Devil May Cry 5

The original creator of DMC has been working with SEGA on an action title called Bayonetta.

Official Site

Hideki Kamiya claims it will redefine everything that we learned in DMC, as how DMC redefined everything we learned in Resident Evil. Big promise. Let’s hope this lives up to it. The woman is an Angel Hunter by the way. Although seeing what we learned in DMC, angels are demons anyways (since real angels evidently don’t even manifest on Earth). Probably also done that way, so CAPCOM doesn’t get angry: Dante being THE Devil Hunter. Everyone knows Devil Hunter Yoko was just a fluke. :stuck_out_tongue:

I played DMC3 and DMC4. Both were awesome, DMC4 was a bit more awesome. I would be really exited but I don’t think my laptop would support DMC5(it didnt play DMC3) :frowning:

#11

In case anyone hasn’t heard the news, DMC5 was outsourced by CAPCOM to a British game company. Confirms those rumors that the original creator, left on unfriendly terms (and why he made Bayonetta). :frowning:

In other news: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kitFV4F8hbM]perfect use of Royal Guard in DMC3 final battle[/url] (probably the most epic battle of twincide ever). 8)

Also Dante has been hinted to be appearing in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - finally!!!

(can see his outline next to the wrist of Chris, drawing his sword)

It would seem the creator isn’t fond of doujinshi for his works:

He should serve them with C&D’s. :stuck_out_tongue:

Although I find it kinda amusing that he didn’t stop all the Dante and Virgil twincest. :o

#14

I find the comment pretty interesting, especially since I stumble across a lot of porn, just because it is based on a series/stuff I like

#15

Here’s what they revealed at TGS for the next DMC.

Though seriously, why make another game where Dante isn’t our main hero? :evil: I can understand Nero, but… The only other possibility is this is Dante’s new look, and I pray to God that’s not the case.

#16

That is the new Dante. It’s a reboot designed specifically for the American market. Here’s the official teaser trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCcIiEBfdGs

The original Dante design was considered… “too bishonen” or something retarded like that. So they picked Edward Cullen as a new template. :roll: However fan outcry on both sides of the ocean has begun, and it’s not pretty. CAPCOM may change gears. Remember that in DMC4, Dante was never supposed to be playable, but the fans when into havoc mode until CAPCOM relented.

Some back story on the situation: Hideki Kamiya is the original creator of DMC. He left CAPCOM under some not too nice terms (creative differences is the politically correct term). That’s why Bayonetta? was released under SEGA. Kamiya has stated that Bayonetta is the “spiritual” successor to DMC and strongly hinted that elements in the game, would have been in a DMC5 if he were in charge: Bayonetta is DMC5 in new skin.

DMC5 is getting rebooted with all sorts of changes, because the original idea man and his team are working for someone else. If you want the “real” DMC experience, gotta play Bayonetta. :expressionless:

EDIT
On a side note: it’s stupid development plans like these, that really make me question that “Western influence” is saving the console industry. Dante is too bishonen… sheesh… as if that was a problem for him being the badass everyone loved.

#17

So this will likely be the action game equivalent of the American Godzilla movie. How nice.

Though if Capcom no longer has the license to use the original Dante’s image, then how’d they get him to be in the upcoming Capcom vs. Marvel 3?

#18

Capcom owns Dante and all DMC material, as well as everything else Hideki Kamiya made for them. Usually when your work for a corporation, what you develop, belongs to the company… not to the person. That’s actually one of several reasons why he left. For example Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi invented Mario, but neither own him. He completely belongs to Nintendo. It’s also why in a recent interview, when asked if Bayonetta and Dante would costar together in a future game, Kamiya said, “that’s up to Capcom.”

Capcom isn’t using the old Dante design, because the outsource company and the USA branch choose to remake him from scratch.

The guys working on the reboot explain themselves:

Looks like at least the storyline we all knew won’t be retconned:

Maybe fan outcry is helping

#21

CAPCOM is very receptive to fans complaining about something loudly. From DMC, to RE, to Rockman… CAPCOM has changed a game in mid development, to suit the fans.

Looks like Ninja got a memo to get their shit together and stop ruining one of the company’s leading flagship series.

Here’s what CAPCOM had to show us of the new game:

This trailer has managed to get my opinion to waver a little in the positive direction. The gameplay element does look like it could be fun like the previous games, though I can’t say for sure since this is so short. We do see Dante’s hair turn white in battle so it could mean the story for this game will be seeing him grow into the hero we all know and love, which I will admit could be good if done right. Sadly there’s not much for me to have faith in for that.
One big complaint I have is the graphics, the trailer looks like it’s for an early PS2 game.

On the whole I’m only slightly more interested in this new DMC than before, but honestly I’m more interested in FF13-2 than DMC5.

#23

In DMC5, Dante’s hair turns white when he goes all Super Saiyan. I suppose an actual Devil Trigger is Super Saiyan 2. :roll:

Don’t direct and model.

#25

Has Capcom finally realized the fans don’t like Dante’s new look?

It seems we have a change to Dante (and presumably Vergil’s) backstory :evil:

According to this the fifth game is now an alternate universe and has nothing to do with the Dante we all know and love (and would have preferred):
