"The controversy surrounding DmC: Devil May Cry has started to build up again, to the point where longtime series fans are once again steamrolling forums and comments sections with their rants about how they won’t be picking up the game. At this point, I’ve pretty much accepted that they just personally don’t like the game’s new direction or perhaps its gameplay alterations, and that’s understandable. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t have a rant of my own to give you folks tonight, because there’s been one recent event in particular that I feel needs to be addressed." (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)

Sorry, you'll have to forgive me. I just start feeling like I'm one of the only ones who even gave a crap about what Devil May Cry used to be at times...
Not that it's really even the point of the article. XD
And despite what others think, I like the 30 fps. No longer do I need to have the reflexes of a 12 year old Japanese kid to counter an enemy attack or pull off an awesome combo.
"logic never make sense"
And thats where I stopped reading. Assuming u wanted me to take ur comment seriously, starting with an insult won't work.
No. The higher the framerate the less blur you get. In real life our vision does not blur, the higher the framerate the crisper and better looking the image will be.
Also, again you seem to display that you believe Frames Per Second actually affect the speed of the game. It doesn't. It's simply how many frames the game refreshes per second, which leads to better looking animation and crisper control/view. If a game is running at 30FPS, the soldier is going to move at the exact same speed as if the game were running at 200FPS; Just the 200FPS soldier is going to looking a lot better.

I have no idea why DmC has so many defending it, the core fans are the ones getting screwed over here.
Dante was a damaged but likeable rogue, who's character ark in DMC3 opened him up making him one of the best and loved action game characters of all time.
Sure the games have always been corny, but that's part of the charm, Id take corny over trashy and dirty any day.
The plot reboot means we may never have any of the questions answered regarding certain characters/events from previous games, and considering how many question DMC4 posed, that's a shame. Also the new plot is pretty bad, feels like it came straight out of a poorly written comic book.
This has been said over and over but, 30fps for a action game, especially when it's DMC is pathetic, were not playing GOW or or some mere hack n slash, DMC is all about fast paced action with precision combat which is heavy on style.
Characters look ugly in the reboot, and I I'm not against cursing in games but I am when it's merely done for attention, Oh and now the "controversial video game sex scene" Wow... edgy.
And well no, no you probably aren't a core fan if you like this new direction because you've missed the point of why the previous games are superior... the game is just awful and how anyone can like it being as choppy, broken and unappealing as it is, is frankly beyond me.
It doesn't bother me because I'm buying God of War: Ascension next year, the developers of that series always deliver exceptionally well and would never abandon their fans.
Your rant is invalid.
@Logicwins...
Again with this guy. As for Dice using 30fps for Battlefield. The hardware simply can't run at anything more than that because it's OLD HARDWARE. If it could and they had a choice between 30 and 60 they would have went with 60.
DURRRRRRRR
I just tried the demo of it on my friends PS3 and the damn thing froze up three times without us continuing at all. We experienced a few glitches that almost broke the demo. A coworker had a glitch that caused new Dante to glide continuously throughout the stage. And this game is due in the first couple months of 2013. If the demo is glitching and freezing up, plus what I mentioned earlier, there is no hope for DmC at all.
I don't even want to hear about this damn game anymore.
Or in this case, free typing.
I mean FFS, do you honestly expect people to care that much about a crappy implied sex scene featuring ugly people? What I've cared to see of DmC's narrative has convinced me that its bad and uninteresting whereas with the games its failed to copy their narratives were bad but entertaining. Just like gameplay prior to the series offered different levels or reward to casual and hardcore. Not just offer a bland dump.
Trying to defend one crappy part of crap is just a waste of energy. That my opinion which I'm just as entitled to offer as you have have. Difference being I'm further expressing mine to ignore yours after reading the article title about something I've already chosen not to open my wallet for.
Good day to you sir!
Free speech.
and Bullshit.
I realize that I'm coming off as offensive, that some effort was put into writing this, but the thing not being understood is that this is akin to the Little Dutch Boy putting his finger in a leaking crack, when the rest of the damn dam has already broken. Yeah people cared about the stupid sex scene, but only as a further outlet to vent frustrations about other issues surrounding the game.
Either its going to manage to sell well in which case NT and their defends will say, "F*** All Haters", or it going to bomb and the same parties will say, "F*** All Haters For Spreading Your Hate. It Was Your Fault the Game Failed Not Ours." Which will spawn any number of articles positive and negative.
