Same. Old. poo poo. Tameem interview: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2012-dmc-devil/731027 This is literally the exact same stuff they've been parroting for months and months. New poo poo. Gameplay Footage (auf deutsch) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sK4MhRSh-io With the bug-monster boss. And it looks as slow as gently caress. [e]: And here is apparently the logo for "The Order":  How subtle of them, if this is genuine. Jesus. loving. Christ.  It's trying to be so hip and cool and modern, but it's really like a forty year old Dad trying so desperately to be down with the kids at a disco, that it's just a big loving embarrassment. Goddamn.  What's next? Dante tweeting a lolcat to Mundus? Pesky Splinter fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Jun 5, 2012 |

To me that just says to me that the game is bad and they're just padding it with swears to get the dumb edgy crowd. Which tells me the game is not going to be very good!

If the best they have to offer in terms of gameplay is that stale fart of a trailer then it looks like this game is gonna be pretty boring. The sword air combo is so slow. Also "A Combo Rank = Anarchic"? GTFO Ninja Theory.

Given some of Capcom's recent decisions, I'm just glad that we are getting a new Devil May Cry game. Compared to what Mega Man fans have to put up with, I'd prefer a new game, weird as it may be, over none at all. When I play this, I'll just pretend that the character being called Dante is just a coincidence.

They've honestly gone out of their way to show anything in-depth or interesting about the combat, focusing either on the tutorial (which was slow and uninteresting, but it's a tutorial) or the storyline. If they had actual in-depth combat I'd really feel like they would have given us more by now. Even early DMC3 trailers were like "Yeah, we've got a plo... LOOK AT ALL OUR WEAPONS AND COMBOS." We keep seeing the same similar-looking action sequences in brief snippets. Show up something from at least the midgame and make it look good and suddenly people will have their concerns alleviated. If they're worried more about spoilers than making their game look good, well, that makes their priorities clear. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Jun 6, 2012 |

Demo at 4 hours 54 mins http://e3.gamespot.com/live-show/ Summation: * Vitality drink is literally Slurm from Futurama, right down to coming from the end of a slug monster. Hurray for originality! * SOCIAL SATIRE SEE HOW MODERN AND HIP AND COOL WE ARE  * gently caress YOU! gently caress YOU! NO gently caress YOUUUUUU! *vomits* * The combat is slow. As. gently caress. * The combat looks easy. As. poo poo. * The combat looks clunky. As. Hell. * "So you're hoping this will have the amazing combat the series has, combined with your story telling". * "We wanted Dante to be unpolished. He's young, a little unpolished" (in regards to character). * The lack of a lock on target seems to be causing difficulties for whoever is playing this, they seem to be missing the mark quite a lot. * Devil Trigger looks poo poo. * Weapon/Ability upgrades will become available during the game. * "Combat system has depth" (none of which is loving shown during the video) * Made it so that expert players can play it, but not scaring away casual players. * "All our bosses are pretty epic, so if anything [the bug boss] is at the shallower end of the pool" * Bug boss is named "Poison". And this boss section is a 1/3 of the way through the game. This is what the combat will be like for the majority of it. ABANDON ALL HOPE! Urgh. I've gone through cycles of disliking the game, feeling optimistic it'll work, disliking it even more, thinking that maybe it won't turn out to be so bad, and now I'm right back to really disliking it. Urgh...

Did I hear them right? That's the first boss and it's about a third of the way through the game? That's worrying. I take that to mean there are either very few bosses or it is a very short game. I don't think any previous game took more than maybe 20 minutes to get you to the first boss.

You know, when you think about the development history of Ninja Theory this is hardly a surprise. 2003- Kung Fu Chaos --> A lovely "party" game for XBox. 2007- Heavenly Sword --> A clunky (if pretty) action-brawler with a novel control scheme that involved holing different triggers to activate different combat stances. Fun enough, but tedious compared to superior, more aggressive action games. 2010- Enslaved: Odyssey To The West --> A game with a beautiful art style, great graphics, an engaging storyline, and likeable characters. Unfortunately the combat is basically "QTE: The Game". The game is rewarding enough overall to warrant one slog through, though. Point being, I don't know what the FUUUUCK (<--See how edgy and clever I am NT? Hire me.) Capcom was thinking handing the development of a game known and loved for its tight action to a developer who has demonstrated that they don't do action. All of their games worth playing are really carried by their narrative and visual design. Furthermore, DMC games don't even lend themselves to particularly fascinating narratives- they tend to be at about the level of a Motörhead music video. And that's fine- that's what I bloody want, dammit! I'm not looking for a story when I play a DMC game, much less a hammy-hamfisted attempt at being subversive/edgy. I'm hoping the game just bombs at this point so Capcom doesn't pull this bullshit again. Of course, I could be wrong about the whole deal and they're just withholding the actual gameplay? Seems like a bad hype move if that's true though... sorry for rambling. Monkey Fracas fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Jun 6, 2012 |

This is the most worrying thing. The biggest drat fear of everyone involved is "this gameplay is going to be lovely." They keep saying "No, we know the gameplay is going to be good, we swear," and then they've shown us: A) A tutorial B) A pretty lackluster boss fight C) A few out of context clips which tend to be focused on a few repetitive moves. All they have to do, literally all they have to do, is show a good, engaging, interesting combat sequence. Just one. That will alleviate a lot of concerns, or at least prove certain fears unfounded.

