Would Capcom really give a rat's ass if it's not actually THEM creating the game? They could easily tack the blame on 'Western' developers not knowing what they're doing than take the burden themselves, if it's true that Ninja Theory is going to produce the next game.

I don't think they can do any worse than DMC2 anyway.
