DmC's new Dante is blatantly better than old Dante

I'm looking forward to playing it to see this for myself!

:-) Opinions of anyone aside.

[Godmars290]

Though after having done so, you still wont know where this article is going.

[NewMonday]

the problem now is actually the gameplay, from what we have seen it is not very smooth

[N4GDgAPc]

@newmonday
We? You ment I. You must of been watching the first gameplay footage ever revealed because it looks smooth to me.

[Sevir]

The game because NT is doing it! Ive seen itand it looks smooth, perhaps its not 60pfs like we've all come to expect from DMC games, but its a locked in 30fps there have been no dips in frame rate, even with all the rearrangement of platforms and real time environment changes happening along with all the physics there is no real way to discern that without playing it yourself. which i intend to do upon release!

[ThanatosDMC]

The gameplay video has the guy just mashing X and fake Dante was going full easy automatic on the enemies. Check out the control layout and it's screaming casual gameplay. By the way this is on hard mode and you can see how little damage an enemies attack does to the player.

They turned DmC fast challenging gameplay to GOW's tanky mash buttons gameplay. Also, it auto switches the weapons for you. Also, check out how easy it is to get S rank WHILE getting hit.

Youtube frame-rate is capped at 30 frames and not to mention the heavy compression even on 1080p. -_-

If the game dips below 20 frames you will not be able to notice it because youtube will make it look like 30.

You need to download direct-feed videos and not many sites provide that kind of service. From the ones I know: Digital Foundry and gamersyde.com but DMC reboot gameplay does seem laggy. The game will be just another button masher with a bunch of canned combos. =/

[Redrum059]

Was a big fan of the franchise, but looks like MGRaising will be more of a DMC then the dmc reboot. Goin else where for my hack-n-slash crave

*Starts to walk away from article*

"....by Jim Sterling"

*turns around*

This should be good :)

[Abriael]

it's usual Jim Sterling trolling and trying to be funny. Of course he's funny pretty much only for those that don't have a working brain, pretty much like him.

[Bigpappy]

I am always with the developer. It is their baby. If I don't like their end product, I will just skip it. But they should make changes when every they think they need to. It has to come from inside or they should leave it and move on to something else.

[GraveLord]

"If I don't like their end products, I'll just skip it"

How can you know of you like it if you don't play it?

[Whitefox789]

However the developer is Ninja Theory; not Capcom.

I'm just saying...

[Neko_Mega]

Its not their baby, thats what you fail to get.

[N4GDgAPc]

@ThanatosDMC
Because everyone can tell how hard a game is just by watching videos and never playing it!!

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

I didn't realize that somehow gameplay suddenly magically changes from the videos you were watching to the game you're playing.

Amazing how that must work.

[N4GDgAPc]

@ZombieNinjaPanda
And you can magically tell that there playing Dante must Die mode by watching a video.

[Enigma_2099]

So that means we can disregard yours, right? And as for the article...

"Lengthy arguments have been made, explicitly detailing why the new Dante is such a bad character, and yet others vehemently claim Capcom will never get their money again. Opinions are heated."

... and you're not helping.

[mttrackmaster38]

This was hilarious. I hope no one just sees the title and posts a stupid comment. Oh yeah......this is N4g.

[wishingW3L]

thanks for the heads up, I was about to post a rant. XD

[timeon11111111111]

Article written by Jim Sterling...

A fat ass who´s likes DmC, and who compares DMC fans with nazis.

He says that not a single good videogame was made by a game studio from Japan, and complains that anime artstyle of Japan is ugly.

Then tell me MR fat ass - who created DMC gameplay (concepts and ideas)? What studio created DMC 1, DMC 2, 3 and 4 - that DmC is based off (ROUGHLY 80% of gameplay in DmC is from the DMC serie).

This is an article from a fat ass similar to Bob Bargas character in DmC (the propaganda guy - "just doing god´s work").
This fat ass likes BRITISH Ninja theory´s DmC reboot, and it´s version of Dante. This fat ass...is british.

He also says that you shouldn´t trust DMC in Capcom´s hands because they will ruin the serie like they did with Resident Evil 6. But Mr Fat ass - check your facts: DmC gameplay has been invented by Hideki Kamiya+ Capcom, and that same gameplay has been PRODUCED in Unreal Enginge by Ninja theory with LOADS of help from Capcom developers.

