DMC1 was the best. the combat in 3+4 is way more evolved, sure, but the set pieces and boss design in both don’t compare to the first. there’s a bunch of things that are just boring and seem like filler in the sequels. dumb shit like the gyrocopters in 4. weak ass enemies like 50% of the ones in 3. fuck the giant worm and the horse boss, that shit was lame.
don’t get me wrong… I really like 3+4. but fighting phantom, nelo angelo, griffin for the first time? the other games don’t stack up.
if they bring what was sick about DMC1 to the table AND make the combat fresh, it should blow all those games out the water.
3 and 4 just don’t feel the same. I tried to play 3 but just couldn’t get into it and I’ve had 4 for awhile now and just haven’t wanted to play.
I actually bought that PLAY magazine today because Bayonetta was on the front. I could have just read it at work, but I was like “Fuck it, I’ll just buy it” Yay for me contributing towards a dying media source!
The interview was good, and makes it seem like Bayonetta is going to be an evolution of DMC1 with some Godhand silliness sprinkled in there. It was funny when the Kamiya guy was like “All my games sell badly, please go buy this one!”
Poor guy. “Making new games everytime is hard, I want some sequel money” Hahaha. He is keeping it real.
I really enjoy the jazzy fun music. It’s a nice divergence from the THIS IS AN ACTION GAME ROCK MUSIC IS PLAYING soundtracks in every game now.
It’ll be fun/interesting to see what Kamiya and his team can do with the genre they basically created after like an 9 year hiatus.
I like when he’s all “I’d like DLC Money. I want DLC money.” Dude doesn’t front. That’s awesome.
yeah the music in the Gametrailers interview sounded fucking awesome. I replayed the interview again so i could focus on the piano and jazz in the back round. Was awesome.
I’m really excited for this. Most looked forward to game of 09 for me. Kamiya has yet to make a game i didn’t like.
E3 Trailer and more. The animated GIFs at the end are great. I hear the videos are much better looking (especially the 60 FPS video) if you download them to your PC before watching.
I played the Batman demo, and it was decent, but nowhere near as fast paced as this (its really apples and oranges), but this game looks great. One more great quote:
1UP: Is there going to be a boss gauntlet at the end?
Kamiya: "I don’t think there should be artificial game lengthening.
1UP: Is there going to be a moment where we can slash big dices with our sword.
Kamiya: “I’m not making a dice-puzzle simulator, I’m making an action game.”
