Hype down after the streams

Hey, I'm a big ac fan...played and finished all the games in the series except mirage (couldn't get myself to finish him... something about the boring story and underwhelming characters/skill progression).

I was very hyped for shadows (preorderd it long ago).. But after watching all the streams and previews my hype went down..

It looks like a lot of things stayed in the same place

-The world looks amazing as always..but feels dead..

-The npcs looks dumb and not very responsive to what going on around them

-The facial animations and the cutscence looks off and stiff..the npcs looks lifless

-The strange repositioning assassination animations

-the combat looks very arcade and not "weighty" enough...all the glowing things..the telporting sword slashing animations..no limbs cutting (except the over and over again head cut animations from yesuke). Lake of finishers animations (saw the one of yeskue stabbing someone and throwing aside and the head cut to many times...lokks cool for the 1-10 times...but not after that)

Any one feels the same? it's looks like the extra polish time (always a good thing) won't solve those problems.
