Aye it's just a shame Bayonetta 2 is coming to the WiiU only....

Why is that a shame? I'm hoping Platinum, with their great skills, can make some good use of the Gamepad. If not, it'll hopefully be at least just as good as the original.

Because it's an exclusive? Wow, better start saving for a Wii U.

Damn, Tempy it gets good when you get to Dante sorry my disk packed up mate ;(

Smang

platforming in DMC? again, i feel that was another nero problem, those grapple point sections were shite, dante didn't bother with them if i recall. which brings up another thing i don't like about this reboot... too much platforming!

The whole back tracking through the entire world and the stupid board game thing near the end make me wonder why people remember it so fondly.

the backtracking, again, was due to the inclusion of nero imo. you play the game, then play the levels in reverse as dante.Â technicallyÂ its not backtracking if the return journey is made by another character

and there is a trick to the dice so you can get whatever number you need. wasn't that bad once you worked it out.

it's a shame because to me the WiiU looks like a massive fail, and i'm probably never going to get one.

I can't see it staying exclusive forever though.

That's still back tracking to me. It's the same locations, even if the other character is completely different. Scenery and level design mean a lot to me in games, Devil May Cry original has a ton of going around the same area which is fine because they mix it up way more, the trip back with Dante in DMC4 just felt way too lazy to me.

Smang

i wasn't being entirely serious. the irony is there are as many different stages in dmc3, the backtracking was just more subtly done in that. or maybe more intelligently i should say.

Behind every winking smilie is a hint of truth!

Smang

haha, nah i can't really defend dmc4. i'm just happy the HD collection was done well and not one of those sub par crapcakes!

fullspectrum

Need that at some point, and MGS collection still.

Smang

get it. must be cheapish these days...Â

the best bit about dmc3 is that it's Kens voice actor

also pick beowulf, he has a dp during which he shouts 'rising dragon'

fullspectrum

Too good.

Visiting a mate's house today to socialize and get this shown off to me. Feels like i'm 15 again.

It also feels like the people who wrote it are 15 sometimes.

Yes to the HD collection, nice little package, halfway through the first game on hard. There are so many Resident Evil holdovers in it, it's crazy. Hard is brutal, I don't think I'll ever attempt DMD. The terribly compressed sound sample of a loud siren which plays repetitively when you start fighting is lovingly noxious and has probably invaded my nightmares.

Smang

15? really? surely with such witty and well written dialogue i would imagine a fully grown adult is responsible.

well the trick to DMD on all the games is that you getÂ infiniteÂ trigger... which might tell you how hard the enemies are set. in DMC1 most of the minor encounters are replaced by the bosses

and the battle music in 3 is worse!

Curtis

Just started this on PC. Looks fantastic and runs like a dream. Frame-rate is much improved.

Loving what i've played so far!

Frosty

Yeah I started playing the PC version last night and it's great. Combat is a lot of fun and I'm enjoying it a lot more than DMC4.

Bosses so far have been a bit rubbish though. They seem to require a lot less technique than the previous games.

Subbax

So what's the verdict on console graphics then? I've not played anything like this for a while. If its not great I could always get Bayonetta.

There are smatterings of terrible cliched shit dialogue peppered throughout the game in the vein of edgy Michael Bayisms.

I think the music and sound design is the best it's ever been for DMC in the reboot.

Shit, I think I forgot my sarcasm detector yet again, DOI.

It looks pretty on PS3, though the framerate suffers ever so slightly now and again during cut-scenes. Nothing too bad, but the shadows are a bit sketchy during cut-scenes but I'm guessing that's down to the Unreal engine not being particularly well suited to PS3.

Tempy

Bayonetta is a [10] get Bayonetta.

Subbax

The problem with Bayonetta is I think I'd get a boot in the bollocks from my other half if I bought it.

I've seen some vids and it does look really nice though. It may be a [10] but is it worth singing falsetto for?

Domestic violence is a worse thing than debatably misogynistic character design, your other half needs to take a LONG HARD LOOK IN THE MIRROR.

MattyJ

My girlfriend bought me Bayonetta. It's really not that big a deal.

Bollockoff

I still laugh that the hardest difficulty is called "Infinite Climax".

Frosty

PC version is the best. Get that.

Tempy

60fps on the PC for this is amazing. Current gimmick is air cancelling every encounter, kill 20 enemies without touching the ground? Easy.

Subbax

What's air cancelling and is it in Bayonetta?

Cex are selling it for a fiver so may get it when I venture out in a bit.

Tempy

Air/jump cancelling is jumping during an air combo to stay in the air and juggle for longer.

Bayo has a form of air cancelling but it isn't needed because she doesn't loose height like Dante, and she has a more diverse move set in the air.

Frosty

Top tip for PC version to get rid of the unskippable intro movies every time you start the game.Â

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DmC Devil May Cry\DevilGame\Config

Open DefaultEngine.ini and look for a section called [FullScreenMovie]

Change the following lines:

+StartupMovies=Capcom
+StartupMovies=Ninjatheory
+StartupMovies=UE3_logo
+StartupMovies=AMDLogo
+StartupMovies=Save_360
+StartupMovies=blac

to

;+StartupMovies=Capcom
;+StartupMovies=Ninjatheory
;+StartupMovies=UE3_logo
;+StartupMovies=AMDLogo
;+StartupMovies=Save_360
;+StartupMovies=black

Game will now start at the menu.

Howdy, Stranger!
