I like how the city is crumbling upward. It reminds me of the beginning of the conception, only more colorful.

 

[Anteater]

That pic in smaller size is kind of nice, still don't like his haircut though

 

[quinntendopower]

god this looks so shit

even as a joke i don't know if i can play it

 

[electroshockwave]

I can't stop looking at dat angel ass and thigh every time I come into this thread. If it was the boxart my fapping hand might take control and buy the game when I'm not looking.

 

[flintstryker]

man the framerate sure suck in that video, At least this new look is only 80% shit rather than 100%

 

[Chamber]

I want the boxart day one. They can keep the game disc.

Yeah, i'm getting a Dark City vibe from it. Judging from the last trailer, i get the impression that's where they're taking the story. In the sense that the demon's have created an artificial city that morphs and shifts around to keep the humans captive.

 

[IC_Champion]

So from what I've read in terms of its story, Dante is half-demon half-angel? That just throws the DMC canon out the window. Next thing you know, the archangels will act as his uncles.

I mean in the original DMC's, only humans and demons co-existed in the same world. You add angels to the mix and it just takes out what was a "unique" concept. This reminds me of the Prophecy series sans Christopher Walken.

I am glad this is a "Re-Birth" and not apart of any official DMC canon.

[Dahbomb]

Yeah we can pretty much confirm that this ain't canon to the OG DMC series. As far as story goes, anything is fair game at this point.

Maybe Sparda is the main villain like Vader lol. Can't wait for the eventual "DANTE I AM YOUR FATHER" moment.

 

[PaddyOCanager]

Hm, seems to be a lot of hate regarding this game. I gotta say, as a non-fan of the series this is the first DMC game I've been interested in since, well, DMC (loved it btw, just not interested in the sequels).

Sparda as final boss who was behind everything! Wait this sounds like metal gear...

In regards to the Angel Groupie art, who made it? I am having trouble making out the signature in the lower right hand corner.

I want to say it's Alessandro Taini. http://www.talexiart.com/

He's the art director for the game and NT's previous games.

We've come full circle! :O

Mangled angles regarding fabled angels.

 

[Smellycat]

He looks like a mix of Hayden Christensen and Ashton Kutcher

 

[huggles]

Eh, I kinda get what he's saying. The male dominance thing wasn't really Dante's schtick. It was more about being a playboy. Never taking himself too seriously, and making suggestive remarks to women.

There's a level of female submissiveness in the art that you don't often see in DMC because women are usually depicted as powerful, capable of fighting back. DMC women debatably are more domineering than Dante is (Kyrie excepted, but she's still not submissive).

That said, I don't mind the art. I think it fits with the direction the new game is trying to go in.

Was gonna post this basically. There is a somewhat of a respect going on in the way Dante treats the ladies of the series. If they can handle it and fight back, he wouldn't be against fighting just the same.

I think what really puts up the male dominance flag is the gun gesture to the angel's head when you consider the obviously sexual position that particular angel is in.

 

[dark_chris]

I think the game is looking better. =)

 

[Anteater]

Call me shallow but if they fix his hair, I'm totally ok with his design

 

[Vice]

So much swag on this cover.

 

[Caelestis]

Not sure if anyone else thought so too, but his face looks a ton like the main character from Prison Break now.

 

[Goon Boon]

If this bombs after this un-emoing of Dante, they will blame the fan feedback for the bad sales. That's my prediction.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Is it me or does the angel he's shooting in the head have an enormous torso?

 

[Anteater]

I'm not entirely sure what Capcom wants with the sales tbh, it's not a hating dmc thing, but NT's games didn't really sell that good, and they're pissing off their hardcore fans with this, we'll have to see I guess.

 

[Big Chungus]

Their feet are dirty.

 

[First Name]

They'll blame the fans no matter what, probably. That seems to be their MO with this game.

 

[Jeels]

I accept this Dante. Now let's see if Ninja Theory can actually do the series justice.

[ezekial45]

Hopefully they'll announce something new at TGS as well. I'm hoping for something like the previous DMC TGS trailers where they showed off both the narrative and gameplay.

 

[Jeels]

Would buy the game with that new artwork cover.

Doubt that would happen though, the artwork just has too much win.

