Devil May Cry 5

[Suicidal]

I decided to (re)play the entire series before this comes out + I've never played 1 & 2 and the reboot.

1 was pretty good, but dated as fuck with some of the most autistic camera angles in the series.

2 was such a fucking meme holy shit, I don't understand how the series didn't die after that game.

1 was pretty good, but dated as fuck with some of the most autistic camera angles in the series.

The camera angles, backtracking and puzzles are the result of the game starting out as a Resident Evil game. Somewhere in the early development they figured the game had way to much action to be an RE so they decided to make a new IP instead.
DMC1 is still the most atmospheric one in the series.

2 was such a fucking meme holy shit, I don't understand how the series didn't die after that game.

That's because the director of 2 was not Hideki Kamiya (the creator of DMC1 and one of the founder of Platinum Games). The game was supposedly developed by that unknown director for almost a whole year, and apparently after all that time they only had artwork and some models. So Capcom stepped in, canned that guy and replaced him for Hideaki Itsuno (director of DMC3/4 & Drangon's Dogma). And they only gived him about 5/4 months to complete the game, after which it would be shipped the way it was.
So really DMC2 is pretty much still a Alpha version of the potential game.

In that final stream they talked about why this has better faces than Resident Evil 2 Remake, (and I'm guessing RE7) they did the face scans somewhere else: Some place in Serbia. Apparently it's one of the best places in the world to do face scans for video games, don't remember where he said the Resident Evil ones were done but it wasn't there.

I will actually play this game on release or the day after release. That's something rare.

At first I was raging inside reading this, but then I realized that these comments mean that the game does not cater to retards like these, and I became a happy puppy.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

How the fuck do they not know how to dodge?
Either jump over or hold the target button and press the jump button, with the movement stick either to the left or right, at the same time. How hard can that be?
And some guys also cracked me up saying that the target mechanic was old shit and that DmC was better these regards.

 

[Suicidal]

Inb4 mostly negative steam reviews because people couldn't figure out the basic controls.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

They've reached a new level of stupidity. I've seen some dumb fucking shit come out of that crowd before, but this is just another level. Even in the GAF era that bunch seemingly understood action games. I hope that thread is full of people telling them how fucking stupid they are.

English subtitles are available

In this special episode toco toco, we headed west to Osaka to follow Hideaki Itsuno, director of the upcoming Devil May Cry 5 and the duo Yasuhiro Anpo & Kazunori Kadoi, directors of the critically acclaimed and recently released Resident Evil 2 remake. Separated between two floors, the three game directors opened their doors to their respective development areas and introduced us to the places that inspire them, ranging from book stores to retro gaming shops in Osaka’s Nipponbashi area, over the course of two days.

 

[Jinn]

Hideaki Itsuno is a true brother. A developer who actually enjoys playing videogames, urges his team to play games, and makes good games? Imagine that.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

The best people in a given field/craft, are usually the ones that have passion/fulfillment in what they do.

DMC2 is the only one I skipped. I was shocked by this this morning:

They're "voice artists" now?

 

[Wunderbar]

Nico is way better in game.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

^Let's see how many they manage to check.

 

[Jinn]

Went ahead and snagged this off of Green Man Gaming today for $44. I have no doubt it's going to be excellent, so I thought I might as well grab it on sale now because it's going to be awhile before it goes this deep again. Wanted to get it from a known reputable key store because I'm definitely voting with my dollar on this one. Here's hoping for Dragon's Dogma 2 coming up next on Itsuno's schedule.

Looking forward to Friday and my first playthrough of it, with hopefully several more on harder difficulties later well into the future.

They're "voice artists" now?

I acknowledge that actors and voice actors are artitsts, but calling them voice artists is just pretentious.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

JUST 2 DAYS LEFT!!!

Press F to all those who didn't make it to see such incline...

They're "voice artists" now?

I acknowledge that actors and voice actors are artitsts, but calling them voice artists is just pretentious.

When I hear "voice artist" someone like Michael Winslow comes to mind, not a voice actor.

[Dedicated_Dark]

Hey guys reviews are in and here is one you can fill your bingo card with:

https://www.cgmagonline.com/reviews/devil-may-cry-5-ps4-review/


"In a post Bayonetta world, Devil May Cry 5 had a lot to prove to assert itself as a relevant mainstay against its contemporaries"

"Lady and Trish return, and watching these two women, who have been typically portrayed as just as capable and powerful as the men of these games, relegated to damsels in distress with zero agency of their own or chances to shine is more than disappointing, it feels disrespectful. This is especially apparent when, around the midpoint of the game, DMC5 sexualizes both characters in consensually problematic ways."

"It’s just unexceptional in the face of games that have revitalized a genre as recently as the past two years. God of War, Bayonetta 2, and Nier: Automata all stand out as stellar, modern examples of what the action genre is capable of."
