Some very good ideas there Dreadnought... you can imagine that with proper designs, it would be quite an epic boss fight. I like that you've included Grab moves for Dante now after my suggestion... what do you think of my DMC5 Dante designs?
DreadnoughtDT;194987 said:To tell you the truth, SuperDante, I think the designs you did are very well done. I REALLY like that picture you drew of Dante in his Devil Trigger for this game. It looks really nice. I just have one suggestion for it. Instead of having a face, it should have a dark hole where his face would be. It seems less human that way.
SuperDante;194958 said:I just watched a Bayonetta trailer, I wouldnt like Demon Focus to be like that. Maybe everything around Dante only slows by 5-10% but he speeds up by 30% so the gameplay will become incredibly fast and Dante will be a blur. I know what you mean by it being the same but I see it in a different way. It would be extreme gameplay. And for the Special Attacks, think God Of War when Kratos attacks say, a Cyclops and performs a button specific attack. Soz if I don't make sense.
SuperDante;194955 said:yeah i know it has been done before but i'm just putting it together to change Dante up a bit. I think if you did the same thing as in DMC3 & DMC4 for Dante, it would get really boring so this is just a way of powering up his gameplay. The "winged" DT is simply his normal DT with wings...just coz i thought it would be cool. The Demon Focus would be a pretty cool addition to show off his power. And the grabs/special attacks are just a little extra for fun. Kind of my way of maxing Dante out as I think he is the most kick A$$ character out there
DreadnoughtDT;194972 said:Woah! You guys have gone on a RAMPAGE without me! Anyway, here's another enemy idea, but he has multiple forms! I think this is my most detailed enemy yet, and I'll give you a hint of what inspired it... It starts with an I and ends with nfested tank/copter.
Possessor (base form): A small blob of dark energy that cannot attack at all, except for a weak ram. However, if it gets near some military equipment...
Buster/Grab: None. It is incorporeal and cannot be grabbed.
Possessor (machine gun turret): Imagine a machine gun turret with an Infestant, and you have the Possessed Machine Gun Turret. They fire in short bursts or full auto and use the tripod as legs to move like a spider.
Buster/Grab: Nero/Dante uses the turret for a short while.
Possessor Hybrid (4 Tank + 1 Helicopter Combo): A monster that would put the Infested Vehicles to shame. Using four tanks as limbs and a Blackhawk war copter as a main body, this boss should be left alone unless you have the brute force to take it down. Dark attacks are absolutely USELESS against it, so the Dark Force Gauntlets do minimal damage.
Physical Description (Because you may be confused...): Imagine a large helicopter using four tanks as tank treads, all wrapped in juicy black tentacles that ooze when cut.
Buster: Nero grabs the amalgam by the blades and slams it into the ground, then he spins it and throws it. Devastating.
Grab: Dante jumps on each of the tanks in succession, stabbing each one repeatedly until reaching the copter, in which he tears a missile off and throws it.
Possessor Hybrid,Humanoid Form: After weakening the first form enough, it gets desperate and regenerates it's health bar, turning into this monstrosity as it does so. On its arms, it sheds everything of the tanks except for the turrets. It's legs, however, are turned into a large tank base, and the helicopter begins to burst open and tentacles writhe forth. It begins to twitch crazily and utters random words associated with death during each attack in a whispery, raspy voice. (Die... Kill... Maim...) It gains a HUGE amount of speed in this form, but, since it has shed so much of it's armor, it becomes weaker. However, it gains the ability to summon smaller Possessors to possess cars and trucks that abound the arena, creating small transformers, so to speak. Once all the cars and trucks are destroyed, it will fight you, half-breed-demon to machine-demon-hybrid. Once this form is defeated, it has ONE last trick up it's sleeve...
Buster: Nero rips a few tentacles off and uses them as whips, smacking the Hybrid around a bit. He then throws the tentacles at it and kicks it.
Grab: Dante rips the Hybrid's propeller off and throws it back at it like a shuriken, slicing one of the Hybrid's arms off and preventing it from flying away to dodge attacks.
Possessor Hybrid, Desperation Form: After shedding everything off of it's body, the possessor is a large, shadowy and multi-tentacled mass with glowing red eyes. Due to the shedding of it's armor, sunlight will damage it. You must lure it into the sun. It won't make this easy, as it will use crazy, maniacal combos that show it's desperation. After luring it into the sun, it becomes stunned and will show it's heart. This is when you attack. After a few seconds of suffering, the Possessor with slam the hole shut with it's tentacles, making you have to find another.
Buster/Grab: This is the kicker. You can't buster OR grab this form, as it's a ghostly creature.
What do you guys think?
SuperDante;195130 said:Also, the reasoning for Dante being willing to fight Angels is that they could be like the Supernatural angles - d***heads! And I think they shouldn't really give a damn about humans, and to top it all off...i think they should do something to push Dante over the edge, like kill someone close to him. That way, when he goes off to face the higher Archangels, Nero could try to stop him, but this time Dante has no patience for the hotheaded kid and beats him down. Could be a very powerful cutscene that makes players think "Dante's in a really bad way," and this could set up Dante's quest to find the Archangel General. Then you have the epic last fight where Dante makes the realization that the head Archangel is "more Demon than Angel". Now Dante shouldn't be all doom and gloom like DMC2, but he should be angry this time and really full on, like we have not yet seen. And I think if Nero really started to mature and stop screaming all the time, he could become a much more likeable character.
SuperDante;195149 said:also guys, wat are your opinions on making Dante's Trickster, when fully upgraded, having Dante move like RE5 Wesker when he is shot at? Moving so fast it seems he is teleporting!!! I think it would make for some mental gameplay, and a very cool cutscene as well! I know he does it in one move, but that should be how he dodges and everything... thoughts?
