If you stopped playing the Assassin's Creed franchise before the story brought the hidden blades to the founding of America and the swashbuckling seas of the Caribbean, now might be the perfect time to hop back in. Launching on October 28, Assassin's Creed: The Americas Collection includes Assassin's Creed III, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and Assassin's Creed Liberation HD.
Assassin’s Creed IV will likely be a divisive entry in the series. The emphasis on sailing the seas and ship-to-ship combat over the usual sneak, stab, run gameplay (not to mention the shift in story away from many of the series’ touchstones), almost makes the title feel like it should have been a whole new IP. In many ways, it probably...
Did you shed all too many tears when Watch_Dogs was delayed? Did you also pre-order the PlayStation 4 bundle, hoping to welcome in a new console generation with fast-paced vigilante action, only for Ubisoft to slap you with the ol' "delay exciting title until Q2 of next year" trick? Dry those tears, friends. The world-wide French developer wishes to mend bridges by offering a new bundle for those wishing to explore the high seas in all their next-gen splendor. Assassin's Creed IV is taking Watch_Dog's spot as the Ubisoft bundle for the PlayStation 4, due out November 15th for $459.98.
Yesterday, the highly anticipated Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was released. Gamers everywhere simultaneously unleashed their inner pirate, buckled their swashes, and practiced twirling cutlasses as a result. While you might expect pirates to act in a purely selfish manner, being, you know, pirates and all, even a land lubber knows that teaming up with a few other scurvy dogs can increase your chances of landing plunder and booty without losing a leg.
It's Halloween this week, which means it's time to dress up! May we suggest a pirate? Perhaps a nazi zombie? Or for the kids in your life one of those fluffy (yet irritable birds)?
I hark back to the days when pirates used to say things like "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum", rather than "I have just installed Malware on your PC." Ubisoft obviously feel the same as they are finally ready to smash that bottle of champagne against the hull of the olde worlde HMS Assassin's Creed IV:Black Flag.
Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man is a fantastic slice of pulp science fiction that tells a series of short stories via the medium of tattoos. Ubisoft has probably read the book if the latest TV Spot for Assassin's Creed 4 is anything to go by. Look into these trailer tattoos, but turn away before it is too late.
Jeez, is it seriously October already? For some of us, that might be great news as "October" means Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is releasing this month. For others, "October" might induce some panic, but rather than talking about that, let's discuss that AC4 release, shall we?
Ubisoft released a trailer detailing the next-gen technical advancements of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. The game looks breathtaking on next-gen consoles, but don’t take our word for it - check out the trailer for yourself.
What should we do with the drunken sailor? What should we do with the drunken sailor? What should we do with the drunken sailor? Make him buy the Assassin's Creed IV: Buccaneer Edition.
Prepare yourself for a lot of piratey talk to invade Co-Optimus as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is officially getting a co-op mode. So, "arrr!", "AVAST!", "yo ho ho and a bottle of finely purified water because seriously the stuff they drank in those days had to be mixed with rum to kill what was in it." Alright, with all of that out of my system, let's talk some details.
