IGN-DmC Has Nothing Left to Prove

IGN:It’s fair to say the DmC has looked better every time we’ve seen it. Ninja Theory was reticent about putting it into players’ hands until the combat was absolutely in place – a process that took years of careful work in collaboration with Capcom Japan – but now that the game is pretty much ready for release, the studio has nothing to hide. Armed with a near-complete version of the game, I put young Dante through his paces over a good ten missions, and found nothing at all to be worried about. On this evidence, this new DmC might actually be better than the Devil you know – the best game in the series since 2008’s Devil May Cry 3.

Hanso4173d ago

It will be very funny if capcom decides that Bloody Palace will be paid dlc.

LightofDarkness4173d ago

"2008’s Devil May Cry 3"

So well researched. Clearly this guy knows what DMC is all about....

iNMyFiN4LH0uR4173d ago

Don't understand what you are implying, the author is simply saying New DmC > DMC4 or New DMC maybe DMC3 caliber, which by the looks of things and considering the author has actually played some parts of the game, it maybe a fair assessment.

Blacktric4173d ago (Edited 4173d ago )

"it maybe a fair assessment."

They released more than enough media to give us enough reason to hate the game. It's not better than 4 and certainly not better than 1-3. Hell, it looks like it's going to be worse than the demonspawn that was DMC 2. Oh and, Keza McDonald is a clown, parading as an intelligent "gaming journalist" as she demonstrated it more than enough times with her reviews.

"It’s a pleasure to see DmC’s now fully-fledged combat system in action. It is balletic, rhythmic, subtle and satisfying, and as you play through and unlock more moves for sword, guns, axe and scythe your combos naturally become more varied and elegant."

So, a DMC game that's running at 30FPS and has slowed down combat concealed with BS "cool" looking finisher moves and other crap happening in slow mo (devil trigger is now bullet time) with no lock on and no jump cancelling has a "fully-fledged" combat system.

Keza Mcdonald everybody! Who is certainly not a paid "journalist".

vallencer4173d ago

So blacktric

Based on gameplay videos you hate it?? That makes sense I suppose. But it really doesn't. If you don't like the look fine but every single person that has played it has praised it. Saying that the combat is solid if not better than the previous. It looks leaps and bounds better than four. Four was a joke after you started playing as Dante. It's like they got lazy. All they did was make you backtrack with a character who wasn't as good as Nero. It was boring.

I really don't know why everyone has there mind set in hating this game. It looks great and seems to play even better, why not wait until it comes out to form your hate?

Tdmd4173d ago

@blacktric
No lock on? Wth, seriously?!

Whitefox7894172d ago

@vallencer Are you kidding me? Nero was a cheap character to play as, the Devil Bringer was way overpowered. With Dante having the ability to switch against styles on the fly was an awesome step in the right direction for evolving the combat.

Blacktric4172d ago

"but every single person that has played it has praised it"

Not true. Some people on NeoGaf who actually tried the game in various conventions says quite the opposite. And like I said, they released more than enough video material to give fans an actual idea about what the game is like. You don't necessarily have to play it to have an opinion about it at this point. Also the demo is coming out today if I'm not mistaken, which should give everyone (including myself) a chance to play the game and see if we were right or wrong about it.

LightofDarkness4173d ago

Consider this: DMC3 was released in 2005.

So maybe he meant to say DMC4, but then he's basically saying it's the best one since the last one (AKA the not that great one).

Or maybe he thought DMC3 was released in 08, but then that just proves myPpoint. Either way, this is a fail.

Sevir4173d ago

Just that the last DMC game release which was dmc4 was released in 2008, she did however reference dmc3 as the best in the series and that is true. And I'm pretty sure that those who do play the demo tomorrow will walk away with a different opinion. The ones who bash it and will hate it regardless of what they play will come here and troll it after everyone else likes it.

Tdmd4173d ago

@Sevir
"– the best game in the series since 2008’s Devil May Cry 3."
Yes, she did.

Jinkies4173d ago (Edited 4173d ago )

Of course not...the guy is being payed to say good things about dmc. These types of articles are just too perfect.

Capcom need good reviews because they need good sales. It's vital to them with how much money has been wasted on this "reboot". They are so desperate to make it look like they've proved fans wrong.

I find it funny how all of a sudden we've been getting so many Lovey Dovey dmc articles from big sites over the past few weeks. It seems scripted most of the time since most sites say roughly the same thing. I mean for starters the headline always boldy states in their own way that the "haters" have been silenced and Capcom/NT theory have proved themselfs.

