I disagree, fundamentally canon must have an authority, otherwise it just comes down to opinion, and therefore there is no such thing as canon. If person A says DMC2 is canon because they like it, and person B says no because they don't like it, you're saying they're both right, in which case...

How is the story progressed, I don't understand what you mean. What I saw was buildings moving, I can't tell you anything about the narrative from that, just looks like a gimmick, or something cool to look at at best. Regarding abilities - I never said anything about that. I'm talking about...

It's in their hands, but in terms of the actual story that was written, they might "own" it, but that's not the same as it being "canon", at least in my mind. Again, if somebody else, or a company, bought the Lord of the Rings franchise and continued it, nobody would regard it as "canon"...

Who says what is "canon"? A producer, director, writer, because they are paid to make a game or a book? The writers for DMC1 were Kamiya and Noboru Sugimura. Neither of those wrote the story for 2, 3, 4 or for this new game. So in my opinion, nothing has been "canon" since then. If somebody...

Yes, DMC would be back on track then... but keep dreaming, I don't believe it will happen. Capcom are not interested in making a quality / classic / hardcore game, they just want $$$ and that means mass market, 90s, and all the rest. Platinum Games are known for their high quality games...

Platinum Games is without competition. Metal Gear was a stealth series, so I can see why some people will be disappointed. But, to me the quality of the game is paramount, before genre and consistency. I'm a MGS fan, but this doesn't bother me. Platinum games developing the game to me outweighs...

What potential is opened up, and where is the evidence that they have worked hard on the platforming? We see him do a couple of straight jumps, then use hookshot on things directly in front of him in a straight line down the church. I honestly am not trying to troll or just argue for the sake...

What do people like about this gameplay footage, besides the graphics? Do you believe there is any skill in what we have been seen? The guy holds up on the left analog to run through it, a couple of jumps, hookshot at the end through the church, and that's it. Why is this impressive?

Remember all those vids from DMC3 of experienced players replaying the platforming sections over and over, to see who could do it with the most style, trying out all the different ways to approach jumping from one platform to another? Those were the days. Good thing they have worked hard on...

Check it, I did an illustration of Gene doing the Dragon Kick on the new "dante". BOOYAH

In this vid we see a player hold up on the left analog stick, then press jump a few times at the end. Doesn't sell me on anything.

Not sure if I nodded off halfway through the trailer, or clicked a different link to everyone else. But this trailer didn't show me anything new, combat and moves look slow and uninteresting when compared to DMC3, and I still don't see much difference between the weapons and their fighting...

Heh heh heh...

I'll keep it short and to the point: - Get rid of platforming / puzzle sections - Get rid of item fetch and back tracking - Don't focus on graphics, and cutscenes. Get the gameplay smooth and hardcore - Get rid of red orbs, instead just hand over weapons and upgrades as you go through the game...

Well, we've drifted off topic! Sorry for the derailment... to comment on the actual thread - this is a really good step, and I think more studios should do this. It's tough to locate these top players, and to decide who to go for. But, to even get some outside information is good, besides the...
