More Resi influence...

[DreadnoughtDT]

Just look at Possessed Arius and Arius-Argosax. If you've played (or beat) Resi 2, then you probably know the villain these forms were inspired by. Good old G. I think the Infestants and the Infested Tanks and Chopper were also a play on the fact that the G-Virus causes artificial evolution. What are you guys' thoughts on this?

Well, TBH, I'm a bit of a wimp so... I never completed Resi2 (or 4).
But, it wouldn't surprise me that Capcom took ideas for DMC from the Resi games.

Well, here. Check this link out.

It's quite obvious the games have similarities and references to each other, because they were made by the same company, Capcom.

Devil May Cry 1 was meant to be Resident Evil 4, that's why Leon and Dante are so similar with each other.

If you see Dante's Devil Trigger in DMC4, his chest to be exact, you'll notice the insignia of the Los Illuminados in RE4.

There are also many other references, If you're fond of little details.

Thanks DreadnoughtDT
Nice! Aren't the ppl in Resi charming?!

There is alot of similarity between the bosses and enemies of Dmc2 and the result of the G-virus. I looked at the final mutation of the G-virus and thought it looked like Argosax the Chaos and and a bit like Nightmare from DMC1 (Nightmare being a bit of a blob too). I didn't know that DMC took so much from Resi.

 

[Sparda™]

Well, the similarities they carry are also because of the fact the games have so much alike.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

I know that they're both made by Capcom. I was just wondering if other people noticed. Also, maybe this guy will look familiar too...

^ That's the Assault/Blade.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Or, in Resi terms, it's the Hunter. The Marionettes also remind me of the normal zombies.

The question you did above hinted at the Devil May Cry counterpart.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Yeah, it did. I must have worded the question wrong... Sorry!
