Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag now officially announced, but correspond to the annual cycle for the series? Dave Cook of VG247 tried to weigh the pros and cons of such a business model.
I do not like Assassin's Creed 3.When I was in the review tried to assess the open world of the third part, I struggled to find positive points. For me it was a vivid expression of the wrong that today is present in today's games. Developers from
Ubisoft Montreal miraculously managed to take quite dense geography of colonial America and make the players feel it as a closed corridor, devoid of choices and opportunities.
Developers blunder. The combat system is reduced to a conceptual consisting of pressing a single button; the plot was too confusing, and mechanics of running around free was too elaborate, often becomes an obstacle. Running in a straight line has become routine, and the game itself filled bugs.
You can not just take a huge open world, fill it with useless side-quests and proud of it. I went through the game completely, without spending a penny game currency for new equipment or by hunting. Micro-transaction system is better not to mention to avoid abuse.
Ubisoft We realized that ran, so special attention in the fourth part decided to pay travel and sea battle with pirates - and here the company made the right decision.Will the new part to redeem the previous? Well, if our first impressions at least worth something, then yes. However, I am relatively optimistic about the possibility of the publisher to get back on course.
Protagonist
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Edward will Kenuey - pirate assassin who travels to various islands of the Caribbean in search of prey and adventure, as well as booze and women. A major step on
Ubisoft is that Kenuey able to swim at an incredibly huge field open-world game with a bunch of islands, underwater treasures and port cities. There is a certain resemblance to
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
Judging by the official trailer, the game will be more "dark" than previous games in the series, but some things still remain unclear.We see how the protagonist skillfully owns four guns and swords, but I'm still concerned that his actions again be reduced to the click of a button, because the fight in
Assassin's Creed 3 I am creating the impression that you seem not control what is happening. It was boring and is separated from the player.
There is a feeling that
Black Flag - This is the answer
Ubisoft the positive response of marine gameplay
Assassin's Creed 3. Of course, the game's development began more than a year ago, the developers have previously been assured that the ships
AC3 will be the most positive element of the game. However, I am worried that will focus on navigation, rather than the elements for which we truly love the franchise.
The
Assassin's Creed 2 It was a rich game world with colorful characters and a fascinating history. Now that Desmond can be considered history
Ubisoft We should provide us with a strong contemporary character that is approved and the players and critics.
Ubisoft may come unexpectedly, and make the main character a girl. The idea that she will manage Edward is unlikely, but it probably was the more "bastard". Collision characters minimum guarantees an intriguing storyline. You will love, and at the same time to hate Kenueya.
The main fear for me is still open world. Kolonikalnye centers
AC3 We were curious, but played a minimal role in interactive or value. Given that
Ubisoft failed to create an exciting gaming space, you can guess the reasons for concern.
Seamless game worlds are not so easy to create and save even more interest in them. The
Far Cry 3 the developers have managed to create a fascinating environment, allowing players to explore every bit of land, every cave and hut.
Assassin's Creed 3 I had this intriguing world, both in
Far Cry 3And here's why
Ubisoft you need to take as an example of it is the latter title.
On paper, the concept of an open world with sea travel is ambitious, but somewhat improbable. I sincerely hope
Ubisoft in
Black Flag create a truly epic scale, as I spent many hours playing in the trilogy of Ezio and I would go back in a new space after failure
AC3.
This is possible, but I fear that the cycle of "the game of the year" can be a barrier to successful development.
Call of Duty It is in the same cycle, and nothing new to offer to players every year the same linear corridor shooter. Open World requires time and attention to detail. That's why
Red Dead Redemption It took five years to develop.
Too Awesome desire to release
Black Flags can be quickly fatal to
UbisoftBut I hope they know what they are doing.
Marine mission AC4: Black Flag They amount to 40%
According to the game magazine
PC Gamer, about 40% of the company's adventure story action
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag It will take place in the sea, while on land the mission will take 60% satisfaction.
We already know that the side quests will also take place in the sea such as scuba diving in search of treasure, sunken vessels, and of course, the hunting of whales, because of which the organization PETA accused managed
Assassin's Creed IV in promoting animal abuse.
Exit
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag expected October 29, 2013.
