Last week, the DmC: Devil May Cry demo was released on consoles. Now although this game was long-awaited by fans and heavely promoted by Capcom, the game has not recieved many positive responses. In fact, some fans thought it was so bad, that they decided to start bashing the game on forums, via angry emails, through YouTube and more. Why was the game bashed? What happened to Devil May Cry fans? Is the new Dante really that bad? Or does it have to do with the fact that the game doesn't feel like a genuine Devil May Cry title? So many questions can be asked, but in the end...

1- Dante is a lot cuter in this one. Yes it's true that the Dante we know is more "Badass", but this one seems crazy and less lazy.
2- The mechanics are cool, I admit that they are different, but they are fun to play with. Especially when you want to figure out what kind of style suits you best.
3- I did not care for the style points in this game. Getting to SSS was too easy by dodging at the right moment, that I just started to forget about that, and started to remember why I play DmC in the first place...I WANT TO KILL DEMONS WITH BLADES AND GUNS.
4- I hope using Ebony and Ivory in the game will be more stylish.
5- Devil Trigger doesn't last long enough...but then again, Dante is still a kid in this one.
Do I think this one will be good? Yes, but it will never...NEVER be as good as the other ones. Classics will forever be classic!
P.s: I'm alluding that you like twilight.
Who the hell even cared about DMC story? It was about the characters, bosses and crazy action. And not to mention its quirky Japanese flair that is no more.

Capcom are just cashing in to the trend of being really, gravely serious and having your lead character be a serious, troubled, trendy, "heart-throb". I mean c'mon people, stop just lapping up this sh!t.
This new game on the other hand is........ LAUGHABLE!
Whoever posted the video of EventStatus talking about everything DMC from its reveal up to this point is brought up and he makes some amazing points that alot of people who do not like the game have been saying. Here's the link:

No, Capcom is not cashing out on a trend. It's the head of Ninja Theory, Tameen being a jackass. He has stated many times before he doesn't care about the fans, and he's essentially turned the series into his own "thing". Essentially this guy thinks anything that is British Punk, smokes, and acts like a jerk to everything is the definition of cool. He's the same person that had a character randomly push another off a ledge in Enslaved because it made the character seem "Bad ass".
Hopefully this DmC: Devil May Cry title (DMC: DMC? lolwut) will sell like shit. Ninja Theory deserves nothin for ruining a series.
Tameen really don't know how to make extraordinary games. I mean Heavenly Sword was good not great, Enslaved was good, not great. I'm pretty sure this new DMC won't be any different.
*applauds*
YES!! I thought for a second that I was the only one that thought Donte looked like a twilight character!
You just cant do that to series like that, what if someone suddenly changed Master Chief? Changed Kratos or Solid Snake? A long running series needs different gameplay changes that fans want not what the devs want.
Im definitely NOT buying this and I will encourage everyone else to stay away from this game, what Capcom and NT are doing is a damn shame...

Yeah nah Dante is much better looking man than Donte.
I'll probably buy Tameem May Cry way later after its release though.
The game could genuinely be the best in the series (not that I'm saying it will be, just theoretically), and yet it would amount to nothing next to the rage that Tameem and Co. stirred up in the fans prior to the it's release.
In this case do you think NT did the same thing?
It'd be really funny is they did, and kind of sad.
they should all get fired.
Developers usually send a demo knowing very well that such a particular level is supposed to demonstrate the top of the game's quality and effectively promote the game saying "this is how awesome our game is". Yeah in a perfect world we would be floored when we see the final product, but get real, as a "journalist" you shouldn't be so naive to think that the big companies are gonna throw months of work out the window. The box art has been designed, the advertisers have reserved their airing times and for all we know the story of the game's next installment is already in the works.
No sh*t Capcom is going to retweet only the positive tweets, who in their right mind would retweet bad press?? And yes the developers see the bad tweets but it isn't stopping them, and it never has.
Bootycandy...OUT!
There are still plenty unseen layers to this beautiful new DmC cake.
I'm not even going to play it, Capcom and Ninja Theory can kiss my green ass.

