Yeah I never played Sly Cooper 1-3 yet I'm still interested in Sly Cooper 4. I think I'm mostly drawn in by the graphics & art style so it has my attention.
As for DMC, I didn't like that they changed the character design either, but if they can nail the combat it could be a good game. I enjoyed Enslaved and Heavenly Sword by Ninja Theory so I have faith in them.
As for Borderlands 2, right now I plan to skip it. First one I just found too long and boring. IMO, story was lackluster, too many fetch quests, with thousands of weapons they weren't really all that unique, and enemies weren't varied enough and didn't take much skill to put down. Without the co-op to play it with friends I wouldn't have bothered. That being said it seems like a lot of things will be improved in part 2 including enemy A.I.
