** And then there are the fans who didn't enjoy the sailing mechanic in ACIII and now this new game seems to be set at sea for 40% of the story, with more emphasis in previews in terms of upgrades being focused on different kinds of ships and upgrades to Kenway's own ship, rather than changes to human enemy types and the personal arsenal of the Assassins.

* CriticalResearchFailure: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5optp9bhGw The blowpipe]] is proudly stated as the new weapon available in this game, much like the rope dart in 3. The problem is that not only is [[http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Blowpipe the weapon available, albeit in a lesser state]] in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIIILiberation'', but Aveline, the [[PlayerCharacter playable ancestor]] in that game, is also in this one, making it a bit more than a slight oversight.

Spoke too soon- there is a HD Trailer.


** A small base breaker is the E3 2013 Trailer- every other game has had a CG Trailer as part of Ubisoft's focus, but Black Flag had a standard "Show the graphics and fighting and nothing else," trailer. Most fans do agree that the music for the trailer is awesome, though.

* BrokenBase: Is setting an ''Assassin's Creed'' game in the GoldenAgeOfPiracy a good idea, or just over-the-top and out of place? Was it a good idea to release another numbered sequel just a year after ''Assassin's Creed 3''? Was it a good idea to make ''IV'' a {{prequel}} instead of going forward in the timeline?

The last time I checked, it said it was 60/40 on the land/sea divide. That is still a whole bunch of the game set using the sailing mechanics that quite a lot of fans didn\'t enjoy in ACIII

* CharacterShilling: From the first trailer, it feels a bit off putting to have the introduction to our new protagonist be Blackbeard, arguably the most infamous pirate in history spend two minutes talking about how awesome and badass and sexy and dangerously mysterious and just better in every possible way.
