I could link you to a trailer for Assassin's Creed:Black Flag Resynched, but there's a ton of them, and it's safest to just drop you at their YouTube where you can choose from a World Premiere Trailer, an Official Game Overview Trailer, or even the Worldwide Reveal Showcase that clocks in at life a half an hour. It looks fucking amazing. This used to be My Series, I even liked the ones you aren't supposed to, but after they released two of them simultaneously and I finished Unity I kinda bounced off it - the RPG era and even to a certain extent dual protagonists felt really OOC. Just pick! Just pick the one whose blood I'm living in. This runs back before all that - probably the last of the truly blown out, old-style AC games. I really thought Edward Kenway was going to have a go of it, on some Ezio shit, get a trilogy by himself. That's how much people liked IV. I'd love it if that's what they're setting up. The multiplayer was some of the best times we've ever had online, it used to be kind of a full office affair watching those murderous Hide and Seek matches play out, but those were all additions after the series had hit its stride with mature technology and a massive global network of development teams. I can wait. It seems like they've really been going through it.
Most interviews about the game go into certain unspecified "changes" to the Modern Day Segments, which have always been a bit controversial for players. As I already said, I was ride or die so I just sat there and took my medicine. But in this new incarnation they're suggesting that they've found some way to tie these things more directly into Edward's Struggles. That could be everything from a platform challenge to a Better Help collab. I guess, you know… I guess we'll see.
Hey! Did you know that I wrote Sea Shanty lyrics for the original Black Flag? And Ubisioft got The Dread Crew Of Oddwood to put it to music? You can see it right down here - Katie Rice, who you might remember from Strip Search or, you know, the fucking Animaniacs, even did some art! My lyrics are here, if you want to read along:
#Fridabe is upon us, and that means a few hours starting at 11 of the Once Upon A Galaxy, famously my favorite game and I'm delighted they chose to sponsor me teaching the young squire Dirty Dwab its many secret ways. There is a whole new set coming out today, Mythbound, which has tons of new mechanics I haven't actually seen in game yet. I'm super excited! Come hang out!
(CW)TB out.
