Inafune: Devil May Cry 5 to have “western touch” to attract buyers

Part of the problem with gow’s combat is uninteruptable moves. Some combo moves are very long and you cant dodge or jump mid-move.

Dante’s inferno is a good example of taking gow’s formula and improving pretty much every aspect of the combat. Its got less controller lag, you can break out of combos with dodge/jump and a much more advanced upgrade system.

@48

“Dante’s Inferno and Ninja Blade ”

LOL? You serious? Please stop. This is even more than hillarious.

“Forrest Gump and Titanic garnered loads of “critical acclaim”. That doesn’t mean they deserved it.”

Forrest Gump and Titanic deserved the award. 2 great works in the holywood. If you didn’t like the movies than it’s your opinion. I didn’t liked Titanic at all but it’s well deserved all the awards it got.

“Almost every serious spectacle fighter fan I know can’t stand God of War, and at the end of the day, they’re the only people whose opinions matter.”

I’m a fighter fan and i don’t think that God Of War or Mortal Kombat is shit. They are all different. DIFFERENT in it’s own genre.

@Gadzooks

“you can break out of combos with dodge/jump and a much more advanced upgrade system.”

Fuck off Xbot. you know about God Of War nothing. You are noob. first of all you can break out of combos and jump. Need me to show you Platinum trophie retard? Or youtube videos?

Dante’s Inferno have better upgrade system? You mean tree skill system? Oh WOW, such an advancement from a DIABLO!!!1111. There is so much depth in it i must say.

FYI stupid. God Of War was never deep at the META Gameplay style. David Jaffe hate this type of gameplay from the start and thats the right decision, because your brain must focus on other aspects of the gameplay. All slashers do that in most cases (Except Diablo because it’s an Hack and Slash RPG game)
god Of war: Ghost of Sparta again, won’t use that system either because you just don’t need it.
The main focus of the hack and slash game is to learn the mechanics and use them against the rules of the designer.

Diablo in this case is RPG game, you need +1 Stamina + 2 strength and e.t.c. in certain skill depending on your build. Dante’s Inferno don’t have that depth. You don’t need it. You can’t construct Builds in Dante’s Inferno.

Sales are not hight because the fourth game is shit. And we have Bayonetta, which makes DMC look like an ugly mistake.

P.S. Dante’s Inferno is a horrid piece of shit, while GoW3 is a marvelous game. Although GoW3 does not compete with DMC.

@50 Except there is nothing wrong with Halo’s gameplay. People constantly ignore the innovations it has brought to the market in numerous areas just because it’s “the popular game” and it’s “cool” to insult popular stuff.

Gadzooks, you got a Gamertag or PSN ID? Always fun to play with people who appreciate game mechanics.

Forrest Gump and Titanic are truly shit btw

@ 55 Holy shit for once i actually agree with you. This isnt good.

@30: So it take it that ALL of his game are pure parody? Also i never said DMC is boring, just that that one thing bores me.

i’ve been here for quite some time now and i have come to a conclusion when it comes to some users.They’re depressing…beyond help.
You are bashing TEA for his fanboyism which is going over the edge with insults and such while some of you here are in fact far much worse than him.

At least he shows some originality and some times(very few) a little decency and respect and other times he shows admiration for a game which is not on his “beloved” ps3 while some of you bash(or show with your comments zero admiration,insulting other’s tastes) everything related exclusively to Sony either you own the console or not.

@59 Whose that aimed at?

Yep Zoop, Michael O connor and Gadzooks forming some sort of coalition, VG247s version of Pinky and the Brain.

AND LARRY!

@55 I think you don’t like them.

Personally i enjoyed Forest Gump but didn’t liked Titanic at all. But they are not shit. They deserved awards in my opinion.

@O’Connor

“Except there is nothing wrong with Halo’s gameplay. People constantly ignore the innovations it has brought to the market in numerous areas just because it’s “the popular game” and it’s “cool” to insult popular stuff.”

I like popular stuff a lot and Halo is popular in most cases in USA.
Ok, i’m asking again, what innovations?

Yea Daman is Larry definatly.

