I don't understand why some people think the Devil May Cry series is doomed if DmC or DmC2 doesn't sell well. It's not like Capcom will go bankrupt if this doesn't work. Nor will they suddenly believe there is no demand for those games anymore. They even said they'd consider continuing the old series. I say, if people want to voice their negative opinions about DmC or DmC2, let them. If there is more demand for the original style Devil May Cry, they should switch back. If there's more demand for DmC, this series is dead to me and to many other people, I'm sure. I don't care for DmC at all. It's not ''better than DMC3'' and possibly not even on the same level as DMC1 when that game was released. Some things have been improved, and a lot of others have been made worse, and I don't call that progress.
Nobody asked for a reboot, and it wasn't even necessary, as the plotholes could be filled, so to speak.
I mean, if Capcom decided to reboot DMC because of issues with Nero not making sense (among other things), that would be the first time Capcom gave a fap. I highly doubt continuity problems were the reason for rebooting DMC. We got four games, all following a seemingly different canon, and now Capcom suddenly goes ''well, this doesn't make sense''? I do know they wanted DMC to appeal to ''a more western audience'', but why? DMC4 sold well, and last I checked, DmC isn't doing any better. So... bad marketing? Anyway, you just don't reboot a franchise of no less than four games. You either stick with it or don't. No chickening out, and you should've had a plan for the series when you started it. You know how it goes: don't start something you can't finish. Capcom: ''Consumers? What consumers?''
I won't stay 'loyal to the series' if it has morphed into something else. It's not even DMC anymore: it's called DmC: Devil May Cry; a different product altogether. That's fine for people who like it, but I think it's harsh and inconsiderate for Capcom to just give up. You gave us a story that's become part of our lives. Now finish it.
I understand this may come across as rude and arrogant, but I won't keep my feelings in the dark and go 'it is what it is'. It is what we make of it. Anybody who tells you otherwise might not think much of their own opinion and the power they hold. Capcom hasn't really developed anything lately that's piqued my interest, so I'd encourage them to revolutionize their company. If they won't do that, too bad for them and for the people who feel they should 'stay loyal to the developer'. Loyalty is earned, not given.
I don't feed trolls, I kick them out - it's more satisfying, I feel.
