DMC meets Halo! XD

TCD just gave me a nice rationalization for Nero being able to carry demons around with him. He absorbed things into the DB before, even parts of weakened demons (Credo's shield) so he could absorb tamed/weakened enemies into it as well for future use.

 

[Richtofen]

Maybe Nero can absorb their abilities until you swtich them for another demon he absorbed? I'm taking the concept of a blue mage here. XD

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

That could work as another ability. I like the demon-ally thing too much to drop it. :lol:

 

[Richtofen]

Nero would then be too strong I think...I;m thinking maybe one or the other but until then he will have both?

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Or it could be a choice somewhere in the game. Control demons, or absorb them. Player's choice.

 

[Richtofen]

Oh, that would be cool! Maybe you can have a choice of a new weapon as well depending on what one you choose?

Sorry guys I'm busy on my dumb computer I post soon

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Oh, that would cool! Maybe you can have a choice of a new weapon as well depending on what one you choose?

And since they both make a tempting offer, it's sure to twist brains. :lol:

Yeah, I like that idea. Although we should make them balanced so one isn't too much better than the other. More to suit playstyles than anything else.

 

[Richtofen]

Yeah. :lol: Controlling demons with this kick ass weapon or absorbing their abilites with this other kick ass weapon...

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

One of us should keep a wordpad document or something to keep track of enemies and abilities and such.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Oh a motorbike idea, sounds like a good one. Since I was having that in my Concept a while back I think it should be Dante's own separate bike though. Lady can still have hers.

Lol, so this is Halo meets Pokemon meets DMC? Quite a strange mix =/

I like the absorb and control ideas. Does the player pick which to use? Or can they unlock both? And what outcomes does choosing either one give the player? =/

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

It's a player's choice. I think you could have both as an unlockable costume. And I don't expect this to have much impact on the story, if at all. One gives one weapon and one ability, the other gives a different weapon and a different ability.

I was just thinking like a different path opens, depending on the choice. Like, you choose the absorb and a different path follows for the rest of the game. You choose the control, and another path becomes available. Like, different game paths from different choices. Opening up more mission/ending possibilities. It's done in other games, and doesn't just make you feel like you're replaying the game again.

Let's face it, DMC isn't really huge on it's mission repeatability.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Yes, but I also don't like the whole "bad ending/good ending" thing.

 

[Richtofen]

Who says they have to be either? It can be both bad or both good.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Yes, but I also don't like the whole "bad ending/good ending" thing.

I never said any bad endings. Subsequently you get the same ultimate ending. Just maybe a different cut-scene or something. I don't know, there's a lot to be played around with. Let's see what the others think.

At the moment I'm fine with adding or cutting this. And I'm guessing you don't want to add this Mr.Silves? =/

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Oh. Well, actually, I think it's fine. I just didn't like the idea of there being a good/bad ending because that's a HUGE video game cliche and that's what I thought you were aiming at.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Oh right, cool ^_^

Well that's two people that like that idea. Anyone else? =/

Who wants to keep up the word document for this? I've got too many word documents on my mind lately. Anyone? =/

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

I tried to do it yesterday, but I lost track of the file. ._.
