So Capcom just paid Ninja Theory to stand around and try to look pretty? I don't think you understood how this worked. Sure some people at Capcom came in to consult on the project (for your benefit by the way) but, Ninja Theory developed this game themselves. That's why they are the duh developers.
That bolded part is your words not mine. Let me take you through reality ok?
You can say "Ninja theory developed reboot", but that doesn't mean they invented it. Because some people take word "developed" as "invented".
So did NT invent devil may cry? No.
All NT did was do a job, create art, make audio, program and do other tasks such as story and cinematics. And yes they did alot, i am not saying they didn't. But you will be mistaken if you think that they did as much work as a new ip asks of developers.
They didn't have to come up with majority of reboot's gameplay or i.e shape up the gameplay from a creative point of view. It was all there from the beginning for them to reproduce.
Produce a fitting word. That is what NT did. Produce the gameplay, not develop it.
So please calm the f down. Reboot IS capcom's DmC.
1. They paid for the projects that shaped the gameplay (dmc1-4)
2. They paid for reboot project i.e NT's employees
2. They taught NT on how to produce dmc gameplay
3. They assisted NT when they needed help
So again...Capcom's DmC. Had DmC been a new ip and not a reproduction of original games gameplay, then yes it would be appropriate to call it NT's DmC, but it's not...so how about you come to terms with that fact please.
