Danteh5719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

Fuck yeah the franchise which make me buy a PS2 rebooted!!!!!!!!!!

I still remember when I went to some shop to try that cool new PS2 game which combined sword and guns to make insane combos and kill fucking scary puppets.

I had never tried something like that before.

Although I had been a Nintendo fanboy my whole life, I just begged to my parents till they bought me a PS2 and I went over to the dark side :P

Edit: still, after watching the trailer, WTF IS DANTE DOING WITHOUR WHITE HAIR AND WHY ARE HIS MOVEMENTS SO GAY???? SHIIIT -_-

nveenio5719d ago

As someone who has never had any interest in the DMC series (and hated the demo of 4), I have to say that trailer actually made me want to play the game. And, even if some of you say he looks 'gay', he could still kick your ass...so that makes him alright in my book.

rockleex5719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

Sorry but Dante was already one of the coolest and most awesome characters ever in a video game, and he doesn't even smoke.

Just because they failed with Nero in DMC4 doesn't mean they need to change Dante.

What kind of retard decided that the lively and charming Dante needed to be changed? Why do you think people love Johnny Depp?

We want DANTE! Not someone else trying to live up to his name, nor his game!

I have to ask the question. Why are Japanese devs so intent on screwing over their fanbase to target some audience that DOES NOT GIVE A F*CK about them?

Reibooi5719d ago

That was terrible......

Sure the action looked pretty cool but aside from that it didn't feel like DMC AT ALL. Why even call it that? If they named it something else no one would ever think it was supposed to be a DMC game.

Honestly I know it's supposed to be a Reboot(which the franchise didn't need) But they didn't need to change the way Dante looks. He looks like crap. Dante is a iconic looking character design and changing him for no reason is utterly retarded.

bjornbear5719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

so...Westernized and cheap...maybe the gameplay will be great, but to change the image of a great franchise after 3 great games = sad.

they should have just made it a new IP....

DMC Franchise = reCYCLED...and dead to me...and I LOVED the 1st and 3rd dearly...='(

fallingdove5719d ago

Devil May Cry used to be one of my favorite franchises. Unsurprisingly, Ninja Theory have ruined Dante. Almost as much as the horrible character design, I am concerned that this game is being handled by a company that has said a few times that Story is more important than gameplay. Thanks for nothing Ninja Theory you are a black mark on the video game medium.

ABizzel15719d ago

I don't see the problem besides the new character model. The series needed a reboot. It was going downhill after DMC 5.

Dante was way over powered and Nero was a crybaby. The new character looks a little awkward (his in game design doesn't look as good as the concept art), but other than that the game looks pretty good.

I can't believe people are really in love with a digital avatar. Do you really want to play with Dante's sword and Ebony and Ivory that bad.

Commander_TK5719d ago

*Yawn*. DMC died after that piece of shit known as Devil May Cry 4

Millah5718d ago

WTF has gotten into Jap publishers this gen? Seriously. Get your shit together Japan. You guys used to create the best and most original, influential games in the industry. What happened?

HammockGames5718d ago

I'm not planning on pre-ordering any of their games in the near future.

They've stopped innovating, and they've stopped listening to their fan base. So what appeal is left?

The only novel thing they've really introduced this gen was Dead Rising. I had high hopes for DR2, but with Capcom's recent history I'm almost expecting to be disappointed...

I'm still pissed at them for the internet sign-on required for Final Fight. What a jackass move that was.

webeblazing5718d ago

capcom proved all the post i made against them this is some BS. i didnt want to be right but yea new SE here this is the beginning. look like weaker combat system, graphics dont look better then dmc4 ( dont bash cause was mp), char design is corny like all they new games ( how can you mess up SF char design, and marvel chars. marvel char is the easiest things to draw).

THIS IS THE NEW CAPCOM..... NEEEXXXT!!!!

our voice need to be herd jus make a new game if you wanna try something new. times is hard lets reward devs that love they craft forget pub telling them to make dumb games. they make alot (pub) reward devs for making something new or refreshing.

