There were no loading screens between your ship, land or swimming in the original so I definitely don’t expect them in a remake
Tbf there were for the major locations like Nassau and Havana. Hopefully they remove this in the remake
Werent there loading screens when entering/leaving harbor?
@@richeastjr I mean they did the remaaster for 3. They did a pretty good job on that. Updated the combat a bit and added in ranged options.
I suspect Ubi will do the same for 4. Update the combat a bit like that did with 3 remaster and probably tweak the stealth options. For example they might add in the ability to crouch. If I remember right you would automatically crouch only when in bushes in the original. They'll probably also add in costumes as well like they did with 3 remaster like evior, bayek, Altair costumes etc.
Highly doubt they'll add microtranstions. They didn't do that for 3. Also I'm really hoping they bring back the old multiplayer with it and let you access freedom cry too. It was built in the same engine and used assets from black flag. It was also a really short DLC so it would be cool if they remade that DLC too
@@aliquidgaming1068I hope they integrate the dlc locations and the French navy into the base game. Would help with making the game more of a remake rather than a remaster. Always wanted more nations ships to pirate.
@@RobotWithHumanHair. Supposedly it's a full remake. 3 was a remaster. This is rumored to be a remake from the ground up.
I think they'll implement crouching manually instead of just when you do it in bushes in the original game. It be cool if they added in more nations. They'll probably make combat feel more fluid too. 3 remaster did make combat feel a little better and added in ranged combat options. Would also be really neat if they added in some cut content or something.
trust Ubisoft to mess this up now.
@@breeezy9922 They're gonna turn connor (Edward, whoopsie) into a black woman and replace the sea shanties with beatboxing and rap.
niga we havent even seen it
I expect nothing but I am prepared for a disappointment, they just have to make a 1 to 1 remake...
Its Ubisoft, they will give the ship a stamina-bar and lock the legendary upgrades behind "micro" transactions.
A black gay lesbian@@blansbelausgsbaka
@@a.l.pvonriva3420 true all they have to do is copy the story and maybe add a few more weapon types and a god dam bug fix. But this is Ubisoft we are talking about here
Ubisoft is a literal sinking ship 🚢
No. They are figuratively. If it was literal Ubisoft would be a ship . Not the name of a software company .
@@AverageJoe483 alright Joe, their sentence was hyperbolic. Chill.
@@thatonedude I’m just sick of the term “ literally “ or “ literal “. Haha it is misused a disgustingly amount and makes people look moronic .
@@AverageJoe483 that's funny I see what you did there!
@@AverageJoe483 i guess im a moron 😭
Edward will be reworked for modern audiences
@@timothypatch5080 what does this even mean
Ubisofts bankruptcy is closer than you think as well
No they plan to sell out to the ccp
Not really one AC launches It will be all good
@@mrmeme2917 idk, Valhalla was the best selling AC in history yet Ubisoft keeps getting closer to bankruptcy
@@daethmer7834 it's because everything they made after Valhalla wasn't successful at all. AC Shadows is their last chance in my opinion and it's not looking very promising so far. It's a shame how the mighty has fallen.
It's not. They're getting bought out, dumbass
I think this is some things they should add( I hope):
1. Rum always accessible on ship or other locations
I want to get drunk on ship or visiting every island cause what kinda pirate doesn't get drunk right?
