DmC-team met de dood bedreigd door DmC
Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades heeft gezegd dat de studio doodsbedreigingen heeft ontvangen naar aanleiding van de Devil May Cry-reboot. Maar Antoniades was er naar eigen zeggen op voorbereid.
“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. And now with his upcoming Dredd movie”, zegt de creatieve baas van Ninja Theory. “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!”
Wel verwacht Antoniades dat de furie afneemt naarmate er meer gameplaybeelden vrijkomen.
“It’s pretty hard for me to back the decisions we made without showing actual gameplay to the public. So until that time comes, and it will come soon, I just have to put up with the rage. “Though I must say, lots of people have come and said that they are now interested in DmC whereas they had previously lost interest in the series. We’ll see how this plays out.”
Later dit jaar komt DmC uit voor de PS3 en 360.
