Take one for gamers everywhere and contain the virus in the DmC series, I say.

Ninja Theory teases new project, unveiling soon

It was interesting, but it would have looked more appropriate for an inFamous game.
Nuh uh! Antoniades personally walked into Capcom HQ and interrupted work on DMC5. As he laid his plans for the franchise, they were left awestruck and bedazzled, and Antoniades shredded all documents for DMC5 and told them to work on something else while Ninja Theory made DmC.
That's obviously how it happened!

it would be cool to see a this-gen rendering of some cool live action actors.
2013 doooo it ninja theory.
Man... Jean is getting old. :/

They're not missing much.
Blue enemies? Prop/Shredder!
Red enemies? Trinity Smash!
It was a half decent game.

Going out on a limb:
I think they could at least get the artstyle right or interesting enough for the environments.
Characters, well, they probably shouldn't touch them.

Enslaved had a decent story (well, except for that ending) but it was written by Alex Garland.
DmC's story was done in-house and it was shit.
Torn. I liked Enslaved because I had some sense of "control" over the journey itself. It would not have been better if it was turned into a point-and-click game or something like that. I would like to see a REAL platformer out of them, cause in Enslaved, the combat definitely held the game back.
But with DmC, both platforming and the combat is great. As long as they have some Capcom advisors on their next projects...?

well I will be honest, I like Ninja Theory to a degree, they are very talented, it is sad their games are not selling, but every game seems to have something missing you know.
Heavenly Swords 2, an amazing game, but I hated the voice acting and some of the bosses designs, the story was good but the dialouges messed it up, the combat was fun but unrefined, and the SIXAXIS segments were totally awful to me.
Enslaved, an awesome game, really one of the greatest stories, you feel the connection and the development of the story, the game was so enjoyable, I hoped it sold more unites than it did, on downside once it was done it was done, it didn't feel like worth a 2nd playthrough, granted I got the Platinum in it, still I have other SP only games that feel like they can be played more than once.
DmC ......, well we all know how that went.
So for their future titles, I wish they redeem themselves, I hope for a great story like in Enslaved, a cool combat system like in Heavenly Swords I just loved the 3 stances Sword, and a better art style, and I hope it sells this time.
Lets see what they are doing.

I agree. Enslaved and the new DmC were great games, imo
I hadn't realized Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Theory games sold that poorly. That said, after Platinum's stumble with Rising, Ninja Theory are definitely the preeminent action game studio at the moment and I would love to see their take on it.
Going out on a limb:
NO!

Their art director is a really nice guy too. Wish I had a wicked cool accent like him.
I'm simply talking about the quality of the games. I don't follow sales.

It'll be a retail title nobody gives a fuck about instead.

I don't care what it is. Enslaved 2, Heavenly Sword 2, DmC 2? Don't care. New IP? Don't care.
All I know is whatever it is, I am going to be there day one. Love NT's stuff. Fuck the haters.

That's interesting
Probably won't get around to DmC until the end of the year but from what I gather it sounds like they both have similar problems as long term games
With 101 and Bayo 2 on the horizon I'm willing to overlook Rising regardless. Was always waaaaay more excited for those titles even before I played Rising
They gave a presentation on rebooting DMC at GDC.
Tameem has shown up in the PS4 developer sizzle reels.
The UK gaming press regularly defends NT and savages NT's critics.
I don't see how they could be considered underrated.
Like fine wine.
Don't even try to sully the good name of the greatest living actor. You will make powerful enemies.
/I will buy what ever Ninja Theory announces if they have playable Jean.
Yeah I hope not. After DmC I don't want.

I've enjoyed all their games so I am hoping it is not a sequel of any sorts. Would love to see them build something totally new again.
No. Please... no.

"Well we can't give you any more large sums of money for your bombas, but we're still BFF, here's a moderate sum of money for a downloadable GRITTY reboot to Strider"

At this point after DmC I kind of just want to watch the world burn
Strider, DmC2, RE spin off, Megaman, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, whatever. Just give it to me!

Especially for a British studio. I really don't know how they keep doing it.
Ninja Theory handling Strider would be an astronomical upgrade from the developer currently rumored to be working on it.
