Interesting they are going right for a numbered release instead of milking spinoffs.

Because Connor sucks.

Yeah, the most surprising thing here is that they're jumping straight to IV with a subtitle to boot. Even though this game jumps back in the timeline. My guess is that they want to go with an increasing number every year to drive enthusiasm. But given that this is now outside the "trilogy," why not just go with a spin-off subtitle? I guess they don't want to split the brand into different "types"?

Could this reflect an industry shift? GTAV should basically be San Andreas II, for instance. The Halo side games didn't seem to do much for the brand, also.

Wait, IV starts in the 1800s. Wouldn't that make the main character Connor's grandson, not grandfather? Doesn't III take place during the American Revolution? Isn't that around 1776? Admittedly, I have only played about the first hour of III so far. I'm on the Boat! Also, I am not American.

Must be a typo, the game is set in 1715.

That makes more sense.
I'll wager the article's author meant to say beginning of the 18th century, not 1800s. Trips 'em up every time.

Kinda disappointed that their hasn't been a black assassin, but with a name like "Black Flag", the internet would have been ruthless.

What about the Vita Assasin's creed? She was a black protagonist.

What is a Vita?

No comments about pirating this game yet? :smug:

getting there just need a bit of time

Ahoy Matey have ye seen any comfirmation for a PC version
i reckon that a voyage into those pirate infested waters would be fools errand for Ubisoft unless they wish to join some of me mates in Davy Jones Locker
Yarharhargh

yes, the handheld version had a young black girl while all the console versions of the entire series to my knowledge star a white guy
ubisoft is officially both racist and sexist

I already got a copy.



It's racist

the next iteration of the gamegear

Hmmm....then I probably would like it.

Yes, a PC version was announced when the game was unveiled a few days ago.

So was a version for Wii U, PS3/4, 360 and one will be announce for the new Xbox whenever it is announced.

aye now let us weigh anchor for the time being
