Devil May Cry: Interesting New Direction Or Total Flop?

Since the new Devil May Cry project from Ninja Theory was announced, there’s been a, how should I put this?.. Strongly worded debate, on the direction they’ve decided to take Dante in. Many fans were outraged that the Dante they grew up with was getting this gritty redesign and being made into a younger punk rock looking demon slayer who seems to be missing the characteristics that made Dante cool to begin with. Others sat back waiting for gameplay and a little more information before deciding if they should go along with the new game.

Think the DMC fans are being unreasonable. The game looks amazing, and the new direction was needed. DMC 1 2 3 were good games (some better than others), but a reboot was needed for sure. Compared to the stuff out there now, superior voice acting and more story driven gameplay were needed. The gameplay has always been good in DMC games, but the voice acting and story were ALWAYS a joke, no matter what anyone says, it was near horrible at times.

I welcome this reboot with open arms as a fan of the series.

Unreasonable?

It's a 30fps action game. If you WERE an actual DMC fan, you would know how much that impacts gameplay and overall responsiveness. Go play Lords of Shadow, Lollipop Chainsaw, Enslaved or Splatterhouse then go play DMC 1, 3, or 4, NG 1-2 or Bayonetta.

You should definetly do that, since you clearly have never played DMC, NG or Bayo, despite saying otherwise.

@frankfurt

yes, because before the 30fps announcment, the fans were totally satisfied with DmC /s

it could be 120 FPS and they will still complain.

MariaHelFutura5072d ago (Edited 5072d ago )

It'll probably be a decent game, but I have a feeling this isn't going to sell well. Purely based on the ammount of fans NT is pissing off.

sly-Famous5072d ago

Infamous2 is a great example of a game that was on its way to fail but because SPP listened to the fans it turned out to be a great success and history has shown us that not listening to the fans can be disastrous and I am afraid that DMC is headed for a fail.

Taz Yamauchi5072d ago

Totally agree with sly, look at what happened to Zipper Interactive when they made Socom Of Duty despite the outcry of their fans

dark-hollow5072d ago

"history has shown us that not listening to the fans can be disastrous"

wind waker says hi!

Wonder how so many talented studios disappear, yet Ninja Theory is still a thing????

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro159d ago

Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.

Christopher158d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain158d ago (Edited 158d ago )

If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.

It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .

blacktiger158d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro158d ago

Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .

VersusDMC158d ago

Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.

And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.
