Why wont you people listen to me?
I'm a huge fan of Devil May Cry, not Dante (he's a prick), but the games themselves and when I'm putting my argument across on forums about the new DmC I feel like Charlton Heston seeing the Statue of Liberty on Planet of the Apes, seriously guys, YOU MONSTERS!
Its a reboot, not an origin story.
Probably a whole new Dante.
The Sparda can shape shift.
Why are the pews stuck in mid air in the E3 trailer?
I think I got that out of my system...
What are the "fans" complaining about again?
I should have put a disclaimer that it wasn't directed at you, but just I need to get that out of my system.
I don't mind the new look and since this is going to be the first DMC in the time line. But c'mon he does look like NT head guy. Oh well combat looks fun as ever, and these guys can also tell a story, so no worries there.
I think you missed my whole point.
As for owning us, they already set a bar for themselves saying that this game will sell 5 Million, something that no Devil May Cry has ever done. Pissing off the fans, ignoring us, and breaking the fan base is no way to get that, wouldn't you agree? But they don't seem to realize that.
They seem to be forgetting who their making this game for, us fans. You know the people who buy the games so they can keep there jobs? So why not listen to us? They should have known that completely changing a character like Dante into something who we would have no idea who the hell he was till we were told, would have a major backlash onto them. I agree with at the point there's a difference between "heeding fan advice" and "present thy ripe ass for the fans", but ignoring and insulting us? Is that really the way to go?
In an interview the Development Team of Ninja Theory, Tameem Antoniades himself said that Capcom Japan is doing the gameplay AND the bosses. So what are Ninja Theory doing? It took them a year and a half to get authorized to use the design they had for Dante, which was pretty much just throw his face on it, what have they done?
We tried being civil with them and look what happens, they come out and say they don't care about the people they have to sell this game to. How could you applaud that? I'll say it again, they want 5 Million sells for this game, something no Devil May Cry has ever done. Now with this pissed off broken fan base, can you really see that happening?

Oh wow... I hadn't seen the developer before but... wow. Fuck him. That's all I can say. At least be more creative than to just put yourself in a game like that >.>anthony87 said:
Anyway, as far as the trailer goes... eh. It looks fine I guess but there doesn't seem to be any significant change in gameplay. Just looks like the same DMC style fighting before. I guess that's good but, like what was said before, the environments worry me a little bit. They look rather large and the style seems to match that of DMC2 so... yikes. I'm worried for this one.
An earlier trail showed that the silver hair is part of his Devil Trigger.orangeapples said:
As I see more trailers I feel better about the game, my big problem about the trailers wasn't the new look but the overall change in mood of the game, it looks like I'm supposed to be taking Dante seriously now, when the corny badass act of Dante is part of the fun for the rest of the series.
One question though is this a prequel or a reboot, I've been hearing both?
I imagine because they still think that, for the majority of potential customers, outside is a strange new frontier.scw55 said:
So tired of every AAA title that comes out seems to be gritty and brown. Can someone please make an engine that's better than the Unreal one and actually allows COLOR.
I highly doubt the fanbase would have been satisfied with whatever Ninja Theory would have done. Even if they kissed the ground they walked on they would still complain about losing the series to a western developer, I bet.Seiei said:
It's a lofty goal for them, 5 million copies. Will they succeed? Only time will tell.
I thought the purpose of a reboot was to bring in new fans, not contain the old ones? Evidently, Capcom decided that DMC needed a reboot, and this is the direction Ninja Theory is going with. Don't like it, tough noogies.
Considering that the current fans could only muster up 2.7 million copies [http://www.vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=Devil+May+Cry&publisher=&console=&genre=&minSales=0&results=50&sort=Total] of just the first game (with the recent DMC4 not even getting half the original sales), I am fairly certain that aiming for a more broader audience would be more reliable to bring in that 5 million copies than leaning on the schizophrenic support of the "fans".
So, if Ninja Theory isn't doing anything as you said, what's the problem? Ninja Theory should therefore not be taking any flak for this shit. Could you elaborate on what exactly you were saying here, link the original article perhaps? I don't really know what this means (being honest here).
Are you serious? Are you seriously saying that with a straight face? Just looking at the comments of the initial launch trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhSYQt_gjVs] for the game shows that the fans were never being civil about this from the get go, and they continue to be immature children in this ongoing schlemiel. They would never have responded in such a way if the "fans" didn't so fervently oppose the game from the very get go.
They're not selling this game to the "fans", this is why it's a reboot. It's to draw in new players, new fans, new audiences. It's working for me, at least, it's piqued my interest.
Have you ever thought, because the recent DMCs have been slowly declining in sales (as per my previous link), and because no DMC game has made it to the 5 million mark, that is the reason they are doing this reboot?
I applaud them because they're not trying to pander to their fans and submitting to their every whim. They are coming under heavy fire from them, but they are sticking to their guns because they want to make their own game. I don't know if the game will be gold on a diamond stick or shit on a shit shovel, but if it is either of those options it would be because the game itself was good/bad on its own merits, not because it doesn't appease the fanbase over the slightly ruffled look Dante has.
Looks like DMC. Now can they just lay down a bit of the story, then I'll be content with the game getting released. I'm probably going to get it anyway, but knowing little of it really isn't great.
Calumon: Why does he look funny? Hasn't he heard of a bath?
Jack: Haven't you?
Calumon: Uhh.... *flys away*

I enjoyed the story a lot. I know it's silly but I like the story and always wanted some form of continuation after DMC2 (which I'm assuming is the last in order of story) but with this stupid reboot, seems I'm not getting that.
And... you know, I wouldn't be so mad at this idea if it weren't for the developers basically saying "fuck you" to the fans and taking up this series in order to make money. I know making games is all about money as is really anything but still, there seems to be zero creativity thrown in that wasn't just a purposefully shoved giant middle finger into the faces of the fans.
To be honest, I've been on the fence about this for a while, as I really like the dmc series and was not happy about the fact that the series is getting rebooted this soon as well as the whole new look for dante.
However, after taking some time to think, I decided to not condemn this game too early. The fact that it is a reboot does leave room for the more familiar dante to show up later on. And after a while I learned to tolerate the new look (not like...tolerate)
Now that I've seen this gameplay, I'm ready to step off the fence. Seeing this gameplay warms me a bit as I get the feeling of old dmc games: crazy combos fun weapons along with some old standbys. And I think I saw some Devil trigger or something like it for a bit.

R-I wasn't sure at first but seeing this new gameplay has given me hope for this reboot to be nice.

A) You're blind, this game looks like a blast andAiddon said:
B) How in any way is this even close to being borderline racist?
Great so that scythe thing is the primary weapon...I liked Dantes Inferno...but not enough to want them to devolve my DMC into it.
Is that a sissy girl grunt Dante makes at 30 seconds in? >.<
All in all not impressed and still not buying it atm, (And I am one of those people who doesn't care what he looks like aslong as he eventually turns into the character we all love) DMC4 looked better and Nero was by far the most annoying character to play as.

...for the gameplay?anthony87 said:
Don't get me wrong, I love a good story as much as the next guy (in fact I put a good story up much higher in importance than others would), but........it's Devil May Cry. Just....Devil May Cry [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8qG4AlK1qk]. It's not exactly the pinnacle of great story or storytelling for video games, and expecting otherwise would just disappoint.
