After giving San Diego Comic-Con attendees the opportunity to board Edward Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw, over the weekend, Ubisoft has let fly a bombardment of new art pieces and screenshots from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. These new images show off the many aspects of the game’s open-world naval exploration. From the many strategies of pirate ship battles, to horrifying Jaws-style shark attacks, to harpoon fishing, to discovering secret temples and underwater treasure, Black Flag will truly allow players to live the swashbuckling life of a pirate.

Matt is a fair-minded reviewer and lover of games of all platforms and types, big or small, hyped or niche, big-budget or indie. But that doesn't mean he will let poor games slide without a good thrashing when necessary! 
Sharks! OK, I definitely gotta get this game now.
MartB64 I know, right? This is the first time I’ve actually started to gain some anticipation for the game. AC3 killed all my interest in the series but hopefully Black Flag can get it back.
VGBMatt MartB64 I have to agree, I couldn’t “get into” AC3, but they seemed to have got a magic formula of ingredients this time around. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint !
MartB64 Indeed. “Getting into” the game was the hardest part because the first 10 hours are like one long, boring tutorial.
