>>386946238
This. The gameplay, art design and music were really good. Only things that were trash about the game was the usual western design of bad boss fights (though nothing was as offensively bad as the final boss fight in DMC1 & 4) and too many cut scenes mid mission.

Ew, get the fuck out kid. If DMC ever had the ability to go anywhere else, it needs to go to Platinum, just so Kamiya can finally make his DMC2. Hope it would retcon CUHRAYZEE ninja turtle Dante and bring Alastor back too.

And now the franchise is dead

What's your point?

>>386946469

Neither DmC: DE and DMC4:SE sold over 1 million, so we don't know exact numbers, sadly.

I'm not sure if comparing the first three games with HD edition is fair. DMC4 vs. DmC is the most fair assessment. Both modern consoles, both have additional editions out. Any way you slice it, DmC sold significantly worse than 4, by the millions. Why they thought Westerners would have some magic power is beyond me. Ninja Theory games never sold that well. 1.9 million is completely within their range.

Game wasn't designed around lock-on anyways. Never had problems with the original controls other than the dumb jump+shoot input. Which is still in DE if memory serves.

Amusing that around the release of DmC DE, that a lot of DmC mods got nuked.

>>386947898
I doubt those numbers are even accurate. Well over million has the game on pc alone which is not even the main platform for that type of shit.

Still it's weird why people care about sales. Sure I'd care a lot if I'd been investing money to X company or worked there etc. But as someone who has no ties to let's say capcom in this case, why should I care? And no not getting a new game from certain company because they're game "flopped" (we apparently live in a world where like 2 million units sold is flop) doesn't affect my life whatsoever

>>386946358
That's because it wasn't as simple as bringing it to new platforms in terms of business/PR side.
DmC underperformed and DE was an effort to recover some sales on new platforms. But what about PC? If you charge $40 for an upgraded version of the not so old game without some kind of offer to owners who already own the game, it might create some bad rep. If you go and give a special offer (like price off) to already existing players, people might go for discounted version, instead of the "cash grab" version.

>>386948589
>I doubt those numbers are even accurate.
These are actively updated official numbers from publisher, unlike SteamSpy, which isn't guaranteed to be perfectly accurate. Not to mention Humble Bundle, I doubt Capcom counts them on their site.

Who blocked DMC5 and hired Ninja Theory?

It was Inafune-san. He was pushing for Western devs at Capcom after 2009.

>>386950542
Actually originally Ninja Theory tried to make it similar to older games, but Capcom went and told them to make it "western".

The thing that gets me about the sniper abortion is that /v/ actively condemned it whereas if it were any other game they would love it, only because they wanted to kill the reputation of this game by any means. I am by no means defending the game at all, just this one scene.

I really wish the Vergilsaurus was real

>>386948589
>we apparently live in a world where like 2 million units sold is flop
You have to remember the absurd budgets that go into AAA games and the marketing these days. It basically means they spent so much that even 2 million sales wasn't enough to turn a substantial enough profit (or any at all) to justify the effort.

"Gaming media" are mouth breathing retards. You have no clue how stupid these people are. They do zero research into old games, and are there mostly to interview, and promote current games. At some point the "father of mega man" meme started, and it's been impossible to dislodge since.

KYS fucking cuck, it's not their series, there was NEVER EVER any dmc game on shitendo platforms

DmC was a cyberpunk game without anything that makes a cyberpunk protagonist cool. You could easily see all the cyberpunk stuff in the game but they still tried to keep the magic/demon stuff in which didn't work. If they had turned Dante into a techno-demon it probably would've worked better, but they were too focused on destroying Dante to make Donte seem cool.

Plus the boss fights were bad, and the color-coded enemies were lame. And the platforming wasn't that great. What a mess of a game. DMC1 is my favorite out of the series and I wish they had just kept Kamiya on board.

Oh, that would have been interesting. Re-interpret the series in a cyberpunk setting. His sword could be some kind of futuristic weapon. Nano-tech = magic power-ups. I could see that working.

I really do feel that DmC would have worked better had they just dropped the "Devil May Cry" name. Keep the gameplay, but use a different name, so it doesn't piss off the fans and can be its own thing.

In DMC1, DMD enemies activate DT if you take too long to kill them. DT enemies take twice as long to kill, but your DT is strong enough to cancel out the effects of it.
In DMC3, DMD enemies activate DT if they see X number of fellow enemies die, which forces you to finish enemies with AoE attacks to avoid triggering DT (which completely contradicts the 'focus on one enemy at a time' idea that you're supposed to follow). DT enemies take four times longer to kill, and your DT gives fuck all damage boost, so enemies turn into damage sponges.

Not even a platinumfag, just a kamiya one.

>DmC's original release
>HA HA THOSE OLD DEVIL MAY CRY FANBOY LOSERS CARE ABOUT 60 FPS

>DmC special edition
>Uses 60 FPS as a selling point in the trailer

The DmC remaster sold more than the DMC4 remaster you idiots.

>>386957649
Then you should have said that you dongle.
Also where are your proofs?

>>386957487
Even though I'm not that bothered by 30 FPS myself, I still laughed at how much Ninja Theory and Capcom were trying to bullshit everyone. That was even dumber than the "30 FPS IS CINEMATIC" argument people try to make.

>pre-release
>haha old dante is a FAG lmao!!

>post-release
>h-hey guys look it's his old costume we put it in the game haha p-please buy the game

>>386957649
Nah, Capcom didn't even mention DmC:DE the fiscal quarter it was released, while digital revenue increased by 100% the quarter DMC4 was released (it was digital only in the west) and actually got name dropped in report.

