One of the things that was so good about Black Flag was that it was pretty much entirely fresh - sure we'd had the naval contracts in 3, but Black Flag took open-world sailing to another level. With Syndicate on the other hand, it doesn't seem like there can be anything drastically new, which was the pull of Black Flag. Hopefully Ubi have come up with something, but right now I can't think of any gameplay overhall. The best I can hope for until more is revealed tomorrow is a good, solid story, side-missions that relate strongly to the central story and aren't just all unlocked immediately, and no bugs or glitches.
