Supposed leaked box art
http://www.oxm.co.uk/50645/assassins-cr ... ft-forums/Black Flag is said to star Edward Kenway, father of Haytham, father of (eventual) Assassin's Creed 3 leading man Connor. He's reportedly "a privateer, assassin and occasional pirate" who spends his days sailing around the Caribbean, shooting/stabbing things and glowering at them.

Pirate-themed Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag has been officially confirmed by publisher Ubisoft, and will have 60 minutes of exclusive gameplay on PlayStation 3.
Packshot artwork shows that the game will at least be released for PC, PS3, Wii U and Xbox 360.
Eurogamer will be able to reveal full details of the game on Monday at 5pm UK time

Jesus Christ, how come it takes them 2 years to make AC III, but they're crapping out numbered titles like it's nobodoy's business.

They created an entirely new engine for AC3, so that was the reason for the wait. Now they'll probably just be using the same engine again, so development time is practically cut in half. And, y'know, multiple teams working on different games and all.

Other than the first and second game I don't think there has been more than a year gap between games.

Yeah, you're right. I just meant the wait between numbered games.

The constant titles has put me off the series some what. I still plan on getting III but have been told ill miss out of some story elements by not playing Revelations and Brotherhood.

Not just "some" story elements. Even the un-numbered ones are full-on sequels. Jump from AC2 to AC3 and absolutely nothing in the overarching story will make sense to you. It'd literally be like jumping from A New Hope to Return of the Jedi without paying any attention to Empire.
And I don't mind a constant stream of new titles, myself. To this point, I actually can't say they've been milking it by any means. Each console entry has been great, moving the story along properly and attempting to polish the gameplay further.
I mean, would we have complained if Shenmue actually got all of its chapters released on a steady basis over the course of 5-10 games, just because it ends up being a large amount of games?
If you like Assassin's Creed at all, then the sheer amount of content they've created for the series ought to be seen as a blessing, not a detriment.
As long as it's continuously good, I don't mind at all.

I don't mind so much either, if anything 4 might be more interesting now that they can exploit the engine more and refine the gameplay, in much the same way that Brotherhood was a better game than AC2. Hope the new character has more of a personality than Connor, who is proving to be not as good as I had hoped. I'm gonna go and predict that Edward will be some form of swashbuckling, Jack Sparrow-esque pirate, to counter Connor's Anakin Skywalker-esque, seriousness.
Though I wonder, and this is me speaking as someone who hasn't completed AC3 yet, what the aim is in telling a prequel? Seems like that is a decision because they have all these assets they can easily reuse and adapt to make another game within a year around that setting rather than because of any real desire to tell a story in that period.

Its starting to get really bad.
Yea its a lot of content its unfocused and unfinished. theres more and more bugs that are affecting more people, while a single gamer might generally be able to ignore them the save killing and console restarting is a big problem that sites have reported on and still aren't fully fixed. I've had the issue with the game 4 times (PC,360, PS3,WiiU).
The Story of AC3 also made no sense whatsoever, its like they were writing and then just said "fuck it, problems"
Theres so many good ideas that they have but releasing a game a year is making these games worse off and if Black Flag keeps that going I might just be done with this series.

I've beaten this game 4 times and I don't have answers to a lot more then just that, those are just ones I remember off the top of my head.
