As long as its a true remake, like Resident evil 4 and such, then im kinda pumped. I know its a little creatively bankrupt but its one of my favorite of the series and would love to see it with todays technology. and maybe some expanded ship gameplay elements
Yeah. If it's a full remake then I could see the islands being completely opened up like in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which would make the Caribbean absolutely massive.
It feels like I just played AC4 recently, and I'm sure it's the same way for a lot of people my age, which is why this seems to be getting a lot of critique. But honestly that's just cause we're getting fucking old lol and this game was a PS3 game. I'm all for a remake.
Yea it doesn't feel too long so I can see people being unhappy. But God damn if I didn't love being and assassin pirate
It's just as old as The Last of Us but nobody cared when they remade that, people are just angry because it's Assassin's Creed imo.
Why?
I mean its one of the most loved in the series and its feeling a bit dated. It will sell and make money.
I'm not mad, not like its taking away from new AC games since there is still Mirage on the way.
A remake for the PoP series I suppose could make sense. Hell, even for the first AC. But Black Flag? Is that game even older than 10 years? I think Ubisoft has no idea what is doing anymore.
Because it's easy. They'll just slap some more postprocessing and maybe higher resolution textures and call it remaster. Media and everyone will talk about it and it will sell since it's a beloved game. Easy money.
It's 10 years old, and as old as The Last of Us, which has gotten a remaster and a remake. What's the issue?
Maybe I am getting old, but from my perspective, a game should be remade to port it from a very old gen (early 2000s or even the nineties) and for nostalgia reasons. I don’t feel like Black Flag fits this criteria. It still feels pretty close to current gen games. Imagine if the same happens to Witcher 3. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
Yeah but remaking an even older game means all new models, all new textures, reworking audio etc. Thats basically a whole new game at that point its tons of work.
Remake a 10 year old game? You can upscale some textures, rework a few models, rework the lighting and add some tweaks and it refreshes it to the point where its more palletable to current gen gamers without needing insane dev time.
I honestly don't mind it myself, I like that the games get a little extended shelf life. If the price is low enough then I'm down for it.
Another remake for a game that doesn't need it, trying to get back the industry's favors with something that worked 10 years ago rather than make actual efforts.
My favorite AC, I agree--if it's a true remake, bring it. Otherwise the original is still good.