BISHOP-BRASIL5718d ago

I just opened the GamingVault link (orignal one wasn't working for me) and right next to the first image was an stupid ad with some Twilight quiz... I couldn't stop laughing at it for 4 minutes. LOL

Now seriously, what where they thinking? The Original DMC was the great one, the second one was mediocre, the third one was good again but not thanks to stupid young Dante and his smartass attitude. DMC4 was crap again thanks to annoying Nero kid... If there were one thing they should have learned was that we don't want a newer Dante, a cooler Dante... He was cool out of his badassary, as he would deal with it all with a grim smile on his face, not becuase he fashion synthony or what he listens in his iPod, we don't want to hear crap teenager vocabulary on the dialogues all the time...

So what they come with? An emo kid that is some kind of subject, not even a half-demon anymore, and a grafiti logo. Thank you Capcom, but I think I'll pass. Already bought DMC4 and RE5 this gen... Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...

PS: NT is on a roll! They are just releasing Enslaved, which most of us agree don't even look that interesting, but they are already signed for Ni-oh from Koei and DmC from Capcom, what are those Japanese publishers thinking? Or was the Ni-oh being developed by NT only a rumour?

MurderMyDoll5719d ago

guys relax. the new Dante will just take some warming up too I love the old Dante but I for one am insanely excited cause you know what ITS THE GAMEPLAY THAT MATTERS and we have a new Devil May Cry. The franchise is gonna be renewed and fresh and hell you don't know how the games gonna pan out could be a prequel ending with Dante slowly becoming the one we know and love or maybe this is his son or whatever so don't hate on a game for a two minute trailer it looks insanely awesome so like just be happy guys

EYEamNUMBER15719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

we shouldn't have to warm up to a new dante when the old one was VERY liked and unfinished

you have to remember as its been said so many times in here this game is going to have a WESTERN FEEL to it capcom was making a big deal out of it meaning things wont be the same

also you have to remember this is a TOTAL REBOOT of the series so it means this DMC will have nothing to do with the rest technically speaking

i for one am not looking forward to this at all because if it was just only about the gameplay then id just go play bayonetta

Could he be more emo?

I don't see where they're going with this reboot personally. Need to see the story behind it before I say whether it's a good or bad idea.

Trailer didn't impress with the whole "I, Robot" killing spree and that was about all it had that one could draw any conclusions off of.

Dannagar5719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

This game trailer is Aweful!!! Why would Capcom give us this. I didn't ask for a girly, petite, Emo Dante. I didn't ask for the whinny Nero either. What was wrong with the Bad ASS Dante of days long since past?

Drebin 9285718d ago

Do all you complainers seriously want the developers to never change things up? I like it when series that have been doing things pretty much the same way over and over reboot and try new things. If you give it a chance, you may actually find the game more compelling and Dante 2.0 an all around more interesting character, than the cocky, wise cracking, 1 dimensional Dante we're used to. After playing through the forgettable experience that was DMC4, I think this reboot looks a lot more interesting. Here's hoping they improve the cheesy dialogue and the fight music too.

Bottom line: Don't be prejudice because it's different. Let the actual GAME speak for it self.

RememberThe3575718d ago

This is not about the game being good, it's about the game being DMC. Dante is/was the most badass yet cool ass character I've played with.

You seem to be more interested in troubled teens then myself but don't expect us to be to share your opinion.

I actually have no doubt that this game is going to be awesome gameplay wise. I don't like the direction they have taken on of my favorite characters. And frankly, I'm going to speak out against it.

Drebin 9285718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

I suppose I'm just not nearly as concerned with the actual appearance of the main character, as I am with all the other aspects of the game, such as (hopefully) improved story/ writing, music, and gameplay (and better visuals are always a plus).

I just hate to see a game ripped to shreds over a 2min trailer with no gameplay. Especially, when I believe Ninja Theory is gonna deliver an exceptional game just as they have done in the past.

