Get ready for Ubisoft's "remake" era, at least for Assassin's Creed. Of course they started with Black Flag, since it was a popular title, and fans liked it. I imagine we'll get an AC1 remake, and eventually an AC2 trilogy remake. They can just keep doing this for the next 5-10 years. Drip-feeding AC remakes. I'm sure we'll still get new original AC games, but a remake of AC1 and AC2 is fully expected in my mind at the very least. I don't believe Assassin's Creed is going anywhere, so good news at least, for what fans the series still has. The Black Flag remake announcement seemed to be well received, so I think there are more fans of the series then they let on, even in this day and age.
wish they would remove all the modern age bullshit but that won't happen sadly
Seems to work for Capcom. I'm not gonna complain about it if the games are good.
>>738388063Why don’t they remake the first game? That’s the one I feel would benefit from updated gameplay.
>>738388063It’s impressive how quickly the industry went from remaking classics like Silent Hill 2 and Snake Eater to mostly fine 7/10 games from the late PS3 era.
>>738388063Look up assassins creed hexe
>>738389125How can they update the game when it's absolute repetitive shit at its core? "Go climb there to unlock the map" or "go listen to these dudes to get intel" over and over like all Ubishit games.
>>738389148>It's impressive how quickly an almost empty well can run out of water.
A remake of 1 and 2 trilogy would be nice. I still like them, tho.
>>738388063>Get ready for Ubisoft's "remake" era, at least for Assassin's Creed.This was already in their pipeline before Shadows even happened and the next games are Hexe (The next mainline AC game) and Invictus (Multiplayer game).
>>738389386If anything, it’s the least “Ubisoft” like of the earlier games because you barely need to engage with that at all if in you don’t want to. If they just took the first game, left the writing and atmosphere untouched and just added in deeper stealth mechanics and gave the investigations more variety, it’d be perfect.
>>738388063This remake looks like more slop. I'll pass and get StarFox instead.
>>738389442>>738389201I knew about Hexe, but very little about it. I wasn't sure how much was even known. It has something to do with Witches or Druids? I don't know if you can choose to play as a man or a women? It seems like in recent games they give you a choice between a man or a woman, but I don't know if it's going to follow mechanics from Shadow, like were you play as two characters and switch out between them. I personally didn't care for that. >>738389616>He just threw the whole fishing pole in
>>738389148What's wrong with remaking games that are 20 years old? It's old enough to be retro.
>>738389442I feel like Hexe is going to be a massive pile of shit and ruin the good will Ubisoft seems to be building with Black Flag Resynced. Montreal already kinda fucked up with Valhalla and the idea behind Hexe seems very risky. (I personally enjoyed it and see it as the best game in the rpg trilogy, but I'm aware that's a minority opinion)
>>738389674>I wasn't sure how much was even known. It has something to do with Witches or Druids?Female-only game set during the 16th century witch trials. Supposedly the MC's name is "Elsa". Current rumors are it takes place in Germany.You get to use actual magic that has nothing to do with Pieces of Eden like turning into a cat and I forgot the other example that was given but more recent "leaks" seem to imply there are no cat transformations anymore and the "magic" is potentially more like using hallucinogenic tools.Supposedly they're changing the gameplay up from Shadows (Which was heavily stealth-focused) so it's likely more action-oriented. I'd personally expect something like Valhalla since it's the same team I think?It's potentially bringing back the Fear system from Syndicate's DLC.Supposedly Ezio is supposed to show up?There's also some rumors that they're running back a lot of the ideas they initially were running with so who knows what that means.>>738389992I have no hope for it personally, especially since they're turning away from Shadows' gameplay which was by far the best of the RPG games. Valhalla was better than Odyssey but that's such a low bar, and Valhalla had some of the most boring story segments in the entire series.
Just dieYou had 5 new IPs being developed and cancelled them all. It's pathetic.
>>738389992I like the setting idea behind hexe but have no hopes for it being good, especially if theres female mc only
>>738388063>once in a while get urge to replay black flag piratey stuff>remember it's attached to dogshit we are so clever ubisoft abstergo sync garbage which takes you out of just being a pirateyeah im good
>>738388063They are starting with their only game i care about so i can just go back to not paying attention to them after black flag is out.
