And they're not the ones you'd expect.
"Oh look, all the fanboys are mad because they are afraid of change! They're so immature! I didn't like DMC anyway!"
Every time I see an argument like this I get quite aggravated.
I mean, here we have a game series of 4 games in which only 2 of them are held in high regard. The second in the series is mostly ignored by people, and 4 was a huge disappointment for many because of the switch in Protagonist. People really wanted to see a new generation Devil May Cry game featuring the Dante they all know and love.
Then comes this reboot. The art-style is completely different from what DMC fans have come to expect, as it is now more dystopian future than a gothic setting, and Dante looks, sounds, and seemingly acts nothing like he used to.
I get it, not everyone thinks this reboot is a bad idea, and are intrigued, but they need to understand that to a lot of us, we still want a great DMC game on the new generation more similar to DMC 3 or 1 before we move on to a reboot. The series hasn't been given the proper goodbye it deserves. I mean for christ sake, continuity wise the series ends with a cliffhanger. Is it so hard to understand that people don't want change until the original series has been given a satisfying conclusion?
So please, stop calling people opposed to this "fanboys", or say that they are afraid of change, because it's not true. Some people might be overly dramatic about this, but that's no reason to insult them.
I agree. There should be T-Shirts with the new Dante and the text I Believe under it or something )Lyri said:Fuck the fanboys.
DMC was rather stale, props to Ninja Theory for going 180 on it's ass.
Actually, I think his real name is Hillary Swank.Queen Michael said:"What is your name?"
"Lisbeth Salander."
(Yeah, I stole that joke from FargoDog, but dang does it look like her. Especially like I imagined her in the books.)
That part right there made me chuckle and remember the good old days.Silva said:Devil May Cry is not about a black haired, smoking boyhood protagonist who ends up in chains tortured several times. It's about a white haired half-demon man who enjoys pizza and strawberry sundaes who repeatedly gets stabbed through the chest with his own sword during his adventures.
Got to be honest here, never though someone other than me might say those words.Only Capcom can handle this with the care that it deserves. And even they have not been treating it properly since DMC3, which still as far as I'm concerned is the best of the series.
I fully agree, and this game actually looks pretty cool, but i need to see a gameplay vid first before i buy itLyri said:Fuck the fanboys.

Firstly, excluding how the different concepts of Heroes and DMC as well as their different mediums might very well make your argument lose a lot of strength, there's a difference between demanding that you never change your formula and not wanting a reboot. I haven't seen anyone cry out "WE WANT DMC TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME WITH NO INNOVATION WHATSOEVER!". People don't want a reboot because they still believe that the series as it is can reach new highs, not because they want to play remakes of the first game until the world's end.blakfayt said:To every fan saying "how dare they change Dante!" I point out the only series I've ever known to just do what the fans want... Heroes. Yes, that shit faced show that died after one season died mainly because all the fans demanded that everything stay the same and it did, and it died. DMC is not a series that is typically played by the halo lover groups, therefore it must eventually change, or die. If it was always about this one guy, killing these few new demons and consuming about 20 hours of you life before you realize you own with this weapon set, and you get all the health and you beat the game many times, you would eventually get bored with it, every good game must at one point or another change the formula to fend off stagnation. I for one think the new Dante is creepy as fuck and if done right this new game could be similar to what DMC was originally gonna be. (for those that don't know, DMC was going to be some kind of Resident Evil spin off with demons, and instead we got an epic hack'n'slash, so they could make this new game kinda scary, along with some of the old DMC awesome and it could go far) I'm a true fan of DMC and as such I will wait until this game comes out before I pass judgement on it. (though, Dante's hair is kinda emo lookin)
Indeed.Queen Michael said:"What is your name?"

It's Lisbeth Salander, friend; of course she's going to be badass. But yeah, it was cool.Deadlock Radium said:Indeed.Queen Michael said:"What is your name?"

If the game turns out to be good, I might check it out.
And am I the only one who thought the trailer was a little badass? Well, except for Dante's looks?

Do the names of characters and places seem funny (as in ha-ha funny) to you? To us Swedes, Norwegian and Danish are funny languages, but they don't sound funny when I read names in those languages in Danish and Norwegian novels that have been translated to Swedish. Do the Swedish names in Män som hatar kvinnor sound funny to you?Deadlock Radium said:I need to go read the rest of the Millenium books.Queen Michael said:It's Lisbeth Salander, friend; of course she's going to be badass.
