FYI - I checked on the "trainer" status of Dark Souls.

From one site: 3298 people have already downloaded it.

Looks like the folks who don't like hard difficulty are already cheating their way to victory.

So the entire argument of "hard or easy" is academic.

What is it with that guy?

No "easy" difficulty for anyone just because he doesn't like it?

Who cares about how much effort he is putting in? That is his business.

I don't see why he should project his need to show off on everyone else.

For crying out loud - I don't even play the game - and still this guy ticks me off.

This series need a reboot...or just a boot.

Like ActionManly said - they were talking about period maps. Which means Philly was probably in the preliminary plans until they started their historical research.

If you don't believe me - look up some dev team interviews. It's not a big secret really.

From the development team during an interview. I'm not in the habit of spreading falsehoods.

@Alverthian

They were planning on Philly being a central part - but the old maps of the city showed grid format. They picked Boston because the layout was more varied.

Actually, of everything presented so far...I'm most worried I won't like Connor for some reason or another.

Gameplay looks great - and there is always a lot to do in AC games. But it's been a while since they changed to a new main character.

So I hope Connor becomes just as beloved to the fan community as Ezio and Altair did.

Sorry Frozone007 - my previous comment was solely directed to PeterDuck.

Then feel free to let us peacefully enjoy our ignorant happiness. Take your superior intellect elsewhere.

Plus, they said they aimed to make Desmond "cool" in this game. I'm looking forward to what they did - especially because they are being so tight-lipped about it.
