If that's true, they're totally fucking with canon now? Okay, yeah I guess. :/

Combat still looks like shit and I don't like the art, although Dino looks little better than when they revealed him. But combat is what makes Devil May Cry good, so I just don't understand why they choose Ninja Theory to make this game. Just call this game something else and I'm sure Ninja Theory fans and Devil May Cry fans (well, most of them) would be happy.

I applaud NT for succeeding in making this at least visually palatable. Still not a chance in hell I'm getting a dmc made by them.
Thought you could get me with those boobie drawings did ya? Nope. Well almost.

Nope. Not as good as 4.
4 was a good game, Nero
And the worst problem was the recycled content. Way too much backtracking and reusing of bosses.
Dante was pretty good, (combat and attitude).
Bloody tower is top knotch.
4 isn't as good as DMC3:SE, but still a great game; I liked it better than 1.

Yes, it looks nice enough. The direction of the character is much improved and I've always liked the city environment. What i'd like to see is a video where someone actually plays the game and shows off the combat. It would probably alleviate a lot of anxiety over this game.
Framerate remains an issue, though.

I'd play a whole Nero game over anything I've seen out of this. Actually, I really liked Nero.
And yeah, huge LOL if they really are making Dante half angel. But that's okay guys, now Dante and Virgil will be good buddies again! The big ass fallout they had over choosing to live as a human or a demon, the one that defined their entire story no longer exists! Yay!

But that's the definition of playing a NT game, so that can't be right.
Meh, I'd rather go with design 2 over 3 and 1 at this point. Seriously though, they need to just give it the fuck up, and make him look like Dante from DMC1-4, and if they want to change him up give him just dark hair, and when he goes trigger give him the white. He can keep the new outfit I guess, since old dantes head/face features > these new ideas by a long yard.
The actual stuff shown so far is what worries me more though. The same area for two trailers, uninspiring enemies, and some of the most snore inducing gameplay ever. Oh and the sound is dog shit. When he fires his guns it sounds like someone pissing on a tarp. Whatever voice you hear at a few points in the trailer (Dante's/enemies) sounds like a little bitch, so for w/e that's supposed to be it better be a place holder.
Oh and that scythe is not bad ass. Shit looks straight out of Final Fantasy, and not the good Final Fantasies mind you.
I'm still not writing this game off, but they need to seriously wise the fuck up, and start taking a TON of feedback openly on some fucking facebook/twitter/unity boards page. If this game launches and he still looks like a clown, that alone will murder the sales to make people not even want to try it, and couple that with what's been shown gameplay wise and you have a recipe for a bomba game.

Well, to be fair, I really can't imagine Dante in a club with the total d-bag bro pose like Dino here. Dante likes his women and his booze, but he always likes it in the comfort of his own office.
Dino looks smarmy, whereas Dante did not.
The name would be fine IF there was also a DMC5 announced (which is why everyone has been freaking out for their beloved series to be possibly replaced by this).Raonak said:
If Ultimate Spider-Man came out without any news about a new issue of regular Spider-Man ever coming in the future, then the comparison would make a little bit of sense (still not a lot, since Ultimate started off as something at least similar in tone, so Spider-Man fans would still have found it compatible with their taste and there wouldn't have been a remotely comparable uproar).

I still have yet to see any real combat improvements. After 3 and 4 this is a bummer. 3 introduced some of the strongest mechanics in an action game ever, and 4 added a whole new character with an awesome timing aspect (sword revving). This seems like it's struggling to reproduce the action of 1. I'm not sure how I feel about the hookshot since Dante's mobility allowed him to chase down most far off enemies.
The Union Jack is weird, but only insomuch that it implies that DmC takes place in the real world.
The angel art is very technically proficient, but the subject matter is shitty. It's all: "What if these sweet angels were all ass and titties in the club!? And one of them is on Dante's dick and he's all 'nu-uh' finger pistols, but he's kinda into it? And it's a renaissance art style painting!" The answer is, I'd feel terrible.

I'm sure at least some of the 30fps hate could be mitigated if a PC version existed.
Edit: oh wait, one does exist? Well I guess that's not quite so bad as we'll have one outlet where 60fps is possible. I thought the gameplay in the trailer seemed a step up from what was previously shown, but perhaps i'm just ignorant. I think at the very least Dante doesn't look like a crack ho; now he's more like porn star Dante.

I don't know why Dante going to clubs and hitting up hookers/strippers is a foreign concept to people in this thread. One of the stages in DMC3 is of a bar and a strip club. Dante has been going to bars/strips since he was an adolescent. All the local bitches know who Dante is. It was explicitly stated in the DMC3 manga too.
The real problem is the actual implication of angles in a DMC universe. There are no such things as angels in DMC, unless it's angels disguised as demons.

He's totally controlling his saiyan powers, every DMC so far just shows him in one long SSJ transformation.
Well, I have one tangentially related thing to say.
Typically, I find, in Japanese-developed games, the character's faces have no definition, that is to say, their faces are a generic mess of idealized features; hair style, hair color, accessories, and possibly scars are used for differentiation. jRPGs are notoriously bad in this respect. Earlier up on this page, an example was posted:
If I can say one thing about the new Dante, it's that I can recognize him; if I saw him walking down La Brea tomorrow, I could point and wonder if I were losing my mind. The previous Dante was just another generic face, so all-in-all, I'm a fan.

i gotta say one thing, atleast they seem to be trying.
im a HUGE dmc fan and am still dissapointed there isnt a real dmc5, but i shall keep my eye on this since theres a long devtime and they do seem to be improving on it.
edit: HOLD UPPPPPPPPPP
what is this half angel bullshit?
WHAT.

I liked that new trailer. I wonder if this will release in late/end of 2012 like I first assumed.

Seems like people are literally unable to get off the hate train bandwagon, I've always considered myself a huge DMC fan and I like DmC just fine, but maybe I was never a "true fan" or whatever.
Anyways, concept art and graphics look good, FPS are my only concern but I hope NT will improve it in the future, also if it manages to have a decent storyline I'll be one happy gamer.
