What Hideki Kamiya thinks
This topic is locked from further discussion.
[QUOTE="fend_oblivion"]of DmC : The KAMIYA has spoken! Good for Ninja Theory I guess. DmC is after all their highest scoring game on Metacritic. I find it funny NT said they were waiting for MGR when Kamiya is not involved with it :PSolidTy
It's a bad spin in the article. Pathetic writing in gaming journal and Eurogamer once again.
Mr. Bad Ass Kamiya didn't outright say he liked the new title or not, but they wrote he did anyways. He simply said :
"I've been getting a lot of DmC tweets lately. DmC is a very unique title, and I honestly hope that people enjoy it."
"I am also happy to see all of your messages, even though the first Devil May Cry came out 12 years ago," he added. "That being said, DMC has been on its own path for a long time now and asking my opinion of things is pointless... My only opinion is that people continue to love the Devil May Cry series, both fans and its creators alike. It's yours now."
--------
It's also pretty sad that Ninja Theory's said they can't wait to play Metal Gear Rising when he's not on that title. It's almost as if people will continue to forever confuse Kamiya with the entirety of Platinum.
Ladies and gentlemen(oh who are we kidding, boys) that's what Kamiya said on his personal twitter. A site where he's clearly shown he'll say what he feels like whether he's sincere or saying it in jest.

My guess on why he didn't comment was he simply hasn't played it and has no desire to play it and doesn't have a strong opinion either way. It could also be that Kamiya-san didn't want to knock a fellow developer down. It's simple politics. Either way, Kamiya didn't say he liked it or not which is not what Eurogamer claimed with the terrible headline : Original DMC creator a fan of the reboot. What poor writing. It seems that bad spin didn't go unnoticed though judging from the community.

Also, note to OP, metacritic is too early to judge as of yet, you have to give the final metascore two weeks -month before you know how this game will fare. I only mention this as you brought up the metascore. It currently is a few points higher than Enslaved, but the tallies aren't all in yet. I'm sure it will be fine though, I'm just giving a heads up as you did directly compare their library. Those other games are done cooking so to speak, and DmC is still in the oven. It's going to be an AA affair, just like Enslaved, which I said two years ago when I heard they were working on this game.
I was wondering what you were talking about, and then I actually clicked the link. I jus assumed it was a link to his twitter. Oh Eurogamer cIass move there.Ladies and gentlemen(oh who are we kidding, boys) that's what Kamiya said on his personal twitter. A site where he's clearly shown he'll say what he feels like whether he's sincere or saying it in jest.
I'm pleased that you posted those tweets, Kamiya didn't really say one way or the other. I do wish I knew what he really thought. He's probably too busy crafting his latest title, W101, to play NT's games.
I have read quite a few articles on what Kamiya does think of the DMC franchise. A few years back he said it's like watching your child go off and do other things after a divorce. You may not like the child's direction, but you only have so much power. I'm paraphrasing, but it was in one of my magazines a few years back.
Also, Kamiya has to be careful with him making headlines and getting flak from Platinum's higher ups on Twitter. Platinum needs more gaming dev allies, not enemies. He didn't bash the game as he was expected too, so there's always that.

The Kotaku incident is one thing(and not even remotely comparable to discussing the merits of a game), and when it comes to twitter he's a no nonsense dude. I'm sure he's been around long enough to know better. He's clearly had all this time to rip Sega a new one, but he restrains from that. I do believe he has no intention of playing DmC, but I also believe he's fine with other people enjoying another take.
He can be blunt, but he's not exactly Itagaki(for the record who I absolutely love for how potentially douchy he can be).
I stopped playing Japenese games after 2011:?
So this game is a BIG MEH for me.faizan_faizan
The new DmC isn't a Japanese game. [QUOTE="faizan_faizan"]

Man, I love Itagaki.
"Itagaki-san, what are your top five least favorite fighting games?"
"1. Tekken
2. Tekken 2
3. Tekken 3
4. Tekken 4
5. Tekken 5.
I'd put Tekken 6 in there, too, but you asked for a top 5. But man, Tekken is so bad. It's a poor man's Dead or Alive"
I'm paraphasing, but that's more or less accurate.