 

[Arcblade]

Hey now - it's OUR fault Mega Man is dead.

*drinks some more Capcom-Aid*

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I have to say... I like it what I saw. I came to the realization that I never played dmc for gameplay alone. And if the story takes itself more seriously, I'm cool with that. Come at me!

 

[benzy]

Yeah... fuck that frame rate and this game. I wonder if the control input lag will be on the level of Enslaved and Heavenly Sword.

 

[Sadist]

Bitch It's not going to suck itself?

 

[AuthenticM]

Yup, they totally redesigned Dante. I guess that vain fucker Tameen picked up on people noticing the new Dante looked like himself.

 

[AgentChris]

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Hopefully they'll announce something new at TGS as well. I'm hoping for something like the previous DMC TGS trailers where they showed off both the narrative and gameplay.

Yeah, I'm already fairly confident the combat won't be so great, but if they've got interesting ideas about the story and the world I'm open to it.

The new screenshots definitely look better, and maybe it's just because I'm used to seeing new Dante at this point, but I don't think there's anything particularly offensive about his design. Yeah, it's not old Dante, but I didn't give a fuck about how old Dante looked either. I was in it purely to slash faces.

Yup, they totally redesigned Dante. I guess that vain fucker Tameen picked up on people noticing the new Dante looked like himself.

Didn't you see the posts much earlier in the thread that are supposed to demonstrate that they still look similar? They don't, of course, it's just people seeing what they want to see. New Dante's hair is now pretty generic, so there's nothing remarkable about an actual person having similar hair, and on top of that, it's not actually that similar anyway. Nothing compared to the pic you posted.

I wish I could punch this guy.
Such a stupid move.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

1.game looks nice In terms of art, but still not digging the style and tone

2. Still lacking gameplay footage and details.

3. Yes that angels artwork looks good, but don't care for it and for those of you wanting to be the cover:

If it makes it, it will be on the Japanese version and US will get the shit version again!

 

[Rahxephon91]

Well art wise it looks solid, even if the character design still is terrible. Gameplay wise, that's up in the air. This is just a trailer and this trailer still does not look as good as past DMC. It looks very mashy, which pretty much would describe Enslaved to a T with some a few mix ups with a grapple move and gunplay.

This project could go either way, but I can't say I'm very excited about it.

 

[gunbo13]

This project could go either way, but I can't say I'm very excited about it.

It's more fun following along before release. It's not like the game will actually be worth playing. pffft

 

[Totobeni]

Is it me or the artwork got quoted more than the actual screenshots.

Best distracting technique ever, Capcom need to hire the artist to do a Dragon Dogma artwork next time so people at least have something good to see and talk about.

 

[Acquiescence]

That is so fucking good man. Maybe it's a bit hyperbolic to say so, but I would buy the game based on that cover alone (plus the fact that I think Ninja Theory have a good track record, even if they aren't suitable for the DMC franchise.) You can bet a hefty wager that whatever Capcom decides to release as the official cover art won't be anywhere near as good. It'll probably just be a close-up of Dante looking all brooding while weilding dual pistols; something utterly generic like that.

 

[PairOfFilthySocks]

Framrate looks sub-30 in the youtube video.

Pretty cover though.

Edit: wait, is it the official cover or not?

Edit 2: It's not. Back to raging scepticism.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

I really think the game play will be more accessible, more mashy and hack and slash. It can go the route of more adventure focused. This makes sense given their aim and how capcom is okay using the Unreal Engine.

I would not be surprised if this plays different in terms of details and nuances from the DMC we have come to know. And again this makes sense why NT is chosen.

They are making an action adventure game using the fame and lore of DMC, and they are not making a DMC game

It might really help if we stop thinking we are getting a DMC game in terms of combat and mechanics. I think we are not

 

["God's Beard!"]

COVER IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooood

You could adjust more sales expectations on that cover than the ostrich hammer.

 

[badcrumble]

I do love that art (and that cover mockup). Perfect top attitude.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Is it me or the artwork got quoted more than the actual screenshots.

There is a reason for this.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

nevermind

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Goddamn.

Smooth-ass looking Dante surrounded by beautiful half-naked angles, that cover would be so hot!
