Aim of this thread:
Find out the inspiration sources of DmC and ideas used from other games that Ninja theory have made.

DmC sources is a thread to discuss what sources of inspiration have been used in DmC.
We already know DMC is template to DmC.

Sources of inspiration and other that i have noticed:

Heavenly sword (cutscene finishers, three stances, angel form)
Enslaved (Mystery girl helping DmC's character, sewer looking enviroment)
Twilight (They did mention successful media templates)
John Carpenters movie they are alive (Consumer illusion)
Prototype (Car grabbing and flying)
Inception (buildings/structures changing)
Punk movement (demon world = goverment, punk fighting goverment)

GREEN is definite or highly possible idea sources
GREY is discussable

These are more or less valid. For example we can definetly say that Heavenly sword have been a source of ideas for DmC because of the three things that i have described in ( ).
While Twilight be source seems not very likely.
 
Well, it definately seems to according to Tameem Antoniades when he said in an interviews that we would be able to switch weapons on the fly - like we could in Heavenly Sword.

Ok, that's one source of ideas. I will make it green colour meaning 100%.
 
I doubt Twilight is any source of inspiration though. That's just conspiracy theories made by some disapproving fans, aka haters. I haven't read or heard any official word about Twilight being any source of inspiration, so I would cross that off the list.
 
This is why i think Twilight might be an a source of idea:


0:20 "Alot of meaningful template that are currently in media"

Media = movies?

1:23 "Cool culture condensed into a video game".
 
You are reaching at straws. He meant the media overall, like, what is popular today in the gaming community, on the movie scene, all that stuff... not JUST Twilight. So singling down on just Twilight would be wrong.

I know. But aren't vampires "cool" nowdays? Vampire Diaries, , True Blood, Twilight?
And the fact that he kinda resemblances that Edward Cullen.

Not saying it's enough to be certain - but just saying would that make sense?
 
He doesn't resemble Edward Cullen. Again, that's what the twisted view of haters makes him look like. They hate on Edward, they hate on DmC, then the two must connect! Seriously, some people make the oddest connections when they're hating...

And sure, vampire's are cool, I've always thought they were cool, before everyone else started to think they were cool... *hipster pose*
... but Dante isn't a vampire. He's got a healthy tan.
 
It's not haters view. I think he kinda looks vampire looking and sorta resemblance Twilight Edward. But it's probably a coincedence.

And Vampire Diary and Twilight suck to me.
Underworld for men ftw.
 
Underworld is awesome! Can't wait for the next movie which is in the works... ^^
But yeah, all those girly vampire movies/series are rather boring. True Blood is kinda cool though... you get to see hot men in the nude. ;P

But NO! Bad CoolDemon! Dante does not look like Edward! Go sit in your corner of shame!
 
The new Dante is base on the angst and unrest of Teens nowadays.
No job prospects and No hope. (In fact, i remember reading something like that not too long after the August riots in the UK. I thought it was a bit suspicious how he made those remarks after all of the trouble.)

And if twilight is a big template, then NT can kma. If they want to base a game on a so-called fan fiction, they could've used Nite Runner ;)
The Edward thing BIG insult to Dante
*kma = kiss my ar$e

I definitely agree with the punk movement, because Dante's new style is punk. (I've had a run on punk music at the moment, and i've been looking at the fashion)
 
I think riots in UK may be a source too but i think Punk movement covers that. Because Punk movement were angry at goverment so it's kinda similar thing isn't it?
 
Also, I would like to note... again... that the British flag on the jacket does NOT mean Dante is now British or British affiliated. It is nothing more than a hint to Ninja Theory being a British company. Nothing more, nothing less. Limbo City is a fictional city in a fictional world, and from the little we've heard Dante talk, there was no British accent heard. It's just a flag on a jacket... that's all. No need to read too much into it and make crazy conspiracy theories about it. Sometimes a flag is just a flag. ^^
 
True it's Limbo City. But the flag is just pointless to be honest. I don't wanna go further into why because we would probably disagree i think.

I'm not sure the August riots were against the government... plus, it helps when your government gives a damn.

IDK VB...I must respectfully disagree with you about the "no job prospects, no hope" thing relating to the riots. It's like saying CoD4 was made specifically because of 9/11. It is probably just a coincidence, since Dante was kinda starting to take shape BEFORE the riots and they've been working on the game for a while. I love his look though, the punk look is amazing and I can't wait to see more of him. I want to see Dante in all of his awesomeness and glory.

-----------EDIT-------------------

And I'd like to point out that the British flag has nothing to do with British affiliations, as Asmo stated. After all, I'm American and have no genetic ties to Britain, yet my favorite pair of shoes were British Knights and guess what, they had a Union Jack on them. It has nothing to do with his connections or affiliations guys, quit reading into it so much.
