Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag announced

[Antwan]

Due to all of the ship based missions and homestead stuff in AC3 I lost interest in it rather quickly.
So, having AC4 based around those principles means I am pretty much not interested in the game at all.
I had more fun in AC3 hunting deer and climbing trees instead of going through the rambling story.

For sure.
If it weren't for plot twists and reasoning behind naval warfare I might've just quit there.
The things surrounding naval warfare did interest me but the initial way you did it..
I dunno, I hope the pirate side has more ship boarding tactics.
I think You did it once or twice in AC3. The rest was medium to long range cannon fodding.
I have not done the side missions on the rebuilt vessel yet however.
This game is slowly modernizing, no denying it.
Ships, Boats and cannons are just the beginning I feel.
I mean look at the spoiler guns used in desmond's story.
It felt so out of place even with it being the present day.
1 Shot kills Made everything so incredibly easy.
I actually almost forgot about that part but more modern guns were
already incorporated outside the animus.
I'm getting a bit carried away here. I'll save the rest for a review.

Well if this is true:

You can approach ships from any angle, weaken them with your cannons, then attach grapples to pull them towards you and storm the deck. Or swim around the back unnoticed and slit the captain's throat for the stealth-loving players.

Then it will be a viable option for just about every fight, rather than one time as a plot-fight, so it'd be awesome.

Really bummed out about it being so ship based. It's not gonna feel like Assassin's Creed as much.

i felt the same way initially. but they way they explained pirating in the scheme of things makes it seem like ships could be used for no more than transport and storage if the player so desires. of course there might be some ship based mission(pirating is the premise of the game). but otherwise the developers promise plenty of freedom so you can approach missions the way you want to. and im pretty sure there will be plenty of on land missions. i doubt you spend the whole game or even the majority of it on sea. i hope so because i want to ravage the coast and burn down towns.

If you're unable to scale tree's, Id be very disappointed in development.


And I swear this game is telling us something. Since the first game...hidden beneath all of it.
