Oh yeah its TGS!

WTF is going on with this? Dante looks like a total dickhead. Maybe it will include cut scenes with him driving around in a Volvo?

I wept.

Someone, somewhere is taking the piss. I'm still waiting for this to turn out to be a sick practical joke.

Heavenly Sword was the biggest load of plop. How can these muppets be trusted with Dante? - DANTE FFS!!!11!!1 T_T

DANTE!

This is an absolute travesty. It started off as a rumour, and that was bad enough, but the reality is just something else. Ninja Theory aren't much cop and they have been entrusted with the DMC franchise?! WTF?! Also, Dante is one of the coolest, most iconic heroes in video gaming history and Capcom allow Ninja Theory to turn him into some anorexic emo of a crackhead?!

And if Heavenly Sword is anything to go by, it'll have some wafer thin gameplay system slapped on top of this latest DMC game. It'll be even more of a travesty if this shit sells millions while genuine masterpieces like DMC3, Bayonetta and God Hand got overlooked by the masses.

Ryu ga Gotoku OF THE END

... Nagoshi is batshit insane!

WANT!

Oops - I just started a thread on that. I have no idea what to make of it!

I thought we could just use this thread to dump anything TGS related. So I've changed the title to make that more explicit, sorry I should have done that earlier.

Hello

Well it's a complete departure isn't it. Personally (unbiased of course ) I think it looks wicked . If they can find a clever way to weave this in to the earlier stories it could be proper good. I still have not played any of the Yakuza games

It is probably going to be a side story, like Kenzan was.

Gaiden-tastic

I think a visit to the Yakuza universe is long overdue. Time to hit-up ebay.

Young Dant0r looks proper HENCH!!1 No wait...

We've already had Young Dant0r - he was ghetto, it was perfect, there was guitar-pwnage and Royal-awsum-GUARD!

All the good staff have left the building. As soon as Joe left, Leon, Alastor, Davidson, Dante and all the rest of them followed suit. Dunno who this new DMC brer is, must be a temp.

Can't we just pretend DMC3 is brand new and blow up over it all over again?

Win.

I guess until I can actually get passed the first level of Godhand I can't comment!XD

Hideki Kamiya, the man who gave us the original Devil May Cry, is not happy about what they've done to Dante. And rightly so.

They wrecked Joe for him too -

The only hope for more awsumness now is if Kamiya and his crew give us another Bayonetta. If that game can come about without too much meddling from Sega there won't be anything else to touch it, not until Kamiya's bunch make another action game.

I've just seen this shit and I can't fucking believe it myself.

It is horrible. Fuck you Ninja Theory!

Everything will be grab related and area context QTEs. Then there also be some kind of rubbish section where you throw a sword and control it with the MOVE\Kinect\YOUR ASS.

I would laugh...if I wasn't crying.

Hurts!!!!

At least Dante is in some recognisable form in MvC3. But the only way they could make ammends for this attrocity is release DMC3 SE on XBLA\PSN...on the day this piece of shit...and it will be a piece of shit comes out in stores, and watch it bomb like Laurence Llywellen Bowen.

A review of Ninja Theory's new game. Ignore the review score, and skip to the description of the game. LOL

It's depressing.

But I bet you half a titty that shite will sell more copies than Bayonetta

Started playing DMC3 again. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, this game is too damn much!

Lost all my data on the PS3 for some bizarre reason, but that was a good enough excuse to start again with a fresh-off-the-boat Vanilla Dante. Managed to blast through Normal, Hard, Very Hard and through to around Mission 16 on Dante Must Die so far. Proper need to camp out on the bosses and get the parrying down again.

Agni & Rudra, Nevan and Beowulf are still getting bitch slapped in ways though, I love catching the whole of Nevan's spinning attack with parries, parrying all 8 hits when she goes critical makes you feel like Neo in Reloaded. It's Vergil and Geryon I still struggle with. That stupid horse especially needs to get a good healthy beating, I remember seeing a strategy ages ago using Beowulf/Cerberus in Swordmaster but can't remember what it was. Love how the game has a tempo to it, which once you get locked into - you're zoning in so deep that you have a complete awareness of everything that's going on around Dantles. You're pushing for more attacks, trying to rinse out every last frame you can before you have to hit the parry. Royal Guard is so much fun it should be illegal, it's the way everything in the game fits into what Dante can do, and as every attack is clearly cued up it never feels unfair when they really start piling it on.