And how LEGIT it is to bring up a cutscene from a game FOCUSED on gameplay made in 2001 (DMC 1) to compare to a game made in 2013 (who is recycling 80% of gameplay ideas from DMC serie = 10 years of gameplay experience).

Enuff said.

P.S If he doesn´t like anime artstyle then he can go suck on a horse´s dick like the way he´s sucking on Ninja theory´s dick.

[HarryMasonHerpderp]

Funny article ^_^

[Whitefox789]

I think this article was just sarcasm written all over it. Don't take it too seriously...

I found one misconception in the article for his supposed persona where he said not a single good video game was made in Japan; he stated this, "This is why I can barely get five minutes into Ico, but have spent a cumulative thirteen years playing Ridge Racer."

I wonder why that persona can play Ridge Racer for thirteen years if it was made by, Namco which is *dun dun dun!* a Japanese game company.

[jrbeerman11]

Doesn't get it....

[hkgamer]

article was just a joke, full of sarcastic comments. You could tell he was being sarcastic all the way from some comments he makes throughout the article, for example about silent hill being anime like.

I don't understand why you have so many agrees, did anyone actually read this article or are they basing it off the title and little summary?

I thought this article was pretty decent, kinda shows how some internet people come up with weird ways to justify their point. I have read some people on the internet saying that if you ignore the negative reviews of RE6 then it will have a pretty good score.

[SilentNegotiator]

I certainly hope you're simply returning the sarcasm favor. Because if you read this article literally....oh my...

[Kurt Russell]

@TheHunter

It was a blatantly sarcastic article... Nice dipshit rant though.

[DragonKnight]

You actually thought this article was funny? It was a terrible article. Dude tries to troll way too hard. He also sounds like he doesn't know jack about gaming at all when trolls that hard. It's pretty pathetic.

Anyway, New Dante sucks, DmC is trash, and I hope some Capcom execs get fired.

[Bimkoblerutso]

It's fairly clear that he's parodying the arguments of the game's proponents.

Though as far as the article goes, I have to agree with you. Sterling routinely writes some of the most unfunny, ham-fisted satire this side of Michael Moore's Canadian Bacon.

[jrbeerman11]

@mttrackmaster38

I love how someone posts a stupid comment in reply to yours. priceless. Even worse he read article and didn't pick up on the sarcasm...

[crazysammy]

Haha you really need to read the article.

[Emilio_Estevez]

agreed. Sometimes Sterling is a bit crazy, but other times it's pure gold. So funny, especially the end.

[ziggurcat]

that article gave me scabies.

people need to quit acting like a bunch of whiny crybabies over a stupid character model.

[Eamon]

This was quite funny.

[Captain Qwark 9]

agreed, i was cracking up lol. it was so well written too that at times i couldnt tell if he was serious or joking lol.

either way, im indifferent. im still going to buy and play this game, what ive seen looks great and new dantes looks arent great but arent terrible either. i could prob get used to them.

[Clogmaster]

This is friggin hilarious.

Everyone must read this.

If you are against the new DmC, then you will find this write up quite funny.

[drizzom]

Yeah I really wanted to avoid it from the Article Title alone but after reading it I was really glad that I didn't miss it.

[JetsFool3500]

Smh All Opinions No Facts

[Asuka]

It's science

[yewles1]

Sterling satire... not so sterling.

[GSpartan777]

This is going to reach front page without anyone actually having read the article except for the title.

[TemplarDante]

New Dante sucks. Im not buying this half demon half angel garbage.
How dare they change the canon.

[ritsuka666]

^

Hahahah....Love the sarcasm of Jim. xD

[amaguli]

Wonder how many comments will be from people that haven't read the article.

[timeon11111111111]

I read the article. But whether this guy is sarcastic or not, it´s clear to me that he is biased, and supports DmC.

Take it or sarcasm or whatever, but clearly this guy has an agenda.

What really is pathetic is how people worship this fat ass.
But i guess if he says "DmC Dante IS GOOD", all the DmC supporters go "Well done Jim".

It´s all about taking sides.
I am intelligent and honest enough to realize and admit that i am on the hating side (with good reasons).
People like fat ass Sterling will however say he´s a good guy, but take a side and talk trash to those who oppose his opinion.

Then again majority of sites are using this whole controversy to become known (attention whores much?), and even Capcom have have consciously created this controversy to let the hatred market the game for them.

[amaguli]

Jim is know for trolling hard and being very sarcastic. Honestly though he does comes off as very unprofessional, and because of this I never trust his reviews.

