Forums - Gaming Discussion - Ubisoft: "PlayStation 4 version of Assassin's Creed IV will be the best version" will get exclusive DLC/Features

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be getting exclusive features for the PlayStation 4, Ubisoft has announced.

Speaking to GameSpot at the game's reveal event in London, creative director Jean Guesdon said that the PlayStation 4 version of the game would be essentially "the same game" as its PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 counterparts, "but we will also use some other features that we will talk more about later during the year."

A Ubisoft representative confirmed that the studio is looking into utilising the PlayStation 4's new controller, which features a touch pad on the front.

Ubisoft has already revealed that the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin's Creed IV will contain 60 minutes of exclusive content. This content will also be made available for the PlayStation 4 version.

Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation 4 in February, and Microsoft is rumoured to be announcing the Xbox 720 in April. Ubisoft has said Assassin's Creed IV will be coming to "next-generation platforms."

Even without the additional features, Guesdon says the PlayStation 4 version of the game will be the best version to play. "You can imagine that we will use [the PlayStation 4's] full capacity and the potential of the console. Just graphically speaking it will be really enhanced. Just think about the lighting, the physics, the ocean simulation that will be experienced."

Summing up the PS4 version of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag as "better looking, better simulation, and some more features."

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is set across the Carribean in 1715 and stars a new protagonist, British privateer-turned-pirate Edward Kenway. Speaking about the team's decision to switch to a new protagonist, Guesdon said "Edward almost came naturally. We just wanted that brash young rebel that would totally fit into the pirate era."

When asked if Edward Kenway was an attempt to recreate fan-favourite character Ezio Auditore, Guesdon said "I think we all liked Ezio. But we're not trying to redo Ezio, right. We're doing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. This is not AC2, this is not Brotherhood."

 

Sorry :(

i really hope the ps4 version looks as good as those screenshots released a couple of days ago



Thanks, Ubisoft.



That settles it then, i was thinking about getting Assassin's Creed 3, but will skip it now and jump back into the franchise with the PS4.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Oh my god. This fall/holiday will be nuts.

Playstation 4, Killzone SF, DriveClub, Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed 4 probably in a month time.
And lets not talk about GTA V, and Beyond, and Killzone Merc. because they come out rigth before.

F***!

What screenshots?



Not particularly surprising, the Wii U and PS4 versions will be the best (though I'd say the PS4 version will be delayed to launch with the system in November), though the PS4 version comes with the extra content.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

i thought so, would have been crazy to make a contract with ubisoft to pay them for extra content for playstation 3 like with asscreed 3 but not for ps4. if they make extra content it should be on all sony consoles it will have a release on.

btw if they say "even without extra content the best version", do they mean better as all other versions or only as good as the pc version?

i think this could be my first asscreed since asscreed 2.



I hate when some customers are valued more than others. There is no reason why one console should get more content than other consoles, especially story-content.



What the same?! but PS4 is Most powerful or not?! what happen
