I thinks fans should really think about this. if you look at games like DMC or Bayonetta, the style is very much Japanese and the combat takes a LOT of patience and replays. do you think general western gamers like the style of Bayonetta and love the amount of time it takes to get a 'Stylish' combo on DMC??
NO way, they love God of War because its easy to understand the combat, you can get into it straight away. its simple, it dosent require you to practice and remember combos. the style in God of War or Dantes Inferno is more serious and the western gamer can empathise with the story being told. in DMC, the western gamer just dosent care about watching cutscenes with anime one liners, they just want to play the game, they dont understand WHY Bayonetta is walking that way. its illogical to them and dosent appeal to them.
my point is, that Ninja Theory's philiosphy is extremely good, because they're making it serious so the western gamer, will think "oh yeah, i understand". and imo i'm really looking foward to what they develop.
if you look at Dante from DMC4, he looks awful anyway, he looks like a western bloke wearing Dante's clothes and hair. i'm gald Capcom have decided to go to NT and get them to do something different and hopefully awesome.
Edit: this is what i was trying to get at with my thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=116862&page=1&str=915882747#3
