I remember when Assassin's Creed 2 came out and it was the shit everyone was talking about- Ezio was That Nigga.
Pretty sure no one really gives a shit about this franchise nowadays. They need to do something cool and set it in a time-period like Feudal Japan.

A brother-sister assassin duo infiltrating the seedy criminal underworld of Victorian London? That actually sounds awesome.
I'll give this game a chance. Black Flag was awesome, and is my favorite AC to date. Unity may have killed the franchise for a lot of people, but I managed to skip it all together so maybe this game can save the franchise.

Jacob looks like the badass. He rocks the top hat and all black robes look well. I like the art style too. It looks dirty and dark. Hopefully the story doesn't disappoint. I love sad stories, which is why I loved Black Flags story so much. I also hope we can ride around the train and carriage Red Dead style (edit: trailer shows you can hijack carriages for transportation). This game needs some form of evolution with the times.
I'm gonna miss using swords too.
EDIT:
Trains also confirmed transportation.

Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
There's something about London this year that has a few games mentioned so far set in it. First The Order 1886, then Bloodborne (not really London but Yharnam's clearly inspired by it), and now the latest Assassin's installment. Curious.
Kind of bothers me that they spend more time and effort telling us about the different editions we can preorder rather than the game itself.
Hopefully the game is actually good, though. That or Victory has a lot of work to do to restore some of the faith that was utterly annihilated by Unity.
Also, is it just me, or did Ubisoft shoehorn in a playable female character this time as a response to the shitstorm that erupted during Unity's promotion?

I think Unity was a final nail in a long string of annoyances with the series.
While AC4 was a very good game, the series was slowly being drained of faith from Ubisoft way of doing business. As well, releasing two games in the series was also a contributing factor.
Looks good, but so did Unity prior to its release, and it turned out to be a shitfest.