>>738389992Hexe was originally intended to be a girl power witch magic AC but it seems Ubisoft is cleaning house and the new guy in charge is deleting all the bad stuff and fixing things because Ubisoft cant have another shadows outrage again.
>>738390527they're removing the abstergo stuff from the remake and also less tailing missions too.
If they leave the original entries alone in my Steam library eg by not adding (2013) or whatever to the real AC4, then fine I'll happily accept their remaster endeavors. The fact they specifically call this one Resynced gives me some hope that that's how it will go down. Nothing pisses me off more about these modern garbage remakes than when they give the new remake the exact same title as the original without any further designation, then the original real game gets the stupid year of release appended to it in my library. Fuck off with your garbage modern remakes trying to overwrite history.
>ezio trilogy remake without present sectionsdear lord please
>>738391052I think this will happen, they said they are leaving the original alone
Daily jamboy shill thread
>>738388063Ass Creed Ezio Trilogy remake is such a no brainerIt's puzzling how they have yet to make it, do they like easy money or not?I would actually play it, Ass Creed 2 era was the absolute peak of the franchise
>>738389125They urgently need money asap
>>738392029They said they're testing the water for remakes with Black flag and another AC that deeply needs it, which everyone assumes is AC1. Ezio trilogy would be a no brainer if all of these sold well.
>>738392241AC1 is such garbage. No point in remaking it without a fundamental redesign. They'll go for Ezio instead.
Ubisoft is definitely going to churn out soulless AI remakes of all of their games, even stuff from less than 10 years ago. I bet we see Far Cry 3 and 4 remakes soon.
>>738392425AC1 is the only real assassin game but it was clearly designed with a lot of limitations of the time. They just need to put the story in a bigger game and give you actual big cities and people will be happy with the remake. The story is actually good in AC1.
>>738389148Black Flag at least a 9/10 though. It is really good.Ass Creed has turned into total shit, but back then it was pretty good. Black Flag is easily the best of the bunch.
>>738392523Please tell us what this "actually good story" was. Because all I remember is>go kill all the bad guys>actually, YOU are the bad guy!
>>738388063Atleast it will prompt a vhamge of soke king, about time they realized the newer games suck ass
>>738388063This is like a last ditch effort after Shadows was an attempt to do something slightly different, but they botched it so terribly nobody actually wanted it. The flipside is just remaking a game that's popular. I still don't know if the AC4 remake is going to make as much money as they're hoping, but at least they realize they were making better games before.
>>738388063Fuck off. I'm not buying your game Ubisoft.
>>738388063>buy this game you already heavelol, nice try. The good news would be Ubisoft closing, which sadly isn't the case.
>>738388063only played 1 and 2, currently playing through valhalla
>>738392673first 4 games are way better than black flag
>>738388063Assassins creed remakes are the stupidest idea anyone has ever thought of
>>738388063Ubislop, shant be buying
>>738388540they took it out of the black flag one
>>738388540I wish they make a full-on fantasy Ass Creed spin off. The mythological stuff in Origins and Odyssey was very good, it just didn't fit the setting.
>>738398295They didn't. Yes, they removed the Abstergo Entertainment stuff but we already know Modern Day content is going to be in "Rifts" which are identical to how Shadows did it with Animus Ego. You'll find them around the world and get snippets of them. They're also going to have "What if?" scenarios like Edward being a Templar.
melanie lemay, my belowed
>>738389969>It's old enough to be retro.>AC1 is almost as old as the NES was when AC1 came out
>>738398572its not literally ass creed but check out Immortals fenyx rising
>>738388063>assassins creed player pretends to have standards
>>738389125Without sounding hateful it would be a disaster. This is the first remake so starting off with a massively popular game is the perfect starting point. I’m just saying they need to keep in mind most of the assets and animations are reused from other games. When the remaster the first game it needs to stay true to the vision by expanding upon the foundations. No one wants to see Altair’s parkour using Basim’s animations, or Ezio’s hidden blade combat re-using Aron’s animations. I’m just saying this game was needed because they’re in a financial hole, but the next games need to be less like RPG games entirely, just forget about it and retcon them.
