DmC |OT| No, F*ck You!

Yeah, that's true, but several of the mechanics changed from the demo, too. The combat system was more robust in DMC3 in general and people were acclimating themselves to it. I think that DMC4 in a similar timeframe is a more accurate comparison because a wider community had been established by then.
To be fair, it took a while for Dante's potential to start to come out... and for good reason. The Nero combos are more of a exhibition of what can be done with Snatch+MaxAct. But regardless, it's the earliest video I could find.
since the dmc hd collection thread is locked:
It's not locked: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=468239&highlight=dmc+hd
But those are awesome, and should be posted here anyways.
It's certainly the most I've used Ebony and Ivory.
Where's Donte?since the dmc hd collection thread is locked:
edit: whoops, sorry about taht, saw the wrong thread. man sometimes i hate using search in forums...
It's absolutely stupid. I've had my PC copy since Wednesday thanks to shopto. However, it doesn't unlock til 6pm Friday for the UK. What gives? :/ At least make it midnight everywhere...

But...making it midnight everywhere would require an extra 2-3 lines of code in steam.. and you know what...
That was my plan for it. :lol
Aww man, now I've got that song in my head.
The feeling of 120fps. I think I saw some added lighting and particle effects in the gamespot comparison video.

Will it be possible to mod the PC version? I'm wondering if that's a road some could take if they feel the enemies are too easy.
I'm pretty sure it's tied to the 'clock'.
Yeah, the pics on steam look miles better than the console games. I can't wait to see some more videos of it.
It's running on UE3, which is highly modable. So you can bet on some mods coming out for the game.
Seems likely, Unreal Engine is pretty easy to mod.
Will try. Friday I have work and over the weekend I am also a bit busy. But on Monday I will have something worthwhile to report with.
Just know that I am not a graphics whore so I am not going to appreciate minor differences in visuals.

dat bitrate (lol)
Graphics are mostly the same. Framerate obviously makes a difference. Excited to play this tomorrow, with hopefully the feel of 120fps on my aging PC.
I find it strange that the facial animation in cut-scenes barely looks any smoother at twice the framerate, oh well.

Man, I should pay attention to that loading screen more. Did not know Trillion Stab could cancel into Prop. I wonder what else. Man, Bloody Palace needs to come out already so I really mess with the combat system.
Lol there are so many of these types of cancels in the game. It's a DMC game after all.
You can cancel Pop into a gun shot. You can also cancel Trillion Stab into gun shot into Pop into gun shot.
But yea the loading screen is good stuff. BP comes out end of Feb, thankfully there's a Training Mode.

I though the 30fps console demo was fine but side by side like that the 30fps video looks sub-20 ugly.
I wish this steam release/preload wasn't such a shitshow!

Other than NG3 Sigma, I'd like to see them move on to NG4. They just need to take what they learned from NG3, and Razor's Edge, and apply it to that. They're certainly capable.

I enjoyed Ninja Gaiden 3, mostly because I can look past all the stupid things (and there were many stupid things).
I felt ninja gaiden 3 could have been on par with 2 had they not dumbed down the combat. Ninja gaiden 2 had enemy designs that were thought up by a 13 year old. To me it was an inferior game to 1 (though I thought 1 had also some questionable enemy designs). Anyway, Team Ninja did a stupid move thinking that making their game accessible would result in more sales. Every gaming website was bound to tear this game to shreds because the core gameplay the series was known for was stripped out - and these days, with games at $60, people read reviews. Whatever they do with 4, I hope they take the enemy designs more seriously, give us a light story without stupid characters just to keep the action moving along, and add a lot of interesting combat mechanics that would make players want to replay the game and master the character.
/end rant
On topic: decided I will go to work tomorrow because of steam's stupid activation system. hoping the PC version will not disappoint and that the DLC costumes are available from the start.

"What if there was a zombie and like...he had a chainsaw...AND A CANNON. ZOMG" - NG2 enemy designer, 14-year old kid hyped up on sugary ceral
17 hours?
Man
Will Steam at least download automatically when it's available? I'll be working, so maybe when I get home it'll be ready
Get the steam app for your phone if you can, you can remotely start downloads if your PC and steam is running. I think it's possible to do from the website too.
I've been saying this since NG2 was released. Right along with Werewolves that throw their own bodyparts at you. The enemy designs in that game were atrocious.

And some truly shit bosses(the fuckin' armadillo that blows up in your face, the giant electric fish, the damn underground worm in the this PS1 2000-era green hole of DOOM, etc). Not a single great one in there. Some people complain about DMC4 that it's combat its the only great strength it has. Well, at least it has good enemies/bosses for the most part. And Bloody Palace. NG2 had fun combat on it's standard enemies, and that's it. Boring, streamlined level design and collectibles, shit bosses, poor framerate, ugly enemies, off-screen projectile spam, shit extras at launch(no mission mode!? only leopard print unlockables!?)...Ninja Gaiden 3 was bad, but so was Ninja Gaiden 2, man.
And it was AWESOME, in an immature kind of what, which is what you should expect when playing NG.
Compare that to NG3, where they tried to be serious and have the majority be human enemies. And the few fiend enemies that there were were generic and unmemorable, while I definitely won't forget werewolves throwing their own decapitated body parts at me or a chainsaw-cannon armed zombie.

Noone is questioning that, it's the series' heritage as 60fps games that makes things like this a thing.

The framerate change is a big point of the drama surrounding DmC.
It's a bit of a special case.
I wish the video quality was much better, and they had some videos that were just straight 60fps footage.
Hopefully it will convert some of the people who wouldn't have bought it based on the framerate.
So I was randomly wondering about what the themes of DmC were, to try uncover some kind of meaning that NT was perhaps trying to impart. Well, we know for sure that the aesthetics of the game are inspired by the punk, with the graffiti, the union jack on Dante's coat, and the general theme of the game being about fighting for freedom from demon oppression. To be honest, the most meaningful expression of this I found was in the end,
Due to my ignorance of punk, I can't think of anything else besides generalities like these. Can anyone here find more things that fall into punk philosophy or something?
where Dante refused to let Vergil take control. I agreed with Vergil actually, since it's gonna be utter chaos for the next few years and Vergil leading people in this new world might help some, so I was confused that Dante refused to let Vergil do it. At first, I had assumed that Dante thought he'd succumb to power and become just as bad as Mundus was, but with the punk subculture in mind, Dante may just oppose any authority whatsoever, and is perfectly happy to let anarchy reign.

I purchased the game on GMG ad got two codes, the game code and the costumes pack dlc code, entered both codes on steam and click pero load and freaking steam only downloaded the dlc and it shows up as the preload is complete, so I deleted te local content an hit preload again and the same thing happened, it keeps downloading the dlc thinking is the full game, anyone else having this problem?
Yes, same thing here. I'm just being patient to see what happens when the game unlocks.
