Love it.  Pirates of the Caribbean meets AC.  Can't wait.

Love the increase in emphasis on naval missions.  That was the best part of AC3, IMO.  And an open world of 50 unique islands to sail to sounds awesome.  One thing that concerns me, though: The past couple games have seen a big increase in gunplay, and this one looks like it will take it even further.  I think the AC series is at its best when you're working with swords and blades.
