Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades has revealed to OXM that the studio has received death threats in response to its handling of Capcom's Devil May Cry reboot.
Formally titled DmC: Devil May Cry, the game resculpts series protagonist Dante as a Westerner, and takes him on a trip across the possessed city of Limbo. The game's continually shifting, hostile environments are intriguing, and its combat looks silky-smooth, but some fans have found the changed art style hard to swallow. Series creator Hideki Kamiya has expressed disappointment over the new look.

"[Enslaved writer] Alex Garland warned me about it because he experienced a similar thing with 28 Days Later where people were upset that it didn't feature real zombies," Antoniades told OXM during a preview showing you'll read about in issue 81. "And now with his upcoming Dredd movie."
"So I was half prepared for it, although I have to say that it has been pretty eye opening to see some of the creative ways in which people have chosen to vent their hatred. We didn't expect death threats in comic book form or anti-DmC death metal songs!"

Ninja Theory, if you manage to ruin this franchise, pack your bags and f*ck off!

I too love these kind of games and i love the dmc series too...but guess what i don't love is they ruining such an epic character by r**ing him, cutting off his hair and throwing him in a so called DmC and launching it as a prequel.
Play the other games on this series mate. You'll understand.
P.S. - What you'll understand is that they ruined it.
