Positives:
Above is the new leaked first trailer of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. If you watch the trailer several aspects of this new game are revealed. First of all, it seems like we are going to see more naval warfare. In Assassin's Creed III, naval warfare was briefly introduced but the gameplay aboard a ship on the sea was unbelievable. It was by far one of the best components of Assassin's Creed III. The graphics of sailing on the seas were astonishing and the on-board warfare was a thing of beauty for Assassin's Creed fans. In this new game, it appears that the assassin will be placed in a pirate-themed setting which is another plus. The trailer is dark and gloomy which definitely excited me because I am a big pirate fan. If you love the series, Pirates of the Caribbean, I am sure this video game will please you. Additionally, the main character, Edward, seems to be some what of a ladies' man and appears to have some sort of personal background that was not revealed in the trailer. The fact that "Black Beard" stated that even he would not want to know his story makes me want to know Edward's story. It seems intriguing and if Assassin's Creed IV plays its cards right, Edward may just be one of the coolest Assassin's Creed characters.
Negatives:
From the trailer, there was no indication as to whether or not the climbing of huge buildings was going to be in the game. If it's not, there is a big negative. Assassin's Creed has built popularity for having some of the greatest climbing visuals and gameplay mechanics. Also, the Animus was not mentioned in the trailer which causes me to wonder whether or not the Animus is going to play a role in the game. Assassin's Creed is known for its background story of the Animus and it pleased all fans as it symbolized an ultimate objective.
Conclusion:
To conclude this post I would just like to remind the audience that this review is just based off of the trailer. There has not been much information released yet about Assassin's Creed IV but this review was created as a "first thoughts" type of article. With that being said, Assassin's Creed IV's trailer looked awesome and if Ubisoft works hard to please its audience in this game, this could potentially be the game of the year.
Has Ubisoft put out any kind of fact sheet about the things that are going to possibly be taken into account with Assassin's Creed IV? Or are you only going off the facts presented in the Trailer since it happened to not make some sort of mention of Animus? That would take a lot of the connectedness of the entire story that they have been building upon in the previous versions of the game.
ReplyDeleteThe trailer does look awesome though and I'm looking forward to what kind of back history they have hiding in the play-through, but most of all I hope a lot of the fluidity that is seen in this video translates over to the game in comparison to the video. Gameplay at times can come off a little choppy in comparison to how smooth everything plays out here in these initial videos.

It has more facts and details about the game. However, in the post I was only commenting on the details I observed in the trailer. After reading the article, it sounds even cooler!
I can't wait to try this part. I wonder how the assassin's were involved with the pirates? It would be a new aspect to fight among the pirates and taking over ships. From the article that you posted in the comment, it would be nice to know more about the history of the assassin's since it's the story of Edward Kenway- father to Haythem Kenway and an ancestor of Desomnd Miles.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it looks really cool and I'm excited to learn more about Edward Kenway. I'm hoping they continue this series until it finally gets to modern day assassins. That would be awesome!
DeleteAnother Assassins Creed!? Geez I need to catch up on everything! It looks sick though! I love this series and I just hope ubisoft etc.. don't mess it up! Good blog!
