Destructoid - Ninja Theory talks overhauls and backlash.
DmC: Devil May Cry has been controversial to say the least. Ever since Capcom announced a new game, developed by Ninja Theory and starring a redesigned Dante, fans have been furious, declaring this a grand travesty of the highest order.
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.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them
2.
Dmc.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
Oh look, another DmC article by the biased fat ass.
"finessing":
Stop making him smoke
Give him white hair and red jacket transformation
Give him a patch of white hair
Making him act like Dante
Yes, they have "finessed" him alright.
And it's funny how Ninja theory thinks they need to explain a gameplay part of DMC where doors are sealed off. THAT IS GAMEPLAY. If your going to try to look for a reason behind why a door is sealed off when demons appear during gameplay sessions, then how about finding a reason for why your version of Dante has a "Devil trigger" and notice " " where he has white hair and RED JACKET.
Explain that mother fuckers. Oh yeah - Sales...
Also take great note of how they say that their version of Dante may act like this, and look like this, but that "in end he may change". And MANY DmC supporters keep saying "at end DAnte will become the Dante we KNOW AND LOVE".
The Dante i know and love was disrespected by Tameem Antoniades. The Dante i know and love is apparently no longer cool according to Tameem Antoniades.
So how does Ninja theory's Dante act and look more like Dante make him Dante? Because clearly Ninja theory doesn't like the character Dante, and just loved that Capcom gave them the chance to corrupt it with their own bullshit.