Seriously though, how else are they going to sell this garbage? Sure as hell won't be the demo that did it.
Im seriously wondering if Capcom and NT have any shame left, after insulting the fanbase butchering the plot/game mechanics and now we have a completely unnecessary sex scene just for the sake of it, what else can they do to piss us off?.
And that myth that he speaks of has already been broken numerous times. Look at game like Metal Gear or Deus Ex or Max Payne. All of those games have great stories and none of them needed this pointless crap.
Kurylo is just saying that in this game centered around "demons" (which are usually affiliated with sin and evil, imagine that) these darker grittier themes arent really all that out of place...and they kind of arent.
.............ROFLMFAO!!! XD XD XD
If you absolutely must play this game just get it used or borrow it. Do not give these guys your hard earned money.
2. If this were a new Zelda game you'd be a hypocrite because you'd be blasting if left and right.
If this were a new IP it would be judged as a new IP but don't blame people for comparing a new entry in a franchise to the older entries of the franchise. You look like a tool when you do.
And FYI i've never played zelda, and i would be willing to give HL3 an honest unbiased try even if they made Gordon Freeman a eunuch, and the combine a race of unicorns, and i'm a hardcore fan of the half life series. But you possibly cannot understand. You can't help yourself from passing judgements on unreleased games. How could you possibly get by without judging people you know nothing about....:\
the characters suck, the protagonist is a douchebag who needs to be hit repeatedly in the face, and this tacked on sex scene is in very poor taste. DmC is the worst of the worst kind of bull a developer can pull.
"Capcom are trying to sell it on the Devil May Cry name. It may be a new direction, but it's trying to use the established pedigree of Devil May Cry to be a cash cow and that is beyond the pale"
Well, yeah... How is this any different from what Marvel does with its characters? Or DC? There's nothing wrong with using an established franchise to take risks and breathe new life into them. This can also be seen in the newer 007 movies, where Daniel Craig's characterization of Bond is VERY different from the traditional Bond formula (And you probably know what I mean if you've ever seen the older movies).
I hardly see the issue with taking risks.
Sometimes reboots work and sometimes they don't work out.
Not at all different. But that's not the point. The point is that you can't take an established franchise, change it up, and then expect people to treat it as though it's new. It doesn't work that way. If you want something new, you make something new from scratch. If you make something new that has similar themes but you don't want it to be judged on what is already established, you make sure you tell everyone that it's a successor of sorts. You don't make a game like DmC, try to cash in on the name of the original series, bastardize it, and then act surprised that people are upset.
Take a look at Catwoman with Halley Berry. Sucked and was a reimagining. That should tell you something.
Take appropriate risk. Don't be surprised when your money grubbing comes back to bite you in the a$$.
It's a double standard to speak out against the negative opinions on this game yet ignore the positive opinions. I demand that you bash both sides or you say nothing to either side at all. Otherwise you're a hypocrite.
And I call BS on you enjoying a Half-Life game like that. Just Saiyan.
2-we all know the big reviw sites are gonna say good things capcom most likely paid them off(IGN).
3-its not the fact that they took a new direction its more of the fact that they completly downgraded the gameplay and are now blatantly trolling the original fanbase that loved DMC within the game, yea this game definatly deserves to sell.
4-i bet had this happened to mario, zelda, god of war, halo, assassians creed, or gears of war people would act the same way, yea lets downgrade the gameplay and trash talk the original fanbase.
"1-theres no metal music in this game its some weird sounding techno music"
There was no Metal in the first 2 DmC games.In fact the metal soundtrack was introduced in DmC3 and later in DmC4. So...Im not sure if you just started with number 4 and worked your way backwards but I thought I should just point that out.
What's stupid is defending a reboot of a franchise that the majority of the hardcore fans are absolutely repulsed by.
Hell, if all they did was change the names of the characters to something else entirely, I'd have less problems.
I don't think the game is bad. The demo, gameplay, graphics, it's all decent. But it doesn't have much in common- from a "feel" standpoint- with the rest of the franchise. And, to me, the "reboot" tag is just an excuse.
Still, the main problem is how Capcom and Ninja Theory treated the existing fanbase. I won't buy because of that, and that alone.
