Honestly I think this is the only game that is possible of sucking more ass than Skyrim. Lets see which is the bigger blunder.

They never played the other games, did they?

>>115502034
The only one Tameem has played is DMC2.

He thought the first came out in 1998.

Where is the blood?

Fucking pile of shit.

The only way this game will sell a few copies is because of controversy and a few casuals that don't know anything.

Capcom is trying to kill the Devil may cry franchise by hiring a shit studio.

>The half-angel, half-demon Dante in DmC Devil May Cry is not the Dante you know from Devil May Cry. Strange yes, but there’s an explanation inside Dengeki PlayStation. The magazine explains Ninja Theory’s game takes place in parallel world.

haha oh wow

I still have hope that this is all a joke, and Capcom will reveal the old Dante eventually.

Right guys?

;_;

>>115502888

>Raiden

Well, /v/...at least we'll still have all memories and CUUHRAAZY moments from the first 4...

I absolutely cannot wait for DmC. Personally, I'm psyched to see NT take what would have been an outdated series and add some youth to it.

Of course neckbeards and basement goths will be upset, but the rest of the gaming population is pretty psyched about the changed. The style system will be more dynamic, they are FINALLY talking about Dante's angel side, and, while the FPS will be fewer, the workarounds NT are using are downright smart.

>>115502888
Hey guys, even though I get trips I still jack off to white haired 2-dimensional characters.

Here's hoping I can wank to the new one, right guys? Heh.
Right?

>>115503511
>first four

You mean first three right? Remember that weirdass jump the DMC series did, when they just skipped the 2nd game and called it DMC 3 instead.

There's only 3 games in the series, DMC, DMC 3 and DMC 4.

Ninja Theory are good at making interactive movies. Drama and suspense which requires very little input from the player, this is why Enslaved was much better received than Heavenly Sword. Enslaved was originally meant to be a movie made entirely in the Unreal Engine anyway.

They can't make decent action games.

Nothing new, just typical /v/ bashing the typical game

saged for negativity.

>>115504134
Except for DmC.

>>115503991
Yes, thanks for reminding me. But even with the pile of shit DMC 2 was, its better than this chud NT is pinching off.

>"Every player can play in his own stylish sort of way, going from angel powers to gunfire to demon powers and back," added Antoniades. "We're trying to make a game where you have a ton of freedom, where you can do whatever you want anytime you want."

So remove any aspect of strateg and just make it into a button-mashing fest

seems legit

>>115504284
There was no DMC2

THERE WAS NO DMC 2

>>115504157
Sage goes in the email field, retard. You don't sage just by saying it. Try not to look so new around here.

>>115504157
>saged
>not actually saged
I don't even care about DMC. I just saw you're post on the main page and wanted to show everyone how stupid you are.

>>115502829
It seems like they could just create a new character and change the game's title

>>115504284
Now in HD because fans like YOU asked for it

DmC will be so bad that it will be erased from existence and force DMC2 back into existence due to comparable badness

>>115504157
>saged for negativity
yeah, because rules demand we should only praise games here.
dare I say, the Skyrim thread is a fine example

Oh my god, it all makes sense now. The real guy pulling the strings behind this isn't Ninja Theory, it's fucking MOLYNEUX. Sweet Jesus Capcom, what are you getting yourselves into?

>We had Ninja Theory think about what Dante would look like if he was 'cool' from an overseas perspective.

Here we go again with the coolness. Fuck this gay earth.

I wonder if they'e actually gauging Japan's reaction to new Dante. As far as I know, they hate it - pic related.

You manchildren need to grow the fuck up.

>>115506482

Nope.

Some more new info

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/31/dmc-devil-may-cry-takes-place-in-a-parallel-world-with-a-differ
ent-dante/

and this week Famitsu will do a cover on this game

>>115506607

Well, at least they finally decided it was a reboot and not a prequel. So now this faggot isn't tainting the real Dante's backstory.

>>115506482
It did make fundamental improvements that were carried on to later games, but most of the time you couldn't put them to good use because enemies were so weak you could literally shoot them to death; guns in DMC are usually meant for juggling purposes in combos, not for the basis of combat.

>>115506446
The original creator of TST seems to have vanished, probably busy with other things. However:

>HD collection released.
>Someone makes TST HD, revitalising the tournaments.

>>115506681
Ninja Theory have pretty much always said that it was a reboot. The only source of contradiction is that Capcom during interviews always seems to refer to it as a prequel, so people get their wires crossed.

At least it's now established in-game that it's a reboot, so that'll hopefully calm a few heads down.

>>115502313
DMC games had blood?

>>115501859
>>He has to be appealing to Japanese people as well. oh really?

