* Set in 1751. Settings include New York, a section of the Great Appalachian Valley, and a frozen North Atlantic ocean.
* Shaw Cormac is the playable character, a former Assassin turned Templar (w00t) who now hunts Assassins for his revenge as he was betrayed by the Brotherhood.
* Shaw will have to defend himself from Assassin attacks, and they could be hiding anywhere.
* Shaw's ship is called the Morrigan, and it will be able to rip through Ice-bergs and Ice-sheets.
* Naval combat is based on Black Flag's, with some additions. Chief among these is the enemy's ability to try and board the Morrigan.
I'm liking the badass cover, and the logo.
Seriously hoping controlled descent is available, but it prolly won't be, given that this game is supposed to be the third chapter in the North American saga (III & IV: BF).

I expect this to be a mostly reskinned 3/4, with most of the gameplay very much the same. Won't buy it outright (though it's nice to see an Irishman as the main character), but maybe when it gets cheap enough...
In most things, I would imagine it's similar, though the ice areas should be nice.
I just watched the trailer again. I must have been tired the other night, because that's an awful (and possibly offensive) accent. They couldn't just get an irish actor to do the irish voice?
I can see where they are coming from. Don't want to lose out on all that money from last gen buuuuuut, it is kind of crazy that its two completely different games for a franchise that has an annual release.
