Ehhh I don’t think this works. Dante is too powerful to be a main character in a series unless they straight up Alucard him into saving and protecting others.
Think about it. What is a threat to Dante? Sure, other demons might hurt him or knock him around, but you’ll never feel like he’s in danger unless Vergil is on screen.
You know, fighting isn't everything. OP character can work if writer puts an actual effort into it. Look at One Punch Man or Overlord. Completely overpowered characters can be written well. It's just that you can't focus story on fights alone.
Oh yeah, it was Netflix shitcanning their entire animation department. No wonder they’re going with Studio Mir, they fucking fired everybody competent internally.
As much as I liked Castlevania, I think Warren Ellis brought more to the series than people think. I’m not sure if I trust Adi Shankar to write a compelling narrative on his own. Especially with Netflix slashing budgets and somehow saving this one from cancellation.
I thought Nintendo will keep that voice actor a secret as to prevent him from having too much power over the brand (they’d have more freedom in replacing any VA and pay them less).
Now I imagine Afghani touring with Martinet and them having “Wahoo!”, “It’s-a me!”, “Yipiiiiieeeehhh!” conversations on stage.
The performance category feels like they purposely limited it to one performance per game, otherwise we'd have seen multiple reps from Baldur's Gate 3. The performance for Astarion was great, but I could easily see the nod going to Karlach or the narrator as well. And no disrespect to Idris Elba, but what he had to work with in Phantom Liberty (enjoyable as it was) doesn't hold a candle to Karlach; I might even say that another actor in Phantom Liberty put on a better performance than Elba did, again just because she had better material to work with.
Also, this is the first time the fighting game category nominees didn't make me angry. Usually they omit some notable game that belongs in the category and include a game or two that clearly don't belong there.
This is actually hilarious. Never trusted them for a minute, but didn’t expect the rugpull to happen after just a few days. Wonder if Steam will refund everyone.
In what world is it a financial failure? Didn’t they just make an asset flip and potentially made millions of dollars based on player figures? Hard to imagine 100% of people refunded…
Very expected that they’d shut down soon after launch, after all the coverup they tried (and failed at) to perform. I just didn’t expect that it would be that soon after launch.
Not terribly surprised they are shutting down, but I am a little shocked that it is happening less than a week after the game released. I kind of expected them to at least attempt the old "we're sorry you are disappointed and are working to fix the game" routine before bolting. Then again judging from all the articles and videos it doesn't really look like there was any way to fix it or even really bring it close to the game they promised they were going to release.