This brings the question of what the hell is appealing to the Japanese

>>115504134
Why is it that you people say that NT do interactive movies?

What makes their games "interactive movies" and not other games like the Arkham games, DMC, Brutal Legend or Ninja Gaiden?

>>115502034
Perhaps they stopped at DMC2

>>115506482
for it to be massive, you surely must have some examples of this change
care to share your knowledge with us?

Looking forward to playing a style over substance God of War clone, /v/?

God damn, at least get Andy Serkis, Ninja Theory.

>>115507071
>>style over substance
Hasn't DMC always been that?
>>God of War clone, /v/?
If this game is at least half as good as God Of War 2 then to me it's better then any DMC game

>>115506955
except for DMC4, all the others have blood

>>115506446

I never remember the game that image is from.

>>115507286
Huh, Must have missed that
>>115507071
>>at least get Andy Serkis

Sadly I think he was to busy with Rise of the Planet Of the apes and tintin to find time for DmC

But heard someone say that the narration voice in the first trailer was Serkis

>>115507368
Asuras Wrath

If only there was barber or hairdresser in the game.

>>115507215
>willing to put this game on a higher pedestal than the rest of the series
if you call yourself a fan, then 1/10

>>115507368
Is it Asura's Wrath? I haven't watched any trailers since the first one.

>>115507286
Are you referring to cutscenes or combat? There's a few instances of blood on DMC4, for example when Dante 'kills' Sanctus and when Nero gets stabbed by Agnus.

>>115507466
Oh man, I would throw my money at the screen if I could get this haircut in game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHNGXHFZcZw .

>>115507477
I don't really call myself a fan

Sure I enjoy the series but I don't really care about it that much compared to you people.

But I said
>>If It's Half as good as God of War 2

and I'm pretty sure it won't be even that

>>115507286
>DMC4
>not having blood
was it ketchup in all those cutscenes and stuff then?

>>115507488
too moderate.
take a look at DMC1: Phantom and Griffon's executions, Dante getting Alastor
DMC2: well, except for gameplay, I don't remember any particular instances
DMC3: Dante and Vergil's duels, Jester screwing up Lady's leg

>>115507791
So there is blood during cutscenes but not gameplay?

So why did >>115502313 mean with his comment?

>>115506955
Did you just dis Brutal Legend from a non gameplay standpoint?

>>115507791
I'd agree with you that it's less than 1 and 3, but a majority of the bloodshed in DMC3 was down to the storyline: Vergil 2 was bloody because Vergil wanted Dante's blood for the seal, same with Jester cutting up Lady's leg.

For DMC1? Probably to add to the horror element of it, which is going to be nonexistent in DmC.;_;

>>115506955

>This brings the question of what the hell is appealing to the Japanese

Japanese people absolutely hate anything that isn't made in Japan. Our games and systems sell like shit there. They will only see this as a Devil May Cry rip of by lesser people. Only items that do well in japan that aren't made in Japan are considered hipster or foreign much like the world feels about German cars.

>>115507991
Well there are flaws in Brutal Legend

Some which are tied to gameplay. I said Brutal Legend because I had a hard time coming up with something else

>>115508060
DMC1 had horror elements?

>>115507286
Devil May Cry 4 had no blood?

>>115507920
of course not, I only cared to mention moments where blood was more explicit than any DMC4 cutscene
but of course, DMC1~3 all have blood in gameplay, unless you kill monsters like statues.

>>115508220
Did the DMC series even sell well in Japan?
>>Only items that do well in japan that aren't made in Japan are considered hipster or foreign much like the world feels about German cars.

People are hating on German Cars?

Oh what a sad world we live in

>>115508273
care to show more examples beyond the opening cutscene, sir?

doesn't matter how good this game is everyone will hate it because of the protag's hair color

>We're trying to incorporate elements that were already in DMC but talk about them like they are new, in the hopes that people will forget the previous games did it better
I should stop coming to these threads, they only make me mad.
I guess we'll see how good the game is when it's out, but I can't say I have high hopes

>>115508220
>Japanese people absolutely hate anything that isn't made in Japan.
suddenly generals.
tons of them

>>115508264
>DMC1 had horror elements?

Really now?
DMC1 had the most haunted atmosphere and the spookiest soundtrack of the series. DMC1 was originally a Resident Evil prototype, so it was meant to be and ended up quite eerie.

>>115508273
Thanks bro, I was looking for that.

>Dantedoesn'tcarewhattimeofthemonthitis.jpg

>>115508435
If you tell me what amount of blood and where should it be so blood can be considered blood.

>>115508435
I already gave you another example - when Credo stabs Nero during the Yamato cutscene.