@60 It’s aimed at a bunch of VG247′s users,who know who and what they are.
As i said they show zero admiration or if you prefer they are very nit picky when a Sony related article shows up while they also don’t respect other’s tastes.If someone here is one of these users doesn’t need me to tell him,he already knows it…that he is depressing

nah, TH.

@63 They popularised the recharging shield mechanics in Halo 1, removing health-packs from FPS games overnight. Their matching-making system in Halo 2, which has been ripped off by everyone under the sun since, and the media sharing and level editing abilities of Halo 3, something which hadn’t been seen on consoles at all up to that point.

I can safely say that each Halo game had at least one feature of element that directly influenced the genre significantly in one way or the other.

I’m not even a big fan of Halo. That doesn’t mean I’m going to underplay its importance. It’s up there with games like LittleBigPlanet and Super Mario World as far as genre defining goes.

Level Editing? What about FarCry Instincts for the XBox?

@50 to me and to many other gamers out there everything is wrong with Halo and it’s gameplay.
It doesn’t deserve so much praise.Yet i respect other gamer’s tastes and i avoid talking about the subject since i really don’t care about it.

@68 I’ll concede that point about FarCry Instincts. Forgot about that game. Never played it.

@67 For a console. Gosh… Everything what you said was done on the PC before.
If someone made for a console it’s not a revolution. Maybe revolution for some person who is new to the gaming, it’s his problems but Halo have Zero innovations in reality.

PS: Halo 1 didn’t removed Health packs. You need them a lot in the first game. They didn’t vanish.

Asides of that, even if game had revolutionary ideas (Lets say it has), it’s not a good game and this is the most important part of any game.

the best FPS on Xbox 1 i remember that is not underrated was Chronicles of Riddick. That was a masterpiece.

@zoopdeloop, Hey, you can call me idiot already. You think i don’t read your comments?
BTW, i’m not insulting anyone. Who likes Halo, let it be. But i have my own opinion on that and i share. Someone agree someone thinks that i’m a stupid or an idiot. It’s fine with me.

@71 The point is that it brought it to a console audience. I’m well aware all that stuff was available on PC for almost a decade beforehand.

Does that make LittleBigPlanet any less important of a game? No. I would say LittleBigPlanet is probably *the* single handedly most important and innovative game of the current generation of consoles, simply because it showed us that you didn’t *need* a PC to embrace player created content.

“Maybe revolution for some person who is new to the gaming.”

Or to people who either don’t want to spend money on a hardcore PC, don’t have the money to do so, or simply prefer consoles.

The whole goddamn problem with gaming right now is that none of the different camps want to get along. They’re all full of elitist snobs who don’t want to have anything to do with the other.

Lord forbid we all just appreciate each format for its merits and strengths.

Its about respect other peoples tastes, be it GOW or Halo, i know some hack and slash fans who love GOW same with shooter fans and Halo. A fanboy is someone who claims to speak for an entire fanbase. I agree with Zoop, people nitpick so much at Sony on here its unbelivable be it LBP sales or GOW or GT, the amount of fanboysim it attracts is amazing.

“The point is that it brought it to a console audience.”

Well thats a fact, but it’s not the reason to go apeshit about it. Look at the game now, it’s just … Well you know…. Bad.

“Does that make LittleBigPlanet any less important of a game? No”

By the way about revolution. First one was just innovative in some ways. It was fun, but the second game is just pure revolution. It was not done even in the PC space before if i’m not mistaken.
Now you are creating your own Games. It’s whole new level. Just my offtopic thoughts.

“Or to people who either don’t want to spend money on a hardcore PC, don’t have the money to do so, or simply prefer consoles.”

1) PC’s cost not much at that time. + it’s just ignorant people
2) Ok you prefer consoles, except that FPS is a home to the PC.

@73 I always found the drama over LittleBigPlanet’s sales hilarious.

A little noticed remark by Andrew House during gamescom pointed out that since released, the game has gone on to sell over 4.5 million copies…

…man, what a flop! *sarcasm*

@74 “Now you are creating your own Games. It’s whole new level.”

Now this I can agree with. The scope of LBP2 is absolutely mindblowing. Can’t wait.

uh, wish you all weren”t just text on screen..

TH enough with that generalizing, speak for yourself really.

I am speaking for myself, another comment i dont understand from you dude.

generalizing. it’s bad.

