I'm glad they are giving it some breathing room.
I hope they get it back up to AC Unity level of fidelity but better performance.
Syndicate was a big step down in lighting, effects, npc crowd sizes, etc.. I didn't really enjoy the gang aspect either. If they patched in the improvements in controls, stealth, parkour, etc.. into Unity it would by far be my most favorite AC game since AC2 Brotherhood.
Also drop the modern day stuff, no one cares about that anymore. They screwed the ending to Desmonds arc so hard then continued to beat the rotting corpse by continuing with characters from his story and his DNA.
I agree that Syndicate was a massive step down visually from Unity but overall I feel that as a video game (controls, story, combat, stealth) Syndicate was the much better game.
I'm hoping for them to actual try and bring back the modern day elements but not just shoe horned but with actual development. Syndicate and Unity were just terrible in that respect. There's a story there that Ubi originally fucked up but I'm hoping they can sort of kinda get it back on track and make it interesting once again. It's one of the things I loved the most about the original AC and ACII.
I'm really looking forward to this if it's true. I love the AC series but would love for them to step their game up and truly make it special again and I feel that the Black Flag team could possibly do it.
