Support NeoGAF

[Nirolak]

I'm sure DMC5 will have excellent bokeh effects.

For the UE4 note, not only does UE4 get mentioned in some of the job postings (along with other Unreal stuff), but one of their staff lists Unreal Engine 4 as a skill on LinkedIn now.

Daniele also knows about...

Unreal Engine 4

(Unreal Engine 3 is listed separately in the skills section, so presumably this is not a typo.)

[Dolphin_Butter]

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

 

[Drencrom]

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

NO.

 

[iavi]

I'm more than down for DmC2 on UE4. Gimme.

 

[TangerineCloud]

Can't wait to see what they create. I loved Enslaved. Hopefully they learned how to design better combat during their time with DmC and put those skills to use in this new game.

 

[rvy]

Stealth? Please don't be DmC 2.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

NO.

.

Honestly, If they get their grubby mitts on DMC again im done with the franchise for good.


I still dont believe it though.

 

[ezekial45]

Good, good. Happy to see their next project in full swing.

 

[dugdug]

Man, I hope its DmC 2. The tears will flow.

I'll be psyched, regardless of what it is.

 

[V_Arnold]

Whatever it will be, I will be there. Just make sure to apply what they learned with DmC.

 

[CambriaRising]

I'm in for DmC 2.

 

[pieatorium]

stealth shooting and melee eh?

MgS believe

 

[DXLelouch153]

its not DmC2
DMC doesnt have stealth mechanics
^i doubt Kojima would let his main series be outsourced by another company, unless it was Platinum

 

[Kade]

NO.

YES. I hope Ninja Theory becomes the home of all future Devil May Cry titles.

 

[CouchMaster]

A lot of "AAA" use in there, does NT even know what it means?

 

[Nirolak]

its not DmC2
DMC doesnt have stealth mechanics

Well, at least /so far/.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

hug all your favorite IP's and tell them it's going to be okay....

Spoiler

I'm scared

 

[Curufinwe]

Man, I hope its DmC 2. The tears will flow.

From Capcom when it sells half of what DmC did, which was already less than half what DMC4 sold.

 

[ALBOFIGHTER]

You gotta make AAA titles first before you make it a requirement for someone to have experience on it for them to work for you.

 

[Salsa]

stealth throws me off, but i'd be glad if it was DMC2 to be honest

and it probably is

 

[Pie and Beans]

Let them make a revitalised Strider their own or something, a series that doesnt come with 3d gameplay expectations. Just let DMC rest after the ill-advised reboot to come back with Dante and Nero and co when this is all forgotten.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

its not DmC2

^i doubt Kojima would let his main series be outsourced by another company, unless it was Platinum

Well it does now!

MWAHAHAHHAHA!

 

[ViewtifulJC]

-Good experience working on at least four successful projects

Yeesh, talk about overqualified

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

NO.

Yes...

 

[impact]

Yeesh, talk about overqualified

Seriously, they require you to have worked on four successful projects when NT themselves have never worked on one? The nerve.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeesh, talk about overqualified

Seriously, they don't even have one.

 

[Hypron]

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

Fuck. No.

NO.

I won't be too fussed if they make DmC 2 if Capcom somehow makes DMC5 themselves. But Ninja Theory making DMC5?

 

[ezekial45]

I don't see DmC2 from NT happening. I'm sure it sold well enough, and it reviewed very well, but I feel that they've move on to something else.

I see Capcom making DMC5 as the more likely scenario from this franchise. Unless they've completely moved on to something else.

 

[The Last Wizard]

new ip with beautiful world please

 

[AcceptableGhost]

some sort of nightmare

 

[DXLelouch153]

keep Tameem away from whatever it is or its doomed from the start due to his arrogance

 

[Kysen]

Seriously who keeps funding this studio? 3 bombas in a row and somehow they are pulling in projects left and right. If its DmC2 I'm done with the franchise, terrible developer.

 

[Rolf NB]

Melee/Shooting/Stealth? Rudimentary animation? Sounds like Enslaved.

 

[dark_inferno]

I'll be psyched, regardless of what it is.

Im not quite sure about that. Well here are some informations about the Techdemo i saw.

First : 16th century england streets. Than a girl starts singing. Man notice her and goes to her slowly. - Cut - Both in an elevator. Background is a steampunk city. She stops singing. Kiss. End.

Could result in a game (would like to see this Opera) or could result in nothing. Tameem said its not a big thing yet and was just a test for next gen.

And god damn it it looked beatiful. Cant present pictures of the trailer because no photos or videos allowed. But i have a proof that i was there.

What about Phil Fish? He is also a person full of arrogance. Do you like him?

DmC Zero: How Sparda Met Your Mother

 

[ezekial45]

They're reliable, competent, and their games have all been reviewed very well. After DmC, which was their highest reviewed product, they must've gotten a bunch if work lined up.

Sounds intriguing. Though it could be just for the purposes of the demo.

Where did you see this at?

 

[dark_inferno]

DmC Zero: How Sparda Met Your Mother

Clearly not. The design was completely different.

Sounds intriguing. Though it could be just for the purposes of the demo.

Where did you see this at?

Munich Filmfest. Last saturday.

 

[Elginer]

DmC 2 in 60fps with that Unreal 4 would be fun.

 

[HyperBitHero]

Their work with UE3 isn't impressive. Let's hope they do better this time.

 

[LordJim]

Hopefully it's an original project I can ignore

 

[EMT0]

This is one of the few developers that I don't have much interest in buying anything from.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Melee/Shooting/Stealth? Rudimentary animation? Sounds like Enslaved.

Hmmm. I think this sounds more likely.


pretty amazing they are still getting money out of publishers though. They most have one hell of a sales rep.

 

[VertPin]

Noooooooooooo PLEASE don't be DmC2. NO.

 

[velociraptor]

Seriously, they require you to have worked on four successful projects when NT themselves have never worked on one? The nerve.

To be fair Devil May Cry is actually a pretty damn good game despite the shitty characters.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

-Good experience working on at least four successful projects

Wait, so Ninja Theory isn't working on this?

 

[bangai-o]

Hopefully it's an original project I can ignore

you dont like developers making original games?

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

NO and DMC5 wouldn't even be possible. Do you honestly think that ninja theory could come up with a good combat system and non bland enemies?

 

[DieH@rd]

I would like another DmC. I enjoyed first one.
