After the disappointment that was Assassin’s Creed III, I thought I was completely done with the series. Not that I thought the fourth entry would end up being bad, just that I was burnt out, that they’d wrung out every drop of enjoyment that I could find from hiding in haystacks and stabbing dudes. Then I saw some gameplay footage at E3 for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and my excitement was rejuvenated. This game looks like it’s a fully interactive, action-adventure version of Sid Meier’s Pirates! — and I can’t wait to find out more. Luckily, Ubisoft has sent us this fourteen minute video preview, showing us exactly how we’re going to sail the high seas, board ships, dig for treasure, and explore a seamlessly giant open world. Check it out after the break, and be sure to look for Asssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U on October 29th, and next-gen consoles and PC at a later date.
I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
