A Sparda game where he's incredibly posh would be amazing, especially the insults. Sparda: "You low horotious lump of fecal horror, you maniac bastardly turd, I would rather drink stale urine from Norman Fowler's arspit than remain one moment more in your defiling company. You're filth, you're cack, you're the ooze of burst boil. I abominate you, you cowering mound of corrupted slime. Your every utterant is like the slithering hiss of a fat maggot in the putrid guts of a decomposing rat. Your face is fouler than the unwiped inner ring of Satan's rectum!" Poison: "FUCCCKKKKK YOOOOUUUUUU!" (Boss fight begins) You know what? Ninja Theory should just dub all of Dante's lines and do this.

When you DT appropriate classical music plays for the duration and your already ornate-looking clothes and weapons take a step up the posh ladder. (And the monocle gets really demonic/organic-looking.)

Sparda doesn't need a DT, he's already 100% demon. Aw yeah.

Neurosis posted:Dante from 12 years ago is cool in the way cheesy overblown action stars from the '80s were. 'It would look silly' in real life is a stupid argument given Dante IS an ultra manly superhero who fucks everything up without breaking a sweat. It's funny that NT claims their Dante and their DmC is "punk," then follows the trends of generic mainstream character design/characterization and generic hack'n'slash gameplay when old Dante would continue to stand out in the market. Old Dante is more punk (I'm kind of stretching the term but go with me) without even trying.

I'm cracking up either way, because I suspect Capcom "westernizing their franchises" just means instead of making Okami they want to make God of War with Japanese mythology. You know, because if there's one thing there isn't enough of it's ultraviolent empowerment fantasy action games.

Onimusha is honestly closer to NT's alley than DMC. The slower pace, the emphasis on cinematic-style, the "hey look at our photo-realistic actor replica" stuff... hell, it makes me wonder why they didn't do that in the first place.

The slower pace, the emphasis on cinematic-style, the "hey look at our photo-realistic actor replica" stuff... hell, it makes me wonder why they didn't do that in the first place. Because Onimusha is Japanese as all get out. Even the one half based in France. Also I like the Tank-y controls and I totally see NT taking offense to them. If I were Capcom I would seriously reconsider handing older IP to NT. Informally hand them the IP as a guideline but not allow them to use any of the IP proper. Now as it stands, NT really does have the visual prowess to deliver another Okami, but In story, character and gameplay they fall completely flat. All of their titles had laughable story, unlikable characters and stiff uninspired gameplay. Never mind that part of the draw of Okami that it deals with Japanese culture and myth.

The more I hear about DMC the more convinced I am that Ninja Theory has no loving idea how to make a good character action game. They just keep doing Heavenly Sword over and over again because they are convinced it's an amazing game despite only selling well while it was an exclusive PS3 game during a time where there were hardly any games coming out. I have no doubt there are developers on the team who played DMC3 or 4 but seem to have no understanding of what made those games great. So they just go "Well we have juggles! And a devil trigger! That's it right?" I don't think they have any understanding why you want a manual lock on in these kinds of games and it seems like if something comes up in all these interviews they just point to Capcom and blame it on them. Call me cynical but I loving hate the games that Ninja Theory makes and to me they are a rather terrible developer so I'd really rather not see Ninja Theory smear poo poo all over Onimusha too.

The combat is more accessible, but no less deep Actual content: Hardcore sucking off of Ninja Theory posted:DmC, Ninja Theory's reboot of Devil May Cry, has been a controversial beast from the off. In fact it's fair to say that a very loud group of the series' fans have not been happy about it at all. Some have been doubtful of the British developer's ability to deliver the polish the series requires. Some have seemed unconvinced that any western developer could successfully pick up such a demanding and quintissentially Japanese action series. Many have just used the new Dante's hair colour as shorthand with which to vent every possibly fear and paranoia under the sun.

I now have a sudden urge to go to GamesRader's offices, and force them to play through Devil May Cry 1,3 and 4 on Dante Must Die difficulties until they get it into their head about what the series really is. And some of those comments arguing for accessibility. Hell, that's fine by me, casualisation of a series that has core roots is dumb, this game...is dumb.

I thought that things couldn't get anymore accessible than that Auto mode they had in 4. Complex moves are simplified, as well as giving you the extras like EX'd attacks. Handholding, sure, but still letting you get a good deal at the game. It sounds like they're confusing 'accessible' with 'less difficult'. Is there any magazine publication that isn't stuck up Ninja Theories' arse?

There's very, very few online ones that have actually listed the general mood that most people have towards it (i.e it's an average action game - but not up to DMC standards). One of those was a five or ten hour preview, the other was a gaming podcast. Destructoid likes or dislikes it according to how controversial them liking or disliking it would be. As for forums, I'm surprised at just how many are united in loving hatred for this game. Someone somewhere compared it to Other M, in just how negative the opinion of it is.
