I agree that they should give it a few years, but since they won't I want to see what we are getting. The fact that I want to see a trailer is less so I can be hyped, but more so I don't just get sick of it & quit. I honestly don't know how I'm going to feel if Victory isn't the best AC ever made because right now I think I'll probably stop following the series. That's not to say I'll never buy the games, but I probably won't pre-order without seeing something ridiculously ground-breaking.

It's a sad fact that Ubi manage to make really great games such as Far Cry 3, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Splinter Cell Blacklist etc, but they can't manage to do the same for my favourite franchise; one I've followed for half my life (literally). And, as you say, it all comes down to development time. All the titles I mentioned had at least 2 years of development, & look at what good that did for them. They are all excellent games. But since we know Ubi want money, the only conclusion I can come to, as I mentioned before, is that they need to literally start taking systems out of their other games that are great & re-purposing them for AC. Yes it may seem cheap & lazy, but since the other games get longer development cycles it won't be long until they surpass what AC has copied anyway. So that would mean that AC has something strong to start developing upon.
