What even is it now? Just a ship combat game? A strategy game? I just wanted a bigger better Ass Creed Black Flag.

That game doesn't get near enough love. Riding downhill surrounded by the ghosts of hundreds of other players for the first time was really unique, and definitely felt like a "next-gen" moment that I hadn't seen in a game before.

Wasn't that old Trackmania just released on more platforms?

After the subscription thing I find it hard to get excited about Trackmania again.

Looks great! But I wonder for that trailer money they could have made Splinter Cell instead

I don’t think that was the original plan at all. What I saw at E3 when it was revealed got extremely watered down by the time the game came out. I think Ubi rushed it out the door rather than nurturing it. There were also big changes to the narrative to make it less edgy/political and that was a huge mistake.

No, I mean how he’s saying each character was “paper thin”. There was much more emphasis on back stories and motivation the player would have to exploit in order to coax characters into your squad.
Also, there was more emphasis on skill trees for you to custom build the characters up. Lastly, the whole game originally revolves around permadeath for your characters, with that just being a fact of the dystopian cause you are caught up in.
Then on the narrative side, there originally was a plan in place involving an international political conspiracy. That got watered down into a thin plot of corporate in-fighting. That original idea was possibly a set up for sequels in different cities and you know that’s not happening now.

And it looks like they will be stripping all the modern day animus/Abstergo stuff from the games proper (going into the future) and putting all that "story" into Infinite. (Reminds me how Black Flag was set up in that aspect)

Good, that stuff is terrible.
