Theory: Devil May Cry Reboot is Based in Purgatory

There is next to nothing out on the story thus far, but I do have a theory on what it could roughly be about. When I consider the trailer which makes mention of "Heaven and Hell," and the artwork which notes a place known as "Limbo City," I can only assume the story is set in purgatory.

It’s the DMC fans that are in Purgatory right now.

morventhus5718d ago

that statement made my day bubbles for you making a connection I didn't even notice.

Eamon5718d ago

you deserve a tasty bubble, my good Sir.

Baka-akaB5718d ago

the only devils in that story are capcom and ninja theory ...
And we are the ones crying

raztad5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

I dont care about how Dante looks provided it doesnt look like Bayonetta. Worst character ever.

However, gameplay is what got me worried. I hope the fast action combo based gameplay at 60fps survives this reboot otherwise, I'll be forced to play Bayonetta to get my DMC fix.

Eamon5718d ago

raztad, you probably joined in this gen or not but

we old DMC fans loved the series for its main character.

It's just not DMC without him.

raztad5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

"raztad, you probably joined in this gen or not "

Not exactly I was a former PC gamer only, but back in the PS2 days DMC3 was one of my biggest draw to the PS brand. Played both DMC3 (Special edition or something like that) and DMC1. Didnt bother with DMC4. Yeah Old Dante is cool and everything but sorry if I dont care.

cemelc5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

Well perhaps hell be progresing during the game to a more dante like character. I mean he has white in his hair, perhaps that will progress to a full white hair, same with the rest (i hope).

My take is Dante as a character doesnt need a reboot but plot wise the game needs it.

BTW just my opinion, no harm to anyone.

dredgewalker5718d ago

Good Lord...Capcom rename this monstrosity something else! This is not Dante! This is not Devil May Cry! This is not the character I played with since the PS2 days! Just rename it something else and we'll buy it, but make a real DMC game!

xAlmostPro5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

i dont see the issue here.. theres nothing wrong with a change? better than it being the exact same with different levels isnt it?.. this is bringing a new setting and style to the franchise..

and will attract alot of new fans.. ive never been a big fan of DMC i played abit of the 1st & 2nd.. but this seemed quite appealing to me :/.. i'll keep my eye out for it i think

Hey Ninja Theory Bring Back The OLD DANTE

chazjamie5718d ago

i am okay with this dante. it would of been so cool if the two brothers were killing demons in the trailer. Vergil can stick with his white hair, and dante can stick with the black.

oh my word it would be so awesome. they would both be so young, and probably hate on each other.

vickers5005718d ago

Stfu, it's because of people like you that beloved game franchises go to sh*t.

chazjamie5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

dude i said i am okay with the new dante. meaning i am content with it. if it was up to me i would of kept the new dante and resurrected vergil.

BUT ITS NOT UP TO ME. and how does the idea of dante and vergil kicking ass again not sound awesome.

dmc3 was the best in the series. and the only reason why i was interested in dmc4 was because nero might be related to vergil. but they didnt say anything. so it was nonsense. so NO ONE SAY THE STORY IS BAD, its not.

i am obsessed with dmc, i use to go to the devilslair.org. to learn how to jump cancel properly. i want dmc to stay with the younger dmc 3 dante. and this is probably going to be the closest it will get.

lastly do not get angry at me for their choices. i like dmc and i am excited that another one is coming out. they will probably change him, like sucker punch did with cole.

vickers5005718d ago

Maybe the stfu was a bit much, but still, the new EMO Dante just looks awful.

I can't think of a game where a character overhaul (while still calling it the original character)has ever been beneficial.

It's a bad idea, and a slap in the face to all of the original supporters.

mac_sparrow5718d ago

if you're hoping they'll listen to you like sucker punch did then may I join you in that hope. Don't think they will though, they'll be too busy whining about enslaved before too long.

Customer: "Hey, Heavenly Sword was pretty damn good but a little short. I'd have liked more of it."

Ninja Theory: "Oh there were so many things wrong with it, we didn't enjoy making it, we made no money off of it, and we shit on it every chance we get. Basically we think you're a moron for enjoying it. But please do buy Enslaved."

Customer (in this case me): "Ohhhhh Tescoooo Rennn-Taaaaaalllllll.

Fishy Fingers5718d ago

Make it just like the old games please. I dont want change to a franchise I like. Now I must find a COD thread to tell the sheep how lame they are for wanting the same game over and over.

Baka-akaB5718d ago

yeah lets revolutionize it and shake things up with the same dull western hack and slash gameplay we see all the time .

goosepoose5718d ago

name these hack and slash we see all the time.

wtf is wrong with you people. are all of you bitches. dante's face is stil there, its his hair that changed. bunch of fags crying over a hair cut. for what its worth there is white in his hair. right on top. ja and you right. its your semen.

disparage5718d ago

Well that would explain why he's all beat up. And is it just me or does the game seem a bit slow paced in the trailer?

Homicide5718d ago

Yeah it looked slow paced to me too. I hope this isn't another DMC2.

Longsama5718d ago

(looking at Dante's jacket) so apparently Dante's also British?

Bhai5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

its painted all over him... dirty old 18th century Britain, emo-guy the likes of which Jack the Ripper would snuff at. Today I understand why Jack the R was many a people's hero ;)

disparage5718d ago

I noticed that too. Guess an American flag would've been deemed "too western". (rolls eyes)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle13d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7713d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7722d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga22d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199221d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga21d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman21d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger21d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box22d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion21d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7222d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7521d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit21d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14922d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7722d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
