Capcom has just made a whole lot of Devil May Cry fans very happy be announcing an official, worldwide launch date for the publisher’s franchise reboot, DmC, with confirmation of a PC version of the game alongside the release of new character information.
Dante may have a different hair colour, he may be slightly younger, but rest assured the cocky attitude and insane fighting style of the Devil May Cry franchise that we’ve grown accustomed to are still the same. We got the chance to learn a bit more about the new DmC game, and a few of Dante’s secrets, at the recent Captivate event during a presentation given by Capcom’s Alex Jones and Hideaki Itsuno as well as Ninja Theory’s Tameem Antoniades.
The latest edition of Capcom’s annual Captivate showcase event took place in Rome recently, and El33tonline’s Lisa was there to discover Lost Planet 3 secrets and learn more Resident Evil 6 details.
One game present at Captivate 2012, however, was arguably Lisa’s pick of the bunch going into the event and she was armed with Devil May Cry knowledge and excitement to spare in preparation for DmC from Capcom and Ninja Theory.
What’s so great about DmC? Why is it the first game to successfully slot into the ‘Stylish Action’ genre? You need only watch the latest action-packed trailer for the game, fresh from Captivate 2012, to find the answers you seek:
Capcom has released a batch of new information for the upcoming Devil May Cry. Not only can you enjoy five new blood-soaked screenshots from the game, but you can also take a gander at some concept artwork of Dante and his weapons, guns Ebony and Ivory as well as his sword Rebellion.
By the publisher’s own admission the DmC project is “still shrouded in mystery,” so sit back, relax and soak the new details in.
Capcom has released a new gameplay video for Devil May Cry, the upcoming reboot to the intense action series.
This video shows us a glimpse of a secret area that is only playable when Dante discovers the secret portals which are hidden throughout the game.
The next Devil May Cry title is shaping up nicely, as you’ll see in these two new trailers which publisher Capcom just released.
Capcom and Ninja Theory’s Devil May Cry reboot is shaping up to be absolutely incredible, and in this latest trailer and screenshot one-two combination, the colourful, detailed world of DmC is showcased to give us extended looks at new ways to shoot, juggle, slash and destroy gnarly demons.
The extended Tokyo Game Show trailer will be of particular interest to long-time Devil May Cry fans to assuage any concerns over ‘that’ hair, and also provides glimpses at the crazy alternate world of the demons
Fantastic stuff, all below:
If you’re one of ‘those’ people that was reviled by the idea of Devil May Cry’s Dante sporting an all-black hairdo (as opposed to his iconic shock of white), then you may want to watch all the way to the end of the latest trailer for Ninja Theory’s DmC (also known as ‘the Devil May Cry reboot’) for a wink and a nod towards the developer’s future plans for the ‘do.
But seriously though. Does the hair colour of the storied protagonist really matter when the action looks so insanely cool?
[Update] Added the latest screenshots for DmC below. [End of Update]
The next Devil May Cry title was announced last year at Tokyo Game Show 2010, revealed to be a reboot, or re-imagining, of Capcom’s intense action series.
Currently in the works at Ninja Theory (Enslaved, Heavenly Sword), the new Devil May Cry game (known as DmC) will feature the action-packed antics of a re-imagined, younger, more rebellions Dante – the franchise-long star of Capcom’s Devil May Cry games.
Don’t miss the first ever in-game footage from DmC below - it’s time to get excited:
Namco Bandai and Ninja Theory’s epic action adventure game, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, will soon get a set of playable downloadable content (DLC) to extend the adventures and fiction of the excellent game… but you won’t be playing as central protagonists Monkey or Trip this time around.
Instead, you’ll take control of Pigsy, the “comical porcine character known for his one-line zingers and questionable hygiene,” in a DLC episode called “Pigsy’s Perfect 10.”
?
An official description fills us in on the setup for this oddly named DLC:
Today is finally the day that we see the release of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, a brand new and stunning-looking action adventure game from Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword) and Namco Bandai.
Now available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the UK, Europe and South Africa, Enslaved tells the epic saga of protagonists Monkey and Trip as they journey across a futuristic wasteland while being hunted down by merciless drones and colossal robotic creatures.
Love it or hate it, a new Devil May Cry action title is in development at Heavenly Sword/Enslaved developer Ninja Theory. Currently known as DmC, the new title will feature the action-packed antics of a re-imagined younger and more rebellious Dante, the franchise-long star of Capcom’s Devil May Cry games.
According to the publisher, DmC will “redefine the franchise” but “retain the series’ signature mix of sword and gunplay” adding “additional weapons, all new powers and a revitalized gameplay system.”
Confirming wild rumours at the ongoing Tokyo Game Show, Capcom has announced that a new Devil May Cry action title is in development at Heavenly Sword/Enslaved developer, Ninja Theory.
Currently, the game is known only as ‘DmC,’ and will seemingly feature the action-packed antics of a re-imagined, younger, more rebellions Dante – the franchise-long star of Capcom’s Devil May Cry games.
In the past, we’ve seen game companies try and shovel off their games by releasing trailers that they think are beautiful cinematic masterpieces… only they’re filled with robotic animations, bad lip-syncing and dreadful effects.
As game technology gets better (with games like Uncharted, Killzone 2 and Halo: Reach), these cinematic trailers are more true to their namesake, and when the deep, gravely voice starts talking about ‘an adventure you’ll never forget,’ you actually start to believe that what you’re watching wouldn’t be out of place on a movie screen ahead of the latest film.
This gamescom trailer for Enslaved is such as video, complete with pieces of exposition, ‘explodey’ action bits, and the obligatory slow motion parts.
All great stuff, and begging to be watched below:
Dang! Enslaved is looking mighty!
While looking over the latest screenshots for Ninja Theory’s action adventure game, and during your own personal screening of a brand new gameplay trailer, there’s a strong chance that you may just exclaim, out loud, an expletive of your choosing.
That exclamation may not be as rude as ‘Dang’ (what is?), but you’ll be impressed, nonetheless:
