To get the most of them, you'll need to control each one individually, sacrificing control of the rest of your ship in order to pull off the perfect shot. If you're ready to pick a fight, different weapon slots appear to have their own outlooks. But to get a better view of the skirmish as it unfolds, you can switch perspective to the Crow's Nest, offering a more holistic view of the seas around you. To be sure of where you're heading, you'll want to have the camera positioned at the helm as you attempt to steer your ship through the fight.
To get the clearest view of the battle at hand, Skull and Bones lets you shift perspective between different spots on the boat. The raid is successful, as Bernard and an ally hold off attacks from both land and sea, but it's hard to get a sense of exactly what's happening at a given time. To defend against incoming attacks from the forts, sections of the ship were heavily armored, but in other areas, that armor was exchanged for cargo bags to accommodate extra loot.
In a section that involved plundering a heavily-armored fortress, game director Ryan Bernard opted for weapons with crushing and explosive damage – rather than Greek Fire armaments, which would have been more effective versus an opposing fleet.

This may appeal to some, but it feels like half a game at best, and it’s hard to see this doing well in this form.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
Since this leak happened, Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones’ Twitter account seemed to indicate that actual info was coming soon, but the official tutorial video really lays it all out, and I’m not sure what else you need to know if you watch that.
The blueprint has been there this entire time and it’s just astonishing that after all this, we’re still arriving somewhere that doesn’t take into account the reasons people liked Black Flag to begin with. No matter how many delays there are or how long this stays in production, a game that is entirely ship-based is just not going to appeal to most players who literally just wanted Ubisoft to make another Black Flag game, minus all the Assassin’s Creed nonsense. Not allowing you to play pirate on foot in actual combat is a truly absurd decision that will sink this game from the start. Yes, it’s true that the ship combat introduced in Black Flag and then used in a half dozen other Assassin’s Creed games after that is fun, but it’s only half the fun (or maybe not even that much).
