Assassin’s Creed IV will be given the “HBO, reality treatment”; no plank-walking or parrots

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

“We have a fantastic opportunity for pirates in video games. Certainly when Assassin’s Creed III naval came out, there was a clamour from the fans for a pirate game. There’s no-doubt that the people want it, but it’s not easy. It takes a very talented team, a lot of experience and great tech. It’s one thing having good naval combat, but combining that with good boarding and land-based gameplay in a seamless way, is hard to do.

“We’re staying away from cliches. Things like walking the plank, parrots on the shoulder and hooks for hands. We are giving pirates the HBO, reality treatment. And that allows us to redefine piracy in entertainment. No longer is it for kids.”

– Lead content manager Carsten Myhill

I doubt I’m the only one, but something tells me the game will be quite far from a realistic and honest depiction of piracy back in the 17th and 18th century…

Danish TV station uses Assassin’s Creed screenshot in report on Syria, thinking it was photo of Damascus skyline; apologizes

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

Citing the “importance of verifying the sources of pictures”, a Danish news station has apologized for unintentionally using a screenshot from 2007’s Assassin’s Creed to represent the skyline of war-torn Syrian city Damascus. It’s hard to determine exactly what’s more impressive: A news station goofing up like this, or a six year old game being mistaken for reality. Good work… Ubisoft? I guess?
