Jake Weston from gamrFeed - "One of the most controversial moments in gaming for 2010 was the announcement of Ninja Theory's new take on the Devil May Cry series, simply titled DmC. Ninja Theory, developers behind the PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavenly Sword and the multiplatform Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, drew heavy scrutiny for their drastically different take on Devil May Cry series protagonist Dante. This new Dante, seemingly designed for the Twilight crowd, was universally hated by fans, and both Ninja Theory and Capcom received heavy backlash. However, I'm here to tell you that we as gamers should have faith in Ninja Theory, and that Devil May Cry is in good hands. "
Ninja Theory might have games in the pipeline, but that doesn't mean Xbox won't close it for no reason
Alot of speculation on their part. Ninja Theory has two games that have been green lighted and are in the works. Yes it’s always a possibility they could be closed but no matter how you feel about the Senua games. They do make a quality game. I personally think MS is going lay low for a bit, after the firestorm they experienced last week.
It's not for no reason.
The reason is they made two games that were underwhelming (Bleeding Edge) and didn't/aren't going to grow the user base for game pass.
They spent 5-7 years and this was what they produced, it's easy to see how they would be on the short list for termination at this point.
Apparently Ninja Theory is safe From being closed down https://www.gamespot.com/ar...
Already working on a new game. They are a 80 person team and relatively inexpensive I suppose to any other publisher
Buuuuut.
Yeaah sorry this is MS, I don't believe anything MS says. They have to be joking if they think anyone will believe them besides gullible Xbox fanboys. Once again MS needs to earn my trust back. Just when they earn some trust back, they always seem to destroy it and have to work to get it back. I still think they're getting shut down and canceling whatever game they're making because the game won't sell, again MS fault for not advertising it.. This company man...
I don't see Microsoft shutting off the lights to Ninja Theory. As a studio they actually have talent and have released some decent games. I love Enslaved maybe a sleeper hit but it's one of my favorites. Only way I see Microsoft shutting off the lights is if Ninja Theory releases games that sink faster then a lead weight. And there are fans of Ninja Theory one thing I would hate to see is Ninja Theory ending up like Bioware. Loosing all their talent and being a former shell of what they use to be.
It was just announced that MS gave NT the greenlight for its next game. I just hope it's not another Hellblade. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/...
Ninja Theory's latest trailer for their highly anticipated narrative action-adventure Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is absolute cinema.
Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.
badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.
LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.
It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.
Following the closure of 4 studios, many are now worried for the future of Ninja Theory once Hellblade 2 is released.
Because they're next come next year. HB2 won't hit some impossible metric within MS so they're getting axed in 2025. Leave gaming now MS.
Every xbox studio is in danger now because there’s just no way they’re gonna rake in big money from game sales because of gamepass, even CoD was rumored to not come to gamepass because it would canibalize their sales number.
Ninja theory games were never big sellers. I could be wrong, but I doubt hellblade 2 will sell millions. I would rather they go independent and make heavenly sword 2.
Heavenly Sword was a good game I will admit(mainly because it was a PS3 exclusive) but DMC is another mans invention. Only that man and his team shall touch it. Almost like Team Ninja but at least Itagaki's members are still there(some of them) and the head of the team is/was his protege. I am going to skip this DMC. Hell I should have skipped four but I was itching for something to play.
TGSI
I love Ninja Theory for creating Enslaved but I don't think they are the right developer for a Devil May Cry game.
Get them to make better PS3 versions first.
Ninja Theory needs to make games worthy, to some level at least, of the hype they generate around them.
heavenly sword 2 I will support, enslaved mehhhh, that silly DMC NO
