DMC: Devil May Cry Features A Not-So-Sexy Version Of A Famous Demon

Kotaku - The DMC: Devil May Cry trailer from E3 showed a hack-and-slash action game set in a dark world where demons/devils control society through media and products. In the game, the main character, Dante, joins forces with an Anonymous-like group called The Order to fight against the demonic rulers. Anyone who played the demo, got to fight one such ruler: The disgusting creature above. But, do you know what its name is?

I wish this site would get banned already. If they can ban HHG for crazy rumors. I dont see why we cant ban Kotaku.

[Them_Bones]

Why do you even care?

[Simon_Brezhnev]

and why do you care about seeing boobs.

[crxss]

@simon I care about seeing boobs

[HammadTheBeast]

Probably because this article is a fresh piece of flamebait steak. Grilled extra long.

It's obvious they're trying to get a rise out of the new DMC haters, now that the "Ugly, Emo, Teen, Dante" parade is cooling down.

[zeeshan]

I don't understand this article at all. What's the point here?

From what I get, they are saying that this game has a villain creature called Succubus and that other games also use this creature as it's a myth and everything and that's it? Perhaps I am missing something...

[SilentNegotiator]

"Why do you even care?"

....because he doesn't want crap sites flooding N4G, perhaps?

[Baka-akaB]

It's true that if HHG got banned for his crap , there no reason Kotaku shouldnt be . hell it should have been banned way faster , given their pretense of professionalism .

It's even ridiculous here , how they reported the news about wada's FF Versus twitter , as if they werent concerned , and werent the ones that started the silly and fake rumor to begin with .

[Run_bare]

Agree, how do we ban them ?

[WeskerChildReborned]

Yea i'm tired of seeing Kotaku's bull like everyday i get on here.

[ApolloTheBoss]

Yes. They spread false rumors in order to get hits. Can you even call this Journalism?

[INehalemEXI]

i dont see bewbs

[sashimi]

They aren't journalist in any sense of the word. They're just people who are too dumb and lazy to get a real job like everyone else. So flamebait stuff = pay the bills lol.

[MEsoJD]

While I agree... HHG went above and beyond false rumors. The guy was cancer... Not a single piece of integrity. A blantant whore. Has Kotaku reached this level? I say nay, but they are sure getting there.

[Darrius Cole]

I don't see how HHG was one bit worse than Kotaku. Making up lies is making up lies. It doesn't matter who you are.

The lastest the example of Kotaku lying about FFvs13 being cancelled when it wasn't is as void of integrity as anything HHG ever did. But this is just the latest example. Kotaku has been doing this crap for years.

[MEsoJD]

@darrius cole

I don't know if you were here around the beginning of N4g, but I was(under a different username) and for the time of HHG. I suggest you do some research as to why HHG was banned from the site. It's not an easy thing to do. I've even had conversation with an angry HHG (and cursing btw) early in because I was questioning his tactics(and in reserved fashion). Let me see if I see have it saved on my old account. :3
Again Kotaku would already be banned if they were doing the alleged things HHG was doing(IMO).

[adorie]

We can clearly see who needs a girlfriend in this comment section.

[ALLWRONG]

Kotaku is a popular website, more popular than N4G.

Anyway what does that have to do with DMC?

[DragonKnight]

Who cares? DmC bastardized the entire franchise and should be burned.

[TheBlackSmoke]

Wow only 6 comments in and here we have the obligatory crying about the reboot comment.

edit: because you guys already played it right?

The point is you seem to care an awful lot about a game you have no interest in. The game was revealed 2 years ago and still we have you entitled armchair developers telling us how much this game sucks.

You dont like it, cool story bro. No need to stink up EVERY piece of news about the game with the same drivel. Dont you have something better to do, like whine about mass effect 3 extended cut perhaps?

@sloth: Hahaha Bleach got cancelled. u mad bro?

[RyuX19]

It's not his fault that the reboot sucks.

[Elda]

@TBS...Well stated,well spoken,well said!!!

[Baka-akaB]

You white knights arent even less silly here . Suddenly it's not good to have an opinion on a game because it's not released yet ?

It's hypocrisy , everyone pass judgement on games they love or hate beforehands , and you too have done it at some occasion i'm quite easily sure of it .

"you seem to care an awful lot about a game you have no interest in. "

Ah the whole what talk about it if you dont like it . Well it's obvious the "haters" actually like the franchise , just not what's done with the game so far .

Peace for those that enjoy it , but as much as they can manifest their optimism about it , so can grumpy people .

Like said below , let the haters hate .

