naval missions almost all done, same with contracts, and the challenge is completely gone.

One of the biggest gripes I have with the game is when upgrading ship the appearance do not change at all, for the love of the lord, when we spend hours gathering money and stuff to upgrade a ship at least change its appearance a bit, you can change the sail colors but that's it. Also the hometown(great inagua) is completely useless, there is no reason for me to ever go back there anymore or upgrade it. I'll just finish the rest of the main missions and be done with it. And then get back to Fallout 3 ;)

AC4 felt great when I started it, first game to portray piracy in a grand manner and accurate to somewhat, but it quickly turn boring and repetitive.

I got this only in the last ship battle in ac3, when there was lots of smoke at the end cutscene, in ac4 I get it at times, mostly in havana and underwater shipwrecks, goes away after a restart

Could be. These Beta drivers have some serious Sh1tty issues. I didn't downloaded them, waiting for a newer Beta or a final release. :)

I've searched as far as i can, but i didn't get a possible explanation!
Here's the question - How Kenway became an Assassin?

Altair was born into the Brotherhood, so he became an Assassin by birth.
Ezio's father was an Assassin, and after his families death, he seeks to avenge the rogues. His uncle Mario trained to become an Assassin.
Connor's father was sort of an Assassin and after his village was destroyed by Templars, he was trained by Achilles to become an Assassin..

Kenway is different. If you've noticed at the beginning of the game after the shipwreck, he and Wadpole reach shore. Wadpole escapes, and (for the first time), Kenway uses his eagle vision to locate it among the trees. How is it possible? Isn't the eagle vision is for the Assassins? People might say, he wore the Assassin outfit of Wadpole and was sort of recruited unofficially as an Assassin in the middle of the game.

There isn't an possible explanation? Anybody's enlightened here ??

He probably had the precursor genes, anyway don't go deep, even the hardcore fans agree that assassins creed 4 had the worst storyline ever, the story doesn't connect the assassins vs templers story even remotely, its just an afterthought, ac4 is a pirate simulator.

^ yep , try to think AC4 as a good pirate game . Modern day story in AC4 was crap which involved only hacking . AFAIk , game doesn't show that he become part of assasin brotherhood , only hint is given during sequence 12 .

Maybe he was like Altair.. He was the first one with eagle vision.

We did not question how he got it..

Similarly kenway.. He just had it.

One of the games did discuss it, the powers came from precursor genes, altair's predecessor had a precursor parent.

Exactly. Even Desmond had this ability but he just didn't knew how to use that.

But he did use one thing without much training - the sway of his ass (like the assasins) when he walked.

But what AC4 didn't discuss is that all the previous games showed that even precursor genes are not enough to make you an assassin, that's why Ezio's brother was executed so easily, same with his sister, she wasn't an assassin and his father was more like a scholar, so he also got executed easily by thugs and Ezio nearly died trying to save is family, he learned blocking, climbing etc throughout the game, later on he could take a dozen guards unarmed, so you need training to become assassin, same with Connor, he learned fighting like all other Native Americans, but learned Assassin fighting techniques later or(the game din't do a good job with this, he was powerful from the start, there was no actual growth, like how Ezio actually became strong by learning techniques).

But Kenway was strong from the start, he killed an assassin on his first encounter, an assassin who had been training for his entire life to become what he was then, then inexplicably he knew all assassin techniques from start(air assassination etc), there was no growth, kenway was as strong in game as he was at start, there was no growth, the only thing that grew was his enormous ego and his ship, that's it, the story was completely disconnected from the Assassin vs Templer storyline, AC4 is all respect was like COD, no story, no character growth, nothing, it feels like a multiplayer ship battle, with a dumb AI.


I have some more gripes:
The ship battle grows tiring after some time, the game has no replayability, I played AC2 3-4 times, see how things would turn out once I knew all the kicks, how I could tackle situations a bit differently, there is no such thing with AC4, you see ship, charge ship, fire some cannons/mortars, board, rinse and repeat, there are no angles there, soon you would have tried all possible combinations of taking out a ship, so where's the fun?

Even Games like Mass Effect 2 allows you to replay with all powers and upgraded to see how you tackle situations with all powers unlocked, same with Borderlands 1/2, other games like the witcher 2 has a complete alternate storyline, some games like fallout has so many damn explorable areas and random encounters that you would keep going back, some games like Binary Domain/Gears of War draws you with storyline, but AC4 get repetitive over time.

That's exactly my point. If am right, Altair should've trained by Masyaf - like Mario for Ezio and Achilles for Connor. Kenway is like self-made assassin, right from the start. He free runs, performs leap of faith, kills templars - all just by putting the Assassin outfit. Moreover, there's still a question of how he got those powers all by himself!!

He could have received the eagle vision from his genes, as AC games have explained before, the precursors sired children with humans. With the precursor gene, their offspring, and in turn their successors all get the eagle vision, so Kenway might have a precursor as his ancestor. But the games had also portrayed the fact that while the genes do give the owners better reaction time, strength, intelligence etc, the persons must get trained to successfully perform assassinations, they can't just become assassin by birthright only, the eagle vision is a birth right, the techniques are not.

What Ubisoft did, was to create a naval combat game, threw in some piracy(perfectly done, though gets tiring), added an eagle vision wielding guy and some cr@p templer plot, some worthless modern world plot without any direction and had called it a day, I liked Desmond way better, and would have loved to play in the modern world.

A crazy idea popped into my mind earlier, they could have continued the Desmond bloodline, and someday his descendant would be the protagonist in Watch Dogs, from what I had seen from the review, Watch Dogs gameplay moves quite like the Assassins, although in a modern day.

Witcher 2 , mass effect 2 , fallout series are RPG open world game , they are supposed to have replay value . AC series never have replayability . AC 2 was story driven game , Once finished , i didn't got urge to play it again . Not to mention AC 2 was SP only title . So even if you complete it twice , your total hour must be around 30-40 . AC4 on the other hand focused more on exploring then story . You can easily give 40+ hour if you love the game . AC4 MP was also very popular with 30k PC player playing daily . This game has the biggest world/map after Just cause 2 ( excluding MMO games) . So for me , AC4 was more 'value for money' product then AC2 .

Kenway was a pirate. May be he learnt free running while plundering ships..
