Devil May Cry Features Air Juggling

Cool beans.

boo

Hey...that's not Dante!

After watching this, I have no clue why the Devil May Cry name is on this game.

Nice i guess

Looks ace. And common guys, give the game a chance. Only because they're doing something different with the character design doesn't mean it's gonna be a bad game.

Looks fine to me. Stop whining about change

So Dante is now Taylore Lautner? Game developers are targeting the wrong audiences this gen.

You know what? That combat looked pretty great.

Clowns should learn how to juggle like that.

This looks the same as the other DMC games, just with an arguably worse coat of paint

Gameplay-wise it looks okay in the trailer, but fuck me, that design still screams "TOTALLY RADICAL".

seems Dante has gotten a slight redesign, i thought NT didn't care what the fans thought?

Oh, they used the same combos? Weird, ok. Not super interesting..

Besides character redesign the only real changes I notice are larger settings, not large environment in which you fight on a tiny platform, and it looks like the sword swings have a bit more weight to them in the animation. May try this out, might be a rental for me.

Looks way too slow.

looks... fine.

Don't know what but visually theres something I don't like about this game. And I'm not talking about the fact Dante looks different. Just....i don't know. The game looks ugly i think.

@steelknight2000: Totally Dante at 00:36

Regardless of how this reboot turns out, it can't be any worse than the direction the series was going. Besides 1 and 3 were awesome, 2 and 4 not so much. All signs point to a good game.

21 comments and not one Run DMC joke? I guess I expected too much.

Heavenly Sword had fancy combat, and Enslaved had pretty fun combat.

Hopefully this can find a good middle ground!

Fuck you Capcom! And fuck you Ninja Theory! And FUCK THIS GAME!

Redesigned 3rd time and still looks fucking horrible.DINO.
I hope Bayo 2 is not just a rumor...

Anyone notice how his hair is less emo than when first revealed? I guess they picked up on people noticing how Dante looked a lot like the game's designer.

where's the voice acting, wheres the trademark horrendous butt rock?

I was not a fan of the redesign but man, this looks effing DOPE.  Really dig the style and how the combat looks.

Looks cool, but i don't wanna play these kinds of games anymore. 
 
The only game i enjoyed of this genre was Dante's Inferno and thats only because i loved the setting.

I'm gonna slit my wrists now.

I don't understand. I was under the impression that the reason Capcom gave up on DMC and handed it to Ninja Theory for "rebooting" was because of the existence of Bayonetta. Bayonetta did everything DMC did, but much better and crazier. It basically made Devil May Cry obsolete. Now, despite the "This is a reboot" spiel from a few months ago, they're showing gameplay that looks identical to the way Devil May Cry originally played. Specifically, it looks more like Devil May Cry 2, but whatever.

If they weren't trying to reinvent themselves in the faces of more evolved character action games like God of War, Bayonetta, and Ninja Gaiden, what was the point of starting a remake? It's not like they're pandering to the diehard DMC fans.

looks... fine.

Wow, that definitely at least looks like how a DMC game should play. I'm definitely more optimistic after seeing some of the possible combos. 
 
It does look a little automated, though, like with some attacks that appear as if they were initiated with a single button combination, yet carried an entire combo; attacks from the scythe in particular.

Dante isn't play no games!

If they didn't want to do any more actual Devil May Cry games then they should have just let the series end. Instead they took the series outside of an internal Capcom studio gave it to Ninja Theory and slapped DMC on there for brand appeal and nostalgia. Maybe the game will be good for what it is but just like how I will never accept Max Payne 3 as a true sequel to the Max Payne series this will never be a true Devil May Cry game.

ps. Fuck reboots, especially for a character as iconic as Dante. Come up with new stories and new characters.

Looks like DMC4... minus the cool main character.

They should switch out Dante in UMVC3 with this guy.

Graphically it doesn't look particularly great, but the fighting looks as solid as the previous DMC game, so I'm not going to discount it quite yet.

I hope the framerate is better in the full game. Also, still hoping you can change his haircut or something. Not even giving him longer white hair, just better-looking hair.

I wish instead of the white hair they would let him turn into some crazy demon thing. Otherwise looks like a solid game so far.

The game looks pretty rough graphically. It kind of looks sub-DMC4 and it definitely looks worse than Bayonetta. Gameplay looks fine though and I don't mind the character redesign.

@mrcraggle: Yeah, I noticed that too. Weird.

After watching this, I have no clue why the Devil May Cry name is on this game.

I feel like if they used the MvC3 Dante way of doing moves with SF commands, added more moves, then gave him no hit decay, this would be more fun.

This looks kind of dull. Why does DMC 3 still looks like a better game than this?

Gameplay-wise it looks okay in the trailer, but fuck me, that design still screams "TOTALLY RADICAL".

are you serious? it looks just like all the DMC combat of the past.

Having just played DMC 3 I have to say that the combat in this video looks subpar to that game. Which, of course, is not surprising given the fact that the combat mechanics in previous Ninja Theory games were always pretty mediocre. Also, this Dante sounds dumb as fuck (that was him with the little yelp in this video, right?)

The combat looks good. It definetly has a DMC style look to it as opposed to a GoW style, and it actually reminds me of DMC 3 with how Dante animates. It's tough to say how it will play though when you couldn't even see how it transitions from walking animation into attack animations, but I'm hopefull.

I also like the general artstyle. There's some nice colour to the backgrounds as well as the effects coming off of Dante's weapons and I like the mook designs that they've shown so far. The environments seem a little too big & empty though and I still don't really like seeing the bullets when he fires his guns, but overall a positive impression.

Next show me what the story will be.