I'd pay full price to play this again
I knew ubisoft were creatively bankrupt with their same tired, recycled piece of shit formula that they use on all their games, but i never considered that theyd be that dead of a studio that they just rerelease old games.Why dont they just come up with something fresh?
>>738404606Why not just play it now without having to pay again?
I want another co op assassin's creed game
>>738404961I didthe servers got shut down 2 years ago dude
>>738405054Even if they re-released, remastered or remade it, it wouldn't have online multiplayer. They stopped doing those with Black Flag/Unity.
>>738389125The point of these things is to profit off of names that have positive associations and milk it into the rooster crows. This isn't an attempt to 'redo games that could have been done better and bring them in line with the rest of the franchise'. No one in video games, consumers or devs, care about the fucking art of it. I am so glad I have mostly severed ties with this hobby.
>>738405176yeah no shit dude. I'm saying I'd buy a full price game if they just released the mulitplayer as a standalone
>>738405216Hope you enjoy keeping your money then.
>>738388063if they combine AC2 and Brotherhood into a single seamless game it's going to be the greatest asscreed ever made
They should have a team using the previous anvil engine and create actual remasters of the original games. If the remakes are going to use the new anvil engine adapted to the RPGs than I’ll think about buying it at a discount.
>>738405752This but the opposite for AC3
>>738395676>ac1,ac2,acbro,acrev
>>738405752Aside from just being stupidly long, that game would become noticeably worse after Brotherhood shit starts. Instead of just duct taping them together, they should rework some of Brotherhood to make it play more like AC2. There's a risk that all their changes are bad, but at worst you can just play the original ACB.
>>738388540>getting rid of a classic staple of the franchise
>>738403284>I’m just saying this game was needed because they’re in a financial holeAgain, this was being done before Shadows was even released which was before they truly started collapsing. They're also reusing a lot of assets specifically for this game as Edward's parkour animations and I think even his assassination animation is straight up just Naoe's, the ship combat is lifted directly from Skull & Bones instead of 4, the animal system for your ship is 1:1 what was in S&B, and they've already said they're utilizing various assets from S&B which I have to assume is stuff you see on the islands and I think some of the people.
Game that should get a remake- Assassins Creed 1End of list
>>738405752lel not a chance they'd pass up two lots of sales for one
>>738406287Do you want a complete remake or just graphic updates?
>>738406287>Game that should get a remake>End of listFTFY
If you give Ubisoft money, you deserve exactly what you get.
>>738406576Actually I still think it looks fine. It's the repetitive sandbox missions that are kinda shit. The story missions are great but everything else is kinda rough
>>738406842Okay yeah I can agree with that but I think it would be more a soft reboot than a remake.
>>738406842while I think the resynced bf looks good graphically, they would kill the ac vibe with better graphics. just look at mirage
BF is super overrated honestlythe only reason it got so popular was because it was the best pirate game we ever got up until that and since
>>738408832It didn't come right on the cusp of piratemania like Valhalla did with vikingmania. But yeah, people were still hype about pirates at the time hence it got the extra boost in popularity.
>>738404606>>738405054>>738405216Make it, as far as I know there isn't an online team-based hide and seek-like with combat.
>>738388063People will buy these remakes and be shocked when the new games are still bloated with check list garbage and filled with microtransactions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjy1ymWv424
Didn't shadows save the company? I thought it shipped lots of copies?
>>738409574Who said anything about sales or shipped? It had LOTS OF PLAYERS!
>>738409574lol lmao
>>738388540>wish they would remove the entire core conceit of the franchise and the coolest thing to ever come out of Ubisoft
>>738409574At best it sold like 2-3 million. It was already on heavy discount three or fourth months after release (When I bought it) and has only been going lower and lower to the point it's now regularly $24-30.This remake also wasn't done as a reaction to Shadows, it was being made while Shadows was still in production so before they had everything fall apart. I think production started after Valhalla or after Skull & Bones released? I can't remember the leaks clearly enough at this point and I'm too lazy to start digging.