Good review from IGN confirmed

Summons754173d ago

your right because it's a terrible game that only wishes it could live up to the originals. They only thing it had to prove was how egotistical and just horrible Ninja Theory is as a developer....which was apparent to begin with.

Double_Oh_Snap4173d ago

Because you played it? I mean you may very well be right, but you wont know for sure until you have played it. You are doing what people call unknowingly bashing a game based on nothing but guesses an videos.

Summons754173d ago

*sigh* there have been very numerous demos, interviews, and other such things. People with no experience in Devil May Cry in the demos were getting S ranks by mashing 1 button which is not even close to the other games. ALL the character designs and "new" personalities are terrible and NT isn't really reliable in making good functioning games. All the argument made by actual DMC fans are very valid, not just "the haiiiir". If you have a hard time observing demos, and interviews and looking at history that isn't a problem but don't say people who can do these things to make very educated observations are unknowingly bashing.

xursz4173d ago

Now that's not fair, the game hasn't even been released and what's been shown hasn't looked half bad. Personally i respect a developer confident enough to stick to their guns and let the quallity of their game speak for itself.

Now that being said i love the series and the ONLY thing that will keep me from buying this entry is it being a bad game. Not the look of the main character or anything else because if this is how they portray 'young dante' then so be it, it's their vision.

rezzah4173d ago

I personally hope this vision doesn't become DMC's future.

Double_Oh_Snap4173d ago (Edited 4173d ago )

@Summons75 Fair enough I have seen this as well, but do you not think difficulty plays into this. I mean you seem smart, you think there going to be playing on son of sparda ect at a game convention or on a trailer really? Besides demos out tomorrow all will be revealed then.

Baka-akaB4173d ago

That's a bad excuse and not a surprising one . Mechanics wont change with an increase of the difficulty .

It's to easy for people to claim that noticeable stuff arent , till you play on hard or whatever .

Besides by now , why are people assuming only the positive folks are the one that tried the game ? By now a few had the chance to try it and give their feedback

Sevir4173d ago

And aren't shy about admitting it. There are plenty plenty videos to show off the combat system and they can formulate an opinion on looks but looks only go so damn far. After playing the game at comic con in NYC last month, opinions of this game lie squarley in line with the editors who have played this game. DmC at this point has nothing to prove and those who haven't played it but hate the game vehemently, hate it off looks and cosmetic changes to a franchise that has not aged gracefully, which is why people bitched about DMC4 even though that was a pretty good game in itself.

Baka-akaB4172d ago (Edited 4172d ago )

There is no point with me arguging with you here and vice versa . Some of us tried the game and werent convinced , while the press was sold on the game before they even saw the gameplay .

I wont care for their opinion . I've seen what they know and think about most games and devil may cry titles , i've seen their numerous crap and errors in reviews , and i've seen them constantly hype NT games with them still crashing burning and failing . They are irrelevant .

"a franchise that has not aged gracefully, which is why people bitched about DMC4 even though that was a pretty good game in itself. "

Pure B.S . People complained already about a new unfitting hero , and a game that was already more of the same only worse that's all .

"DmC 2013" is doing the same only further in the alienating process , with the dumbification of the gameplay as a bonus .

Besides like said multiple times , it was a case of either keeping the dmc4 formula or going toward DmC . There were plenty valid roads and option n between that would keep the core intact . They didnt , and opened the can of worms they deserve .

I'm pretty much done here in this thread , it will just be a constant rinse and repeat till we run out of bubbles

dark-hollow4173d ago

The demo is just around the corner, and we will see about the "clunky" mechanics everyone is crying about, even though I don't approve the new Dante reboot yet, gameplay mechanics could make or break this game for me.

jimbobwahey4173d ago

Ah, another one of those suspicious articles detailing how the new DMC really is good, no honest, please believe us!

I can't help but be incredibly suspicious of the way that these pieces are always written, and the consistent gaps between each article that appears despite them being written by different websites, as if it's part of a regular PR campaign as opposed to genuine, unbiased journalism.

I certainly get the impression that these so-called previews are in fact paid advertisements, and it's hard to shake that feeling when reading them.

Hanso4173d ago

of course it is.
With so much backlash Cacpom surely did everything in their might to change DmC's status.

A7XEric4173d ago

Herp derp Dante looks like emo faggg. Game = bad because of bad haircut. Stupid Capcom herp derp.

Jinkies4173d ago

Herp Derp mis informed gamer on website thinks fans are still ticked off about a "bad haircut" Silly user herp derpy derp

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC4d ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos3d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga3d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer4d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6023d ago (Edited 3d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde3d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP3d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
