“History is our playground in Assassin’s Creed. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is a work of fiction that depicts the real events during the golden era of pirates. We do not condone illegal whaling, just as we don’t condone a pirate lifestyle of poor hygiene, plundering, hijacking ships, and over-the legal-limit drunken debauchery.”

– Ubisoft senior PR manager Stone Chin


Eh, that’s a fair response. Hiding behind the guise of “it’s historical!” is more or less false considering that “glorification” implies you’re stretching the truth to make things seem cooler than they were, but simply stating “sorry, it’s a game, get over it” is completely fair, and I would be obliged to agree with that sentiment! They aren’t being historical, but too bad, it’s a piece of storytelling.

Speaking with NowGamer, TT Fusion’s lead developer for the upcoming LEGO City: Undercover has said that the studio isn’t looking at making an NFC-based, figurine-attached game using LEGO figures anytime soon, despite the facts that such an idea would clearly be ridiculously popular, and the Wii U Gamepad already has NFC technology built into it.

Perhaps the studio simply wants to release their new game first, see what kind of press it gets, and then think about doing something new and interesting like that. Something tells me they’ll be more interesting in simply making another open-world LEGO City game though.