I get the feeling we've encountered each other before.

>>115508617
>>the spookiest soundtrack of the series

I can only recall two

This one

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nutP8UtbjR0

and the one they play when you are in a shop. Neither which are spooky to me

>>DMC1 had the most haunted atmosphere

Good point

>>115508624
the point is that this game showed rare instances of blood compared to the previous games
its not a matter of having or not, but of moderation

>>115508760
Well if it's your opinion then there's not much I can do about it. However, the one you linked to isn't particularly scary. This is the type of thing I mean:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr2AyMvGF1A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwklOTpTTrk

I saw Devil May Cry for 4€ at a second hand vidya store yesterday.
y/n

>>115509066
ok the first one is somewhat scary

Second not so much

Anyway lets hope for a story trailer at the VGAs

ABSOLUTELY YES

At least I can thank this game for intruding me to The Glitch Mob

>>115509216
Can't go wrong with that price, go for it. But just remember there's a HD collection coming out in February with DMC1-3 in HD.

If you get it, feel free to come into a DMC general and bug us with questions, we're totally ready for it.

well, I'd say it is spookier than 2~4. Temen-ni-gru was supposed to feel like a haunted tower, but there wasn't a single moment of horror. Fortuna castle's cemetery was spooky during the initial cutscene, but once you ripped the insects out of their cloaks, the magic was over.

post >>115508607 nailed it

>>115509611
There was

Off-Screen

>>115509530
Funny story

the same anime that had him eat strawberry ice cream all the time also showed him drinking Jack Daniels during the ending

>>115509611

We know Dante doesn't smoke, but has it ever been said he doesn't drink?

>>115509611
but there was, but only for 3 seconds

and implied

>>115509530
Patty ate them. Slut.

>>115509611
Strawberry sundaes aren't exclusive to the anime, they're also in the manga. The manga also introduced him loving tomato juice, but nobody really uses that one.

>>115509715
Tony Redgrave

>>115509530
>>115509611
It was heavily implied Dante drank liquor during the credits after every episode. It also ties in perfectly with his appearance in DMC4. He just LOOKS like a drunk.

>>115509731
Kamiya said he wanted to keep Dante clean of alcohol and cigarettes. However, in the DMC novel (which was endorsed by Kamiya) that explains the whole Tony Redgrave backstory, he participates in drinking contests. In the DMC anime, there's also a bottle of Jack Daniels on his desk.

He has never smoked in any media though, until now.

STOP

>>115509816
lol Dante looks like he's up for some Jack Daniels

>>115509887

I know Kamiya wanted him free of cigarettes because he feels smoking to look cool is retarded, but I never saw him mention the booze.

And the booze is a lot of fun in moderation.

if tipple then DmC will be the best DMC ever and everyone will love it and all other DMC games shall be made like it and by Ninja Theory

Narcissism gaems.

>>115510048
The alcohol comment was made in passing, but the cigarettes he made a bigger deal of. I don't think he minded Dante drinking in the novels because it was part of his past as Tony Redgrave.

In the novel, I'm pretty sure in the drinking contest he drinks a keg filled of vodka. Not even kidding.

Am I kawaii Uguu~ enough for you /v/ ?

>>115510048
I thought Japanese love booze?

Oh God, I just noticed this while listening to the DMC1 OST.

Stay crazy Japan.

>>115510048
It also mentions in the book he doesn't drink before a misson, so that's probably why we never see him drink.

Off mission >>115510265

>>115510358
They love Sake

Nothing else

>>115510358

Who doesn't fucking love booze?

>>115510358
It's not really a cultural thing, it's more to do with the fact that he wanted to make Dante a 'role model' character.

>>115509356
>>115509339

Yeah okay, I'll pick it up tommorow or so.
Cheers govs.

>>115510550

Sure, but drinking every now and then isn't bad. Hell, it's healthy.

>>115510464
I tried cider, beer, whine and Moonshine made in Southern Europe

I only liked cider

>>115510443
something something alcohol
something something rice

>>115510612
Only wine is. If you are at the right age and drink two glasses a day

>>115510647
I mean wine

>>115510550
After playing DMC1, 3 and 4 then Dante is someone who I could not call a good role model

>>115510647

Well, I only started drinking seriously at 22, because all hard liquor I tried tasted like ass.

Then I realized it tasted like ass because my friends, worried about my inexperience, kept feeding me ice with that shit and I wasn't getting that delicious burning feeling.

>>115510612
I know it is, I feel the same way, but it was a creative decision by Kamiya to do that. I doubt he's opposed to alcohol though; Bayonetta drinks a cocktail in one of the first cutscenes in the game and Rodin runs a bar.

