I can't believe I'm saying this...

[teebeeohh]

i liked it, i love the weapon mapping, limbo looks really nice(though i fear if the whole game is like that i may get fed up) and since i knew what the dialogue was gonna be like i was ok with that.
and what really surprised me was that i was never bothered by the 30fps thing, probably because it is so well done that it never drops(or they were smart enough to design the demo parts well enough)

If we just put our fingers in our ears and chant 'Lalalalalalala' whenever the guy who resembles Vergil is on screen, we should be okay.

But he uses guns. Guns!!!

Well in 2 Dante tells Lucia "devils never cry"

But that WAS the most hated one.

I thought they used that line 2-3 times in the first, too.

Man, this is getting confusing.

 

[Loonyyy]

I'm really looking forward to it. I know it's going to annoy longtime fans of the series, because it's not a strict continuation of the series, and probably singles an end to the original (Which really sucks btw. This would make a better spinoff).

I actually like the character, from what I've seen from the trailers. He's got more of a punk aesthetic, which I'm a big fan of, and I thought that bit with the bouncer was great. That much derided scene from the trailer where he and some boss exchange repeated "Fuck you"s? I preferred that over incessant witty one-liners. But hey, your mileage may vary.

I'm not sure whether to pick it up for PC or xBox though. Not sure if there are any graphical advantages to PC, and I just had a terrible experience with a port (Assassin's Creed 3), so I'm not ready to do that again.

HERESY!!!

anyway, good to here it might actually be good, though i probably still won't get it cause i dislike the developer

 

[lord.jeff]

The only thing that's bugging me is how easy it is to rack up a combo, though I see that as something easy enough to fix by release are just ignore if the rest of the game feels solid. Also the boss fight had to many cutscene interruptions.

I'm think I'm going to be sick.

 

[Icehearted]

I knew I was going to regret opening this thread. Not trying to attack OP, but I wish people would stop with the ambiguous click bait titles.

I have nothing to say about the demo, I had no idea what I was opening and hat to open it to see what this was about. I've never liked the series anyway, so I doubt the demo would make any difference. I can, from an aesthetics point of view, at least get why people are unhappy; I know if they really make Superman darker and give his stories the "Nolan Treatment" it simply wouldn't be superman anymore, even if the story was good.

Is Vergil undercover at a gay bar?

Undercover?

He runs such a fine establishment, while awesome non-reboot Vergil is taking names and kicking ass.

Granted, Vergil's gay bar would probably be an awesome bar. Wouldn't you want to go?

Hmm as long as there are bicurious females for me to hit on then I am in.

 

[Fappy]

So... have we figured out if devils cry yet or what? I have been watching the debate intently and we appear to be at an impasse.

It's a bar. You don't need women, only affordable booze.

 

[DionysusSnoopy]

I just finished the demo its fairly solid cleaving through enemies and being able to switch combat styles with ease. The most striking thing and possibly what i missed most about console games is customising the controls, i don't mean picking the input setup which is closest to your comfort the options allow you to bind the input to what you want i altered quite a bit of the original controller setup.

 

[JagermanXcell]

Funny story, when I played the demo mid way it froze and I had to hard reset my console.
I then go on youtube and discover a ton of demo glitches along with the one glitch I myself got.
Tameem later tweeted that the game is done and there will be no fixes............................... I want you all to digest that into your brains for a second.
Now the Demo: Its a good Ninja Theory game, just not a good DMC game.
-No lock on or taunt, I found this very cringe worthy.
-The humor is just not my taste, I know he's a teen but his idea of humor just doesn't feel like the Dante I grew up with. Plus I feel his personality just doesn't go with the character model.
-Why is the angel weapon useless? But the demon axe OP as hell? haha get it, cause its a demon weapon! Moving on....
-Played on Son of Sparda (the hardest difficulty mind you) and its way way way too easy to get an SSS rank. Clearly this isn't a game for DMC veterans.
-Music is ok, meanwhile the boss battle music is horrid.
-Combat is tight and has great flow, but too slow to compete with DMC's original standard 60fps fast and tight combat that also had great flow. There is also much less variety.
-Settings look really cool. Limbo especially.
-Story seems cliche. Spoiler (not really, just a prediction): VERGIL WILL BETRAY DANTE. Seriously with all we've seen story wise how will this not happen? HOW?!
-Style meter is broken, but you heard Tameem they're not fixing it, oh well dev knows best apparently.
Definitely not paying 60 bucks for a mediocre game, sorry Capcom.

OT: How bout that MGS Rising?! Seems that Platinum knows how to make a good hack n slash feel like DMC better then the new DMC.

 

[Ham Blitz]

Wait, there's a demo? I have to try it. I haven't really followed the DMC series, only playing all of the fourth and part of the third, but having been awhile since playing the 4th, I admit I do miss the combo-tastic fast paced fighting of that series, so I was considering getting this new one. When I get free time (I mean time to play games, not procrastinate from some work like I am currently doing) I must download it.
If it get to it while this topic is still relevant/being viewed, I shall weigh in on the subject! Not that it really matters or anyone cares, but now that I have typed it, it shall happen!!
Unless... unless I delete this comment. No! Wait mouse, don't click that b-

 

[anthony87]

I was one of the naysayers when it was first announced but I started to warm to it as I saw more and now I'm at the stage where I'm really anticipating it, I found the demo to be pretty fucking kick ass. Sure it's not as hard as the older Devil May Cry games, having two buttons for the exact same evade is really stupid and the lack of a lock on makes it annoying to focus on a particular enemy but goddammit it's FUN

As well as being fun, the overall look is fantastic, I'm loving the idea of the whole "Demons hiding in plain sight and influencing us" angle that the game is taking, I love that they brought back Mundus(fanboy squee) and I'm really warming to new Dante's character. Something about the dialogue really rubs me the right way too, not sure what it is but it just seems more...natural.

Now I'm just curious to see how they'll work the Angel/Demon weapon mechanic into Virgil's gameplay or if they'll use those buttons for something completely different.

Oh yeah. That was answered back in DMC 3.

I need women to justify spending cash on booze.

 

[TehCookie]

FUCK YOU!!

Seriously the more I see about this game the more excited I am for it. It's a terrible trainwreck and I can't look away. Someone claiming to be a playtester spoiled the ending and my sides were in space, I pray he's right because it will be The Room of videogames.

Spoiler

"You know how they keep saying it's an alternate universe? It is, and there are time traveling demon-angels from the future that want to save the universe by creating paradoxes and destroying timelines with their time machine that runs on childrens tears."

Oh and Sparda appears for like 10 mins before getting his ass kicked by demon, Dante force feeds Mundus his own children, Vergin is pawn of Mundus, and the actual final boss he turns into a tyrannosaurus with a tiny Vergil head.

It sounds ridiculous but with everything else NT did I'm hoping it's true just to see everyone shit bricks. Just reading it had me in tears of laughter.

As for the gameplay, it's shit. It could of been a meh action game, but it's a terrible DMC.
