Now the word "Change" can mean many things.
1) Natural changes that happen to a character. Such as Snake in Metal Gear Rising. Snake is old.
2) Change in direction for a game. Such as a reboot, character change etc.
I wanted to say that because i have read many times people in DmC controversy has said "Fans are afraid of change" without stating what kind of change.
When Nero became main character of DMC 4 you never saw me go "OMG get that dumb ass out of the DMC stage!". No i did not do that so that should say that i, CoolDemon, am not afraid of change.
Anyhow on to the main point (Change #2):
The Legacy of Kain is a game serie that i like alot. And i like Blood Omen 2 the most. The people who made this game did a good job. And so if Blood Omen 3 is handed to developers and people who have not worked with Blood Omen 2 then i will be "Darn".
I hope that Blood Omen 3 (rumours with high probability that it's coming) will be designed by many of the people who made Blood Omen 2.
I liked Devil May Cry 1 alot. And every since Hideki (who by the way seems to have MAJOR role) left Capcom DMC story and characters went down drain.
Sure Dante kept being "Dante" to certain degree, but the story that i liked alot was killed. In DMC 3 and 4 Dante became more of a cheesy cool line character.
So when Hideki was no longer in the team i feel that the story and the presence of Dante in DMC went away.
So i will ask this question:
Have you ever wondered how DMC 2 story (and evetually 3 and 4) would be like with Hideki? would it be better you think?
By the way vote in the poll.
P.S I wish we had cutscenes of Dante and Vergil when they were kids. :/
I too feel that way. DMC1 felt like playing a movie in the form of a video game, and that's what attracted me to it for that. Then DMC2 came and it kind of felt like a drag to get through. It felt like a downloadable game like Infamous: Festival of Blood, it wasn't really part of the story, it was extra gameplay. DMC3 was the best DMC to me, but it kind of lacked that ingenuity that DMC1 was badass for. Also, while I was playing it for so long, I kind of realized DMC3 was kind of Capcom's version of "Inuyasha" an anime about a half breed demon, killing demons. Inuyasha had white long hair, a red outfit, and a large sword. See?:
They kind of do have a small similarity in story, mythology and the fact that both their fathers are demon legends and both end up fighting their brothers.
Then there was DMC4. Nero was actually my favorite character in that game, still is. I felt they cheated Dante fans though. Yeah you could use Dante and be stylish, but all you do with him is back track from playing as Nero. The story for DMC4 was more like an anime, in fact, the game reminded me too much of Bleach, a very popular anime series. (Look it up) Plus, Nero and Ichigo are way too much alike. Both have that narrow eyebrow expression almost all the time, both use large swords, and both get katanas when the wanna get serious. Hell, they're both voiced by the same guy!:
Nero(DMC4) and Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)
And Kyrie and Orihime look alike as well. They're voiced by the smae girl too!:
They practically look like twins!!
I still like the games though, just sayin'.
Now for DmC: Devil May Cry. It feels nothing like DMC1 at all from what I've seen. But the game hasn't come out yet so I can't really say, however the new Dante looks like a character out of a movie so I guess I'm likin' that. Plus I looove the jacket he wears! It's flippin' cool! So anyway, change is good and bad; depending on what you want.
Sorry, Inuyasha pic didn't come up!
