Why aren't people freaking out over the new art (in a good way)?

This is the single most bad ass pose this new Dante has put up.

 

[Hours Left]

Yeah. They made him stop looking like a meth addict only to make him look like a douchebag dudebro in a club. The quality of the art is fantastic (whoever the artist is did a great job) but he still looks like a total douche, IMO.

Yeah, the art itself is well done, it's just the subject. At least original Dante was a cheesy douche; Dino is just a slutty douche, and not in a fun way.

And I'm shocked at how blase they are with all the finger gun on sex angel violence.

 

[MYE]

If nothing else it had fantastic texturing.

lol at those shoulders

 

[Nix]

Why do I see Uncharted when I look at this!? Ugh, the enemy design is just...wow.

Sure, the art with the angels may be good, but come on people. Come on. I'd think we'd all prefer it if they didn't call this Devil May Cry and instead made it into a new IP. I mean, have you guys seen the combat video? Have you seen it!?

We'd all be more accepting if this was a new IP; be honest about that. Damn, this just looks like a mess.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I'm kinda onboard with Dante's design now but lol, still a Ninja Theory game. Love that poster though.

 

[glaurung]

That angel artwork would be proper if the top angel did not have a bed sheet and the bottom ones did not have silver panties.

Of course Dante's gesture towards the girl's head ain't helping either.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

DMC4 was absolute wank, so I'll give NJ a chance to make something of this before I dismiss it entirely, I think a good demo might do the trick!

 

[toastyToast]

The move animations were so slow and wow at that air combo.

I don't trust Ninja Theory to animate the combat properly, we haven't even seen an weapon switches/cancels which is where I think it's going to fall on its ass (moreso).

 

[Teknoman]

Oh, as a game, DMC looks horrible compared to the previous entries, but I'll always maintain that Dante was a fucking awful character. Like, at least Hayabusa didn't talk so much.

Wouldnt be an over the top action game without cheesy one liners/taunts.

 

[MYE]

im creeping myself out at how much im looking at dat angel ass

Dammit, now i'm doing it too

[Dahbomb]

Dante was a regular attendee at the local strip clubs and brothels around where he works. All the whores in his place knew who Dante was.

Also this is pretty cool:

The rubble behind him arcs like wings, a black wing and a white wing. Didn't notice this until now, also like the alternating colors of his guns.

dude in Just Cause 2 is cheesy in an Arnold way
Dante was cheesy in a, 'this is my fanfic about my badass character whose half demon half god who gets all the girls', etc.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Well, Dante was a total douche.

Well it would be a lot better because then I could write it off completely.

If Capcom is still expecting us to believe that Dino is the real Dante, then I have to at least check in on it, and I'm not digging what I'm seeing.

Agreed. Also it seems like he stole Nero's jacket from the future.

 

[Cheska]

New video is shhhhweeeettt! So much happier with healthy looking Dante too, he's actually starting to rub off as a badass finally.

 

[storafötter]

His face looks better, but now he looks more like Hayden Christensen. Can't unsee.

 

[madmaxx350]

why not leave his hair as it was in DMC1-4? or is that style outdated ?

Art direction looks fine, though the framerate... Dear God. New DINO better than Old DINO

 

[Dahbomb]

Judging by where they are taking the story in this game, that sexy angel pic of Dante is probably him hallucinating.

 

[V_Arnold]

Well, we might just agree that it is better to have a unique and most likely more than servicable action game whose greatest fault is that "it is called DMC", compared to having something like DMC2 - and that is "proper" DMC by design, but in turn, a shitty game.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Well, Dante was a total douche.

Yeah, but he was a "cheesy, poke fun at it" douche and not a "would easily make the cast of Jersey Shore" douche. There's a difference, man. A difference! *shakes fist*

And yeah, combat still looks wonky as fuck. Still not sold on the transforming weapon.

 

[Xater]

Well, Dante was a total douche.

Old Dante was fun douche though.

 

[Sinatar]

He looks like Manequin Skywalker now, not much of an improvement.

 

[dragonelite]

He atleast looks like he could wield and swing weapons around.

 

[I should be doing hw]

What's with the mod looking union jack patch on his left arm. Since when was Dante british or anyway associated with at that culture? Or is a shitty fashion statement.

 

[Pie and Beans]

the best way to think of this game is that DmC stands for Douches might Cosplay, and how it chronicles a schizophrenic Capcom fan's descent into madness after recent upsets where he begins to actually believe he is Dante. The twist at the end will be a Ninja Theory dev waking up at his workstation with the obligatory "so it was all a dream...?" voicework before the camera zooms in on a trinket/object from the game's storyline sitting on the desk also and the subtext "OR WAS IT?!"

Reboot marginalised, windows left open for DMC to return or amazingly unworthy DmC sales imprison the franchise forever.

Hallucinating of a world without school but with Angels?
I'll keep following the game it looks... ok? now

Guess where ninja theory are based.

Gameplay looks really bad, worse than X-blades

 

[Akainu]

I thought he looked great, and preferable to DmC5 Dante.

Neither are good compared to the first one. And I like this one more then four's in general.

They should have a different picture where the angels are actually demons.

Kamiya has a British fetish.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Looks pretty nice. I like the '600 style artwork.

Relax guys, they'll probably improve the combat. They tweaked Dante to not be emo enough anymore so they're willing to fix anything the fans desire.

I guess I just find Hayden sexy.

The insane dude thinking he's Dante has been a popular theory ever since the first methtastic trailer.

It's the only way Capcom could salvage this IMO, because wanting everyone to jump onto the Dino = Dante bandwagon ain't gonna happen.

Make this the boxart and I will get the game no matter the quality, holy shit.

 

[Majukun]

Looks better and better, but I don't expect a game better than God of War or Lords of Shadow.

your second statement explains the first

 

[madmaxx350]

It could end up being passable but with NT's track record, I doubt the framerate'll hold enough for you to enjoy the combat.

 

[Shiggy]

Ninja Theory brought this guy into their studio to make him the "next Dante".

 

[Despera]

this narcissistic art director shit needs to stop

Sounds like you are projecting.

NT is a UK based dev team...

Yeah most of us DMC fans are already over the whole Union Jack thing way back in September. Dante has never been related to a nationality.

 

[Thunderbear]

Screw all the haters, the gameplay looks great and so does the graphics. Only thing I don't like is the jaggies everywhere.

 

[Data West]

That doesn't make any sense.

 

[Leon Belmont]

Ok, some people are calling him Dante, just to make things clear.... HE'S NOT DANTE (maybe on another universe) but the DANTE we all know has white hair, he looks like a real man (not a emo)... so this piece of emo crap it's not Dante.

The only thing that I notice that they change to this new "Alternate Universe Dante" it's that he doesn't has that white tuft on the back of his head!

 

[ZeroRay]

I actually thought the aesthetics were interesting since day one but my goodness did the framerate suck in that video. The combat still looks like an imitation of a Devil May Cry and not something I see myself playing.

 

[Raonak]

This game would be totally praised... If it wasn't DMC. Seriously.
I would be mildly excited for it.

But... It's taking my 2nd favourite franchise (behind MGS) and totally shitting on it.

At this point, I think bayonetta has more in common with my DMC

---
I am afraid that if this sells, we'll never see a proper DMC5...


Hopefully if this fails(ie: selling less than DMC4, which sold over 3 million), we'll see a return of the proper DMC.

But on the other hand, capcom love making me pissed off, and seeing what happened to megaman, I'm afraid they would just kill off the whole series.

He does have white hair though and it turns all white during his new DT form.
