Why does Double Helix get so much work despite being awful?

Literally my reaction to this news

YYEEEEEESSSSSSS!

Mr. Pointy · Jul 19, 2013

You know what, with Double Helix doing a decent looking KI and 2.5D Metroid-
Strider, I'm okay with them now.

So they fucked Front Mission, but I think that's more SE's fault.

Genesis Knight · Jul 19, 2013

Sweet, I'd like for it to come to Steam too, but I might just pick it up on 360.

Double Helix is stepping it up lately, good stuff!

KI looks great. I trust these guys.

i agree, even tho people were hating on it at Evo, i thought KI looked fun.

No Wii U version huh.....

Guess I'm deciding on PS4 or PC for this one.

Deified Data · Jul 19, 2013

THE TIME HAS COME.

Ashkeloth · Jul 19, 2013

If this is real, I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

That said, having looked at the wiki page of Double Helix after seeing the adverse reactions, I can see why people might be afraid. Here's hoping for a miracle.

STOP HIRING DOUBLE HELIX to ruin my favorite Japanese franchises.

First Silent Hill
Then Front Mission
Now Strider

;_____;

Eeeew no wonder I'm not familiar with them...

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since its a metroidvania strider game.

How can they mess that up?

The current screens don't look too bad and I don't like the way KI is shaping up, but it still looks better KI2. Double Helix doesn't sound too bad at the moment.

It's real. It's even up on their website.

-PXG- · Jul 19, 2013

Oh...now I see why people are upset that Double Helix is making this game. Not such a hot portfolio.... :/

enzo_gt · Jul 19, 2013

@Chindogg21 now
No new weapons, just enhancing Strider's Cypher sword

Strider can climb on everything and is exceptionally fast.

Well, I can deal with this.

Jesus christ, how do these people get hired to do anything? that track record is abysmal.

Cow Mengde · Jul 19, 2013

Good job Crapcom.

NaviLink · Jul 19, 2013

By Double Helix? These guys are on fire with Killer Instinct and now this.

I thought Capcom decided to pull out of collaborations with western developpers? Guess they changed their minds again.

New Strider?
YES! YES! YES!

soul creator · Jul 19, 2013

Hopefully, Double Helix is like the actor who stars in a bunch of shitty movies before getting the one breakout role that makes them a star, heh.

Psycho_Mantis · Jul 19, 2013

Nooooooooooo Double Helix.....game sounded awesome.

Tucah · Jul 19, 2013

Historically bad but new Killer Instinct looks great and they seem to have a lot of passion. Maybe Double Helix is about to turn things around.

I guess this is how they keep getting work. Previews have been tossing around the "theyre so passionate" line at their games since Silent Hill Homecoming.
Fool me once etc.

If it gets a good reception I'll still check it out, but my expectations are very low right now

Killer Instinct is already released?
We know anything at all about this game that's just been revealed moments ago?

Surely it's better to judge this 'certain pedigree' by (crap) stuff they've already released, no?
