DmC - The new Devil May Cry from Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword) and Capcom

I'm disappointed that they just forgot about Nero. I was looking forward to playing as him again. I loved his arm; it was really satisfying to use. But, that being said, I don't hate this new direction. I'm not in love with it, either. I'm waiting to see the important stuff: like, you know, gameplay. I am intrigued. Very intrigued. Definitely looking forward to what they do with it.

Also, Dante looks way more punk/goth than emo.

^ He looks more homeless than punk/goth.

^ He looks more of an all around badass than anything. Hair color= automatic whiny emo?

Pretty sure that DMC3 Dante is in his late teens, but I might just be CUHHHRAZZYY.

I've never played a DMC game before. How is this very different? Don't they all feature brutal gameplay and a contemporary setting? This just seems to be less generic, IMO, and featuring a more interesting-looking protagonist. All I know about DMC is that it's famous for its attractive female NPC's and musical instrument weapons. Also, the second one was apparently horrible.

It's different because they changed the main character into an angsty looking emo teen, while the original DMC Dante was cheesy, fun, laidback, badass, CUUUHHRAAAZZY.

If he does turn out to be angsty emo angry, then they made it even more generic.

Also, DMC basically started games like Castlevania LOI/COD, God of War, etc etc.

Personally, from the pictures, the new Dante or Nero, or whoever he is, looks quite laid back. I like the image of him smoking while laying on a Gargoyle. And by generic, I meant visually, as Dante looks like he's stepped out of a Final Fantasy game. I mean, he has white hair, an exposed chest, and a huge sword. DmC looks like it's trying to appeal more to western gamers.

He only had an exposed chest in 3. When he didn't have time to put on a shirt when demons started wrecking his house.

And while he does look like he's stepped out of a jrpg, he actually has a reason to have white hair. He's half demon. He has a twin brother, and the huge sword was an heirloom. And it beats all jrpg swords out there.

He also makes a habit of getting impaled every now and then.

On the bright side, NewDante is a bit less like Inuyasha.

Except in 3 he was chillin eating Pizza while you know there were 5 demons stabbing him with scythes. You know. No big deal.

I just hope it can be lightyears better than DMC4 when you look past DMC2 storyline it was actually a good game and had his most Badass demon form (the one when you go demon with an inch of health). This new dante though dosent look that bad it can be reboot if they actually make the gamplay back to its good ol demonic roots.

I had the pc version of DMC4. With Turbo Mode turned on, the combat was THE BEST out of all DMC games, having free reign over Dante's 4 basic styles (and 5th one later on) and all weapons. Nero's combat was good, too, but the arm made everything almost easymodo.

I mean, look at this ****:



The combat was ****ing godly.

Brea is so amazing.
I find it strange that most Devil May Cry expert players are female.
...actually it's not that crazy, Dante is a hottie.
Oh, the joy I felt when I unlocked shirtless Dante in DMC3

The only thing that was good about DMC2 was the DDT and with that you could kill any boss easily.