-Judge_Fudge5718d ago

if it aint broke dont fix it---dantes look wasnt the thing thats wrong with the game so why should capcom fix it?

cy-anide5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

anyone that is taking the d!ck that capcom is shoving up their ass obviously are not die hard DMC fans. this new dante is sh!t and the trailer is sh!t . despite the reviews DMC4 got which IMO wasnt even that bad of a game this looks like sh!t. this is what happens when japanese developers give in to the ultimately gay western gaming. cmon halo reach 10/10 and now this gay as stunt. capcom is going to regret this decision. i dont know why the hell they assumed people would not want to blow up their offices after seeing such a shitty reboot. id rather be sentenced to play DMC2 for eternity than see this new DMC see the light of day. no sword ? seriously cigs? gay americanized look? where is the DMC we all know and love. japan needs to say fuck the west and needs to continue to make their own games. this is the reason why genres are dyeing. i forgot westerners just like cig smoking fags that shoot shit.

Drebin 9285718d ago

I just found this rather disturbing post in a forum as to why Dante looks the way he does...

[Rayge said: I know the story as to why Dante looks like that. Once upon a time there was a lead designer by the name of Tameem Antoniades who worked for a company by the name of Ninja Theory. One day Ninja Theory got the contract to make the next DMC and stuck Tameem Antoniades on the development team. Due to him being vain, conceited, and arrogant he decided to make Dante into HIS likeness because he thinks that he's that awesome.]

"Western" does not need to mean making Dante an English angst teen rebel.

This guy looks and acts like a little bitch you see on BBC, not the Dante we have known for years. I don't want to play as him or really even see him again. This is so disappointing for me as a Devil May Cray fan, I'm having a hard time putting it into words.

Since when was Dante a f*cking emo?

CimmerianDrake5718d ago

Bubbles for the lulz.

As soon as you said "This guy looks and acts like a little bitch you see on BBC" I was cracking up. Thanks, I needed the laugh today.

vickers5005719d ago (Edited 5719d ago )

I only played Devil May Cry 4, so I have no personal investment into the Dante character, yet even for me, this trailer and the character was painful for me to watch.

I for one, am not getting this.

I'm 19 years old and live in the U.S., and haven't played a DMC before. I'm pretty much their target audience (excluding the pre-tween twilight emo bullsh*t), and I'm not getting it. That should say something about how much they've f*cked up. When I saw the headline of the article, I thought to myself "F*cking awesome, now I'll get to play a classic, very well respected franchise with a new astonishing coat of next gen graphical paint, and perhaps some gameplay improvements". I was excited... until I saw the screen shots, then later, the trailer. F*ck this game, Capcom needs to learn to not f*ck with their fans (even though I cant consider myself a fan of DMC having only played the 4th, I can understand the pain of the actual fans), and needs to be boycotted.

clank5435719d ago

@vickers; I'm the same age you are here in the U.S. and this is not appealing to me at all. I'm guessing that they watched the twilight movies and said to themselves thats what a western audience wanted. I haven't trusted Ninja Theory since they complained so much about developing Heavenly Sword and how hard it was on the ps3, and this just gives me another reason to hate Ninja Theory.

wazzim5719d ago

We didn't ask for a reboot...

chazjamie5719d ago

they should of concluded dantes story before they did this. i know dante doesnt have a story (such as mgs or gow), but a reboot after his story would makes sense. this was out of the blue. and i never heard anyone asking for one, i heard complaints about dmc 4 but never to the point that they should start all over again. and by doing so, starting with the protaganist.

i am excited that a dmc is coming out. now we just wait.

CimmerianDrake5718d ago

The only big complaints people had about DMC4 was Nero and the laziness of the level/boss design. Combat was great, music was meh, story was lame because of Nero. But seriously, to play 4 levels forward with Nero, then play THE SAME G.D. LEVELS IN REVERSE WITH DANTE, fighting the same stupid bosses with a color swap, it just reeked of laziness.

