"Nothing needs a reboot unless that reboot works," says DMC's Ninja Theory
Tameem Antoniades of developer Ninja Theory is no stranger to fan wrath as his studio is handling Capcom's DMC reboot. When a reboot actually works it can make a series "survive."
Antoniades' opinion is "irrelevant" as to the reboot because it was Capcom's call. They went with a "bold step" to reinvent the IP but also to "give it to a non-Japanese dev."

Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades believes it was the 'lack of visibility' that led to Enslaved: Odyssey to the West's poor sales reception; lacklustre marketing.
It's "always a difficult equation," says the studio boss. It needed "a drive, a big push," and Antoniades doubts it got it. People "still even haven't heard" of it.

Ninja Theory's Tameem Antoniades reckons the digital revolution is "such an opportunity for fun creative games" unlike the "stranglehold" of the AAA retail model.
It's "crushing innovation and access to creative content." The price point is stopping consumers taking a chance - makes you want "a known experience".
