I played the original Black Flag for the first time about two years before the remake came. I have been playing through all AC games in order (up to odyssey now).
At no point during my play through did I feel like the game needed a remake. Sure the graphics could be better on modern hardware, but they were beautiful as they were. The gameplay gripes that I had are all inherent to the AC franchise. There was, IMO, not nearly enough that could warrant a remake. And like I said this was my first time so it’s not nostalgia or rose tinted glasses.
AC1 on the other hand is lacking in a lot of areas - perhaps even too much for a remake, since it wouldn’t be “true to the original.”

The bad part is the remake removed all the current world story. Its just the animus movie reel play. I was a big fan of sneaking around and being in the boss’s office and seeing the lobby and all that modern day puzzle stuff too.

huh, different folks & different strokes, the modern day office stuff is the one thing that put me off on every AC game I’ve tried.
I was having way more fun doing yarharhar shenanigans than conversing at the watercooler

The up-to-date ones are no longer holding my interest but the modern line is what introduced the Isu in Revelations which was the best of all the modern day story. It has definitely gone downhill since that game. Something about the Abstergo lab in the first game burned into my child brain and lingered. Kind of felt like a 2nd game inside the game.