If they had valid reasons (which are available), I would thank them for saving me $60 dollars.
He is not saying anything like that at all. In fact, all he is saying is that before making a purchase, people should watch what he thinks it is an informative video showing how bad the game really is. Do your reading again, calmly, and don't jump to precipitated butt-hurt conclusions. He’s not being immature or aggressive to anyone in any way. You are.
"History repeats it's self"...excatly
This game is tooooo less crazy than it should.
They could still have gone with Serious but still Insanely Crazy but...no, they didn't.
And I say once again that it's a pity because NT could pull out a great DmC but they refused to listen to fans.
The easiest way to make a great entry in a franchise it's not with a reboot but listening to fans, hardcore fans.
Capcom sees this controversy and revels in it as the gamers rip each other apart. I've was a huge Capcom fan growing up in the 80's/90's/ and early 2000s. They were a fantastic company in the past gens and I always looked forward to what they were going to produce each time I bought a new system. But this gen...what the hell has happened to Capcom?
Also complaining about glitches in the DEMO, REALLY ?!! A DEMO ? The game isn't gonna be launch until NEXT YEAR.
Most of the time I can understand people ranting about their memories of the favorite franchises changing, which is fine. To the point of posting irrational nonsense...is just stupid.
Personally, I like what I've seen so far. Of course I'm not hardcore DMC fan.....so I won't even debate on it. I'll say thought that the other DMC from 1-3 (since I bought the collection) felt much more scarier...than what was place in the demo. It was more suspense and the environments were more creepy.
There are several valid reasons for hating this game. First of all, teh most important thing is the gameplay. The gameplay in DmC is shallow and easy even on the harder difficulties. There is not skill and and technique required and one can get by by button mashing. I played DMC3 when it was released in 2005 and it was one of the toughest and most fun games to play even on normal difficulty. The player had to die multiple times to unlock the easy difficulty It required skill and button mashing would only get you killed. The button scheme in this game is weird and stupid. Why the hell are there two dodge buttons and no target lock button? The "accesibility" which everyone is praising so much is actually the game being dumbed down. The second valid complaint is that Capcom abandoned the series lore and story. Dante is now half-angel, he has an angel mode, his personality has changed, there is no Trish or Lady, there is no Gothic feel and the soundtracks suck. This is a completely different game and is Devil may cry only in name.
We have been playing DMC for more than a decade and have played every game in the series. I wonder what you were doing seven years ago when DMC 3 was released ... or 12 years ago when DMC was released and we original fans bought it? You kids who were running around in their halloween costumes and knickers when we bought the first DMC, should go back to your shooters instead of ruining our established franchises.
I'm 21 years old first of all. I've Played PLENTY of GREAT games last gen, hell even the gen before that.
So you can get the hell out of here telling me go back to shooters, when I've Played games way before the shooter phase has even came to place.
I wasn't remotely interested in Devil May Cry back on the Playstation 2 days. I gave it a chance with the HD Collection, so NO idea of where you got that assumption from. Then again, anytime these articles pop up, you have to have that one moron who categorize people into some shooter Category.
Halloween Costume ? Sorry Ma'am, Sir, w.e your gender may be I couldn't give a damn. I stop Halloween since I was 4.
It's 6 weeks away, it gives the time to find out the issues if they so choose, and more than likely roll out a day 1 patch. You know ?
I've bought plenty of games which has a patch as soon as a I pop the disc in. Which is why complaining about that nonsense to me is stupid.
Everything else you've type seems valid enough to me, so there's no reason for me to say you're wrong. I'm still playing the collection, so until I've beaten all of them. I think DMC 5 is alright in my book for now.
Lets see what was I doing 7 years ago ? I'm almost Positive I was playing Socom online ^_^.
Back in the PS2 DMC days, you would have been 10 or 11. Were your tastes really that refined? I call bulls***. And playing a game 10 years after the fact is not what I'd call "giving it a chance".
Also, DMC is already on disc and heading to stores. It's how Capcom works. They won't radically change the core of the game because they don't have time.
You honestly think they'll patch the broken evade system or the dumbed down combat in a few weeks?
And speaking of young, a demo is a demonstration and representation of the final product, unlike a beta which is designed for the sole purpose of testing.
Le us see... if you are 21 now then that means you must have been 9/10 when the first DMC was released. When DMC3 was released you were probably 14/15. You were a kid, that is for sure. You probably didnt even know about DMC or even owned a PS2 so you couldnt have been interested in it. LOL.
Anyway you have matured in shooter, westernised, buggy and dumbed-down games era so you are unable to appreciate fine games and are unable to distinguish bad games from good. That is why you do not find anything wrong with DmC. Oh well, what can we old guys do. The world keeps on changing for the worse including the gaming world.
Reading isn't your friend is it?
He wrote: "I wasn't remotely interested in Devil May Cry back on the Playstation 2 days. I gave it a chance with the HD Collection,"
lol ya Idjit!!!!
"Let me know when I see valid reasons on n4g besides of how he looks"
