Ubisoft's Skull and Bones

It has the right vibe (as opposed to Sea of Thieves and the cartoon funny pirates) - but I don't think it's what people want in a pirate game.

Sounds like a MOBA.

>its another online multiplayer dumpster fire which might even have a cash shop that will be dead quicker than for honor

oh well

>Cosmetic Sails
>Cosmetic Boats
>Cosmetics for sailors
>Cosmetics for your captain

What am I missing? This is Ubisoft after all, so don't be afraid to go crazy

Nope

How the actual fuck is it like a MOBA?

Not even defending the game but it's nothing like a MOBA.

Edward Kenway is the protagonist of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.

I like the inferior Edward and Adewale they included in the game

Sea of Thieves looked more _____fun_____.

>>380409690
Cinematic pirate game with very simplistic and uninteresting gameplay. Im as hyped as for any other formulaic modern triple-A.

I guess he must've been hard-coded into the ship's main files. That was one of the first things that stood out during the press conference.

wasn't that guy in a porn version of pirates of the Caribbean?

>>380417310
Nah it's a pirate-themed porn. The acting was pretty good actually.

What is with this Ubisoft conference?
>It's the next Beyond Good and Evil
Fucking finally
>It's a prequel and they're saying it's online multiplayer GTA focused
FUCK

Can you actually board other ships and fight the crew your self?

>>380420062
Board yes. Fight is unknown.

>>380409690
That guy is pretty funny. Top porn actor.

There's no point in making pirate games when Sid Meier's Pirates! exists.

>>380413113
Cosmetic ocean

>>380420062
No.
Actual boarding like in Black Flag is instead replaced by a cutscene.

>>380413113
Cosmetic crew mates
Cosmetic harbors
Cosmetic islands
Cosmetic adventures
Cosmetic loot

>>380420062

Yeah, seems to be like an RNG thing also as we saw from the E3 video.

is it gay to recognize this fabulous man and his hair?

>>380422923
Ubisoft heard only praise for the naval combat and general feel of those parts in both AC3 and 4.
Why can't you be happy they give you the essence of what you liked?

>>380409690

>You will never get a master and commander game set over the whole of the Napoleonic wars

Feels awful

I think this needs to be said. The multiplayer components of recent Ubisoft games like Watch Dogs 2, For Honor, The Division and Wildlands all dropped to incredibly low levels within a month or two. Be careful about buying this.

>>380409690

Mortars

This is total nonsense

>>380413314
>it's just For Honor with pirate ships
What does that mean? What the hell does that even mean?

>>380423625
Wikipedia tells me Bomb Vessels were equipped with exactly that though.

>>380423929

Not for anything but siege and any ship with the amount of guns in the video would not bare it let alone have space for one

>>380424206

oh well

To be honest I'd rather they polish the naval stuff and make a genuinely fun naval experience than try and tack on third person melee combat.

If they tried to do everything and make it essentially a Pirate MMORPG it'd just fail miserably. Maybe in a sequel.

>>380424206
Well its a good thing that now your fleet will have specialised ships.
Nevermind the numerous ways it will obviously not be realistic. So complaining about those is a little odd.

>>380411643
This. I want an action rpg that looks like this.

>>380424206
>>380424573
Let's not mention sails unfurling in 2 seconds and ships going at turbo speed or ships of that era not having rams, like, ever.

Or pirate ships having ornate skull-shaped sterns and tattered sails. Or krakens.

But they didn't even do that, I mean christ, boarding is a fucking cutscene.

If they go the way of the Division, it will happen in time. Through power creep.