2. Drunk animations
In the game, if you drink, only camera is affected, I want Edward become drunk physically not just add motion blur effect, and add the level of drunkness, like after 1-3 drinks, Edward walk like a drunkard, wait 30 seconds and back to normal , but 3-5 drinks and you just sleeps at last checkpoint
3. Fully Customizable ships and Use Captured ships
A lot of players complain about this, Ubisoft should makes customizable ships or use captured ship, or if that's too much , just make players can fully customizable Jackdaw, from interior to everything, so I can make it into Black Pearl , Queen Anne Revenge, Flying Dutchman or any fantasy ships so I don't need to go to nexus to download mods, cause I remember in Brotherhood we can dye Ezio outfit, it's not much but it's fun to have that so they should make this available, but it's Ubisoft so I didn't have too much hope
4. Let Adewale/Anne Bonny pilot your ships
Let your firstmate pilot your ship, they also will not engage in naval combat, just autopilot while you can getting drunk on the ship while singing with the crews. And after 5 drink on ship Edward will sleep on the ship, and you can choose either fast travel or just watch the scenery like in Red Dead Redemption. The camera will stay in 3rd person so you can walk around the ship while your firstmate autopilot your ship
5. Blend in crowd animation
Make Edward blend in with crowd with crowd animations, not just stands there like a creepy stalker at 3 AM
6. Add Kraken / mermaids / or /ghost ships at night in certain locations/maybe at the end of the map
Cause why not? Make the game more fun
7. Enhanced sea weather/effects
Higher/bigger rogue waves, whirlpool, thick fog
8. Customizable forts/ Able to conquer other Islands
Customize all forts & make available island that can be captured/conquered , now I feel more like true successful pirate emperor/Yonkou
9. Ship boarding system in rogue
Your ship can be boarded like in AC Rogue
10. More unique naval/pirate mission with Blackbeard & other Pirate captain
For example, when Edward found unique treasure maps (maybe like 15 unique treasure maps) Edward can choose who to invite : Blackbeard /Rackham/Ben/Kid/ Vane to accompany you, and different characters gives you different cutscenes or storylines
11. Mutiny/Crew Betrayal
An annoying features but maybe like every crew you rescue or buy at tavern, maybe 3 or 4 people will commit mutiny, and there will be fights on ship like a tavern fight, if you lose , you will left at desserted island or random places, and you need to find information when your ship last seen, searching infos at tavern, random people, guards, or even NPC conversations, But if you win , you can choose how the betrayer die: hang them upside down on your ship /shot/feed them to sharks
12. Unique Interactions/dialogue when boarding different Ships
Different cutscenes/interaction/dialogues when meeting /Spanish/French/British/Pirate Hunter/Privateer/ Another Pirate
13. Wanted Posters
Bring back wanted poster from AC II, if you're wanted level too high some locals gonna talk about you in their dialogue , some gonna try to inform the local soldiers, kill them before they give the information, and rip off the wanted poster will decrease the wanted meter a bit
I think that's what they should do in the next remaster, but I think they just enhanced graphics, but I do hope they add things like this, do comment about your thoughts on this
If this is the team did skulls and bones for remake will we are fuck. We all saw how that game did.
You mean the same team that did the original? Skull and bones Devs did black flag if you didn't know that.
@@mohammadashikurrahman7530 it was probably different developers back then - directors, game designers etc. It's been many years. Also, the Skull and Bones studio only worked on the naval gameplay aspect of ACIV
@@mohammadashikurrahman7530 not hat I am seeing
@@mohammadashikurrahman7530 Developed by Ubisoft Singapore, this pirate-themed game was released in February 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Players take on the role of a shipwrecked pirate who must navigate currents, weather, and fight battles to become the greatest pirate of the Indian Ocean. Development of the game began in 2013 and was delayed multiple times due to employee turnover, strategy changes, and other factors
They also co produced ac syndicate, what’s your point?
Im fine with my old copy. im not paying for a remastered version just to end up with a worse product with microtransactions and a higher price
It'd not going to be a remaster, it is a REMAKE meaning they are remaking the game from the ground up! A remaster is just an upgrade to the current game, meaning better graphics and better fps to an already made game
@@FNOstvn_Musicbetter graphics by Ubisoft? Yeah not possible at least at the state there in now.
@@DocterBumSki I was stating the difference between a remaster and a remake 💀
@@DocterBumSki Fucking Illiterate
@@DocterBumSkiActually illiterate
I'm never giving Ubisoft money again.
