This x a gajillion.  They don't realize that while we didn't like the new art style before the demo, after the demo, the gameplay is the most important part of the criticism.  It's also unacceptable that the visuals and performance have actually taken a couple steps backward for this reboot.  Even though its coming out 5 whole years after DMC4. 

I'll just find comfort when this doesn't meet expectations and DMC will either get another real sequel or, at the very least, be put to rest.  And then NT can die a slow death, especially after insulting the REAL fans who offer up any criticism about the game.  You know, the same people who kept buying DMC in the first place.  The ones who allowed the original franchise to reach 4 games and made Capcom even think they could make a profit by rebooting the series.  Yea, fuck them.

Ugh. I take back everything positive I just said.

Who says that you are a real fan and someone else who likes the reboot is not? It's your opinion which I'm sure is shared by a lot of people, but it's in no way superior to someone else's. I'm not sure whether NT took any feedback into consideration, but to wish for them to close so bad is just wrong.

A. people losing jobs is always bad or at least sad for them and their families B. How about everyone else who loves their games? I could personally not care less about GTA, Halo, Gran Tursmo etc, but even if I don't enjoy or even like their games, I would never wish for their studios to shut down.

Its time to let it go my friend, the game is out some like it some don't, let's just forget about it and move on. DMC team is doing Dragon's Dogma 2 anyway so DMC5 probably won't happen, we'll always have good memories of the classic DMC games. Kind of sad that at the end of DMC4 Nero says "Will we meet again?" and good Uncle Dante just gives him a hand sign goodbye, I undernstand now.

I'm over it.

Just had to do a little bit of venting, lol.  Truth be told, I doubt I'd even be considered a HUGE DMC fan.  I played DMC 1&4, and only a little bit of DMC 2&3.  I do know those games were fun as hell, though.  And after playing the demo for DmC, I definitely didn't have that same feeling.  But, I suppose you're right.  It's best not to dwell on it.  I guess I'll just get a little satisfaction watching the sales of it.  I agree with a post I aw in another forum.  It's only going to be purchased by a very small percentage of the fans from the original series and most other "hack and slash" fans are probably just going to wait for GOW to come out.

And that's why I'll be happy when this game bombs.  And any developer who thinks they are better than the gamers who buy games doesn't deserve to be a developer anymore, and hopefully they won't be one for much longer.  Also, I deserve to play whatever game I pay for.  Think I'll play DMC4 right now. 

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.
