Capcom announces DmC Devil May Cry, developed by Ninja Theory

When you say "they already know how to make combat" are you referring to Capcom or NT?
If you are referring to Capcom its NT that will develop the combat. If you are referring to NT most likely they cant compete with Capcom.

This is going to turn out as a completely different game if Capcom doesnt lay some hand in the development

 

Capcom obviously and obviously Capcom has some hand in it. If it is a true collaborative and not a let's just over see the development of one of our games by another dev it is best for Capcom to choose a company whose strengths are not in the same areas as their own.

Ha ! looks like I was right

 

lol Here was thinking "this DmC trailer makes it look a UE-made game, but it can't be..." and now I finally know I'm right! I should stick with the idea that your first answer is usually the right one.

 

Why do people hate the Unreal Engine? It may have it's flaws but it also usually leads to a pretty good looking game. At least what I've seen with the updated engine.

 

DMC needs to be 60fps. Try playing the PC DMC4 at 30fps and you'll see how clunky it feels. Like fighters, DMC and NG have intricate combat that loses responsiveness at lower frame rates.

 

Yeah, I like UE3 engine as well. I just often have the feeling that its full potential is unleashed by Epic themselves - their games just look better than other UE3 games in average (the only exeption I can think of is Bioshock). So when other devs use UE3, I am typically sceptical...let's see how the DMC devs can handle UE3.

 

I've already seen a video of Tameem Antoniades describing how they are at liberty to redefine Dante's moveset. So better don't expect too much restraint and oversight by Capcom there.

E3 trailer. Overall graphics and animations look a little rough but other than that I thought it was pretty cool.

 

meh...looks to slow.

 

It lacks a little umph !

 

Apparently Ninja Theory is just handling art, gameplay is still with Capcom.

 

Is this one 30 fps?

 

The character design is putting me right off, Dante now looks like a drug addict ew. Not touching this game with a ten foot pole I'm sorry NT.

 

No. NT are the developers.

Oh come on. No he doesn't.

 

No. they mentioned clearly in GAMES(TM) that Ninja Theory is just handling art. Its a collaboration.

 

Yea he does..

 

I never said they weren't collaborating but it is being developed by NT as mentioned in pretty much every article since it was unveiled - just for clarity's sake though, could you post a link?

 

Yeah, would love a link to the GAMES article. Should be a good read. I thought the DMC art direction is fine. Why change it ? Is gameplay getting revamped too ?
