I used to be a big fan of the AC series and to be honest I would consider AC II and Brotherhood to be amongst the top games of that generation. However with the largely similar Revelations and what I would see as a an overhyped disappointment (AC III) I am kind of losing interest now.
I don't know if its just me but with Ubisoft constantly releasing an AC game annually it has made the series go quite stale in my opinion. A controversial opinion I am sure but I can only relate this too the Call of Duty series and the way they constantly shove a supposed "brand new game" down are throats every year. I heard aome rumours that it was going to be a while to thenext AC game and actually thought this could do wonders for the series as a whole, a fresh break, time to perfect the game and even fans who have gone off the series like me could actually miss the game. Don't get me wrong jts great that they have the money and efficiency of time to release a brand new game every year, I just think that it may get to the point that many fans will get sick of this.
The game itself looks quite intriguing and I certainly think it could be a fresh new concept for the series. However I can't help but think that I thought the same with AC III but in the end it ended up feeling very familiar with just a new setting, there was a ton of glitches, the game didn't look polished, similar missions, story and characters lacked not to mention it took away the charm of the series. I just think if they took a year break from releasing the game, we could see a better overall game and some of us gamers might not get sick of the annual releases.
