DmC

[Max Payne]

Bayonetta, That damn Van Hellsing game, plenty of action games have similar mechanics to DMC. Are they Devil May Cry?

No they're not. As I said earlier, a huge part of Devil May Cry is the style and the characters. Which obv have been drastically altered.

I wonder if, when they rebooted Star Trek, they had made Kirk look like how they've made Dante look, people would be calling outraged Trekkies fanboy whiners? (I understand you've redacted the 'whiners' comment, Kale, but you're not the only one to make it.)

The way they rebooted Star Trek IS an example of respecting the source material while making it something new. Given that, you know, its recognizable as Star Trek. And look at how well that was received.

I bring my mario comparison back up.

Look how people shit themselves over minor changes to Sonic's design man. People don't like it when their age old icons mutate into some newfangled marketing ploy.

Resident Evil 4 is a good example of doing something new and respecting the source material as well.

I'm being genuine.

And that's all you ever should be. Was anyone actually pissed off by what you said? Things got a little heated, but I know that when I post on TLS I intend no malice. Unless you're like... idk we all know those users that just post stupid things all the time.
inb4 someone says "Like you"

Why is this so terrible?

Because it looks terrible. I don't see what there is to be excited about. I mean if you want to be excited about it, by all means... But you've got to know that some of us that have been fans of it for a long time are going to question you. At least have some reasonable points as to why you feel the way you do, you know? I don't see anything good about these trailers. You might call our complaints whining, but the way you describe your point of view, and how others on the message board had a positive view, is like sweet denial. Having a positive view is a good thing and it's great that you have it but... I think you will be GREATLY disappointed in the end.

always thought the point of DMC was gameplay.

You make this point of DMC4's gameplay being stale. Dacon mentioned the repetetive parts of the game, which was also the only part that bothered me but it was still so much fun just like the rest of the games were. If you ask me, it's this trailer that looks stale, and not just this stupid design. The latest trailer showed us some fighting scenes, the weird DT (as we're assuming it is), and mentioning of the cool down of the guns. WHAT ABOUT THAT SOUNDS/LOOKS COOL

 

[ForceStealer]

Devil May Cry movie based on the new game.

Fuck you, Capcom.

 

[Tetsujin]

You're dead to me, Capcom.

Spoiler: And they've already found someone to play Dante

...

Between this and Resident Evil, can we officially say Capcom's worse than SE at this point?

 

[Celes Chere]

I really expected to see Robert Pattinson behind that tag.

 

[Max Payne]

I'm done.

That's it guys. Time to walk away.

Wait you're serious?

 

[Joker]

No.

It's FORCE.

 

[Mormz]

Won't it be worth playing if the story is good enough? ..won't it?....no? :sadmonster:

 

[Super Mario]

Ok DmC ended with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 with Dante down there. Sorry yo, DMC is finished after that. No games after that. No games after that. No MOVIE after that for that matter.

/madness mantra

Here is the link you tried posting.

Unfortunately, such petitions have a 0% success rate. But I must admit it's weird that if Capcom wanted to outsource Devil May Cry, why not go to Kamiya's studio? Yeah, I know, because they're stuck on this western developer thing. But if they thought DMC4 didn't do well enough (which it did), why not work with the guy that made the DMC that did very well?

And Ninja Theory is still a very odd choice of developer. Again, I'm one of the few that actually enjoyed Heavenly Sword (once I could get it on the cheap, anyway), but its still a bizarre choice.

How well did Bayonetta do, sales wise, by the way?

 

[Interslicery]

From what I understand Bayonetta got good reviews, but sold horribly.

Bayonetta sold over a million copies as of february last year.

That's selling horribly? Someone tell platinum because they thought it was a success. Enough so to want to do a second game.

 

[ForceStealer]

WELL DEVIL MAY CRY NEEDS TO SELL 5 MILLION, DAC, OR IT'S NOT SUCCESSFUL. DIDN'T YOU HEAR CAPCOM?!

Because Ninja Theory's previous games have flown off the shelves, y'know.

yeah, and were the pinnacle of their genre

This could actually go somewhere if enough people make some noise with this. DmC has gotten VERY little positive press or hype and if this snowballs, Capcom may have no choice but to take notice.

As long as the negative publicity keeps getting heaped onto this game, the petition has a chance

 

[ForceStealer]

The negative publicity probably has more of a chance than the petition, but either way that would be fantastic. I just don't see it.

Already I see lots of people with whom apparently ALL IS FORGIVEN because that short E3 trailer had gameplay that looked like Devil May Cry. Considering the first trailer was CG, who was talking about the gameplay in the first place? And then there's the high horse crowd calling everyone fanboys that can't take change and think white hair is the only problem.
But the combat looks nearly identical to Devil May Cry...so why wouldn't I just play DMC games in which Dante isn't a complete tool?

not even nearly identical bro.

It looks like there's more lag to the animations, and a lot of janky movements.

 

[ForceStealer]

Are there? I only watched it once. Well then what I said doubly applies. I guess you could chalk that up to early demo version, maybe? Obviously the gun cool-down isn't going away though...

Well I didnt exactly look into it. I dont really care how well games sell and thats what I heard.
