this is just my own idea of a DmC game id like to see one day.
its set 200+ years after the events of Devil May Cry( and its many sequels :shifty: ) the Devil May Cry business has flourished into an all out guild. members of the guild take missions and objectives around the world fighting angels, demons and devils advocates (corrupt humans).
the protagonist is a custom made character:
either half angel, half demon, nephilum or full human. all four are balanced. for example a half demon has the ability to shape shift and is the fastest re generator. while humans learn Wicca skills and have a greater long range/ explosive arsenal.
from the beginning the player has a complete choice in weapons they pick two weapons/ skills. they pick two to start with, and gain access to more weapons as the game progresses. they equip can equip up to 8 weapons at once. using them under the same principle as DmC. as you fight you gain experience that you spend on new upgrades in a tree. so every weapon has three routes it can take ( 5 for the first main weapon) that they can access.
gameplay is very similar to that of our current DmC.
demon characters get a demon trigger, angels get an angel trigger, nephilum a nephilum trigger and humans get a psy trigger (doesnt heal but player invincible)
the main differences being in the coop mode. you can form damage combos with your allies. for example, two devil pulls tears an enemy in two. shoot an ally and they can parry the bulllets at your opponent with added power. humans are especially powerful here as they can mark enemies and the terrain allowing more moves and combos to work on them. eg mark an enemy with an explosive seal when parrying and the next hit deals double damage.
the terrain is a closed sandbox. like DMC3 but smaller, they are generated it random. players can destroy it as much as they want if they have the power to do so. dont want to solve a puzzle to access the objective through a door? just smash a hole next to the door. solved.
. it encourages players to both split up at points and stick together and work as a team at others.
the story is dependent on their choice of race. example. for the half demon side:
the protagonist is on a routine mission where they stumble upon evidence that someone in the guild is working with the neo order. an organisation dedicated to bringing on the apocalypse and all out war between the races. which they believe will create the beast. a creature of absolute power who will destroy everything. recreating the world for the order.
if nephilim the protagonist follows the secrets behind the final battle of Dante where he finally fell against the darkness. the first demon and father of chaos. going there to pay theyre respects to the guild founder on the day of his death. the protagonist finds a cavern in limbo, there they find Dantes amulet discarded on the ground. which doesnt make sense as said amulet was said to be burried with him. they follow this lead, until they find that the entire final battle was a lie and the truth was much much darker.
there is also a multiplayer. its like a monster hunter 3 deal. you meet up in the "main" guild where you can socialise with other players, trade etc. you can go on group missions with 3 other members. create your own sub-guild and go on even more adventures. including a multiplayer coop story.
yh, so thats my idea...thoughts? how would your dream game be. how would you balance the 4 races? what kind of stories/ missions should there be? if this game DID exist what would your character be? be creative
i thought maybe this could be like a group project thing for fun
