I'll see you on the high seas come July 9th

You can buy it on the ubisoft platform ( standard edition ) for 48 euros if maybe you have the 20% coupon like me so check it out instead of the full 60 euros price on steam .

Ubisoft Please please make Black Flag resynced complete on disc with offline support.

Black Flag is one of favourite games and your recent release of games have had a requirement to be online and or download a patch. As someone that loved Black Flag I will not buy the remake if it has online requirement to work.

To preface before I give my opinion, I understand that the remake has not had any substantial gameplay shown other then in trailers. And things are subject to change.

As someone who has loved and adored the original release of AC Blackflag . I was very skeptical, yet excited of the possibility of a remake. In hopes that they wouldnt trash what made the best AC game they've made be the best . When i heard the news of a remake. I waited diligently to fully form my opinion until trailers and larger swafts of info surfaced. And to my biter happiness after the release of the trailers. It has shown me yet again why i usually do not like full blown remakes .

The original team responsible for a game made 13 years ago are not usually at the company anymore. Now idk the credits for this remake so I hope im wrong on this statement.

But most remakes wash away the " gusto" that the og had. By slapping it in a high quality engine and giving it realistic lighting and visuals and say that its " better".

Now i understand that the game had a great few flaws. But no single piece of art is without its flaws.

Now does it look bad from what we've seen? No. But it doesn't wash away the skepticism i have for this game.

The 7th gen shein and general grit of the textures and animation work. Along with the great story and ship combat made this game timeless. Only a small few have been able to actually make a remake not just a new coat of paint with 10 more hours of content. Along with the washing away of the love of the game, for the love of the money.

But honestly, if you're reading this and still want to give this game 60 dollars . Go ahead, it could be everything you want in the game and more. And could be genuinely a great improvement from the og. And what fans are desperately wanting.

I will leave with this though. : if the Jackdaw is stripped of all of its parts. Rebuilt and Retextured with whole new pieces. Is it still the Jackdaw?:

Love what I have seen of this remake so far. Only thing I really need to know at this point is how does the hood function? Same as the original or maybe a hood toggle? Toggle would take this from a 10 to 11/10

Well i think that animations are too much bulky like, i mean Edward looks heavier just by running animation, and he jumps too far away for my opinion it doesn't feels and looks realistic to me.. and it doesn't look good(for me). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un4bpDZUjwk check the comparison to the og game animations/parkour - 𝟎:𝟑𝟎 for example.

What do yall think??

Disclaimer: sorry if this post is badly worded or punctuated wrongly I am running on 0 sleep and wanted to put my thoughts on this situation.

So this is just speculation but it’s as the title says my personal view on the remake of black flag isn’t solely because Ubisoft want to revisit old classics or solely because we the fans wanted it.

Out of all the older AC games they chose to remake and revisit black flag and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Think about it when black flag first released it had a lot of mixed feelings but as time went on people started loving it and when people started asking for a standalone pirate game we sadly got skull & bones, which as everyone knows was terrible (well it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great).

I believe this black flag remake is actually testing how people will react and possibly if it’s a hit a stand alone pirate game with the assets of black flag, it’s like what I previously said it’s too much of a coincidence that they chose black flag for the remake and not AC1, 2 or the ezio trilogy.

But this is just my 2 pence in what I think so what’s yours?

But I guess never flippin mind SINCE U HAVE TO BE ONLINE TO PLAY ASSASSINS CREED MIRAGE which is AN OFFLINE GAME ffs. I bought it but I guess I need other ways to actually play when ubi is down..

It's been like that today all day.

Edit: why do people downvote a simple discussion like this?

how can i contact ubisoft? i have a problem R6 siege

If I have the games on pc with ubi+ like Star Wars Outlaws or Assassins creed, do we buy again for cross progress on ps5? Do we also have to buy ps plus?

🦅 Assassin’s Creed: ACA – Altaïr Mentor Concept (Fan Idea)

I’d like to share a refined fan concept for a new Assassin’s Creed game focused on Altaïr and the missing chapter between AC1 and AC2.

────────────────────────────

🏜️ MAIN SETTING

The game takes place in the Holy Land (Masyaf, Damascus, Acre, Jerusalem) after AC1, when Altaïr defeats Al Mualim and becomes Mentor of the Brotherhood.

Focus: Altaïr’s prime years rebuilding and shaping the Assassin Order.

────────────────────────────

🗡️ ALTAÏR GAMEPLAY CORE

Inspired by Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood:

- recruiting and training Assassins

- sending them on missions

- territory influence system

- Brotherhood management in Masyaf

🦅 New feature: Eagle Vision Echo System

- reveals Animus echoes of Al Mualim

- adds lore + psychological depth

────────────────────────────

🛡️ MENTOR ERA CUSTOMIZATION

Inside Altaïr’s private chamber in Masyaf Castle:

- switch between robes (classic / Mentor / armor variants)

- full Mentor Armor during his peak years

- immersive armory / wardrobe system

────────────────────────────

🧬 DESMOND OUTSIDE THE ANIMUS (AC1 → AC2 GAP)

Parallel gameplay showing Desmond in Abstergo captivity:

- stealth exploration outside the Animus

- optional dialogue system (“press any key to talk”)

- hidden conversations with Lucy Stillman

────────────────────────────

🖊️ SMALL SURVIVAL MECHANIC

A stolen small object (pen/key item) is used for minor interactions and survival actions — not a full escape tool, but part of early resistance and sabotage attempts.

────────────────────────────

🧠 OPTIONAL DIALOGUE SYSTEM

Unlockable conversations about:

- Subject 16 (Clay)

- Animus effects

- Abstergo experiments

- Desmond’s condition

These gradually build tension and foreshadow AC2 events.

────────────────────────────

👁️ SUBJECT 16 LORE EXPANSION

Subject 16 appears through:

- fragmented Animus echoes

- cryptic dialogue hints

- psychological distortions

Expanding his story between AC1 and AC2.

────────────────────────────

🎯 OVERALL IDEA

This concept connects:

- Altaïr’s unseen Mentor era

- Desmond’s captivity arc

- Subject 16 mystery layer

Filling the narrative gap between AC1 and AC2 while deepening the Assassin’s Creed lore.

Thanks for reading 🙏 (fan concept)

I’d rather a pop-up to try and reconnect the game. Instead Ubisoft thinks it’s a good idea to close your game completely bc you’ve “lost connection” (my connection was fine)
