Clearly not in-game footage, one can dream though.

Expected some different clothing than what we've seen in the previous Assassin Creed games.

Quite sure the CGI quality of the trailer wont be all that far from the real thing, as a next-gen release is planned.

I for one am excited! I love anything to do with pirates haha.

Looks fun, will probably end up getting it as I have played the others.

Will be interesting to see if this can re-stoke my interest in the series, after AC:2 I just don't really care for it.

This.

AC2 was fantastic. Great story and imporoved gameplay. Everyhting after just felt... wrong.

Clearly haven't played 3 then.

Well I've played all of them, for me 3 is by far the weakest of the series in every aspect.

I loved AC2, really loved it. I thought Brotherhood improved on it in most areas and is probably my favourite, but Revelations was the weakest. I haven't played 3, as something about it just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

Series needs to do something different to get me interested again I think.

Not played much into the story of 3, but I have to say the ship sections was some of my favourite gameplay in the game. Immensely satisfying lining up perfect shots and avoiding incoming enemy fire and so on.

Although why this isn't just a straight spin-off from AC3, I don't know (like Revelations, Brotherhood was to AC2).

It's not the same character. Connor is forgotten already. This is his grandad now.

I read a long time ago that Brotherhood and Revelations were only born out of popularity. It was originally supposed to be 1>2>3>4>5 etc. (Although I thought it was only ever supposed to be a trilogy). They were just cash cows, albeit fairly decent ones.

It's coming out way too early but I'm still looking forward to it. I'm a massive fan of the series.

So, does Haytham Kenway have another illigitamate son, Captain Edward Kenway?
Or is he Conor`s!

Edward's son is Haytham.

Saw this advertised on TV today for release in November which seemed highly premature:
-Don't think I've ever seen a game advertised more than 6 months in advance on TV
-Release date clearly dictated by publisher i.e. usual rush it out for holiday season job - how can they know for certain so far in advance and so soon after the release of AC3 that the game will be fully complete to a good standard?

Not particularly looking forward to it as I found the ship sections in earlier games (haven't played 3) pretty awkward and annoying (much more like traditional platformers... basically more linear and less forgiving than the standard freeroam city fare)
