A Capcom spokesperson has commented that Ninja Theory’s DMC reboot will be “one of the greatest†Devil May Cry games, and lift the series from an 80-average to a “perfect†90-average.
“Combine all the best elements of Capcom and Ninja Theory you will have one of the greatest DMC titles ever created… and that people is what we’re working towards.â€
After commenting that many fans felt the series “lots its mojo†after Devil May Cry 4, the representative said “the most important thing†was to retain the series’s “core DNA†while retrieving its “fun, excitement and enjoymentâ€.
The representative responded with frustration to ongoing doubts about Ninja Theory’s capacities, pointing out Blue Castle’s success with Dead Rising 2 and Dimps’s contribution to Street Fighter IV, despite neither studio having a history within those genres.
“Working with a developer is a lot more than looking at their previous games,†he said. “But the skills that they have and what they can bring to the table and how our skills at Capcom can benefit them in our marriage. â€
“We haven’t handed over the family silver to some strangers,†he added later.
“We are working with Ninja Theory on this together. We believe that by going down this route we can breath new life into the franchise and make a game that sits above Devil May Cry 3 for this generation.
“I promise that the game is in very good hands of extremely talented developers both at Capcom and Ninja Theory.â€
