Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag

 

Okay, guys. Let’s get real. I’m a HUGE Assassin’s Creed fan. Those of you who listen to the podcast already know this, so kudos to you awesome folks for believing me over Matt. *wink*

Today something amazing happened – the new trailer for AC4 came out and it’s fantastic! Get ready to be transported to a time of pirates and plunder. Arg!

Before you jump down to view the video though, I want you to know when I first saw this trailer, my world exploded into a cacophony of brilliant, multicolored sparkles. Well, to be fair, it was actually when I first laid eyes on our new protagonist, Edward Kenway. A little dramatic, yes, but I’m excited. It should be noted that Kenway is the father of Haytham (AC3) and grandfather to Connor, AC3’s Native American protagonist. More than that, he is HAWT and it looks like Ezio may have some serious competition for being the most intriguing killer. Who doesn’t like swashbuckling, swarthy heartthrobs?

And for those of you who are into that sort of thing, lookie – there’s some naked girls, too! Bodice-rippers rejoice!

Back to the game. It appears you (as Kenway) are captain of “The Jackdaw” in this open-world action game complete with naval combat. I’m sure many of you will be pleased to see ship battles returning to the high seas. I know I am. Many hours were spent in AC3 destroying vessels and upgrading my ship. Great job by Ubisoft for adding that nugget of gameplay to an already-fun adventure series!

So, sit back and enjoy the tale Blackbeard weaves about your new favorite assassin…

Needless to say, I can’t wait to get my hands on this game. It drops Oct 29th on current gen, and interestingly, the trailer states, “Also coming for next-gen consoles.”

Mass Effect 2 final DLC dated… Sort of.

Hey all, it appears that the story of Mass Effect 2 is not quite over. I’ve been wanting to post about the new DLC for ages, but solid information was scarce, and speculative at best. All we had were tid-bits of infomation leaked onto the web by random devs who were mentioning things they probably weren’t at liberty to discuss. It was like decrypting the fucking Zodiac cypher.

NA ME3 LEVIATHAN

Mass Effect 3: Leviathan DLC Unleashed!

Unleash the Leviathan! From the moment players got their hands on ME3 they’ve been clamoring for DLC that delves into the history of the franchise’s “big bad”, The Reapers. Moments ago at the EA summer showcase, Mass Effect fans got their wish. The Mass Effect 3 Leviathan DLC is coming very soon, and it looks to be filled with all new locations, dialog, and adventures.

NA BRINK CHECKPOINT SNIPE

Brink: On the “brink” of tomorrow’s release.. new official trailer!

few of us had the opportunity to give Brink a try at PAX: East and have to say, it’s a whole lot of fun.  While the emphasis of Brink is clearly it’s multiplayer customization, Brink also has a rich and unique lore that is explored in the video below.  Check out Brink’s official launch trailer, and read our exclusive hands on impressions. If you’ve been looking for something to fill the void left by the Gears of War 3 Beta once it’s gone, Brink may be the game for you!

    Glad your happy but I’m burnt out on the series. I worry if they treat watch dogs the same way with next gen

    Depending on how awesome the pirate stuff is. I haven’t played a good Pirates game since Sid Meiers! I’ve heard its about 60% old AC style, 40% shipboard stuff, I’d actually want more shipboard combat and adventure! Pretty stoked either way!

    I am ridiculously excited about this! I love pirate games, and the naval combat was a really fun part of AC3 for me (and really beautiful). Can’t wait to see what they do with this 🙂