>>115504370
Hey retard I'm not that guy but you can still sage a post with noko+sage just like that in the email field. Try it out. It doesn't even show you're saging.

>yurotard thinking he knows how things are in other places of the world
You're way off the mark, by the way. But I'm sure you would know better, not living here and all.

>>115510796
>After playing DMC1, 3 and 4 then Dante is someone who I could not call a good role model

Kamiya only worked on DMC1. He designed Dante to be like an 80s B-movie hero, and kids often looked up to those type of characters. I'm pretty sure when he was designing him, he was working with that frame of mind.

However, as we've gotten olden, we don't really have 'role model' characters anymore. Capcom became more concerned with making an entertaining character, but they still kept him free from cigarettes and alcohol in the games.

I'd still let Uncle Dante take care of my kids though.

>Not drinking lukewarm rum right out of the bottle
>2011

How was Dante not a good role model in DMC4?

Aside from the mass-murdering, he's downright paternal with Nero.

>>115511206
Well there WAS that whole freedom fries thing

I still think the original Dante is cool... Slicing and dicing at the sound of heavy metal with over the top action will always look cool to me. Now we get an angsty meth addicted teen who flies all day while sparkling and grappling everything for half an hour in slow mo, to the sound of WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWSKREEEWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB

>>115511464
He's arguably the goofiest in DMC4, and of course, OH NO TEACHING KIDS BAD THINGS. Pic related is a good example.

Uncle Dante is best Dante though.

>>115511656
That was only in the white house kitchen (thought some restaurants followed suit) but for the most part Americans are very open to things from out of the country.

I
am so fucking angry
at the goddamn second part

Who the fuck doesn't like the way Dante was in 3?
I once threw a party on Halloween and I was playing DMC3 to pass the time wbefore everyone got there, and a few days after all my friends had bought the game just for the cutscenes

>>115511932
>>Who the fuck doesn't like the way Dante was in 3?

I don't

In fact I think part of me wants him dead

>>115512025
Go die in a painful manner

more about the combat:

At Gamescom 2011, a new gameplay teaser was released. It shows that Dante can transform his sword into an axe, a scythe, and a spine-like grappling hook which works like Nero's Snatch ability. It was also revealed that Dante is retconned to be an angel/demon hybrid, instead of being a demon/human one[3]. Because of this, game mechanics were also changed: there will be three modes available during combat, "angel", "demon" and "normal". "Demon" and "Angel" modes are activated by holding one of the trigger buttons, which then allow different functions of the normal face buttons to be used. There will be a variety of angelic and demonic weapons available for Dante, the scythe being one of the angelic weapons, and a battle axe one of the demonic. There will also be two different sets of pistols. With Dante's weapons and utilities changeable on the fly, creative combination attacks will be easier to string together. There will be a bigger emphasis on the aerial combat, juggling enemies defenselessly in the air as players string together long and varied combination attacks. Dante's Devil Trigger-like state also plays off the new aerial combat, which launches all enemies into the air, where he can attack them all defenselessly for as long as necessary, although it will end when he sets foot on the ground.[4]His character design was also altered again greatly: he looks more muscular, has a thicker face more like the classic Dante's, his white hair is much less visible, and his eyes are a darker silver color.

don't blame him. the first missions show a completely cocky and annoying Dante for those used with his behavior in DMC 1 and 2. his 'tude gets better explained and more comprehensible as the game progresses and this guy probably never got far in it.
unless he finished the game and still hates him, then it's hopeless

I can't be the only one who thought DMC was overdone and made to appeal to try hard goth kids on the first place, right? He's a "soopar cool angle deemon that doesn't care about anything. he identfieis with me in surburbia!"

>>115512997
His appeal is that no one identifies with him. He's strong, cheesey, over the top and powerful. Kind of like Superman and Goku.

>>115512875
I can happily say that it's nothing to do with Devil May Cry if Sparda's not in it, so I guess it's a good thing if he stays out.

>>115512975
Letting the troll get the better of you are you?

Or do you really believe that's Antoniades?

>>115513074

But every gothic kid in suburbia will want to identify with him, and will think they can because his dad isn't human, and he's cool and misunderstood and etc etc. I know the only people who ever talked about it in my city were said gothic 14 year olds.

All they have to fucking do is change the name of the game to Limbo City and stop pretending this has ANYTHING to do with Devil May Cry

That's all they would have to do for this to go away
Tameem could actually use his fucking ideas instead of being forced to hold back in sad, DESPERATE attempts to reconnect with the fanbase

>>115512963

Easy, it works the same way with small enemies. You just keep mashing, any attack will keep you in the air. If you're falling, use that 360 scythe move that carries you higher.

