This Assassin's Creed IV Trailer Aims to Shiver Your Timbers

explore "uncharted" islands you say?

I guess we all should've known the next AssCreed would be about pirates since everyone was jacking off to the naval warfare in the previous title.

This actually looks really cool, but so did AC 3 before it launched. I'll stay cautious about this one but this game has the most potential of cool changes.

And what is that game running on? It looks way too sharp for current consoles. I'm guessing that's what the PC, PS4, and Durango versions look like.

This looks pretty cool and I have been waiting for someone to make a good pirate game since... well, no one has really made a good non-adventure genre pirate game yet. I'm just a little disappointed that it's also an Assassin's Creed game. Open world pirate and sailing game would be soooo sooooo awesome. :/

If they put the time into this and not make it another exercise in doing the minimum possible for maximum cash grabbery, I will be on board... the ship. I liked AC2 a lot. I'm not anti-AC series. Just anti-half assed developed unnecessary sequels for the almighty dollar get.

Why couldn't Ubisoft just be innovative and make an original IP out of this instead of another freaking Assassin's Creed game? I mean come on!

meh.

I'm very interested in the AC2,3 and 4 setting yet for some reason I've not played the games before.

That was a Read Dead Redemption style trailer.

3 killed all interest I had with the series. This game has to be very different for me to play it.

if they're not Sid Meyer's I'm pretty much done with pirates.

Dysentery: The game

Trailer got me. I'm in on pirate ass pirates being pirates. Any and all historical context on this topic is absolutely fascinating. Will even numbered AC games always be better?

Fuck sharks.

Could this be the open world ocean exploration game I've been dying to see since Wind Waker?
Doubtful. Still interested though.

WOOOOO GAMESTOP EDITION!

The more I see of this, the more convinced I am that this was developed in parallel with ACIII. The naval stuff in III just seemed way too fleshed out for a side mechanic. If by that time they were already well into development for Black Flag, the polish on that stuff makes way more sense. Might explain why ACIII didn't come off as up to their previous standard. Either way I'm liking where this is going so far.

That looked awesome

Did someone say whale?

Also I'm pretty sure this is the Phantom Pain.

I think this might have been better if they'd kept the mechanics but branded it differently, so it wasn't Assassin's Creed. If they drop most of the Animus stuff, then I can get behind it. It looks to be a decent game--or, at least as such things can be seen in a trailer. With Kenway they might have a more interesting protagonist. I'm just more interested at this point in being a pirate than being yet another stodgy assassin. I never imagined Ubi would ever make assassins boring, but AC3 ... well, they did it. Let's hope they don't do the same with pirates.

Hmm, the footage had weird " next-gen port from current consoles"-look to it. The amount of polys and the geometry clearly is something that our current consoles can do, but the resolution, frame-rate and some of the effects looks next-gen. It has this weird overly sharp look to it.

Or maybe it was just the PC-version. Anyways, Assassin Pirates are cooler than boring old regular pirates, i guess.

Looks gorgeous, I have to admit. But I'd feel better about it if it weren't Assassin's Creed.

Pirate assassins, you guys.

I always thought this guy's voice was wasted on adverts, it sounds really good here.

Having completely lost interest in the series about halfway through AC2 I find myself unexpectedly interested in seeing how this turns out.

Also, pirates... not enough games feature pirates.

whale

I'd be more all over this if I didn't just get disappointed with AC3 a couple of months ago. I mean you look at Zelda, yeah a lot of stuff is still the same but the gap between releases helps but having the same-playing game come out 5 times in a row...it grows tiresome.

I'm slightly optimistic but that's about it

I don't think the AssCreed franchise's awkward self-seriousness will translate well here, but my desire for a piratical game might outweigh that.

Yarr...

Arrrgh?

That was kind of the point, he did that to be as intimidating as possible. It worked, Teach was a crazy motherfucker.

Also, goddammit Ubisoft, right when I'm ready to just write everything off, you appeal to my deep seated love of Pirates doing piratey things in the Caribbean.

blackbeard you so crazy. them burnin tips will burn ya beard!

Bioshock? No bioshock...

Can't wait
