So they finally went and listen to what people really want. Black Flags pirating was so much fun. I replay that game just for that aspect.

Black Flags was one of my favorite AC games, and it wasn't even for the AC part.

So I'm really excited about this, but pissed if it's multiplayer only. They have a great gameplay platform to build on, but with way better graphics. So yeah... I'll keep an eye out for this for sure!

If they have a solo mode, or co-op, I will be very interested.

Excited to see the Dutch Prinsenvlag featured prominently here. Less excited that its crew speaks modern English rather that old Hollandic.
