Black Flag Remastered

[Chillshotz]

I want to start really playing it but it does look like this game needs to be remastered 1 notch equal to Assassin Creed Odyssey. Better unit models waters and seas. As "The" Pirate Assassins Creed. More open world. Better interactions and new storylines.

Just sayin'.

Looks perfect! Blackflag remaster 2022.

I would not like. With modifications, the game looks much better than if they made a stripped-down and crooked remaster.
They have repeatedly spoiled their products with bad remasters.
Modders do it much better. And do not cut anything from the game.

If it had the same notch with ac Odyssey.. you know. It's just that this game was well thought of that you notice it has such good storylines. The effort when they created it is obvious.

Really?

It could do with updating. The combat and movement is quite irritating at times. Both overly sensitive (running/climbing) and janky and unresponsive (sword combat/boarding combat)

Ideally, I want this game but in the style of the new AC games. A proper pirate action RPG with this quality, like most fans want.

i think there's a remaster coming or it'll be somehow integrated in infinity because i posted how its out the store like they did with skyrim before it's 37th release and it got taken down. i look forward to it tho, this was my favorite assassins creed besides the ones with ezio.

Have you read what I've written or simply had the urge to reply only for the sake of... replying?
And with that being said...

Don't really feel like this deserves a reply. As it stands though, black flag has a pretty terrible open world, and coming out in 2013 is no excuse. There were plenty of other open world games at the time that did almost everything better, this game rides solely on its naval combat and parkour. There are only 2 major cities, and I feel like its a disgrace to call them that. They were miniature, they introduced almost nothing new to the parkour aspect of the game, and they completely removed the purpose of blending with crowds or hiring groups.

Don't get me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ started on the 80 tiny "uncharted" islands solely devoted to wasting your time. Rogue is an improvement in EVERY. SINGLE. WAY. And it amazes me that AC fans could possibly hold AC4 in a higher regard. It desperately needs a remake, because even with AC3's bugginess it barely holds a candle to its predecessors in terms of actual ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ content

It's open world isn't as solid as AC: Rogue I know, but that game came a few years afterwards and they had time to polish the rough edges that were left behind in AC IV: Black Flag. And even despite Rogue open world is better designed and the game acting smoother in fact it's playing lenght is way shorter and has a way less enticing storyline to keep me hooked into it as it happened with AC: IV. Thus, that's why I still hold AC IV in a higher regard position within the franchise.

And since you're just trying to be picky to trash down the game, let's try to go through facts:

1) I do still blend in occasion upon AC IV but in previous AC's I rarely blended with the crowd because going through roof tops was an easier mode to track people and way more cleaner/effective to do that sort of missions. If you still prefer to do it the more inneffective way, then that's your choice.

2) If the game is passed into the Caribeans, it's only natural that having a higher % of smaller islands trying to minimally mimic the real Geography of that region. Again, it's a problem wiht your own perception of the game and not ours.

3) There are 3 major cities:
- Habana;
- Nassau;
- Kingston.
And just to be fair... how many big cities had AC III again? They might've been bigger than AC IV's ones but with that horrid character movement I simply preferred to be upon forest's open spaces, pretty much like actual (native American) Indian would too.

And compared to previous game titles of the franchise this one allowed to have way more fluid parkour movement than those in which for me to climb and jump from one roof top into the other always had to be pressing the Running + Jump key apart the directional buttons that I wanted my character to head into and even still many times it didn't reacted as I wanted/intended. So, if you're making up stuff as you go, at least try to make it sound credible in the very least.
Also, you don't need to curse like a Pirate to make your points sound more valid. In fact, upon my debate meter it simply goes down whenever you use cursing as if it was "credit is due" debating tool.

4) If you don't hire groups that's up to you too. I rarely used those in previous AC games and didn't felt the need to use those to my advantage apart a few moments.
And also Great Inagua's island (i.e., our base of operations) bonuses through upgrades make the nearest Pirate bunch automatically kick into a fight if I'm already in one.

