In other news, AC head writer Darby McDevitt vows the modern-day story will come back to the forefront starting with Victory, that the lack of it in Unity ("Nothing that was actually cut") was down to not enough time/resources to spare (it was all they could do to recreate 1790's Paris, apparently, to say nothing of the game engine problems).
You know, the solution to this problem would be to slow the fuck down and actually take their time making these games instead of forcing a yearly release. I don't need an AC title every year; I'd rather wait and get games that are actually finished.
