Literally every single in-game screenie featuring the main protagonist reminds of a beautiful painting some kid with a spraycan has vandalized by drawing elephant sized " where is Waldo?!" type of a thing in the middle.
With hood on, he looks like unlockable easter egg special guest character. You know, one you can replace the real pirate character with for few brief laughs. Like getting to play as that Metroid lass in a Pokemon game.
With hood pulled off, he looks like a frat boi wearing hoodie running among pirates.
The Hooded Assassin dude - mold worked great for cloak&dagger of mediterraen dusk of medieval Europe. He looks approx the guy I wanna look like when stalking evil knights from some clocktower of Vatican. He most assuredly does not look like a dude I wanna board lasses and penetrate ships with. He fits the setting every bit as finely as Blackbeard would blend in among Cardinals of Vatican. " In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. A(RRRR!!)men."
Setting of AC4 is (surprisingly) rarely seen and pretty much in all ways very exiting and awesome. Cramming AC franchise in it makes an incredibly poor and potentially damaging fit. In perfect world AC 4 is all about French Revolution and this otherwise great looking game belongs in/begins an entirely different franchise. Outside minigames and sidequests, there is very little in core experience of AC franchise that wouldn't serve to only burden this game.
I gringe at the idea of having to play this hooded derplord and..say, sit in tavern and share a drink with a dude who actually looks like a proper pop culture pirate. Any self respecting actual real proper popular culture pirates would proceed to beat mister hoodie to death surely:(
Truth now, out of the two characters getting screen time through launch trailer, which one you'd rather play in game that is all about life at them high seas? Blackbeard or Mister Bathrobe 1648?
......I wonder if they also stick with the modern day magic DNA scientist wizard sub plot?

Damn, AC3 looked amazing as well - I remember drooling over the naval combat shown in the trailers and look how that turned out to be [yeah, it was amazing, but the rest of the game ?].
