Topic: Devil May Cry Reboot

[shelverton.]

I only really care about the story in RPGs. In action games I rarely pay attention to be honest. I mean, I get the overall plot but I don't dwell on details or even think about it the second I turn the game off. With characters, I only care about what they look like, not what they say or how the act. My interest in video game characters is only skin deep, with a few exceptions... Having said that, Dante looks nowhere near as cool as he used to, and it bothers me.

I read a lot of books and watch a lot of movies so maybe video games is just relaxation for me. I simply don't care what happens in them as long as the gameplay is fun. I could never force myself to sit through a boring game just for the storyline, no matter how good it is.

Everything about this looks like a horrible marketing excercise

That's because it is. Reading that the higher ups at Capcom rejected a Dante design that actually fucking looked like him was the last straw.

There's really no question about it. It's Devil May Cry: Streetwise.

i know right *EPIC Facepalm*
that really annoyed me after reading that they actually had a Dante design that looked similar to the Dante we all know and love only to have it rejected and tossed aside

at least they'll have more pressure to make it have great gameplay. then again the devs are known more for their story-telling rather than gameplay. hhhh.

good point.
however
i heard that they will be useing their own engine to run this game which will thus lose the typical fast paced gameplay that all DMC games have which will only further raise doubt in longtime DMC fans.

The choice of dev and the choice of engine suggest it will have damn sloppy gameplay.

Dante what have they done to you?

Bad time to be a Dante fan. Hopefully if Mercury Steam does the next Castlevania game and adds Alucard they won't butcher his design like Ninja Theory did with this.

i have a VERY HIGH fear that this may become the case.
i'm like 90% sure they are going to revamp Alucard in the same manner they revamped Olrox,Brauner,and Cornel wich is complete BS.

*sigh* read this guys

it appears Capcom KNEW that we longtime DMC fans wouldn't like the knew design and basically didn't give a d*mn 
way to alianate the original DMC fans Capcom and basically give us the middle finger after 10 years of dedication to the series

thats the great thing about owning a popular brand. You can send people to the f and they still will buy the game. I dont really care, however that part was kinda annoying
"No guys, this needs to be completely different, we need you to go much further and be much more creative".


God bless (mostly) LoS redesigns

It's a good thing I'm more a fan of the gameplay than I am of the characters. Then I'd be pretty annoyed, more so than I am. But as it is right now, I'm only annoyed because of the audacity of the designer making Dante his clone. E-peen anyone?

Too bad it will run like crap on the Unreal engine which probably wont handle the type of slick gameplay DMC3 had.

E-peen anyone?

Sort of an understatement, but yeah.

revamped...lul i get it. Considering that Alucard is such an iconic character and that MS' Belmont design top notch, I don't think we will have a problem. The worst they could do is base the design off of CV3.

which is a HIGH probability considering he seems to love the "Classic" vania style over the "Metroid" vania style.
