For some others, it is apparently the case. And the willingness of people like you to just abandon the old series is more disturbing than the fact that you place so much faith in the new one.Asmodaius;277361 said:Indeed. Those who doesn't like this reboot keep making it seem like that those who -do- like it are now hating the past games and the past Dante's look. I don't know about the others, but it is not the case for me at least.
That doesn't make sense. They are not going to be able to maintain a 4 team collaboration for an entire series of DINO, so they will have to have something to fall back on. And they aren't going to abandon such a lucrative IP either, because unlike DINO, it actually has some recognizable features that make it unique.I too would like to see a continuation of the past series, as I have mentioned MANY times before on this forum, however, it is not going to happen in the near future if at all.
I agree with the first part, but I think you need to consider the paradox here. Some fans want it to suck so they can go back to the real series. Some fans want it to succeed so that Capcom doesn't drop DMC altogether. It is between a rock and a hard place. And for many of us, whether the game turns out good or bad is just as irrelevant if GOWSP turns out good or bad; in both cases, it won't be DMC.However, I find it quite unreasonable that some people think that because it is a reboot equals that it is going to suck. It won't be like playing the past games, that much I agree with, but it still doesn't mean that DmC will turn out to be a bad game. With that said, it could definately turn out to be a complete flop, but in reality, none of us knows how it will turn out! So by pre-judging it like that is just idiotic in my opinion.
As for your last statement, that is plain hypocritical. Prejudice is how humans operate and how we survive. We cannot be amnesiac phenomenologists, because then we would just go into everything naively and die because of stupidity. To illustrate: Have you ever smashed your genitals with a hammer? I'm guessing not, but I'm also guessing you don't need to try it to assume it will hurt, even though you have no actual confirmation that it will hurt.
You know what saves you? Prejudice. In some situations where the contexts are similar, prejudice is a useful tool and should not be disparaged. For gamers who have been gaming for a while, it is easy to tell how a game will turn out just from trailers and such like, although it is not foolproof of course. But it is not something that exists in potentia in a vacuum.
