Oh wow, this looks great. Haven't paid much attention to it since the reveal trailer/pics but this looks fun.
Ok, game has my attention again. Still a few things I'm not sure of, and one thing I definitely don't like is his voice. Why ditch Reubon Langdon? Guy was awesome.
Looks a little slow but should be a fun game, I'll probably b-

I'm really excited for this. I love the aesthetic they're going for.
I can't quite put my finger on the reason why, but I love environments that shift and have odd perspectives (like the Scarecrow bits in Arkham Asylum or the cruise ship in Uncharted 3), and I love the words projected onto surfaces (like that one Splinter Cell game that I never played but looked super stylish.)
The combat looks great too, people (not me) were worried it'd be too simplified but it's looking promising. I'm pretty sure you can see similar combo inputs to the old DMC games, where pausing between button presses resulted in a different attack.
Anyway, I'm excited! Count me in.

This looks like another average Ninja Theory title-
They can't get combat right, so instead they pepper the game with some pretty visuals and platforming, and call it a day.
It would have been fine for another game, but for a combat-focused series such as DMC it will not work. Especially since it's capped at 30FPS.
I'll pass.

It looks pretty good as graphics and gameplay go, that said i still don't like twilight-may-cry Dante, *Kanye Shrug* deal with it.
@crimeminister what the fuck are you on about, that music is fucking awesome!!! Its fucking combichrist!!!! I now have one reason and one reason alone to buy the game, its soundtrack!
This has me so hard right now, please let there be a PC release like previous DMCs because I wouldn't even second thought buying it!
Coming from the perspective of someone who's never played a DMC game before, but has always been interested, I must say this look really good bar one major issue; the air combat. I know enough about DMC to know that air combat should not be that easy, and while it looks fun for an action game, it looks wrong for a DMC game.
Beyond that there's nothing that looks bad to me, I dig the new design if only because I've never digged the look of normal Dante; he;s just always looked contrived to me, like he was designed to appeal to every sense of cool possible, but feels empty because of it. The original design worked better in the anime, which I have watched, but from gameplay videos I've watched it just looked strange.
I love Reuben Langdon, but I've also never felt he was a great fit for Dante's voice, and this new guy actually sounds a LOT like Reuben at certain key points, particularly the end, which is awesome.
Also, the lack of a combo counter or meter in any way looks nice for the HUD-less look, but makes gameplay look monotonous and stale. Maybe it will feel good enough to satisfy, but if enemies each take a long time to kill then it could easily drag on.
And that's just my two-cents!

Lol at 55seconds in that scripted corridor putting fuck you dante how edgy man. Meh il go watch Inception for world bending infact I will now.
If this was branded as a new game with different characters I would probably be all over this. But since it's a reboot that kills the characters from the last 4 games (His name may be Dante but he is NOT Dante) I have only contempt for this game.
"The real crime here isn't how Dante looks, but that terrible music in the background."
Go play DMC3 again.
That kind of music is practically a series staple. I wouldn't have it any other way. It's ludicrous, and that's why it fits.

The first video was interesting, but the second one is what really blew me away. The concept of the environment changing to stop you from progressing is some petermolydeux voodoo. I just hope NT manages to deliver a quality experience. Enslaved looked like an amazing game, but it turned out to be only a pretty picture. The gameplay was pretty mediocre, lets hope DmC isn't the same way.
Peronally, I'm starting to think the newer Dante is cooler then the original one, seems more modern and normal, and less douchy and stuff. I think the stretching environments are a trip, and the music fits with that, I think the aerial combat is a bit too floaty right now, not as fluid. Still a work in progress though =) cant wait!
It's looking good, and it better with all the flake it was getting. Ninja Theory seems like it's going to deliver :D
@Gattling Combo: Enjoy your generic brooding teenager character.

See I can appreciate this Jim. You state your opinion and don't sound like you're attacking somebody for not liking what you like. Feels good man.
I personally am really enjoying the look, and while I still dislike the look of Dante, and still cannot stand Tameem, this is really starting to shape up nice. If they remember to add some replay value I feel like this really could be one of the best DMCs yet. Here is to hoping!

Much more interesting than a generic odd colored haired badass who's an on again off again homosexual. :l

LOL somebody has played any Devil May Cry games lately.
this looks to slow and the enemies seems to be more dumber than the previous games. no style changer, the attacks are slow and where are the stylish points and orbs???
even though this is only in the early stages it's definitely not on par with the past games(maybe Devil May Cry 2, but that's not saying much)

If you think its been too long since people had something to argue about Jim, you clearly haven't checked the comments on your latest Vita memory card post.
Also, this is looking good, which makes me feel all confused, given that Enslaved was the most disappointing 'press x to win' interactive narrative I experienced in the last few years. I had sworn after that to ignore whatever Ninja Theory did next.

I too feel for the music, and see no reason why they should keep it for tradition.
regardless I'm not interested in DMS, but this DOES look good.

Ninja Theory knows how to make a game look good in trailers, but HS and Enslaved were pretty unimpressive, and not nearly as good as the games they were knocking off...
But I can't really blame them for this one being "Derivative", it is the 5th game in the series.

Jim, granted we're mad and a little whiney about the take on Dante, but what if they made an Aliens game and the xenomorphs looked like the guy in this picture:
I'm hoping that this is an indication that it will be better than Enslaved. I was really looking forward to Enslaved, but it really disappointed me, especially with how buggy it was, and how half-assed the fighting system was.
I hope that DMC lives up to its name, and the action is actually as tight as I saw in the first trailer. Although it looks a little slow, it looks like there's a lot of combos and moves that chain together. I mean, I'd prefer if there was more of a combo-centric UI while he was fighting (I'm a big fan of the grading system during fights). If they can put that in, and the game isn't as buggy as Enslaved, I will buy DMC.
Oh, and it would be nice if they could get higher quality textures when it comes to the close ups on the character models. They look ugly as fuck in some of the close-up shots. When the action gets going though, things looks pretty nice with all the motion blur.

I know basically nothing about the DMC series, but this looks all kinds of rad. The facial animation looks fantastic, as do the crazy buildings. Even the voice acting sounds great.
Ugh... DMC+Frequent Platforming?
I'm all for variety, But DMC doesn't exactly fare well in the platforming department, and the jumping still looks pretty stiff.
Still Trying to grab your piece of the Uncharted Pie eh NT?

always makes me laugh that sterling ripped on the new duke nukem for portraying duke without irony, having him "played straight" as i think he put it.
yet here we have an example of the same thing. dante's over the top persona is now supposed to be super cool, which of course makes him look totally pathetic. yet jim fully supports this despite having talked about how much he loved the old dante and his OTT action hero semi-parody...

Do not like the grapple point particle fx. Really. That's my gripe, and I reckon it's legitimate. If I have to do that jump 20-50 times before I realize there is a nigh invisible goddamn "weak spot" in the platforming.. uh. I'll be angry? The grapple points just don't stand out to me and could be hard to notice.
