Demiya May Cry was almost a thing

What lore? The only difference is that they added angels and that demons control humanity like the aliens from They Live. Big fucking difference.

Angels also are completely irrelevant outside of some shitty weapons

It's the most on the nose any piece of media's ever been. You're praising it solely on the basis that it's not as simple as the original when that simplicity itself is what makes it good.
A series like DMC doesn't need lore at all, it would only serve to limit the developers' creativity.

That's where you're wrong, libtard.
NO ONE has praised the story of DMC; sure the characters are cool and fun, but the actual story of the series is dogshit and DmC, despite its many flaws, is more interesting in that regard.

he looks like a whore from the future.

The story of DMC is its premise. That's all it needs to be and so it gets a pass.
DmC on the other hand attempts to make it more interesting and while it may have appealed to your dumb ass that doesn't make it good in any sense of the word and I absolutely blame them for trying since everything about it is laughable and it makes the game significantly worse.
Like I said earlier it's fucking bleach tier trash.

Simple != dogshit. I'll take Mario stories over poorly executed trite like DmC's writing.

They had a bunch of concept art for Donte. Even some of an unused Angel Trigger.

Tons have praised and are still praising DMC3's story though, which is legitimately great.
Sure, it's the only DMC game with a great story, but it's still great. The pacing is great, the themes are simple, but relateable, the story tight and the antagonists are memorable, the main protagonist has a clear and well-executed character arc from start to finish and so does the main heroine.

He was still alive and being tortured for all eternity in hell, but Vorgin said it’s literally impossible to save him and Donte completely forgets about Spurdo after that.

>Calling DmC's lore cooler than DMC'S
>After what they did to Sparda
No kill yourself

And Eva the WHOOOOOOOOOOORE

Sparda didn't matter a shit in DMC proper until DMC4 suddenly remembered he existed

DMC3's story is way more effective for the videogame medium. No need to ape cinema and literature, when all you need is a well constructed hero's journey. It's simple, yes, but it works and actually makes you give a damn about the characters and what's at stake.
All the useless political baggage like the Bill O' Reilly boss battle, the anti-establishment vibes or Vorgil's followers being a carbon copy of "Anonymous" in Guy Fawkes masks can, and will, age poorly.
DMC3 will remain timeless.

Fuck off. Pacing is shit. As much as you fucks hate to admit it, DmC had the best story and narrative execution in the series. It also doesn’t suffer from “forty year old japs trying to be cool” in the language.

Sparda wasn't exactly brimming with competence in the main universe, though. I mean, every single game is Dante cleaning up his dad's fuckups and unfinished business.

>All the useless political baggage like the Bill O' Reilly boss battle, the anti-establishment vibes or Vorgil's followers being a carbon copy of "Anonymous" in Guy Fawkes masks can, and will, age poorly.
What is a "period piece"?

Considering how Vorgil turned out and what he knows of Mundus, it’s in his nature to not worry about Sparda.

No, but DmC does suffer from a "forty year old westerners trying to be cool" syndrome. Which is way worse.

>What is a "period piece"?
Not what DmC is intended to be? The entire thing that Tameem was pushing with DmC was literally "DMC but hip and modern and edgy." It's the opposite of a period piece, it's a forced and failed attempt at being ageless and contemporary but instead just violently dates itself with every cutscene.

Honestly DmC would've been better if NT committed to its own vision and doubling down on edginess. What we got wasn't enough Dante from dmc and not enough of its own thing to be special.

Exactly. Almost every demon you fight is still seething in pure rage after Sparda was done with them.

god that looks so gay
how did they have the gall to compare dante to gay cowboys when their own art looks like gay bondage fetish art

they made dante go from
>half human half demon
to
>half angel half demon
which is less interesting and forgets some of the series' points

>when they tell you you can't just spend all day jerking off

Didn't matter? 1 is about killing Mundus, Sparda's nemesis. 2, shit as it may be, was about Dante wanting to know about a story of Sparda from Matier. 3 was about Sparda's legacy and Sons of Sparda' responsibility to it.

I almost feel bad for NT.

I think DmC does have some merit. It clearly attracts casuals, so from a business perspective, that's a plus. But it also allows experimentation, the opportunity to implement ideas and concepts you wouldn't necessarily want in the "main" series. Use it to see what works and what doesn't, and incorporate the aspects that do work into the main series, like what they're doing with DMC5.

Additionally, I do kinda like the axe, even if it wouldn't necessarily fit with main Dante's character.

Imagine if we got this DT but Donte's personality was completely flipped and he was an overly nice awkward dork.

Why was the enemy design in this game so bad?

God, those suspenders look gay hell.