>>115513202
>that feel when a lot of my circle of friends (/fit/ types, mostly) played DMC3 because I told them to and talked about it all the time

>>115513127
He's been on my back for a while, but that's fine because the more he posts, the more opportunities I get to backtrace his RAM.

Your ass is mine Tameem.

>>115502829
So it's not a reboot anymore?

Hhaha, Capcom trying to save face.

>>115513074
>>Superman
>>Cheesy, over the top

Don't make me slap you
>>115513216
You people really don't like the idea of a game being different do you?

Should World Of Warcraft drop the name Warcraft as well? Should Starcraft Ghost never been called Starcraft in the first place?

>>115512975
Oh don't worry, I'll keep the SpardaxEva relationship intact.

But she gets raped by Lucifer. And then begins cheating on Sparda with him because she likes the cock.

kids like drama

>>115513313
Dude it's been a reboot sense the start

>>115513261
lifting off huge enemies like styrofoam...
fucking physics, how do they work?

>>115513216
THIS

I like the aesthetic. It could be fun, but it's NOT a fucking Devil May Cry game in the slightest

I wish they would change the name and stop pretending it's Devil May Cry so he can go back to smoking and having a mohawk.
Tameem IS a creative guy. He's probably not even this much of an asshole, I just think he wasn't fucking ready for the amount of backlash he got.

Capcom should fucking let him off their leash and stop trying to reeconnect to ANY of the original fanbase

>>115513313
It's unclear really. It could go two ways:

>"Hey guys, it's an alternative universe. That explains why it's a DMC game without taking any others into consideration".
>"Hey guys, it's an aternative universe. It exists alongside the DMC universe, and they may interact at some point."

I'm guessing it's the former, I don't think Ninja Theory want to include many other elements from previous DMC games - they want to make their own game.

>>115513394
Oh, I meant "super powerful" like them, I worded it wrongly

>You people really don't like the idea of a game being different do you?

The thing is it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT, almost NOTHING is the same as the previous games aside from the name of the main character.

They're even taking steps back with the engine and taking away the styles rather than adding and improving on it.

>>115513465
The big enemies might not be lifted up into the air, so the combat might look like this, but slower and less technical.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ORgSuIIesIE#t=56s

At least they won't try to bring back and fuck up Onimusha, right? ...right?

I'm going to play DMC1 for the first time today. Afterwards, should I even bother with the second or go straight to the third?

>>115513443
See >>115506917 .

>>115513407
Start running skinny, you're getting a three second head start.

>>115513639
Play the second. It's not that long, and it's not super fucking awful, it's just worse than the other ones.

>>115513639
Bro do not even bother with the first game unless you're emulating it so you can fix the shit fucking controls

Play 3 and 4. The first 2 games are awful

But Dante has been reborn.... As an Angel...

>>115513582
>>The thing is it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT, almost NOTHING is the same as the previous games aside from the name of the main character.


Why do you think I mentioned World Of Warcraft?

>>115513714
I'm in England, Irish bitch.

Come at me bro.

>>115513639
If you intend to play DMC3, I'd say play it after 1. DMC2 is the easist DMC game, so it may soften you up before playing what is arguably the hardest DMC game. You can always play 2 after 3 since 4 isn't as hard as 3.

>>115513621

Dawn of dreams fucked up Onimusha for good already.

COOL BLEACHED BLOND PROTAGONIST IN ANCIENT JAPAN CAPCOM DATTE-FUCKING-BAYO!!!

>>115513394
Differences:
WoW takes place in the Warcraft universe and did progress the storyline.

Starcraft Ghost would have taken place in the Starcraft universe and would have progressed the storyline.

DmC has absolutely nothing to do with the Devil May Cry series and all it did is make a good portion of the fanbase angry.
Which wouldn't have happened if it wasn't called Devil May Cry. Which it might as well not be called that since it has nothing to do with it.

>>115513558
Either way, it looks like Capcom decided not to make NT's Dante the canon Dante, arguably to give the old fanbase a glimmer of hope that the old Dante is going to appear in a future DMC release and don't end up ditching the franchise forevermore.

>"We're trying to make a game where you have a ton of freedom, where you can do whatever you want anytime you want."

Why do developers love to spew this PR bullshit catchphrases?

>>115513844
Fuck you, I loved that game and Soki was awesome.
Too bad Roberto was the only gigh tier character.

>>115513493
>Capcom should fucking let him off their leash
no one is holding him. the thing is that NT accepted the job KNOWING what they were messing with and yet they decided to fuck it up even more than what Capcom asked them to do.
To make things worse, Capcom approved it and Kamiya said via Twitter: "It’s sad to see what you started turn this way".

