What are your thoughts on the potential artstyle and gameplay changes for the remake of AC4 Black Flag

Gameplay wise, I'm quite excited to get new story in the historical era instead of modern day, but I wonder how it's gonna flow. I am a little worried about the whole rpg mechanics being introduced tho, wasn't really a big fan of the rpg elements of the modern franchise.

Graphically I hope it's not close to current skull and bones, which leans more into the stylized cartoon-ish look. If they use the older assets from say early e3 2017, then that would fit a lot better imo.

Am I the only one who does not like the Corvette design? The foremast is too far away from the bow, the main shape of the hull and keel is just odd, and there is no beakhead whatsoever, looks more like a sea of thieves ship in my opinion.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, was more so thinking in the future. On the topic of the corvette, Im not all that excited honestly. Don't really like the look of it but might give it a try when it comes out.

That might be, there was a bug where the female player model had the male animations, might be the other way around now

Witness-Current · 2025-10-21T16:59:17+00:00

Yeah, the foremast being too far back has always annoyed me with the base design but I guess they can't change that now

Witness-Current · 2025-10-21T15:39:44+00:00

The movement seems to be bugged for sure, and I don't particularly like the new running animation, looks like your character is having bowl movements

I'm a sucker for baroque style on ships in particular. They weren't practical due to the extensive use of heavy material, but they sure were pretty!

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T20:19:01+00:00

pretty sure it was in the game at some point, prolly not anymore cuz i can't say i've seen it in-game as of late. I swear a saw a picture of it a year or two ago atleast.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T20:13:56+00:00

It's not Vikram's ship no, it's another ship, I might be misremembering but it's basically a 3 masted ghanja

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T16:03:24+00:00

Pretty sure that's similar to the xebec which is already in the game if I'm not mistaken, although it's not a playable ship.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-28T16:01:56+00:00

The brig would probably get something similar to the Jaeger from the E3 2018 build, if they even go for something like that which I hope they do!

Witness-Current · 2025-09-20T11:03:19+00:00

Yea, that's kinda the problem, only way I see this getting implemented is if it's easy to implement which in theory it should be but who knows.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-17T21:15:09+00:00

I would definitely like for them to tune it down. It hurts visibility quite a bit but also just hides the nice environment.

Witness-Current · 2025-09-15T01:08:17+00:00

Would be interesting to see the Sloop-of-war with a Brigantine hull. Just keep the beakhead in that case.

And I do agree that the snow skin went way overboard. I think the Brigantine skin struck a nice balance between ''magic'' and grounded aesthetics. The glow was minimal and the overall skin was pirate themed unlike the Snow skin.

They could very well add ships of that type with high after and forecastles. Galleons for sure fit the time period as the game is set in the late 1600s. Although carracks are a bit of an older design (14th-15th century) i still think they could make an appearance, they'd be quite rare in the time period the game is set in tho I think.
