Devil May Cry series discussion/DmC anticipation (your mileage may vary)

[Vito]

As I've never played a Devil May Cry game, this sounds pretty interesting AS LONG AS IT'S RELEASED ON DISC. No DLC bullshit.

I was just gonna post this.

Not excited in the slightest for the HD ports of the first 3 games, I've seriously lost any interest in this series

Sooo.. First of all we get told it's the same Dante:

Eurogamer: Let's be absolutely clear – is this a different Dante, or the same one we know and love?

Alex Jones: We're not going to be definitive about a lot tonight, but one thing that we can be definitive about is that this is the same Dante - just younger. We're looking at a retelling of his origin story.

And now, we're being told - http://www.siliconera.com/2011/10/31...fferent-dante/

Parallel world! What a load of horse shit.

They might have reworked the story. His little sign does say 'Limbo City' maybe there is a connection to a parallel world there.

So let me get this right - from this gameplay video you can tell with the grim grip and such it's nigh on the same as Devil May Cry 4 when you play as Nero, except the style is no way near as good, and the framerate is only 30fps.

So Ninja Theory bring to the table, a less interesting visual style, and the same gameplay but without the 60fps that DMC4 had....

And that is why I will not be buying this game.

Except the platforming in DMC4 (and the entire series, for that matter) was garbage.

This looks much, much improved. It's a lot more fluid than using Nero's Devil Bringer, too.

A NeoGAF user who got the collection early reports that the gallery section contains an artwork that depicts Dante and Vergil as infants laying in a fetal position on top of the Umbrella symbol.

That artwork is an old one, You can see a scan of it here.

Tony and "Paul" (Dante and Vergil respectively) were Oswell E. Spencer's bio-engineered sons, in Hideki Kamiya's version of BH4. There's quite a lot of artwork of Spencer too.

Grabbed the HD Collection today.

Looks great and it's positively staggering how good Devil May Cry still is, still not quite the lightning bolt of pure gameplay excellence that is DMC3, but christ is it good.

[Blacktail]

I bought the HD collection today as well. Unfortunately the cutscenes are not in sync with the audio. Any suggestions?

[[STARS]TyranT]

Don't recall any issues on the PS3 version, but then again only played it once so far but it looked okay. Will confirm more when I get home.

[[STARS]TyranT]

Bumping this thread just so Blacktail sees....

No syncing issues on the PS3 version thus far.
