Line 42:
* The ''[[Valis]]'' series had lain dormant since the early 1990s, until its reputation was stained in 2006 by a series of [[H-game|H-Games]] titled ''Valis X'', which Telenet Japan published in a desperate and failed attempt to avoid bankruptcy.
* If E3 2012 has shown us anything so far, it's that the industry is still in the growing pains of the Dork Age. All the usual buzzwords are being bandied about: grim, gritty, edgy, and--worst of all--"realistic."
* ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' had its own Dork Age with the [[Alternate Continuity]]/[[Continuity Reboot|Reboot]] ''[[DmC: Devil May Cry]]'' releasing in 2013. The game was intended to rebrand the franchise, as Capcom felt that the series' image was too cheesy. As well as being pushed as the future franchise, appearing in mainline games and cameos, the new look was to apply to the film, which had been in [[Development Hell]] for closing in a decade. After the game's tepid reception, with much fan ire directed at the new look and characterisations, and the franchise returned to its original roots.
