Thank god you didn't use the word "reboot" because this is certainly not even close. But I also have another word that is kind of synonymous with re-imagining. It's called fanfiction. I believe I would simply accept this new game as a new IP in its entirety and call it a DMC ripoff. Would certainly have been better than trying to use the DMC name and make a new game entirely.Vanitas likes Bubbles said:Jesus people! It's a re-imagining

Exactly a story explanation already exists, the white hair is a characteristic of Dante's demon side sense he's not fully awakened to his demonic powers it's not manifesting itself, it shows up when he's in devil trigger and may be permanent by the end of the game, I'm guessing Vergil starts the game more powerful and aware of his demonic side then Dante.Daystar Clarion said:Wonder why he has white hair...TimeLord said:Well he looks a hell of a lot better than new Dante.

Decided to change it because of the backlash from Dante maybe?
Probably a story explanation.

Okay. Thank you for showing me that clip. I kept hearing sound bites of that in the Ultima 9 review and didnt know what video that was from.SwOJester said:Really I dont what to say but this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF_Ca45JRFs
This is NOT Vergil. Even as a reboot it just look average at best, and I dunno if the whole ''demon enslaving mankind'' is the entire plot, but it just sound really weak. (Yeah ok, the plot in DmC as always been kinda cliche and boring apart from the third one, but after all this time, you'd think they would come up with something better)
And if that girl turns out to be lady, I'm gonna cry. Dunno if they said her name at some point, I didn't payed much attention.

EDIT: The level designs are awesome anyways. But I feel that the potential is wasted as a hack n' slash game with minor or very weak platforming gameplay. I just feel that it would've been better as a platforming game with the awesome concept of Limbo and the environment trying to kill you as if it's Silent Hill.
Ah that would be unfortunate I do hope the combat ends up being on par with DMC3, but from what I';ve seen I do have some concerns about it being shallow, the constant assertion that "the combat system is both accesible to newcomers and deep to series veterans" does worry me. The old combat system was fairly accesible in terms of getting combos done, I mean between A&R and Cerberus you can win by maybe 2 or 3 combos and some dodging in 3. (Though, I'm more of a Beowulf/Rebellion man myself).
And to your edit that would be cool, especially if they hadn't called it DMC and had passed it as a new IP, adn thrown in some well refined sands of time esque free running mechanics to keep a good flow through the game. I think you're on to something with that =p
TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!Alternative said:I dont even.... what is this?
why do they keep using names from a series of games that i loved.
i mean surely it must be coincidence seeing as that looks nothing like a Devil May Cry game.
Oh thank God. I'm sick of standing alone in the "I actually like the look of this game" corner. Nice to see SOME positive remarks.ChildofGallifrey said:So....I'm about the only person who didn't rend my shirt in twain and loose a peal of rage at the heavens upon seeing Dante's new design, eh?
The gameplay still looks good, so I'm willing to keep an open mind.
EDIT:
Yay, I'm not the only one!Sarah Kerrigan said:Seriously? People are hating now on Vergil too?! Come on people. I get Dante doesn't look the same, but it's a fucking REBOOT!! Not Devil May Cry 5, it's called DmC. A reboot people, calm the fuck down. The gameplay looks the same, doesn't it?
Anywho, now that I beat that box to the ground; I like how Vergil looks. I figure he looks like himself (not that Dante doesn't look cool, which he does.) and the relationship between the brothers looks like it's there too, which bumps it up greatily.
I'm pretty excited.
Something bugs me, though. If Vergil has indeed awakened his demon powers, why the hell would they need Dante for anything? Unless they made Vergil just enormously weaker than Dante. Which would be fucking stupid.lord.jeff said:Exactly a story explanation already exists, the white hair is a characteristic of Dante's demon side sense he's not fully awakened to his demonic powers it's not manifesting itself, it shows up when he's in devil trigger and may be permanent by the end of the game, I'm guessing Vergil starts the game more powerful and aware of his demonic side then Dante.
I don't know for certain but there are a dozen reasons both could be there, most likely because they thought even Vergil wouldn't be enough so they called in Dante for back up.Lord Beautiful said:Something bugs me, though.
