New Devil May Cry Set In "Parallel World"

[SL33TBL1ND]

How does this make a difference though? The character design is still awful.

 

[JdaS]

Loved it until it started trying way too hard and just sounding retarded. No offense, just sayin'.

About the new game being in a "parallel world": better off this way, really. I'm already put off by the game in its own merits. Selling it as a continuation of the DMC I know and love was just damn near insulting.

Bullcrap! Now Capcom is really pissing me off! Wanna know something? I was actually looking forward to the thought of this game as a PREQUEL(not a reboot, this is a teen Dante not a young adult we see him as).

The only problem with that is the fact that 1) They made him half angel all of a sudden, thus totally pissing on any sense of continuity that the series might've had left and 2) DMC3's Dante was like 19. How young is this guy supposed to be?

 

[AJax_21]

DMC have always been badly written, convoluted and so full of continuity holes, it'd put a swiss cheese factory to shame. Ninja Theory can do whatever the fuck they want with the story as long as the gameplay is as good, if not better, as previous DMC entries.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Where did you get this from? It seems like something someone typed up based on the current trailers we've seen, but still...I'm curious now.

4chan, so it's not trustworthy. Still entertaining, and a fan can dream...

Spoiler: And for the hell of it

If 4chan was in charge of the next DMC game:

>few years from now, after DmC flops and seems to be buried, at E3, New DMC announced, crowd murmurs
>trailer starts, demons wreaking havoc, people hiding away scared, the world has gone to shit with no one there to stop it
>cut to Donte, looking up at the sky and smoking
>crowd buzzes with disappointment
>He takes one long drag, getting up picking up his sword. He begins walking toward the screen
>crowd is now vocal with disapproval
>suddenly, a door flies across the screen, slamming into Donte and sending him off the screen.
>old motherfuckin Dante walks out
>"Didya miss me?"
>cut to glorious 60fps bloody palace gameplay
>Dante is pulling out all the CRAAAZZZY moves and weapons from previous installments, using otf switching, including the old styles from 3
>suddenly another, familiar looking hp bar appears on the screen
>crowd goes quiet, wondering what the fuck
>cut to a hand moving upwards to a red handle of a sword
>a loud rev is heard, a burst of flame emerges from the sword
>camera pans around to show Nero, grinning and baring his Devil Bringer
>"Okay! This may be fun!"
>Crowd begins cheering louder, drowning out the sound from the trailer
>Nero joins in the crazy, showing off old moves as well as new ones, including crazy bro-op moves where Nero pitches an enemy and Dante uses Rebellion like a bat.
>revealed to have multiplayer co-op
>All the enemies cleared, a boss drops down.
>Dante and Nero walk towards it
>Dante: "Is that all?"
>Nero: "Heh, I hope not"
>suddenly a voice rings out from behind the boss
>"Don't get cocky".
>cut to Vergil holding Yamato behind the boss
>Trailer cuts to black.
>One word is heard, spoken by all three characters in unison
>"Jackpot"
>Crowd bursts into treats

>one year later
>tgs
>Capcom's presentation
>they show the old trailer again
>everyone's happy, but they all say they saw it before
>after the "Jackpot"
>a familiar female voice says "Why do we let the boys have all the fun?"
>crowd recognizes it and begins to murmur
>cut to Trish going CUUHHRRAAAZZY with her own styles and techniques, wielding Sparda, Luce and Ombra.
>crowd begins to cheer
>"You're right. It's our turn now."
>rocket out of fucking nowhere, the explosion clears away some enemies
>Lady drops down, holding Kalina Ann, reeling in her grapple
>crowd cheers grow louder again as Lady and Trish begin rocking the Bloody Palace, doing specific co-op moves, Lady wielding her launcher, submachine guns and even pulling out Spiral
>Lady launches a rocket at the screen
>trailer cuts to black
>"Oh naughty, naughty. There are three boys and two girls. I think we should even the odds"
>flashes of a neatly proportioned Bayonetta pushing up her glasses.
>trailer ends
>Sparda and Eva are soon after revealed to be playable in the Bloody Palace

I'd love it.

Oh, 4chan. Well, that explains a lot. But you're right; it's at least entertaining.

Was the parallel world the land of gay?

 

[Blue Musician]

Seriously? And alternate reality? This feels as one of the laziest things I've heard all year, and I have heard a lot of lazy ideas.

But you'll bet that I will be really mad if they don't actually explore these alternate universes.

 

[karloss01]

So have they finished jerking everyone around and finally agreed what this new DMC is? maybe they've finally understood that maybe not everyone likes their new Dante so instead of trying to replace the old one, they are going to make a alternate universe so that both can exist without clashing with the other.

as for the game, i will admit i prefer Capcom Dante over the Ninja Dante. to convince some of the capcom dante fans they'll need to release a demo and at least on trailer that shows the new Dnate's personality becasue right now his mannerisms only show a brooding kid with temper issues.

 

[karloss01]

Also i'll add this here.

you all know about Capcom re-releasing HD versions of DMC1, 2 and 3 collection?

how about instead of buying DmC, we buy the HD collection, hopefully showing Capcom in sales figures that people prefer the old Devil may cry games to DmC. if you don't buy either then they'll assume that no one wants Devil May Cry and retire the series like they did with Dino Crisis.

