So about that DmC Definitive Edition trailer...

Funny how much they show the white-haired model, eh?

Funny how little they show the new version with black hair, eh?

Funny how that joke in the original version now is hella awkward, eh?

(Full disclosure, I'll play DmC Definitive Edition; just pointing this out.)

 

i'll play DMC4 but not DmC. once was enough for that game.

 

I mean, I'm gonna play it on the PS3 since it was free.

And hey, it'll be better than DMC2.

 

white hair looks dumb

 

herd u was talkin shiet

 

objectively wrong opinion

 

fighting games suck

 

Don't mock the white hair

 

Okay, real talk... Does anyone else feel like Capcom is trying to call people's bluff?

 

This scrub right here has never played Def Jam: Fight for NY.

 

About wanting old DMC over new DmC? Kind of.

Way I see it, it also goes in Capcom's direction: they're clearly seeing and paying attention to the (valid) backlash that came with DmC's release, so this will be literally the old VS. the new, but at the same time, the fact that so many of those features weren't in the original and the fact that they're pushing the old school look, at least in this trailer, says that Capcom/Ninja Theory really don't have as much backbone as they tried to make it appear when they made their jabs at the original series.

But whatever, they'll have a better game this time at the very least.

OH MY GOD THAT GAME IS SUPER GOOD (even if the girlfriend stuff is super duper sexist but well that's lots of hip-hop culture) DAT AKI ENGINE

 

YO, YO. I KNOW, RIGHT? YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE A FAN OF HIP-HOP TO ENJOY THAT GAME!

I really should download that game at some point cause it was so good. But until then, I'll just have to be satisfied with the Super Best Friends Cryme Time LP of it.

 

Download? Was it ever made available for the PS3 or 360?

 

No idea! But I'll have to check. It would be a damn shame if it wasn't though. :C

Otherwise I'll just have to purchase it for the PS2 online.

 

but was it actually jabs or was it just making a joke? Preeeeeeeeeeeeeety sure it was a joke.

 

The director was clear in interviews that he doesn't think original series Dante is cool.

 

well I'll be honest, I kinda agree. At least new Dante is kind of dressed for a more modern, less gothic look?

 

Is Dante's character very different between past games and the reboot? I've not played any of them.

 

I don't find it easy to agree with this because:



Maybe the white hair would be unrealistic, but the dude is not just skin and bones. And I easily find this guy to look more intimidating than DmC Dante, but whatevs.

(there's also more to intimidation than appearance)

Original series Dante, at least in 3 and 4 (since the series took a while to find consistency,) barely swears, doesn't flip people off, and references lots of different things, from J-rock bands to Shakespeare to Looney Tunes. He's got a wide range of quirks, from cheesy to tragic to badass. This is one of my favorite scenes with Dante.

In contrast, there's this scene in the reboot. Some people find it funny but...not me.

But hey, personal taste I guess. Some people like the more punk-ish, style with the electronic screamo music accompanying it. I prefer the mix of gothic and hard rock.

DMC2 Dante is boring and less interesting than DmC Dante, I'll give him that.
