"Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 4: Black Flag will portray pirates authentically, Ubisoft has revealed. In an interview with Digital Spy, Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 4 game director Ashraf Ismail said that the team was keen to avoid pirate clich\u00E9s during the development of Black Flag.  &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t have talking parrots, we don&amp;#039;t have walking the plank - walking the planks didn&amp;#039;t even exist at that time,&amp;quot; Ismail explained. &amp;quot;We did take a few liberties from a gaming perspective. We have treasure maps, for example, which pirates didn&amp;#039;t have, but this is more of a gameplay mechanic. &amp;quot;Generally speaking we really avoided cliches. Even the way pirates spoke, it wasn&amp;#039;t as cliche as we imagine today. We have amazing voice acting in this game, and the actors did a phenomenal job.&amp;quot;  Ismail described it as a grittier, more accurate version of piracy, and one that Ubisoft was excited to portray. Ismail previously confirmed Kinect support for Xbox One, explaining that the game will use Microsoft&amp;#039;s motion sensor in a small way.  Ubisoft has described the upcoming sequel as the &amp;quot;best pirate game ever made&amp;quot;, and maybe the best Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed title to date. Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 4: Black Flag will be released on November 1 in Europe and on October 29 in North America for Xbox 360, PC, Wii U and PS3.  It will also launch alongside the Xbox One on November 22, and the PS4 on November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe. It will be followed by Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed: Liberation HD, which is coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2014. &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 4: Black Flag preview Watch a trailer for Assassin&amp;#039;s Creed 4 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
