Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's systemic nature encourages stealth and surprises

By Tracey Lien on Jun 10, 2013 06.10.13

Black Flag will feature what McDevitt describes as a "seamless open world" where players will be able to transition from land to sea without load screens. The only exceptions that he noted were for big cities and jungle islands, which require loading screens because of the number of assets and AI entities involved. In a demo of the game shown to Polygon, McDevitt managed to chase a character from land onto a boat before starting a boat chase, which led to a naval battle. During this battle, he was able to leap from his ship into the enemy's and perform a series of swift assassinations. This was all completed seamlessly. According to McDevitt, the developers wanted to make the game an open world experience where events are unscripted, which would then allow for opportunities like the...

Assassin’s Creed devs ditched co-op multiplayer because 'it didn't fit'

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Feb 04, 2013 02.04.13

The original Assassin's Creed included a co-op mode, but it was cut because it clashed with the game's storyline, Assassin's Creed 3 mission director Philippe Bergeron told OXM in a recent interview. "Before we knew about the Desmond story and Animus link, we had a huge co-op component in there," Bergeron said. "But it just became too hard to do: the engine couldn't support it, and then the metaphor we had above it didn't support it. Co-op was one of those big things at the beginning that just didn't make sense in the end." That's because, according to Bergeron, it was impossible to reconcile multiplayer within an ancestor's memories. "Your ancestor lived his life in a certain way, so assuming you had branching storylines, it creates a paradox," Beregon said. "It didn't fit."

By Tracey Lien on Dec 09, 2012 12.09.12

The next instalment in the Assassin's Creed series could be set in Brazil, according to an interview Brazilian website TechTudo did with Ubisoft Brazil's director Chaverot Bertrand. In the interview (translated by Google), Chaverot tells TechTudo that Ubisoft has already begun researching for an episode of the franchise set in Brazil, but he was quick to add that the company is only considering the possibilities at this point in time and nothing has been decided. "The development team already has several ideas on how to build a scenario based on a particular moment in the history of Brazil, and that fits perfectly in the millennial plot between Templars and Assassins, but so far nothing is decided," he said in the translate interview.
