You guys know me - i dislike DmC and i dislike Tameem Antoniades more.
Capcom gave Dante to Ninja theory. I was ****ed off. I thought many bad things about Capcom, and more about Tameem Antoniades for making a character that's a copy of himself and labeling it "Dante".
Then i started to think about Hideki Kamiya, and that he was original creator of Dante. I thought Capcom had scammed Dante off Hideki (the character) after he left the company.
One person enlighteened me, and told me "Capcom paid Hideki to create Dante". And the feeling you have after you realize you've been a fool. For example you overreacted and got angry at someone, only to find out that what you did was stupid. And your overreaction was just you interpreting things wrongly. I felt that way. I thought "Capcom owns Dante...They own him". And with that all the things i thought of Capcom slipped out of my mind. No longer did i think Capcom is *insert bad word*. Because they rightfully own DMC and the character Dante.
Now a issue (of MANY!) i have with DmC is the flag on DmC Dante's jacket. Debating with others that DmC has a strong british standpoint i argumented for that if the flag's purpose is to pay tribute to Ninja theory's country, why did they not pay tribute to this same country in Heavenly sword or Enslaved? Why did they begin this "tribute" in DmC.
And i said if it's not a tribute then it arguments for that DmC is taking a british standpoint. Because although "punk" look or punk movement started in UK, i doubt that the punks around world wore jackets with british flag. Why would for example a dutch punk have a british flag on his jacket?
Others have argumented against me saying "Ninja theory wants to show they made DmC - that it's their work". I have replied back saying "Their logo is stamped on cover, and they are well known to be the developers who's making DmC". And Ninja theory wants to make the fact they have had a major role in DmC project why not use a ninja character than a british flag? Let's go into a scenario:
You don't know who Ninja theory is. You just know "Capcom made DmC", and your playing DmC. Then you see british flag on DmC Dante. Do you then think "British flag means UK, and UK means Ninja theory!". No, i highly doubt that - remember you don't know about Ninja theory. And if you know of Ninja theory or noticed them enough - then surely you would also know that they have had a major role in DmC - the game that your playing.
Getting to the point... Capcom has a major role in gameplay. Ninja theory in art, story and music. It's a collaboration - Ninja theory are alone on making DmC. On top of it Capcom is paying, YES, paying Ninja theory to make DmC for them. Just like how Hideki made DMC for Capcom.
So what gives Ninja theory who didn't pay any tribute to the country they are in any clear form in Enslaved or Heavenly sword, to do it in a game that's not made just by them, and also is rightfully Capcom's?
We saw in DmC gameplay footage at IGN that a car's license number was "DMC 5", the car was old and rusty. How would you interpret that as? That DMC 5 is dead? That DMC 5 is rusty and DmC is new and exciting?
Why do i bring this up? Because i believe they put the flag on DmC Dante because they simply liked to have it there, and not because of a more wise thought. And if i am wrong, and they had a wise thought process that punks wore jackets with union jack then doesn't that prove that Ninja theory is taking a british standpoint on DmC?
