Devil May Cry 5

Related to the above video. This DMCV meme happened back around the game's announcement:

Then at the PAX West DMCV after party, Itsuno was doing the dance along with everybody (the clip is a 3 second one without audio from Twitter with the music added, but the cheesy repetition makes it even better, imo).

There's a legit 5 minutes cutscene floating around youtube (and other sites), said cutscene has some major bombshells.

Dantes's battle theme. It's...not good.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

No..... no it's not. :\

EDIT: This perfectly sums up my thoughts / experience:

EDIT: Oh man, looks like Capcom apparently took down the original video completely. I wonder if this has anything to do with it:

Oh, gawd. Looks like this V character is borrowing from Genesis .

 

[Lulcielid]

Did they use Adan Driver for mocap?

Well, Capcom's officially stated that they've pulled the song and are working on figuring out what to do with Dante's Theme overall now:

“The music was recorded for the game before the incident came to light and we were unaware of the incident until now. However, as we are now aware of the current situation, Capcom has decided that moving forward, we will not further highlight the Dante battle theme for promotional purposes at this time. We are also currently evaluating what options are possible for the full game at this point, which is dependent on various factors such as resources.”

Even thought they didn't pull the song because listening the vocals was like being shot with a firehose full of broken glass, hopefully the added benefit is that we'll get something less completely garbage as a result. After all, insofar as I can tell, it seems like there's a possibility that the song might still be redeemable without lyrics:

If making a new song is out of reach then I wouldn't mind Dante sharing Devil Trigger with Nero.

Devil May Cry 5 Multiplayer Possibly Leaked By Online Listings

Lady looks so good I'm falling in love all over again.

 

[Ghost X]

The women haven't aged, but Dante has. Am I missing something?

 

[ForceStealer]

Well Trish is a fabricated demon/person by Mundus, so that makes some sense. Can't think of an excuse for Lady, though

 

[looneymoon]

Nero can pull my devil trigger if u know what I mean.

...

I wanna sit on his face.

 

[Tetsujin]

He doesn't look that much older imo. He just has stubble now, the grayness of which probably makes him look older than he is.

Japanese voice cast, a first for the series, since the first game it was always english dub only.

 

[Lulcielid]

Devil May Cry 5 Has Microtransactions For Character Upgrades.

And I don't give a damn about them.

 

[Ghost X]

@Tetsujin: Pretty sure Dante was a veeery young adult, possibly still in his teens, in DMC3, which was when Lady appeared, who looked to be about the same age as him.

 

[Blade]

I'm gonna say he looks like his DMC1 to DMC2 incarnation, which I'm not entirely used to, but it makes sense for the most part.

As for the Orbs = Money deal... I'm pretty sure he said that was optional and not required.

Farming has always been a thing in the DMC games, he's just giving people a headstart if they want to unlock stuff a bit for extra money.

IIRC Bayonetta had a similar deal, just most people ignored it.

 

[ForceStealer]

That still depends on whether the grind has been inflated for certain things so as to encourage you to pay money. Which would be bullshit, but why wouldn't they do that?

 

[Geostigma]

Regarding Dante looking older than Lady etc. It's worth noting this game takes place after DMC2 which does end with Dante getting trapped in Hell.
Perhaps time moves differently there, or being stuck in a realm where basically every one hates him and likely constantly fighting stressed him out

Lady and Dante are the same age as Virgil obviously, and he's Nero's father. They're both in their 40s now, Lady just wears it better.

 

[Joe]

Somehow missed the announcement about microtransactions amid a busy work week.


This is utter bullshit. It's getting less and less surprising that this bullshit is happening but it hurts that little bit more when it's a game you're excited about.

Force is dead right with what he said. We don't know if the grind or progression will be tweaked to encourage spending on red orbs. That's the price of having this in game from the beginning, we will never know how it impacts the finished product.
And yeah. Why wouldn't they do this? It's the same story with any company charging for anything in their game. It's there because they want you to pay for it. 'Player choice' and 'giving players a headstart' is utter shite.

We'll see if they backtrack before release but eh. Easier to do what Shadow of War did and make a year's worth of money off their model until sales drop, then cut out the microtransactions so they look better in the eyes of consumers.

 

[Geostigma]

Yeah its pretty BS.

I believe the director said it would be the same as in DMC4 , which if true would mean it doesn't affect the progression system at all (it had MTX but the game threw massive amounts of orbs at you that were in line with previous games).

However the only way to know if that statement is true is to probably buy/rent the game given reviewers track records (Aside from stuff like Jimquisition or TB, RIP) for totally downplaying or completely glossing over the impact of MTX in games.

Heres hoping the statement is true and it's not "that bad" but ooof its still a worrying trend at the end of the day.

Japanese voice cast, a first for the series, since the first game it was always english dub only.

for the games, the special edition version of dmc4 was technically the first but this is the first where it's there from outset. this seems to be becoming more common with games that traditionally only had english voices even in japan (resident evil has started having japanese voice tracks included or added later, bayonetta started out english-only but started having japanese voices too from the second game and retroactively added them for the first, that ps vita silent hill had japanese voices but silent hill is basically dead now).
