Ubisoft has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 version of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag will receive exclusive features.

According to the game’s creative director, Jean Guesdon, the PS4 version of the pirate-themed sequel is basically “the same game” as its current-gen counterparts, “but we will also use some other features that we will talk more about later during the year,” he told GameSpot.

“You can imagine that we will use [the PlayStation 4’s] full capacity and the potential of the console. Just graphically speaking it will be really enhanced. Just think about the lighting, physics, the ocean simulation that will be experienced.”

In conclusion, Guesdon made it clear the PS4 version will be the one to beat, describing it as “better looking, better simulation, and some more features.”

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is due out on November 1 for PS4, PS3, PC, Xbox 360 and Wii U.

     “You can imagine that we will use [the PlayStation 4’s] full capacity and the potential of the console" 

    How many times did we hear that on PS3? And did it actually ever do it?

    Ubisoft have never from the games I've played by them used full PS3 power so there either thinking gamers are dumb and easy to forget or they actually mean it, I'll see it when I believe it and I doubt they will be able to process the full power of PS4 I reckon 3-5 years of its life cycle is when games will really shine.

    @1- The PS3 uses different architecture than the what the PS4 does. So its easier for developers to accomplish the task of pushing the hardware to its limit in the PS4 in the long run, because of the x86 PC architecture that most developers are familiar with. Let me remind you that there is not one PS3 game that uses all of the PS3s processing power, and there never will be because of the lack of memory that is avalible in the hardware setup. Sony screwed up big time on that configuration.

     They said there would be Co-op , "Lie to me one more gin"

    "we really wanted to take it to the next level" TThey said there would be Co-op , "Lie to me one more gin"

    "we really wanted to take it to the next level" Then we realize , we don't like to actually do work , so we changed our minds.

    We don't want to take away from the single player experience so ..... no Co-ophen we realize , we don't like to actually do work , so we changed our minds.

    We don't want to take away from the single player experience so ..... no Co-op

    So you take the only good thing about 3 (In my point of view) and turn it into a full game that takes place before 3.........This franchise is dead to me thanks UbiSoft.

    have no words to describe the way i feel... AC became COD-like (a bit ago) ....$$$$$..... just try to pick on latest AC.. MAN it is horrible!!! how the F*** it was rated so high by almost EVERYONE!!???.... maybe it is just my PS3 but man, it looked UGLY when you free-roam the city (set stages looked pretty cool though)!! ...have you tried to raise a mayhem in town?.. hell, NPCs are so stupid!!!.. Climbing in theatre on the walls unnoticed already had a strange feeling... "Stealing" from pockets is just hilarious.... PIG dosen't give a S*** when you kill his nephew next to him with a shotgun.. what about the laborers that keep trying to fix a house while there's a bloody massacre is happening just in front of them?? AI is just horrible in this game.......This game lasts way toooo long with the same engine, with minor adjustments, which was introduced back in PS3 launch days (or a year after)... they haven't introduced anything new (game-changing) since then.. BUT somehow (???), like "gagnamstyle", everyone wants some more of the same S***!............. ?????
