I have no problem with Altaïr; his voice is different, and I personally like it, but from what we have seen so far, he has the same Personality. He's still the same focused, driven, emotionless Assassin we all love. Ezio is the same. He is still the same guy we grew to love. Desmond looks weird though...

Though I have no idea why Altaïr is getting so much hate. People forget this is a 17 year old Altaïr we've seen so far. He's obviously going to be much different from his older self. Compare 17 year old Ezio to 52 year old Ezio. See, big difference.

As for the series at the moment, I hate multiplayer and the undeserved attention it gets. Story for AC:R seems good so far. They still have some of those cheap gameplay gimmicks, but it still looks like a great game.