I Hope they add more countries in black flag, the Portuguese ships are only present when you go to South Africa and the French are only in the DLC, it’d be really cool if we could see more nations ships, more victims for our pirate fleet.
I just looked at some screenshots of Black Flag, and it looks fine. If I want to play it again, I'll just use the copy I already have, rather than whatever lazy, unoptimised, microtransaction-riddled slop they push out.
If it's new content at the store I wouldn't hate it but if it's content that was already in the previous game that you would have to pay for then hell nah
This is exACTLY how I feel. They won't be getting my nostalgia money
Wdym you already have a copy? I thought ubi said you don't own it ever? At all!
But but...what about new and improved Black Flag with blackjack and season pass? Ubi really needs the money...
I don't get the point in this, the remaster was fine. This is an act of desperation from a company reeling at its terrible business decisions.
Wait till they censor a buncha stuff
Edward will be gae
I remember in the old days, thinking that slowly but surely they’d take us closer and closer to modern day with the Animus.
Then the last game would be Desmond and crew vs the Templars in modern times and finally ending the war.
Man those were the days, when AC got me excited.
There was that one mission in Watch Dogs involving the Assassin Brotherhood. Guess that went nowhere...
You can't have closure so long as a franchise can be milked
Same it really blows how they just abandoned such a great set up for a story. It was realky getting good, and you can tell they just stopped putting passion into the story
if your new idea is shit , just remake the popular old one , classic move from gaming industry.
Remakes are the only way you can still have golden age gameplay intact without more monetizations.
Just play the old one.
These remakes are becoming cringe.
Nah dude it's 30 FPS on consoles and I can't deal with that ! I think BF Remake will look gorgeous
@mrmeme2917 can't deal with that lol!
Let's at least get remakes of AC 1 FIRST ya feel. But even further than that, we need remakes of gamecube/ ps2 games before the gen after
@@mrmeme2917 They could have just released a patch to unlock the FPS on PS4 Pro and PS5. The graphics are still very good imo.
@@mrmeme2917why play on console ?? I have the ac blackflag original in steam .. its still run fantastic with good graphic in 2024 with high FPS
@@mrmeme2917 exactly, likewise
Imagine Edward with rainbow costume and lipstick. In Ubisoft you shall trust..
The best AC game by far for me, I'm a little apprehensive given Skull and bones released 11 years later and didn't look too much better and it's the same Ubisoft Singapore studio.
They didn't even have to make skull and bones, they literally have a good pirate game. All they had to do is make AC black flag a co-op and then make a remake, but they can't even do that?
Ubisoft trying to .....
Turn the ship around.
A remake from Ubisoft. Oh boy, I can't wait to see how they modernize this one for the modern audience while releasing it broken for 130€ and not owning the game.
What? The eff are you on about?
"My ring doorbell is going off for whatever reason"
your neighbor whose house is burning down and needs help
I kinda hope they add in a few new cutscenes, Inspired by a chapter from the AC 4 novel, which shows us a bigger glimpse into Edward's life in England, before he went to the Carribbean, including how he first met Jennifer Scott, his love interest.
It's a very insightful chapter of the novel that shows more of Edward Kenway's backstory
Doesn’t need a remake, remake AC 1 instead
No
black flag is the best selling AC, thats why remake
@@MrWizkhalifa16 it’s also a ps4 game that doesn’t need to be remade
It does need a remake (I know the graphics are good already but they are not upto 2024 standards) & Black Flag is one of my Fav games of all time
So if they can improve the graphics & still preserve the original feel... I'm all here for it
Also AC1 was pretty trash gameplay wise (They would need to change a lot for it to be an enjoyable experience in 2024)
@@redNwhitePISCES that’s why they call it a remake, what you want for black flag is a graphical remaster. Remakes change parts of story, gameplay, graphics and a lot more. So AC 1 is the most deserving of a remake
No thanks. I’ll stick with the original
Nah, you’ll buy the remake like everyone else
Honestly if it comes out and its good and not overprived ill buy it
@@Notorious-y3i I have not bought an Ubisoft game since Black Flag on sale a decade ago. Why would I start now?
