Of course im new here, just signed up actually but i will wondering since this is where everyone DMC fans goes, perhaps not, i was wondering on what you guys thought of the direction of DMC is heading?

Im not trying to flame or cause any issues here, just trying to be civil with this. Im not going to end up raging about this game, if i do i would do it outside of the forum.

Anyways, my feelings for the new direction of the series i think it could have done better. My reasons are that im just so use to the original i dont think i could convert to this new one, but that doesnt mean i wont buy this new game whenever it comes out to be dirt cheap. The design for Dante and trying to make it modernized, to me was a bit weird but of course its a game and developers can do whatever they want, but why try to modernize a game? Vergil looks like a pimp lol and Dante, well yeah. I played the demo and honestly didnt like it that much and i couldnt get into it as i could like the others, of course since with this new direction, maybe they might to both universes to satisify both fanbase you know? The demo was way to easy but its just a demo i know. The story so far from what i have read, didnt seem interesting to me either, and sure Ninja Theory being "amazing" with their story telling kinda had me thinking differently, i played Enslaved and really didnt enjoy it. Maybe its just because of Ninja Theory i dont know honestly, but im not buying this until its dirt cheap. Im just too stuck on the original series i guess.

So i was wondering about everyone elses feedback on this matter and what you guys thought if the direction this game is taking and if it really needed a reboot. I honestly thought it didnt though and that Capcom kinda got lazy.
 
Storywise I think it's fine, gameplaywise it could be a lot better, but it's still great for their first attempt (it's a different studio that never had in-depth combat in their games before) and they have a lot of potential.

But they do need to acknowledge that some decisions were wrong, like the lack of hard lock-on, please give it back to us.
 
I don't think that DMC is going anywhere unless Capcom makes DMC5.
My opinion is that DMC and DmC are different story, different canon, different series.
Spin-off, reboot, remake ...whatever you wanna call it, DmC doesn't bombard the possibilities of seeing DMC5 in the future and DMC5 doesn't bombard the possibilities of seeing DmC2 in the future ...

I must agree that Ninja theory learned a lot from Capcom's advisers...A lot better than the other games they have made.
(Which makes it still quite good than average action games, to be true)
The story is well made, with Dante and the other characters living without conflict to whatever event that happened in the past. I also like the "kind" vergil...It feels very weird though because he looks more like the original than dante.
Well, it's their first BIG game and they are currently doing well. I hope this entry has a good future.

Honestly i prefer the western take on DmC better....it's not that i don't like the original but the whole japanese anime like thing it's not my style...New DmC is like the real world

Yes, sure, I just played the God of War Ascension multiplayer beta yesterday and DmC's combat is a lot better, I believe it fights with Darksiders II for the title of best western combat, it's just not quite on the level of the holy trinity of action games (Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta and DMC), but they can get there if they change their mindset a bit and get more and more insight from Capcom's combat gods. Maybe they could just make a full blown colaboration with the combat team being pretty much all Capcom guys? That would be most likely the best combat game ever.
 
I agree with everything Gbraga said however out of the three big action games of the year (all of which I have played them being rising,ascension and DmC) I feel that this one hands down has the best combat system and I enjoyed it the most.

I don't think that God of War needs to fight with this so called "holy trinity" GOW is all about looks and blood and gore and some more blood :P GOW is one of my favourites not because of million hard combos but because of how much fun you can have with it :cool:

I agree, I love GOW as well, I just find it silly to see people ****ting on this game's combat and then praising GOW somewhere else.

But I do think DmC can compete with GOW, and even surpass it, because it also goes for the setpieces/story driven/character development path while still keeping a deep (even though not as deep as before) combat system, so not only it rivals GOW on its own merits, but it completely outclasses it when it comes to combat.
 
Well everyone has their opinion on this matter i would prefer to have DMC 5 with Vergil's return, along with every other character thrown into the mix. Dante being the main story plot, along with Vergil's and Nero's side of the story as DLC but the DLC being as big as the game, so the game being 6.6G and with the separate stories (Vergil's and Nero's) each being 6 and some odd G makign a total of 18G of massive Hack n slash killing. I could go into more details indeed with this idea i have had for the past 3 years. Which i think it would have been a good idea with other ideas thrown into the mix. Of course Vergil's and Nero's DLC would make it where you could play as them of course and explaining everything from the past to now. Oh and Demons dont age as fast as human so Nero i think is either Vergil's son or Sparda had another with Eva and abandoned him.
 
I think the story is HUUUUGE improvement than the previous games. I could follow the DMC games generally easy but didn't really think much of them. This new DmC, since it's NT they're all about giving an awesome story with incredible artwork. The combat does feel watered down and I wouldn't mind it being slightly more hectic. A few more enemies on screen and sped-up gameplay.
 
Well, not trying to start anything, but Capcom really wasted several golden chances regarding the classic DMC series...

Overall, it was a hit and a miss. DMC 1 awesome, DMC 2 weak, DMC 3 awesome, DMC 4 not as good as DMC 3...

I believe there is nothing more to tell in the classic series. Vergil died for good, Mundus is sealed, Dante is the strongest one...There is nothing more to tell about it. I dislike Nero, I think he wasn't needed in the plot. I want to play Devil May Cry with Dante and not a crying kid whose girl was kidnapped. This is NOT what DMC is about.

The only true sequel for DMC 1 should be called Devil Never Cry. That's because of DMC 1 ending. Dante's shop was renamed. DMC 3 worked well as a prequel and it really closed the origins plot, though a lot was left unexplained.

Mundus won't come back for the next 2000 years. Vergil is dead. I think they need to make a Devil Never Cry, closing the saga and explaining what happened after DMC 2 events. Capcom messed up badly, so badly that they keep ignoring DMC 2, LOL.

That's why I'm interested about DmC. It has a chance of explaining more about Vergil, Dante and the whole Sparda saga. Old DMC games didn't focus on that. Everybody knows that Dante wasn't born already knowing how to kill demons, lol. His mother was killed. He has a brother. Humans are now involved with the plot.

I like DmC plot for what I'm seeing it. It's a good chance to recover the wasted chances to tell a decent story. I think story looks much better than original games.

If you've seen the Dante must die footage you wouldn't be asking for more enemies on screen...

In my personal opinion that is a horrible idea what wouldn't work for so many reasons I dont know where to start but to eaches own.
 
A couple of months ago I lived and breathed the HD collection and I would still say that the current is shaping up to be better than the classic.

As already said, it oozes confidence.
 
I think the direction DmC is going is fantastic. Granted, it's only just starting out, so we can't say definitively where it might be headed exactly, but it certainly has a lot of potential, and it's definitely the best action game, maybe the best game, that Ninja Theory has developed.

The story, combat, and aesthetic (the big three for me) are all there in spades, and it's a great treat that it's another developer's take on the DMC concept. I love seeing how other people tackle something I know, like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, or Peter Pan, or even the many different comic book stories. This is my most anticipated game of 2013 right now, and even with how much I love Metal Gear and can't wait for MGR, DmC is still the one I want to play most.
