according to gamespot the main character in Black Flag is Edward Kenway, the father of Haytham Kenway from last year's Assassin's Creed III. Edward is described as a privateer, assassin, and "occasional" pirate.Black Flag will be set in the Caribbean. Players will reportedly get to travel to multiple islands, including Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas.

I doubt they could make it any worse than ACIII.

Hopefully the game gets some proper QA and playtesting. Least it sounds like the best parts of ACIII are going to be included in this game. Naval and the Kenways. If Edward is anything like Haytham then the character is going to be a little more interesting than Connor.

I just hope this isn't a clone of AC3. AC3 did not live up to my expectations, but from what I heard.. Guns are back, Naval Warfare are back.. and forests with animals are back. Oh wait, doesn't that sound the exact same as AC3? I am a huge AC fan (Bought AC1 on launch + own every AC game except for the ones on mobile)... I don't really like the direction they are going to be honest.

The reason attracted me to the AC series was the history and the unknown factor of the west. Now, they are just staying in this Eastern part of the world really irritates me. Not much would change from AC3 to AC4. I guess I should wait till Monday and see some gameplay, and hope for the best.

How did you guys warm to the main assassin's character in AC3? I warmed very quickly to ezio from altier but I'm not digging the AC3 character from what I've seen. I could get on board with pirates though :D (zing!)

I half expected the pirate at the end to say "assasin's creed 4 black flag...... yargh!)

is it even possible to finish AC3? I played like seven hours and the guy that's on the cover WASN'T EVEN BORN YET! how long is this monster? I gave up, that was in December I think. will eventually get back into it, and will likely get AC4. I applaud long games, it's awesome to get that much for our money, but realistically most of us simply don't have the time!

It is about as long as Revelations (25-30 hours). That is including all the side missions. Not the filler rubbish like the 100% memory sync for missions. Which isn't really that long considering you can do that in Skyrim and not even touch the main quest.

AC2 and Brotherhood i found to be longer.

      I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