>>115513787

Cambridge, no? That's only 3 hours away. Prepare your anus.

>>115513784
I know nothing about the warcraft series or the mmo.

Did the original warcraft series follow a story? Did they follow a single character? Did they progress the storylines in any way? They had things in common with each other, right?

I don't know.

Even if your argument stands, they're still the point that they're not improving it from a gameplay and technological standpoint. Hell, it's taking steps back.

>>115513787
>Implying I'm not living in England right now for uni.

I'm a bus away from Cambridge. Get running.

>>115501934
You have to be fucking retarded to think Skyrim is going to suck.

Only on /v/ is this level of idiocy possible. Fuck off and die faggot fairy.

>>115513917
Every new trailer some degree of change is added to Donte's appearence to make him closer to the original.

If it wasn't for Capcom DESPERATELY trying to reconnect with the old fanbase he would have a mohawk and still be smoking, so yes, Capcom IS reigning over him to an extent.

It's sad. They thought that the series was good enough to go all the way up to 4 games. The 4th sold more than the any of the others. So why the hell would you reboot? It's sad Capcom has become greedy retards.

I hope they go bankrupt because of this and everything else they are doing. At this point it would be like a mercy killing.

>>115513833
>DMC3
>Harder than DMC1

Nope.

It's still great, but the enemies are a lot less aggressive in DMC3.
DMC1's enemies are the most aggressive enemies in the series.

>>115514133
This

Also, the shitty fucking controls mean you're going to get hit a lot

>>115514177
But they were pretty much the same as the DMC3 controls...

After all these years, I still firmly believe that the original DMC is the best DMC out there, by far.

>>115514133
It's mostly a preference thing, which is why I like to include 'arguably' when talking about it. Most people will agree though that the hardest DMC game is between 1 and 3, I've just seen people complain about DMC3's difficulty a lot more than 1.

>>115514268
>pretty much the same as the DMC3 controls
>jump with triangle, examine with x, attack with circle

No fucking way I'll buy that load of shit.

>>115514133
Now lets see that Trail of the Lion
Seems easy, just break the statue
OH SHIT

>>115513917
And if anything, that news article makes it sound as though Capcom is politely giving NT the rope to hang themselves with, claiming they're not the ones responsible for what it's turning into. Just that they were thinking about this and that, but it's all NT deciding things. Very smooth, Capcom.

This will be exactly as I predicted. Capcom wants DmC to fail so they can release a real DMC 5 that is exactly like 4 in every way outside of a few visual and story changes and will cost them little time and money. But fans will be so happy to have their Dante back, they'll eat it up.

>>115514375
And they'll probably kill/own a western dev when NT makes a loss and Capcom buys them out cheaply.

>>115514341
You do know there are several presets for controls, aye?

If me memory is not failing, there's a preset that's exactly that.

>>115514448
>changing the controls to make them shit

Don't you fucking even tell me you used the awful DMC1 controls in 3.

>>115513881
>>DmC has absolutely nothing to do with the Devil May Cry series

Other the name of the characters


Which is why it's a reboot

>>115514375
You know that DMC3 sold like shit because of 2, right?

>>115513947
>>115514039
Visitors!

>>115514501
It's just changing a few buttons around...

>>115514529
>reboot
>thinking that's the reason to change everything
>you keep using that word.jpg

They changed everything, there are no similarites. None. It's not a reboot. It's an entirely different game with DmC slapped on it.

Like calling that FPS an X-Com game.

>>115514120
Don't you usually hand around /co/?

and has somehow earned their hate?

>>115514529
Word of god says that DmC now takes place in a parallel universe.

>>115514501
I used DMC1 controls for DMC3 and DMC4, see: >>115512631 .

I don't see why you're getting so uptight about controls. If people feel comfortable playing a game with a certain control preset, then let them alone.

>>115514679
/co/ and a few other boards too, yes. Why?

>>115514529
It takes more than using names to be related to a previously established series.

The fact that it is a reboot is a moot point when everyone's main complaint is that it's not Devil May Cry or and doesn't even resemble DMC.

If it wasn't called DmC then it wouldn't be getting any complaints besides how shitty the combat looks.

>>115514670
"The term reboot, in media dealing with serial fiction, means to discard much or even all previous continuity in the series and start anew with fresh ideas. Effectively, all established fictive history is declared by the writer(s) to be null and void, or at least irrelevant to the new storyline, and the series starts over as if brand-new.

