Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag PC Moved To November

Ubisoft needs to do like EA and come up with a single big engine for all their franchises. As it stands right now they’re using a different engine for each franchise (Anvil for AC, Dunia for Far Cry, UE for Splinter Cell, Watch_Dogs is also using a brand new engine) and I bet that’s gotta be a support and technical nightmare.

I don’t know how flexible the Watch_Dogs engine is, but since it’s built from scratch for next-gen and has PC support from the get go, I’d guess that would be a good choice for an universal Ubisoft engine.

I have PC port and for the first time in the series, it’s possible to assign more all weapons to numeric keys (not just 4). You can also make use of mouse wheel. The game has low FPS for me but that’s because I don’t even meet minimum req. The PC port seems to be good, actually.

#23

How do you already have it? Was it leaked to torrent sites already?

#24

Aye, me s’pposes.

#25

Bloody fucking pirates!

#26

Isn’t it the Console version? Current gen is out since 29th October.

Anyway, not watching, I really intend to play this sometimes. If it wasn’t bloody 1.4 grand on Steam, I’m be sold. That price leaves me thinking… About waiting…

#27

Last gen :rolleyes:

#28

Last Gen?

Pretty sure it’s called previous gen, if anything.

#29

Last gen, previous gen, yester-gen, whatever :stuck_out_tongue:

[color=’#161616’]“Updated” my avatar with antialiasing and 8-bit alpha channel. Next-gen stuff :stuck_out_tongue:

#30

Say what? It’s $59.99 right now, like every other newly released game.

#31

Say what, 1USD = 20CZK, 1EUR = 27CZK, according to the Czech National Bank. 50EUR on Steam, times 27 is roughly 1,350CZK + PayPal’s tip or whatever it really is = roughly 1.4 grand for me.

Of course it’s 1100CZK retail, but retail’s out of my reach for personal reasons. But if I solve those…

I still remember the times when a brand new (pre-order, actually) AAA title would be 1000CZK…

#32

Huh, I’ve actually never heard any one use “x grand” to refer to a currency other than USD.

#33

I think you should specify your currency if you want to use expressions like that :stuck_out_tongue: .

#34

Aye, me thinks that should’ve been told.

Anyway, fuck it, scratch that, I went through my retail order history, and I was crazy enough to buy MoH:Airborne for 1.3 grand back in 2007… Wonder where I even got that money back then, since I’m pretty sure my parents weren’t involved in that particular purchase.

#35

And why on Earth did you waste it on MoH Airborne?

#36

I liked MoH: Airborne :frowning:

(although by the time I got it the price was more like $19.99)

EDIT:
(somewhat) On-topic: are AC 2, Brotherhood and Revelations less repetitive than the first game?

#37

Yeah, Airborne was pretty good although quite unrefined.

Yeah, the games after AC1 are much better in terms of variety and everything else.

#38

Yeah, but as a tradeoff the later games aren’t quite as focused on assassinating people. III was particularly bad about this because most of the assassination sequences were highly linear events so you don’t get to pick and choose how to approach an assassination like you did in the older games.

#39

Does IV suffer that issue?

Is it long?

Damn, I’m very close to actually sacrificing that money.

P.S.: I liked MoH:A… But considering the singleplayer lenght, and the fact barely anyone ever played multiplayer… I wouldn’t buy it again.

Working pre-cracked version was already available on TPT 5 days before the official release, and it’s working flawlessly.
