Game developer Hideki Kamiya of Platinum Games and recent Bayonetta fame will field just about any question on Twitter, whether he’s well-versed on a topic or not. Something he knows a ton about? Devil May Cry games. Kamiya was the director on the original Devil May Cry back in 2001 and a very good authority on what makes a Devil May Cry game great.
Not surprisingly, fans and foes of the newest game in the Devil May Cry series, the newly-released DmC, want to know his thoughts on it.

That being said, DMC has been on its own path for a long time now and asking my opinion of things is pointless.

My only opinion is that people continue to love the Devil May Cry series, both fans and its creators alike. It’s yours now.

Indeed. 🙂 RT @IdeologyLite Glad you feel that way. Ninja Theory is a really talented UK studio and they've treated your game with respect.

And a little later:
Enough of these tweets. I'll block those. RT @Brad_D80 Ninja Theory is a bunch of egoist hacks that put their childish crap before making a

Can this story get any happier?
Yes!
@PG_kamiya Thank you for your kind words. We are of course huge fans of your work and can't wait to play Metal Gear Rising.
