ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
....Sorry, that trailer was very pirate heavy, must have had an effect on me. I think it looks great. The developers have said it's a seamless open world, which sounds very promising. I've seen in numerous interviews that they're really hammering home the point that 'stealth is back' and they know that AC3 was perhaps too combat heavy and so they're back to emphasising on proper assassinations. Of course, it doesn't look it considering Kenway has two cutlasses and two pistols to use but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
I'm definately curious about this even if I was a little slightly burned by AC3. Perhaps the expectations were a little too high and the disappointingly dull protaganist and story, undermined with bugs and glitches, makes me hope that this one isn't as rushed. I think it needs to be convincing, it just sucks that I try to get immersed into AC3 but just can't with the texture pop in and NPC's being randomly generated right in front of your eyes or even disappearing into thin air. All this talk for AC4 sounds like the open world pirate game I always wanted. Here's hoping they have the time to give it that extra bit of polish. If so, it could really be incredible.
