Devil May Cry From Reboot, To Alternate Universe, Now Origin Story? What BS

GamerFitNation's BackBible talks about Ninja Theory's changing the new DMC story from Reboot, to Alternate Universe, and now Origin Story. He question's if Developers are trying to play on Gamer intelligence or are they simply trying to find their footing.

they don't even care about how many fans of the franchise feel towards the changes

BLACKBIBLE4536d ago

Read full story, there you see my thoughts about how they are just trying to save face.

crxss4536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

DMC4 was a disappointment and Capcom knows it. 3 was the best in the series and 1 is great too. But 2 and 4 were just not good. DMC should stick with the reboot statement, that way they can start anew and ignore those 2 black sheep. Origin story and alternate universe don't make sense since he's the son of a demon and an angel in this one. At this point we'll just have to wait for the game to come out to see how good it is. I'm staying optimistic about it since they apparently have hardcore DMC players helping with development.

I never bought 4 and will definitely buy the reboot, new Dante reminds me of dmc3 Dante mixed with Johnny Quid (google it and watch the movie if you don't know who I'm talking about)

Algonath4536d ago

How the hell was DMC 4 a "disappointment"? It was fantastic and had everything a fan would want except for Dante's bro V. Dmc 3 was good too.

ABizzel14536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

I'll gladly be in the minority for this one.

@crXss

I completely agree with you. Devil may Cry 4, was a disappointment. It did everything right, but it was a boring game. It felt soulless, there was nothing that stood out about the game, it was like Capcom went down a checklist of how to make a game. DMC 3 was the best in the franchise.

I too am fully optimistic about this new DmC. One thing I don't get is why there's so much hate towards Ninja Theory.

THEY'RE BEING PAID TO DO A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like anyone else in the industry or in life, if you're working for someone and they're paying you, then it's your job to fulfill their request. Don't sit there and b!$@# and complain about Ninja Theory when Capcom were the ones who HIRED THEM TO REBOOT DMC. Personally I would have picked Platinum games, but I guess there's bad blood between them and Capcom seeing how many of them once worked for Capcom, but a job's a job.

And don't hate and complain about their game when you haven't even played it. Turning this into an origin story over a reboot doesn't make sense, because Dante is older in the previous games and knows he's half demon, so how can they go back and change that, unless he loses his angel powers in this or future games.

Speaking of story, it's nice that DmC will finally have one, because the previous DMC games have some of the most uninspired stories of action gaming. DMC 3 only had a decent story because it involves Dante and Virgil, but if you look beyond that you realize the entire DMC3 is about Dante scaling a tower to fighter Virgil, what's good about that story.

You speak of intelligence in this video. Most of the people complaining about the changes have to be adults, and as adults you all should be ashamed of yourselves. Too many of so called DMC fans are filled with so much hate and nagging over a freaking video game. Stop it.

Kevin ButIer4535d ago

DMC4 was a real shame, i was so pissed when you find out that dantes levels are the same but backwards... i mean FU capcom how cheap is that

"DMC4 was a disappointment and Capcom knows it. 3 was the best in the series and 1 is great too. But 2 and 4 were just not good. DMC should stick with the reboot statement, that way they can start anew and ignore those 2 black sheep."

I don't necessarily think that means Capcom need to abandon the original series entirely. Capcom have invented a great history, characters and gameplay with the DMC series. They just need to learn how to implement it properly. They were on the right track with DMC3. So it would be a shame if they abandoned it completely in favor of the reboot.

i'll be straight up with this and i like what they doing with the game what i dont like is what they doing with Capcom's Dante and we cant all blame NT on this cuz really Capcom has approved of it but its like MG Rising a dif. company gets the game and do their thing i have no prob with it but they didnt try to change Raiden basically they just change the story a little and ppl are pissed but its better off than this game to be honest either way i'll buy it play it and sell it off thats about it nuff said

TheBlackMask4536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

lol...So true

It seems like NT don't even know what they want, it's like "Oh crap what we said last time isn't calming down fans, you know if this game does crap in sales were finished....better say something else"

I just hope to god that the people who feel the same will stick to their guns and not buy it and the people who are in two minds will just WAIT and HANG ON for it to go in the bargain bin.

dmc will do poorly in sales, NT will be ruined bascialy wishing that they just stuck to Heavenly Sword 2, Capcom will loose money and will make it so they will stop using western developers any more thus them getting a massive wake up call for next gen so they go back to their old ways what made them so great in the first place.

If we want Capcom to change, we have to. If we want a new DMC 5 game we have to make that happen and the only way we have doing that is by having control over the sales. That's why I hate the people who moan and then go "Well I have to give it a try" and buy it on day one....even if you still don't like it all your doing is giving NT and Capcom a happy sale.

Anyway I liked the video BlackBible, much better then HipHopGamer or any other gamer videos you find on N4G.....your videos just seem more down to earth if you know what I mean

FunAndGun4536d ago

definitely agree with your last part about BlackBible....dude needs a tripod though!

