LMAO that game LITERALLY using sound bytes from DMC.

That other character says "breakdown" with the same voice as Dante in DMC3. All those dislikes are well earned.


At least we got Ni-Oh and Nier.

Looks like DMC5 is easily going to be best selling stylish action game of the next generation... considering GoW isn't even in the same sub genre anymore.

From Geoff's interview with Cory Barlog, he said that it's same pick and play acessible system, with a new perspective (i.e not a fixed camera).

There might be potential after all.

I think GoW is going in the right direction by removing fixed camera angles while it may be a bit closer to the kratos. I reserve my judgement till I see a good boss fight but my concern are those scripted events which may seem a bit heavier than previous entries.

One interesting bit about RE7 is that they seem to have started development on it in 2014. The game is coming out in January, 2017 so that's under 3 years of development.

That goes hand in hand with Capcom's statement a while back about wanting to shorten production on major titles to about 2 years.

If the same is true for DMC5, a game that should be quicker and cheaper to make than a mainline RE, then we could see the game come out some time next year, or 2018 at the latest.

After Ascension it definitely felt like the series was being held back by that fixed camera angle.

Yeah I expect an announcement either at TGS or PSX or E3 2017 or on a random tuesday when my body isn't ready lol.

After watching it again, many people including myself think that combat resemble close to uncharted. May be good or bad...

Fixed camera angle can go, it's really whatever. But making the combat slow and more dark souls/las of us like is something I don't want to see...

DMC had such an influence on action games in PS3/X360 (PS2 too) gen that really is lost now... This gen is influenced by dark souls/demon souls...

it's a shame, really
at least metal nier rising is keeping the spirit of true stylish games alive instead of becoming yet another slowly paced and highly limited snoozefest

one can only hope dmc5 will be that shot in the arm the medium needs in speeding things back up

It's true that GoW4's combat seemed slower in the demo that they showed, but we still haven't seen much about that game so I'm hoping that it still has a few faster weapons/combos.

Didn't they say that they turned the Kitchen VR demo into RE7, when they announced it at Sony's show? I remember seeing something like that before the trailer started.

If that's true, then they most likely scraped what originally was going to be RE7 and worked on turning Kitchen into this new one. Honestly, I don't think they've worked on this as RE7 for more than a year since the Kitchen itself was showcased as last year's E3, if I'm not mistaken.

They did, but you can always interpret that as Kitchen being the codename for Resident Evil 7 all along, especially if they wanted to showcase it to the press without giving away the surprise. We've heard rumors that RE7 would be a reboot of sorts and a completely new direction.

Capcom is definitely trying to make a clean slate, but I think they realize Leon, Chris, Jill, Claire, and Ada are so iconic to the Resident Evil franchise and Capcom as a whole that they haven't fully rebooted the story yet. I think they'll wait and see how the game and new protagonists are received before fully breaking away from the old story/characters. Everything else is definitely a new direction, though.

That's certainly possible. Though, I still think it's the other way around. I just can't see them working on THIS RE7 for the last 3 years. I think the most likely scenario is that they saw P.T's popularity and then tried the same concept with Kitchen and were received with exceptional praises. At the same time, Panta Rhei was going nowhere and all its titles were in development hell and RE7 was most likely one of them.

So, one thing led to another and Capcom decided to just scrap the original RE7 which was going nowhere thanks to PR and turn the Kitchen into an RE game. Even that reboot rumor was fairly recent, right? So it's possible that the source became aware of it after Capcom scraped the originally game and went with Kitchen instead.

Of course, all of this is just a big speculation on my part and none of it might be true, but considering the bits and pieces of info that we have heard PR's failure and RE7's development I think this is how the current game came to be.

Iirc in the Capcom Unity stream they said that RE7 was already really far along in development when Kitchen was being created. They didn't turn Kitchen into RE7.

The reversal of fortune Capcom has had with their engine situation is something else. Capcom was one of the few companies who came swinging out of the gate with MT Frameworks which was subsequently used in 27 games across Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, 3DS, Vita, PC, PS4, and Xone. Now Capcom can't get a single game out on the successor after two and a half years.

It certainly does seem like a scatter house at Capcom. MT framework was boss, and quite shocked how they didnt just develop upon it for current gen consoles, much like Unreal Engine, how many devs tweak and modify the engine for their own needs. Now we got Capcom who is using UE4, Panta Rei (god knows if its still exists or reserved for Neo/Scorpio), and now this RE Engine. Panta Rei must have done a real number on them if they put all their prowess into that 1 engine.

Not to sound too much like a conspiracy theorist, but I don't think they would come out and admit that they only made Kitchen to RE7 after they couldn't get the original game running on PR. Even if it was true.

Fair enough but I don't think we would be getting the game in January of 2017 if they dumped an RE6-esque RE7 after seeing how well Kitchen was received in June, 2015 and then rebuilding RE7 from the ground up.

If anything, Kitchen was probably quickly put together to test how the new direction they were headed in with RE7 would resonate with the public. And from what I remember there was nothing but high praise for that demo (despite it scaring the shit out of most people).

I guess that depends on the scale of the game and how large it would be, especially in terms of environment. If it is supposed to take place just inside that one mansion then I don't think it would be that big of stretch if we say that they could do it in a year and half, especially when you consider the fact that they do have a nice amount of assets that they can reuse from the Kitchen demo. But if there are more, bigger environments that the mansion, then yeah you are probably right and it was the Kitchen that came out of RE7, not the other way around.

Either way, I'm not trying to say that the game won't be good or anything like that though. I'm actually kinda looking forward to it. I just think that this particular title shouldn't be used to judge Capcom's release schedule of its major titles since it seems to be a special case and not the norm.

It uses a couple of additional post-processing effects (DoF, motion blur, etc.) that can't be disabled without mods, but that shouldn't really negatively impact the performance unless you're trying to run it on something that could only barely handle the original PC port.

Good to know. PC could run it perfectly well, newer laptop should be able to handle it too. Plays newer stuff like Overwatch fine (mostly)

It depends on your specs. In my case I can run vanilla DMC4 perfectly, and can run most games that aren't on Doom and Rise of the Tomb Raider's level, but DMC4SE doesn't have a smooth frame rate, even with all but DoF turned off.

How's the port of DMC4:SE on PC? Buttery smooth like the original PC version? Looking to grab this maybe and relive it.

200-300 fps in dmc4, in SE I go below 60 fps just cause. For example last benchmark test = as low as 40 fps. Only supports 16:9, issues due to broken dx10 api and no dx9 version, 25 gb instead of 7, everything is buried under the thick layer of blur (looks horrible). That's what they call a shit port.
And not a single patch.

I just realized, with Nier delayed to 2017 there are no spectacle fighters at all this year, not counting indies like Furi. This is the worst year for the subgenre in terms of releases since 2011. FYI, I don't count TMNT because it's more of a typical brawler.

I just keep hoping that, eventually, something is going to break. A copyright trademark filed. A credible leak source. Capcpcom slipping up in a major way.

It's gonna be a long, hot summer~!
