There are always caveats: unstable frame rates, poor textures, rough image quality. I've reviewed a number of last generation ports, including Saints Row: The Third, Dragon's Dogma, and Resident Evil Revelations. Better yet, after the rough state of Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered earlier this year, it seems that Ubisoft has finally figured out Nintendo's quirky handheld hybrid. Six years later, we're on the cusp of another hardware generation, and I'm playing the same game on Nintendo Switch. It was a game that would straddle generations-a high point of Ubisoft's technical prowess, with vast islands to explore and seamless seafaring action. Black Flag was one of the first previews I ever wrote. USgamer officially launched at E3 2013, when we were getting details for the next generation of consoles, what would become the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag marked the beginning of my time at this site.