It's pure magic. I'm going to finally learn how to use Gunslinger soon, I never touched it before but after seeing what the Youtube sickheads are coming out with using Artemis, I want in on the action.

After I've rinsed this I'm going back to Bayonetta. I never got to play the "real thing". I played the game via a debug menu, and have never got the chance to play through the actual finished retail copy with proper structure. They can keep their new Emo May Cry, I've got enough awsume to keep me going until Kamiya and his selected man-dem give us another treat.

Devil Does Cry?

That's about as constructive as I can be in this thread... sorry.

>:D

Justice.

He he,

I still need to get stuck into DMC. After popping my cherry with Bayo I feel I'm ready to get to grips with it. I really need to stop playing Just Cause 2. It's paint-by-numbers gaming that means I can switch off the ol' brain and relax, which has suited me fine over the last couple of months. Time to move on...

I was bored so I got that new Castlevania game. Like every game these days, it looks absolutely amazing, the sound is also incredible - but it plays like absolute shit. It sort of pretends to be Castlevania, it's got platform sections, but you don't die or get any sort of meaningful penalty for falling down. It's got huge areas, but the camera is automatic and the game blatantly tells you where to go next, and if you try to go somewhere else it won't let you.

The fighting (could) have been OK. Belmont's weapon has a good weight and feel to it, he can even parry, air combo and interrupt/mix the (simplistic) combo sequences - but you can't read what the fuck the enemies are doing! You can't control the camera, the enemies attack all around you, yet nothing is effectively signposted. So even though you can parry, you never get a proper feel for it because you don't know when an attack is coming. Also it runs at less than half the framerate of DMC3 or Bayonetta, so even though the parry window is massive (about 40 fucking frames!), it's still a gamble/guess rather than an absolute timing you zone in to.

Also the game CONSTANTLY tells you what to do. All the way through you've got instructions at the top of the screen telling you what to do next. Every time you get to a puzzle, it pretty much tells you how to do it, then offers the solution when you pause the game. It's like people now are so fucking thick that they have to be spoon-fed this garbage because they are too dumb or their egos to fragile to use their brains.

This is what I can't stand. The game holds your hand constantly in the fear that you might have to actually *gasp* think, yet something as fundamental as the combat is complete and utter shit because you can't get a handle on what the enemies around you are doing - because they are NOT clearly communicating.

I got to the 2nd or 3rd of the huge "Titan" battles before I couldn't take any more.

This looks interesting,

Coming out on the PSN quite soon. Maybe this is where the Stylish Action genre is headed? You can't sell clever shit to the brain-dead mass-market, but smaller downloadable games may have more freedom.

Dont want to get flimflam, but I was always hoping DLC was gonna get to this level, above the old Solitaires and Texas Hold'em.... still being a bit more conservative than I would like. And I never understand "publisher involvement" with download only games... you'd think the Grasshoppers and Platinums would go crazy for that route instead of dicking about with perfectly reasonable puzzle games.

I guess filling the shelves with cases makes more money.

The biggest problem Download Games have is coverage... how do you know what is what when there is so much!

Btw Other M suffered a bit from the Castlevania problem... sign posted, too easy, almost good.

The Cloak of Ash looks like it has potential for some awesome combat and being free to select which fight/level to take on next sounds like an interesting way of introducing a puzzle element to the genre without stopping the combat flow (like in VJ2).

Is that what they're calling the above game "Malicious" in English? Didn't even know it was getting an English release, hope it delivers some of the goodness I'm hoping it will. I'm completely sick of Castlevania now, it's Fisher Price My 1st Videogame Vol. 1.

I hear that's what the black thing is called that he uses as a weapon - no idea if its getting a UK release sadly. I would get this in a heart beat.

Why are they being so cruel? T_T

This Dante, this theme - do want. Why I no can has? Just give me DMC3's system with new weapons, enemies and bosses, that's all they need to do! Dante + DMC3 system + THIS TRACK + new enemies = EPICNESS.

no..... no......no......

What is going on? "Reboot"?
