The damage isn't done. Quite frankly, I believe that the modern day plot is fine; the execution of the gameplay is the problem. You never know, the new first-person modern day sections might be just what the series needs. This would allow the modern day part to be all about story & additional lore, whilst still allowing the gameplay to thrive through animus segments. Before anyone brings this up, the first-person platforming sections in ACR weren't in modern day, they were still in the animus, so nobody needs to bring those up because I doubt these sections are ever coming back. It was also stated that the modern day story will take up around 45 minutes of the game (depending how much time you choose to spend additionally), so there are no worries if you aren't interested much.