More like DmC will exist through it's obvious tribute DMC5 and onward

As much as I hate DmC I will admit it is the best western melee/combo-based action game, second only to OG God of War as low of bar as that is to cross. Space Marine/Darksiders is third easy

This. But ninja theory wouldve fucked that up anyway so it dont mattah.

This. I mean, it most likely would've been garbage anyway but probably way better than dmc.

The only thing is you need to add a star to that tittle because of itsuno showing up and helping them. It's why people saying it would have been a great game without the DMC name being attached to it are kind of wrong since we know itsuno had to help them on aspects of the gameplay.

>Witch Time is a cool idea.

Basically, I'm playing the game on normal, getting my ass somewhat handled to me (being rusty, new combat system, being a scrub, etc.). Go through two secret missions (limited hits and enemy step ones) with some effort, get to the "your Witch Time is disabled oh no!". Beat it first try with a minute to spare.
Fishing for dodges is a shit design.

Like, it's cool, I guess. Only got to the wall-climbing so far, but already scared about what's to come. The first wall-climbing fight was such a fucking clown fiesta of getting stuck in a corner and having camera issues, I genuinely don't understand how the mechanics made it in after that disaster.
>Two weapon slots, have to give up the hand weapon slot to use a melee weapon.

That's shit. I like Dance Macabre, but I don't want all my attacks to be Dance Macabre.
That being said, Dodge Offset does seem to make this combat archetype much deeper and more interactive, which is a good thing.

They are better than DMC1/2/3 levels, though.
DMC4 has the big scary Dante backtrack section, however, the levels themselves have incomparably less backtracking than DMC1 or 3. Levels also differ thematically in terms of verticality, pathing, and obstacle format/placement without going full cancer of DMC3's "LET'S PUT SAWS ON WALLS!"
Platforming in DMC4 is worse than in DmC but is better than in every other game.

It's two "Rebellion" hits into the Triple Axe thing.

I mean, just imagine all the shit he had to kick aside before reaching Mundus. You'd imagine Sparda's hands were busy with THE big fish and that's why all of Dante's enemies are butthurt sperglords who try to take their frustrations out on Sparda's kid. They weren't even worth beating totally to him, just a pebble in his way.

I keep forgetting DmC has that weird not-really-combo-offset thing

>DmC has better gameplay
No not at all, it's better than DMC2's but even DMC1 has better combat. The bosses are awful, the regular enemies are shit not to mention the red and blue enemies that straight up ruined any and all momentum the game had. None of the weapons are actually fun to use, Onyx in particular is the worst fist based weapon I have ever seen in a Hack n Slash game and overall Donte just doesnt feel nearly as good to play as when compared to DMC3 and DMC4 Dante

I was thinking he'd body surf on a demon's body away from her, Lady, Trish, and Patty with a piece of pizza in his mouth shouting, "No way ladies, this body's only got room for me on it!" or something.

DMC1's combat is still loads of fun though. Ifrit and Alastor are still great Devil Arms.

He walked into the S&M club instead of the leather club

Yea, thats what I was saying. DMC1, a game that came out in 2001 and is much more primitive in many regards is still ten times more fun then the DmC Reboot.

I think the Katana also has just frame bonus damage when you charge it.

The Savior is just a giant golem made in the Order of the Sword's image of Sparda. His only connection is that the Order worshipped him and used his sword to power it.

>sword to power it
This again. Sparda was never necessary for the Savior's activation. At no point is it ever implied that this was the case. It's a great thing to have, mind you, but it wasn't absolutely needed. Sanctus literally only uses the thing as a weapon.

Yamato was also not necessary to activate the Savior. It WAS, however, necessary to activate the Hellgate.

The Savior is actually a demon, not just a construct.

Besides the Nomura-tier amount of belts, this one is actually pretty good and true to the DMC1 design.

Attached: 1532978878381.jpg (500x375, 31K)

Actually, the DMC4 novel directly states that Sparda is the only thing that can power it but they needed a descendant or Sparda to activate Sparda so the Savior can use it.

All they had to do was not use the term hollow and that probably would have slipped by, fucking idiots.

Strange how close the concept art is to the original series.

Red Queen and Blue Rose do look a bit different in 5.

So does Rebellion.

Well it's your interpretation vs a novel that has shit left out of DMC4 and explained shit about DMC4

Just saying, it's hard to take the novel seriously when it makes up shit that the games blatantly disregard. For instance, why would Nero's weapons get melted, but not his clothes?

Is that supposed to be Ninja Theory's take on Nero's DT?

