Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, like quite a few games currently in development, will straddle both current-gen and next-gen consoles.

But what do we really expect from this odd set-up and will the present-gen Xbox really stay alongside of the subsequent-gen versions?

We caught up with two of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag developers to invite what they think…

Can you talk in any respect about what improvements we are able to expect to determine inside the next-gen versions?

“We’re really that specialize in ACIV as one core game experience.”

“For next gen, we’ve a team of artists, technical artists and programmers who’re really pushing the visuals.”

“I’m really biased in saying this, but it’s looking stunning – the Caribbean within the next-gen versions is admittedly gorgeous.”

“But we’re also supporting the features of next gen, both announced and unannounced. We can have some surprises for next-gen consoles, feature wise.”

The sport looks amazing from what we have seen up to now.

How rather more power do you believe there’s to squeeze out of the 360 and what excites you most in regards to the prospect of working with next-gen hardware?

Lead writer, Darby McDevitt…

“The Xbox 360 never ceases to surprise us, so we are going to squeeze as much power out of it as possible.”

“As for next gen… most of the people specialize in the enhanced graphics, but there are such a lot of smaller, less tangible benefits that include this hardware, and we glance forward to seeing what we will do under the hood in addition. Time will tell.”
