NOOOOOOOO!!!!! The last thing I want is easier combat, the combat on the first one was already dead freaking simple to begin with.

Well lets hope then that by that they mean "less of it"....

Greater changes come in the form of the combat, which was divisive the first time around, but has been overhauled so it’s noticeably easier. While it seemed a little too simple to me on first inspection, it might suit players who found the original’s fighting too challenging or fiddly. Attacks are now mapped to the x button on an Xbox controller, rather than the trigger (this is now just the barge button for opening doors), and as long as you hit the button in close proximity to an enemy, Faith will quickly take them out, sometimes with a pleasing third-person finishing animation.

NOOOO.... What the hell are they doing!?

Got to make it accessible for the masses. Thats one theory.

Just hold on to the memory of the first one and ignore the second. It's no longer a passion project/niche thing.

Why did anyone think they would do this game justice?

It's EA, after all.
