DMC's a reboot? A pre-quel? Wrong and wrong.

Now it turns out that the new DMC game takes place in one of the many multi-univereses of the world of the DMC series! And that the new Dante that looks like a junkie is another Dante and not the one that we all know. :shock:

Capcom/NT and their damage control... I haven't seen damage control like this since Sony/Guerrilla with the infamous CGI trailer of Killzone 2. Why they don't just say that this is a new game that is using the DMC name in hopes of capitalizing on the current fan-base and draw new ones with the new look since they are scared to death to put money toward a new IP? :lol:

You guys are overcomplicating this severely now and you're probably the reason they feel the need to adress this "issue" in the first place.

It's met with nerd-rage when it's a reboot and mockery when it's a spinoff.....

Not that Dante has'nt already appeared in multiverses before.....

The idea that DMC series features a rich universe with fleshed out lore and consistent quality has become a MEME that fuels the E-rageaholism of the modern hipster.

You guys should'nt judge, especially considering that half of you are responsible for bringing this back:

And as such your credibility is void.

Hilarious to see them flip-flop like this, but this is actually good news. Game will still turn out badly like every other NT game, but at least it's not dragging down the true Dante with it. =D

I really don't see how they are messing up dante, I mean dante is still dante. This is just a reboot/revision really.

Just call it a reboot and be done with it. Damn.

It might be good or it might suck, the story/universe/dimension is all second to the gameplay and if it turns out like **** then oh well. It'll just never exist. I'm still confused why they went from Devil May Cry to Devil May Cry 3. Shouldn't there of been a 2 in there?

I'd prefer a prequel...

You guys have that too? Oh lawd :lol:

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]Enslaved was actually pretty fantastic.Slashkice

I saw it as a lesson in how not to handle linearity in a game. When the gameplay wasn't holding your hand, it was just shallow. It's a flash over substance kind of game, except the flash isn't very compelling and it wears thin due to the underlying technical issues.

Their motion capture and voice work is nice at least.

You guys have that too? Oh lawd :lol:

Sadly yes :P It makes me feel old, cynical and bitter ;)

they must already know it sucks - or are anticipating it to flop...
pretty smart of them to prepare for the worst.

I'm not gunna lie though, I'm a sucker for anything hack-n-slash/action, so I'll still be getting it.

There really was no need of a "Reboot". They only did it just to follow a trend that has been happening in the Media World today.

Also if they kept Dante's look from the last 4 games I'm certain that no one would give a flip.

doesnt parralel universe mean opposite universe? if so then why isnt dante a nerd?

A more accurate explanation would be that the two universes exist in the same "space" but have no direct influence on eachother.

Even as big big fan of DMC I am going to be skipping this

I play Devil May Cry games for the combat system, not the character design, story, level design, etc.

Based on the videos on the newest game, I can't see it having as good of a combat system as 3 and 4. It looks too wooden when compared to the other preview videos for 3 and 4. It's not smooth enough.

That's my reason for doubting this game, not because of Dante's design.

They should just call it a reboot, and stop with with all the damage control. But I do have to wonder if Capcom will actually deveop a DMC5.

Gonna outscore DMC4.

Gonna outscore DMC4.

I can't help but think Capcom changed the story because of the horrific reboot outcry.

Yikes! Already backpeddling? That's always a good sign...

.. Am I the only one wish they would abandon this series for Megaman instead?sSubZerOo

Though it'd get passed better as a reboot,i'm kinda liking this idea!!!

Don't be negative,guys.

:/

This is going to be a great game, ive always been a fan of DMC, ever since i played it on playstation, sad to see a great series stolen by microsoft tho.WyteCollaCrim

Just like how Sony "stole" Metal Gear and Final Fantasy from Nintendo? Gotta love karma, huh? ;)

They need to just stop calling this Devil May Cry and make the combat better. The footage I saw looked like crap.

DMC what? like the DMC car from back to the future? whats are you guys talking about?

Capcom be damage controllin', because the fans be hatin'. Game still looks like s***, but I guess that's what happens when you hand an inconic series over to a third-rate developer in the hopes of more sales.

So yeah wow this is just, incredibly dumb and really killed all my interest in this game.

That works fine for me. That's the same way Lords of Shadow is being handled in regards to Castlevania canon, and that worked out just fine. Just think of this as a Marvel style "Ultimate" spinoff.RandoIph

As long it has nothing to do with the canon im fine.

Yea there are a few who have legitmite reasons why they hate this version of dmc since more gameplay vid has been shown,but most of the hate still comes from the characer design which is silly. Espcially when they say its not the same guy.

capcoms damage control at its finest nowdays they are focusing on making games appeal to what they believe western gamers like to much i have very little hope for this game but who knows maybe besides the horrible sounding story and dante odd angel powers there maybe a hidden gem [QUOTE="Animal-Mother"][QUOTE="Slashkice"]
