So is angle = angel a meme now?

 

[Snaku]

They'd be stupid not to use that art as the cover for the inevitable "Limited Edition." I know I'd spend an extra $10 for a steelbook with that on it...or wait till Amazon clears out their inventory a month later for $20.

 

[Phoenixazure]

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.

Doesn't youtube only play vids at sub 30 anyway?

Downloading the BF3 trailer (at full 60fps) vs watching it on youtube made a hell of a lot of difference.

Hoping Gamesyde releases a direct feed trailer.

 

[Revolutionary]

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.

Good idea. To keep up with the theme of "pretentious drivel", it should feature nude female dragons with huge asses in the forefront, and the main character slapping one of them across the face with his dick.
So edgy and hip!

ESRB will be more than happy to cockblock you

 

[InfiniDragon]

Hahaha....wait what? People actually think the ESRB would let them put that on the cover?

If Catherine had censored versions of the covers, no way is that making it on there.

 

[i-Lo]

So much hate....

Anyway, I like the new trailer. As long as they keep the trademark combat control mechanics I will be fine.

If there was one cardinal rule that was violated, it was that they fucked with the canon (all this angel stuff).

 

[Zombie James]

Thought the ESRB only rated game content? Don't think they can tell publishers what their cover art should be.

You're wrong.

 

[GuardianE]

They most certainly can.

Lol.

 

[jbttwin]

Irrelevant to my interests.

ESRB wields a gigantic (insert appropriate anaology) over the game industry

 

[Zombie James]

You're wrong.

Well that's messed up, then.

One of the best replies I've seen in awhile.

 

[Danielsan]

Going to be honest here. I'm starting to warm up to this. At least they got rid of Franken Dante, and let's be real. We won't get Devil May Cry proper back, ever.
I've given up all hope in that regard by now.

I absolutely adored DMC3 and objectively I'd put it as the best game in the series. However, the original Devil May Cry will always be the best entry in the series to me and the series has strongly deviated from that perfect blend of survival horror, action packed combat and badass cheese that made DMC1 the classic that it is. Even if Capcom handled the new DMC in house it would never return to its former survival horror roots.

I'm interested to see where Ninja Theory takes the story and I'll just cross my fingers that the gameplay won't suck. Also that artwork needs to be the cover somehow. Just make it reversible if need be.

 

[Crazypanda_85]

I think the game (or the tech/art direction demo) looks really good. I'm glad that the new Dante doesn't look as Emo as the original redesign. Since it's not a PC game, I'm okay with the frame-rate not being that high. Either way, It looks like the Heavenly Sword crew is on a good path and I hope they can deliver on not only the look but also the mechanics and story.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

He looks like Ashton Kutcher to me:

Edit: I don't know what defines an emo looking guy, he has always looked like a Punk to me.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Dead or Alive Dimensions says otherwise.

 

[Nix]

Dante looks like a frat boy douche in that picture, about to have a foursome like a smarmy bastard.

An interesting picture, and it gets my attention, but damn, if I don't like what it stands for in relation to the game.

How do you guys think the story's gonna pan out?

 

[jett]

He looks identical to Hayden Christensen to me.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

Dead or Alive Dimensions says otherwise.

What were they gonna put for DoA. ?

 

[Jocchan]

I kid you not, with this cover I would be seriously tempted to buy the game, send the disc back to Capcom and keep the box (of course if the game ends up being as terrible as it seems).

 

[sixteen-bit]

More thigh. There was a thread about it.

Well the artwork is better than any of the screens or game play in motion stuff that they've shown so far for DmC.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Spoiler: Neither do most of the people saying it.

People are extrapolating wildly about his character based on very little information.

 

[Soulstar]

When am I going to learn to stay out of DmC threads.

 

[IC_Champion]

lol at the art that's getting more attention than the game's screens or trailer.

 

[Anteater]

Not too surprising, I liked the concept render that they released with the first gameplay videos than the actual videos they released, they have a long way to go.

 

[CadetMahoney]

When am I going to learn to stay out of DmC threads.

I am now tainted. I think i'll stay out of them for now too. lol.

 

[gunbo13]

So is angle = angel a meme now?

You run at ~26fps with new angles with angels.

I am now tainted. I think i'll stay out of them for now too. lol.

You'll be back.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Wasn't there fuss over ESRB censoring undeboob in the BlazBlue CS2 3DS cover too?

 

[GuardianE]

Yep. There was a shifting of characters to cover up both Makoto's underboob and Mu-12's ass.

 

[wrowa]

Could they please stop trying to redesign Dante?

They somehow manage to make him look worse in every new batch of screenshots.

I think they're just trying to fix his ingame model, he still doesn't look good but if you compare him to the first zombie dante, he's improving

 

[jett]

It's funny how Dante gets his two defining characteristics only in DT mode: white hair and a red coat. I don't get why they made the game like that.

I'm pretty certain Youtube can pull off a better framerate than what we saw there. Have they let anyone actually play the game yet? What's it's release date?

 

[fernoca]

Really like the artwork and the new pics look nice. Then again, I tend to like stuff that not many like; so whatever. I guess.

 

[shadyspace]

I loved the old design. Dude looked unhinged. New design is a smug asshole.

 

[Desi]

I did prefer the weakened meth look from before. but I do agree that new angel art would make a great cover.

You and me both, bro.

One does not require the Eye of Agamotto to see this outcome.

That is just some awesome artwork... and I seriously want to go to heaven now. As for the game, I think the combat looks great so far and have absolutely no problem with them trying to reboot the series with something fresh. Then of course, I actually like Ninja Theory as well, so it is a given that I would have interest in this game.

 

[Nora Kisaragi]

It's called following the canon.

Read the books for Dante's origin story, which this game is based off.

 

[Jomjom]

Every time I see the title for this game it reminds me of the Delorean, and then I wish we had more BTTF games.

 

[Dali]

So more like dante then. Gotcha.

He's a super-powered half demon kid. The DMC series kind of makes it obvious this guy is a near indestructable super killer that's fully aware of how powerful he is and revels in it. I imagine the younger he was the more of an arrogant prick he'd be. Actually I don't even have to use my imagination. Just play dmc 3. The original methhead Rihante design was miles away from anything that dante had been built up to be.

I should have phrased that better: Smug asshole characters can be cool but the redesign LOOKS like a smug asshole. That ain't cool.
