Altair - But surely it's better to have two games that vary in terms of their core mechanics. So Comet will be more about naval warfare & Unity about climbing large structures. No matter how you look at it, it creates a nice contrast between the two that should ultimately result in two unique experiences. Even though we've seen naval warfare twice already, it still doesn't prevent Unity from exploring land base gameplay more.

Also, I hear what you are saying about the setting & I completely agree. But I have faith in Ubi that they won't make the same mistake twice. Besides, my main issue with the environments from AC3 was that there wasn't many interesting things to do in them, & the over-aggresive guards stopped the player from wanting to go on the buildings. Both of these things can be easily fixed. And if your issue is with the size of the buildings or the atmosphere, just remember Unity. It's much better to be optimistic - trust me :)

By the way, isn't there also the possibilty that we could see other countries because we have a ship? Maybe Ubi are planning on having England as well as North America? That would be a nice idea. Of course there would have to be a loading screen when changing to another country, but it would remove most of the issues to do with the cities. It would be a new place with large buildings to compliment it. Would that appeal to you more, Altair?
