Re: DMC (2012): Devil May Cry discussion
Hmm....Nice, how does it compare with DMC 4 ??
I'd prefer not to compare, both of them are kickass in their own way. DMC 4 just like its predecessor had really deep gameplay, a devil may cry purist would explain this better.
On the other side, NT's DMC is good in its own way, everything in the art from Animation to the vfx are done extremely well, the narrative, acting - both MoCap and voice- are brilliant, top notch production values, and the platforming is a huge improvement which was kinda broken in the previous games. This is my first Ninja Theory title, I'd always heard that they're really good at creating compelling characters and worlds(10/10), and this game is a brilliant example of that. Don't give a crap about the hardcore fans and their rant about the change in style, Dante might seem like an a$$hole in the beginning, but he's a pretty likable character.
The possible downside, could be the gameplay, its amazing and very very accessible(extremely easy yet rewarding and satisfying), but compared to the previous titles, its not deep enough for a DMC game. The gameplay depth could be an issue to the hardcore DMC purists but for normal gamers, its a delight!
Though I'm kinda disappointed with NT and their insult at the original Dante, they clearly shouldn't have done that.