>>738388063>have to install ubisofts gay launcher and create an account even if you get it on SteamI will skip.
>>738409978Im pulling this out of my ass but I think they started working on it when they saw skull and bones being stuck in development hell with no way of making profit and someone realized that they could reuse the assets. almost too smart for ubisoft ngl
>>738406160The issue is that they did it to themselves.The original appeal of the modern day shit was watching Desmond enter a slow spiral as his Assassin ancestors skilled and memories bled into his mind outside of the animus.Without Desmond, the fucking glue that held the classic and modern storylines together, what's the fucking point of continuing modern day shit?Nobody gave a shit about the faceless modern first person segments, and when they tried to replicate Desmond with Layla, nobody gave a fuck about her either.
>>738409963Yes. If it was just a game set in X era where you are an assassin it would be significantly better. The animus plot device is retarded.When you think about an AC game you don't think about running around as Desmond doing fucking nothing.
>>738388063>>738403284>This is the first remakeDid I fall into a parallel dimension where AC3 was never remade?
>>738388540That was one of the coolest things about it. Pure history sims are lame
>>738410738that was a "remaster", only the graphics changed (for the worse)
>>738410834How did they change?
>>738410716yeah fr my first thoughts on the franchise go to the le hecking wholesome chungus dlc where were unslavery'd all the heckin black slaves that stuff where a computer person god from hundreds of thousands of years in the past from the superpastfuture using some random dirty Italian as a conduit to deliver a voice message to the year 2012 is some boring gay shit or utilizing the Animus' bleed affects and muscle memory to fight off groups of Abstergo guards in a surprise credits raid. >>738410884
>>738388540because honestly after Desmond died it didnt matter
>>738410716>>738409963the best parts of Syndicate and Unity were the Animus glitches and the only parts I really remember outside of the Jack the Ripper DLC and the really stupid boss fight at the end of Syndicate
>>738410952The graphics on the bottom are markedly better, only downsides I see is that there's far less light for some reason, and the closed captions look more soulless and lack the name of the speaker for some reason.
>>738410709>what's the fucking point of continuing modern day shit?Giving a reason to care about the actual plot of the story. What does it matter if someone like Arno or Evie and Jacob win or lose to Germaine or Starrick? We already have the precedent of organizations existing in the future that are taking advantage of these things, so even if J&E beat Starrick you have no idea what happened in the future and if their struggles mattered at all. The Animus and Modern Day give setup for things happening in the present and justify the struggles the people went through. I despise Layla but even so Modern Day is still interesting because they're constantly advancing that plot and introducing new things.>>738410884Lighting was ruined across the board.>Some candles look like a mini sun is exploding in front of you.>Lanterns look like someone is shining a multi-thousand lumen LED light at you from across the map.>Campfires look like someone just lit a flare in front of your face.>Memory Corridors, especially Haytham's, are now ruined because there's insane bloom for no reason.>Interiors like the tavern in the Homestead are now pitch black or even have it rain indoors.Subtitles were made so big with no way to change them that entire sentences that got through clearly in the original are now like five words. They're also mistimed.Objects are now vaseline-smeared. This is very apparent when Connor teams up with Haytham and the brick wall that was a normal brick wall looks like someone lathered it up in lotion minutes prior.It's way glitchier than post-patch 3 already is.If you don't own a console and can get it physically then pirate the original AC3R is horrific. The only good remasters from them are Brotherhood, Revelations, Liberation, and Rogue. Even then Brotherhood has issues in that they removed the colors it had so it's not that great of a remaster either.>>738411307The bottom is the original.
