"it maybe a fair assessment."

They released more than enough media to give us enough reason to hate the game. It's not better than 4 and certainly not better than 1-3. Hell, it looks like it's going to be worse than the demonspawn that was DMC 2. Oh and, Keza McDonald is a clown, parading as an intelligent "gaming journalist" as she demonstrated it more than enough times with her reviews.

"It’s a pleasure to see DmC’s now fully-fledged combat system in action. It is balletic, rhythmic, subtle and satisfying, and as you play through and unlock more moves for sword, guns, axe and scythe your combos naturally become more varied and elegant."

So, a DMC game that's running at 30FPS and has slowed down combat concealed with BS "cool" looking finisher moves and other crap happening in slow mo (devil trigger is now bullet time) with no lock on and no jump cancelling has a "fully-fledged" combat system.

Keza Mcdonald everybody! Who is certainly not a paid "journalist".

So blacktric

Based on gameplay videos you hate it?? That makes sense I suppose. But it really doesn't. If you don't like the look fine but every single person that has played it has praised it. Saying that the combat is solid if not better than the previous. It looks leaps and bounds better than four. Four was a joke after you started playing as Dante. It's like they got lazy. All they did was make you backtrack with a character who wasn't as good as Nero. It was boring.

I really don't know why everyone has there mind set in hating this game. It looks great and seems to play even better, why not wait until it comes out to form your hate?

@blacktric
No lock on? Wth, seriously?!

Just that the last DMC game release which was dmc4 was released in 2008, she did however reference dmc3 as the best in the series and that is true. And I'm pretty sure that those who do play the demo tomorrow will walk away with a different opinion. The ones who bash it and will hate it regardless of what they play will come here and troll it after everyone else likes it.

@Sevir
"– the best game in the series since 2008’s Devil May Cry 3."
Yes, she did.

*sigh* there have been very numerous demos, interviews, and other such things. People with no experience in Devil May Cry in the demos were getting S ranks by mashing 1 button which is not even close to the other games. ALL the character designs and "new" personalities are terrible and NT isn't really reliable in making good functioning games. All the argument made by actual DMC fans are very valid, not just "the haiiiir". If you have a hard time observing demos, and interviews and looking at history that isn't a problem but don't say people who can do these things to make very educated observations are unknowingly bashing.

I personally hope this vision doesn't become DMC's future.

That's a bad excuse and not a surprising one . Mechanics wont change with an increase of the difficulty .

It's to easy for people to claim that noticeable stuff arent , till you play on hard or whatever .

Besides by now , why are people assuming only the positive folks are the one that tried the game ? By now a few had the chance to try it and give their feedback

And aren't shy about admitting it. There are plenty plenty videos to show off the combat system and they can formulate an opinion on looks but looks only go so damn far. After playing the game at comic con in NYC last month, opinions of this game lie squarley in line with the editors who have played this game. DmC at this point has nothing to prove and those who haven't played it but hate the game vehemently, hate it off looks and cosmetic changes to a franchise that has not aged gracefully, which is why people bitched about DMC4 even though that was a pretty good game in itself.

There is no point with me arguging with you here and vice versa . Some of us tried the game and werent convinced , while the press was sold on the game before they even saw the gameplay .

I wont care for their opinion . I've seen what they know and think about most games and devil may cry titles , i've seen their numerous crap and errors in reviews , and i've seen them constantly hype NT games with them still crashing burning and failing . They are irrelevant .

"a franchise that has not aged gracefully, which is why people bitched about DMC4 even though that was a pretty good game in itself. "

Pure B.S . People complained already about a new unfitting hero , and a game that was already more of the same only worse that's all .

"DmC 2013" is doing the same only further in the alienating process , with the dumbification of the gameplay as a bonus .

Besides like said multiple times , it was a case of either keeping the dmc4 formula or going toward DmC . There were plenty valid roads and option n between that would keep the core intact . They didnt , and opened the can of worms they deserve .

I'm pretty much done here in this thread , it will just be a constant rinse and repeat till we run out of bubbles
