Anyone else get the feeling he may not be as confident in game as he once was? Maybe I'm reading to much into it.

Also, frame drops to 22-25 frames!? Wow.

 

I`m trying to come with metioned open mind to this game. I`m trying really hard. But after multiplayer videos i`m little derpesed.

I guess my stance on it is, if you truly feel confident in what you're doing you shouldn't have to ask people to have an open mind about the game before it comes out.

And what that statement also says to me is that, they knew the core fanbase was vocal about the changes that were announced, and yet they still did not engage the community for feedback. And now they want us to have an "open mind" about the game. 

Like I said before, this has Spec Ops: The Line written all over this...Great SP story, but mediocre gameplay mechanics, and a MP that will seem needlessly tacted on.

I think DmC kinda destroyed their dreams of gaining a larger base from outsourcing. Like I said in the last thread, there's a reason we play the games, especially when it's from Capcom. There's a quality we do expect from these titles, and when it's obvious that one does not have the depth and quality the others have, it will likely get ignored. 

I think Capcom should atleast give its core audience some credit for knowing the details and work they put into their games, and expand, instead of writing us off as "niche".

You don't serve Resturant style Shrimp and Chicken Alfredo to us, then switch it up with store bought Clam Chowder, and act like it's the same but better. Then even worse, give up and just beg us to be nice about it and pay you to eat it. 

I know this is a business, but there are some important factors with success.

1. Knowing Your Product
2. Quality Assurance
3. Marketing 

Usually Marketing should be #1 but I feel that the other two are even more appropriate in order to make effecting marketing. So it's all vice versa. There are still people who believe that Lost Planet is a typical generic TPS attempting to cater to Western tastes, while another actually believes that the series was supposed to be centered around single-player. 

I'd say the Fighting Game Community help keep things like Street Fighter alive, and Capcom did well to expand on that. I'm not a fan of SFIV or MVC3 and I think there are a good handful of fighters that came out this gen that surpasses those two and quality, hell I still don't even think they surpassed their predecessors, but they did well to work with the community they built and establish themselves.

I wish they did the same with LP2, everything was so active and the community was packed, despite reviews they should've pushed even harder to establish the game. I know Lost Planet was still a fresh series, but they had to have faith in their product, they should've atleast felt confident knowing that they had a following despite it, and built off of it.  

When players ask for LP3 we wanted a bigger and better version of the game you can't get anywhere else, not the opposite.

You take an open mind to something new. When you go to something established, you expect improvements of the old along with the new.

Man I really wish these forums had a like system.