 

[TheDooD]

snip

I would really like an HD version of DMC 1-3 I loved those games. I'm one of the few people that enjoyed DMC2 mainly because the overall atmosphere was incredible. I Also want a new Dino Crisis then another Resident Evil game. Capcom seriously fucked over a majority of their series. Hell DC and RE could easily run parallels. I just want to shoot something else then zombies or like-zombie things that look like people or horror movie rejects.

OT

Capcom pretty must shot themselves in the foot with this one. All they needed to do was let DMC rest up for a bit make some other games instead of short changing the fanbase. It's their fault for letting a rookie team like Ninja Theory work on such a title. Hell I'll rather have Team Ninja make a DMC, you know they already have what it takes when it comes to frantic combat, boss design and overall everything that a good DMC game would need.

 

[go-10]

as an avid comic book reader/follower I'm totally okay with this, if Capcom can now create a multiverse for all their franchises there might still be hope for Mega Man X, Resident Evil, Captain Comando, Bionic Comando, Dino Crisis, etc. to not head in a downwards spiral through the use of another universe

only bad thing is going to be all the Dante x Dante yaoi pics that are gonna flood pixiv

 

[punipunipyo]

Wow... really? I thought this new character is in a hardcore rehab center, for people who played too much DMC3, and the boy who went crazy are day-dreaming up all the demon fights, calling him self "Dante" as we seen from the video... just drug too much, and are imagining things...

so... it was a prequel? (but then, we have seen DMC3... so that can't be...)

so... it was a Reboot? (fans/non fans got angry...)

So... now it's an alternate reality? (like marvel/DC comic?) this is a piss poor excuse... why not just admit, you guys need Platinum Star back? I got it! write them a sorry letter, pay them double, and have them REDO your game, perhaps they can make another DMC game this time about Dante saving his brother!~

 

[Zero=Interrupt]

Well to be fair, as people who played "Nocturne" can tell you, this wouldn't be the first alternate world we've seen Dante involved in.

That said, as DC comics proved, overdoing this kind of thing creates more messes than it solves and then leads to more fan outcry when things get too complicated and they decide to condense things back down to one universe again for a while.

That said, I don't think Dante is a character they needed to mess around with to this extent to begin with, they just needed better writers and game designers for him, not a complete character reboot.

You, sir, are brilliant, and I and my legions of armored killing machines agree with you.

 

[Ghengis John]

Maybe if Ninja theory made games that aren't complete shit I would actually care about this

Team Ninja

Shouldn't it be ninja theory? i r confus

Ugh. Yes, it should be. I can't believe I did that. Fixed now.

There were ninjas involved Mike, that's what counts.

(Please read the previous sentence in the Crow T Robot voice of your choosing.)

 

[Evilsanta]

So now it's a parallel world?

Still not enterily sure about this. Sure the gameplay looks nice but a 30 fps lock? The fuck?

I want my 60 fps hack and slash goodness damn it!

Small lags in a game like this can really fuck up your style meter.

 

[WanderingFool]

I stopped giving a damn a while ago, but had they came out with this at the start, nobody would have gave a dman also, and they might have even been cool with the idea.

 

[UltraDeth]

One thing that bugs me about the new DMC is that it's an origin story, esssentially making it a prequel to the prequel (Yo dawg, we heard you like prequels!)

 

[maninahat]

As a fan of classic Dante and not so much a fan of new one, i assumed this at the very start of the debacle.

I just hope Ninja Theory shits out a DMC-standard[footnote]NOT DMC2[/footnote] playable game then we be allowed to forget that it ever happened.

By "debacle", I take it you mean "fans not liking a change in a character's aesthetics".

Basically, that is my impression of the whole thing. I don't have any investment in the franchise itself, so I haven't had the opportunity to get wound up over some character design changes. As a newcomer, I don't dislike the change over the original.

 

[Axyun]

I'm still not sure such drastic changes were necessary. I can understand that DmC may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the game was doing alright on it's own original merits.

http://www.videogamesblogger.com/20...ales-of-2-million-make-it-all-but-certain.htm

I typically enjoy games with more serious storylines and characters (Bioshock, AA, Deus Ex:HR, Mass Effect), but I always found the over-the-top, self-referential style of DmC to be rather refreshing.

 

[Bluecho]

I guess we'll be seeing Ultimate Devil May Cry soon. Come to think of it, how are we going to differentiate the two worlds now? Gonna do something like Earth 1/Earth 2 like DC?

Perhaps in this alternate Earth, we'll see a mustached Nero who isn't a complete pansy.

Let's just hope after the inevitable crossover that melds the two worlds together, we won't later see Superboy Prime punch the walls of reality and make Dante a woman. Or is that something we in fact want?

 

[Infernai]

This game has now been officially confirmed non-canon? As in...no baring whatsoever on the normal devil may cry, at all?


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, it's still a bad redesign, it's still a bad reimagining, it's still had terrible PR so far but....it's not canon, Dante's not gonna be soiled by this! I can actually leave this thing in peace now and just focus on the HD collection. All you people that want this new Dante can run free without snarky comment from me and enjoy...whatever the hell this thing is because, repeat after me folks: IT'S NOT CANON!

Let's just hope after the inevitable crossover that melds the two worlds together, we won't later see Superboy Prime punch the walls of reality and make Dante a woman. Or is that something we in fact want?

Internets already done that:

Spoiler

Whether or not it's wanted is something i'll leave up to the internet.
