Like with recent reboots ( Batman, 007, Star Trek looking at Spider-man), there is a great potential to reinterpret the series in this new decade. I like how NT and Capcom know that there are things that have to remain in this version, while having the backbone to try different things. Some fans who may feel personally slighted for some reason can be swayed to buy the game if it achieves what NT and Capcom are aiming for. Change can be exhilarating for a franchise- we've seen it before.
It's not easy to take big risks and try for the big win. But when it works, man. It can be gorgeous. I bet some laughed at the idea of the guy from brokeback mountain playing the Joker. Look what happened. Sometimes its hard to see how these big risky moves will work until it's fully realized.
I think NT and Capcom know what's important and I feel that they can make a more deeper, more visceral spin on the idea.
One hundred percent behind you guys.