The black flag remake will sale
As long as they don't do anything to the story of the game I am all for it @@Zer0Hour17
@@Zer0Hour17 then why are you watching this video and commenting as if you cared in the first place?
Black Flag is still glorious on PC.
@@MerryBlind too bad the gameplay sucks
@@kluneberg8952 Ok Mr. Contrarian
It doesnt look bad for its age. Glorious might be stretch though lol
@@saumayagoel234 lol that’s fair
If you can accept the 60fps limit.
Ubisoft should also remaster call of juarez gunslinger and the 1st splinter cell
They are working on a splinter cell remake
Watch them make Edward a female for modern audiences.
I’ve been an AC fan since the first game and I was about 20 years old. A multiplayer concept is one I’ve been dying for.
I hope they add in the ability to call your fleet to help you, and level up the ships buy sending on missions , and have that be offline features because that would be cool, and maybe call your crew to help out too that could be cool
Meh, im fine with the original copy, looks great on my PC in 4k anyway, I really dont trust these guys to not find things that are "problematic" and not change them.
Bought Black Flag March 2023 - still haven't got to it...
Id argue real fans of AC have been waiting and asking for a while now that Ubi bring multiplayer back to AC. The tacked on multiplayer mode was so much fun. Even unity coop was decent fun. Also rumors are the AC multiplayer coming out is going to be free.
Yh I played lot of pvp multiplayer back in the day. Looking forward to it
@@saumayagoel234 same. I still play them now on PC from time to time. The Arkham games and assassin's Creed(played them all) are some of the older games I always go back to play.
Side note. I know people are hating shadows, but I'm going to buy it. I played every AC at launch since AC1. Read all the books, comics, watched the movie and animated shorts. Even played the mobile games, DS games and PSP game. Even had the board game. Huge AC fan and batman fan.
While shadows has some bad press and bad decisions, I honestly think it still looks fun to play and mess around in.
@@aliquidgaming1068Yh nice to see knowledgeable Ac fans. Looking forward to Ac Shadows as well
@@saumayagoel234 thanks
Also hoping for the remaster they bring back the black flag multiplayer and freedom cry with it
Brain dead fool white knighting all over the comments for ubisoft, in literally every aspect ac shadows looks like garbage quite it seems like ur taste buying a game anyway even tho its shit makes these companies think what they do is ok, you are the problem. Idiot @@aliquidgaming1068
Edward will probably be turned into a black native trans gender fluid American.
We all know what they'll turn it into. They'll claim they only had enough money for one L in the title, but it will all be on purpose..
All these years, I've been asking Ubisoft to make an Assassin's creed and a splinter cell remake.
But looking into the recent controversies, I hope they better not.
You mean the over exaggerated controversies that doesn't exist.
If they can add the destruction and physics they have from shadows that would be amazing. Especially with naval combat.
I'm kinda excited for a remaster of black flag, I'm playing through it for the first time now and if it comes when it seems like it will, that's a good time for me to go back and replay it
Black Flag was the only game where I actually gathered EVERYTHING, even all the fragments. It was so good.
Being a dev at any Ubisoft studio must be so exhausting 😂
What a time to be alive 2 years in development for a remaster is considered quick
It's a remake.
