Well then dear escapists......It's really killing me to write this especially after what I read.
But for once I can say this.
[HEADING=2]MY RAGE DOESN'T CONCERN DANTE'S NEW LOOK NOW!![/HEADING]
It's something entirely worse....
After reading the latest GameInformer Magazine that I'm subscribed to. I was finally given some insight as to how the new Ninja Theory Devil May Cry is going to play.
It was the October 2011 Issue of GameInformer
In it was a brief description and and preview of the story and gameplay that will be incorporated into the new DmC.
[HEADING=1]STORY[/HEADING]
So apparently it seems Dante is working with a Woman who has yet to appear in any trailers as of yet and they are working together to rid Limbo City of this Demon Consciousness that it has.
Well since the city is basically alive it also possess some strange abilities. One is that the moment it spots Dante through a security camera it then begins to change into a sort of M.C. Escher style urban environment which ONLY Dante can see.
The reason why is that the moment he sees this happening he screams out to his assistant, "THEY'RE PULLING ME INTO LIMBO!!" which gives an interesting concept to the story and leaves us asking "Why Limbo?"
After defeating whatever demons the city unleashes into that particular area the city shifts back to normal and Dante returns to reality.
That's the sneak peek at the story.
[HEADING=2] In short, I LOVE the Story Concept![/HEADING]
[HEADING=1]GAMEPLAY[/HEADING]
Whew boy people, I'd be lying to you if I say I didn't have at least 3 full blown aneurysms while reading this. So I'll express these new elements of gameplay into the my categories I'll be calling aneurysms.
[HEADING=2]Aneurysm #1: The Weapon[/HEADING]
Dante no longer has Rebellion, nor is there any hint that he will be getting it any time soon. The sword that basically made Dante an Icon along with Alastor and Force Edge is gone and hereby replaced with a
Shape Shifting Scythe with Grappling abilities.
[HEADING=2]*Pop goes the blood vessel #1*[/HEADING]
My problem is that after viewing it, he plays TOO much like Nero. All swipes and No stabs and basically the grappling ability serves as a simple replacement to Nero's Devil Bringer. Sure it's good for Combos, but from what I've seen and read it looks like there wont be any sort of Combo System this time around. Grade my performance GOD DAMN YOU!!! At least Ebony and Ivory are still around.
[HEADING=2]Aneurysm #2: The Character of Dante[/HEADING]
I'm doing what I can here to look past the new look and give it a fresh start. So far it was working until I read something that might have killed me a bit on the inside.
DANTE is now Half-Demon and Half-Angel....
[HEADING=2]*Pop goes blood vessel #2*[/HEADING]
HOW THE F*CK are you going to take that winning formula of being half man and half demon away!?! HOW!?! That was one endearing trait I was hoping you wouldn't butcher, Ninja Theory!!!
The problem with this is that in both a literal and metaphorical sense it takes away Dante's Humanity. It seems as if he'll be torn between being Mother Teresa or Just some asshole Demon.
It honestly sounds like its incorporating moral choices. I HOPE TO GOD IT DOESN'T!
[HEADING=2]Aneurysm #3: His New Devil Trigger[/HEADING]
WHOO MAN O' MAN this one was the one that threw me into a never ending pit of despair.
When asked about how Dante's new Devil Trigger will work Ninja Theory explained that when Dante activates his Devil Trigger he delivers a ground shattering blow that catapults surrounding foes into the air which also slows down time and Dante Launches himself into the air as well while his black hair changes to white and his jacket turns into the Crimson shade we all know and love from the original Dante.
However here's the kicker. This Powered up Devil Trigger only lasts as long as you can stay in the air and perform combo after combo without landing.
Once your feet touch the ground again you revert back to your old self and the Devil Trigger is over....
So Dante's Devil Trigger is nothing more than a GIGANTIC SLOW-MO GLORIFIED AERIAL COMBO!
[HEADING=2]*Pop goes blood vessel #3[/HEADING]
And this is what followed suit the moment I finished that god-forsaken paragraph.
<youtube=ufsf_-a_H9Q>
[HEADING=1]Conclusion[/HEADING]
This seems like too drastic of a change for people, especially DMC fans. While the basic fighting mechanics seem to remain the same, the familiarity behind all of them has dissipated with the Loss of the ever Iconic Rebellion, Conventional Devil Trigger and Combo System (At least I hope the combo system hasn't left).
After reading this though I can honestly say;
[HEADING=2]I NOW HAVE GENUINE REASONS TO HATE THIS DANTE![/HEADING]
While we've been given no insight as to what his personality is, I'm finding this Half-Angel and Half-Demon thing to be a very hard pill to swallow along with this bullshit Devil Trigger.
So that's all the news I have concerning the New Devil May Cry. The game's release date has yet to be announced, but I hope in this time frame that Ninja Theory can do something about that Devil Trigger and hopefully return Dante back to a Half-Human Half-Demon.
[HEADING=2] Madara XIII out!
It'll be Ok Dante....[/HEADING]