Why do you keep saying that....theres plenty of valid reasons being said on here over and over again, the problem is people like you who try and defend the game ignore those reasons because you don't want to admit that we are right.
Look at the video above that Hanso posted
http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Is that enough for you
To you it's like "LALALALALALALA not listening"
It should be in the New Demos section on XBL and it's probably still under Latest on PSN. (content in the Latest section does not show up in the proper sections for a while, so if you can't find new stuff, check the Latest section)
Indeed, there is always room for improvement after a demo is released... in this case, not so much. Unless they go the aC3 massive patch on day 1 route, I don't foresee too much change from the way it is now.
He refered to certain things Eventstatus said, but "FORGOT" to mention that Tameem Antoniades (NT) has shown a attitude that they have no intention to fix the feedbacks given to them on twitter about the demo.
And he says DmC isn't a game that's supposed to copy DMC, really? Look at DmC with a real objective lens you fool, everything DmC is doing is copy DMC to make itself popular.
And funny enough he's telling fans of DMC to give Ninja theory a break when on twitter someone gave Tameem a constructive critism and he just dismissed it with his bullshit attitude.
ARTICLE WRITER is a DmC supporter. Enuff said.
The fact he hasn't shown or linked to glitches or bugs found on demo, and other problems with DmC CONFIRMS that more.
I went back and played DMC4 and a little of 3 in its greatest moments for an accurate comparison of what was at hand and the only things different about this is that This Dante has no styles like trickster, or gun slinger.
This game takes most of its reference from DMC4 with the devil bringer mechanic and Dante's instant style switching mechanic which is more or less applied to this Dante's demonic and angelic weapon switching mechanic.
I'm kinda scratching my head as to why itsuno-san removed staples like stinger type moves and the one hundred stab type movesfor a more combo centric style gameplay, don't get me wrong, seeing a full 30 hit combo unfold in front of your eyes is awesome, but moves like stinger and air raid made for some awesome combo set initiators. And sliding on the back of demons had there charm as well.
This DmC is an amalgam of DMC's best and a refinement of DMC's not so good mechanics, parrying is great, but I'm not sure I get why they need 2 dodge buttons and no lock on feature, and while I understand that this is a demo, I would have loved to see the upgrade mechanic at work like we see in DMC4 and past DMC games.
I'm not sure what people say that attaining SSS is way too easy, it just means that you've played the hell out of previous DMC games to know the general mechanics of how to attain SSS, if you've mastered SSS in DMC1-4 you'll get SSS very quickly in DmC:Devil may Cry. Its as if these hardcore DMC fans don't realize that they are hardcore which is why they got SSS so quickly in the first place.
For a game that runs on the bug ridden Unreal engine 3 and is practically stuck on a 30 fps lock, and is known for texture pop ins and streaming issues, this game performs rather well and is pretty stable, especially when the lead platform was 360 I'm surprised I experienced no dips in frame rates on the PS3 which I believe should have been the system this game should be lead on. It plays well and the physics works quite well, would this game have benefited more from the MT-F3.0 engine from cap com's stable? Yes but that was more capcom's decision.
Overall DmC plays like past DMC games in aesthetics, it controls like a DMC with less complexity and more refinement, and Story seems more serious, which is more than we can say for any of the past DMCs by a county mile.
I personally can't wait, as die hard DMC fan I like this Reboot to the old formula. I'll buy the game and see what the whole story brings to this take on Dante.
After completing it in January I'll see if the reboot was a success and if Capcom made the right decision using NT to carry out this task.
It's only "intelligent" to you and "mature" because you share the same opinion.
stop being delusional, the game will play exactly like that.
just goes to show that the game is so bad, that ppl think this is like a beta version full of shit things that will "fixed"
i am going to laugh when the game releases and it's full-on shit, like everything else capcom is releasing nowdays.
After Emo-Dante why not ?
Thats the next game on their list
This series' fanbase is a bunch of whiny superficial turds.
I'm not happy with the direction NT took DMC, but I will still probably give the game a chance. The demo was enjoyable to me, but it feels more like it should be a new title, rather than having the DMC name stamped on it.
I love Platinum but....smh
Just my opinion of course lol
I do agree that the graphics are nothing to smile about. What really drew me was the gameplay that felt like remnants of Power Stone, Godhand and Spawn: In the Demon's Hand which were games that I loved (and series that Capcom should take consideration to resurrect).
Then the game has hilarious additions such as carpet bombing, terra forming, runaway Mobile Suits, and other elements that authentically feels like the areas are trying to kill you to keep the matches interesting against opponents.
I understand if it isn't your cup of tea though because I am expecting for it to record niche sales at best in the U.S........

-Swearing, I mean.. who wrote that script? So uncool to just swear like that dude.
-smoking. Smoking is used to illustrate the new degenerate cool here. Just shows the target audience of the game.
I could go on and on on why I hate the new Dante, but I could go on and on as to why I hate DmC as a whole. Heres a few reasons.
Its UE3. I feel that is why the gameplay feels so damn slow.
Its easy. I mean, this Dante is clearly appealing to an teen category, is this why its easy?
Everything does not feel like a DmC game.
I will not buy this. Even in the bargain bin, I will walk past this bs they call DmC.
