TGS 2015... maybe?

@Enigma , urban legend says :


Nero is REALLY Vergil's son:

At this point, I really don't care. I feel like this is something that's been going one way and then another and now, it's just meh to me these days. If he is, whoo hoo, if not, I guess that's okay too.

To be fair, he does look like Geralt...

...but Geralt looks an awful lot like Elric. And looks aren't the half of the similarities.

i don't know who this elric you mentioned is, but i googled him and got me some awesome white haired dude pics.. cool stuff..

Well, he only shares a few similarities with Geralt: being a wandering albino, anti-heroic spellsword with the nickname of the "White Wolf" follows him wherever he goes, cursed with an abnormally-long life-span with powers sustained through the use of unorthodox substances. He also possesses an ancient rune sword which he doesn't put to use as often as his silver tongue and steely wit...which garners him access to political arena of kings and warlords, as well as the beds of many a prominent maiden.

But other than that, they're nothing alike.

Oh, and Elric was conceived in 1963, whereas Geralt's first appearance was in 1986, so...that makes things even fishier.

Update:

Nero is REALLY Vergil's son:

They could not be bothered to add at what point in the timeline and with whom did he sired with so I could evaluate her worthiness. Beside that, Vergil's pull out game was weak.

Yep, Sapkowski was (and is) indeed a big fan of Moorcock so he based Geralt on Elric. However...

But other than that, they're nothing alike.

Despite your sarcasm, from what I could read about this matter, that statement is actually true. It actually seems that the two have as many differences (and significant ones) as their similarities. I once read a post by a guy in some forum listing the main characteristics of the two characters, and while they do share striking similarities, they also have an awful lot of different character-defining qualities.

They still not planned that, I bet OR they are idiot enough to think nobody would ever ask. Maybe Bingo knew, but he said BYE BYE long ago!
And yes, it's weird a mother of a hero didn't get mentioned.

If you can link me to that post, that'd be great. Because as far as I can tell, the two characters almost identical on a scale of personality and traits. Even their narrative growth is almost exactly the same.

Sure, I'll PM you.

Leveled up his Dark Slayer Style, but not the underrated Royal Pull Out Style.

So, no DMC 5 at TGS then?

Right. As much as I appreciate how mature the conversations you're having are, I'm sure you can all agree that the purpose of this particular thread has run its course. And perhaps we could take these thoughts of Nero being Vergil's son or the similarities between Geralt and Elric and put them in a more appropriate thread.

This isn't a telling off, just so you guys know the context of what I'm saying. I am pleased you're all being civil. I just see no point in continuing these discussions here, is all.

@LordOfDarkness
Don't worry I already told Wolf I'll PM him, won't derail the thread.

My last hope 2015 TGS . I get a new news DMC /DmC sequel. TGS has ended , unfortunately no news DMC/DmC sequel. DMC/DmC dead. :'(

 

[absolitude]

this could be a sucky years for i dont know how long, konami ceases AAA games development cept PES, there goes castlevania or MGR.. pc h/s players are certainly doomed

 

[Foxtrot94]

DMC/DmC dead. :'(

No it's not. Its absence at this year's TGS means nothing, as @Enigma said.

Vinosh, you better stop with your trollish posts every time you log in here. It's gotten annoying. Tired of it, now get a report.

 

[Demi-fiend]

I'd settle for a DMC3 Ultra Edition at this point.

 

[Foxtrot94]

I'd settle for a DMC3 Ultra Edition at this point.

Now, if that meant finally having a good PC port, I'd settle for it too.

Yo man, he didn't do anything to deserve a report. Chill.
