Sounds like Bayonetta syndrome

na no where near from what iv seen and heard. Only major difference in performance is in the cutscenes themselves 360 runs a bit smoother in that regard. It doesint really affect core gameplay.

[QUOTE="ninjapirate2000"] Haha Also IGN gave the ps3 version an 8.5 and 360 version an 8.9 O.ofinalfantasy94

Well, thats good to hear.

Damn PS3 multiplats.

I wonder how Metroid fans were when Nintendo announced Metroid Prime being developed by Retro Studios (when they were new and unproven developers) instead of Sakamoto?

RE4 got high praise and it kinda killed the series for me and some others but I still admit its still a good game on its own right. Just dont see why dmc guys cant do the same.

RE4 was a complete turnabout that embraced the action RE has always had. It then used some Mikami Special #9 to polish the game to the nth degree.

DmC is not a complete turnabout. It's a reboot that scrapped everything fans came to know and love from the series. It did the exact opposite of RE4. It would've helped so much if this was a new IP.

Should've renamed it Consoles Am Cry.

Its pretty hilarious that the lowest card on the card triple the frame frame of the consoles and is a higher resolution.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Maybe. But who knows? It could go on to be regarded as a classic of the genre. Stranger things have happened. DarkLink77

Im sorry dude its the same situation. I know you want it not to be cause you hate this dmc but it is. RE4 from pov of some RE fans got rid of some things limited ammo,atmospher. It basicly just change the camra and uped the action full blast. Though people still call it a good game in its own right which it is.

lol new DMC takes a shot at old Dante

This game in a nutshell.

Did the reviewer ever play dmc3? I really wonder.

Brad just gave it 5 stars.

To be fair, on paper, everything about Devil May Cry sounds like the tritest video game pap: a bloody war between angels and devils, endless hordes of demonic enemies straight from your favorite '80s heavy metal album art, and all of it punctuated by Scandinavian "hellektro" outfit Combichrist's thudding soundtrack. And then there's Dante, remade in the image of a club-kid layabout who's so sneeringly self-satisfied he defies any attempt you might make to identify with him. I pretty much went into the game consciously expecting to hate all of this, or at least view it as the sort of eye-rolling embarrassment video games are usually so good at delivering.

Then, oddly, I started feeling a guilty pleasure at how much I was actually enjoying the spectacle. Then later I gave up the guilt and just flung myself wholeheartedly into the cyclone of nonsense. I think it became easy to like Devil May Cry because it seems somewhat aware of itself; the game is so damncommittedto having fun with its absurdity, you can't help having fun along with it. Dante may be a smirking wiseass, but his lines are witty enough and delivered with so much panache, you quickly grow to like him anyway.Brad

Makes me want to rent it, at least. If someone who only played the first game loves it, maybe I could appreciate it too since I never gave a sh!t about any of those games.

Did the reviewer ever play dmc3? I really wonder.

ReadingRainbow4

Does it matter? DMC is a reboot, it's supposed to attract a new audience while appealing to the current one.

The fact that a simple hair change makes him look 100x better is pretty sad.

"oh,it's gonna suck"

"OH it's gonna flop"

"oh,Dante's so emo & gay"

>_> fanboys..

Well,you're finally proven wrong!

:D

I won't get it,but mostly because there's no Wii U version.

I'm happy i can rub it in on their faces,though.

Slashkice

It's not. RE4 switched from survival horror to action, but the end result is it ended up as the best third-person shooter around. If it gets any hate, it's because of the stylistic change, not because the mechanics aren't up to snuff. (though like champ, I disagree that the game lacked atmosphere)

DmC didn't switch genres. It's still a hack 'n slash except it doesn't reach the quality of the previous games.

Some can say RE4 isint as great as previous games in the series as you are saying DMC isint the same quality of previous games. How does that make the situation any different. Both games still changed but both still get recieved well at least criticaly wise.

Yea but isint one of the reasons DMC is being compared to older DMC games is well cause DMC is in the title. So RE4 follows the same path to be compared and judged because it shares the name of its previous outings. So it can be said it doesint go up to snuff with the other titles in its name in some arguments. Though judgeing it by its own merits its still a good game. Thats basicly what im trying to say here. Why cant DMC gamers do the same with this DMC and try to judge it by its own merits.

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Because with RE 4 you can make an argument that it changed genres. If you judge it as a horror game(ignoring my stance on the old RE games) fair enough it wouldn't hold up for a myriad of reasons. You judge it as an action game, and acknowledge that for all intents and purposes it is an action game(essentially the biggest complaint among the old RE guard), and its an excellent offering in that genre.

DMC4 to DMC is still going from a hack n slash to another hack n slash. It's still relatively the same games judged by the same genre standards and similar rulesets. I'd say it's more closer to comparing Halo Reach and Halo 4 than it is comparing Resident Evil Remake to Resident Evil 4

in this case it would be more like going from Counter Strike to Call of Duty. NT butchered that battle system and made it so casual is not even funny... No wonder people are liking it so much. People these days don't like games that require a little effort to learn before doing the awesome stuff.

Well, I'm not to sure if you get my point with that example since I don't play FPS but maybe should I change Counter Strike for Half-Life 2 or something?

Yea cant agree there. Especially compared to hearing a crisom head. Though I will say that spiky monster in RE4 was well done. It looked and sounded terrifying. Cant remember what its called though.

I just watched the review and I gotta say it looks a lot better than Enslaved. I think I might give this game a try sometime.

thats why bayonetta was recevied so badly...oh wait I mean dmc4 was recevied badly...oh wait. Come on man you know that statement is just a load and your just upset people are finding the game enjoyable.

That being said, I didn't expect a NT to top that lol, not in a million years the new DmC can be matched with DMC3 in term of combat department, but it should at least does some damage. In fact, Its combat doesn't even touch DMC4, let alone DMC3. The amount of journalists spouting BS about the amazing combat makes me sick.

This game is actually going to sell isn't it? :cry:Stringerboy

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"]

[QUOTE="rjdofu"] Because it's a hack & slash AND a DMC game, hence I has to be judged by DMC standard.rjdofu

I would understand if it was BS if they said it was deeper then lets say DMC3 but I havent ran into at all unless I missed something. Though calling it bs cause some reviews calling it slick,smooth and good in its own right seems a bit hostel.

[QUOTE="rjdofu"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] That's a semi stupid way to look at it. DMC 3 is an excellent hack n slash game, but it's kind of unfair to hold it against any game to live up to that battle system.

DMC 4 might play better mechanically than DMC, but get real the level design in that game was pretty f*cking terrible. Dante himself just as far as I'm concerned didn't have nearly the same depth he had in DMC 3, and Nero felt like a character they didn't go all the way with because they were too afraid to leave Dante out of the game. Game recycled considerably, and showed a lot of aging aspects of DMC. There is a reason Bayonetta got a lot more love for just how much fresher its level design ideas felt in comparison to how DMC does business. Because on very basic levels it might as well be DMC with a slut.

Not to say that you should lower your bar for the battle system, of course not. I agree I'm underwhelmed in that regard. But I think it's unfair to the idea that there might not be other good game ideas here. And in that sense I'm at least semi interested to see how far Ninja Theory has come as they've always felt like a dev who sucks at gameplay, but should progressively get better.