@@minbari73 they call it that but i would highly doubt theyre rebuilding the game from the ground up, just upgrading the graphics is what most objectively refer to as a remaster
Since the news of the remake ive been dreaming about how it would feel like to play ac black flag but in more upgraded fully scaled up Graphics
Hopefully they update the gameplay/combat. I think we all admit those tailing missions need to go, in their past form at the very least. lol
@@caseyanders1601 in terms of the story and missions it's not uncomfortable for me to play them the same way it was in the original
Although if they change it then even better but I am sure if this is a remake then the combat will definitely be more smooth
I was kind of hoping the remakes just change the modern day, as in like there’s an in game reason we’re replaying it and the remakes are like with Basim as the modern day protagonist utilizing the animus to gain skills using memories the Assassins have access to in their databases is all I’d really want changed besides upgraded graphics. So just like a few new modern day missions we unlock for Basim using the skills and talking about the experiences he got utilizing those memories in Invictus to help us understand how the setting for Invictus came to be if that makes sense. Since it sounds like the setting for Invictus is based in the future, so I want like Flashback missions of Basim unlocked by these remakes when we reach certain mile markers that help actively show us what brought the Assassins to the point their in. Just to give us bonus lore for modern day us just my biggest hope as someone who’s always been super invested in the modern day is my dream outcome since it sounds like it might be less of a focus in the games themselves with all of it just being purely in Invictus from what it sounds like based on rumors and speculation.
Really depends on whether this will be a true 'remake' or a modern audience 'reimagining'
I bet it will be changed to be less problematic
The way you say "skull" fascinates me.
oh HELL NO! Don't mess this classic! They will probably make Edward Kenway chase for booty. Adewale's most likely.
PRONOUNS! COMMENCE MELTDOWN
Blackflag is the only thing that can ubisolft put back on the map if they make remake good
I just hope they use this as a base for Skull and Bones 2 so it has land combat.
On the subject of Jade, I really wish this extra time wasn't just a delay due to less resources being devoted to it. The idea that it's strictly a mobile game just feels absurd to me. A PC version that's graphically similar to Shadows would be amazing and China as a setting deserves that.
If they don't fix the 500+ jumps it takes to get the animus shard that is misplaced in the tree off the coast of "Florida" in Black Flag I am going to lose my absolute sh*t. 🤣
"Introducing the flag pass, 100 levels of rewards"....
This is literally one of the best AC games in the franchise and was way ahead of its time during its release, I struggle to see what improvements they can make ?
We've had multi-playerin AC before and miss it.
Coalition of Gamers pretty much broke this news late september before insider gaming. I found it scrounging around X, albeit not as much info as what insider gaming is detailing but still crazy.
Black Flag made for the modern audience, Edward Kenway going LGBT and disabled, paving the way to have Kenway replaced with a random woman that is irrelevant to his core story? Hard Pass. You know someone at Ubislop just read this and gushed. They can delay it to the year 2096.
Touch grass. Holy shit
This fan base needs a win seriously. So many bad decisions from corporate, just please give us something good.
Wouldn't count on it
They Should make Edward Chinese this time. Would sell better in china.
Nah, just name him Edward "Sun Wukong" Kenway and it'll sell 30 million copies.
Nah they should make him black and add hiphop music
Oh no! I'm worried! Hopefully no "modern audience" pushes.
There never has been any for assassin's creed. Us like old fans know well.
Sooner? Well let's hope we don't get another GTA The definitive edition version of black flag.
Sounds like a slightly upgraded remaster... and I loved Black Flag
An actual reason to play a Ubisoft game annnddd it’s a remake from 2014. Well it’s better than nothing.
It is one of their best ones. Hopefully they don't wokify it.
@@robertlawrence9000 they will
😟
It's even worse for far cry fans dude... FC3 came out in 2012 and FC2 wich is to most the OG expierence was 2008 dude...
@ghstproject would love a face cry 2 remake but then again this isn't the same ubisoft as back then, I genuinely don't understand how they could mess this up, if they do it's actually over, tbh it's already over for them but this will be funny af if they fail because you genuinely just can't
Watching your video while waiting for the original original Black Flag to download. We are one year into starting our own business. Doing well, but can’t upgrade my gaming laptop yet. So, I’m buying heavily discounted old games that my old system can run. It has actually been fun playing the old AC games!
