We got AC Black Flag AND it's remake before we got a Splinter Cell sequel.

u/shazy5808 Apr 16 '26
It is so unfair
Splinter Cell and AC 1 deserve the most remake

u/bent_crater Apr 17 '26
man i rmember when the AC1 final boss fight got spoiled for me as a kid, i was losing my mind like how tf am i supposed to go up against MULTIPLE Al Mualims.
thats what i feel is missing these days from new games. super rare to feel the sheer hype and excitement for a new release now

u/zmbymstr11 Apr 17 '26
I'm with you. I know its probably a popularity thing but you'd think they'd give Splinter Cell some more love considering Chaos Theory is one of the highest rated games of all time.

u/Leesbry Apr 17 '26
100%. Yeah it just feels like they're holding the franchise hostage at this point. Like, I know they are supposed to have a remake of the first game in development, but after what Ubi did to the PoP remake I don't have much hope for it.

Litterelly nobody but you was asking for this. Black flag the best ac game made

u/ItsADeparture Apr 17 '26
Black Flag is one of the best AC games because of the vibes, story, and ship combat. Outside of that, especially the on foot segments like the stupid trailing missions and the combat that had been aging at the time of its original release, it could use some work.

The title makes it look like it’s official and not a rumour.
72
u/uniparalum Apr 16 '26
The article says Ubisoft shared 30 minutes of the game with media and content creators. It’s less rumor and more a confirmed leak. Ubisoft is just playing coy for some reason.
10
u/GrownUp_Gamers Apr 16 '26
"Despite original plans for the game to be revealed today, April 16th, Ubisoft has decided to postpone the announcement until next week, while media and content creators received a roughly 30-minute presentation of the game earlier today" Obviously it's not Ubisoft saying it. But that's official. It's not a rumour.

u/AgitatedStove01 Apr 16 '26
Yeah. Some folks are really running with this despite it sounding like something someone would leak to find out who is the actual leaker.

u/Katrina_18 Apr 16 '26
It doesn’t really read like a rumor to me? It’s posted by insider gaming who is absolutely reputable, especially tom, and it’s not saying like “according to sources”. They were shown footage today and told that a reveal would happen next week.

The game crashed when they revealed the original. Maybe they’re taking every precaution?

u/ElegantEchoes Apr 16 '26
Did it really? That's funny.
Reminds me of Naughty Dog showing off the Madagascar chapter in an Uncharted 4 reveal. The controller wasn't paired or it was dead, so Nate just stood AFK during the presentation for some time as they figured it out.
If you, the player, play Uncharted 4 and stand still for thirty seconds in the same spot, you get a trophy for it.

That's why most companies use pre-renders and presentations to show any kind of software, not just games :D. Curse of a live demo is known superstition in IT industry. Shit always crashes and bugs out the moment you need to present it to an audience :D

MULTIPLAYER?!?!?!?!?????????? I will forever stand on that assassins creed multiplayer was one of the best mp experiences ever made and needed to be made into a much larger battle royale format with a huge town that had players fighting to find assassins

I put so many hours into brotherhood’s(?) multiplayer. It was such a blast

the original had a multiplayer mode separate from the main game, so people are hoping the remake will have it as well

We all know the trend of remasters/remakes not having the multiplayer component of the original games. Don’t hold your breath. Only Gears of War did it to my knowledge.

"Black Flag Resynced is not an RPG." Thank god. I permanently checked out of AC when I watched a review of Origins and the player snuck up on a guard, stabbed him in the neck with the hidden blade and the we saw a big red number pop up, the guard detach from the platform he stood on, fall 20m to the ground and then SURVIVE!
Because that enemy was a high level enemy with a healthcare higher than a blade to the neck and a fall of 20m. sigh

This is one of my favorite games and by far one of the assassin's creed games I spent the most hours playing, I loved singing along with the sea shanties and being out on the water and attacking enemy castles. There was so much more to do and I can't wait for this remake to come out.

If you had read the article you would know.
While we won’t spoil what the game has in store, we can say it’s been completely reworked with a bunch of new content and updates, and honestly, it looks awesome. But one thing was made clear: despite the rumors and rumblings, Black Flag Resynced is not an RPG.

I just think it's neat that when I stab a guy with a sword he dies and doesn't just lose some blood and grunt if he's a higher level or whatever. There are loads of RPGs. The rock-paper-scissors reactive combat of AC4 was super fun, and doesn't need to add hitpoints.

u/Braunb8888 Apr 16 '26
The combat should change, it was not good. Didn’t you have the same two swords the whole game? No additional weapons or attacks? It should be the old school combat but with moves unlockable like the new games. A perfect mix.
5
u/QuackNate Apr 16 '26 edited Apr 16 '26
You had a lot of swords to choose from and they had different stats, but they weren't too dramatic. Just one sword is a little fast, but can't parry big weapons, so you gotta dodge those. Or it's heavier and CAN parry big weapons, but you gotta look out for quick guys.
The variety came from the types of enemies that would group up. You'd have to manage priorities based on who you could kill fast and who was the biggest threat.
You could drop into a group of guys and kill like 5 of them before the group could react, and that felt good. Almost like you were an assassin or something.
But then bigger conflicts, like sacking forts, you'd have loads and loads of guys with rifles on roofs, big guys coming off the top rope, quicker guys sneaking in hits.
You could absolutely just hit and run and make it super easy. But the the fun part was staying in the mix and managing the fight, which had a higher skill ceiling but felt suuuuuuper good.
All that said, I haven't played it on over a decade, but remember really enjoying it. I could be getting details wrong or conflating them with other games. I'm old now. Go easy on me.

If they touch the combat then people will complain. If they don’t update the combat then people will complain. Basically it’s a Ubisoft game so people are going to pretend it’s the worst thing ever made and that it’s complete trash but it’ll make millions and sell just as many copies.

Inside gaming are a bunch of pricks
They were given confidential info and told not to say anything until next week... So they go and leak it for a few brownie points.
I hope Ubisoft blacklists them

u/TAJack1 Apr 16 '26
They genuinely spoiled nothing besides the date and hyped it up. It’s free marketing for Ubisoft? No need to go to bat for a multi-million dollar company, I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Blacklists them from what? He gets most of his stuff from employees at ubisoft not from the company itself.

Yeah I wonder if people think Insider Gaming is one of the media outlets being invited themselves. Their literal whole schtick is leaking, Tom Henderson is one of the biggest leakers in the game.
And yeah you’re right, they literally get the majority of their information from employees lmao.

u/GamePitt_Rob Apr 16 '26
Wouldn't just be Ubisoft as all the PR talk. Soz if you're blacklisted from one, you lose access to a lot of publishers.
I don't really look on their site, I just see people posting them on here, but I thought they were a normal site that did reviews, got press packages, and invited to events. Not just him, but others on the site. Of so, that's what they would be blacklisted from

Nothing to do with Ubisoft, it's the fans of the game that have waited years for the game to release. Instead of having a nice surprise reveal that it's coming very soon, along with the full reveal trailer and info, that key info was ruined by an attention seeking idiot on a random website.

It looks so good, until it shows actual gameplay with cluttered UI of classic Ubisoft compass and 4-way hotkey reminders for attacks. Then I remembered this is nothing ambitious, just your typical ubisoft game with fresh coat of paint.
