DmC: Devil May Cry

[Nathan]

This look is my personal favorite.

 

[Spider-X]

This look is my personal favorite.

I agreed that look is pretty bad ass. It's sad it's from the weakest game of the series

 

[zenith16]

God those guys are annoying, Idk if I'll be able to get into that show like I did Invisible Walls. And I still go with DMC1's look. That DMC2 pic make him look like he's wearing an apron backwards and it was ripped in half. Not sure what they were going with there. Or DMC3's outfit either. They only got it right the first time.

 

[Alchemyst]

I personally liked his DMC 2 outfit, I always imagined Dante to look like that if a film were done. Now, if the game itself would have retained Dante's cocky attitude and had a level design similar to the first, I would rank that game higher among the list of other DMC games.

What about his DMC4 look?

I personally love Epic Battle Cry lol they crack me up

What do you mean? Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne was pretty good.

TGS 10: Inspiration Interview HD


Of course the clip starts with the Creative Director talking. He barely opens his mouth and I feel like punching him straight in his face already.

 

[Spider-X]

yup

 

[Spider-X]

What do you mean? Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne was pretty good.

um...yes! exactly! who said DMC2? I've personally never heard of it

...

 

[Paroxysm]

Everyones still *****ing about what he looks like?

Wow.....

 

[Spider-X]

Everyones still *****ing about what he looks like?

Wow.....

Yup...imagine that! it's almost like people actually care what iconic characters in beloved video game franchises they grew up loving look like? crazy isn't it?!?

 

[Nathan]

Well, it also doesn't help that he looks like the creative director. I'm pretty sure people would've warmed up to it a lot faster, if that were not the case.

 

[Paroxysm]

Yes it is. They aren't going to change it, no matter how hard you cry.

I'd be more conecered with what improvments they might have made from the previous ones (if any).

 

[Nathan]

Didn't they supposedly change the character model of inFamous 2, after a fan outcry? Or at least that's what I heard. It could work for DmC. You never know.

 

[Paroxysm]

it doesn't hinder either. If you're a fan of DMC your a fan, you'll buy the game regardless right?

Depends if the game is any good. The one game that got retconned from existence for example, wasn't.

 

[Paroxysm]

They made 1 game though, it makes sense to keep the character somewhat the same, but DMC has been around for almost 10 ****ing years. This is a reboot, so a new look was given.

 

[Spider-X]

Yes it is. They aren't going to change it, no matter how hard you cry.

Oh...sorry...didn't know you were from the development team for this game.

Cole from Infamous 2 anyone?

Imagine if you will that the made Master Cheif into a walking, gun toting, sausage. If you were a fan of the series, you'd care. and if you weren't a fan you'd porbably say "this looks freaking stupid". (it's an extreme example, i know...but still)

Look, stop trying to change peoples opinions on what is important for a game...it's a losing battle.

In any case, i do care what improvements they make to the game compared to the others and i am interested in the direction they are taking. I just really don't care for how the character looks. And considering i loved the old Dante, and any DMC game i'll be playing i'll play for hours and hours and hours...i'm going to care what the character i play looks like.

You know, having a character model change after one game would be a lot more forgivable, since people haven't become attached to the character as much. Exactly because DMC has been around for ****ing 10 years, the fan outcry is so large. They have become attached to the character. They hear DMC, they associate a certain look of the main character with it.

It's no different from any other media. Be it comics or movies. Imagine Bruce Wayne would've been blond and wearing a pony tail in Batman Begins. But it's ok right? Since the Movie was a reboot and the character existed for decades. So a new look would have been a given. That would've been about the same drastic change as the new Dante we got.

Making him younger is one thing. But making him look nothing like Dante at all? That's when people get pissed.

#1...they didn't need to reboot.
#2...just because it's a reboot doesn't mean they have to make the character look drastically different

Ok then in the reboot to halo lets have master cheif look like a skinny teenager who abuses his power's, or lets have spider man a mexican guy from the bronx.

thats exactly what they did with Spiderman 2099

#2...just because it's a reboot doesn't mean they have to make the character look drastically different

but because they did reboot, it means they can. Had this been a sequel to DMC5, than they would have been limited to what came before. Had they changed that Dante's look, the complaints would be justified. Considering this is a reboot, they do not need to be tied down to any continuity set before. They are basically allowed to start from scratch and thats where they are going with it. Otherwise reboot, if only to keep it mainly the same?

 

[Spider-X]

...Spider-Man 2099 is in the future, not a reboot. This is literally nothing like Spider-Man 2099.

If anything this is more like Ultimate Spider-man...and guess who he looks like...EXACTLY LIKE 616 SPIDER-MAN!

- DMC5 doesn't exist.
- If they are going to reboot and use the same character as in the previous existing titles...that character should look similar or at least improve over the original. This new Dante does neither of these things imo, thus i will complain.

We're not stopping anyone from talking about the gameplay mechanics...we are just voicing our distaste of this new Dante.
