Was I watching what everyone else saw?
The game looked amazing. I just don't understand.

Quagmire5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

Fangirls will be fangirls. They will pass on this game based solely on the fact that A: Ninja Theory are "allegedly" assholes, and B: That is NOT Dante.

For the record, if people would actually READ the bloody articles, it was CAPCOM's decision to change his appearance, NOT Ninja Theory's. Capcom wanted a redesign, NT did what they were told, and Capcom liked it so they went with it.

If Capcom wanted to keep the same appearance, NT wouldve have kept him the same.

If there is ANYONE to blame, its Capcom, not Ninja Theory. Say what you will about Heavenly Sword 2 and Enslaved, however I found them to be brilliant games, and I have no doubt NT will deliver again with DmC.

Ghost2505463d ago

yeah right enslaved sucked, repetitive combat, mediocre graphics, story was stupid as crap (especially the ending, MY GOD what the hell were they thinking). last time i check there is no such thing as an Heavenly sword 2.

LastDance5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

Having just looked at the E3 gameplay trailer - my thoughts were; Graphics were very poor and the art design and colours were BLAND BLAND BLAND - nothing stood out for me.

watch the trailer again and compare it to any other game from this generation - it looks bland like, Golden Axe Beast Rider bland.

Edit: I dont even like DMC games that much but that trailer even upset me.

sikbeta5463d ago

@Quagmire

I do blame Capcom, why the hell they give their IPs to other Devs in first place?

And about NT, Heavenly Sword was great and all, but there must be a reason of why they were kicked out or their partnership with Sony ended after just one game... waiting for *HS2 developed by Santa Monica Studio*

Combat felt a bit lagy, way behind the standards set by Byonneta.

Deadman_Senji5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

"hurr fangirls durr"

Is that all you can say? You didn't play the older games so shut the hell up. You stand up on your soapbox and preach at us for disliking the unnecessary and unwanted change in a franchise we've all come to know and love, and you're acting like WE'RE the problem?

Bitch, we were here first. Anime Dante is how Dante is supposed to be. If you don't like it, don't try to change our franchise....go find something else that was actually made for your kind.

You've invaded a fanbase, people have every right to be pissed at you for defending NT, at NT for doing this and Capcom for handing it over to NT when there are other, more worthy devs out there both Eastern and Western.

Tired of this shit, you are not the fans of Devil May Cry. You are invaders and we want you OUT.

Also, you're on the losing side of the battle. Why would you want to be there in the vocal minority? I'm not trying to be mean but honestly...you don't belong. Pick your battles more wisely.

gaffyh5463d ago

I have no problems with Ninja Theory, there games have been good, but DMC has a fanbase, and this game looks like it is ruining DMC. Dante looks nothing like his character, the fighting looks very bland, and the graphics are worse than DMC4.

If that's not bad, I don't know what is. I'm a DMC fan, and I'm definitely considering skipping this game until Capcom realize why they should have listened to their fans.

Bereaver5463d ago

I'm sorry but I must disagree with ghost. I loved Enslaved. It was interesting.

thaking1555463d ago

@ Quagmire, The reason people keep going off the saying that fans are pissed that Dante has black hair or no white hair, and that Ninja Theory are A holes because they (also Capcom) have not listened to a single thing the fans have said.

Starting off they did not need to start over and reboot the game because DMC 4 was alright but leave Nero out because he sucked and was pointless, I was excited to hear about Ninja Theory making DMC until I saw the 1st trailer and then this messy crap trailer. It's E3 bro, the biggest gaming show all year and you bring an terrible unpolished and unfinished video and expect the masses to fall in and love the game... UMM still got a long way to go. The only fangirls I see are the ones that are defending this game , Capcom and Ninja theory. People are mad because the quality of the game looks PS2 graphics at best. And like I said, I understand it's a work in progress but come on I remember when Devil may cry 4 concept video first came out and then the official DMC4 trailer came out and yup the trailer and gameplay was looking head and shoulders above this title.

Ninja theory will fail to please the fans again, they did it Heavenly Sword and Enslaved.

Kurylo3d5463d ago

wait a second did i see his hair turn white when he did his demon trigger or whatever in this video. Maybe they are making this game lead up to the point that his hair turns white?

Otheros005463d ago

Dante was BORN WITH WHITE HAIR. DMC4 looked better than this game and It came out before it. Shows how much NT Su*ks.

AKissFromDaddy5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

I've played a lot of action games and I enjoyed watching the trailer because of song and the idea of the story but the gameplay is weak.

