Current Gen Vs Next Gen Versions of ACIV
Assassin's Creed IV looks impressive no doubt. But when released how will the next gen version differ from the current? Any ideas?
I'm assuming next gen will have more detail (Every time I see a demo, skin textures and fabric looks amazing) and better contact between objects, like Edward brushing up against bushes and having them respond to him.
Oh, and next gen will have a better view of far-away structures.
I think next gen will have better wind and water physics as well. Mostly cosmetic though: better layering in the environments, etc.

From a content perspective, everything is the same. From a visual detail perspective (things like proper physics on stalking zones as you move through them, higher detail environments and textures) as well as how long everything takes to load, they've said the next-gen stuff will be better.
What do you mean "how long it takes things to load?" It's a seamless environment on all consoles so there shouldn't be any loading expect for the 3 major cities, I thought...

you pretty much answered your own question.
And also loading into the game in the first place.
so what... it takes an extra 30 seconds to tune into the game? that means nothing when everything is seamless and there is no loading the rest of the 5 hours i'm exploring in the open world...

The only reason I mentioned it is because it's relevant to the topic at hand, since they've said it's one of the differences between versions.
Of course it doesn't make the current gen versions unplayable in comparison. But it's a nice convenience, especially since it sounds like there's a lot of reason to switch between animus and modern gameplay this time around.
EDIT: and I'm excited for the Carribean, but I know for a fact that I'm going to spend a ton of time hopping between cities because I LOVE cities in Assassin's Creed.
I have a feeling I'll be making stops in the cities quite often though.

Agreed that it may make a difference here.
