That's probably the problem here, i suspect. If the game was a success i think that Capcom and NT would be more optimistic and "open" to give new information after all the ****storm that ruled in the internet by the release of the game; mainly considering that Capcom was optimistic in the beggining and talking about a DMC game comming at least in each 2.5 years. I think that Capcom will just bury the series or come up with something related to the old series (i don't know exactly what they can try, but up to this point, could be really anything, even a new reboot but in the same universe, with the same characters).
I prefer to just wait instead of discussing the DMC future right now given that it's purely speculation anything we can talk right now, i think that if we don't get any information about it at least in 2014, then i think that we can fear a little about the future of the franchise.
And about NT: i think that the guy behind all the **** with DMC fans is Tameem, he seems to be a very arrogant person, i don't like him. But i have nothing agains't NT team itself and i think that here are some creative people there that deserve credit, still they are new to the industry and don't seem to know how to make a good action game properly just yet; but they are developing over time, DmC was a great leap compared to Heavenly Sword gameplay.
