So after years of waiting, letdowns and er... a reboot, it was finally announced at E3, and the world rejoiced. I know there's only like 3 DMC fans here, but I wanted to make a thread anyway because I'm pretty damn excited.

So anyone else hyped as hell? I've been replaying 4 recently and I fucking suck at it. It's weird because I got pretty good at 3, but Nero just feels so weird to play.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it. Glad Nero's still around after the lukewarm reception he got in 4.

How do you feel about the music direction?

I really like Devil Trigger, it feels upbeat and modern, fitting for Nero's theme. I imagine Dante's music will be heavier, I hope for  a new rendition of Devils Never Cry.

I recently snagged the DMC HD Collection + 4SE on PS4. I forgot how much I hated Nightmare.

Tbh the only DMC1 boss I really like is Nero Angelo.

Nelo Angelo 3 is the peak of the game tbh. Every other boss/miniboss is just annoying and spammy/protected from melee attacks.

Yup. Griffin has that annoying electric bird thing and a cluttered arena, Phantom is alright, Mundus had some interested mechanics and Nightmare was just... ugh

I actually didn't mind Griffin 1 or 3 (despite it being annoyingly spammy). Hated the pirate ship fight because, despite being in DT, Dante wanted to throw Magma Drives instead of Meteors. Also that one move that attaches the shadow bird to you and changes the lock on away from Griffin. Made the fight really frustrating.

The pirate ship fight is the worst. I just cheese it with DT'd Ebony and Ivory, works a charm

Devil Trigger is hype af. And if there's anything to go on, the rock music that plays during Dante's bike scene at the end of the trailer is probably a snippet of his theme. It's all good.

I know id like them except maybe 2? Whatever the deal with that is.

DMC was so successful that Capcom turned an unrelated game into DMC2. Itsuno (mastermind behind DMC3) was brought in 6 months before release to salvage it, but most of the damage had already been done. Dante's emotionless, the levels are too big, melee attacks have too much knockback (making it hard to combo), guns are OP (turning boss fights into 20 minute long "hold square" challenges), and the story is pointless. The game sucked enough that Capcom put it at the very end of the DMC continuity so that they wouldn't have to reference it ever again.

There's a bit of speculation that DMC5 might take place after it, though. Mostly based on Dante getting out of Hell and how rough and dirty he looked in the trailer.

i don't really care but old dante looks goofy as fuck

Can safely avoid it then. How rough is the first one? Ive heard its quite difficult.

If you're playing the HD Collection, then it isn't. Just keep in mind that its life started as Resident Evil 4 (3.5 beta style), so it has fixed camera angles and a sp00py mansion. As long as you don't play it like a musou game and learn the movesets then you should be fine.

Are we hoping Vergil is gonna be the villain or a good guy? I'd love to fight him again, but the thought of him teaming up with his brother and son is too enticing.

I think the prevailing theory is that he's the one who took Nero's arm.

Speaking of Nero, here's some gameplay.

YouTube

That's a given at this point but if you look closely, he looks like his corrupted form so he's either:

A) Still under some sort of remaining Mundus-ish influence

B) The big bad

I hope he gets restored though
