Any conflicts and arguments for the re-imagining of Dante’s character and appearance aside, there has been a massive concern among long term fans of the Devil May Cry series as to whether a Western developer can effectively create a successful entry in the much loved stylish Japanese Hack and Slash series. Ninja Theory are a Developer with a relatively short but high calibre resumé, having created other high quality titles within the same genre such as Heavenly Sword. I was extremely interested to see for myself whether this altered origin story managed to maintain the same high octane but extremely controlled action that was present in the original quadrilogy, or whether it would become a completely different beast entirely.
It's been a generation of shame for gaming journalists.
