Not bad.

Now where's the butt kicking?

K that's better.

But what's up with the title? Devil May Cry: Devil May Cry? What?

one of my bros will probably buy it. so for free I guess it's worth running through just so I can hate on it with some specificity on message boards.

they have a better idea now than they did with enslaved. enslaved combat felt like work.

the combat doesn't look nearly as good as past DMCs, but as its own thing, the game is looking good.

The fighting still looks like they have no idea what they're doing

Based on a two-minute snippet of gameplay from what looks like a relatively early point in the game? I'm no fighter junkie like lyte edge, Robo, iconoclast, and all them, but I at least managed to beat 3 and 4 on Dante Must Die, and it looks roughly like every other DMC to me -- unless that's what you take issue with, which I guess would be understandable after Bayonetta.

Just gimme more fighting and less player vs environment AC-lite crap, the ability to swap between more than two weapons, a decent-sized move list, and better boss fights than DMC 4

edit: Oh, and although no one has mentioned it in this thread, I'm just gonna put this out there for the record: Dante has always looked like a homo, so the "new" look is a lateral move at the worst

and i'd like to remind everyone that the original series had abysmal level design. even in dmc4 it too often felt like one of those shitty ps1 games where theres lots of clumsy 3d puzzles and pits that are easy to fuck up and force you to do lots of backtracking. the level in the vid had basic platforming but it still looks miles ahead of the absolute trash that cluttered up the old games.

level design is too open. grapple extends too far. These are two easily identifiable issues in the trailers that alone could hamper the game severely, sort of like how DMC2's biggest issues were that it was too open and had too powerful ranged weapons.

The combat looks shit compared to DMC4, but pretty good compared to other hack and slash nonsense like heavenly sword.

The only game Dante didn't look like flaming biker power bottom was DMC2, and that game is shit so it doesn't count.

All in all it looks to be a sold effort from team ninja. which is to say it might manage to crawl out of shit tier and be a peer to such titles as THQ's Conan.

*shrug* Not seeing much that's new, sorry. Just looks like they gave Dante the DMC 4 Stretch Armstrong grip in the form of a grappling hook (and yeah, the range on that is sorta crazy).

I'll send you a new trash can and some Kleenex if it helps.

edit: In all fairness, I never played much GoW past the first

Adding to that, looks like they forgot to add gravity.

brob · « **Reply #20 on:** December 09, 2011, 08:38:48 PM »

yeah i mean. we could special fellow out like dahbombs if we wanted but just those two issues and ninja theory's pedigree are enough to point out that there is reason to be russian-level pessimistic about this shit.

brob · « **Reply #21 on:** December 09, 2011, 08:52:20 PM »

i was hoping cc2's game was gonna be good enough to make up for this, but that seems more like a cinematic god hand without the mechanical depth. and ninja gaiden is looking weaker than the previous one even. so that leaves us with... anarchy reigns, I guess?

they at least have some OG devil may cry guy giving advice on combat. Capcom have questionable companies developing games that seem to exceed their pedigree-- eighting for MVC3, dimps for SFIV come to mind. Pretty hit or miss. Blue Castle was not exactly a number one pick for Dead Rising, considering they'd done nothing but a baseball game, maybe? Bionic Commando was looking good but got dumped on because Capcom just gave up on it and told them to put in some bullshit...even then you have people saying there's a good game in there. I think if they pump enough time and money into it, it might turn out decent or at the very least, exceed DMC2.

I haven't written this off nearly as badly as I've written off NG3. This is at least in the lower end of my "wait and see" list...but part of that is because they haven't really shown much of it.
