    When I saw the promotional to material I thought it was a joke or maybe it was a dlc. it should have been a dlc. i loved the naval combat and from what ive seen plenty of others did as well. i mean come on pirates are awesome. ac3 was mediocre imo. the naval combat was the highlight of it. haytham was a cool cat and i loved the whole plot twist. i tried to like connor but i couldnt in the end. native americans are as awesome as pirates. his race is what caught my attention. i thought it would be really intersesting. but connor just didnt fit as an assassin. hell he didnt even really want to be an assassin. he was a great character dont get me wrong. hes amazing in tyranny of king george. but again he didnt fit the assassin role. the rest of the game was poop, desmond parts especially. the game felt restrictive. other features like homesteading to much. the world was pretty dull. oh and the ending. dont get me started on the ending. they shouldve took time with the next one. been more creative. reinvent the series. if they were gonna milk they couldve at least made it like the ezio trilogy instead of being number 5. but if the games solid gameplay wise i will most likely pick it up. again pirates are fuckin awesome.

    They probably changed the character because they are probably still receiving a flood of complaints about Connor (mostly from people who don't understand Native American culture), and with every new character comes a new number for the series. AC Brotherhood and Revelations, IMO, were just as much as a full, complete, new game as the rest, they just don't have ACIV and ACV as their names because the main character was the same. So as far as I see it, I'm looking forward to ACIV being another awesome game. I'm pre-ordering the fuck out of this, they haven't let me down yet.

    II, Revelations, OG, 3.

    The characters are bloodlines of assassin's throughout history, as I believe it was told.
    So naturally, new characters will come into play as others get older to keep it "fresh".
    I guess my expectations rose a bit when I heard they pushed this game to make the release
    with the end of the world theory tying into the present.
    The campaign is interesting but I wasn't into all the army leading, Boat riding shit.
    I've still yet to find the fort or the crypt, whatever they are called now.
    I miss having everything in a few areas, easily found.
    It really does seem odd to kill off Desmond. He tied it all together.
    The rest of the crew I assume will be gone now too.
    I don't remember them having the skills to use the animus.
    I think they need to tread carefully. No quick decision making needed for this series.

    For me it's II, tie between revelations and brotherhood, OG, and III, similarly, but I still *love* 3.
    A lot of it was clearly rushed, but that's video game industries for ya, can't blame the devs, only those in charge of them.

    REFERENCES TO SPOILERS ETC. ETC.
    The animus could *possibly* be used by Desmond's father, he's the only one with the same DNA, and the DNA was the only reason Desmond was so important initially.

    Jumping strategically around churches and tall buildings to assassinate your target at the end was so much better than jumping around trees to play hide and seek.

    I liked 3, but way less than all the previous, loved Ezio and Altair stories. (Revelations was my favourite).

    Boat mission sucked in 3, way too many hours for nothing to happen AT ALL. Hope this one isnt't boat based, but stoked to see more non the less.

    i like connor but i was more interested in ratonhnhaké:ton. but i couldnt see them using him outside of 3. they were already thinking about doing a new time period anyway so i dont think it was the comments about connor really got to them. and i suggested they do something like the haytham bloodline trio or some shit.

    I was like super drunk when I played the first naval battle scene...I don't remember if I liked it or not....

    Idk. I'm skeptical but I suppose we'll just have to see.

    I can't wait for the series to progress into modern times.

    I loved *most* of the boat missions, and I'd be happy to see more of it (if improved, ofc), but I don't think they'd be silly enough to base a whole game off of it. I agree the location of AC1-Revelations were the best, but we're done with the colonies (this is going to the Caribbean IIRC, so who knows what to expect?

    The original rumor is they were going into the French Revolution, which AC3 actually hinted at Connor going to France in a few dialogues. The reason I doubt the Haytham bloodline *trio* will happen is that Haytham's entire past is already thoroughly explained in an official AC novel.

    Can't wait to raid ships, islands, dual wield weapons, and even explore underwater, wtf? I hope this is as good as it looks. Is black beard perhaps the head of the Templars? It also looks like we will be dipping into the life of Connors grandfather and Haythem Kenways father, Edward Kenway. Cant wait for more info on it.

    Trailer actually looks pretty sick.
    I am really curious how the story will develop. Likely picking this up.

    Blackbeard (and most other pirates) in reality lived by a code of honor very similar to that of the Assassins, and were demonized heavily by the unjust European governments and Trading Companies of their time. I have a strong feeling Blackbeard is a friend of sorts if anything.

    Freedom underpins everything in Assassin's Creed 4.

    There are eight studios working on the game. Ubisoft Montreal is leading, with Singapore, Sofia, Annecy, Kiev, Quebec, Bucharest, and Montpellier assisting.

    AC4 is set in the West Indies in 1715, the world is totally seamless.

    There are 50 unique locations including cities, jungles, ruins, coves, and caves, all with hidden treasure and adventure.

    You can harpoon whales, go diving, and loot ships.

    There will be proper assassinations with targets that you choose how to approach and take out.

    You'll fight against, and alongside, infamous brigands like Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach, Benjamin Hornigold, Calico Jack, and Anne Bonny.

    Major cities include Kingston and Havana, and there'll be dozens of smaller settlements and port towns scattered around the world to explore and pick up missions from.

    The new hero is Edward Kenway -father of AC3's Haytham. He is selfish, cocky, and charismatic.

    Edward owns his own ship, the Jackdaw. It can be upgraded, repaired, and customised, and you can manage her crew.

    As you sail the high seas you can climb the crow's nest and use a spyglass to search for ships on the horizon. This tells you how strong they are and what cargo they're hauling

    Weather and physics will play a larger role in naval combat

    There are different classes of enemy ship, including 'chargers' who'll try and ram you and shatter your hull.

    There aren't any interruptions in the transition between naval combat and boarding a ship

    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.

    Instead of Desmond, the modern day is centered around you, a 'research analysts' working at Abstergo and living out the past Edward Kenway,

    Many of the multiplayer modes from previous games will return

    It all looks fantastic. The waves are especially impressive, tossing ships around as lightning streaks across the sky. Footage shown was likely running on a development PC Ubisoft are planning an 'enhanced' PlayStation 4 version that will make use of the new controller, and have much better visuals
