DmC: Devil May Cry

I was thinking (Psychological term for what I was doing is Incubation), and I know I, as a simple man, am not supposed to do that, but I did it anyway and so here is what I came up with: I am NOT getting this game.

Why is that? I'll tell you why:

It's not because of the change in Dante's look. It's not because of the trailer. It's because of NT's track record, Tameem's attitude, and (mostly) the fact that Capcom seems to think we are a bunch of idiots.

They changed Dante, not becuase of what they wanted him to be, and lets face it, there is going to be no growth, no character development that could possibly cause Donte to become Dante as he was at the beginning of DMC3, in case this is a prequal. I also have no intention of playing this as a Reboot, because I refuse to be apart of what this game is becoming. They did not do it for character, they did it for money. They are willing to manipulate us, the consumer, simply for the money.

Now yes, they are a business, they need money. However, changing an gaming Icon, simply to piss off fans to get easy press, is a low blow I will not tolerate. There are better ways to get money, and that is selling a quality product that fans will love, and also making sure that fans, both new and old, know what they are getting into.

I suppose you could say that I just hate their business practices. Resident Evil 5 will likely be the last Capcom game I buy, simply because I refuse to get jerked around like a donkey wanting that carrot. I will be taking my money to Visceral Games (Dead Space) who actually have a person (Steve Polouski or something like that) who talks to their playerbase on facebook, and answers questions to the best of his ability monthly. I will also be taking my money to Valve, who updates their games for free and add new content into it, also for free.

So, with my final words to Capcom; Enjoy your position on my "List of companies to buy from" right next to Activision. You'll be staying there for a while.

And my final words to you guys: Keep up the good fight. I ain't going to stand for this, and I hope you guys don't either. I will still lurk this board for a bit, but meh, I fully expect a full amount of derogitorry posts.

why don't we all just point our middle fingers at Tameem and Alex Jones and just LAUGH in their faces when this game bombs and ends up buried in that mexican desert along with Atari's buried E.T garbage:

my rational reaction to any and all of Tameen Antoniade's DmC interviews.........

I personally think we're beating a dead horse. I already accepted the fact that DMC would be a failure in my eyes, no matter how many copies it garners. I say, if this game really does turn out as bad as we think, and capcom is happy about the final product, then i say, good luck to the DMC series, im moving on to other series that actually stick to the basics of good games. TC is right on all accounts. Change is never a bad thing if it's justified and something people can easily accept, but this is sad. I'm not gonna wait til 2014 for a new, normal entry. Sorry.

Welcome aboard the DmC Hate Train. I'm your friendly conductor and I'm here to tell you that we're here to make sure Capcom and Ninja Theory feel the full force of our hatred. Be sure to present me with your tickets upon boarding.

But to change it to the point of being unrecognizable to the fans? There are many ways they could have changed this game and kept the fans fairly satisfied and I am not even touching on the attitude of Ninja Theory which has not helped this project one iota.

Unless the real Dante shows up many fans will leave this franchise and I don't know if with keeping the name and title it will garner enough new ones to make it up.

Instead of comparing DMC4 to Bayonetta we need to look at how well it did. I see no reason for a reboot or what they are trying to sell us now. They have thrown out prequel but that isn't going to work in my mind( this can't become Dante DMC3).

TC, I suggest posting this on the Capcom forum....not that it will do any good.
