Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag’s unexpected disappearance from the Steam store is down to nothing more exciting than a tech bug - and definitely isn’t a sign of an upcoming remake for the pirate entry in the stealth-action franchise.
Well, you see, the technical issue that’s stopping them from selling it is called “canibalization of sales”, which is technically an issue for their marketing department.
Weird to think it was because of a remake. The game isn’t old and still holds up very well.
Last of Us part 1 remake says hi
Yeah but the original wasn’t on PC for TLoU
They didn’t remake the game so they could port it to PC, they did it so they could sell more banking on the triple dippers
Both is correct.
I mean if you don’t understand that they’ve ported or remade their PS exclusives to PC because they also wanted a new untapped player base that didn’t own playstations, I don’t know what to tell you, brah.
It’s not weird to think as the remake being in the works has been reported many months before they pulled the game from Steam.
It’s a decade old and big studios are creatively bankrupt, so they just love simple redoing old shit and reusing the old work.
Skyrim wasn’t the game that started this shit, but it sure was what popularized it with studios.
It holds up well until you try to run it. Terrible issues on PC they never fixed…
Weird, I don’t get those issues on my PC. I usually install it every year at least once to play through it.
I think it can go one of two ways. Either it runs fine
Or you need windows 98 compatibility mode, change some ini setting, set physx or whatever its called to off and be finally able to play.
Then see yourself standing in your ships boundaries, unable to move. This all happened to me and I just stopped playing.
It did play well a few years back but that was on windows 8.

Probably because Black Flag is fucking revered and people would eat that shit up on the pedigree alone. It’s an open world pirate game, which doesn’t have much competition.
AC3 stands to gain more from a remake, but it would require some good faith from the community to buy into it, and it’s not as unique of an overall experience from the initial premise compared to Black Flag which instantly forms a picture in your mind of a free booting high seas adventure with some light assassination.
I’d kill for that game but more centered around pirating. Maybe have your own fleet with more ship customization and be able to take over and build a city on an island that becomes thriving over time and then have to defend from attacks by the British navy or something.