>>386953785
To me, DmC was the Tortanic. I don't play Bioware games or MMOs, so I didn't care about The Old Republic, but I spent a lot of time as a teenager playing DMC1 and DMC3, so DmC being an edgy downgrade to those games just really rustled my jimmies.

>but I spent a lot of time as a teenager playing DMC1 and DMC3, so DmC being an edgy downgrade to those games just really rustled my jimmies.
Same. I tried to keep an open mind but the gameplay just left me feeling bored too.

Here's some backstory if you want to know why they rebooted DMC of of all games.

You'd think Capcom would be happy with the 2-3 million sales of DMC games. You're wrong. God of War games sell like 8 million copies. That's what Capcom wanted. Keiji Inafune got the idea to appeal more to a Western audience for more sales. This is how "Shadow of Rome" (2005) was made. The idea was to make a Devil May Cry action style game, but was give it a Western setting to appeal to Westerners. It got good reviews, but middling sales. SoR was made by the Japanese and merely aped Western settings. As Exec Producer, he cancelled the planned sequel and put the team to work on Dead Rising.

Inafune then continues to rise in the company, until he rose to head of R&D and head of production making him one of the most powerful people in the company by 2010. In 2009, he decided that Western games were the future, and that Japanese games were dead. So he went back to the idea of a Westernized Devil May Cry game but this time, he would have a Western studio produce the next Devil May Cry game. So Inafune blocked plans for DMC4:SE and DMC5, and him and his Right Hand Man Ben "It's better than nothing" Judd found Ninja Theory and they were hired. Ninja Theory then suggested a full reboot rather than a sequel. Inafune left Capcom in Oct. 2010, just 1 month after DmC was announced. So he didn't oversee the game itself, but he put everything in motion.

This was just one game out of several where Inafune pushed Western devs in the time period of 2009-2013. Lost Planet 3, Dead Rising 3-4, Bionic Commando were all done by Western Studios. Bionic Commando was a 20 million dollar bomb, that led to Ben Judd, then a promising new Producer at Capcom to be ousted from the company. He would then move to DDM, an agency company where he would continue his crimes against gaming. He was the brainchild behind Scalebound, and Mighty Number 9 and Bloodstained's kickstarter campaigns.

Hey Dante will we meet again?

No. Fuck you.

>>386960403
This is silly because DMC1 already had western influences in both setting and story. And music.

>>386957403
It was some random journalist who said the people who cared about 60fps were losers, not NT. There's nothing wrong with the devs using it as a selling point desu

>>386946112
They should have just kept it as a completely new game instead of throwing in Dante and Vergil's names and trying to cash in on that.

>>386960403
I don't doubt for a second that Inafune was the mastermind behind DmC but saying he "blocked" DMC4SE and DMC5 is silly. Itsuno was tired after making 3 DMC's back to back and actually wanted a break.

>>386961317
I said in an earlier post that DmC was basically a cyberpunk game that didn't fully embrace anything that makes cyberpunk cool. It was split between cyberpunk and magical/demonic fantasy, and neither came through well. If they had fully embraced the cyberpunk aspect it would've been better. But they focused too much on shitting on Dante to make Donte look better.

>>386960690

This is why Nu-Dante doesn't work. I know people JUST like him. Those edgy punks in the real world? They're all tremendous dumbasses. High school drop outs, scumbag junkies, with Anarchist symbol clothing. They're so stupid. Now make a game where you're trying to tell the players that this guy is actually COOL and we should look up to him.

>Nu-Dante
Just say Donte like everyone else.

>>386961707
Tameem self-inserted as Donte which made it seem awkward. It just felt like what an out of touch 40 year old would think a cool 20 year old is supposed to be like.

He said Dante would get laughed out of bars but he would fit in perfectly in industrial/goth bars (like what the music was from DMC1!), he wasn't a punk.

A red overcoat isn't even THAT outlandish.

so guys

Monster Hunter World pretty much destroys the notion of a Dragon's Dogma 2 for the time being

Itsuno's new pretty much HAS TO BE DMC5 at this point

One can only hope anon.

>>386962349

impossible

capcom's financials literally foretold of a western monster hunter game along with a new entry in the dmc series

IT'S GUARANTEED ANON

>>386962254
Pretty sre that's new IP

>>386946653
>Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade all getting/got entries this year
>in Zelda, Mario and Pokemon case those new entires were major departures
>Kirby, Yoshi and Metroid coming back next year
>Star Fox, Paper Mario both had entries last year that everyone hated because they were too different
What the fuck are you even talking about? Listen autismo, I miss Wave Race too but that was never a major IP.

>>386946212
There is absolutely no indication Nintendo would ever do Devil May Cry justice. They have zero experience with making similar games and have a history of going to great lengths to sacrifice depth for accessibility. Even if they backed off from that ideology for DMC because they knew they were targeting a different audience, it's really up in the air whether or not they'd have the sensibilities to put together a good game. There's just no precedent.

>>386955561
What? The only one that looks different is the in-game model. The other three are all pre-rendered and all look like the same guy at different angles.

>>386963537
Nah I don't think it's the angles. 3 has a thinner face and different mouth/nose from 1. 4 has a blockier face. They all look a bit off because of the uncanny valley effect except for the in-game model too.

>>386963805
Faces always look more square when observed from below, likewise they taper off more when seen from above, as do noses look straighter, also when seen from above. None of those seem like they were changed to me, certainly not the mouth on any of them.

>>386963597
The man has yet to make a sequel to any of his games, yet is actually vocal about wanting to continue this one series. Life just isn't fair

>>386965710
Hopefully he gets to make Wonderful 202
