Can't wait to give the demo a try - I hope I enjoy it!

No PC of course...

It's funny...I can't shake the feeling that this new reboot looks great! I for one like the new look....it's basicly emp-rock version. Where as the earlier Dante is heavy metal rock version. So I see what they did there.

Gameplay looks similar but emphasis on more air combat. That's cool. Story is reworked...that's disappointing but I have faith ninja theory know their story telling.

I've prepaid my copy already.

-I've played every devil may cry. I even like dmc2...if you felt like dante wasn't himself....he's in his late 40's and his spirit has been beaten down. If you can finish the game...you get to see the young Dante come out. The smirk on his fade is classic.

But it was massively repetitive. And had little of the humor people wanted.

well,i for one welcome change .. if everything stayed the same in every game it would be boring and console gaming would of killed itself off a looong time ago.. :)-

Hey there. As stated, there are many reasons besides the popular "Dante's look change" that is everywhere on the net. My personal gripe is more geared towards the direction of the game. They left many holes after DMC 4. The addition of Nero added a new question to the story. Is he Dante and Virgil's relative? if so then how is he related? With this new DMC, those question won't be answered. This story is suppose to be set in an alternate reality as it was stated months ago due to the backlash. So now you have a Dante who isn't human any more. He is an angel/demon hybrid. This alone changed the dynamics of him because as we fans all know, the original was a demon/human hybrid. I respect anyone's decision to buy the game because it's your money and your preference. I just want ppl to understand that not every fan who has issues with this game is solely based on his look. That is just usually what many ppl commenting on many site and journalist prefer to focus on because either they read that this is the cause or they choose to ignore the other reasons because they want to be confrontational on the issue or whatever their true motivation may be. Enjoy what ever game you feel like purchasing with your money.

i think everyone has to learn that people have different opinions...
everytime there is a dmc article... we go through the same arguments.

Before all of you who kisses Ninja theory's ass and PORTRAY deliberatly Ninja theory as great developers of video GAMES read this:

1) Capcom gave lesson on how to make DMC gameplay to Ninja theory.

2) They have supervised the DmC project
3) They also helped (yes helped) Ninja theory developers with gameplay of DmC. In MANY interviews the gameplay cooperation where Capcom developer and Ninja theory developer work together to shape the gameplay is described as CLOSE AND INTENSE. Meaning Ninja theory hasn't been making this gameplay by themself.

4) Everything by DMC has been INVENTED - that is developed for first time by tons of other people that aren't Ninja theory. Character and foundation story of DMC (Demons vs world and Dante) was created by Hideki Kamiya.

The fast paced and unique gameplay concepts was developed by Hideki Kamiya + Capcom. Attacks such as Stinger, Million stab etc, and the chain comboing. All of that is thanks to Hideki Kamiya and Capcom. NOT Ninja theory.

Credit is due where credit is deserved:
Motion capture is Ninja theory's work. So is the audio etc.

But when it comes to DmC's story it seems Ninja theory team has been ripping off V for Vendeta and They Live, and mixed those movie's plots with DMC's plot.

SO TO SAY that Ninja theory has created a good video game or a solid game is crediting Ninja theory to much. As i pointed out above why.
Their task was to make a "great story DMC" because they are great at storyTELLING. Personally i think their job on story so far is mediocre. Motion capture is only think that's worth mentioning. But good graphics doesn't equal a good game because a good gameplay equals a good game. Games like Pacman, Alien Invaders etc. Those were the purest form of games before the story aspect came to games because people liked mix of interaction (games) + movie.

But if you move away from what videogames is about you will draw closer to what is called A MOVIE, which is what Ninja theory is more of a movie/animation studio than actual great developers. They even went to Hollywood with Enslaved movie concept:

They got rejected.

Even their philosphy is messed up "Elevate games so that it can compete with literature and movies" - why? There are books (good stories), there are movies (more visual + good stories), and then there are video games (interaction). You can try to attempt to mix all three and make a great "melting pot", but if your philosphy is to compete with movies and literature stories then you have wrong goals.

And the funny thing of all things is that certain people or sites refer to DmC as "Ninja theory's " - as in their game. It's simply Capcoms and this person in this article gets it.

Ninja theory was handed DMC and got lucky.
Their job is to recycle the gameplay of DMC, with tweaks of their own (that probably won't matter much), and a "fresh" new look with realistical art instead of anime like. To make the game look "OMG this is ground breaking!", even though it's probably just a new skin with equal to or lesser gameplay of DMC 3/4.

Their primary task was to fix DMC's story. But instead they overwrote it with permission of Capcom. They didn't expand on DMC story, but overwrote it by creating a new "parallel" story (which btw is bullshit corporate term for CHANGing stuff).

And i have to say that the story so far...is anything but good. It's really pathetic to be honest.
