E3 2012: Dante's Lookin' for a Fight

HA Anon May Cry.

First DMC I won't be playing, I guess.

Can't say I know all too much about the original DMC series besides what I saw in, like, two episodes of the anime (oops), but this game does look excellent. Despite what all the diehard DMC fans are telling me, hahah. I mean, their version of Dante lines up with what I'm familiar with, the enviornments look great, and interesting, even if some of them are seizure-worthy. The dialogue is just about as dorky as I thought it'd be, and "bad" dialogue doesn't necessarily mean a bad storyline, so whatever! I can't wait to see more of this game. Looks like it'll be a little while longer, though.

The thing that has me worried about the game the most remains to be the feel of the combat. I like NT's previous 2 games' scenery and some of the characters, but I didn't really enjoy fighting in either of them.

I really don't like what I'm seeing here. Dante sounds like even more of a douche than ever before and then there's the apparent Anonymous spin.

Plus the obvious of Ninja Theory not having proven that they can do a good combat system yet. So yeah, while that part looks flashy in a video I'll have to hold off on judgement until I get my hands on a demo.

I'm loving everything about this except the dialog. New Dante has too much of a Hayden Christensen vibe.

What does that even mean? He wasn't acting like a whiny douche.

Are you serious? It didn't even occur to me until I saw this comment but Dante acted exactly like Anakin in Episode II.

I.. white hair. White hair and I'm in.

Edit: okay watched through the end. White and red coat, I'm all in. Not sure on the facial animations, but other than that.. sure.

Really, really, really, really hope that the dialog is NOT final because some of those lines were extremely bad.

I agree, the Captivate trailer was amazing and got me psyched for this game. While this was left me a bit disappointed. All I really want is for them to edit out some of the swearing and the "Dante the Demon Killer" line. I'm hoping Capcom rushed this trailer like the RE6 demos seemed to be because almost everything else I've seen from this game has just been gravy.

Really Ninja Theory, you are throwing in fake Anon bullshit? Fuck, off!

Dante looks like Luka Magnotta. And acts like a massive twat. No matter how good the gameplay is, I'll pass on this one.
