Because nothing about it looks at all appealing to me? I'm sure the gameplay will be great but I'm not gonna die if I skip an action game I don't like lol. This doesn't hit any of the notes that made me like DMC1/3/4 besides game mechanics.
considering that there are like 2 franchises left in the genre, you would effectively miss 50% of the entire output of the industry XD

Someone please make this an avatar for me. This is the PERFECT look for Dante.

Dragon's Dogma outsold every Devil May Cry game, and there's no sequel to that game. So I can see why Capcom is changing the formula each time with DMC - because the series doesn't sell enough as is to warrant sequels.

Hopefully we get more gothic-inspired architecture like 1&3 beyond the modern-looking city aesthetic, but everything looks/sounds great otherwise. I'm glad to see DMC back!

I'm fine with Nero, I just wanted more Dante.

I really hope we see Virgil and Lady again too.

So is this officially the best looking 60fps game now?

Rendering-wise, this shit lookin' kinda nuts for a solid 60.

Why is Capcom so disconnected from the DMC fanbase? All we wanted was a Dante led game leaning into gothic aesthetics.:(

They want to lean into new tech and not totally alienate the customers they picked up from DmC, it seems.

What DMC fans are not going to pick this up with the actual Dante and Itsuno back? Plus those who preferred the more western look of DmC might be interested as well. Doesn't seem like a bad gamble. It could work out well for them.

My guess is Vergil is an unlockable character.

If they honestly think bringing in some third dork nobody cares about as the third character and hold Vergil back for an unlockable slot that would be tremendously disappointing. Vergil deserves a full campaign and entirely new weapons to unlock, rather than just being a bonus.

capcom doesn't care about the dmc fanbase..we are too few for them

they tried disregarding us completely last tie and it bit them in the ass..so this time they are trying to get both worlds..devilmay cry combat but with western style everything else

But why does "western style" insinuate a stupid-looking smug Nero? That's the part that makes no sense.

I love the fusion in artistic style between DmC and DMC. Also, great to see Nero being given another chance and Dante and Kratos can now become beard buddies.

Ah man if people are made about how this entry looks, they're gonna be really made when they see Claire and Leon with realistic faces instead of what came before:

Lots of developers have successfully transitioned to more realistic faces and styles, and aged characters, faithfully. Kratos from God of War is a recent example. Capcom is just consistently fucking up their designs.

That Dante face tho. Hmm, yeah not sure why Capcom can't seem to get faces right. I understand that this is supposed to be an actor's face but whats with the big push to have actor's faces in games? If you really want this to be good old return to form why change the characters faces so much? Feels unnecessary. It doesn't turn me off from the game but still, its odd.
