Ubisoft Walks You Through Assassin's Creed IV's World

Animations look a little uneven. Some look fantastic and some look....goofy.

Hunting fish is not the appeal of a new Assassin's Creed game :P

What are the guys on the ship at the start even doing? Man I hope this game isn't so rushed and broken as 3, but I get this bad feeling....

Ubisoft should really calm down with the trailers. This game isn't out for almost two more months and it almost feels like I've already played it.

I'd like to see how to harpoon a blue whale.

I really appreciate the vibrant colors in this setting. It's a nice change of pace.

Looks like a more fun game than AC3 (although that's not saying much), but I really don't like how Edward animates when he's holding weapons - during that stealth sequence in the cave.

This. The game continues to look incredible, though. Ubisoft knows that the AC games make for excellent trailers and bite-sized gameplay demos. We'll see how the finished product turns out.

As someone who is NOT buying a new console at launch, I can only hope the games looks nearly as good on current gen machines.

That sure looks like Assassin's Creed.

"Drinking too much will have some fun surprises for you" Oh like getting drunk?!?

No idea why this is the only series of videos on the site where I have to enter my birthday to watch it.

HELLO GUYS I'M AN ASSASSIN'S CREED IV TRAILER

I sure hope this is the PS3 version being demoed and not PS4, because it looks a little scuzzy on the graphics side of things.

I knew it! Sharks are Templars!

Kind of looks like Heath Ledger at 1:30

After playing all AC games. I gave up on AC during Revelations (after that tower defence bit; I was done). I see nothing here to warrant re-immersing myself. :(

@banefirelord: yea i hope so too. game looks fun though. O yo ho ho its a pirates life for meee

I beat Revelations and as much as I'd like to say you missed out.. ehh.. They kinda screwed up Altairs story and he was still my favorite of the two. Ezio's story kinda ends weakly as well. It was an alright AC game, but zero innovation.

Finally what might be a good Pirate game can't wait for this one.

Boy does that harpoon sequence look like the sequence on the lake in RE4. Down to 'get-pulled-along-for-a-while-now-harpoon-from-a-stationary-boat' mechanic.

(Skip to 1m29s)

Nice looking water though.

I watched this demo at PAX. I'm glad I didn't wait in line for it, I'll just say that.

Can someone please tell me i if the ORIGINAL concept of the games was hunting whales? Hunting sharks with a harpoon is odd, that is not really how you'd do it. It seems like a game mechanic they made for hunting whales but then someone said in a meeting, "Crap we can't hunt whales...SO MANY people will be pissed!"

That's called a 'Nantucket sleighride'.

Hey guys. Remember when you used to get to be an assassin? Yeah, that was cool...

Yay 2007 level Crysis water. It only took 6 years! Okay okay, it's a little better. But not 6 years better.

and this just looks like an average looking PC game. Lots of aliasing, so-so faces and foliage. I'm more excited for seeing what Naughty Dog come up with as they were truly the masters of the PS3.

Witcher 2 still puts nearly all games to shame. Real talk.

Can't play trailer! Nothing happens when I press play.

Can't preorder this after AC3 was such a mess. But if it lives up to the marketing after release, I'd give AC another shot.

Dudes still standing around while you fight one at a time. Looks cool though.

Resident evil 4 was awesome.

@morningstar: Speak for yourself.

Also lol at "stealth is still VERY IMPORTANT, he has none of his weapons so he HAS TO BE STEALTHY" right after passing a part with a sword and gun just lying around for you to pick up.

@monkeyking1969: Did you hear? Im sure one of the pirates said "ready the whale boat lads", Ubisoft, you fucking morons.

@snowypliskin: @monkeyking1969: also the narrator dude specifically mentiions great white sharks and blue whales as targets

Nope. You and me, Ubisoft, we're through. It's over.

lmao, "to gain access to the tavern you have to prove yourself" *beats up a bunch of dudes* me: hooray for violence!

"Hunting Fish" ? Where i come from we call that fishing.

He can't go under with three barrels, not with three he can't

Okay I'll say a little more about the PAX trailer. They gave out blow-up cutlasses and told people to wave them around and yell "ARR" when people saw something awesome. I didn't hear a single Arr. I thought there were some cool parts, but I have a little bit of dignity.

Anyone else think Edward Kenway kind of looks like Heath Ledger?

...Anyway, I think this game looks alright. AC3's worst parts were it's main story quests, all the pirate stuff actually wasnt that bad. This game looks like it's mechanics and gameplay over story which is great.

And yet Watch Dogs looks like concepts that sound fun but look boring and that seems to be getting all the hype. Oh well, personal preferences I guess.

I know AC3 was disappointing, but the level of negativity in these comments is a bit nuts. It lookes fine. Seems like they are showing the PS3 version, so the graphics are a bit rough, but the gameplay seemed interesting. All of this is just side quest type stuff anyway.

So this is Wind Waker HD

UGH why isn't the video playing? Can anyone help?

Like some others, I can't get the video to play. I click it, but nothing happens.

Why did I get this instead of the video player? Why is batman telling me to grow up? :(

Anyone else see this?

You are not old enought, or didnt input a right age... or the player just thought you did that.

I wonder what happens if you start idling in the sea. Does your crew start singing a bunch of pirate song to kill the time?

Shit, I should play AC: Brotherhood again...
