Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag review

Posted : 11 years, 1 month ago on 4 March 2013 12:36

When you have the makings of a saga of 50 million copies, the last chapter of which has sold over 10 million units, it is difficult to resist the temptation to produce an episode a year. Not by chance we find each fall Ubisoft in good company with other well-known "serial seller" such as Activision, Electronic Arts and Konami, along with their Call of Duty, FIFA and PES. That's why the announcement of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is not surprising that much, perhaps more amazed when the cause of the repeated leaks that Ubisoft forced to hastily raise the curtain on a title that was supposed to remain secret for a few more hours.
On the other hand, the interest around the brand of Assassin's Creed has always been very high, even for hackers. As can be seen from the title, however, this time the appointment is a bit 'more special than usual because we are not in front of an expansion, as in the case of Brotherhood and Revelations, but a new chapter in the series. And you do not mislead by the subtitle (usually absent in the main episodes), or the setting marinara highly successful last year. This time the protagonist and therefore changes the numbering of the series.
Assassin's Creed IV: BlackFlag.
Ubisoft though, maybe a little careful not to confuse the casual user, with Black Flag back in time a couple of generations, narrating a story located right next to the Assassin's Creed III. Here is the publisher transalpine leave Connor to his fate Kenway, the Indian fighter still involved in the recent expansion called The Tyranny of George Washington, and introduce his grandfather, Edward Kenway. Which, according to what we saw on the occasion of its world conference in London, appears much more aggressive and charismatic nephew.
According to Ubisoft development of Black Flag would begin in the summer of 2011. In that year came the fourth feature film dedicated to Pirates of the Caribbean, "Beyond the borders of the sea", which brought the total earnings of the quartet Disney license plate above the threshold of three billion dollars. Here then is a possible explanation for the choice to bow to one of the most popular trend in recent years, with a chapter set in the Caribbean islands. Visit such places like Havana, Kingston and Nassau, famous for being populated by unscrupulous appears whose pastime was accost the boats of others to plunder the assets. All things that we can do ourselves, expanding the already popular mechanical naval Assassin's Creed III, with the difference that this time the boats we really abbordarle, making off with his sword drawn towards the opposing captain.
The game features as usual a series of characters that will be the shoulder to Edward Kenway, but the real actor will be our ship, the Jackdaw, we can improve our earnings by investing in parameters such as speed, strength and firepower. Operation this highly recommended, if it is true that we will face even powerful ships that we "greet" with about a hundred guns.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is not, however, only chases across the roofs of the Caribbean and fighting in the open sea, but a kind of Grand Theft Auto pirate we will explore some fifty different locations, seamlessly. And we will not just for the sake of exploring the tropical jungles or to walk on the heavenly shore of the Bahamas, but to discover the inevitable treasures that can be expected to play in setting pirate. We can not just look at the ruins of Maia or in inaccessible caves but even the bottom of the sea, now finally explored in depth. And if you do not know how to pass the time, pace WWF can also go hunting for whales, in spite of his grandson Connor in Assassin's Creed III more than bears and wolves could not hunt.
For release next fall for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii U and PS4, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag may not be the revolution that everyone expected but with its setting "true naval open world", as he called the same Ubisoft
