Devil May Cry Reboot. Team Bayonetta on deck
Dunno why everyone is talking so much shit on this game.
We all know every nigga in this thread is going to buy a copy when it comes out anyways
Well once again let me emphasize:
Its hard to have a SEQUEL when Capcom keeps acting as if Devil May Cry 2 never happened. The last 3 fucking titles have been before 1 or in between 1 and (that game that doesnt exist.)
You’d think someone on their team would commit hari kiri if the plot actually went in order. This is going to create so many storyline plotholes. I dont want to see a teenage Virgil, and there cant be a Trish since Dante met her in 1. NO Lady because she was in 3, no Lucia because she was in 2 and no Kyrie because she was in 4.
So that means we will be introduced to even more new enemies and personalities who have never been explained in DMC 1 through 4. Since DMC 5 is clearly before 3 which is technically the first DMC.
I won’t this shit looks terrible so far but if the gameplay is good I’ll bite when the price decreases, show me some REAL gameplay and prove to me that it is still DMC in nature… even though I’ll skip over every cut scene…
Unless the gameplay is doing something over the top that ignores the already bad direction of the design, I doubt it.
This game has nothing to do with DMC1-4. It’s a complete reboot.
There we go.
Rightfully so, then when it really does suck. Then we can vent out alot of steam and trash the living daylights out of it.
If Mikami’s team want to pretend that DMC2 never existed, so what’s to prevent to recon the entire title in general in DMC5? Not like it’s been done before where it’s didn’t make Ys: The Oath in Felghana any worse but more awesome.
- Bayonetta
Thats besides the point, the engine was never “complicated” so there is no sense of “dumbing down” engine wise that should even be considered.
- Well isnt this game also being created with the same team who made those games? The consistency of the series is probably more important at this point.
wat?
Lady and Trish are in 4.
and Trish was in 2 (sorta).
it’s 3,1,4,2.
5 looks like it’s basically a remake of 3.
Bayonetta’s team is not involved. The thread title is misleading (he’s referring to Bayonetta players on SRK). If Platinum games were involved, I’d rush this shit down regardless of the new direction the game went in aesthetically. Since they aren’t, it just adds insult to injury.
Edit: 4 comes after 1. Trish being in it should make this pretty damn obvious.
if Platinum was involved, Bayonetta probably would not have even been made to begin with.
Exactly.
How do people expect something NOT to be dramatically different? They are smashing themselves in between a box. That box is called “DMC2 <<<<< [insert new DMC game]” and because of this, the creative process will be hindered, UNLESS…they do something like this.
EDIT: yes 4 comes after one. It goes:
DMC5 > DMC 3 > DMC 1 > DMC 4 > DMC 2
I have a big problem with this being before 3. I mean, can there not be a few chapters that are a flashback? This game HAS to be after 2, its just ridiculous.
all they had to do was remake DMC2 like they did RE1.
that’s all I asked for.
Presumably by dumbing down one would mean moving away from a freeform system like DMC3/4 and Bayonetta use to a more dial-a-combo/cinematic combo system like you see in God of War or heavenly and to a lesser extent the ninja gaiden games.
No. DMC 5 is currently being billed as a reboot, which would exist outside that continuity entirely.
seriously wtf, this has nothing to do with platinum games
-
Well I wasn’t even counting that game since Kamiya was on board but well played lol.
-
Nope, it’s being made by Ninja Theory, the team who did Heavenly Sword. If Platinum Games was involved I would be hyped as fuck but be unsure with this new direction. Since NT is involved I can only think that the gameplay might take a hit since the combat in Heavenly Sword was shit.
I mean what the fuck is so scary about remaking a shitty game, people would be ALL OVER it. Its like some kind of “honor” thing capcom is trying to preserve by acting like there was no DMC2.
DMC 2 remixed could be fucking awesome. The whole skyscraper section with the birds leading all the was up to the boss right on the rooftop was amazing. The blood goats, the sorcery, the modern technology mixed with the old eastern european architecture. It was all badass. The game just needed a few tweaks. And a new endboss.
Where do they claim that “reboot” means not-canon?
My understanding was that the reboot was just a complete overhaul of the series. And going by a young, scrawny, black haired Dante its before he becomes what he is in 3, even if it isnt cannon.
On a final note: Heavenly Sword and the “dumbed down” fight system still shitted on DMC 4 as a whole. Especially the voice acting and storyline.
DOUBLE EDIT:
i seem to be responding too quickly. lol
At least someone understood what Reboot meant.
Not sure why you’re thinking this is a prequel to 3 when no information has been released. A reboot seems more likely since Capcom has talked about it before, IIRC, or implied it when they said they wanted DMC to appeal to Western audiences (even though it did already lol…).
If Capcom retconned DMC2, I doubt anyone would care.
Not to mention no stotic Dante. Maybe bring back the zany Dante from DMC4 into the mix.
