I wanted DMC5, but not like this. Like... Nero? Really? The most boring character besides the garbage Dante from DmC. Like... what? We want Dante and Vergil. That is all the real fans truly want. We want DMC3 part 2. Give it to us.

I'm okay with the look of the game... but I sure wish I were thrilled instead

Dante just looks bad

They chose an interesting aesthetic. I dig it, but can see why many don't.

I loved the monster design and mechanics they showed though, think this will end up turning out good.

It's being made by Itsuno.

The gameplay will be fine.

Itsuno is not peerless. It is entirely possible for him to fuck up. And considering how awful this game looks in pretty much every visual and aural regard, the gameplay is going to have to be diamond-perfect to make up for that.

Who is the dude(?) on the right? We have Dante, Nero in the middle and...? Anyone know?

Vergil. You see his glove, boots and sleeve of his old outfit. It's Vergil. Probably with a scarred face or something too. He wants Yamato back, and he's not asking. I swear I randomly suggested that is what Vergil should do in some other thread, just rip his arm off.

People in here whining about how he looks, pssh whatever.

The important part is that what we can see of the combat looks pretty good. Need to see more though! But I'm encouraged by the part where they went straight to talking about feel and controls after the trailer.

Also where's the buttrock? The music was super weird. I can probably dig it, but weird.

Except for the bosses the monster design doesn't fit DMC neither do the chars. Aesthetic is great on its own.

I think the big DmC confusion is that people are thinking Nero is Dante. AND IT IS HILARIOUS

To be fair he does look a little too much like Dante did in DmC, as if they wanted to keep that design but knew they couldn't use it for Dante himself.

Either way I don't really care as long as DMC5 isn't like DMC4 and has Dante only going through Nero's stages backwards.

Relax. If it's anything like DMC4, we'll get playable Dante & Vergil as well. And put some respect on Nero's name, he's cool in his own right.

I was so confused when this trailer hit. I was like "Is...is this DMC5!?" but then it looked like DmC. I kept going back-and-forth until the title hit, and I went "Oh, so this really is DMC5!".

I'm sure it'll be great, with Itsuno-san behind it and all, but this really looked/felt like a DmC2 to me.

I loved all of it but just like I figured the internet only wants to love only one type of Dante . Go play the HD remasters and live under a rock.

This was fire !!!! Bearded Dante looked siiiick.

The first impressions on the locked DMC5 threads were embarrassing. Who gives a fucking shit if they gave Nero an undercut and Dante a beard? I exactly predicted these hairstyle changes several times in previous threads and had a gut feeling that people would be outraged about it.
The funny thing is that those are the same people who'd claim that their issues with DmC wasn't about the hair lol.


Anyway, that trailer was fucking hyped, as soon as I saw Devil May Cry on the truck I was screaming irl.

I just really don't have words for how disappointed I am. This was pretty much the one thing that could save E3 for me, and it's just...god damn it.

They need to get us a demo so we can make sure they didn't fuck up the gameplay, because the character designs and cutscenes just look awful.

I am more baffled than anything, honestly. I've enjoyed DmC (and I think one of my first threads were about it), but I didn't want DMC 5 to be DmC 2, not like this at all.

I just don't get it. Why did they chose to go in this direction?
