Dante's pretty much had a redesign with every game - I'm fine with nu-Nero. All he really needs is a full moveset/devil arms.

Bruh come on.
Lucia deserves the chance she never got, plus there ain't many black or dark skinned action game characters, least non that come to mind atm.

I admit I liked her design quite a bit back then, but right now it only reminds me of DMC2. And she has the personality of wet paper, which is unsurprising in a game where even Dante is dull.

Okay, here's my thoughts collected: not a huge fan of the aesthetic. I think the way the RE Engine renders things is just not something I enjoy. Photogrammetry is not something I'd want for the series. I'm sure the game will be fantastic and fun, but the grungy visual aesthetic just kinda lost me a bit.

Dante looks bad in that shot, though that's probably the angle.

This line from the Capcom blog should be put in the first post. People think that Nero will be the only playable character. This was his trailer, we havnt seen dantes and the third characters trailer yet.

Utterly Insane Action


However, Nero is not alone in this fight. Our gameplay announcement trailer above focuses on Nero and his new set of tricks, but Devil May Cry 5 will feature 3 playable characters, with their own unique over-the-top playstyles and flair.
...it is. Read the OP again.

This looks amazing. I'm not sold on Nero's design but the fact that he is the main character makes me so happy.

And it needs to be said again: DmC is great.

People complaining about the music are forgetting that DMC4 was going for electro music a lot too and it was stronger for it. DMC is not just metal, it's a myriad of genres that feels exhilarating for an action game.

You guys I still can't believe it. We did it. We're here. Ten years.

I love you all.

For real. No more "if it is not at E3 it will be at TGS and if it isn't at TGS it will be at the next E3." Ten years, damn. The first DMC got me back into gaming. My then boyfriend got it and hated it. I was bored one day and decided to give it a go. Stayed up the entire night and fell in love.

Now that I calmed down, this is growing on me.
And it's growing really fast.

I don't know if I can get past the new look. Maybe I just need more time to let it sink in. Maybe it'll grow on me....I hope. I am glad that DMC5 is finally coming though.

I cringed when I heard the new sidekick's accent,
even if it does fit the stupid over the top nature of the series.

But not as hard as I cringe when I see comments decrying the music and faces. Ya'll ain't dealing with RE7 Chris Redfield here. Great Uncle Dante looks perfect. I'ma grab this day one.

I don't really dislike DmC's environmental art style, yeah. I think it was a cool idea, just not a good fit for this series, essentially.

I wanted to see crazy over-the-top horror-adjacent art for DMC5.

I'm on the fence about a lot of the non-gameplay elements we've seen, but the environments are the one thing I'll straight-up say look bad. Makes the levels in 4 look like the original DMC.

People are complaining about this game where you can surf your own detachable rocket arm and you fight a boss with a giant mouth in his belly who feeds himself cars and spits out fireballs.

I would def like to see more memorable environments out of the series. Most of it the levels between the 4 games kinda blend together since they never pushed the gothic arch to its extreme.

"Utterly Insane Action". I guess that's the new tagline for this game then?

I can't believe people are complaining when we have so little information at this point and we've finally gotten confirmation after 10 fucking years. The die-hards know how hard the wait has been, and it's been too long.

Have they finally bit the bullet and gone past DMC2? Did Grandpa Dante somehow get his humor back from killing a bunch of demons in hell?

Will they do the unthinkable and bring back Lucia?

With the exception of the artstyle being too realistic for my tastes when it comes to DMC, I've come around to it. Back to being happy to see a new DMC game

I think it all looks great I just hope they fix Dante's face.

Since they had a heavy redesign for Nero, Dante should look cool/pretty. He looks ugly currently. And it's not the hair or beard, it's the wonky smile and beady eyes.

Seriously people ,a DMC with a team we wanted with characters doing flips and shit the way you like it and you're gonna get upset by their characters design? Nero needed to look different from dante and he is a punk who fits DmC design better than Dante.
When you see old man Dante doing his usual nonsense you will be happy about it. I want to listen to the song some more.

It seems people are mad because DMCV borrows some of its aesthetic from DmC. It's literally the only thing DmC does better than the original series. We don't need another tired-ass gothic setting for the series, like seriously. DMC4, while great, is a very bland-looking game.

And Nero has his own identity rather than looking like "slightly different Dante/Vergil."

If you actually look at the gameplay snippets in the trailer, it looks just like old-school DMC. There's nothing to fear here.

I don't even hate the new direction that much but why is expecting and anime ass series to maintain an anime style such a reach?

Or all games just expected to become photorealistic? Because I really hope Atlus doesn't get that memo if it is.
It's not a reach no but the second Capcom says "this game is made with RE engine" should be a major indication that the characters are gonna be photorealistic.

"Anime art direction doesn't look good with photo-realism!"



Did anyone say that? I think the idea is to remove the anime in everything they can, while still being an anime game at heart. I like this approach, because it looks like a Hollywood movie I'd actually want to see.

I think the anime art flourishes of the prior games weakened the action and cutscenes a bit. When I see Nico spinning around in a van, catching a cigarette in her mouth, it looks like an insane stunt.

I'm pretty sold on the bike being an devil arm. It looks pretty demonic to me.

edit: Also.. Please give alt vergil outfit where he turns into Nelo :(
