Well, the new Devil May Cry looks like a massive disappointment.
>>93686I'm not trying to do anything, I'm just letting you all know that you're fucking retarded for throwing out words like hipster, clearly without any idea what you're saying. You can love him all you want, I'm just saying >>93663 >>93665 made a completely valid point, and you're all pretty much hypocrites. But this is /cog/ who am I to assume people will actually know what their talking about instead of just engaging in constant flamboyant fanboyism?>>93688Yes, because nobody in this thread previous to me was calling shit hipster and comparing the fashion of two characters. And because you realise I am right, I'm trolling, well fucking played, kid, sit down.
>>93686PS, weren't most of you fucking like 13-14 when that game came out? Yeah, I know you have your goggles on, smart-guy.
>>93675you don't know a hipster when you see one at all. There is nothing even vaguely hipster about bomber jackets and bowl cuts. I bet you're one of those neckbeards in a metallica tee and surf shorts who goes around calling everyone hipster faggot and then wonders why you have no friends.
>>93688this failtroll butt isnt /fa/ at all>>93691>>93692>>93665>>93663>my face when samefags quote themselves>my face when you dont know how to noko

You're wrong about more or less everything. Take your fanboy pants off and calm the fuck down, buddy-boy.
>>93695PS, no. No samefag. You should really get better at reading. I don't know who that Anonymous is, but I can see you're butthurt, if it makes you feel better, I don't have any investment in this, but if objectivity offends you, you could always just cry.Just too lazy to type my name.
>>93696a bunch of pics that have no bomber jackets, and no leon haircuts.good goingand yes, i am correct. i am also better than you in every conceivable way.
>>93691>theirHahahahahahaha>>93696Leon wasn't dressed like any of these guys. The fur coat maybe comes a little bit close maybe if you're willing to stretch the lines, but I don't remember him wearing gaudy sunglasses or a graphic tee at any point during that game.
>>93697toxie everyone
>>93699Haha, so funny how I mistyped they're. Boy, was that silly of me.>>93698Mascara. And Leon pretty much looks identical to Pete Wentz. Would you like me to photoshop his hair to make it blond so that it's easier on your eyes? Because his hair in 2 is a bowl cut, but it's a farrrrr cry from a bowl cut in 4. As if that crazy emo swoop wasn't enough, it's also cut higher in the back.Come on now, I know you people are fans, and I'm not trying to take that away from you, but you're blind if you don't see it, and you apparently think this goofball British version of Dante somehow is a hipster. If you don't think this Dante is, fine, I don't care, that means I'm not talking to you, smarty-pants.
ive never played much dmc, but the dante character has always seemed kind of funloving and easygoing, even in bad situations, so seeing him all srs bsns, even in a mugshot, is probably the biggest departure than the outward appearance differences
Oh my god, I'm getting so fucking tired of seeing the word "hipster".I don't even give a shit about Dante's design anymore. He's always looked pretty ridiculous anyway.
>>93701He doesn't look like Pete Wentz, though.
>>93653I am very sorry about your lack of taste, life must be very difficult for you.
\o/
>>93703Did you watch the trailer? I don't think anything has changed except that he is no longer wearing assless chaps.>>93704Totally agreed.
>>93708 So what are you saying, that you're blind?
>>93709Aside from his clothes, wtf has really changed? The animation looks the same, the gameplay looks the same, it's literally his clothes and that's it.
We all made bad choices as teenagers.
>>93704THANK. YOU.
Somewhat amusingly, I was discussing the spectacle shooter genre (we're calling them that now, right?) with my brother and brought up Dante as being a sort of counterpoint to Kratos; the goofy wiseass to the bitter asshole.Having never played any of the DMC games, he was surprised that Dante was anything but a brooding, tortured, GRIMDARK antihero based on the series' title and premise, leading to me bringing up the intro to DMC3 on Youtube to riotous laughter.Long story short, his perceived image of the franchise was the same thing you guys are bitching about here.
I still don't see the "hipster" thing. "British asshole teenage punk" is different enough from "hipster douchebag" I thought.
Maybe this is DMC X like MegaMan XAs for DMC1 the game is still good and the granddaddy of the super character action adventure games. Give credit where credit is due ya bloody kids!Leon does kinda have a emo styled haircut but it looks like a modernization of his RE2 hair, which was a popular look in the 90s. IIRC kids on shows like Home Improvment and Roseanne and Step by Step used to rock them. alot of kids back in my school days did as well. His bomber jacket was pimpin though. But yeah he was super pale and fairly grim so I could see why people call him emo
>>93755>As for DMC1 the game is still good and the granddaddy of the super character action adventure games. No it isn't.
>>93779Yes, that title clearly belongs to Godhand.
>>93780My name is Sneaky Tiki and I don't understand numbers.
>>93780Or the numerous titles that came out BEFORE DMC that are in the same vein. Dynasty Warriors 2, for example. Or pretty much any third-person 3D beat 'em up that came out before 2001.
