yes, he's british, but he's a pirate... it doesn't matter about nationality when it comes to that... probably later in his life though, he'll spend more time in europe but for now he's a pirate... apparently the animus is still active, only now it's YOU playing in the past... it's what i hear they did with the AC liberations on PS vita... when you start up the game, it says something like "welcome to abstergo entertainment"... you can now relive the past... but what the hell about the pieces of eden?? were they all collected in ACIII? i don't recall... my biggest disappointment was hearing the news that naval battles won't be in multiplayer... if there was one thing that could of possibly saved their piece of shit approach to online, it would of been PvP dog fights in the caribbean... now i am almost certain it will be more of the same sneak around and kill targets, which is boring...

^^HD version of the trailer... - open world/open mission style too - 60% land missions/40% sea missions - over 50 locations to discover and explore - 3 main cities: havana, nassau, and kingston - ship is named, 'Jack Dog' - crew, ship, and main character fully upgradable - harpooning - kenway is charismatic, aggressive, boastful, a little ruthless... grew up poor - recruited by the assassins, plays a tricky balance between helping the creed and being a pirate - 6 total weapons carried, 4 pistols and 2 swords, any combination can be used in combat - no modern day desmond stuff - no muliplayer naval battles that's about all i gathered from the IGN reveal... they played a video from one of the lead designers going over numerous things, i'll post a link when it's available... i think they also have an interview article coming out today...

one of the leads at ubisoft montreal tweeted, "leaker than the titanic" lol... yea, it always happens, but then again, with a team of probably over 300 working on the game, it doesn't surprise me... between that and gamestop employees, it's hard to keep things under wraps... it's amazing how R* manages to do it...

ok, there's 5 leaked screenshots out there right now... click the spoiler if you want to see them...

yea... true dat... it feels like connor was the end of the line with the events that unfolded in ACIII for desmond to me... but perhaps to secure the future on the assassins order, it's to tap back into the past to find the rest of the pieces of eden through desmond's pops... how many do they have? 3 or 4?? it's cool it's a pirates tale though, and not a colonial one... although, many famous pirates retired from the life to be politicians, so there's always the chance that kenway does the same...

to each their own is how that saying goes ... we all like things for a different reason... ahh fuck, i was too anxious to wait so i watched the leaked trailer... wowza, i didn't expect that... then again, i was blown away by the ACIII debut trailer... only time tell, but holy shit, this is something to look forward to... too bad GTAV will probably get in the way, or maybe this will get in the way of GTAV... hmm...

revelations story was great, mainly due to the same reasons me and massacre liked it... the desmond and altair parts... otherwise, gameplay-wise, ACII is still the best even though other games after it perfected it... it was the original WOW factor that makes it still memorable... i guess my order would be; ACII, revelations, ACIII, brotherhood, AC... brotherhood felt exactly the same as ACII... it was a way to stretch the story out one more game before giving the characters a proper send off... like most movie trilogies, the 2nd one sucks... yes i know there are exceptions, i wasn't talking about those...

i can wait, i am off on monday, i might watch IGN's lead up to the reveal for something to do... < { iphucked this post!! }

where was this confirmation massacre?? i haven't heard anything along those lines except speculation... kotaku seems to have insider information from the source itself, but they're refraining from leaking it for fear of losing those connections... @hussain - not a bad guess for the modern day protag... didn't think about that one... i thought maybe they'd tap into a new guy who had no idea of his past... but then we'd be re-training a new character to be an assassin... you're probably right on that one...

what is the little town west of whiterun? because that's the one i am talking about... < { iphucked this post!! }

@asdf - then why is there 'black flag' attached to this title? AC3 didn't have a tagline... perhaps they plan on using this protag in multiple games? < { iphucked this post!! }

