Very happy that there's no multi-player or co-op. A pure single player campaign will make me very happy. Really wish they keep the game called Victory. Syndicate sounds fucking stupid and honestly, reminds me of the isometric overhead shooter from twenty years ago or the fps a few years ago. Either way, changing the name is stupid.
As much as I love Ubisoft and they're my number one developer, publisher, third party and go to company, im really hoping that the playable woman character isn't being forced into the game just because of people complaining as people will complain no matter what anyway.
If the character switching is done ala GTA V, it should be good. If not, I wouldn't be surprised to see it become a negative instead. Personally, I would have just kept it as one main character and yes, a male character. Hopefully, this doesn't backfire and screw up the game and franchise more than what it already did after Unity.
Going by screen shots, im happy that the map is back to being a circle instead of a square box and that the health goes around the map ala Far Cry 3. Nice.
