Ok... I'm not at all good when it comes to interpreting things but doesn't it sound like NT's desperate attempt to calm down the angry fans of the franchise :confused: ?!

i have to agree, but i don't necessarily consider this a bad thing because since the start of DmC i have considered this game an experiment, so therefore making it in an alternate universe being told from a different perspective is refreshing to me. im curious as to see how ninja theory tells the story of dante
 
Hmmmm.....first reboot then prequel then origin story and now an alternate universe.ninja theory seem to be very nervous for this one because of the fan's backlash.i just hope it's not a bad game.and seeing this i believe maybe we'll get to see the old devil may cry continue.
 
It does reek of not wanting to upset existing fans. At least that can show some people that Capcom does care somewhat about what we think. I don't know, personally for me I don't see the point in them dancing around a decision as to what the game should be classed as. For me, alternate Universe just doesn't do it. I was hoping for real Dante, non canon. Where's the harm in that if it's not canon? It doesn't upset anyone. What we're saying is okay in terms of games now is not only remakes/reboots of games or whatever, but the choice of being able to make a game almost similar to a game that already exists, yet pass it off as a new game altogether. It sort of lacks originality and creativity to a certain extent, if you already have things you can work with or work on. When DmC is released, we'll have those who have either never played DMC or those who just prefer DmC more, saying how they prefer it more and why. Personally in my opinion, that would just cause more arguments that aren't really needed. But whatever, alternate Universe is okay enough with me. At least the original story-line and time-line hasn't been damaged (Although it technically already is damaged) and it'd be nice if Capcom started working on it to fix things.
 
A reboot would automatically mean that it is happening in an alternate univers/timeline, I'd say. I don't see why people focus so much on that.

Why they give a damn about the angry fans is beyond me though. No matter what explanation they will come with, there will always be angry fans. They can't be avoided... so it would be better just to ignore them and focus on the fans who would actually want this game.

The thing we should really focus on is that the Devil Trigger doesn't turn Dante into a devil form. That's what disappoints me! I loved the DT for that, but now it acts like Quicksilver mode instead, and though that sounds cool too, I feel it's a bummer that we won't get to see Dante in a devil form in this one, or at least SOME kind of supernatural form.

Its an issue when the majority of the fanbase are either still angry or apathetic.

As for this, this screams cop-out to me. NT is realizing they messed up and now they have to do whatever they can to calm down the fanbase they ****ed off because word of mouth is effective. The majority of the fanbase is ****ed and so they are going tell other people who may or may not like DMC about how much it sucks and so on.
 
All things considered, the title of this section in which this very thread is posted in is incorrect then. It's not really the fifth installment in the DMC Series, just as it isn't a Reboot (This much is clear to us now).

Just because it takes place in an alternate world doesn't mean it isn't a reboot anymore. (Although to be honest I don't see how this game has anything to do with DMC and it really seems like its just DMC in name only. A cash-in really.)

From my understanding of this game now, it is a completely separate thing entirely. Essentially it does not relate to the Devil May Cry Series, therefore it's not technically correct to call it the fifth installment in the DMC Series. DMC and DmC are two different things in their own respect, whether they share a similar relation in terms of certain aspects. DmC does not look to be a Reboot, with this in mind, as it would imply that DmC is a Reboot of the DMC Series, but this does not appear to be the case.

DmC is essentially Ninja Theory's alternate take on Devil May Cry. It's literally unrelated to what Capcom have already worked on with Devil May Cry.

DmC only relates to DMC, because DMC is what DmC is alternately based off of. Except the fact that this is Dante in a non canon, alternate Universe, anything that goes in DmC isn't related to DMC in any way. So honestly, this game was essentially not needed because it doesn't explain anything about DMC to us. All it seems is just Ninja Theory trying to take something that already exists and place their own spin on it for creative purposes. It just looks like Capcom gave them a challenge, to see what they could do and to improve the way in which they design games.

The descriptions for this Section were written a while ago when not much was made clear to us. Back then we were under the impression it was related to DMC and it was a Reboot, but such things have since changed from then.

+1, except for showing mediocre gameplay footage and one singal story trailer, the only thing they did so far was trying to calm the fans. I think that's a bunch of bullcrap, they should've listened to the fans from the first place and just drop this game and make an actual Devil May Cry game instead.
 
I thought it was pretty obvious that this would be in a separate universe.

Is this really news to some people?

NT confirmed a LONG time ago that this has NOTHING to do with the previous DMC canon which should automatically give you the impression that this is in its own separate universe.

Guess I didn't know this. The last time I tried to fight my lazyness and get some latest info myself rather than depending on people here, I found that they were having trouble deciding what to call it - a Reboot or a Prequel. So yeah.... This is news, atleast for me.

It was confirmed a while back.

We discussed it on this topic.

And even before it was officially confirmed I thought it would be obvious considering how they called this a reboot and how Dante looked so radically different.
 

People are just reading to much into this.

It would be a ridiculous move on NT's part to include the real Dante in this storyline for obvious reasons.

One of them being the fact that it would kinda defeat the purpose of this NEW take on the DMC mythos and this all new Dante and his story.

Leave the original Dante out of this please.