Through reboots, film franchises are revamped and reinvigorated to attract new fans and stimulate economic revenue. Therefore, reboots can be seen as attempts to rescue franchises which have grown "stale". They can also be a "safe" project for a studio, as a reboot with an established fan base is less risky (in terms of expected profit) than an original work."

>>Like calling that FPS an X-Com game.

Naaa you live in denial

How nice

>>115514746
It's just that X has been the fucking jump button since the fucking PS1
I could never play the first game with that bullshit. It's like the devs never played any game on the Sony Playstation or the PS2

>>115514573

Tameem my cool Overlord! Is my spiderman design cool now?!

>>115514858
I'm still positive that you can change presets on the original DMC, so I don't know what's your beef.

>>115514893
Brown shoes.

Lose the brown.

>>115514723
Like Ultimate Marvel

Which in itself can be seen as a reboot

>>115514791
Wanted to see if it was the same guy

>>115514983

And make them black?

>>115514959
You actually can't and it was the biggest complaint about the original game when it came out

>>115514959
I actually don't think you can change DMC1 controls. I don't have my disc right now otherwise I would check for you, but it is the subject of some complaint in threads.

>>115514893
That is actually not bad

>>115514853
A reboot typically throws out all of the previous story while maintaining the characters and core ideas. DmC is just a cheap attempt to cash in on the DMC name.

>>115514853
But they're not starting over a series. They're creating a brand new game with no similarities (at all) at all to the previous series.

To give an example of a proper reboot:
Batman Begins

>>115515002
>Which in itself can be seen as a reboot

Claiming that DmC takes place in a parallel universe is implying that they are not ditching old universe continuity, so no, not a reboot.

>>115515118
>>115515116

I believe you.

>>115515053
Also make his hair longer.

Like this

>>115515158
>>Batman Begins

No

That film was crap

A proper reboot is Rise of the Planet of the Apes or Battlestar Galactica
>>115515153
>>characters and core ideas
The sands of time series did not do then when rebooting the Prince of Persia series


You know I get the felling that I'm talking to brick walls here

>>115515514
>Rise of the Planet of the Apes
That was a prequel, though...

I have the feeling you really don't know what you are talking about.

>>115515514
>That film was crap
>opinions

But it was a proper reboot.

>>115515514
>You know I get the felling that I'm talking to brick walls here

I'm pretty sure you said something similar to that last time I saw you in a thread.

Why do it to yourself again?

>>115515603
No it's seen as a reboot

But it's a prequal to it's own series (if they make more sequels)

>>115515626
To some degree yes

>>115515442

How about now?

Question: Why don't they just make a proper DMC 5 and continue the story instead of making a cheap reboot game? Is it really that hard to think of something to go on with? Hell, I'd even go back in time to play as Sparda or something.

I get the felling you people are pretty douchy against Tameem

>>115515807
Not "to some degree", it's a proper reboot. It kept the core ideas and characters and built up a newer story around it.

DmC is not taking anything from the previous series aside from the names. It's an entirely different thing. Entirely.

It's like calling Dante's Inferno Devil May Cry because the character has the same name, but entirely different backstory/story.

But apparently DmC isn't a reboot anymore since it's taking place in a 'parallel universe'. Jesus, make up your minds already.

>>115516210
It's cheaper for Capcom to oursource games rather than to make them via in-house studios. That means they're outsourcing more of their IPs, an example of which being DMC.

They're also wishing to target a more Western demographic than previous DMC games, hence DmC was born.

>I'd even go back in time to play as Sparda or something.

It's all I and several other DMC regulars want. ;_;

>>115516210
The cocaine bucket ran out and they are to poor to refill it

>>115516354
>>But apparently DmC isn't a reboot anymore since it's taking place in a 'parallel universe'. Jesus, make up your minds already.

I suddenly got the bizarre vision of the DMC series will start having inter dimension travel .....awesome?

>>DmC is not taking anything from the previous series aside from the names. It's an entirely different thing. Entirely.

Yeah and Reboots can do that

See Prince of Persia

>>115516481
They are just greedy. They are jealous of the CoD sales numbers.

>>115516481
Devil May Cry Zero
fuck yea

>>115516676
I would do anything for it. ;_;

>>115515514
>felling
>>115516243
>felling

>>115516589
Prince of Persia: Sands of time took:
Names
Location
Game design.

Names is self-explanitory.
The location is self-explanitory.
The game's design is exactly what it was before.
The difference is that the obstacles got a lot more complex, but it's still entirely possible to make the connection between the old Prince of Persia games and what we have in Sands of Time.

But if we took Devil May Cry 1 and DmC, all we would have are the names.
As a reboot under your standards, it should not be considered a good one.

