It looks better than when it was first announced (seriously, what was with that original art? God it was awful) but I'm still very wary of it. Ninja Theory hasn't made a great game in a long time, imo. From what footage as been shown, it seems like it'll at least play okay, but I'm worried that they don't have the feel and style of DMC as it was. Things like removing the taunt and so on are pointing in that direction.

Also, I still don't understand why they even felt the need to reboot the franchise. Granted, DMC4 wasn't the greatest, but I thought it still sold okay. Not to mention, DMC4 not doing well is probably the fault of the game, not the brand. DMC3 is still one of my all time favorite games.

So, not very excited about it. Am still butthurt over the reboot. Am still worried about the gameplay and style. I'll definitely try it if there's a positive reception, but I personally doubt it.

I fucking love Devil May Cry.

And watching the original trailers my heart sunk. Seeing the weapon was a scythe my hopes died.
But watching the latest gameplay videos I will allow a smidgeon of optimism to remain. The gameplay looks like it should and some of the environments are borderline sexy.
Perhaps it will go some to way to assuage the insult still felt by the way halfway through DMC4 you turn around and replay the first half as Dante. With the same bosses, god dammit. You lazy bastards Capcom.

...and Dante wasn't even fun to play in 4! All I wanted the whole time was Nero's arm back!

Unfortunately the flagship versions of the game being 30fps says a lot about the game .

I just want a game like dmc 3 and I'll be happy, it's my fav game of the series. I actually didnt follow up on this too much, cause I was kinda disappointed what I saw initially...might have to give it a look.

I've been playing a lot on my pc recently....not much on my console (havent played gaiden 2 and ff13 too..the discs are just lying there...).

Haha yeah! I was thinking the same thing, I was like wait...this is supposed to be the best part...but it feels clunky!

This move could either prove to brilliant or a huge failure which will prompt them to go back to their internal development. I really like the vibrant color scheme, its kind of refreshing. Hopefully it is as good as I think it will be.

Yeah Unreal Engine 3 is extremely taxing. While visuals receive a great deal of enhancements, it kind of comes as a tradeoff for higher frame rate. I hope that the next consoles will have the majority of titles on 60fps.

I've been a fan of the series since DMC 1, and played each one at or near release. I've enjoyed every single one (yes even DMC 2, even though that is a definite lowpoint in the series), with 3 definitely being the best in the series, imo (the special edition where you can play as Virgil is particularly amazing).

Like most, I was skeptical of this reboot, but I'm definitely willing to give it a chance. I WILL be waiting for reviews, however, as Ninja Gaiden 3 (my other favorite action series) seems to be completely botched. I'll probably be willing to try it if it even gets just mediocre or mixed reviews, because the series means a lot to me. I'm just hoping it isn't a complete disaster.

Tbh the white-haired, red-coated Dante does look a bit dated and mid-90's for video games right now, even one that isn't especially serious like DMC. I can understand why Capcom might want to try something different, and given that DMC (beyond possibly the first one) has never been a huge seller, they want to take a risk and try an outside developer. I feel like the 3d, high difficulty action genre has been flagged in this generation of super-casual, super-entitled gaming, so it probably doesn't stand to be a big money-maker either way.
