DmC (Devil May Cry Reboot)

Post by Runa »

Okay, maybe many of you will hate me for this, lol XD but I'd like to talk about this new DmC created by Ninja Theory and CAPCOM, available in 2013.

I read many bad comments on the official CAPCOM community. People are complaining because of Dante's new look and attitude, insulting CAPCOM team in every new topic they create to advirtise a new trailer/picture/interview/whatnot about this game in development.

I know the DMC series pretty well, even though I played the DMC4 only. I like the original, well known Dante, with white hair and red coat... BUT if I have to be honest, I ALSO like this new reboot they are working on!

I don't dislike this new Dante, on the contrary! I LOL everytime I watch a new trailer about him, he looks pretty cool to me. Yeah, he could be a bad guy, a brat, whatever you like, but still I like him.
And they put Vergil too. I thought it wasn't sure but the latest trailer was a great confirmation.

Speaking about graphics, I think this game will be well done. I think the surreal enviroments in this so called "Limbo" are awesome, the female character, Kat, is pretty interesting and I'm so damn curious to see the new story they have created.

And the fact that this game will be rated M (as far as I can read) makes it even more interesting XD

So, guys. What do YOU think about this future game? Impressions? Opinions?

I'm a huge fan of this franchise since the first one, and I might say I really love this game even if I hated it on the first trailer which was really shitty.

It's an alternative universe, so it's really ok with me. I love this Dante, and the story seems really interesting. The fact that the city is ruled by demons and that the city is trying to kill you is a really good idea. The only thing I don't appreciate is the gameplay which seems a little bit strange in comparison of the other games.

But I hope this game will be good... And I also hope we will have other games in the original series.

Me too. I hope they will make a DMC5 :) maybe a sequel of the 4, with the same characters.
Still, I also think they will make a sequel of this reboot too... although I'm afraid many people won't play it :\
What actually makes me mad is the fact that we can't judge a game by a simple trailer. I mean, okay... the gameplay may seem weird or even bad compared to the previous ones, but I think that people could at least say "okay, I don't like it that much... but I will try it before saying I hate it". But now, they write "this is a s**t" or "still hate it" or "you won't have my money for this s**t". I mean, seriously? I think they are acting for bias... and maybe they will have to fight the urge to try it in the end XD

A sequel can be interesting but I think they should do something more original. Maybe doing the story of Sparda and see the twins when they were young, and for the first time, see Eva in person instead of a Picture...

Well, DMC is known for it's awesome gameplay, so having a DMC that look like that is a little bit awkward for the fans. xD

What I don't like is the people hating this game for the only reason that Dante doesn't have white hair, etc.
But I think it's a good idea to have him different, I mean, when you discover that you have devilish power and you have white hair and blue eyes because you have surnatural powers, I don't think you would be happy and fine with it. So it's kinda logic to see him with black hair, it's logic to assume he dyes his hair, and for his eyes, he uses lens to change the color... And it's an alternative universe, so I really don't mind. xD

And... We're talking about the Capcom Fandom. Never happy. x)

This. I think they are putting all their efforts to create this game. It could also be bad and disappointing in the end, but still I think they should respect their work. If they don't like the new Dante and because of this won't even try the game... well, I think it's a bit stupid :\

Also, in this game Dante will have a 'Devil Trigger' power too, where he will actually have white hair and red coat. Okay, it's that he always has them, but still XD

Honestly I'm one of the many people that don't like the new Dante. I'm interested in the new game sure, just to see how it goes, (30fps, OH MA GAWD!!) but the character himself is something else to be desired.

Ninja Theory's version just screams a typical Twlight-like teen movie type character in it's design and personality. He just looks so angsty and then there's the "Hey let's go against everything that the original Japanese version wasn't, and deliberately make this one smoke and drink, just so it seems like we want to say F-you to the original creator's invisioning of the character!"

And when I saw their new version of Nero too, I just kind of died laughing. Did I step into some wierd dimension, who on earth is this goodie two shoes like character? :lol:

Any way I could rant on more, but eh...whatever. Hopefully the combat transitions well in Ninja Theory's hands, what with the lower framerate compared to the older games.

Yesh it's a good thing that they decided this to be an alternate universe version, but like Konami's Castlevania: Lord's of Shadow being in a similar situation, it just splits some of the fanbase up and really makes it hard to see how future games can go.

This guy never fails to impress me.