[crxss]

Well I've played it and enjoyed it. I also love DMC3 the most but I'm still giving this a shot.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

I am from SD, so I actually got to play the game at Comic Con a few weeks ago and well I didnt want to say this but the game plays very well. It feels smooth and responsive as the previous iterations and all the Trickster abilities are there as well but more revamped. The ability to do combos is very accessible yet very complex, I often forget that there wasnt any more lock on button and I found myself constantly pressing R1, and R1 in DmC is dodge. That was very very annoying to me. But the fact that it ACTUALLY feels like Im playing Devil May Cry is fantastic. To do the stinger in this game you have to double tap the analog stick the direction you are aiming for and hit triangle. I am not a fan of this but it definitely works. The Gun shooting seems a little weak though. I have to say I feel like Capcom themselves made the gameplay but claim Ninja Theory were the ones to do so just to give them full credit. Because honestly I do not see Ninja Theory EVER pulling off gameplay like this. Overall I couldnt believe I was actually enjoying it, I was really looking forward to being disappointed. lol.

[ChickeyCantor]

"It's not his fault that the reboot sucks."

But objectively we don't know that yet.
People are seriously overreacting to their nostalgia hormones.

[WeskerChildReborned]

I'm gonna give it a shot cause maybe it'll actually be pretty good but no way will this be better than the original Devil May Cry series.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Yeah trust me no one will ever match the fantastic Original Devil May Cry series but the fact that it matches their game is simply insane, and im telling ya' it really seems like Capcom did the gameplay themselves and are just trying to give the credit to Ninja.

[InTheLab]

NT has done an AMAZING job at dumbing down and uglying up everything in Devil May Cry. Nice work...

[Elda]

Can't wait to play this interesting reboot of DMC!! Let the haters HATE!!

[r21]

what the hell? thats a Succubus to Ninja Theory?! that is just plain ugly, hell the succubus in disgaea are more sexy looking than whatever the hell this 'succubus' in DMC is.

[spartan112g]

I think somebody at Ninja Theory should have wiki'd succubus before making such a bold statement.

[MysticStrummer]

I guess no one's ever seen a movie where a hot girl demon/vampire/other makes out with someone, then is later revealed to be hideous in their true form. I imagine that's the idea here but I could be wrong.

[wishingW3L]

it's funny because Kotaku made an article about this but they don't really explain anything. Just that the succubus is ugly and that's it. Useless article is useless!

[spartan112g]

Like Marceline from Adventure Time?

[ado908]

Well.... Didn't see that coming.

[chasegarcia]

I will also vote for a Kotaku.com ban!

[deletingthis34675334]

Who cares? Go look at porn. It has REAL people in it, oh and they are bare naked. There has to be something wrong with you if you can only get off to some non existent, pixellated computer-rendered polygon.

[XboxBoy]

Yep, played the demo version and its great. As good or better than DMC3.

[SavageFlamingo]

Everyone I have talked to that has played it said it was good. I played it and I loved it.

[Yokan]

some people just get too emotionally attached to these things and found themselves ignoring the facts and simply start (what some people call) 'hating' on it for being successful. But one must take note, I loved Devil May Cry and i am saying this game as far as gameplay goes, is by all means great. You cannot love or hate anything wihout experienced it first.

[Elda]

@Yokan..that was such a mature comment...well said! This game just looks like pure fun & people haven't even played it yet & they're giving people with positive comments about this game disagrees & negative comments,these people will be the first to buy this game because if they didn't have any interest they wouldn't come to this discussion about a game they didn't like or have any interest in.

[AtomicGerbil]

I'm all for giving something a chance, but you also have to remember that everything has only one chance to make a first impression, this is where Ninja Theory screwed up.

By all accounts it's turning out ok, which is fine, but from that first impression it's got a fight on it's hands to convince the most stubborn out there.

[Mocat]

Don't Mind Me I'm Just Hating On DMC 5

[spartan112g]

I think somebody just watched the Slurm episode of Futurama. -_-

[BelieveinGhosts]

I still follow Hip Hop Gamer on Youtube. As long as he has info about the game industry, i don't care how he acts to be honest.

[Emilio_Estevez]

I'm reserving my judgement of this game until I can play it.....unlike some people.

[Elda]

@E_E..AMEN to that!

[Emilio_Estevez]

It's just I don't give a #### about what he/it looks like as long as it plays well.

I love Minecraft, it looks like it's from the early 90's

[Christopher]

*takes Emilio's gamer card away*

I'm sorry, but we just can't have yer type around har no moar. *spits*

:D

[Elda]

@E_E..AMEN to that!!

[tehpees3]

Kotaku seem to have gotten very unprofessional lately. False rumours spewed, made up garbage. It seems more like a hit site now.

[JoeSchmoh]

I think DMC is the last nail in the coffin since Raccoon City, Bionic Commando 3D and 2D flopped, Strider got canceled, the new lost planet game isnt even being made by capcom. I think its because they're throwing all their marbles into one "western" basket and think its automatically gonna sell cause its made by western game companies. Look at RE6, they said it has the biggest number of producers from all the branches of Capcom all over the world. Look at what happend..they took out you upgrading weapons. When too many people with all these different ideas make one game that already has a following for the past 12 years. It's gonna come out suck.

[bigcupofSTFU]

kotaku is a blog guys calm down :D

[Baka-akaB]

HHG wasnt any different and banned for less and yet good reasons

[T3MPL3TON]

Clearly they are unaware that not all succubi are sexy women..