LordStig5719d ago

Read the press release, they are changing DMC's gameplay, look, setting....basically EVERYTHING.. that you don't like it or agree with it..doesn't mean they ain't doing new stuff with DMC.

ill say it again where is the evolution your talking about because nothing in that trailer showed any of that

the only thing i see changing is the gameplay and it wont be evolution capcom already said this game will have a western feel to it
for a DMC game that doesn't sound like evolution

i don't even like bayonetta but that is more evolution that DMC will be getting

yup because that western feel the game is gonna have is just gonna be so evolutionary

dredgewalker5718d ago

@N4ps3g

If they changed everything then what's the point in calling this game DMC? This ain't DMC and that thing ain't Dante. Capcom might as well give this game another name! Would MGS fans love a remake and have Emo Snake!?! Would Halo fans love an Emo Chief!?! You obviously are not a fan of DMC so it's okay for you to have Dante turn into something else.

Christopher5719d ago

I'm not saying the old Dante wasn't emo, but it's like they wanted to go 100% emo just to make sure we knew he was emo or something with the reboot.

Last time I checked, Westerners didn't really go for emo. Goth w/Vampires, yes, but not emo. So, if they did a reboot for Westerners, they went in the wrong direction.

old Dante was supposed to be the japanese rockstar type.

Long hair isn't gay and emo. And Dante was never emo. Almost the opposite.

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

StoneColdCrazy48d ago

That’s what happens when you start shutting down your own studios and forget what actually made you matter in the industry in the first place. Sony used to set the standard — now it feels like they’ve lost that identity. And if they decide to walk away from the PC market too, that’s going to be another huge mistake — that platform is only growing, and ignoring it now would just put them even further behind.

1Victor48d ago

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Christopher48d ago

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

I don't wanna speak for Christopher, but like most of us we recognize that Sony's output this Gen has been way below their own standards.

Also Sony did buy a fair amount of Devs, I know you will say they were not publishers, and don't compare in size, but they had their fair share of Aquisitions, including the very well established Bungie.

The overall point is with their stellar first party track record of the past, they should not be going down, they are singled out because they are some of the best videogame devs/publisher on the planet...no matter what reasons we attribute to the situation, they are moving in the wrong direction... period.

Its widely accept that Sony this generation has been underwhelming. We've had more peripheral releases, controller variants, PS5 accessories than games it feels like. The exclusives were also PS4 and what little output they have put exclusively on PS5 is nowhere near as memorable as what came in every generation before that.

This isn't a Sony hate post but anyone who's older and has been around for a long time gaming will agree that PS5 is by far Sony's worst generation. As much as Xbox is in the gutter, I pray the do bounce back in the hope we get Sony to wake up again.

If you want to critique MS... you are doing so towards their management. The games output and their hardware have been much better than PS this gen. Sadly... people still hold a grudge against XB because of MS. Thankfully i am not that petty... I've been enjoying their games output in the drought of PS. And add in some NS1/2 games as well to balance things out. Things will change for me once Wolverine hits, and I start using my 5 more. That one I'm looking forward to. And the Marvel fighter... I'm not a GTA player so that has no bearing on my view of things.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Well I apologize I was wrong about not doing worse but my statement of Microsoft getting a boost still stand 🤷🏿

Well OBSCURED unlike you I’m honorable enough to recognize when I’m wrong and apologize.

@ The software you know there’s no comparison between what Microsoft acquired and what Sony acquired that’s why you tried to get ahead of the conversation, yes we all know Sony can do better than what they have done this gen but they inhaled the poison GAS they thought would bring money for years but we make sure they got the message and quite a few games got cancelled you know as well a hit like that take years to be corrected and by now they hopefully will have taken steps away from the GAS and slowed their approach to them.

You will say anything when you are in denial that your hardware is dead and nobody wants your platform. Good luck with Helix because nobody will buy it.

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher48d ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.

Capcom Insists It Won't Use AI-Generated Assets in Its Games, Will Harness Tech during Development

Capcom has clarified its current stance on generative AI in its videogames. The major Japanese publisher and developer behind popular series like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter has revealed that while it doesn't use gen-AI assets in their games, it is exploring ways to use generative AI to streamline the game development process.

Using Artificial Intelligence (more like Realistic Stupidity) art assets in your games is a great way to get people to boycott your product. We don't need that ugly, unsophisticated, generic, fake art in our games, good on CAPCOM for not using that garbage.

Naw you can't fool us, You work with Nvidia, that's a fact! And here you wanted to advertise but now look stupid!
