It’s official. Despite the strong performance of 2008’s Devil May Cry 4, the button mashing, combo building, often pizza endorsing series is getting a fresh start from Capcom and Ninja Theory (the company probably best known for Heavenly Sword) under the title “DmC”. The game was first revealed at the Tokyo Game Show 2010 which confirmed the rumor of the reboot that had been floating about since May.
We were graced with a trailer and although they’ve seemed to have kept Dante’s fighting style, our hero is sporting a different look and (dare I say?) a darker feel to his character. Dante is now a young offender under psycho evaluation, and we’re left to wonder exactly what direction Capcom/Ninja Theory are taking the series. Is Dante the same Demon spawn the previous games created or will he wind up just a misguided nut-job in a crazy twist of the storyline? I hope M. Night Shyamalan had no dabbling in the writing.. I guess we’ll have to see.
I, myself, am not a fan of Dante’s makeover but I do have some faith that Ninja Theory won’t botch this. I was never much of a fan of button masher games, but DMC will always hold a special little place in my heart ( possibly due to the fact that it has a very thin relation to my all-time favorite series, Resident Evil/Biohazard ). There’s no tentative release date, yet, but I do know it’ll be available on both the PlayStation 3 and the XBOX 360. I’ll keep you posted.
Check out the trailer and decide what you think!
