On the trailer, at exactly 52 seconds, is that a face on the top right of the screen?
Also, could anyone .gif the rising rainstorm? From 46 to 47 seconds?

This new guy looks a lot better than the old design, but the game's never going to be "Devil May Cry."
Plus I don't really trust Ninja Theory when it comes to gameplay.

This is the first DMC4 trailer, a year and a half away from its release, for comparison's sake. Now that shit is badass. And looking both trailers back to back there are severe framerate problems in DmC. Seems hoping for 30fps was just too much. :lol
I don't know either, and the facial animation in DMC4 is pretty nice considering it doesn't use motion capture for it.

NT is more comfortable with Unreal. That's what they've used in the past, so it'd be unintuitive for them to use another engine for DmC, they said. Also, Capcom doesn't allow any other developer to use the MT Framework.

Nice catch. That's the one thing that looks like it has the potential to be a positive change to the combat engine thus far.

Dahbomb said:Itsuno's Dante also visited clubs and brothels. It's in the DMC3 manga, a canonical entry into the DMC series which came right after DMC3 (Itsuno's game). The difference is that Dante in DMC3 and above covered his dark/brooding self with an over the top personality.
And Eva was never even implied to be an angel, she was a human pure and simple. Even DMC1's original tagline was something like "half human, half demon... all vengeance". So no... Kamiya never intended Eva to be angel or Dante to be half-angel. It's a retcon if I ever saw one.
Edit: typing on ipad.
I never said that Kamiya intended Eva to be an angel.
I said that thematically, a lot of what NT is doing reflects more of the backstory of Kamiyas original Dante. I even remember reading some of the interviews Kamiya ang Mikami did back in 2000. Where they got a lot of backstory questions. Even the flag symbol can be explained, as Kamiya stated in an interview before release that he designed and envisioned his Dante in Dmc1 to be a European nspired guy in his 30s. I dont know wtf tha means, bu maybe this was a throwback to that.
As for the Eva being an angel or human, she was always described as being a pure, innocent character. She might as well be instilled with angelic like chatacteristics. Making her an angel, and we don't know to what extent that means, is simply an extension on the unpure and pure concept that is sparda and eva. One is of evil origins, the otheris of "pure" origins. The overall arch is still the same, dante is a child of two distinct origins. That remains the same.
And finally, some departures to the story are expexted, its a spin off is it not? Which is why the game us called DmC, not Devil May Cry 5.
REAL DMC fans masturbate at the thought of DMC2 Dante design fighting DMC1 enemies with DMC3SE combat engine in masterful 60FPS+ set to the sound of some epic orchestral organ music on a tri-head monitor on PC, set to Legendary Dark Knight mode, with Turbo and all graphics set to ULTRA.Chamber said:

They really are going after those twilight gamers with this arent they?

Honestly at this point, I could deal with new Dante if they fix his fucking hair to be less douchey. Also I can't help but feel that angel artwork is a total reaction to all the homophobic comments about new Dante. Its a little too perverse for my tastes but kinda badass.

It's a "rebirth".
Which basically means that if it fails.... Capcom can just push it to the side and call it a side project. If it's successful it might replace the main series as a full on reboot (like Tim Burton Batman movies -> Nolan Batman movies).
Or maybe Bayonetta with some of that witch action.

That would be HOT. Too bad their son grows up to be a whiny little bitch.

At least they showed a glimpse of new Dante's personality through artwork, I'd say that is some progress.
It's hilarious that the producer was saying he didn't care about fans' input and now he's modifying Dante because everyone complained about it. It better be 60 FPS or it will be a big failure (are there any 60FPS Unreal console games aside from MK9?).
At least it's good that Capcom is starting to show more about the game.

I'll give this a shot. Definitely looks better than I expected. Need to see a little more gameplay though.

Well I think he still looks a bit like the original concept art (I actually wasn't aware of that because I thought the hair was longer in the concept), they just fixed him up so he doesn't look like zombie anymore, they didn't really change him to look like what fans want, not to mention I think he looked like a zombie because he was all bruised up with wounds originally, so this might just be the "after" scenes.

Awesome. This is how Devil May Cry should be done. Puts all the other Capcom games to shame. The series is in good hands. Hell, I think Capcom should sell the franchise to Ninja Theory and be done with it.
Sure, why the fuck not.benzy said:
Nah, let's go with Vergil/Rayne and then Nero/Bayo. Bayo's dad can be a warlock with a mother witch. Then we have angel + devil + human + vampire + warlock + witch in ~17% slices. They have a kid named Constantine who we can also possess with the ghost of Sparda (GoW pun, ha!).Dahbomb said:That would be HOT. Too bad their son grows up to be a whiny little bitch.

So, am I e-mailing Capcom or you?

MK vs. DC and the newest MK are the only ones. I'll post this again since it's a good read:

I remember reading that it was too. Variety, Eurogamer and Geekosystem are vague about it. Shacknews says the movie will be based off of the reboot but I couldn't find their source.

That angel artwork is awesome, if only they could transfer that personality over into the trailers. Because the new trailer sucks balls.

There have been many action oriented games at 30 fps that worked.
Darksiders
Vanquish
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
God of War 3. ( yes i know it fluctuated but during most combat sequences it was on the lower end.)
Bayonetta (ps3 version) which was actually sub 30 fps in many instances. And a lot of people enjoyed that game.
Also, ninja theory could do some interesting things wih the visuals and evironment design and interactivity that the Dmc games couldn't do before because they were at 60.
Hopefully, we begin to see more of this in future previews of the game.
Furthermore, your god Hideki Kamiya said that 60 fps isnt required for a good action game. And that i depends on the design of the game.

While it doesn't look bad... I really would not go that far lol.Cow Mengde said:

Yep. Looked over it again. Wanted to be sure. There's not a single thing that I agree with in this post.
Anteater said:
No, it's different. He's bulker, better groomed hair, looks healthier, they changed his shirt from a dirty wifebeater to a regular shirt, his necklace, his coat and pants actually fit. These aren't very obvious changes like "OMG his hair is white nao!" But they're changes that make him less grungy... which was obviously what the earlier designs were going for.
It's quite a departure.
It's not like a movie based on OG DMC series would be any better. I mean just look at the guy who is scripting the movie... there isn't much to be expected out of the DMC movie.
Can't wait for the TGS DmC trailer (showcasing Vergil) with simultaneous unveiling of Vergil for UMVC3. It's going to be epic.
Just saw the trailer again... and I have to admit that Rising Rainstorm was genuinely bad ass.

Damn, you must really hate the DMC series then. NG fan? God of War? Bayonetta? What's your favorite that you are so eager to place over the DMC series?
Two of those were designed for 60fps and constantly broke 30fps. The two mentioned on top are also about 1/10th as responsive as DMC games and I don't see how Vanquish fits in. You are talking about the difference between frame linking and combo inputs, charges, mash mash mash, etc...lowhighkang_LHK said:
Changing to 30fps would make an action game but not a DMC game. 60fps and 30fps actions games are almost their own genre.
