Why does everyone get so upset?! With the recent development of a "reboot" of Devil May Cry and an upcoming offshoot title for the Metal Gear Solid series, fans reacted with a raucous of very... very angry reactions. Justified or unjustified?

Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.

It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.

Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
No. No. You said yourself, you just heard about this. You say, "Nobody takes the time to just think a second," but you clearly haven't done your research. The death threats? Yeah. A Youtube video by Gods Immortal Gauntlet. It's not a death threat by any means. Ninja Theory just wants your sympathy, but they aren't the victims. They've called the series they've been offered 'ridiculous' and have insulted not only its creator, but its fans as well. They're completely redoing the storyline. Yeah. So what does that make this? Well... Not Devil May Cry, that's for sure. It's closer to fan fiction. Furthermore, Devil May Cry is about fast gameplay - in 60 frames per second. Not 30. Like you said, Bayonetta was a good game. Yeah - that's Hideki Kamiya's influence right there. Do you even know who that is? Metal Gear Rising, though, that I'm fine with, because they've said it's something wholly different. I admire them for that.
Big fan of DMC I see. Very upset I see. Yes I do my research... Even though, err, not much research is needed to find that these escalated responses of something as outrageous as death is something that a sensible person wouldn't condone. Plus I'm saying it as an embellishment, because theres no way that such a threat is serious, we all know this.
But its the general asinine outrage whenever the beloved franchise is touched that i'm trying to say is a bit overboard. People that think that they have a right to the creative direction of a series because they knows whats best because um... They do? The logic doesn't line up. This constant return to overwrought defensiveness and senseless outcries that end up looking childish and immature. And yes I know who Kamiya is, and how he "misses" his Dante, as well as his role in the polished nature of Bayonetta. And yes Ninja Theory's comments about the Western nature of their game might come across as abrasive, but i'm just saying... Chill out.
Nerd rage indeed.
People didnt even had the chance to play these games and are already complaining by a certain style change in the series oh man guys just STFU and wait for the release and then complain about it if you dont like it but that wont change the fact if it will be a good game or not.
I suffer from anxiety, so I don't like change...
im not going to support this metal gear because i dont ever want them to do something like this to the franchise ever again so im going DMC.
