Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
THB Predictions for ACIV **spoilers for other AC games within**
Sat, 06/15/2013 - 12:44 — Double McStab w...I've seen predictions made on other threads and wanted to centralize the communities predictions for ACIV. I'm talking about STORY predictions, not gameplay/mechanic predictions. The gameplay and mechanics angles have been discussed at length in EzioAltair's thread.
So here are my ACIV story predictions, which have been detailed elsewhere on this site:
ACinitiates has begun updating with present day content. Spoilers within!
Fri, 06/14/2013 - 11:45 — Calvar The BladeLogin, discuss.
I'm excited about this, I loved following along with the real dates of Desmond's story last year, and I can't wait for more present-day details now. Several important characters and explanations for gaps in AC3 (And the other games) are only mentioned in Initiates. You can read the entries for the 2012 story on the site as well, if you missed it the first time.
EDIT: Here is a clue of some kind, left by William. http://aci-live.s3.amazonaws.com/content-data/2013/05/20130523_TheFirstC...
anyone care to give it a whirl?

THE JACKDAW – EDWARD KENWAY’S U.S.S. ENTERPRISE (Ubi Blog)
Sat, 06/08/2013 - 08:52 — Calvar The Bladehttp://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-4-black-flag-jackdaw-uss-enterprise/
I'm really enjoying hearing about these features through blog posts from people with access to the project.
Also, the more I hear about this game, the more I feel like I'm going to spend most of my end-game doing naval activities for hours. I have no problem with that.
Guess the AC4 E3 Demo, win NOTHING
Thu, 06/06/2013 - 19:20 — Calvar The BladeSo, the Ubisoft conference is fast approaching, and with it, the AC4 demo.
So I thought it would be fun to guess what the demo for the game would be composed of.
Remember that with numbered titles, the demos shown in the past have always been scenarios made using characters and environments in the game, but they have never appeared in the game exactly as demoed.
This means that pretty much anything goes.

Best part was the music
"Under The Black Flag" trailer released, no sign of pistol droppage

Edward's voice!
Nothing really new gameplay wise, but more footage of Edward shooting guns and NOT dropping them. Funny, you'd think they would have shown that feature that totally exists. 
Even without the Templars, there would still be a battle between a group that wanted freedom at any cost (Pirates) and those who want power and control (governments of the time) and they're both morally grey.
Just more proof that Ubi knew what they were doing when they chose this era.

It's a cool stylized history lesson on the time period, with some concept art throughout and a small bit of gameplay at the end.
Nothing new on the gameplay side, but a cool way of giving context!
ACIV and Bullshots
Mon, 04/22/2013 - 16:19 — Calvar The BladeSo as you may know from your video-gaming experience, promotional gameplay screens are often doctored or grabbed from a game running at impossibly high settings.
Some people, for this reason, call promo shots "bullshots".
When the ACIV screenshots were released, I naturally adjusted for the assumption that these were bullshots.

Ubisoft Toronto (Jade Raymond's Studio) begins collaboration on future AC game

From what we know of the dev cycle at the moment, I'd wager that this game is the next next next game (ACVI)
