No lie, the ship battle stuff was my favorite thing in AC3 and the only good thing to come out of it. So I'm looking forward to this.

but also, whites in America were engaged in the trade of Native American slaves (as well as African) between the Caribbean, Spain and other colonies.

looks to have one large land mass and a bunch of smaller ones. If it's Assassin's Creed: Wind Waker, I might be interested in it.
Are the ship battles in AC3 as good as the ship battles in Sid Miers' Pirates! and Skies of Arcadia?
There might be a Native American slave-trade angle to this, as well as piracy. The end of AC3 might be a hint to that. The piracy might surround the lucrative movement of materials between the New World -- but also, whites in America were engaged in the trade of Native American slaves (as well as African) between the Caribbean, Spain and other colonies. That might be an interesting story to tell. No idea how it'd tie into the weird sci-fi story AC has going on though.
i'm sure it will tackle these difficult issues in a thought-provoking and fresh way. What if the slave traders were actually evil tentacled space mice who have a base on Mars and dive into human bodies on Earth via a memory transplant machine? Only Desmond can stop them, but first he must dive into the memories of one of his Italian-American ancestors, build a steam-punk spaceship, get his ass to Mars, and whoop E.T.'s ass.
Is AC3 really that bad? It's right up my alley as far as timeline and settings go. I was gonna wait until it hits $20-25 anyway, but it sounds like folks have a lot of problems with it.
Wow, I can’t believe that the long wait for another Assassin’s Creed game is almost over. So excited!

I will say this, we do need more pirate games.
- Kenway is a member of the assassins, but holds most allegence to himself.
- He's fighting a band of rival pirates.
- Giving "the HBO treatment" to pirates.
- No Desmond Miles. You control an employee of Abstergo Entertainment, a subsidary of Aspergo. They're researching the life of Edward Kenway to make...a video game.
- Big focus on Kenway's ship. Can upgrade/customise.
- Spyglass to spot ships and distant islands.
- Open world ship exploration. Metroidvania style world design that requires ship upgrades to better access certain areas.
- Calling it "true open world" and "systemic gameplay". Don't want players to be burdened with loading screens and an abundance of cutscenes as they explore the world.
- Blackbeard, Charles Vane, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, and Ben Hornigold make an appearance.
- Bartholomew Roberts' assualt on 42 Portuguese ships, and the Spanish Armada wreck, to be shown.
- Open ended assassinations to return.
- Random events in the game world. Example: accidentally stumbling upon an giant enemy ship, then luring that ship into a tropical storm. Boarding the weakened ship to conquer.
- Underwater swimming confirmed.
- Whale hunting
- Cuba, Nassau, tip of Florida, and The Bahamas. Jungles, temples, villaiges, Mayan ruins, underwater shipwrecks, etc.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be getting exclusive features for the PlayStation 4, Ubisoft has announced.http://www.gamespot.com/news/assassins-creed-iv-black-flag-to-get-exclusive-ps4-features-6404751
Ubisoft has already revealed that the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin's Creed IV will contain 60 minutes of exclusive content. This content will also be made available for the PlayStation 4 version
Even without the additional features, Guesdon says the PlayStation 4 version of the game will be the best version to play. "You can imagine that we will use [the PlayStation 4's] full capacity and the potential of the console. Just graphically speaking it will be really enhanced. Just think about the lighting, the physics, the ocean simulation that will be experienced."