I feel like with DMC3 they talked a shitload about the four styles and how it was going to bring DMC back to its roots. And with DMC4 they talked a lot about the Devil Bringer and how that would add a new dimension to combat as well as on the fly style switching. With DmC they've basically said "No trust us the combat is totally deep".

That boss fight seems pretty standard for DMC bosses, I just hate its screeching voice. The combat speed looks to be about the same speed as DMC4. Go back and replay that game if you don't believe me, it's practically sluggish unless you turn on turbo. I hope this game has a turbo mode.

I don't know why, but Dante's voice acting really grated on my nerves in this trailer. Like, if they wanted to go for a younger Dante approach, why not use Johnny Yong Bosch like they did with Nero? The guy they chose was dealing with atrocious lines ("I am Dante, but you can call me Dante the Demon-hunter") and I don't think anyone could've done it well, but maybe the could have made it tolerable. Combat still looks lovely as ever, Capcom should've just outsourced it to Platinum Games, given that that studio has shown consistently great gameplay in their games. Though Capcom have been making batshit choices for years now, so who knows what's up with handing this off to Ninja Theory. I'll probably rent this just to see how bad the story is and then forget about it forever.

Main US site is up. http://www.devilmaycry.com/index.php It only has a trailer. Stream of Demo is up now: http://pt-br.twitch.tv/capcomunity/b/320560252 Summation: * Freedom Fighters/terrorist poo poo. * Dante not actually a sexual deviant.  * Bobbing camera. * Gimmick enemies. * Green orbs appear. * Story is done - focusing on the combat until release. * Vergil is neither confirmed or denied. * No exact date for PC release. * Kat is a "stencil artist witch", and can create portals for Dante back into the real world. Controls:  *Combat still looks clunky as poo poo. QTEs aren't there, but the angel/demon chain things might as well be QTEs. They didn't want QTEs or to resemble God of War. * HUD is not finalised. * NO TAUNT BUTTON!  * PC specs not decided yet. Will be available for Xbox and PS3. * More guns. * Idea of Limbo comes from "They live", and from time immemorial. *cough*Mysteriousdestiny*cough* * Theme and concept of "rebellion". That is to say, rebellion against the establishment. It's also why street art is a big influence of the design. WE'RE HIP AND COOL I PROMISE  * Varying difficulties.

Two Evade buttons? They serious had a completely unused button just sittin' there, waiting for a lockon, and they slapped a function on it that they already had a button for? I cannot think of a single reason you'd need two buttons for Evade. Does the Left Bumper make you dodge left and the right one goes right? That sounds completely retarded, so I doubt that's the reason. The stupid half angel/half demon thing still only makes me think of that one horrible Painkiller expansion made from some dude's fanfic.

I really liked the enemy designs of DMC4. They were interesting, weird, and could look pretty intimidating, and they were also designed by the dude who art directed the breath of fire games. The enemies in this look like wannabe silent hill baddies.

Probably for additional comfort since dodge is such an important button. .. as opposed to customization, I guess, invalidating the need for two of the same.

Lots of Japanese publishers have been very open about giving franchises to American developers because of the massive numbers American developers can move. CoD set the bar crazy high and now a lot of publishers seem to think as long as they give it to an American company, regardless of the company's previous success rate, that they can get close to the new bar.

I didn't think anyone liked this piece of poo poo "reboot". Huh. There are things to like, the visuals, mostly. And, if the the game wasn't labelled as DMC, but a new IP, we wouldn't be anywhere near as harsh on it. But, because it is a DMC game, we judge it in comparison to the other DMC games, and Bayonetta. Is that fair? I'd say so. Would it be a good game if the DMC names were filed off? Probably, but in regards to how it compares...well, let's just say it looks like it's shaping up to be a bad DMC game. And really, the way it was marketed has had a really big impact of the initial reception. That very first trailer, they released...well, they certainly got off on the wrong foot and the wrong tone. And then they continued with slight digs at the other games, and then made the suicidal mistake of comparing it to Bayonetta. All the while promising things like a mature story, and blah blah blah. And then they revealed the most hilariously juvenile fan-fictionesque levels of bad writing and tonally inappropriate attempts at social commentary.
