Cheers, Makes sense. I don't want Brutal to pop though as its not unlocked until you have done crushing s and not part of the core trophy set. Legit trophy order.
Yup, just found out Crushing difficulty is already available to play from the main menu when you launch U3 for the first time

So, you can still play the game all the way through on Normal, when completed... earn Easy and Normal trophies
Brutal will then be available from the main menu, then you can use Brutal save (wait until the next day)
and you can play on the Brutal save to unlock Hard, Crushing and Brutal trophies
