It cares, Phil, cause they've said they wanted to make the games in locations where no game has ever gone, and they did just that until today. No sandbox game was set on Rome or Florence or Veneza or Jerusalem or any other city the AC games take place on. And the Renaissance was also unhinted for in the first game. Never crossed your mind that the whole "Shaun talks about French Revolution" was to turn people off their tracks? Eveyone was "oh, French revolution is the next game, blabla" and BAM! It came Revelations.

Everything is permitted, child.
