(My pessimistic, paranoid, gamer instincts predict annoying quick time events.)
This trailer is pretentious and the art direction is terrible. There's not a whole lot of hope here if you're looking to dissuade people from talking smack about the game.
What if they pull a twist on us and it turns out that Dante is actually a crazy person with delusions of grandeur? And he's imagining slaying demons, when he's really just slaying people?
Now THEN you'd be mad, heheheh.
Of course we can! I mean with their gigantic library of AAA games on the market like... like... Heavenly Sword! ...and ...and ...um ...Kung Fu Chaos! Yeah!
Wait. What?
I didn't realize you were Capcom.
I think the people publishing and making the games have a better idea about what is and isn't their game.
Developers don't owe you anything.
WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MAN?!!?!
DMC's fan base LOVES this character and is passionate as fuck about these games!!!
Devil may cry has been one of my favorite games for ages!! Don't try and write this off as something no one cares about!!
I'm not bitching about the game myself, I think it looks awesome! I'm a bit bitter about not having white hair on my dante as it's been one of the most defining characteristics of the character and franchise though, but seriously, this does look good.
But don't write Devil may cry off like that! To some of us, that IS hallowed ground!!
Granted, all we have is a trailer, so maybe the game will still work. But Dante isn't a scrawny ass kid, he's a man that makes crappy one-liners.
And as for Jim (who I usually agree with), this would be like taking Deadly Premonition and replacing Agent York with Marcus from Gears of War or Chris Redfield from RE5. Not quite as easy to shrug off when it's YOUR sacred cow, is it? It's stupid pandering to a "western crowd" ad is downright patronizing.
Older Dante is like an older smart(ass) guy, but he was pretty much more mature, this dante reminds me of an 1970s punk rocker with a idgaf attitude Which is cool. As for the hair maybe once he turns demon its white. Maybe he hasnt unlocked his full demon powers yet.
On the other hand, the gameplay of that video was pretty sweet. I wouldn't have a problem with this game if wasn't Devil May Cry and the main character was named something else.
Yes, IT IS about Ninja Theory making it. See, Capcom has perfected DMC's gameplay with 3 great games in 2 generations (I'm not considering DMC2, that's crap) and now leave it in the hands of Heavenly's Sword developers? A smashing button, unbalanced and NOT FUN TO PLAY game? It's not even called "DMC5", like it's not "official".
Yes, this is pretty much how I feel about Devil May Cry. Almost everything about this series is stupid and doesn't make any sense.
LMAO, I didn't see it before but your right!
As for the game, Ill give it a rent like I did the last one. Looks good, but Ive never been a huge devil may cry fan. I dont really care about the characters new look.
This is Just Awesome!.
Keep in mind that he has White hair in there ...go check it Out.
Maybe he is the old Dante and its not a reboot its simply a Prequel to the Prequel (DMC3)
where he is still not a fully Developed Demon and he didn't get fully bleached to White.
it think its Plausible that its him its the old Dante .
but if its a completely new Story i dont Care
He Looks Bad Ass and the Game will Kick ASS!
If dante was crying about his feelings, and always complaining then it would have been like wtf? But the fact that hes just an crazy teenager kicking ass is pretty cool.
Couldn't they just name him Tom or Carl? Also, can someone give thay poor guy some soup?
