Assassin's Creed 4 protagonist aspires to be a 'man of quality'

4.6
"Edward Kenway is a raucous and bawdy chap," Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag lead scriptwriter Darby McDevitt told Polygon, "but he's also a married man, and one of his primary motivations in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is to get rich and prove himself a 'man of quality' to his family and betters." Kenway wants to chart a course to respectability - at least in the eyes of his time - and his tenuous marriage will serve as one of the central narrative threads in the game.

McDevitt also mentioned gameplay will be "more open and free than ever before," reflecting Ubisoft's earlier missive about the game paying heed to "the older philosophy" of the series. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag will be available on Wii U, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 29, 2013.

Origamo I can't believe there is another Assassins Creed so soon.

They made so much money on AC III, that they want to cash in on that pay day like Call of Duty each year. These companies don't understand that trying to devolve a full game that is decent in a year doesn't work.

For the most part they have their engine dialed in. That means they can dedicate their massive team to developing the story and and making small tweaks to the engine. If there isn't a need to, they won't re-build the engine for every game that would be a huge waste of resources.

Hopefully they have put in dual wielding swords/daggers, some of the cut scene kill will be very interesting if they have!

HARGAN cant wait for this game ac3 was a great game wonder what will happen since desmond is dead?


Could potentially be about the Fountain of Youth since it seems to be a pirate related story (it was in the latest Pirates of the Caribbean.) They find the Fountain, they can save Desmond. Not sure if the Fountain of Youth is in their world, but I don't see why it can't be.

RZA They need to end this series now.

I agree. After Desmond's death, they just need to end it. In the last AC, the big improvement in the game was naval warfare. Now this game seems to me moving in an all naval warfare direction.


The idea is generally boring now, it's repetitive.
