For a game still in development, DmC is looking pretty spectacular in my book. Ninja Theory is working hard on this one despite some awfully annoying “fans” out there of the first four games giving them grief about a few too many things they needn’t worry about. Sometimes change is good, people. That, and even though this is an alternate take on the character’s origin you may not care for, I’d say the developer’s forging their own version of Dante’s younger days is the best thing the franchise needs. In any event, I’m hoping some of these irate fools lay off the dev team when the game is released and starts getting solid ratings. Of course, some of those folks will NEVER be satisfied OR wish Ninja Theory any success at all, so I say ignoring these naysayers and their constant griping is all for the best. Not so amusingly enough, they want a “better” game while not having even seen anything CLOSE to a final version, but I sure as hell don’t see any of them applying for jobs at Capcom or any other game companies…

DmC “Escape” Gameplay Trailer Shakes Things Up A Bit
Excellent in-progress footage from the upcoming Devil May Cry prequel shows off Ninja Theory’s skills quite well, I’d say. Amusingly enough, the first thing I thought of when watching this footage was that old Police song “When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What’s Still Around”. Of all the franchise reboots coming next year and onward, this one’s in my short list as one to definitely watch out for. I want to see their take on Dante’s younger days not only in terms of action sequences like this, but also for how they’ll tell the tale. Anyone who’s played and enjoyed any of Ninja Theory’s other games KNOWS they’re amazing storytellers who know their way around dialog and acting when it comes to the memorable characters they’ve created.
Capcom’s New DmC Makes Fanboys Cry At TGS 2010


Personally, I think it's awesome, this great teaming up of super-talented developer Ninja Theory and Capcom's demon-killing anti-hero. However, if you read a few too many message boards over the last few hours since the reveal, it's as if Capcom went around stabbing puppies with a ballpoint pen. On fire, yet.
Anyway, babies… please get over it already. It's a YOUNG Dante this time out, thus the lack of white hair. Smart gamers know that Ninja Theory can make some incredible games (Heavenly Sword was one of the great early PS3 must-haves and Enslaved: Journey to the West is spectacular from what I got to play of it), so what's the problem here?
