Few games have engendered more Internet controversy at their initial revelation as the Devil May Cry reboot DmC by developer Ninja Theory. A Capcom staff member responded to worries about the new game’s developer and what Capcom hopes to accomplish.
This isn’t a sequel to Enslaved or Heavenly Sword! posted onlyonet. This is DMC it has nothing to do with previous titles the developer has created. In the same way that Dead Rising 2 wasn’t similar to baseball game ‘the bigs‘ that Blue Castle developed prior to the Multimillion selling DR2, and the same way that SFIV co developed by Dimps had nothing to do with Sonic The Hedgehog 4! Working with a developer is a lot more than looking at their previous games. But the skills that they have and what they can bring to the table and how our skills at Capcom can benefit them in our marriage.
Talking about the original four Devil May Cry games, the poster said, Lets be honest they were great games (averaging in the low 80’s on metacritic) but not perfect. We re now aiming to make the perfect DMC game that gets 90’s.
