DmC ending leaked

[TehCookie]

There, there - now you feel special But it's not your fault, really - I'm not sure I would have caught what I said. I think I phrased it in a very special way as well.

EDIT: Still, though - was that fight on Easy or something? Why did the player just throw the same combo over and over again? The basic one, even.

The video poster said they were playing on Normal. Again, goes to show how sloppy NT are as designers

What stands for NT? I am not quite ssure whtf fodes that mean,

Ninja Theory, the devs of the new DmC.

Crap, they took the video down. You guys haven't recorded it by any chance, did you?

No - even if I did, I couldn't upload it. Not easily, anyway - my upload speed is crap. But there would be a mirror somewhere - search YouTube (I won't, since even if I find a video, it might be taken down soon).

If you want a recap, the storywise, it's this

Here's a transcript:
Donte: We beat the bad guy and saved the world.
Vergin: Yes, and I will rule over them.
Donte: That's bad, don't do that.
Vergin: No
Donte: Let's fight

-fighting with cutscenes every 30 seconds-

Donte: I win I'm going to kill you
Squirrel Girl: Don't!
Donte: Okay
Vergin: Bye

while fight-wise - Vergil is almost like before - has the floating swords and a katana. It's pretty much the first battle from DMC3. He doesn't use Judgement Cut, as far as I saw, but I think he had a new gimmick with the floating swords - he...threw them I believe (horizontally spinning) - it's kinda hard to make out, may have been Judgement Cut, too. Also, at one point, Vergil made a doppleganger of himself. That's about it. Dante just used the three slash combo with the sword for the whole battle, some dodges and Million Stab 3-4 times. That, too, was like the first battle in DMC3.

I played the demo. I didn't think it was boring, and I didn't think it was bad.

Whether or not it's "good" is something I can't decide on.

Which says something when the demo for Metal Gear Rising instantly convinced me into a Day 1 purchase.

I'm still unsure as to whether or not I will get this. But Day 1 purchase is definitely a no.

A lot of it depends on how you look at it. It's a decent action game, but it's not suppose to be a random action game it's DMC, the king of hack'n'slashes (Bayonetta is the queen) and inventor of the genre.

I understand that. Personally, how I look at it, even though I own every game in the series so far and bought the HD collection(My PS2 doesn't work anymore :/), is that DMC wasn't a consistently great series during all it's main entries. Capcom couldn't even make a proper immediate sequel to the first game's greatness without fumbling it into the dirt.

There's no denying the greatness of DMC3, yes. It actually feels like a sequel to DMC1 without the misdirected failure that DMC2 was. DMC3 is referred to by many as the best game in the series, the best action game on PS2, and among the best action games of all times.

But Capcom went right back to their old habits with DMC4. Or as I like to call it, Nero May Angst or Devil May Backtrack. This game, even though I still like it, was a goddamned mess. Shame too, because all Capcom had to do was take a step forth from DMC3, and they ended up leaping backwards.

Not that I support their decision to dump the game on Ninja Theory. They should've just gotten Hideki to come back one last time to work the magic he refined with Bayonetta on DMC5. How hard could it have possibly been to make a proper DMC5 following the innovations of the 4th? I could ask that very same question to Ninja Theory.

Although now that I think about it, you know what this DmC feels like???? A sequel to DMC2. Think about it.

Or a prequel. Or a reboot. Your point stands, though - it's related to 2 more than the rest.

 

[Servbot 24]

Does anyone even care what Capcom does anymore??

DMC4 has all the groundwork to be a great DMC, they just got halfway and stopped. Dante was suppose to have his own levels and bosses (which is why his Devil Arms are random). If you look through the art book there are tons of scrapped ideas like a full devil trigger for Nero, alternate costumes, and unused enemies.

I have to correct you on that last comment, it's a prequel to DMC2. That theory was mentioned back when they were calling it an alternate universe.

Crap, they took the video down. You guys haven't recorded it by any chance, did you?

A new one is up so it should work now.

Ah that's a shame. It certainly seems that way though. It might've been a bit too ambitious, but if only that game was given all the time it needed. I've been replaying it again lately, and it indeed does have all the groundwork to be a truly great DMC game.

I have to correct you on that last comment, it's a prequel to DMC2. That theory was mentioned back when they were calling it an alternate universe.

I know I know, but that's not what I meant to imply, my fault for not explaining.

Think about DMC1, then DMC2 and 3.

2 seems like they tried to do something different with the game, and everything about it seems to be directed in a fashion unfamiliar to DMC. Even how Dante handles in relation to DMC1.

3 however, most definitely feels like they went back to basics and decided to leap upwards from it. The familiar gameplay from 1 was improved and refined, and we got something that truly feels like a proper sequel. 4 follows this by further refining the gameplay and introducing more innovations to this formula.

1, 3, and 4 are quite consistent with each other. 2 sticks out like a sore thumb.

And I meant to imply, that the new DmC, with all it's unfamiliarities and oddities from the rest of the series; The lack of styles. The dedicated dodge button(or two in this case). The stiff 4-swing sword combos. Double jumping as a standard... It reminds me so much of DMC2.

So Ninja Theory, whether they intended or not, made their DMC game alot like the worst DMC game in the series. Rather than any of the really good ones.

And yet I'd probably still want to play 2 over this one. At least Dante was cool and looked cool there.

I knew what you meant there, just that DmC takes place before DMC2 would so it would be a prequel sequel like DMC3 is to 1. Though DMC2 Dante looks younger than Donte's age since Donte is 27.

EDIT: Oh and old Dante isn't cool anymore, this is the new cool:

"If Dante, dressed as he was, walked into any bar outside Tokyo, he'd get laughed out." -Tamtam

(That is from the official costume pack)

 

[Infernai]

Mother of god.....the cliche and blandness of the scene is tearing apart the very fabric of space and time!

I'm sorry, this looks so BORING compared to past games. THIS is the ending? Urgh, i knew that this was going to be a bad game but boring isn't something i would associate with a DEVIL MAY CRY game. That, or Vergils Dull and Bland aura's have expanded out into the whole game.

Everybody, i think a round of applause is in order: Ninja theory have officially done it. They have not only taken the most intriguing and badass characters and made them so snoreworthingly dull to make grass growing seem exciting by comparison, but they made the most cliche ending possible!

Spoiler

Also, Vergil turned out to be evil...we all saw that one coming a mile off

Wait hold on, he's 27 in DmC????

There was an interview that asked if Tameem designed him after himself, and he said "he's a decade and a half younger than me" and he's 42. Though he was probably referring to his mental age and not his actual one.

Why is Dante's hair white? Sorry, I only played half of DMC3.

 

[TehCookie]

Why is Dante's hair white? Sorry, I only played half of DMC3.

Story wise, he's half demon. Gameplay wise, it made him stand out and easier to follow in the dark DMC1 environments. Donte gets it for awakening his demon side or something in the new game.

 

[gigastar]

Well thats tipped the balance. Ill buy MGR instead and hope that DmC circles the drain.

Why is Dante's hair white? Sorry, I only played half of DMC3.

DmC is not connected to DMC3 in any way. They share the franchise title, and nothing else.

Thanks for explaining