>>115516589
so there was classic PoP
then came Sands of Time
then the cel-shading one,
then Forgotten Sands
DUDE thats a load of reboots

The old Dante looked like a fucking cheap tranny; the new Dante actually looks like a human being. If you're not willing to give this game a chance, just because you're bitter they changed your desu kawaiiii white locks Dante, you're a fucking faggot and should be shot.

Sincerely, a casual who gets more pussy than you.

>>115516852
Then try to connect Sands of Time to the Prince Of Persia in 2008
>>but it's still entirely possible to make the connection between the old Prince of Persia games and what we have in Sands of Time.


Gameplay wise? Sure

Story? Hell no

>>115516152
Excellent.

An ancient spider demon has sex with a man and bears him a child. The child grows up in the modern age, and has trouble adapting to his life while developing his powers. As such, he is misunderstood and angry. He lives with his milf aunt who is abusive, smokes, drinks and brings home men every night.

>>115517078
>>but it's still entirely possible to make the connection between the old Prince of Persia games and what we have in Sands of Time.
>Gameplay wise? Sure
Any connection is much more than what DmC offers as a reboot.
>Story? Hell no
A reboot can do something different with the story while having the core characters, but without anything connecting it to what was already established, it might as well be it's own thing entirely.

Sands of Time did have the core characters and was able to show that it's a Prince of Persia game.

DmC has Dante so far, but has not shown anything to prove that it's a Devil May Cry game. So why bother calling it DmC at all?

Also I didn't play the newest Prince of Persia so I can't comment on it, sorry.

>>115517078
>gameplay wise: sure

And there's your core element the POP series is known for, the gameplay.

>connection that DmC has with other DMCs
uh... well fuck. The names?

>mfw Dante's Inferno could be a DMC if I follow your logic.

>>115517271

And his spider powers only awaken when hits puberty as a metaphor for how hard it is growing up! Your a genius Tameem!

>>115510887
are you this retard?
go another thread kid, dont try to show us how to sage ok?
go away you fucking useless piece of shit.
god, i hate the arrogant kids around here.

>>115517078
Hah, the only connection that DmC has with the others are

HIS NAME IS DANTE AND HE FIGHTS DEMANS.

>>115517475
Exactly!

Imagine how it'll appeal to the kids of today. I'll make Spiderman cool again.

>>115517377
>>Also I didn't play the newest Prince of Persia so I can't comment on it, sorry.

The newest would be Forgotten Sands

>>without anything connecting it to what was already established, it might as well be it's own thing entirely.

But that goes against the definition of reboot . Know what here is an example of a character reboot

Jason Todd pre Crisis on Infinity Earths: Dick Grayson 2,0 (more or less)


Jason Todd after Crisis on Infinity Earths : Street punk who had a life which has been anything but nice

>>Sands of Time did have the core characters and was able to show that it's a Prince of Persia game.

yeah a guy with no name

>>115517660
Well Marvel did kill off Ultimate Spiderman and replace him with a random black kid so...

HIS NAME IS DONTE. HE IS HALF DEMON HALF ANGEL AND TEAMS UP WITH HIS FRIEND SHADOW TO FIGHT THE DEMONS AND THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE EVIL.

HAS A LOVE FOR HEATHER.

>>115517475
So Spiderman is a mutant now?

Great thats just what he needs. Now he shall join the X-men as well

>>115517544
Which is enough to me
>>115517822
Something you want to say?

So, basically, they never researched the old one, thought they created something new, realized to late "Oh, goddamnit, the last two games already did this shit with way more variables", and now they're pretending they still don't know.

>>115517787
>yeah a guy with no name
and he doesn't even have a turban like the classics. MAJOR visual overhaul, I'd say

>>115518009
HIS NAME IS DANTE AND HE FIGHTS DEMANS LOLOLLOLOLOLOL

>>115517787
For games, a reboot needs to also have game mechanics that are identical to what is established, or at least show that it's connected to what was made beforehand in some way.

Without any connection whatsoever, it will end up getting judged as such.

I know you are talking comics, but I'm pretty sure reboots there can't be judged exactly the same as a video game series.

>>115518009
That something that stupid happening is more likely than we would like to think.

>>115518191
Hey it might be a stupid idea but so far it's been executed well

Like FrankenFrank (Punisher as Frankenstein Monster)

>>115518129
Now that is not a part of DMC series

>>115518151
A reboot in games can mean two things

1. Reboot in story

2. Gameplay is very different compared to the other series

>>115518585
>Now that is not a part of DMC series

But it very well could be if I follow your logic. Do you understand? No, because you're an ignorant dumbshit.

Like DmC, it has nothing in common the Devil May Cry games aside from "Dante fighting demons"