>it's hard to take the novel seriously when it makes up shit that the games blatantly disregard.
I can get that but we don't know if Itsuno will retcon the games to fit the Deadly Fortune novel as well, he already acknowledged a the DMC sign being given to Nero being from the novel and Before the Nightmare is already taking a bunch of stuff from Deadly Fortune as well.
>For instance, why would Nero's weapons get melted, but not his clothes?
That's just because no one wants the final battle to be fought with a naked Nero but besides all DMC games already have shit like that with Dante's clothes, he gets stabbed but his clothes aren't damaged.It's just you have to suspend disbelief for some shit otherwise you can get would be stupid shit like naked Nero vs Sanctus.

MOM'S GONNA FREAK

My view is that if you want me to take this supplementary book that maybe, like, five hundred people read tops, seriously and accept that it's canon, it should ALL line up with the canon. You can't just go "this part's not canon, but this part is". For all I know, it's no different from one of the movie novelizations that takes significant liberties because the writer felt like it that day.

They thought it would be cool.

A lot of the time this is just straight up forgotten or ignored, but NT actually wanted to stay closer to the original games' designs

Capcom, still drinking the Inafune Koolaid, pushed them to make it more and more different, which is how we ended up with that first look being critically blasted and them having to run it back

What the hell these are actually alright, what the hell NT?

I dunno. Given Tameem's interviews and general attitude, I feel like a lot of it was totally in line with his tastes anyway.

No but you see, naked Nero fighting Sanctus would've been symbolic of the Catholic Church and the whole kiddy diddling ring. You gotta think a few steps ahead user

I guess that's fair but by the way things are going now I wouldn't be surprised if Deadly Fortune replaces DMC4 in the canon.But my point was if the writer of DMC4 originally wrote the Savior to be need Sparda and a descendant of Sparda to power it but that wasn't expanded upon in the game due to being rushed then I would think that is how it works in the game.

Blame Capcom and Tameem being full of himself.

All Sanctus ever does is use it as a weapon. It's not as if he used it as the Savior's core. Not to mention, they had no actual way to obtain Sparda anyway; Trish just happened to show up at their doorstep and gave it to them.

Then again, God only knows how they expected to use Dante as the Savior's core.

Not to bring up the novel again but the Savior didn't absorb Sparda, Santus still used it as a weapon.I guess Sanctus was connected to the Savior in some way but I got to reread to figure out how.

>Dante somehow reforges Rebellion
>Seeing as how he has a new sword now, he gives Rebellion to Nero
>It allows Nero to use an alternative Devil Trigger

I still don't get why Trish thought it was a good idea to bring Sparda to them

Who the fuck even knows? Given Dante's reaction to her Gloria disguise, it's obvious that they didn't even meet prior to mission, what, 12 was it? So she wasn't giving him any of the info she learned either.

This is the epitome of cool.

4 was a rush job anyways. Hope 5's narrative will be as good as 3's.

>Sure, it's the only DMC game with a great story, but it's still great.
I prefer DMC1's story. It doesn't have as many high budget cutscenes as 3 but 1 tells a lot of the story through enemy/level design and what Dante is actually doing while you control him.

Itsuno says 5 has been in the works for 4 years.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN TGE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIGHT

Honestly, given Trish's behavior in every piece of media she's been it, the fact that she's so retarded in DMC4 didn't surprise me. She's kind of a simpleton.

to be fair, she's a clone

it's cringy the first few times you hear it but after a dozen playthroughs i realized it's a pleb filter scene

Agreed, fucking kino

The voice crack makes it a meme but it also makes it super emotional when you've watched it enough times

Yeah the VA is 100% different

Glad they didn't go with "generic gruff guy voice", Donte actually has a bit of charm and flair to him at times with his youthful-sounding voice

what's so bad about Donte's actual design? he looks like some weirdo anorexic crustpunk who lives in an abandoned factory building in Europe, shit's awesome

How?

It's an interesting and unique look for the character that pays homage to his original design that also fits the trashy grindhouse aesthetic the game was looking for

>that pays homage to his original design
Donte and Dante both like red, other than that where's the "homage"?

The problem with these designs is that they’re way too similar to the characters’ original first design (besides the obvious Donte’s black hair)

The most ideal reboot design would be something similar to which asides from the obvious Nomura belt fetish, is both similar enough to the old designs and different enough to be a character’s reboot version.

>similar to
lel

I think it helps if you listen to the last part of the ending song too. Skip to 2:25

>gun to an angel's head for no reason
This game treated women way worse than their incorrect assumption of the original series.

i think it's supposed to be his benis

He was great, mechanically, but as part of the story he was HEY CURRENT ENVIRONMENT AS OF THIS GAME'S CREATION, and useless.
Still a fun fight, but OP is talking story.
