As a developer, when you take on a series, the best thing to do is not bash the original series or its fans. Unfortunately, this is the approach NT chose. They made their beds, so now they must lie in it. I also find it funny that people can bash the fans of a franchise, just because they aren't particularly fans. God forbid a new developer gets ahold of a game franchise you like, starts off by saying that the original is ridiculous, then precedes to change the look and feel of that game and when you and other fans criticize them, they basically give you the middle finger. I highly doubt you would just remain silent and accept the new product, no matter how it turns out. That's not a fan, that's a fanboy. |
Didn't Ninja Theory start out making a faithful DMC design and then got told by CAPCOM to completely change everything and make it more accessable to new people as they hired NT to make a NT DmC game not to just make another DMC game, knowing that it would piss off long term fans. And isn't being rediculous what people liked about the DMC games in terms of plot and characters etc so is that really an insult to the old games? And if I was getting death threats and personal harassment of my family over doing what the publisher wanted I would probably give those people the finger (or worse) as well. Capcom had producers aparently holding their hands and visiting for a week out of each month, so it's not like Ninja Theory just went off and did their own thing by themselves.
OT: DmC looks pretty meh, but plenty of (sometimes great) games get user review bombed is that really news worthy? I mean I would wager most of the user reviews are from people that didn't even bother playing the demo first. Might pick it up on a Steam sale tho as the PC port is aparently quite good and it might be fun to go through.
