- Old fan-made videos inspired Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resyncedthe combat system
- Creative director Paul Fu states that the team “wanted a deterministic action combat system”.
- Tools have been reworked to make them smoother in combat
Ubisoft took inspiration from old fans Assassin’s Creed Black Flag gameplay videos when it came to developing the modernized combat system for Resynchronized Black Flag.
It is according to Resynchronized creative director Paul Fu, who told TechRadar Gaming that old fan-made videos were “one of the main inspirations” for the improved combat system, “aside from the fact that we always wanted a deterministic action combat system.”
“We were inspired by early main combo videos from fans of the original,” Fu said. “So in the original you could use rope darts and guns in between your attacks and stuff. But they were quite cosmetic in nature. Some of them provided a real advantage, but some of them actually lacked the challenge of doing a particular combo, for example.”
Fu, who also revealed in the same interview that the remake of the 2013 game is built from the ground up and contains very little of the original code, explained that the team worked to make these tools feel “essential” to the core combat system by taking the “visual philosophy” of having them and modernizing them to ensure they “basically move like a flowchart.”
“We have the perfect area for chain takedowns, which everyone loves. If you can’t do a perfect parry, which will happen, your brain will have to take a different route, which means you will have to perform a combo like attack, attack, kick, for example,” Fu explained.
“And if you happen to kick a guy near a wall, you can knock down a wall. If you have to kick a guy off the ledge, he’ll fall off the ledge, but if there’s nothing you can kick, you’ll end up with a heavy hit.
“There is a certain flowchart that accompanies combat, which is deterministic in nature, based on your environment, which is quite different from previous games.”
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resynced will launch on July 9 on PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.