Ok, the game is launching! It looks great! I’m outa here!
This is the only thing that can save ubi at this point... they better not mess this up
Of course the AC BF remake is closer than you thought! I mean if tencent buys ubisoft the remake is going to release before AC shadows to undo all the damage and secure some fundings for the future of layoffsoft! LMAO
Over 12 months away isn't closer than i thought though.
Black Flag remake is a smart idea since GTA 6 is releasing around then.
AC Black Flag. Don't need a REMAKE. It was perfect.
however, Ubisoft's destruction is even closer, something that is exactly what we are thinking
Can't wait bro!
I was about to say, I don’t remember this part of the stream…
All I would lie in a remake is updated graphics. If they change anything else we’re cooked.
There's plenty of room for improvement even in spite of it being one of the best in the series.
I believe Luke thinks Ubi releasing dual style games, at the same time is a darn good idea! 🙌🏼✅
would be hilarious if they pull a Call of Duty and they will force you to buy ac shadows to get ac4 remaster
@@Poleskeris they already did with the ac3 hd remake
I loved playing Black Flag so much! I'm buying a remake for sure.
Back in 23 I bought every single assassin’s creed game with all the DLC so I have all the originals I will stick with those
That doesn't make sense. Why would you buy all those if you weren't going to buy in the future?
I'm salavating at the future news of The Black Flag remake absolutely crushing the multiplayer game in sales and player numbers. It's going to be a glorious day.
You sir are delusional you think after all these past fuck up all of a sudden they are going to give you what you want ahahahahaahah
I get upset every year AC doesn’t have MP Last AC was Valhalla for me when it came to steam for $15 prior to that, AC unity AC Mp back in the day was amazing and needs to be a every game situation
HARD agree. It was one of the most original, most fun MP's ever. There was a whole community around it too
Hopefully they remaster the companion app too
Not gonna lie. When playing black flag the first time I remember playing in 4k with raytracing. But when looking at the game now, holy cow that game needs a remake.
Needs more work if its a remake tbh
Can they please just give us a remake of the OG before all hope is lost. That’s all I want
AC has had a mp before though. It was so original and fun
I can’t wait for it to come out but I’m hoping they do it right and don’t frig it up!!
They better not change the music
I honestly would love an AC3 remake the most. I live what they did with that game. And colonial Boston and the woods and surrounding settlements are so great to me. I also loved the hathem intro and the main charecter and the fighting style as a whole. (his name is slipping my memory)
Your in the minority
@@JustxLiving909 I know.
Im expecting that that Shadow's will be delayed and will be bundled with Black Flag and Invictus.
Yes! Another remake why not!
The Singapore team? First AAAAA game confirmed.
Yeah I’m good. Should’ve remade ac 1 and remastered unity then make all the games 60fps on ps5 and Xbox
The only reason I would play BF remake is for more complex ship behavior. The difference between a broad reach and a close-hauled sail should be significant.
One of the few “large” games that I 100 percented ! Addicting
But black flag had its own multiplayer mode is that coming back with the remake or will Invictus take its place
Ubislop gonna mess it up somehow 😂 they gonna make Blackbeard a woman who identifies as Neptune.
black flag is like 3rd or 4th best in my opinion, I think 2 and brotherhood clear easily, and then maybe Syndicate or Unity but that could easily be changed haven't played any of these games in a while
I hope it will be like MGS snake eater
I feel like they could/ will just take Skull and Bones assets and put in BF into it
Featuring Elaine Kenway.
All they had to do is increase the framerate cap and resolution on the current gen consoles
what pisses me off is that these companies only remake or listen to the audience ONLY when they are going bankrupt,ubisoft are scared to death right now trying to do ANYTHING to stay in the market..it's sad that it came to this..
If they add a multiplayer mode that fullfills the pirate fantasy to it's fullest they got a goldmine to exploit
The OG had one
Amazing I was waiting for this
