Assassin's Creed: Rogue

Sigh.

Sometimes I hate this industry.

Assassin's Creed IV:Black Flag (Templar ver.)

But with three different types of ship guns....

You get some forward guns! And some oil that creates flames! and a early version of a machine gun!!!

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to play it. But aside from new people, slightly different ship gameplay and new locations, it's the same game. Not that I'm complaining much since Unity is going to be the real breadwinner. This'll be a nice sub entry.

And ice-bergs. And Snowstorms. 1 polar bear too.

I wonder if Connor will be the one to kill Shaw. mmm

One of the locations is New York City. And I doubt it's going to be very different from the NYC in III. Maybe the only major difference will be the section that was burned down will be the pre-Great Fire version.

That said, I'm betting this game will have multiplayer. Seeing as Unity doesn't have it (thank goodness) that alone will probably be the reason some people buy it.

But yeah, I'll probably play it too. I don't have a PS4, and I'm not going to get one for a while, so I won't be able to play Unity sadly.

Hahaha. The problem is that it's such a cash grab. It feels like Unity is trying to do something different (much larger crowds, co-op, descent and etc) while this is like (people still have old gen systems, lets redo AC4 but put a templar in it).

It's absolutely a cash grab. But they can sort of get away with it because it does indeed bridge a gap that would otherwise be between ACIV/ACIII and Unity.

4 reasons why Rogue will better then Unity according to cinemablend

I'll check this game out.

To be honest though, they could have done the same premise with Haytham Kenway. This character is apparently part of the Kenway line anyways, and I love Haythem. He was was my favorite character in the series before his father in Black Flag.

Meh....

I'm looking forward to this AC game and i'm with Arachnid1 in regards to getting to play as a templer again.

I didn't know Unity was current gen exclusive tho. Kewl.

Yeah. I'm guessing that the couldn't port the game to last gen because it would ruin it. I'm thinking massive crowds from the French Revolution would break PS3/360.

30,000 people all doing something? Yeah. Your system would blow up.

Read some stuff around where this takes place in he latest Game informer

It fits into the timeline around preceding the decline of the Assassins and Achilles Davenport's disillusionment or as they put it in the magazine, Shay Cormac could'eve been like Anakin skywalker & Davenport as Kenobi .

glad that there's no multiplayer related ones.

Been playing Rogue for a while now, and I must say, it's every bit as enjoyable as Black Flag.

Story seems to be freaking short though. Only 6/7 main sequences from the looks of it.
And damn, Shay is a freaking bawss. Haytham is back too, so that automatically makes Rogue >>> Unity.

Yeah i've heard about the train wreak that was Unity. I've only just started to become a templer in the game, Just freed guy and is about to retake the Morrigan

i haven't played Black Flag, But i like how the crafting system is set up like Far Cry 3 just make the items on the go.

Rogue is to Black Flag what Brotherhood was to 2. A refined version of a pretty damn good game all things considered.

I'm in the same sequence as you (just a couple of memories further ahead of you), and so far, my only gripe is that Shay's Templar outfit does not have a hood. Combat seems to be about as clunky as Black Flag's system was though. Ship combat remains as entertaining as ever.

Damn, this game feels a lot bigger than Black Flag did. Played it for 25 hours and all I've got is 50% synch. Story is stupidly short, but pretty good, and Shay is the second best protagonist AC has had IMO.

The River Valley is a pretty cool setting though. Some areas are considerably bigger than expected, and they look interesting (Old Growth Forest is ridiculous), but they're pretty empty.
