On on the one hand, this probably isn't the time to be jumping to conclusions. We don't know if the game is cancelled or will be cancelled or not. On the other hand, it might be a good time to prepare mentally for the worst, just in case. On the one hand the sites related to the game are still all up, but on the other hand I've heard that this is also true for MM Universe. If they do end up cancelling it, though, I wouldn't be surprised. What would happen if the guy most associated with the game design of a well-loved franchise jumped ship? Would the game still be able to continue at the level of quality it had in the past? My personal, somewhat snarky response would be, "Ask Hirokazu Yasuhara about that one." |

If this is canceled, as an act of protest I will torrent the first available rip of DmC for as long as my computer is on even though I have no way to play it myself.

Then we'll just get Capcom thinking it would have sold better with more strict DRM, and not only get more of their games with worse DRM, but maybe even a sequel to DmC. THINK OF THE CONSEQUENCES |

Now you understand the trap that PC gaming fell into. Pirate the game because of DRM or because it sucks? "We'll just lock the next game down with even more draconian DRM!"Refuse to buy it on principle? "Well clearly you don't like this franchise anymore, so don't expect a sequel" or "We'll reboot it 10 years later as a shittier game."You can't win either way, and it saddens me to see history repeating itself. |

DmC sounds like a shoe brand But it looks like someone holding a wine glass horizontally. Or a shake weight maybe. |

Adding on to my previous form of protest will be theater hopping into the shitty tie-in DmC movie. I hope it bombs as hard as the piece of shit Chun Li movie.
I can't believe it's also a movie tie in game. I only just remembered. It's like Capcom wants to fail.

They're seriously making a DmC movie? What the fuck?
EDIT: Ugh, I forgot all about the Chun Li movie. I fucking hated that. I went with a friend to see it in theaters, and afterward he was apologizing to me for wanting to see something so bad.

They're seriously making a DmC movie? What the fuck? Yes. Instead of basing it on the real games, it's a tie-in with the shitty game. Because he wants all of his games to be movies (mainly Enslaved), I don't doubt it was Tameem guy (the Ninja Theory dude) who thought of it. Fucking assholes. Here's the link: www.capcom-unity.com/snow_infernus/blog/2011/06/07/e3_2011:_devil_may_cry_movie_on_the_way?pg=12Talk about not learning from repeated failures. Capcom is seriously deluded. |

Obviously someone thinks game license movies are a good idea, since companies keep fronting the cash to make them. Apparently numerous historical examples to the contrary are not enough to stop them.
It really does seem like Capcom is falling all over themselves trying to appeal to the Western market. A market they clearly don't have a sound understanding of. Farming work out to Western developers isn't a terrible idea for how to address this, on the face of it. But they should probably be trying to do it with original works, not outsourcing all their core series. That's just a recipe for pleasing no one.

Hey, at least you got portable Netflix, right?
I pretty much saw this coming. Well, not quite; I had very little faith (but a lot of hope) that this game would be good, but given that Capcom's strategy was to appeal to the "fans" to decide on major design aspects of the game suggested to me that they were, in fact, floundering with a lot of pre-alpha design choices and no real creative lead to give them the balls to make a decision on anything. Like always, it's better that they went this route instead of releasing a half-assed, messy tack-on sequel to a branch of an extremely chaotic franchise that is still relatively 'pure' - in the sense that it's original and unique enough to stand on its own - but Capcom thankfully left it on a good note and declined to further fuck with it and ruin it.

It would have been better for them to just keep ignoring the series in that case, instead of jerking the fanbase around like this. Fuck Capcom.

I've spent the last few moments trying to come up with a witty and appropriate response.
But there are simply no words to express how I feel right now. I'm going to buy my copy of Ghost Trick, maybe the other Monster Hunter games, and then I can officially say I'm done with Capcom. I don't think any company could go more out of their way to alienate their fanbase in attempts to "broaden their audience" then them.