>>738388063I got AC4 on sale a while back but never started itI wish third party launchers were fucking bannedAnyways, how is itShould I give it a go, people seem to cum over itI only played AC2
>>738411307the bottom is the original
>>738411307>The graphics on the bottom are markedly betterthats the fun part
>>738388540they will add more modern age bullshit>blacks in "british roles">stronk womyn>homosexuality>sensitized jokes>character selector with body typesubisoft will have learned nothing from almost going belly up
>>738411307>TOP - Remaster (2019)>BOTTOM - Original (2012)
>>738411378>The bottom is the original.You can't possibly be serious
>>738411378>Giving a reason to care about the actual plot of the story.wat. black flag is the only assass game i've played and the modern part just felt confusing and i wanted it to be over asap. i would have cared just as much about the story if it was just set in the past. maybe there was some stuff in the modern part but i have absolutely no memory of it except walking in an office and wanting to go back to the past.
>>738411643Who the fuck puts the original on the bottom?
>>738410952>>738411432>>738411643the fact that you can't even tell at a glance which is which means it really didn't need a demake
>>738411854I DID title it REMAKE vs ORIGINAL in the filename, most people in the civilized world read top-to-bottom. I thought that people ingesting the info would be able to mentally handle that but I was clearly wrong.
>>738412256>TIL I have AC3 demaster in library>its because I boughted gold edition of odysseyhow are these even connected
>>738388540People like you are why the franchise went down the shitter. Ubisoft got rid of the creator of the series, and made Modern Day completely irrelevant because they wanted to shit out a million sequels forever, and milk it to death, instead of ending it with a full Modern Day game with Desmond saving the world. Now it’s just a shambling corpse of what it used to be.
>>738412419Because they added an Alexios skin for Conner in the Demaster.
>>738412419Lucky, I bought out of morbid curiosity on a sale and even then $10 was asking too much. Thank God for Steam's refund policy, that $10 went back to Aliens: Dark Descent.
>>738391176>Ezio Trilogy without the best parts of the trilogyFuck off.
>>738409963They could have easily retired the modern day setting by giving Desmond a happy ending in AC3 and make every Asscreed released afterwards anthological.
>>738412683They killed him out of spite
>if something goes wrong in there, dad. if something happens to me... when you tell my story years from now, please... tell them the one about how i lost my way, and then i found it again. just in time to save the world, an-and just end it there. that'll keep everyone smiling. goodbye dad. say hello to mom. tell her i love her, okay. tell her i-i love you both... i love you both.
>>738411739In the screenshot you originally quoted, yes.In my post you just quoted, no, the remaster is on the bottom. Here it's also on the bottom.>>738411776>black flag is the only assass game i've playedWhich is the problem. It answered a ton of questions regarding Desmond's fate, established Roberts was a Sage, showed exactly what happened in Modern Day regarding the Observatory (It's useless because modern surveillance is objectively better), showed what happened to Juno after AC3, and showed what Shaun and Rebecca were up to. We also learned about the internal dealings of the Templars and how paranoid they were about Assassins.
>>738411776>I played the 6th main line game in the series and was confused about the storyNo shit, Sherlock.
>>738413276Mmm yes my my rubber bricks and my instagram floodlight Connor... go get them.
Assassin's Creed 4 is the only good game in the series, simply because all that Assassin's Creed nonsense was pushed way to the back.Everyone just happened to stumble upon a great game about sailing ships and pirates, and they wanted more and they still do.
>>738414750The craziest thing is that this is after they pushed a bunch of patches that supposedly addressed the visual issues but in reality all the patches addressed was Haytham at the start (Who still looks like he's made of clay) while stuff like this is normal to see running around.
>>738415624The remake pushing the assassin and modern day shit even further into the background is the only reason I'm getting it. Ubisoft ironically could have made bank if they just made a spin off series focusing on naval combat.
>>738415828>Ubisoft ironically could have made bank if they just made a spin off series focusing on naval combat.They did. It was trash.
So is Unity actually good or am I being memed? I'm in the mood for some AC and never played that one before
>>738412256Ok, fair point, I should have looked at the original file name.
I can't wait to see my boyfriend (girlfriend) in modern graphics...
>>738415990its one of the best entries in the franchise now
>>738415903Well not really no they didn't. They should have made Black Flag 2 with all the tailing missions and stealth removed and the pirate aspects more fleshed out not whatever the fuck this abomination was.
>>738412928Oh come on, that was clearly the ending planned for him from the start. Just wish they had done the modern day full game we were expecting.
