It's funny how, with most big budget videogames, the closer you get to the release of the game, the less content the trailers have. I'm not going to say this new TV spot for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag isn't cool - it most certainly is - but you'll be disappointed if you came here looking for actual gameplay.

No, this trailer is all about pre-rendered cinematic set piece moments that you'll never actually see in the game. Not nearly as cool as, for example this one and this one. Certainly not even close to being as awesome (and informative) as this one!

But hey. Whatever floats your jackdaw. The game itself is out on November 22 for the PC and next-gen consoles. Almost an entire month after the current-gen console release. You know, because they apparently develop the game for a single system at a time.
