If there was ever a consensus on Assassin’s Creed it’s this: Black Flag is the best one. So the prospect of a remake is both exciting and scary: what if they get it wrong? Well, based on verything we know about the upcoming Black Flag Resynced, here's 7 things we love the sound of and 3 things we're dreading. From the exciting new quests that bring back Edward Kenway’s original voice and mocap actor Matt Ryan, to expanded upgrade paths for the Jackdaw (plus an in-game cat), and a seamless Caribbean world free of loading screens. Plus, the confirmed return of the Kenway's Fleet meta-game. However, it’s not all smooth sailing: Black Flag Resynced omits a huge part of the original story and leaves out the Freedom Cry DLC, so however you slice it, it's not a complete, definitive package. But does that matter? Is the visual upgrade and gameplay overhaul worth losing the entire modern day story for? Resident Assassin's Creed superfan Jim Trinca has some thoughts. #IGN #AssassinsCreedBlackF