[timeon11111111111]

Define a troller:
- Someone who´s an arsehole to person A, but not to person B?

or someone:
- who trolls EVERYONE.

This guy isn´t trolling. He´s just a fat ass who has a ego (created by DmC supporters/people who agree with his opinion(s)).

And he thinks that his opinion is right. You know the scene with "fill your dark soul with light" that he has mentioned in the article? He used that same scene when he trash talked DMC serie in his crap show.
He picks a bad area of DMC serie and exposes it to the DmC supporters or haters to say "My opinion is right".

http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Here is a epic scene from DMC 1. Before watching it remember this was DMC 1. The gameplay standard had not been established (this was established with DMC 3). So developers could not focus on story like Ninja theory is doing with DmC reboot because they already have the gameplay formula layed out for them with 10 years of gameplay.

I am sure this fat ass has good sides of him. And if he wasn´t such a disgustable asshole who breeds hate with his ugly face and agenda - i think he could have been a nice person in Gaming industry to watch.

But clearly he is a biased fat ass who thinks he´s cool...

[amaguli]

I think he is trolling. He wrote this piece with the intent of pissing people off. Now if he were to back his opinions up with clear examples, then that is a different story.

This is a troll article plain and simple. But I do agree that his very egotistical.

[VileAndVicious]

"The gameplay standard had not been established (this was established with DMC3"

100 percent disagree with this. But agree with most of the other things you wrote.

Why choose DMC3 as the gameplay standard? Because its your favorite?

[Robochobo]

Not sure if trolling in article or...

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

He was trolling. VERY HARD.

[vortis]

I feel bad for the people who disagree that he was trolling.

This line alone is completely and utterly ridiculous..." Videogames have taught me that if I don't want to stick my penis and/or vagina in something (or have something stick its penis and/or vagina into me) then I can't connect with it on an emotional level, and therefore cannot play the game. This is why I can barely get five minutes into Ico, but have spent a cumulative thirteen years playing Ridge Racer."

[Frankfurt]

May he is.

But this is still a 30fps action game, something even worse than a 30fps racing game.

[TemplarDante]

The new DmC game is geared towards a degenerate COD fanboy generation.
Thats how its built from the ground up.
Oh.. so sad.
Megaman. RIP.
Resident Evil. RIP.
Real Dante, RIP.

[pompombrum]

And this article is a blatant attempt at free hits.

[pbasson]

This article is extremely bias, and hence its as sh*ter than you think its going to be.

[Sketchy_Galore]

This would probably have been funny if it was edited down to a single paragraph and posted as a comment here but Jesus, it just kept going.

[prototypeknuckles]

calm down people its a troll article, he doesnt actually mean any of it, its probably a slow news day

[Kratoscar2008]

I dont like both Dantes old and new so i hope this one is less annoying than the old Dante.

[JetsFool3500]

So Im Guessin You Like Nero

[Kratoscar2008]

Nah he is as annoying or even more than Dante.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

"Up to the shoulder son" ROFLMFAOO!!! AHHHH!! My sides!!

[youndamie]

GTFOH!

[JohnApocalypse]

I wonder if he actually thinks the new Dante is better then the original Dante?

[-Gespenst-]

If you actually read the article you'll see it's a massive troll.

In fact, it seems to be saying both eff Ninja Theory and eff Capcom.

[YoungKingDoran]

See, it's words like "Blatantly" that makes a dick article from the get-go and get's us all riled up.
There are ways can give your point of view without being a douche.

[Emilio_Estevez]

You do realize it's supposed to be (and is) funny right? Just read the last sentence at least.

[YoungKingDoran]

the last sentence? that means i have to read the whole thing. come on man, im on n4g!!

but yes, it is humourous. i apologise for my dismay getting the better of me and my rational thinking.

[drizzom]

BWA HA HA HA HA HA! XD

Great Article. Would read again 10/10.

[Der_Kommandant]

I loled

[Plagasx]

Leave it up to Capcom to ruin yet another Franchise.

[Relientk77]

Haha, that piece was great, funny stuff

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

New Dante is the best says the RE6 fans...

[badvlad]

I hope thats weed hes smoking ciggarrets will kill ya

[PurpHerbison]

I really hope they don't plan to continue milking old franchises when next gen drops. That might finally sever my ties to gaming.

[HiddenMission]

How are you guys continuing to feed this GD troll that is Jim F***ing Sterling.

The guy only wants hits...he has ZERO journalistic integrity!
