It's not my intent to be a wet-blanket, and I've defended PA before. But I think it may be a good idea to temper expectations. Either the end of the year release date is going to be pushed back several months, or the game that eventually comes out will be less robust, less polished, than many are hoping for right now. The idea that they couldn't put together a minute or so of footage or gameplay, couldn't spare someone, even if it couldn't be Kono himsself, to talk about the game, does not suggest good things. I'm in no way saying the game is in jeopardy or anything like that, only that the chances are increasing that this will not be the game people are expecting it to be when it releases. I'm still hopeful of course, but there isn't a lot to go on aside from hope.
I don't think it was going to be Q4 2016 in the first place. I'm sure most AC fans would rather wait until 2017 for a polished game instead of receiving a rushed game in 2016.