5) It's only natural that you mistakingly confuse time period with less content. In Both Connor's and Edward's Kenway time frame periods armours weren't used at all and so the franchise addopted that model for both (buggier than heck) AC III and also for AC IV and someone inside UbiSoft's dev' team decided to keep that pattern until thus far. Thus, being reallistic to you is simply having "less content" and you simply disregarded the compelling storyline that the game holds.

For instance, I simply adore the AC III storyline, but simply didn't enjoy the game that much merely due to character handling being a real sore pain in the proverbial a**e. When they've remade the game I immediatelly acquired it to replay it properly. A thing that, in fact they should've decently have patched far too many years ago as they should even if to merely to maintain a fair margin of credibillity amongst the paying customers / fans (like for ex. Blizzard and EA used to do with their games when that was the industry's standard).

Fewer bugs would have been nice. Just sayin'

When compared to AC III it's nearly bug free. What are you really talking about here? Or you're simply one of those: "Let's reply just for the sake of replying"?
And I say this because the "just sayin'" doesn't hold much water when properly debating and not providing any further proof(s) to support your claim and PoV's (points of view).

If you want to simp for AC4, thats ok. Just don't pretend like it has a better storyline, better playable areas, or wasn't bum rushed out the door. AC Rogue didn't come out years later, it came out ONE YEAR after. And yet, there is less backtracking, less monotonous island hopping, legitimately more plot than AC4 could've dreamed of having, and less than half the bugs

[The Chocobo Racer]

Assassins Creed 4 is like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Assassins Creed 2, it starts out with a young man on his own personal journey, before turning to the brotherhood, being inspired by their actions and his own experiences. In AC4, it is heavily implied you're responsible for the looting of civilians, have no issues with killing mostly innocent people, and your assassin compatriots really don't give a ♥♥♥♥. This is the Creed at its absolute lowest, and the writing is just as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to match. I loved this game when I was 12, but was I really supposed to be attached to Stede Bonnet after his handful of in-game appearances? Hell, the only pirate I gave a damn about was blackbeard, and that was because of his effusive and overplayed personality. He dominated every second of his screentime, and it shows. Everybody else? Not so much. Especially characters like Rackham, Mary Reed, and Anne Bonny.

[The Chocobo Racer]

Unless this is your first Assassins Creed, there's really no excuse for defending this game. The parkour is as bad as it was in AC3, removing some of the freedom and control of the parkour, such as precise execution of drops, deferentiating contextual actions such as drops dependent on button timing, and even removing the arms and legs controls. Parkour was smooth 80% of the time, but the last 20% really reminds you of how ♥♥♥♥ its gotten since brotherhood.

Thank god AC rogue is a thing, because it fixes the issues with both its predecessors (Butchered storyline with noticeable plot inconsistencies and gameplay features designed to maximize playtime [AC4], and butchered gameplay with such a melancholy and depressive plot that you genuinely feel unhappy to play it [AC3])

Look, I have no problem with you liking AC4. Some people unironically like dumpster fire games like Arma or Pokemon too. But trying to argue that these games are masterpieces when they're systematically outclassed by other, far more polished games, is an exercise in displaying ignorance

[The Chocobo Racer]

sorry, I tried to give you the reader's digest version of my critique on your lack of, well, knowing-what-the-hell-you're-talking-about. Feel free to reply with more poorly thought out, downright lies about the game's content (in comparison to its legitimately superior predecessors). Unlike this time though, I can't really be compelled to reply again. Smarter people than me have tried to convince dumber people than some (not naming names) about why they're wrong, and for the most part, it never works. Stubbornness is a symptom of low intelligence, and that disease has no cure

[Madmonkey68]

It's very unoptimized now so I'm all for a remaster. Gameplay, I feel they don't necessarily need to touch as its quite good already.

Imho, it seems a bit unrealistic to be asking for that nearly a decade after of when the game was initially released.

It's not really unrealistic as it happens more often than you'd think. It's a popular game so why wouldn't they want to remaster it to make some extra money from it?

Because it's a highly overrated and repetitive experience. It's fine as it exists now, and I'd rather them make a new and unique AC experience.
