I wouldn't mind playing them all for $30. $40 is a bit too much, considering how the second game is almost worthless.

I think they said somewhere that the first game has updated textures, which would be a good thing. I'll believe it when I see it, though.

Cover art is pretty hideous:

360 one fares better:

 

[GUNNM]

Good shit

 

[bigpimpin24]

Maybe the cover art for the US version will be different. The Prince of Persia HD Trilogy has different cover art in the UK than in the US.

 

[lolwut?]

I was psyched when I first heard about this. Now we don't have to feel so bad about DMC 5

 

[panzerfaust]

I'm not throwing money at Cacpom for anything DMC related with that abomination on the way.

I would hope that all 3 have updated textures. And are actually rendered in HD and not upscaled like RE4 and CV.

 

[iamsmart]

Is the cover art confirmed? It's not strange to see them change the main artwork (like Catherine for example), but it's kinda weird how they have different wording (Classics HD vs. HD Collection)

Yeah I know, the previous Dante was really awesome, in a "things I thought were cool in the fifth grade" kinda way. Surf that mannequin! Scarf that pizza! Giving a thumbs-ups is still cool! I'm being sarcastic of course. The new emo Dante is kinda douchey but I'll take that over the embarrassment we had in DMCs 1 and 3 (although he is alot better in DMC 2 and the anime)

Yeah I'm hoping they do more than just uprez the game.

Whow! What a wonderful news for me! I wouldn't mind how much this cost, can't wait to have this. I had a complete collection of this movie 'cause I'm really a big fan of this heck!

lololol you have no sense of humor, do you? DMC3 did not take itself seriously at all and it was the peak of the franchise. i killed a boss and then played her as a guitar for the remainder in the game, and you thought that was supposed to be serious? and you like the anime? for 's sake

the new Dante does take himself seriously, and he looks like a ing pussy. And ninja theory said they had a new image for the game -- they don't. we've seen the gameplay videos, it's the same shit we played on the PS2 and probably worse if you consider any other action game by ninja theory. they just took the formula capcom gave them and "westernized" it with their shitty character designs.

it also looks slower, and has the trademark trashy framerate of all ninja theory titles.

 

[GUNNM]

Not sure how smart liked Dante in two more than three he said one line.

And yes the new DmC sucks ass -- 30 fps, half human/half angel now, ugh. Hoping this sells well and Capcom announces 5.

Granted I don't start my sentences with a triple LOL, but I'd like to think I have a sense of humor. For example, even though you're cursing and raving at me right now I can't help but laugh because there's a final fantasy character with a shit-eating grin on his face staring back at me. I think that's kinda the point actually: the way people are stark-raving mad that it's not silly enough (for some perspective imagine someone yelling out loud "godammit this isn't goofy at all!") seems to clash with the whole point of humor in my opinion.

and you like the anime? for 's sake

No. It was generic, but I did like their Dante (the theme song wasn't bad either).

the new Dante does take himself seriously, and he looks like a ing pussy.

the old Dante didn't take himself seriously (your words), and he looked like a ing idiot. I've had idiot for about three games now (four if you include Bayonetta), I think I'm ready to try pussy, no pun intended.

 

[panzerfaust]

the avatar was meant to have that effect as i'm aware i rage in many of my posts, enjoy it. pointing out the humor in it is kind of lame though =[

i think Wakka would be even better, don't you agree?

--

you prefer generic badass instead of over-the-top hilarity, that's fine. and i say generic because dante is an ass character in the anime, whether you prefer the serious version or the "goofy" kind. Though based on your previous comments you clearly had a warped idea of what the creators behind a game like DMC3 were after. you concluded it was "cool" if you were equivalent to a 5th grader, but now you're quite sick of how dumb the old style was. Even though it's clear that the developers were aiming at making a ridiculous character that does stupid shit for a humorous effect -- not a "cool" effect -- not a "oh man our demographic that plays M rated hack-n-slash games are totally gonna dig this wicked new character." Get a touch on reality.

You see this over-the-top style as a device in much of japanese humor, and it's geared towards young adults. It's also captured a wide audience in the West, and now they are throwing it to the wayside.

And really, DMC needs a reboot or some sort of spark, that I agree with -- but the character and attitude are the last things you want to get rid of. Especially if your replacement is trying to be go for "cool" and fails miserably. If you want a definition for what a 5th grade kid thinks is cool, it's the new Dante. You can call the old one as dumb looking as you want but you've completely missed the point of his design.

 

[GuardianE]

Shaking my head at 1 star trolls.

This is huge, and I hope that more people get to try out what is the very definition of the Stylish Action genre before the entire genre dies.

DmC is going to be a run of the mill, crappy, Western action game.

iamsmart just takes himself way too seriously, and can't handle any sort of over the top campiness. His appreciation of the DMC Anime Dante only reinforces the fact that he only likes super serious, brooding protagonists with a dark past and a scowl on their face. To each their own, but if you think the new Dante is a badass with his faux tribal necklaces, wardrobe from the Salvation Army, and gaunt malnourished physique, then I feel bad for you. Get your "something different" from Dante's Inferno or God of War. Leave Devil May Cry to be what it is... because people actually like that, believe it or not.

Sassy! "Cool" is a loose term. Comedy can be cool, horror can be cool... being badass can be cool but it does not automatically equate to it as you seem to imply. I know that when he does something stupid people laugh, they don't say "oh man what a badass", my comment was meant to imply "the only way I could appreciate this is if I was in the fifth grade."

You only got it half right: I'm not serious, I'm pretty sure I'm the least serious person in this discussion right now because I'm not upset that someone changed the way a fictional character looks but yeah I don't find this to be "over-the-top hilarity." I like to think I'm quick to laugh, but I'm afraid I don't find Japanese humor to be as riotous as you guys do.

His appreciation of the DMC Anime Dante only reinforces the fact that he only likes super serious, brooding protagonists with a dark past and a scowl on their face.

If I'm guilty of wanting more pathos, then you guys are guilty of playing off his entire character as some sort of goofball. Yeah he does goofy things from time to time, mostly in DMC3 but there was also an element of drama to the games. Just read an interview with Hideki Kamiya on the conceptualization of Dante: he's supposed to be "stylish", a "joker" but also "carrying sadness" and "burning with anger", it's a mix of these elements. You can't have characters that lean too far on either of these sides: Kratos is too super-serious to be endearing but in my opinion Dante is too much of a clown to connect with, that's why I appreciate the opportunity to give him more identity while still being stylish and smartass.

if you think the new Dante is a badass with his faux tribal necklaces, wardrobe from the Salvation Army, and gaunt malnourished physique, then I feel bad for you.

Good news: you don't have to feel bad for me, because I never said I liked it.

Get your "something different" from Dante's Inferno or God of War.

That won't be necessary, luckily for me they're making a new DMC game that seems to suit just what I'm looking for!

Leave Devil May Cry to be what it is... because people actually like that, believe it or not.

Oh I believe it, I'm clearly the minority opinion here, that's why I get yelled at so much when I say that I appreciate a change of pace for the character. But it's what I like, what can you do?

 

[GUNNM]

Well enjoy your shit DmC game and off.

 

[anotherpoorgamer]

Oh cool, this is the only series I don't have the standard definition versions at all.
