Ninja Theory's Take on Devil May Cry (

I enjoyed Heavenly Sword and would love a sequel so hopefully this can be good. If Capcom wanted to bring DMC back from the "dead" as quoted by the TC then it should have went to platinum games who have the genre defining game in Bayonetta.

The story is a prequel right?

I think at some point Dante will meet up with someone or something that takes him from emo form and he kind of grows up and turns into the arrogant prick he was in the first game. Which would be awesome, and totally unexpected, and lets face it it won't happen.

I agree it hadnt died, I was just quoting the topic creator! I think he does have a point though that it needed a reboot of some description though as games like Bayonetta have surpassed it. If Ninja Theory are the best developers for the series, remains to be seen but I think they should be given a chance. I personally would have liked to seen Platinum games reboot this, and I think the original DMC creator is studio head there.

both of you are wrong. First, a reboot can't be a prequel and they always referred to it as a reboot until they started the damage control. That is when they started with the pre-quel BS. Second, in DMC3 was when Dante first discovered his powers and in the reboot's gameplay trailers he already can activate the devil trigger. And third, the Dante of the original series was the son of a demon and a human so he was half human but in the reboot Dante is the son of a demon and an angel so he's not even human anymore...

When the game was first announced both he and Alaex Jones (Capcom) both said the game would serve as a prequel as well as a reboot.

Well now they finally admit that it's not canon.

Tameen from NT says"It doesn't take place chronologically before or after the other games" regarding DmC.

Best to avoid this game and just wait for DMC5 which should start development once Capcom finishes the craptastic Dragon's Dogma. I would have much preferred if they gave a new IP like DD to NT whilst they work on DMC5 in-house.

Didn't people enjoy DMC4? I mean it was awful or anything... at least on the DmC scale.aaronmullan

On the basis that I loved both Heavenly Sword and Enslaved, I'm willing to give this a shot. I just don't see Ninja Theory having the ability to develop a deep combat system. I thought Enslaved's combat was decent, and Heavenly Sword's excellent, but neither was deep like a DMC game supposedly entails. We'll see.

I don't know why people are freaking out so much about new Dante, I never played DMC for it's story or characters, I played it to kill demons in the most over the top way with impossible weapons.Shrabsters

it's not even 30 fps.

it's Ninja Theory 30 fps.

which, in the real world, actually means 15 fps.

there you go.

Dante was a big part of what made DMC what it was (besides the addicting/challenging gameplay and intriguing storyline). I'm not going to buy this game expecting to fight Jacob as the final boss.

I actually think Heavenly Sword was a good game and Ninja Theory isn't a particularly bad developer...but this "new" DmC just doesn't look good...AT ALL. The Devil May Cry series didn't need rebooting...all it needed is for Capcom to stop backtracking the storyline and just pick off from where Devil May Cry 2 left off! It just looks like another hack n' slash game and Ninja Theory was given the rights to slap the DmC name on it to make it sell.

I don't think Capcom should acknowledge DMC2 at all, the fans dont. I mean DMC2 didn't even start off as a DMC game, it happened half way through development. As far as I am concerned DMC2 and DmC are putrid filth, both have nothing do to with the canon established in the 3 games and books.

To be honest, I didn't really mind the new design for Dante. What I am angry about is the new game's play style. In the first demonstration, I saw air combos that lasted for 10 seconds -- that would just scream "HIT ME" to enemies the older, real DMC games. It looks like it's going to be watered down to the point where you just enter in dial-up combos rather than using timing, distance, and reaction along with a moveset to creat your own combos. That, to me, is the disappointing part.

They should get an S rank on every mission on Dante Must Die mode in DMC3 so they get a better picture of DMC's playstyle.

Well I meant everything just from a cronological point of view since the storyline goes: DMC 3 - DMC 1 - DMC 4 - DMC 2 (which is ironically the exact order in which I like the games). Even though I would like to know Lucia's fate...
