I just watched the CG trailer. Some thoughts.
I loved Odyssey, so have very high hopes. Vikings were up there with Samurai/Ninja as theme I wanted most out of an AC game.
On the downside, I worry that the Assassin's Creed aspect of the game will hurt what could be an epic Viking game. Black Flag was an amazing pirate game, brought down by AC elements. The modern day sections and AC elements in Odyssey were the worst parts of the game. I'm concerned by the CG trailer that the hidden blade coming back was supposed to be the "OH SHIIIIIT" awesome moment, because it was the exact opposite for me. I actually grimaced when the blade appeared, because it's a cautious reminder that this is still an AC game, with the potential faults that come along with that.
