The point is that because it was obvious the project wasn't going anywhere good, from its C-Team development studio, it's lower budget, none of the other big name third party people signed on. And when they did, it was just to shill some modern, very recent version of the franchise. It got Raiden from Metal Gear Solid Rising over any of the Snakes, Donte from the recent DmC over any of the more recognizable, classic Dante designs. Things like Cloud, Lara Croft, Crash, never got added because the prestige of the project was so low, the companies involved wouldn't gain anything for their brands by involving them. Except maybe to lower their image by associating with such an obviously budget project.