Frankfurt4536d ago

It's Capcom's fault, not NT. NT has got nothing to do with the planning and decision-making. Or maybe yoiu have missed the dozens of terrible choices Capcom has made in the last couple years?

BLACKBIBLE4536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

Thanks for the kind words guys. Truth be told I'm getting tired of developers, BSing's us like we're stupid. I rather them say "We're changing Dante deal with it!" then what they are doing now. All this game is, is a New I.P milking of the name Dante. Dev's new damn well that we were going to be pissed at Dantes new look. So they came up with these ridiculous story arch to save face.

@FunAndGun You're right about me need a Tripod LOL

FunAndGun4536d ago

lol, either that or it was one hell of a tremor!

keep doing your thing man.

zerocrossing4536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

Im totally with you on this.

DMC is one of my favourite franchises and I hate what NT are doing to it, not only have they lied to us and passed our concerns off as petty fanboy cries, but they seem content on continuing to do so.

As a new IP the game looks interesting, but as a DMC game it looks like a joke IMO.

thaking1554536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

Just call this a different game and make Devil May Cry 5 a sequel not a prequel. That's all I ask for, not a prequel that completely changes that backstory... That's been fleshed out and layed in stone... Oh wait...

But seriously not excited about this game being that it is called and considered a DMC game.

HD Collection here I come!

tiffac0084536d ago

They could have made their jobs easier if they:

-Just didn't touch the original character design and the origin of Dante and then rebooted the series.

or

-Could have just said this is set in an alternate universe from the beginning because they don't want to be insensitive to the fans of DMC by totally disregarding the original universe.

I have a feeling this latest clarification from NT came from what they saw with Metal Gear: Rising Reveangance, where Kojima and Platinum games confirmed the game as a spin-off rather than a canon to the original series, making the blow to the MGS fans significantly less shocking since the original timeline is kept and remains untouched.

zerocrossing4536d ago (Edited 4536d ago )

I agree, If NT and Capcom stated from the start that DmC would be set in a alternate reality I would have been OK with it.

but then they came out with it's a "Reboot" like the franchise really needed one? and now Dante is a Angel/Devil on top of being a emo/punk druggie, I mean WTF? and now suddenly this game is a origin story! I'm gonna pass on this and maybe get it second hand either way Capcom and NT won't be getting any of my hard earned cash ;D

VileAndVicious4533d ago

@tiffac008

"They could have made their jobs easier if they:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ummm... you do realize NT are contracted to work under capcom for this game right?? Meaning for the time being they are employees of Capcom. Capcom told NT to change Dantes design. Whens the last time you told your boss that you didnt want to do what he/she told you to do?

Also it is capcom and NOT NT that decided to make this a reboot/prequel/preboot/alterna te universe/ whatever it is now. You guys are like angry villagers with torches and pitchforks. Your angry but you dont even know who to be mad at.

Im not saying NT are the most likable developers but geeze cut them some damn slack. Half of the things you guys keep accusing them of arent even their fault.

tiffac0084532d ago (Edited 4532d ago )

The only time I mentioned NT specifically was regarding how Kojima pro and Plat games did with MGR:R

I apologize for not putting Capcom in my comment and probably is the reason for the confusion but if your looking for real haters around here who doesn't know the facts, your barking at the wrong tree.

Alos884536d ago

Dino: Don't worry guys, in the future I dye my hair white, stop smoking and get a sense of humour... wait, what do you mean you don't care? Come back, COME BACK!

kingPoS4536d ago

I'll be playing the HD collection first.

J86blum4536d ago

Thats all I need, until a proper DMC title is made, DMC4 im very meh about, I have it cause im a fan, but I don't like the new lead. DMC5 should be Dante, and Vergil I don't care how outlandish the story has to be to bring vergil back as long as they do it.

kingPoS4536d ago

I've only played DMC1 briefly on the ps2, I also have the DMC4 demo. So it's practically new to me. ^_^ It's new if you haven't played it yet.

That's why I like all these HD collections.
Games like Jax & Daxter.(only had the 1st one)

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 launch trailer will send shivers down your spine

Ninja Theory's latest trailer for their highly anticipated narrative action-adventure Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is absolute cinema.

Reaper22_2h ago

Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.

z2g2h ago

badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.

jwillj2k41h ago

Here we go again. Is this a game or a choose your own adventure???

purple1011h ago

if you choose left, turn to page 39, if you proceed forward, turn to page 43, to turn right, page 209, you finished the book early,

no but seriously this looks like Microsofts first hit, or should I say, first game of standout quality.

jwillj2k41h ago

Never questioned the quality. Question is will there be a need for the controller.

Elda1h ago

LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.

rlow11h ago

It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 12h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga1d 12h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot1d 11h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B1d 10h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga1d 9h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb1d 5h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya15h ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

fsfsxii1d 12h ago

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid1d 12h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman1d 12h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Come on State of Play already!!!

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

MeteorPanda10d ago

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.
