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

its only the truth..and here.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

NO.

IES!

UE4=DmC2! itshappening.gif aww yiss

 

[Acquiescence]

Excellent news. I'm up for some next-gen Ninja Theory, whatever it is they're working on. I mean I'd love a DmC 2, but there's no place for stealth mechanics in such a game so it must be something else.

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.

I'm intrigued.

Munich Filmfest.

Tells you all you need to know about Ninja theory. Show your newest tech at a fucking film festival. Keep these people away from Devil May Cry.

 

[Rolf NB]

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

More like, there's noone at Ninja Theory Ninja Theory would hire.

Okay so Deadelic,Rovio,4A Games and Thatgamecompany is also shit? Goooooood to know. Tameem and Deadelic were the only ones who were talking about gameplay elements. Thatgamecompany was just "That feel. Feel.Feel.Feel everywhere. Emotions".

 

[ZenTzen]

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

not really, its a pretty average run of the mill HnS with the occasional prettier environment ridind on the DMC name

No, but they don't need to be working on Devil May Cry, which I think was his point.

Speaking of which it sounds like this is not DmC2, so I think I can safely return to ignoring this studio and their output

In the context of making mechanic heavy, twitch action games?

But yeah im sure to check out angry bird combo videos sometime.

Hows that Journey boss run video coming along?

gamers are just going to have to come to terms with big budget triple A games aiming for the cinematic experience. Unless gamers show that Bayonetta-like games will sell just as well.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

The last DMC was decent, but personally I would rather something else.

What about Heavenly Sword 2? Isnt that franchise due for a sequel?

 

[pants]

shooting, melee combat or stealth mechanics

Please dont be Syphon Filter
Please dont be Tenchu
Please dont be any IP I like

 

[-tetsuo-]

Metal Gear Rising 2. New studio for each game confimed.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Shooting and stealth mechanics? Unless DmC is undergoing a genre change, it's not DmC 2. "Shooting mechanics" =/= 3 weapons with 8 moves in total.

Can't be any worse than the first one

...well....this is Ninja Theory

 

[Drencrom]

You guys asking for another DmC are horrible people, I'm making a list.

 

[dark_inferno]

Guys... what if its... The Last of Us 2?

They already worked on a Sony exclusiv title.


Just kidding. Keep hatin'.

DMC4 2.5 million Sold


DmC 1.1 Million


So much for "Cinematic Experiences" selling more.

It got hate from the first moment. There were people who feared it could be not fun. So they didnt bought it. And in a few Summer Sales they have their 2.5 millions sold.

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

Just gif it to itsune please.

Their track record is shit so i'm not hyped in the least.

I want Tameen/Ninja Theory No where near that gem! Don't even joke about that kinda shit!

First post nails it, as usual!

A Ninja Theory Syphon Filter would be incrediballs.

Add me.

There track record is the bad version of games that already exist. Seriously. Aside from kung fu chaos, just meh to bad versions of things that are already things.

You know you want it :3 Dat game was great.

 

[Foffy]

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

Is this because all of the qualities that people loved of Devil May Cry have migrated to Bayonetta?

 

[dark_inferno]

I want Tameen/Ninja Theory No where near that gem!

But what if... just imagine this : They make Last of Us 2 and its even better than the first one. Would you stop hating them? You couldnt... because you boycot the game right from the first moment.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

But what if... just imagine this : They make Last of Us 2 and its even better than the first one.

That would require a level of talent and craftmanship unseen in any previous NT game

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

I gave DmC a shot and the story was absolute garbage due to how much was promised and how much it under delivered. Ninja Theory is only good at stories when they outsource. Their actual writers are a joke.

As a fan of devil may cry, this statement isnt true.

There is none of that there for me.

That is

really hard to imagine

and I don't hold The last of Us up on any sort of pedestal

 

[Foffy]

Please dont be Tenchu

Tenchu is pretty dead, dude. And let's be fair, they'd have more manpower to make a decent Tenchu game than Acquire does. I'd actually be down for this, as the biggest thing holding back Tenchu are the developers From gets to make games.

 

[Jay-T]

Loved DmC, I hope this is a new IP, just don't focus too much on stealth pls

 

[dark_inferno]

That would require a level of talent and craftmanship unseen in any previous NT game

You cant even imagine this?

Tell me exactly what was shit. And try not to say edgy and emo.

 

[Reallink]

Next-Gen DMC2 on UE4 would be amazing, I'd buy 3 copies. DMC was the best action game of the generation.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Have they retained at least a LITTLE of what Itsuno and company were teaching them about competant action games for this?

 

[Village]

You cant even imagine this?

It isnt as hard as you think it is

 

[Necrovex]

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

Nah. Make it Heavenly Sword 2, and I'll be happy.

Spoiler

I enjoyed DMC, but I love Heavenly Sword so much more.

I dont particularly like Naughty dog games but even i can see clearly that Ninja theory even on their best day could never ever hope to come near the brillance of the worse naughty dog game.

They do have the potential to be a better studio than quantum dream however, if they could get their games to actually sell.

Vergil's heel face turn at the end for starters

It reminded me of Two Face in the dark knight. His progression to evil makes absolutely no logical sense. It's just accepted because of how that character was in the source material.

In fact saying that DmC is the summer blockbuster version of a Devil May Cry game is a pretty apt analogy I think

 

[Astarte]

DmC2/DMC5, please. ;_;

RIP Uncle Dante, you'll never be seen again.
As sayeth the man of words, "Fornicate thou"

Yeah i can understand that. The Vergil fight was also not bug free. I think they just throw it in for the sake of having it in for fans.

Try to sell your games everyone hates right from the beginning. I dont think NT came to Capcom and said : "Hey we want to make a DMC game."
And changing the look right after the fans were crying would only speak AGAINST NT.

anything that is not my anime husbandu-Dante is poopy.

I hope you know that NT are from england right? Making Anime games in europe is like japan finally doing some good writing stuff.

 

[Lulubop]

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

and it probably is

I doubt it.

 

[Mr. X]

Another game where they blow all their resources on the actors and mocap and none on the gameplay or script.

 

[flaxknuckles]

I hope they're working on their own game and bringing all the combat system knowledge they gained from DmC so they can finally shed their downright terrible reputation.

It sucks how people seem to want them to fail, instead of hoping they improve so we can get more great games.
