I actually like it. I never liked the cheesy one liner slinging pretty boy from he past games anyway, and with NT at the helm I may not have to cover my ears before a cut-scene starts.
I feel the same as I did when Silent Hill got sourced out to Western developers. The games didn't suddenly turn to crap in Western hands. It all went downhill long before that. Once the series climaxed in the superb second game to be more precise. Part 3 was mostly a rehash of part one with a similarly dopey storyline, and the Room wasn't even meant to be a Silent Hill game in the first place. Shattered Memories on the other hand was a fresh and clever take on a series that's gotten more and more stale over the years.
Besides, DMC4 wasn't that great of a game anyway. Some creative genius decided we needed another main character that looked almost exactly like the old one, and if the game didn't have you fight every boss 3 times while backtracking through the whole bloody game, it would have been a pitiful 5 hour snack.
