10 Great Video Game Sequels The Fans Rejected
4. DMC: Devil May Cry
Oh boy.
Whether you call it a sequel or a reboot, 2013’s DMC is arguably one of the most controversial games out there. It was met with heavy friction since its initial announcement, and arguably never recovered. People simply weren't happy with a new take on one of Capcom's most beloved characters.
The biggest problems came from the changes made to Dante. Not only did he look like a completely different character, but he acted like one. The rest of the cast didn't fare much better, with Vergil's characterization arguably being even worse.
Valid character concerns aside, DMC is a fantastic action game that really does justice to the genre. Combat is incredibly satisfying, and it’s complemented by a movement system that’s better than any other game in the series.
The release of the Definitive Edition even introduced things like 60fps that brought the original release down. It’s just a shame those characters are so toxic.
