Announced last September, the news of DmC: Devil May Cry left an awful taste in my mouth. Capcom and Ninja Theory’s new version of Dante seemingly ruined the very essence of Dante, turning him from a fun-loving joker into a moody teenager, and changing his entire look and voice. As a huge fan of the original games, and with a lot of questions left unanswered (chiefly, why does Nero have Sparda powers and a magic arm?), the last thing I wanted [...]
If you’ve read any of my previous articles, you’ll probably know that I’m a huge fan of Devil May Cry, specifically the original Devil May Cry, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition. Sadly, in the current generation I’ve felt my hunger for Devil May Cry a little unsatisfied – while Devil May Cry 4 was enjoyable, the game really lacked replay value, and Dante got reduced to only having a few backtracking stages to play.
Leon: Seeing as it’s less than two weeks till Marvel vs Capcom 3′s release, me and Garv are getting a little bit twitchy. Looking to be one of the greatest fighters released since Street Fighter IV – which is still going strong – MvC3 brings the clash between Marvel and Capcom back from its decade-long hiatus and makes room for the latest and greatest from both sides. So to keep our fingers busy (as opposed to the usual practice of staring [...]
In the past few months there have been an absolute load of announcements for games coming out in 2011 and beyond. There were also some good game releases last year as well. But there has been something that has been niggling me about some of the latest announcements which make me think that game developers are fixing things before they are broken. I.E. Rebooting game franchises. In some respects some games need in but most of the time games don’t [...]
If you’ve read my previous articles, you’ll probably know that I’m eagerly awaiting the new iteration of the Marvel vs Capcom series. With the announced roster currently standing at 22 (with Albert Wesker, Tron Bonne, Spiderman and X-23 being the latest), an interview with Seth Killian revealed that we’ve actually only seen around half of the roster – meaning we’re looking at something around a whopping 40+ characters in the finished article. So yesterday we were finally able to get [...]
OK, my post the other day was somewhat interested in the idea of a new DmC. The idea that Capcom, even alongside Ninja Theory, could continue upon the franchise and hopefully answer some of the many questions that were left open in DMC4. Why did Nero look so much like a Son of Sparda? What really happened to Vergil, and what was his connection with Nero? And would Dante ever hook up with Lady? (OK that last one wasn’t really [...]
Devil May Cry for me has to be one of the best game franchises out there. Devil May Cry 3 being the very title to get me into the hack and slash genre and indeed the best title of the series in my opinion, that particular game had one of the most bad ass protagonists I had ever seen, plus an amazing battle system and a really good story line that had Dante’s Devine Comedy over tones mixed with good [...]
Now if you’ve been following my previous articles regarding Capcom’s latest (and most exciting) VS title, you’ll know that I’m excited to see the long-awaited Marvel vs Capcom 3 in the pipeline. Teasers released originally gave us a load of silhouettes amongst the few confirmed characters nudging us to who else would be occupying the roster in the new fighter. This week, along with all the E3 news, has given us a further look into what we can expect; with [...]
Now, the recent news concerning the announcement of Marvel vs Capcom 3 has got me buzzing, with the sudden news of a trailer, artwork, some confirmed characters and a lot of silhouettes giving us a few hints as to who else we can expect to see in next year’s release. Of course, we could wait to find out who’s coming - but we could be waiting a while. So I bring to you – my predictions for the roster of Marvel vs [...]
Today, me and Garvaos have decided to do something a little different than usual – a joint article. Together, we have compiled our own “Top Ten Game Characters” list, and will be taking it in turns to tell you why we have chosen each of the ones that we did. These characters aren’t listed in any real order – whittling down the numbers to ten characters was hard enough! So, I’ll get the ball rolling. KAIN I’ve always been a [...]