>>93783>>93785I AM A BIG DUMB I APOLOGIZEI CONTEXT AND SEQUENCE GOOD
>>93785The first good one then. You can say "blah blah Dynasty Warriors Blah Blah Oni" or whatever the fuck point you're trying to make all you want but DMC was a game changer for better or worse. Whatever you think of God of War-esque games, they are the way they are now because of Devil May Cry.
>>93803Enh... There were anime games all over the Dreamcast who laid the foundation for games like Devil May Cry. Giving it all the credit is giving it too much credit, but dismissing it wholly isn't giving it enough credit.I prefer a 3D action-adventure-beatemup to be more like Dynasty Warriors 2-5 than God of War or Devil May Cry, but we'll see in the long run how this all turns out.I really dig the art direction in the trailer though, and I think, aside from the Mugshot, most of Dante's personality has remained intact, but maybe I'm being optimistic.
>>93807You're right actually, I forgot about the Berserk games (I own the Dreamcast one too, dammit). Looking at gameplay of the PS2 game, it almost feels like some sort of strange and influential sideways timeline of where character action could've gone.
there was nothing like devil may cry before devil may cry>There were anime games all over the Dreamcast who laid the foundation for games like Devil May Crynot really, no.
>>93844foundation sir, foundation. Not full-blown...whatever. Berserk is about it though. I can't think of anything else even close to what Toxie is talking about that was on Dreamcast.
>>93850There was Zombie Revenge. The gameplay was similar, not so much the over-the-top-anime-gun-nonsense, but the rest of the over-the-top-anime-nonsense. But yeah, mostly Berserk.But both Dynamite Cop and Zombie Revenge had guns in beatemups which was uncommon, etc. I'm not saying it's the same game, I'm just saying... it can't be a grandfather of a genre that's almost as old as videogames. Because it essentially boils down to being a beatemup.
>>93844>there was nothing like devil may cry before devil may cry Before DMC there was Vampire Hunter D (PSX) and Sword Of Berserk (Dreamcast). If you mix the two, you get DMC.
>>93862Oh god. Vampire Hunter D.The first game I ever just flat out hated.It was Resident Evil with swords and that's just as clunky as it sounds like. I can sort of see where you're coming from but uuuugh. >>93861All these games come from the same heritage but this is like comparing, I dunno, Half-Life to Quake.Let's talk about Sword of the Berserk and how fucking crazy it was that Eidos published AND dubbed it.
>>93862I totally forgot about Vampire Hunter D.
>>93879we should also talk about how Sony blocked the PS2 Berserk game in Western territories because they didnt want it to clash with their own titles like Genji.
>>93879 As funny as it was to hear Raziel for Guts the guy playing this level is absolutely terrible.
>>93785People compare Dynasty Warriors and Sengoku Basara to DMC and the others but the only thing they have in common is over the top action and what not. DMC and GOW are action adventure hybrid games. There's exploration, platforming, even little puzzles here and there. The vertical game is 10X stronger than any hack and slash game and this can be seen by watching plenty of combo videos if you're not into the games themselves. The regular enemies are also alot smarter and aggressive then Dynasty Warrior cannon fodder. And the weapon systems are deeper in DMC and its cohortsAnd Godhand is a traditional beat em up in 3d. There's barely any vertical game to speak of. There's no real emphasis on weapons. And Gene isn't as agile as Dante, Kratos,etcZombie Revenge looks like a fun game but still schewing more on the side of a beat em up.The Berserk Game is the closest I've seen to looking like DMC with the whole real time integration of bare hand combat, melee, and gun combat.
>>93879>It was Resident Evil with swords and that's just as clunky as it sounds like. Onimusha was this and was pretty solid. Actually IIRC DMC started out as RE and changed into something else since the protag was a guy who was infected like Wesker with a super virus. Some of the guys who worked on Onimusha also worked on it and talked about how there was a glitch in Onimusha where you could launch an enemy in the air and keep him there.>>93811The PS2 Berserk game looks like a deeper version of Dynasty Warriors>>93861Obviously there are elements and pieces of it in other games. But it put things together in a way that outclasses all the previous examples stated (a big part of it being technology available and the other part of course being the devs). Looking at the mechanics from an objective perspective one can see that the game is indeed fluid and plays very differently from say Final Fight or Zombie Revenge. I mean look at Michael Jordan, people constantly cite him as the best to ever play the game. But it's not like there weren't other players before him who didn't have beautiful jump shots, like Bird or crazy ass dunks like Wilkins. But Jordan packaged those elements all in one and puts his own spin on it.That's what I mean by DMC being the "Grand dad" of these character action games. It took past elements, refined them all together and gave it to us in a way where we can see the whole picture and not just glimpses of it.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-10-devil-may/704980Interview about the inspiration. Watching it kind of made me not hate the look anymore and I'm more accepting of it. I'm still waiting for them to show the gameplay off though before making judgement on it.
To be honest, I'd say he'd look a lot better if his hair were a tad shaggier, and he had a slightly stronger jawline.Who's got photoshop on hand?
Some of the stuff being posted on Pixiv is hilarious
