Why so final-fantasy like?

I was almost expecting ultros to be in the opera house.

Nero? I thought the protagonist was called Dante?
Maybe I should shut my yap and actually played any of the DMC games?

I haven't played any DMC games either, but I think you are right that the older games were Dante. DMC4 switches main characters to Nero though.

You would think, if he was in a hurry and could jump 40 feet in the air like that, he'd just use rooftops and get there a whole lot quicker. Avoid the bad guys too.

I hate the internet sometimes!

What's the point in buying the game, when everything is going to be shown to you before the game is even released!

An I already know what people are going to say, "Then don't watch it" "Simple right" "You stupid idiot"

The element of surprise is gone in videogames.

I'm pretty sure this is a video that even Capcom could care less if you saw. They'd actually want you to see it because it gives absolutely nothing away and it looks pretty. Stop bitching, how often do you see a game video on the internet that spoils a game for you? It's just the intro...

Sounds like you need to learn some self control. When there is a game/movie/tv-series that I really want to enjoy, I do everything I can to make sure I don't read about it or watch trailers/preivews. The content is shown to help draw in new people, so if you already know you want to buy it, I'd stay clear of it.

The chick did kind of look like a dude. Strange, considering everyone usually looks like a chick. And why do Japanese developers use shitty music in all there games?

"Jaw-droppingly beautiful opening cinematic.."

The models look like they're in cinematic ps1 games, ff quality. I mean come on, the girl looked like a 7 foot man.

I was actually pretty surprised by this cinematic. In-game or not, the character models are pretty horrible when you consider the consoles that this game is being released on. And the hair just looks embarrassing. How can developers still not know how to render convincing hair in games? This just looks amateurish by today's standards.

And that woman singing looks kinda...mannish.

The opera was too uncanny-valley for me: it did not look like she was really singing that.

The fighting animation was gorgeous though, with the giant sword flinging and all. Heck, the whole intro concept is cliché nice. But the eyebrow/facial animation towards the end troubled me. =/


Am I the only one in this situation?

I felt the same way. As a singer myself, I felt a strange disconnect with the video. The audio is off ever so slightly and the 3d model is not moving at all for little things like breaths and articulations. It's like she (he?) is just mouthing the words out ala Ashlee Simpson. Yeah... I went there.

Getting kinda sick of fancy pre-rendered animation like this taking up 99% of the disk and the last 1% dedicated towards repetitive simple gameplay that is desperate to be hidden by the devs... Zzzz...

You're kind of... misinformed. That was in-engine, like all the DMC game cutscenes. Does no one here play the games? Plus, if you don't like this sort of game, don't play it. There are certainly enough fans of this series to render your opinion useless.

Is this series worthwhile? I've never played any of the others, but this has looked pretty cool thus far, and I notice it's coming out for PC...

Action/adventure?

No idea what you're getting yourself into. Also i can't help but scratch my head at the control scheme on the PC that doesn't result in broken fingers. I suggest a pad.

I've only played DMC3: SE and it's very much a button masher. There are combos both with and without gunplay and air juggles and various fighting "styles" to choose from. In the game, you basically walk around and kill all the baddies in a room to get to the next room. When you defeat enemies, they drop orbs that you can use to upgrade your weapons/fighting styles. There are very simple puzzles and pretty cool boss battles as well. Thinking about it, the DMC series to me continues the Final Fight/Streets of Rage style of gaming in a sense, just modernized a bit.

Nice to see you representing the Crysis peeps,
Phi ^_^

Pre-rendered cutscenes suck. Seriously. At this point, everything should be done in-engine. If you can't accomplish that, you should either:

(a) rethink your approach to cutscenes
(b) stop developing games altogether

Maybe it is just cultural difference, but 99% of all Japanese written songs have terrible lyrics. That song was among the worst.

Also, about halfway through the video, was that Altair from Assassin's Creed in the audience?

Dude, I think Kingdom Hearts' theme song beats this one out in terms of crappy lyrics (which is funny considering I actually like thats song's music.) Seriously, look it up if you want a good WTF look on your face. It makes me laugh every time I hear that part about "meet(ing) your father".

Are we sure that chick didn't used to be a guy? They did a good job on his voice though.

And this isn't Devil May Cry. Not until I hear some godawful actor spouting horribly cheesy action one-liners.

Does anyone else think he looks excessively stupid with those headphones around his neck? What does he have to listen to an iPood while killing monsters? Are we going to see some product placement just so the developer can afford to make the game?

Wow. Pre-rendered opening cinematics normally don't impress me, this is no exception.

I thought the music was cool, considering the rest of the soundtrack will probably be all, "FEEL FREE TO DIE IF YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!" hard rock stuff...which isn't a bad thing, unless it's as repetitive as it was in DMC3. :P