@HBW - pirates typically carried multiple pistols in a fight because of how long it took to load them... i gotta say though, if the flag from this game is in a collector edition, i will buy it ... i too am concerned at how this will fit into the world of assassin's creed, just like the rest of you... but AC3 proved that they're evolving the series into it being more than just stealthy assassins... hell, in brotherhood i started to get that feeling... the order of assassin's wasn't much of a kept secret anymore... also, i don't know if anyone saw this, but supposedly the other side of that leaked poster a few days ago had this on the back of it, the map of AC4 ... while i agree that this should of been created as a seperate entity, and i also don't know why it's called IV when it's more like 3.25, but i've wanted a true pirate game and if this game can deliver on just a fraction of that lore, i will be forever grateful because i know this will open the door for others to test the waters in this particular genre... that thought alone is what has me excited about this game ...

he's admiring the iron sword with a frost enchantment... in the second one i was passing gas... ivarstead will be a toxic wasteland for a few days until a wind from markarth pushes it to whiterun...

if you have a house you should save the dragon bones... but early on, just sell them... i still carry a pickaxe wherever i go... just out of habit i guess, plus the dragonborn add-on had new veins to harvest... not sure if dawnguard does or not, but it's something i've always carried with me anyways...

start salvaging and selling... crafting armor for extra money... chop wood and sell em to shop keeps interested in that sort of thing... i actually paid for my first house in whiterun by chopping wood behind belathor's for over an hour and selling it to the lady that runs the inn, the bannered mare... meanwhile in riften...

swashbuckling is similar to AC combat, and there are major colonial cities in the caribbean like port royal, santo domingo and nassau... plenty of roof tops... i can see the possibility... but yea, i'd rather it if ubisoft did a spin off pirate game based on their naval combat... i am not sure how they're gonna tie a new pirate captain into the history and lore of the golden age of piracy... or if they're gonna include the entire caribbean, there's hundreds of islands and towns scattered all about... i am skeptical, but i am happy to know that they're gonna expand the naval combat... the only thing is, this game needs to go back in history this time... before the american revolution, the 1600's...

http://kotaku.com/59...-to-this-poster man i hope this is for real real... this would make me actually lift my ACIV buy ban...

Plus he's such a fake n00b. He's always like "i love gaming, i'm such a geek" Yet you put any game in front of him and he plays it like a stroke victim with one arm... i would too if you put a game no one else has played in front of me too... too much pressure... anthony anderson was the true noob... at least jimmy killed a few people...

holy mother, that better be a collector's edition...

he's actually being considered as a WR PR/KR... but i could see him being the percy harvin type if he can pick up on route running... he's already dangerous with the ball in his hands...

apparently teams are falling in love with denard robinson this weekend ...

what about that kinect star wars dance off?? that was the best game this gen!! joking aside, seriously, you guys should hope that kinect isn't a huge focus in their presentation... microsoft has wasted countless minutes in presentations talking about it, E3/GDC, and the more they talk about it, the more concern i have for the core xbox gamer... why do i get this feeling they want the wii market more than the core market??

i can't remember the names, but i am pretty sure i left helgan with the imperials, even though i fought for the stormcloaks later in my journey... how was i suppose to know who to root for in my opening minutes of playing this game?! ... i am about to fire this up soon, i'll let you know if it works... i am pretty sure every lumber mill works as long as there's a mini-quest or a favor to do for them... now that i am done building my house, i am running around trying to unlock some shouts with my wife mjoll... my friend keeps telling me about the storm shout, all i got left is one more word to learn now... so glad these add-ons finally made it to the PS3... i really miss playing this game... ----------- EDIT: soooo... i just asked hod, the guy that runs the mill in riverwood and he gave me the same bullshit line that the lady at the half-moon gave me the, "i can't just give away wood" line... so i didn't make the right decision in that turn of events with that particular operator at some point... something to look out for in the future... intradasting...

damn, you've barely scratched the surface QD... @massacre - i forgot riverwood had a lumber mill, i am sure that location will let you use their mill too, i recall doing a favor for that person early in the game... < { iphucked this post!! }
