I loved Assassin's 2 but this has me worried for several reasons.
Firstly the dev time. How can you make a huge open world adventure in less than a year? It seems totally impossible. This will surely have a tiny single player component at best, and lots of recycled assets. It will feel cheap.
Secondly the focus on multi-player,- perhaps a consequence of the ridiculously short dev time. Assassin's Creed was always all about the story and atmosphere. Shoe horning in some generic repetitive multi-player sounds incredibly stupid.
And thirdly this trailer, which manages to be badly edited, visually uninspiring, and set to what surely must be the most generic and stylistically inappropriate music possible.
I hope this turns out well, but I suspect it won't.

At least they can ripoff the masses with pointless skins/maps dlc's. -_-
No doubt, the multiplayer on this one will be dead two months after release. Why they didn't spend all this time working only on sp part of the game? Same goes for BioShock 2, which of course was not as good as part 1 and the upcoming Dead Space 2.... Not every Goddamn game needs multiplayer. :(
It's Ubisoft game, so no buy for me. Probably will borrow from some friend next year. :)