Even in the new DmC he's found ways to break the combat system. That's some old school DMC in the DmC here.

I belong to the "not liking Dante's new look" group, but as DerekStrife pointed out, that's a parallel universe, as a comic fan I'm USED to deal with parallel universe so it's totally fine with me! I went from "Blah, this is not Dante, I don't like this style!" to "I don't like this style!" which is totally personal taste! Of course I got some hardcore fans friends who are still rejecting it cause "It's not Dante, mi mimi"...yeah, true, it's not Dante WE KNOW, it's just another Dante...one of my friend had actually that only and lame argument in reserve..."It's not Dante, Dante haz white hair, blah blah" and that was enough of a reason for him to boycott the game...oh weeeeeell

I haven't seen any gameplay vids before playing the Demo I must admit, and pretty much wasn't following the game closely, simply didn't care (I never was THAT much of a DMC fan anyway, just liked the 3rd very much and that's it) but then I played the demo and that was a SLAP in my head...of course nothing revolutionary, but HELL, it was damn fun! People were complaining bout the new gameplay, that it was ├╝ber hard to go from angel to demon weapon, but frankly it's THAT simple that it took me 1 minute and 37 second to control it completely and to be able to reach S ranks...add those grabbing actions depending on the weapon you use and you have dozens of possibilities! Animations are smooth, the scenery mutation is simply breath taking and I love this idea of demons REALLY wanting to kill Dante, even using walls and ground and the whole city to achieve their goal...Apparently there won't be overuse of QTE, which is nice, and every level seems fuuuuuull of secrets.

As for Dante, now that I know him a bit more...I still don't like him :pi: even his way of acting are a no-no for me and if he didn't possess devil power I would love to slap his face and call him a d**che, but well, DmC is certainly not about stody and I can just skip the movies if I can't bear him that much...speaking of story, the few I saw in the intro seemed a nice re-use of the original DMC games one, almost every character being used slightly differently and yet staying interesting. I wasn't shocked by smocking Dante, I just thought it was a bit lame if it was the only way they found to make him rebel -_-Smocking isn't rebel since the 80's so I'm glad they gave it up.

As for the framerate, true, in cinematics particularly, it drops crazily down, which was also the case in Enslaved btw, instead that it was also happening ingame, and that in DmC I haven't encountered any ingame, so that's fine with me!

Sooo well, I definitely WON'T buy it day one, but it's on my list at least!

And well, forget the CAPCOM fans, that's the only thing they can do, complain, and that leads to never aging characters, pornish outfits and senseless ass-zoom in RE6. Do we want that in every CAPCOM franchise? I don't.
Bye y'all, was fun while it lasted

Yeah whilst the combat in this new game has captured some of the old DMC feel, it is still a little bit off in a sense.

I still don't like new Dante's personality. The whole rebel attitude I feel is a bit too pretentious. Who knows, give this one a few more years and then we can see the bigger picture, but for now, it will require alot of work to match the original who has over a decade's history.

And of course I want to see new Vergil with how they are going to handle this one.

Hell, no.

DmC would be bad if they didn't do that. Especially since it's Capcom choice to do something DIFFERENT.
And when I saw their new version of Nero too, I just kind of died laughing. Did I step into some wierd dimension, who on earth is this goodie two shoes like character? :lol:
You mean Vergil ?

Not really. I really like alternative universe because you can do something different within a similar universe without screwing things up.
.:Someone Else:. wrote: Of course I got some hardcore fans friends who are still rejecting it cause "It's not Dante, mi mimi"...yeah, true, it's not Dante WE KNOW, it's just another Dante...
Exactly. But I don't see what's bad about his look, though.
one of my friend had actually that only and lame argument in reserve..."It's not Dante, Dante haz white hair, blah blah" and that was enough of a reason for him to boycott the game...oh weeeeeell
Except he is actually wrong. He HAS white hair... He just dries them. You just have to see Vergil.

Well, I appreciate this Dante, even though he is too young so he actually do things like a young idiot, but that's why it's funny. Funnily enough, we only saw him smoke since the first trailer.
And well, forget the CAPCOM fans, that's the only thing they can do, complain, and that leads to never aging characters, pornish outfits and senseless ass-zoom in RE6. Do we want that in every CAPCOM franchise? I don't.
+infinity.

That's actually the problem. You are doing a comparison between the two. Don't do that. As an hardcore DMC fan, the only comparison I do is in the gameplay.
