I'll always criticise studios and publishers that want to push "a great entry for new players" on franchises.

Developing a game especifically for newcomers has never, ever worked.

Cases in point
- Doom The Dark Ages
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
- Marvel’s Avengers
- Prince of Persia (2008)

Just make the game fun instead of thinking about dumbing it down for first time players.