>>738412679>liking desmondYou're everything wrong with AC.
>>738415903I thought the problem with Skull n Bones was that it wasn't the ship combat formula Assassin's Creed pioneered so well?
>>738388063>Ubisoft's "remake" era,To a player who has never played a Ubisoft game, Ubisoft games look fun at first. They play fun at first. And then, as with all Ubisoft games, somewhere around 10 hours in you begin to realize that the game is just the same thing on repeat. The gameplay is so shallow and so repetitive. For low-skilled and low-IQ players, a Ubisoft game can be fun, but most other players get bored within ten hours or so. In fact, we have probably reached a point where most players already know what the Ubisoft experience is like and simply never bother playing the Ubisoft game in the first place.
>>738416036I feel like a bit of a weenie for my passive aggressiveness in that response. I apologize for my actions on this day.>>738415903this was like diet AC4, it felt like a really cheap Chinese job like that Helldivers gacha.. was not really impressed by how grindy it was.
>>738415903Man, the '90s, Uncharted Waters 2 - you sail around the world, chart the seas, make geographical discoveries, and trade (though if you ship a lot of a certain commodity in a short time, demand for it drops sharply), you can be a pirate or a privateer (they’re different), you can climb the career ladder by serving the king, or you can search for treasure. Plus, you can sail solo or hire other captains to build a fleet. In battle, a turn-based mode activates, where you can either fire cannons to sink enemy ships or board the flagship and defeat the enemy captain in a duel, capturing the ships and cargo in the process. You can level up your character through the branches of glory - trade, military, and exploration - and learn skills from teachers, such as navigation or gunnery. You can invest in trade to unlock new goods, and in shipbuilding to unlock new ships for production, which are customizable (materials, slots for crew, cannons, and cargo). Goods and ships are unique to their respective regions of the world. Not to mention that there are six playable heroes, each with their own backstory.All that’s needed is to do this in 3D, not 4A.
>>738409574it KILLED the company
>>738415990I didn't play it at launch, so I think it's one of the best AC games. To the point I wonder if I'm being memed when people hate on it.
>>738415990Main story is underwhelming. It's primarily Arno simping for Elise and excusing a bunch of deaths she could have potentially done as "I used my mind sucking memory powers of by Hidden Blade to get a lead, just trust me bro." all game.Side content is great, the Murder Mysteries are some of the series' best.Co-op missions are okay, nothing crazy. They do get repetitive if you're a 100%er and are required if you want to buy all of Arno's skills.General exploration is great. Armo feels nice to parkour with, pretty much all of France is open, there's a crazy amount of people around so you can always slink into a crowd, and France itself is well set up.Make absolutely sure you play with the French dub unless you want Bri'ish people in your French game. FR Arno and Elise are great compared to EN. FR's only problem is the side quests because at one point they use a 50 year old man for a 5 year old kid and he's not putting on a kid voice.>>738416112Well yeah, it should have been more like BF but it's what you just asked for.>>738416390It's problems are that>On-foot exploration is an afterthought because this was supposed to be a PVP-only multiplayer game so all you do is run around lifeless maps searching for buried treasure and buying cosmetics from NPCs.>Ship combat is terrible. It feels awkward and stiff, slow, and you have to build up to max speed which is the total opposite of 3, 4, and BF.>There is no on-ship battle, you just go into a cutscene and win when you board them.>Instead of salvaging ships you reel in for parts to heal your ship you now chug crafted meals and first-aid kits to magically repair the ship so they expect you to spam heals while fighting everything.>You have to supply your own ammunition. Which you craft. For every aspect of the ship.>You can poison and if I remember right electrocute ships with magical cannonballs.>The game constantly requires you to craft everything which is extremely awful.
>>738413276>Which is the problem.it wasn't a problem, it was a fact>>738414564i knew the story. there was some annoying present-day segments that interrupted it.
