@Godmars: The difference between then and now is that Capcom literally can't afford to piss off the fanbase this time. They simply don't have the money to absorb another flop like DmC was for them.
If it ain't the classic Devil May Cry Dante. Don't buy it, let Capcom go under and go bankrupt. Maybe then the next person in charge would treat their fan base better.
@DragonKnight: No, pretty sure during their last stock meeting, they blamed fans for the general failure of the new direction of the RE series. Said that we were too old.
I thoroughly enjoyed DmC:Devil May Cry! The world made sense, it was cohesive, and the characters gave some pretty believable and meaningful performance!
The pacing was great, and the combo system while simple did feel pretty rewarding when attempting ing the cancels and reversal counters!
NT + Capcom please make it happen on PS4... A DmC:Devil May Cry 2 at 1080 60fps PS4 on Panta Rhei, or UE4!
Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory.... Please no Ninja Theory....
(Edited @ 9 agrees and 1 disagree...not pulling a fast one) I want a Devil May Cry not a DmC. I know some people thought it was good, and I agree TO AN EXTENT, that being that I see WHY some people might like it a bit, but this was not the Devil May Cry I have known since RE Code Veronica's demo disc. I don't need another video showing the similarities either (whoever posted that last time, thank you but that's not my point). Please just bring back the series Japanese roots, white haired Dante (by white haired, I mean the ORIGINAL Dante attitude, Ruben Langdon, the calm collect DANTE...not DUNTE with white hair) and lets have some devs that actually have a clue about the series this time.
Presentation easily goes to DmC, the concept of limbo being the demonic dimension sells that verse so well (are we going to get a angelic limbo this time?).
Gameplay however, easily goes to Capcom. DmC was fine, but I want DMC gameplay when I play Devil May Cry, not Heavenly Sword 2.0 (although I would love a new Heavenly Sword Sony).
Combine the two and we have the best DMC yet, IMO.
It would be best to offer two skins so gamers can play as Old Dante and New Dante so there's no complaints. Plus I like both of them.
I'm hoping for a hybrid of the two 80% original, 20% new. DmC brought some good ideas that sell the believability of DMC. Limbo just makes sense and should become part of the franchise from now on, demons in control of politics (makes sense in the real world too), angel / demon hybrid for more unique weapons (I enjoyed the angel weapons).
Other than that everything else can go back the way it was especially gameplay.
As long as Capcom is in control of the gameplay I'll be happy. If it's a definitive edition (which it likely is) I'm guessing 1080p @ 60fps + DLC. Hopefully they learn from Square's Tomb Raider incident and sell it for $40 as a GOTY edition normally would.
dmc was crap, it was an inferior DMC game in every way yet it got better scores then DMC4.
I mean WTF.....sorry say what you want about my silly tin foil hat but something is going on there, especialy when all of a sudden the month before it came out journalists suddenly started to defend it despite not saying anything about it the 2 years it was being criticized. Oh don't forget the majority of big site reviews sounding all the same and talked more about the so called "haters" then the actual game it's self
Seriously they better go back to DMC and forget about dmc.
Ninja Theory should not be allowed it after what they did to it, they were so disrespectful.
I completely agree gameplay-wise it was nothing like a traditional DMC, but overall the game was still good and enjoyable. There were some good ideas there, unfortunately Capcom didn't do the combat (thus Heavenly Sword 2.0 was the combat) and Unreal Engine was used instead of Capcom's which resulted in many of the technical issues.
If Capcom can take DmC's ideas, with their own engine, bring back DMC gameplay, and offer both Dante skins for both fans then DMC 5 should be the best in the franchise.
off topic : woow fox your comment is just perfect btw is that tails on your avatar just asking on topic : yeah i saw most of the reviews they were talking more about what the old ( whining ) fans will do when they see this or that , and didnt truly review the game based on what it did offer . its simple personally i wont buy a DmC game i will buy a Devil May Cry game
Yeah exactly, thats what most of them said. I felt like the other half of the good reviews just forget what a DMC game was supposed to be like
Hey people can like it but when it's got something to live up to then you can't give it better scores then the last game which was better. It has a name to live up to
It got better review scores then 4 because well, 4 was complete crap. The ONLY good thing about 4 was Nero. The whole game was just a backtrack of things you already did as Nero and they were worse as Dante. No devilbringer as Dante was the worst decision ever. I also understand he couldn't have that but why not give him something with reach to bring things close to him.
Oh and I'm a huge fan of the new DmC game but I also really like the old ones too so sue me.
Just had to add in Dante had a devil trigger In dmc 4. I think dmcs gameplay was the best, both characters were fun. But yea level design was poor on Dante parts because they were previous places
@Abizzel: You say there were good ideas. Which ones were you thinking of? I didn't see any good ideas come from DMC that weren't used already in the previous games.
Maybe the Angel/Demon weapons but honestly, with the enemies only taking damage from certain weapons, all that was doing was forcing you to play a certain way. Taking away from the freedom of combat. We went from 60FPS to 30FPS We went from clean crisp textures to dirty, slimy nasty ones. Dante was easy to control, now he stumbles. No lock on.
That's to name a few. To tell you the truth, I feel like we lost alot with NT making this one.
Honestly besides the shitty script and characters in the reboot,the story was actually nice in it and the game play was fucking awesome.If they do make a sequel just keep the characters more like the last ones and a better script writer and it will be perfect.
What is not classic about the title from ninja theory? Perhaps you don't like DMC any more and somebody else is guilty. The Character looks like Dante, you can see it in Chapter one in the hair scene. The gameplay is totally DMC. The Game was nearly perfect. What you are complaining about?
Forgive the apparent willy-waving, but having beaten every mission of every DMC with an S rank (excluding DMC2) I still found the DmC reboot to be better and more enjoyable than the classic series. Think what You will of Ninja Theory, but I felt that they delivered an excellent game.
yeah and they wanted to go mainstream with that DESIGN XDDDD but guess what they got the opposite LOL . well i wont get too excited about this rumor in case they use the same style again because that would make it an automatically ignored game for me
hi Mr.CEO of capcom oppps its not you. Capcom knows what they should do old dante sold more so in terms of business they should return to that style but evolve the game to make it more interesting for gamers
Literally just saying, as someone who didn't like New Dante, that people will complain if he doesn't show in the next game.
Just like I was pointing out new Dante was in Sony All Stars, while old Dante popped in Street Fighter and is no going to be in some DW clone.
Ad if anything proves that Capcom doesn't know f*** all that they're doing it should be almost everything they've done this console gen. From MML3 to DMC: DmC.
Theres actually DMC fans out there and we were here first.
You don't change a franchise into a shadow of it's former self and let the new fans it's brought it dictate where the franchise should go next. They only like it now because it changed and it was more accessible to them....they didn't actually like DMC for what it was
It's the same with new Resident Evil fans, if you started to like it with RE5/RE6 then your not really a RE fan.
I really hope it's a sequel but if you read the last few sentences they mention it could possibly be a definitive edition which might be cool but I'd prefer a sequel.
Yes please, a sequel to last years would be fantastic, absolutely love it. I'm a big fan of the old games and I thought DmC was great, far better than 2 & 4 and just as good as 3 so I would love Ninja Theory have another crack at it.
If they make a new game I hope they go back to classic style Devil May Cry.
Sweet bring on another Devil May Cry
Hopefully they continue with the DmC storyline. This time it won't be outsourced but they can still follow that same storyline.
Enjoyed the reboot myself, I think the ending was too open to not progress with a sequel.
Cue the infamous DMC scene!
