Topic: Devil May Cry Reboot

This little drugged out turd

I forgot to mention that this quote made my week. There will be a spot for you in Valhalla.

I should clarify my last entry somewhat since a lot of you are confused...I would be too. What I was getting at was that these new game desiners i.e. IGA and this new director for the DMC reboot are making these games into what they want to see; what they think we should see reather then letting us fans have what we know to be a tripple 'T'; Tried, Trusted and True. With the CV games of the last decade, it's IGA's characters, IGA's stories, etc. In essence he's turning CV into something that reflects himself rather then having the series follow the status quo which has always worked for it. The same can be said for this new DMC reboot. That about sums it up.

I don't think IGA's stories or characters are bad, but it's the development and cut-scene execution that are. The story ideas are pretty cool, but in more capable hands, they could've been better than what we got. It's like with movies. Stephen King could write some good books, but when he gets down to writing screenplays for movie/mini-series adaptation, they always fall short. But, for other BETTER writers(who aren't better in WRITING than they are more skilled in making screenplays work), they are able to turn out a GOOD screenplay based on King's story ideas, and it works. I think that's how IGA's CV stories should've been handled. It's kinda like with Tetsuya Nomura too, who writes a base story and lets other writers(like Kazushige Nojima) flesh it out, adding more scenes of dialog, character interraction and depth.

But yeah, I'm not thrilled at this DMC "reboot". The last decade, the wholre remake/reboot trend has been overkill, and it seems to be getting worse. Now people aren't waiting longer than a decade to jump at rebooting new movies and games. I mean, look at the Spider-man movies, which are geting a reboot. Sure, Sipider-Man 3 could've been better, but c'mon! Pretty soon, it's not going to even be a year until they start rebooting things. I always thought rebooting was a cheap way out. It's like playing a game, not liking the results and always calling, "Do over!". I mean, when you have a kid, and you don't like how they are turning out, you don't kill the kid, decide to have another one(to replace the kid) and start over again.

I'm gonna have to agree with the people who say he's in a psychiatric ward of some kind. I keep watching this trailer over and over again, and the more I do, the more I think that this actually is a sequel, and not just a reboot. Not only that, but It really does seem that he's been brainwashed into believing that he is Dante, even though he isn't. I seriously think this character isn't actually meant to be the real Dante. Maybe some organization is trying to bring the real Dante down, and so found what they saw as the person most able to become a new "Dante" to bring down the original. I don't think he's Dante at all in reality. I really think he's a new character altogether.

I hope you are right. But you probably aren't  Ninja Theory just sucks.

[DragonSlayr81]

I would love the theory to be true. Sadly, companies would rather reboot franchises in a heartbeat than think up something as interesting as that(and try to continue an established franchise).

[corneliab]

did not make this

[Oralox]

LOL  Thats who I thought of when I saw the new dante.

[Kale]

lmao. wow, that picture fits with new dante perfectly.

[Volt]

you know my first reaction was "WTF! who the f*ck's idea was it to do that those SOBs Mofo" several other swera words but now after reading some comments at Kotaku, this uproar maybe exactly what capcom wants...maybe he's not Dante, just some weird plot about being believed to be Dante. at least I hope so, cause I hate him in so many ways...

now that I think about it DMC4 didn't say that we were going to play with Dante did they? but we did, and Dante at the end of the day was 100x more fun to play with than Nero IMO.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

LOL "Dante" Pattinson.

[JR]

I forget which one it was, but there was a blog that insisted that this was an origin story of Dante, and not a reboot. Their reasoning was because of the white streaks of hair on top of this kid's head...it's supposed to be before Dante actually knows he's part Demon.

As unlikely as that sounds, it could be possible, I guess. I still like the "brainwashed into believing he's Dante" idea a whole lot better.

[Volt]

I agree with JR that brainwashed deal sounds better, but I also read somewhere that Dante's white hair was supposedly there since birth so...I think it is a reboot, oh and I hate the new Dante.

Pretty much sums up my opinion about this game. =O

[GummiCandyful]

The forest levels, especially when fights Fausts or Mephistos, had some annoying slowdowns when you were near trees or heavy foliage. Especially that one part where theres that creek. I don't recall any slowdown in DMC3 though.



Have you guys seen this? Apparently the guy on the right is the games director. FUCK HIM!!

Wow, the resemblance is uncanny. O__O What a douche. Must have a horrible case of USI.

This reminds me of that shitty Dragonball Evolution movie; the director fucked it up, and after the fact, there was news of the movie facing a reboot. All I can say to this is that, I know it would still suck, even if the characters do end up looking as they did in the original manga. As for Spider-Man, that really made me angry. I was totally looking forward to the fourth movie, with Dr. Connors becoming the Lizard, but Sony Pictures had to be douche-bags and reboot the franchise.

Back on topic, I'm skeptical of this supposed reboot of DMC, but the action looks great, and Ninja Theory, afterall, was responsible for one of the greatest PS3 games, and like the rest of you, I hope those theories that were mentioned are true, because DMC never needed a reboot to begin with. Also, those that are comparing this to Los, just keep in mind that the majority of CV's core elements remain intact, and that Gabe is a new Belmont, and unlike DMC, the series has become stagnant and was in desperate need for a quality 3D game. So I say, thank you, Cox, and (maybe) fuck the director of this reboot.

Fantastic Four is being rebooted too, everything's getting rebooted nowadays. Makes you wonder how Harry Potter managed to survive this long.