You call it generalizing, i call it analysis.

analyze separately.

Everything comes down to preferences.The best thing to do is respect other’s preferences even if they contradict with yours.If there’s a game or a system you don’t like,don’t care simply don’t talk about it and move along to something that’s more to your liking, this will not show you as an elitist snob…this will show some respect and dignity out from you simple as that

TH i find you one of the few reasonable and decent people around here… which is your PSN and XBLA accounts?i would like to add you on my friends lists if you don’t mind

I believe, aside from the “geek” & “i love japanimation/mech”, western buyers just don’t relate to the characters, style, and story. That style is a niche`, and the truth is most westerners will over look a great game if it looks “japanesey”.

never understood people who enjoy ‘relating’ to characters in videogames, why would you want to play something you see everyday?..

New mega man looks like dirt

http://kotaku.com/5628720/our-first-look-at-mega-man-universe-gameplay

@84 Ditto. Same goes for movies and books.

Sure Zoop its Zero Empathy on Live and t67749 on PSN, anyone else add me if you want.

@84: Because it’s closer to their understanding. If you can’t relate, you don’t care.

It would also be nice to see Dante fight against some Monsters just for his goal and not to rescue the world. Give him some flaws. Make him 3D not 1D.

perception? I know, I could never sympathize with that, why would one want something like that from the character.

he isn’t that much of 1d either, if you played through the third game in particular, and he didn’t quite fight for saving the world, even in the original.

Dante never fights “to save the world” he’s a paid devil hunter, a merc, he does the job he’s paid to do, it just so happens that family ties into most of the games (we’ll ignore DMC2, it was shite and too easy).

So I reckon to claim the character of Dante is 1D would suggest you never bothered to take heed of what was going on.

@89: Forget it, if you want to play stupid, play it alone. I won’t bother anymore.

@90: Okay, he’s not 1 Dimensional, but he’s pretty close to it. Like most Capcom characters he throws one one-liner after another. There is a little bit depth, yes, but i see more potential there, and so far Capcom refused to use that.

whatever, my point is basically why would you want to play a life. that I could never see. I enjoy fantasy, weird stories myself, characters that don’t exist in your everyday life, what’s fun about playing something you can do daily (so to speak) AND even more so being virtual yourself.

So, erm who said the game shouldn’t be fantasy? Who said that Dante should be more like me? I want him to be less perfect, that’s all.

fine then, less perfect is one thing.

that’s not what i meant though. I was originally talking about people enjoying characters they can actually relate to. in which case they basically play as virtual themselves, doing something you can feel anyday.

So let me ask you this question: Can you only relate to yourself? Because i can even relate to Kane & Lynch, and i’m not like any of those bastards. Just because someone can relate to someone else doesn’t mean he’s exactly or similar to that person.

I’m with, and against YoungZer0 on this one.

Whilst I don’t think Devil May Cry is the place for it… I do want to see games dealing with larger (yet more intimate issues).

Issues such as isolation, hurt, loss, loneliness, joy, anger, sexuality, friendship, envy, etc (you know, the usual emo shtick :/).

The new Persona team game ‘Catherine’ looks to be asserting itself as a game that will deal with a dark side of sexuality. The plot is along the lines of: A protagonist having given up on women/sex until he meets a young woman (ten years his younger) who reignites his lust.

Whilst it looks very, very, VERY (hella) Japanese and kooky, I real think it could work.

I want to be emotionally attached to characters as it helps you can when narrative hit points occur and a GREAT way of gaining this attachment is via relatable caricaturisation.

I’m very tired so I’m struggling to word myself here, but i’m very much in favour of videogames following a more human route rather than being overtly fantastical.

to something close enough in terms of perception. anyway like I said that was my implication. by ‘relate’ I meant you can ‘become’ the character. that is he is close enough to you. you can’t really become someone with whom you share nothing considerable.

@96 yeah, uh in a way about right. can’t sympathize with that myself.

not to bring up the god of war thing again but does no one else think the first is the best in terms of its story? This vid i saw on the escapist highlights what i have thought about the series very well. And to be fair i like gow but i never loved it (and like i said i always thought the first was the best)

Everyone always said i was stupid in gamefaqs tard style manner whenever i brought it up tho >_> feel slightly vindicated now tho
