Capcom “Surprised” By Fans Negative Reaction Over Devil May Cry Reboot

by Ernice Gilbert on March 7th, 2011, under Capcom, Hot, News, Ninja Theory

You remember the barrage of negative comments Capcom was fielding when it unveiled the Devil May Cry reboot at last year’s TGS, and now in a rather candid moment, a company representative said the reboot would be “one of the greatest Devil May Cry titles ever created.” And that the publisher was surprised at all the negativity the game got, and wondered why fans wasn’t giving it a chance.

“As for concerns over NT development skills please don’t worry. Capcom are heavily involved in the development of all it’s IP being worked upon by outside parties,” said the rep. “The exact same concerns were raised over Dead Rising 2 being made by Blue Castle games, which were totally ill founded, on what was an excellent game that ‘got’ everything that made the first game so amazing.”

Adding: “We were surprised at the reaction its received, we’d hope that some fans might have gone to more depth to look a bit closer at things in the trailer (a few have done).”

No release date has been given, but its looking more than likely it’ll release in 2012.

Thanks, Silent Chief.

    capcom is so detached from their fanbase its freaking hilarious. more than anything DMC fans wanted the return of vergil which is overall my favorite character from DMC. but no they want to reboot the series when the DMC only has four titles in the series to begin with. tomb raider i can understand why crystal dynamics wants to reboot that series there is about thirteen games in the series. capcom is just sucking this gen. no HD monster hunter, no Onimusha, cheating their supporters with DLC that is already on the disc’s of their games, resident evil with no horror at all, and now dante being turned into a emo douche that came straight from the twilight series. its ridiculous, but in the end i will buy this game i cant judge a game i haven’t played, i can only base the worries in the game by capcoms previous judgments in other IP’s

    Yeah I know. We’re starting to get review copies of games though, so I’m sure by that time, we’ll have it. Josh is review MLB: The Show 2011 right now… He also got Torchlight for Xbox 360 before it was released, and had the review up on the day the embargo was up.
