Honestly my only complaint is that it looks so similar gameplay wise to the past games. I was ready for a bigger departure on par with God of War after how long this series has been around.

But it's way too early to say at this point. I'm hoping the stuff outside of combat is very different with a lot more exploration and hopefully some interesting light platforming.
Sorry guy
Devil May Cry is a stylish action game and always will be. It pioneered the damn genre.

Will all three characters have equal play time? Meaning, no character switching or will it be like DMC4 were you play a certain character on a mission?

I think this looks pretty sick. All the combat footage looked like a blast, and the I'm fine with the setting being less fantasy than DMCIV.

No. If you want that, buy DmC.

One thing I want this game to be is balls in on combat. If they want to have a lot of cutscenes to tie it all together then fine, but DMC needs to go back to being all about fucking shit up and looking damn cool while you are doing it.

Their fucking better be bloody palace too...even though it's probably gonna be DLC.

The gameplay gifs look great. I'm gonna need time on that character art style tho.

If REmake 2 looks anything like this then..hooo boy.
Yeah.
Though now I'm a bit worried that Leon's gonna look like RE7 "who the fuck is that?" Chris, lol.

Let's assume I haven't played a Devil May Cry game since 1...and don't remember anything from it...
Which games do I absolutely need to play to catch up?
Because this trailer makes me want to get into this series...
The chronological order is 3 -> 1 -> 4 -> 2. Definitely play 3 & 4, maybe play 1 if you want, & read a summary of 2's story.

I thought the game looked meh at first, but seeing it again in 1080p 60FPS sold me, Nero looks awesome, i love his new haircut, Og nero's design was way too similar to Dante's it was kind of hard to diferenciate them, the guy who took Nero's arm is 100% vergil and he is the big bad guy again for sure.
Dante's design is EXACTLY like DMC4 he just looks older because he has the silver beard with more details now and longer.
Overal i think this game is gonna be the best DMC.

Like I been saying... there's gonna be a lot of crow. People are being emotional right now due to the spectre of DmC. People are going to come around on this game fairly quickly, especially once more gameplay gets shown.

The vast majority of women don't walk around in a top that shows that much of their stomach, that far down past their belly button.

It's absolutely designed with sexuality in mind. This isn't even debatable. I'm not giving a thumbs down on this but it seems weird for anyone to be like, "It's Cindy done right!"

No, it's just... Cindy. Again. In terms of design, as we don't know her personality well enough.

I mean, it's not like devil may cry is a story driven game. Each game is basically a standalone game. You wont be missing much I think. Still, i would recommend playing DMC4

Do we know when they will show off more gameplay? Hoping for a more in-depth walkthrough in the coming days.

I didn't say it had to be shackled to the ground. Just something more on par with a full redesign.

I want to see Itsuno make something even crazier than an action game based on PS2 era design. But like I said, it's way too early to say. I'm sure he has lots of insanely cool new additions in mind.

Fans would revolt if that were the case.

GOW combat was never really excellent, so a redesign made sense.

DMC4's combat is the pinnacle of the character action genre, hell even modern games (bayonetta2, MGRising, Neir automata etc) can't touch it.
Looks like this is keeping the core intact, but adding a bunch of new stuff.

Didn't leaks already say this is what they had in mind? Larger areas with more exploration?

Leon was based on Leo DiCaprio from titanic days anyway. Shouldn't be hard to nail his look on RE2.

And aside from Dantes face this is looking amazing. Shadow die twice and this are the only 2 games that got me hyped from MS conference.

Right, so Nero has short hair, and suddenly everybody loses their minds and thinks it's DmC. Ya'll are crazy. It's fucking Nero. All is well and will be well. Short hair does not a Donte make.

Maybe it's because of where I grew up, but women dress in shorts like that all the time here (Texas). Is it the midriff which is supposed to be tantalizing? I'm not seeing it. And yeah, a whole lot of cleavage is pretty much the go-to when it comes to sexy-ing up designs.
It's not really practical. I think that's the issue, not the clothes really. Like the dude is in jeans and a jacket and she's running around like that. So it's not a weather thing.

Idk, it doesn't really bother me, but I won't defend it.

I want a demo of this released to the public asap. I think a lot of folks are going to come around once they get their hands on it.

Don't fix what ain't broke. There comes a point when evolution is preferable to revolution, and GoW went too far in the direction of the latter for my tastes.

Did you actually watch the trailer?

Of course. That was in response to a post wishing it was more a complete redesign like GoW.

This looks a lot better, watching it again. I think the most offensive thing about it, besides that horrible mechanic lady dialogue, was the music.

thats kinda par for course for Devil May Cry games though, they have the corniest music ever. if its not bootleg Rob Zombie then its bound to be stuff like this.

its a series staple though so I'm kinda glad its back lol

This doesn't really look like DmC at all to me. This seems like the style a lot of Capcom's games have been lately.

Anyway, it looks sweet to me. I'm glad to finally have the old world back. Can't wait

I agree as far as the midriff and the boots, but I guess I'm desensitized to seeing this much skin on a person out in public. I certainly wouldn't equate her design with Cindy's.

Right??? I'm listening to the damn trailer over and over because I'm into that hook that starts when Nero's fighting the giant monster.

DMC1 is still my favourite one, so I'm always going to tell people to play it. You can skip 2. Defo play 3. 4 is worth a play too.

That's fair. I have only played the 4th one so I don't have a lot of exposure to the series, I just know the first one looked cool as hell with all sorts of gothic horror vibes and they have gotten progressively dorkier as the series has gone on. This looks a little less tacky than the 4th one tho, or at least carries its tackiness better.

A person wearing a jacket with an actual gun vs a video game character with a half top and two different gun tattoos pointed directly at her crotch. Wew lad this was not a good comparison.
I fail to see your point on the person vs video game character part. Also, I actually carried guns that way (pointing at the crotch) when I was a child playing cowboys and robbers, and I certainly wasn't trying to be sexy or slutty haha

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Yeah it's not as bad as that. They're going for more of a Suicide Girl look instead of a blonde sex doll look or whatever the hell SE was going for lol

Will wait to see more gameplay but really disappointed in the art style.

Thank God for Platinum and Bayonetta 3. I have more faith that that game won't deviate far from the previous game's art style.

Go play the game again. Game aged really badly and majority of the peoplr would agree.

Played it a few days ago. Is it dated? Absolutely. Is it bad? Absolutely not. Yes it's missing some of the modern features expected of the genre, but it's still a fine action game that works as a perfect base for what came after it.