>>738412449>made modern day completely irrelevantno they didnt, they made it an annoying tacked on shitheap. if they arent gonna do the modern storyline, why fucking bother with any overarching narrative? desmond is gone and they literally will not create ANYTHING interesting in the modern day, there is ZERO reason to use it in the games now
>>738418635>Desmond is gonesomeone must have stopped playing @ Origin (I don't blame you)
>>738416041Here is a timestamp to 4 short cutscene comparisons and she's in one of them. I'd say she looks pretty alright, with a slightly slimmer facial structure.https://youtu.be/8Htyg1R-wOM?t=59Hornigold, who is in the last of the 4, on the other hand... they did him pretty dirty.This game is a guilty pleasure of mine, so I am going to play it for the sailing alone, but I did enjoy the characters as well and while the remade cutscenes are no longer locked to 30fps, I think they are slightly worse. It's not the same for every character, but I could tell that there are small details in regards to body language that are missing, like for example blackbeard chuckling with his whole chest as he mocks Edward in the original. This might be a side effect of having all these high res faces, which probably take the spotlight at all times, but we'll see how it's going to be throughout the game. Also, while the eyes and teeth stood out in a bad way often times in the original, being able to clearly see the eyes of each character, helped with their mimic and I personally also liked the sweaty look everyone had.
>>738418635He’s back.
>>738417979The Modern Day story IS the overarching story. Without it, it’s just an endless loop of Assassins and Templars fighting each other with no end in sight. How are you this dumb?
>>738416112We already have Black Flag 2. It’s called Rogue.
>>738416145It wasn’t. Desmond was going to save the world and get together with Lucy, and just like they killed Lucy off out of spite for her actress, Kristen Bell, they killed Desmond off out of spite for Patrice Désilets, since he didn’t approve of how they were already milking the series.
>>738420001If I only play this and only this game why would I care about the modern part of the game? How are YOU this dumb? If they demake Black Flag and not the first one and the others before the Black Flag there will be millions new players that don't give 2 shits about the modern part of the game. It's obvious Ubisoft are just doing this for money so they should just skip the modern part, or make it a toggle in the options (default off) or make it something you unlock by beating the game once. The overarching story is pointless to me and insisting that it should be in the game to please a couple old fans is stupid when it breaks an otherwise solid standalone game.
>>738420719Why would you jump into a franchise on the 6th mainline game?
>>738420719They are skipping it for this because the Modern Day content is going to be new content in the Rifts which implies this game takes place after Shadows.>to please a couple old fans is stupidIt's not a "couple old fans", Layla only exists because people were pissed it was toned down in Unity and Syndicate. Shadows got an Isu temple and more focus on the Animus Ego story because of how people were pissed about how little were was of the Isu and the Modern Day in the game.
>>738420854because it's standalone and a good game.>>738421076not even fine with a on/off/easteregg compromise then? it just *have* to be ruined for people that don't care about the overarching story?
>>738425215Yes, because the overarching story is part of the identity of the series. The people who complain about it are genuinely a minority because every time it's been toned down in any significant way it's immediately been addressed and had content brought back in way larger amounts by comparison. With Resynced they're removing it because it was heavily complained about back in the day how frequent and pace-killing it was, but Modern Day as a whole is not being removed since they're moving it to optional content now.
>>738425410there's no identity, i was a ninja pirate and there was this annoying flash forward to the future that interrupted my adventure.new players will have no idea what is going on with the modern parts of the demake so they should just skip it (or hide it in some manner by default).
>>738420283>they killed Lucy off out of spite for her actress, Kristen BellWhy were they upset with her?
>>738426676she wanted more money
>>738425745>there's no identityYou literally just described its identity. It's a magical machine taking you through memories to learn about the truth of history and two sides ideologically vying for control.
>>738427086that's the series identity. this will be a standalone game, its identity is being a ninja pirate. there's no point in having a snippet out of the overarching story and ruin the standalone game's experience.
>>738427328They're not having it interrupt this game specifically because they already did it and they're likely not wanting to remake all those assets. The Modern Day content is in optional Rifts spread throughout the map that is supposed to be brand new content or "What if?" content.
>>738427440we'll see what they do. i have to go to bed.
>>738388063It doesn't look like much of an upgrade.
