I did like that the camera almost swings through the level geometry about a minute in. And that he gets an almost bullet time thing, when he dodges an enemy attack, because that's what Bayonetta does, except in Bayo it has a point and actually allows the player to slow down time. It's not just "hey, have slow down for dodging that attack " it's a pointless indicator that doesn't really add anything...that we know of...yet. Regarding bosses, I hope they go along the older DMC route of introducing the regular enemies as if they were like mini-bosses of sorts. You know, with a grandiose cutscene, allowing the player to get a good look at them before they attack. If I had to guess other bosses, well, probably that Lilith woman, Mundus, and a handful of unknown others. Being optimistic. Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Aug 10, 2012 |

Oh, those characters leaked from that Playstation Super Smash Melee Battle Brawl Royale with Cheese thing? Pretty much confirmed as a genuine leak. quote:Today, SuperBot Entertainment President Chan Park posted on the PlayStation Blog to speak about the beta for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, which is set to go wide before the game’s release. As for Dante's other upcoming crossover: Crossovers are strange beasts indeed. Urgh. That is such a clusterfuck of things. It's made me realise I really don't like the art style either. Reminds me too much of Chaos Wars. And they're apparently calling it "Project Cross Zone", rather than "Project Echks Zone". Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Aug 10, 2012 |

Believe me, I wish I could post things and go "wow that looks really cool!", or "This makes me want to buy the game!". Or even something like "Platinum Games annouces Bayonetta 2 - Now with more assbutts and action!" Not, any of the things we've seen, like the recent trailer, or the rehashed Heavenly Sword controls or the really smug, self-masturbatory attitude of the developers, convinced that they are making a wonderful thing that will be hailed as the next greatest innovation in video games. There's five months still to go before the game will be released, but with every new thing they show, it just keeps looking to be loving boring and bland as poo poo. Less DMC, and more a DMC-lite clone. Less a chance for Ninja Theory and Capcom to show off that they've made a good solid game, than a chance for them to say "look at this artistic statment we've made. Aren't we both great." I don't like posting things that make me cringe at how loving terrible the writing is (despite that being one of their primary focuses), or how so desperately hard they're trying to convince people that this is a DMC gamem, and not something that really should have been a new IP. I'd much rather be saying how much I'm looking forward to it, and how fluid the combat seems, and how the mechanics are fresh and innovative. But they're not giving me a chance, dammnit Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Aug 11, 2012 |

I feel like it's kind of a waste that they paired Dante with Demitri instead of Frank West, but Frank West Hsien-Ko is almost good enough to make up for that. Anyways, Capcom you already hired a company to handle a new IP with great visuals and whatnot, their names were CC2. They know ho well Asura's Wrath sold and why it didn't sell that well, beyond it being a niche game, nobody wanted to play a game that was all style and no substance. DmC is you guys retreading already trodden ground, although whereas Asura's Wrath at least had a unique story, interesting characters, and fantastic visuals, DmC manages to do gently caress all in any of those departments except good visuals. Really, this all could've been avoided if Capcom didn't think "Let's hand one of our most popular properties to some guys whose visuals we really like, a property that's all very gameplay" and instead just supported a new IP for them. Knowing Capcom though, it was to for sure make the money back by just using DMC's name. And yes, I know this game was announced before Asura's Wrath, but it would help if Capcom actually looked at that and saw that this is a pretty similar case.

This is of little interest to the pair in the centre of the battlefield, whose fight involves a pizza being sliced an eaten in mid-air, bullets being deflected by a blown kiss, and a sword being sliced in half, only to reveal a bigger sword inside. Then some kid walks towards them, and says "My name is Dant..." just before he is shot by both of them simultaneously.

notZaar posted:You can never place too much faith in other people. True. Even if that faith means "I have faith that you'll inevitably gently caress this up". This game may not be the DMC sequel fans want but I'm willing to believe, at the very least, it'll be an OK action game. Ridiculous and puerile politicking story aside, that is.

Yeah there's nothing really about it I'd call bad, it's hardly the worst thing ever made ever it just looks generic. The story and writing can go gently caress itself but eh that's not exactly rare in action games. If it were called Heavenly Sword 2 I'd be considering picking it up, as it is though it's firmly on my "I'll get around to renting this when I can't think of anything else I want from LoveFilm" list.

DmC Producer Discusses Reboot And How They Made Gameplay Feel Like Classic DMC posted:While DmC has a completely different look and a reimagined Dante, it feels like, well Devil May Cry. That was my first impression after slicing through enemies in the game’s tutorial level and defeating the Succubus boss in DmC. Since the core gameplay is essentially the same my first question for Motohide Eshiro, producer of DmC and the Ace Attorney Investigation games, and Hideaki Itsuno, director of DmC and Devil May Cry 2, was why they wanted to reinvent Dante. source:http://www.siliconera.com/2012/08/10/dmc-producer-on-the-reboot-and-how-they-made-this-game-just-like-classic-dmc/ Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Aug 12, 2012 |

It's a wonderful kind of damage control for them really. A win-win; if this works out, they're laughing to the bank. If it flops harder than the Tameem's quiff, then it'll be, "look at those Ninja Theory fools! Look at what they did to DMC By the way, we had no part of this however, we have-LOOK DMC5!

So how do you fire your guns? Y-button as well? You can see in that video how the lack of lock on is already biting them in the rear end. That blue orb swing mechanic needs tightening as well. Seriously, without lock on you should just hook onto the closest one so long as you jump in its general direction and tap the whatever button hooks you on the drat thing. If they keep em as they are, it will cause no end of frustration.
