| Scisca said: I think this is a great lesson to the developers. Don't make games that your fans don't want! Make games that they do want! You'd think it's obvious, but it prooves to be a very difficult and somewhat painful lesso that crapcom and Squeenix are going through right now. @DmC and TR reboots - old Lara was turned into a sexdoll and was off-putting. Everyone was tired of her, everyone wanted change. The new Lara looks great, ever since I saw her for the first time I knew they hit the jackpot. Dante... I think I don't have to tell you that he looks aweful. The old one was ultra cool, the new one is pathetic in every single aspect. The fans have been clear about this since the unveiling of the new look, so it only serves the devs right for ignoring us. Fans: "we don't want this, we're not going to play it" Devs: "we know better, you're gonna play it and love it, we know better" Fans: "Oh rly?" I'm very happy that this happened, cause it gives more power to the gamers. The devs have to listen to us and give us what we want. I'm extremely happy that crapcom is losing money since I'm boycotting them for boycotting Vita, but I feel sorry for Ninja Theory. They really should have stayed with Sony. Maybe they can still come back and make HS2 for Vita? I doubt anyone is gonna trust them with a huge budget now, so they can forget about going after a next gen game right now, but Vita could sure need an exclusive AAA quality HS2. Also, I don't think this is the death of the franchise. Every single game before the reboot sold 3-4 mil copies, even DMC4. DmC will never reach 1 mil, it sold less than DMC HD Collection! This clearly goes to show that fans know what they want - old school DMC and old Dante. Just make a good game with these ingredients and it will sell. If DmC2 was supposed to have the new Dante - just forget about it, cause nobody wants to hear about such a game. It's not the fault of the fans, the devs hurt the franchise and the fans did everything the could to prevent this from happening, so I don't get it why you call them a bad fanbase. Just listen to the fans, don't fight them. |
This isn't a developer problem, but rather a publisher problem that every has turned a blind eye to. Ninja theory was caught in the line of fire between fans and Capcom. They took the fall for all of it and its almost like Capcom got away cleanly for it.
