@ac_landmarks this is… super concerning. It was sounding great under the first director now it lost its second director, really hope this game ends up good

NEW: Benoit Richer, the Director of Assassin's Creed Hexe, has left Ubisoft and will be joining Servo Games as Game Director! Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe is still in development at Ubisoft.

@ZoieNolan4 @GenePark Pragmata and then Mouse P.I! Also a full final review of Crimson Desert soon

@SynthPotato @GenePark What's your next review going to be?

you all will be seeing less and less "embargo date" reviews from me. why? because i actually get WAY more readers and traffic when i review games late. all my most read articles are reviews i've done a month or more later. metaphor. silent hill f. mindseye. all hits, all late.

007: First Light is looking to be an amazing game. Developed by the same people behind the HITMAN franchise, it combines the open-ended levels of Hitman with setpieces on the scale of Uncharted. Major Features: - New focus on Combat, you can throw almost any object around the environment at enemies during combat, or throw enemies themselves for finishers - "Bluffing" is an ability that allows you to lie and convince enemies to allow you entry with no suspicion - You can even throw your weapon at enemies if you run out of ammo - Hacking is a major ability that works a lot like Watch Dogs, it is helpful in both combat and in stealth for distracting enemies - Bond gets a host of unique gadgets such as the Q-Lens which highlight interesting opportunities - New gadgets are developed as you progress through the story - Focus Mode is a slow-mo mode for percision shots - Combat challenges taking place around various locations from the story and has a dedicated leaderboard - Experience points can be spent on new gadget upgrades, weapons and unique outfits - IO will release new challenges constantly post-launch 007 First Light is releasing May 27th on Xbox, PC, PS5 and Switch 2, I am really excited for this game as a huge fan of the recent Hitman trilogy, I have a good feeling that this is going to end up a banger and very replayable like hitman!

@ludmog It seems like its pretty much gone. Replaced by the optional rifts

@SynthPotato Anything about the animus bullshit? Most annoying part in black flag

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will include NEW Story content written by legendary writer Darby McDevitt: - 6 hours of new main story content - “Rifts” take you through alternate stories where Edward made different decisions (such as becoming a Templar) - New main story arcs involving Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet - 3 Officers for the Jackdaw that each have a new questline to recruit them - All new cutscenes bring back the original actors including Matt Ryan as Edward, and they all look to be mocapped - New cutscene involving Caroline and Edward that adds more depth to their tragic past - Rifts seem to involve modern day elements and are optional, meaning all forced MD sections are completely absent now and engaging with that content is a choice I really hope the rifts idea is developed because the concept of playing missions as an alternate Edward is fascinating, especially since its written by Darby!

@ShihabShafkat It is on Steam but I am not sure if Ubisoft games still require Uplay to launch

@SynthPotato So will I be needing Uplay for it

@charlie_undead Luke Stephens confirmed it in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=rwWU3G…

@SynthPotato What? Thats crazy, whats the source on the Rifts?

@Jork420 Imo it makes sense, like from the Jackdaw, the only character you KNOW is Adewale. IRL these ships would have multiple leaders managing things like the quarters, the weapons, and other factors. So it does make sense at least to me

@SynthPotato Not really a big fan of the new officers if I'm gonna be honest. Adewale is a very important part of the story and I don't really see why he should be sharing the spot with some other random jackasses. Other than that well we shall see i am optimistic but very cautious with this

@MrGenXGuy Same, I really really hope its a banger and something that restores people's faith in Ubisoft, its been such a rocky ride

@SynthPotato I’m exited for this game but will pick it up 3 or so months after release when it goes on sale and all updates have been pushed out. Please be a good game….

@TheHiddenOneAC Replying so people see this, it was definitely really unclear!

@SynthPotato Fyi about the rifts

@King_of_Heroes2 This remake is probably gonna sell a ton so I expect a LOT of remakes from Ubisoft going forward after that

@SynthPotato Yo @SynthPotato deadass they should remake the first assassins creed or the Ezio trilogy next.

2013: I can't wait for Black Flag and the new GTA! 2026: I can't wait for Black Flag and the new GTA!

This is probably one of the most best comparisons between Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced VS OG The remake keeps the exact same color style but vastly improves shading, texture quality, lighting, pretty much everything looks much better and sticks to the vibrant art style.

@Xbox Keep this energy up y’all, so refreshing to see Xbox take multiple step forwards!

We Are Xbox

@AccessTheAnimus W news, glad they didnt take a step back here

Ubisoft has confirmed Social Stealth will return in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced! This comes as a follow up to a growing number of fans who asked about its absence in the Reveal Showcase

Woodkid, the legendary composer for "Death Stranding 2" and iconic songs like "Iron" and "Run boy Run" is confirmed to be composing Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's OST! Black Flag's original OST will make a full return, with Woodkid adding all-new tracks on top of it

@assassinscreed This looks like its taking place very late in the game, I think thats a ghost of Thatch… I bet this is likely right around when Edward loses his mind before he makes the decision to become an Assassin, interesting addition!

"At it again Kenway? Thought you'd be done chasing fairy stories" 🗺️📖☠️ #AssassinsCreed

I will be reviewing Mouse P.I for Hire, Special thanks to the devs for providing a review copy! I will be doing this after Pragmata so look forward to it. I would like to pledge and promise to you all that I will NOT complain about cheese in my review🙏

@DeMickyD The thing is, in a game like AC4 the lack of loading makes a huge difference as it confirms the world is now bigger as cities now have new locations around them! Plus considering the Stealth/Combat/Parkour are all brand new from scratch, I can’t possibly see this as a remaster

@SynthPotato I get it but I'm not seeing any huge change here that really makes use of this being a huge upgrade over the engine limitations of a PS3 game. Not having a scene transition loading screen when you enter a town isn't worth a "remake" for me. It's a glorified remaster

I am still absolutely baffled as to why Black Flag is being "remade" like this and doing this for games from the PS4 generation sets a really bad precedent
