Despite the criticism, Ninja Theory’s\u00a0re-imagining\u00a0of the Devil May Cry series is looking to be one of Capcom’s hottest properties this year.<\/p>\n
The reboot – simply dubbed DmC – is looking to find the balance between a hardcore hack-‘n-slash, while also providing enough fluidity and access for newcomers to the franchise.<\/p>\n
A lot of die-hard Devil May Cry fans are hoping the game bombs as a result of Ninja Theory recreating their iconic character, but after a recent hands-on session<\/a>, CVG are assuring fans that the game is not one to put down.<\/p>\n After getting some time with the game at Capcom’s Captivate event, \u00a0Michael Gapper said:\u00a0“It’s simpler than Bayonetta, but DMC is never as dim-witted as God of War or Heavenly Sword or even Ninja Gaiden 3,” said the previewer.<\/p>\n “Every combo has a reason to exist and every weapon is useful for a very specific purpose.”<\/p>\n Dante’s symbolic\u00a0weaponry\u00a0returns – along with new angel and demon swords, which are activated with the laft and right triggers respectively – and according to Gapper, “it’s by mixing those Angel and Demon weapons you’ll find the depth in the combo system.”<\/p>\n He goes on to conclude that “at worst, DMC is a thoroughly modern callback to the original Devil May Cry, and at best, it’s a gateway drug that might just revive the entire genre. Either way it’s probably time to stop with the death threats and give the Brits a chance; they might actually know what they’re doing.”<\/p>\n The reboot of the DMC series could be exactly what the franchise needs after the underwhelming Devil May Cry 4, so we’re looking forward to it – are you?<\/p>\nSource: CVG<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\t\t
