@Bob Think about it. The AC system would need to be revamped on a whole new scale. Without doing that, it would be something like the missions where the Assassin was left defenseless with few weapons. Chests would be a necessity and a rarity. Ammo can't be replaced so easily and shops will be more difficult to reach. Health would need to be monitored more seriously. Bad jumps and wall ejects would have serious consequences(thus reducing a lot of the freedom of parkour)

But mostly it would lack a certain survivor feel because we would know that the Assassin survives at least until he/she has children, unless Abstergo edit the memory like with the Templar at the start of Unity. But considering how other than Liberation, which wasn't part of the main games, we have gotten games where majority of the game was unedited memory, that seems unlikely. Just what I feel though. It would just feel unnatural with the current system. In the current system, survival is impossible. Your overwhelming power and arsenal against all foes as well as public Assassinations and 'crowd stealth' would need to be changed as well. In other words, we wouldn't be playing an AC game.

Now Prince of Persia on the other hand, that is a survival system.
