Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced creative director says the modernized combat system has been upgraded to make varied tools flow better — ‘We were inspired by early fan-made combo videos from the original’

• Old fan-made videos inspired Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced‘s combat system
• Creative director Paul Fu says the team “wanted a deterministic action fight system”
• Tools have been reworked to make them flow better mid-fight

Ubisoft was inspired by old fan-made Assassin’s Creed Black Flag gameplay videos when it came to developing the modernized fighting system for Black Flag Resynced.

That’s according to Resynced creative director Paul Fu, who told TechRadar Gaming that old fan-made videos were “one of the core inspirations” for the upgraded combat system, “other than the fact that we’ve always wanted a deterministic action fight system.”
