Capcom rapes Devil May Cry

Throw another one on the heap of "bastardized western reboot". First Bionic Commando, and now this. Get a fu*king clue Capcom. We don't want your genre specific Americanized franchises. They don't sell. We want Capcom games. I'd expect this sh*t from Sega. I find it humorous that normal Dante is in MvC3 "for the fans", while this emo-tastic bastardized version is going to be hawked to a consumer base that could give less of a sh*t.

I find this offensive, and I've always thought DMC sucks. Embarrassing to say the least. Why the hell do you reboot a franchise that had a healthy and stable fanbase? Are they trying to get the Twilight money? This is going to bomb harder than Dark Void.

I'm pretty sure "normal" Dante isnt in MVC3, its DMC3 Dante who looks like a tool.

This looks dumb as hell, but your alarmist overreaction is always amusing.

Dumb idea, yeah. Ugly as sin character design.

Part of me hopes that the people in charge do this type of thing to watch the reaction of people like you. That or to maybe show that -they- can do whatever they want, regardless of what the "Fanbase" thinks/wants.

DMC has been crap since the first game anyway. The only redeeming factor in 3 was the combat but everything else was **** so it hardly made up for it.

Honestly this was the direction I saw the series going in. Dante looks even more metrosexual this time around. As if he wasn't gay enough in the 3rd game or the 2nd where he was wearing Diesel clothing. The series died for me when I played through all of DMC 4 having no fun at all basically the entire time.

1 was a rare game. It had horror elements but not in a scary way it was more of a grotesque way. As it was supposed to be RE 4 but got re-purposed it makes sense. I liked the enemies, a lot, and the bosses. The locations were varied and unique. The story was the most interesting and Dante was portrayed as something other then a loud mouth jerk off who acts like a complete twat. He also never surfed missiles or did any of the other stupid **** he did in the 3rd game.

I don't see how this is "Western". If this thing was anymore Japanese it would have school girls in skirts jumping around showing their panties to everyone. Only someone in Japan could think Dante looks even remotely appealing. The monster design looks like something rejected from a Silent Hill game. The only thing slightly Western is the narration which sounds like something ripped from a bad sci-fi movie. Actually it sounds like something written by Capcom for one of their hilarious Resident Evil games.

I guess I should have said this in 2003 but it's never too late, good bye Devil May Cry. We had some good times together but obviously you've deviated.

You haven't realized by now that Capcom are trolls?

Wow, you offend super easily. And Spit's right, you're blind if you can't see how super jappy this is.

*Brodie* · 09-16-2010, 12:22 PM

If anything, the First DMC was their impression of a Western action game with Japanese influence. THIS looks super Japanese.

Spit and Cure are right.

So, TMB, now that we've said this, can we expect you to be all super excited for the game in a month or so? "GAME LOOKS AMAZING, CAPCOM KNOWS JUST HOW TO GET THE FANS GOING!"

Is no one going to mention that the game is being made by Ninja Theory? A good studio?

Peanut · 09-16-2010, 01:50 PM

Yeah, the Ninja Theory thing piques my interest, so that puts me squarely at 0.

Also, nice single-sentence backtrack on everything you've said about DMC for the past 5 years, Spitfire.

Almost. Most of my DMC jerking off took place on my early forum days. My excitement in it died out shortly after 3 was released. I still liked the character though, and the first game. 4 was the end of it for me. I wasn't that excited about it to begin with and then I bought it and played out of desire to recreate the fun I had with the first game. It obviously didn't work. Beating it was more of a chore then anything.

I know I was resident Devil May Cry fanboy but those days are long gone. Haven't been a hardcore fan since 2005. Which reminds me, I've been here for a long ass time. I was 15 when I joined this board. Right in the middle of my emo Xanga days.

I thought that DMC originaly was a resident evil failed attempt that they redid to try and not waste money, so I bought it thinking it was going to be cool. I took it back I did not care for it.

I'm not one to really trip on the design of Dante. i hate bad character design, but Dante always looked a bit over the top, so I'm fine with it. I'm more concerned with Team Ninja stepping up in the gameplay department. On the other hand, I'm excited at the possibility of Dante's most cinematic adventure yet.

That all said, Ninja Gaiden took the "hack n slash" crown for me upon its release years ago. Dmc hasn't really impressed me since DMC 3. Despite loving the Dante vs Nero fights from Dmc 4, the rest of the game didn't really do it for me.
