Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced - Deep Dive into the Naval Gameplay
Hello everyone!
We're back with another Deep Dive into a core aspect of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Naval Gameplay.
This time we're joined by Guilhem Marin, the lead Naval Designer to go in depth on Resynced’s naval gameplay.
Please note that all footage is from a work-in-progress build. Make sure to watch in 4K for the best quality. HUD settings may vary depending on the capture to showcase examples of customizable options.
The Jackdaw is a character in its own right and will accompany Edward and his crew on their journey throughout the Caribbean. It’s still the ship you know and love, but with some upgrades to improve your experience and create a more seamless, immersive sailing experience.
A benefit of the latest generation of hardware has been the ability to create seamless open worlds with no loading screens. As such, Resynced has upgraded to modern hardware, allowing us to remove loading screens between naval gameplay and the major cities of the game.
You'll also be able to take advantage of two new navigation tools to help you get around the Caribbean. First is the Pathfinder; pin a destination on your map and activate it, which highlights your route across the water; handy if you want to stay in control of the Jackdaw while keeping your heading in view. Second is Follow Sea. This is a fancy term for autopilot; once your path is set, switch it on to hand navigation over entirely, letting the ship steer herself until you reach your destination.
Whether you use the new navigation tools, or simply decide to set sail with no destination, the iconic shanties from the original are back to accompany Edward’s journey. All 35 original shanties are here to find through exploration, plus 10 newly produced ones
