Today's leak was visible via a countdown page on Ubisoft's website (spotted by Gaming Everything). PlayStation 3 players will once again get an extra hour of bonus Assassin's Creed 4 gameplay. Ubisoft officially announced Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag yesterday after a slew of leaks, and mentioned a release for the game on PC, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360. The game will be available on both current and next-gen consoles, the page continued - presumably both PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's next Xbox. ORIGINAL STORY: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will be launched on 29th October 2013, a hastily-edited page on Ubisoft's website has revealed.

We'll have a full preview of the game at 5pm, if there's anything left that hasn't leaked by then. The footage confirms the black bearded fellow in the artwork below as Blackbeard himself, and there's plenty of action with new pirate assassin Edward Kenway. This time it's the game's CGI reveal trailer, which appeared online over the weekend. A brilliant pirate game, then, but not a vintage Assassin’s Creed.UPDATE: Another day, another Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag leak.

The fact that it regularly departs so markedly from the core series is-bizarrely-Black Flag’s greatest strength, and it’s only when concessions are made to the origins of Assassin’s Creed that the quality drops. Accept that it’s really a game about pirates, not assassins, and you’ll love filling the boots of Edward Kenway for 30-40 hours. I certainly felt special.Īssassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is an imperfect game, for sure, but I found the overall experience immensely enjoyable. Few games treat fans with such playful respect. Ubisoft even trolls players at one point, letting players access a leaked document that discusses possible future locations for the AC series. This alone ensures that there’s enough in-jokes and fan pleasing stuff in the out-of-Animus world to satisfy long term fans. Essentially, the game is about Abstergo making the latest Assassin’s Creed game, yeah? It’s very, very self-referential, but handled superbly well. You play as a random Abstergo employee, who dips into the Animus as part of research for a pirate game. So, yeah, for a game called ‘Assassin’s Creed’ there’s very little actual assassination. Made me feel warm and cosy, a dark glimpse into my own psyche that I’ll ignore for now. Tellingly, I only recall one assassination mission, near the end, which captures the creative magic that made AC2 such a runaway success. It’s a stark contrast to GTA 5’s smart, original mission design, and something that needs examining before the next game. Tailing targets, eavesdropping on conversations, even following ships in the Jackdaw-they’re great the first few times you do them, but Black Flag just repeats the same mission types over and over. Sadly, the game does fall apart during some of the main missions, which rely too heavily on repetition of systems that have barely evolved since the original game.
Even the shark / whale hunting is feels different and satisfying every time you climb into the Jackdaw’s fishing boat. While grabbing all the Animus shards is a teeth-grinding exercise in compulsive ‘stuff collection’, the Assassin contracts and Templar hunts offer refreshingly creative breaks from the core story. Side missions themselves are a mixed bags of quality. Oh, have you stopped singing? I didn’t tell you to stop did I? No. I feel a definite sense of serenity as I chop across the ocean with my crew singing sea shanties, and pointing out areas of interest. Again, though, because the world is such a pleasant, yet unpredictable place to be thanks to random weather changes, getting to these collectables is half the fun. Most of the other collectables just appear on your map, which means that finding them requires time, rather than actual skill or smarts.

So, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are technically fantastic-they push the respective hardware to their limits. There’s a loss of vibrancy in the textures, so PS3’s lush jungles and azure seas aren’t quite as deep and colourful, and the environments don’t feel as alive because the detailed foliage effects are exclusive to next-gen. On current-gen the game looks beautiful, and even the amazing wave effects are comparable across formats. I played through AC4 on PS4, but had a chance to try the final PS3/360 versions.