Capcom's Asura's Wrath looks more fun than DmC

Bayonetta and Devil May Cry 3 have spoiled me and Ninja Theory needs to look at the best DMC + action games and go back to their offices and retry.

crxss5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

Ya I agree with you, Bayonetta and DMC3 are the best in the genre but I think this DMC's story will blow those two away cause let's face it those didn't have the greatest plotlines. The gameplay looks fun based on what I saw and I'm a huge fan of DMC3 and Bayonetta. Not sure if anyone else noticed that the gameplay was slowed during most of the trailer and if you take that into account the gameplay looks a lot better... Maybe if they showed it at normal speed or if people FF it @1.5 speed on their PS3's when the trailer hits the PS Store they'll be able to see it's true potential.

Baka-akaB5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

but then again no one played dmc and bayo for the story , but for the gameplay ... Nor did the games even pretended to do otherwise

To create of a plot based franchise fine ... but to do that on an existing one ? meh

Ghost2505463d ago

amazing, pshhh... that gameplay was alright at best. but everything else sucked. graphics, animations, character models, environments (last time i checked, since when in the hell was dante ever in Britain?). enemies are plain, dante looks like a straight rip off from twilight. no sir you are wrong. any real fan knows that this game has FAIL written all over it.

FACTUAL evidence5463d ago

Wow...this was the most mediocre shit I sall all week besides wiiu...DMC4 owns this.....

crxss5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

Kid if you knew anything at all you would know DMC4 was mediocre at best. If you're going to say anything "owns" this you mine as well say DMC3 owns this since it's the best in the series.

Plus the Wii U was actually pretty impressive and most would disagree with you.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI5458d ago

@crXss

The point was that if it's worse than DMC4, there's A HUGE problem. Why compare it to 3 when you can use a fresh example that still proves the point?

Gamer_Z5463d ago

The only reason I would have gotten this game is because I wanted to play as the original Dante (he’s awesome) not some poser wannabe emo kid.

Looks like DMC with Dante turned into a black haired Anorexic Kid. -__-

sikbeta5463d ago

you forgot, girlie emo XD

crxss5463d ago

Have you ever seen RocknRolla? Go watch it. They're trying to use Johnny Quid's punk rocker style that's become popular recently in London to portray the new Dante.

darkdoom30005463d ago

No-one wanted a british dante.

I like the japanese inspired crazy dante.

elbeasto865463d ago

I thought it looked pretty badass. Same crazy over the top combos and moves.

Also, let's not just completely discard the disclaimer in the beginning of the trailer stating that this was still a work in progress.

Redempteur5463d ago

Sorry at this point in develloppement you have to have a vision of what you want to achieve with your battle system.

"work in progress" every game at E3 are work in progress that escuse is lame.

elbeasto865463d ago

Right and with this trailer it's clear that they have an idea of how they want it to work. They probably just mean that it needs tweaking and will most likely look better by the next trailer. The game is still not schedule to come out until Q4 of 2012, so there's still alot of time to make changes.

I guess I'm just saying that it's still too early to judge. Alot can change in a year and a half.

sasuke995463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

the gameplay was just ok average at best...everything else FAILED bid time the embarrassingly lame character and enemy design, the clunky animations the horrible visuals EVERYTHING, I have seen trailers for games in early pre-alpha looked soo much better than this

FLOP is written all over this game!

Redempteur5463d ago

teh gameplay looks slighty better than i expected and i expected the worst ..

it seems average at best for now.. sorry but i need more than that.

Still not impressed.

it's missing a lot but that trailer seems more DMC than the horrible first trailer apparition.

Baka-akaB5463d ago (Edited 5463d ago )

really average ...

It even looked like ripped from the far better American MC Gee's alice games .

Seriously guys do you remember ever being underwhelmed by a dmc trailer ? Even for dmc4 ?

I dont , and yet here we are with one that is very bland . Simply too cluttered, uninspired, and boring . and why was the camera cutting like it was during the fighting , with an effect even worse that in Enslaved ? Please tell me I wasn't the only one to notice that? .

I have one positive thought however ... at least the game is full of colors ... and not some emo goth fest

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

-Foxtrot58d ago (Edited 58d 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.

StoneColdCrazy58d 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.

1Victor58d 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.

Christopher58d 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.

58d ago
thesoftware73058d ago

1Victor,

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.

58d ago
KyRo58d ago

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.

darthv7257d ago (Edited 57d ago )

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 🤷🏿

58d ago
1Victor58d ago

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! 😂

Christopher58d 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.

SimulationDaily58d ago (Edited 58d 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.

gold_drake58d ago

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.

Chocoburger59d ago

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.

blacktiger59d ago

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