DmC also adjusted down. I'd say that one is a massive flop, but is it really a flop when it's made by a dev that can't seem to make games that sell?

It's a shame since gameplay seemed good and story seems interesting. I'll definitely pick this game up once it hits $40. Maybe.

And therein lies the problem, most gamers see it like this. It basically has a low percieved value, the 3rd person action scene has become inflated and lost the zest it once had. The whole genre has moved more towards gimmick and polish than gameplay in order to keep selling, DMC is kind of back to basics, and that shit won't fly in todays market.

This is also why a Resident Evil reboot that truly goes back to the roots will likely fail, the old fans of the series have long since moved on with the death of the genre (damn near death at any rate).
