What is so awesome about the Unreal Engine is that it auto converts any model you put into it into a space marine.

oh man, I must be from some parallel universe in which DMC4 was not a mediocre game and the series was kinda meh since the first game anyway.
Apparently, you must be some kind of god to even dare to develop a sequel to this awesome game.

We aren't talking about the previous entry or the state of the series. We're talking about the father of the genre being handed off to a developer known for a crappy fighter and a mediocre action game. Even if you didn't like DMC4 (a lot of people still liked it a hell of a lot better than HS), any chance of the series making a return to glory is most likely lost.

That's funny since DMC3 is still tied with NGB as the best action game ever created. Was DMC4 as good as DMC3? No. Was DMC4 50x better than any western-developed action game? Yes.

DMC4 still shat all over Heavenly Sword. The big issue with DMC4 was a massive amount of backtracking, which unfortunately made the game seem incredibly rushed. That aside, it still felt like a DMC game.SolidusDave said:

For a DMC fan, maybe.Monty Mole said:
As someone who couldn't give a shit about DMC, HS was a much better game. That actually felt finished instead of a copy pasta job that was DMC4

I didn't know there was any conflict between the games as I don't follow their threads. The hack and slash genre is full of enough competition eastern and western with GoW, DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, and Ninja Blade.

By "pull an SE" do you mean hiring their previous most talented lead designer back out of the blue?
That might be harder for them(since I honestly hold both Kamiya and Mikami on an equal level).

We have not even seen any footage yet...
And you have played Enslaved already, interesting.
Also, both games are not supposed to play like DMC.
(btw. while the HS gameplay would have needed changes, once you have all the moves unlocked and play on higher difficulty, it's actually quite cool. Dare I say that I liked the animations/style of the moves&finishers.)
Anyway, the closest thing to DMC is Bayonetta and that's even way better than DMC4.
DMC5 by NT would mean we get at least great cinematography. ^^
If they fuck it up like Silent Hill you can rightfully complain all day long for all I care

Conflict isn't between games. Games sit on shelves and disc trays and make (sane) people happy. Conflict is between fanboys.Warm Machine said:

I played Enslaved at Gamescom and it was pretty great for a Prince of Persia style platformer. Just the crashing aircraft level was very linear but the feel and presentation were tops.

Worst thing is, I don't think we're going to get a gameplay trailer. I could be wrong, but we're either getting a teaser or a story/cgi trailer, which means this is going to go on for a while.AAK said:

Ya, I'm not understanding the hate for this.
I thought the team was a good match for the game. The only concern that is realistic so far is that they wouldn't be able to make a game that could actually run well, but if they are using MT Framework that won't matter.

there's definitely going to be a female character with red dreadlocks.

Of course they could make a game that runs well if that was made a priority. The concern is that they do not have the combat design skills to play in the big leagues. This concern is realistic as fuck.
SolidusDave said:
well there is nothing wrong with Yuji Shimomura work ( btw he is the same guy who did the awesome crazy cinematic for Bayonetta ) in DMC4 he just didn't have the chance to actually do his thing because of DMC4 story and that abomination Nero.
I will take Yuji Shimomura's crazy corny cutscenes over the the long overacting crap of Andy Serkis anytime.
FreedomFrisbee said:
Heavenly Sword combat and countering system was complete and utter trash ,and the team thought an action game without jump button is a good idea for some unknown reasons , so no it's not just the engine that is the problem here.

This. If I wasn't already rooting for DMC5 to be great, I would now just to see people in here eat crow.
Why are some of you assuming the gameplay in DMC5 would be anything like Heavenly Sword just because that game was also made by Ninja Theory? Heavenly Sword was never trying to be DMC, it was more like God of War.
It's pretty obvious they would build on the combat from the previous DMC games.
Just because it's outsourced doesn't mean it will suck. Dead Rising 2 was outsourced to a Canadian developer that makes baseball games, and that looks like a great sequel.

Not to mention the enemy designs and most of the bosses were boring as hell. And most of the combos were completely interchangeable. The only mechanic with real gameplay repercussions was the heavy/light distinction, and that wasn't very deep.

Probably MT Framework has been given to Ninja Theory to work with, I don't expect the game to run on the UE3. Namco had no other engine for these games so they didn't have a choice.
About the game...........well Capcom has been mediocre at best with DMC4 and with DMC2 too so they need help to reinvent the series. Maybe the game will be a collaborative effort with Capcom...wait and see mode on this.

Actually, to say something nice about Ninja Theory, I have to give them credit where credit is due. Despite the unfortunate and inaccurate label "Goddess of War," Heavenly Sword's combat system really did feel like its own. It wasn't an obvious ripoff of any of the existing heavy hitters in the genre. So in a world of ripoffs, I give them credit for trying their own thing, even if I didn't like the result.
