DmC is one title that has had a hard time capturing positive attention. Developing the latest iteration of the Devil May Cry series, Ninja Theory has the tricky challenge of creating a solid third person action title for a series that has already solidified a fan base. Unfortunately, initial impressions have been sour, mostly due to the visual style of young Dante (it’s a prequel). The latest screenshots don’t exactly help, either.
Several new screenshots from DmC are viewable below:
Is that Dante? Really? It’s as if Devil May Cry met Twilight, which is something I could only imagine in my darkest nightmares. He sure changed a lot as he got older… for the better.
What do you think of Ninja Theory’s style of Dante? A release window hasn’t been announced, so now is the best time to share feedback. Post what you think before it’s too late in the comments below.
is that a faux hawk hair style? lol
I don’t get how the time works in DmC. In DmC3, Dante was younger. That means it was some before the two other games. But dante was more modern… Now, in this new DmC, Dante is even younger, and more “modern”… and that’s bad.
no, this is a completely different game and story. This is a new boy who also named Dante in a new game which oso called DmC.
“The series is has had a hard time gaining a positive and it’s had a rocky road thus far.”
Proof reading is essential…
I saw his hair turn white in one of the trailers, I wonder if there’s something connected to his powers or something?
I did too. Was glad to see so. I take it that was his Devil Trigger and will likely (hopefully) be a part of the plot.
Dantes hair bawing aside, I was pleasantly suprised with the gameplay trailer. The grainy, gothic architecture seems to still be there. Those enviroments shown reminded me of the early stages from DMC3 and 4.
I’m sure Capcom will work with Ninja Theory to make sure they stay true to the fast, crazy style combat system we’ve come to learn and love.
Keeping an open mind and the hope alive!
