    no one was optimistic in drakengard

    caim was only optimistic in that he was probably confident that there would be more things for him to make dead

    But Dante is basically always talking about what a badass he is and how much he enjoys doing what he does

    And honestly the Dante in this trailer seems to be diggin' what he's doing pretty hard, if you ask me

    I really have to wonder why this thread hasn't been locked yet, since it's basically 40+ pages of everyone bitching about character design even though nothing is known about the story or style at all beyond a minute-long teaser that was shown.

    Same thing happened in the Max Payne 3 thread and that was shut down pretty quickly.

    Character design aside though, I like Ninja Theory, but I'm really not sure they're the right fit for this after playing Heavenly Sword and, more recently, Enslaved. Enslaved was a fine game and all, but combat was the absolute low point of the experience...probably not the people I would want behind a new DMC unless they're planning on shifting focus away from combat and making it a more story-driven experience (which seems a bit ridiculous in Devil May Cry of all things, but hey, you never know)

    Also it's weird as hell to see GG posting in G&T

    I think there is a special place in everyone's heart that loves the ridiculous action game that DMC was.

    This is kind of the opposite of that special place. Even if I ignore the aesthetics, the Ninja Theory guys don't even seem to be making a protagonist that I want to control. Its the time duration between his attack, the focus, their camera set-up, the pacing that tells me that they don't have the right idea...

    And even if that is just conjecture, the company doesn't have a good history with action titles. So w/e. Ninja Theory got their work cut out for them, thats for sure.

    But it isn't even Japanese. It's being made by Ninja Theory, which is in the UK.

    I've been playing some DMC4 recently and I still really like that game. Particularly the Legendary Dark Knight mode with absolutely ridiculous amounts of enemies.

    Bayonetta had a pube witch show everything that is awesome with beyond the impossible to the 7th power. And that game was WTF Japan as Fuck.

    If Heroin May Cry is Japan out Japaning themselves then this will be a game so awesome that selecting the storage device alone will cause exploding boners. Unfortunately the art direction this relaunch is going to already has me worried about it.

    360

    PS3 initially wasn't even an option, the patch makes it bearable if you have to play it on that system, but if you have the choice, get it on 360

    Bayonetta may be the biggest quality split this generation in terms of a multi-platform game

    There is so much I don't like in that trailer. :(

    I guess the word I'm looking for to describe what it isn't is bombastic. Nothing about this is singing to me as appealing. The music, the updated character design, the enemies, the combat, the setting, and the frankly shoddy-looking art style. I would not be proud of that and would not want to show it off to the world.

    I dislike pretty much everything about that trailer. The character designs are utterly abysmal and the combat doesn't seem as...stylish as it should be. Not a fan of this matrix crap they appear to be pulling with the storyline either.

    When Capcom Unity posted that trailer in their blog, they referred to the character as Tony Redgrave instead of Dante. Mistake or what? And if it's not a mistake, is Dante using an alias or is it a different character?

    I know at one point in the development of the original Devil May Cry (when it was still a Resident Evil game), Dante's name was Tony Redgrave. And then later on in development Dante was going to have two partners (a male and a female, the male being named Tony Redgrave according to the artbook). And his guns say "For Tony Redgrave" on them.

    Edit: Of course, even if that is a separate character and not Dante, it's still a character I have no real interest in playing or caring about.

    I dunno if I want to judge yet really.

    I think they set the tone for this trailer entirely wrongly though. Too brooding.

    Also it's hard to judge the action viewing it at that camera angle, with their stylistic slowdowns and youtube's compression. Seems like it's nowhere near 60FPS. :(

    Also, screens.
