Assassin's Creed: Black Flag remake is such a badly kept secret it's been leaked by a statue maker who just assumed we all knew it was coming
-
Try it and you'll tell. Peak AC to me
That’s 3
Black Flag is a pirate game that they slapped the name on and loosely tied some gameplay into

Haven't played the original, but why does this game need remade?

They didn't take a pirate game and slap the AC name on it. They took an AC game with ship mechanics, dialed down the assassin, and dialed up the ships.
It's a direct iteration on AC3 in every way.

Is this just going to be Black Flag using the Skull and Bones platform? The snake is eating it's own tail now.
The ship section is just going to be the entirety of Skull and Bones, bolted on to this game. It'll just swap the entire game to the Skull and Bones executable. They will recuperate their money on that game! It's only a failure if you give up!

If you liked AC, then Black Flag wasn't it. I personally loved 3, but wasn't the biggest fan of the boats and pirate stuff. Black Flag only made all of that worse.
Everyone's got their own opinions, but to say AC Black Flag isn't just a pirate game with AC slapped on it isn't being very honest.

AC3 is literally the worst mainline AC game, and I've played them all. And all you ubi haters don't worry, I only paid for the very first one.
-
Please for the love of all that is holy, stay faithful to the original.
Don't add any of the loot box, leveled weapon / enemy crap that the newer titles have.
Black Flag is one of my favorite PS4 games, and I'd love to get my GF the remake.
I have zero faith in current Ubisoft. Having negative expectations will allow myself be positively surprised.

To me it's more of an AC than the rpgs that came after

AC3 is literally one of the best.

Ubi execs probably: "See! SEE! Look at Oblivion. They don't even care about fixing the bugs. Quick! Leak that we're redoing Black Flag and we'll rush it!"

3 is definitely not peak.

Rogue was better.

It's so diluted, the pacing sucks. The whole character switcheroo is dumb since all the promotionnal stuff had Connor on it.

Surprise! It was Skull & Bones in disguise!

Remove all the outside animus parts, remove the stupid plot point that I don't fucking care about modern assassin's vs templars and the end of the world yada yada, while you're at it, remove any mention of assassin and templars, I just want to be a pirate.

Oh, oh no.... you are probably right

Why remake it though? It's not THAT old. And it's not like Ubisoft games look substantially better now than they did back then. Black Flag is probably the AC game from the older AC games that holds up the best. The water specifically from that game is still impressive today and the pirate ship battles have still never gotten better than that.

I know it doesn't run (trivially) on SteamDeck.(Sorry, poor wording. I recall it wasn't SteamDeck verified, last time I had my finger on the "buy" button.)I know I'll be buying a copy when any version releases with a SteamDeck verified badge.
So I imagine the conversation:
"Boss, getting this verified is going to be as much work at a full remaster!"
"Okay. So what?"
"So what?"
"Does anyone here not want to spend months updating this fantastic title that will probably sell like hot cakes?"
"..."
"So let's do this."
Edit: Or it could be the micro-transaction thing others mentioned. I hate that it's more probable. I guess I could wait and emulate the original later, if so.

Interesting, what issue are you having on steam deck? I didn't have any problems on my deck when I played it a handful of months ago. There was just a stupid issue where Ubisoft made me sign into the launcher every time I wanted to play. There was an offline workaround though that worked fine I found on protondb. After that I was able to lock it to 40 with some settings tweaks. Played great.
