DmC: Devil May Cry

Something a decade old is not up to date? http://i.imgur.com/LXQK1.png

Anyways, I enjoyed DMC1 more than the others. I prefer interacting with more capable enemies rather than performing aerial ballet on walking sandbags.

The QTEs are not even really QTEs like in games like Vanquish. Did you play God Hand? There's "QTEs" when you pummel someone to hell and back. Button mashing during those sequences can't be considered QTEs like the new RE games

Have you even played Bayonetta? There's cutscene and gameplay QTEs all over the place that are no different than in Resident Evil and God of War which get slapped with the QTE label all the time. I don't even know why you bring it up; Hideki Kamiya had no involvement whatsoever to do with Vanquish. His games at Platinum to this point was Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101 and a supervisor role in Bayonetta 2.

Actually, the Triangle jump in DMC1 was only for North America. After that they sticked to the japanese standard.

Yep. In fact, when they did the DMC HD Collection, to stay consistent with the rest of the franchise the DMC1 was ported from the Japanese release.

When Hideki Kamiya was developing Bayonetta, he researched DMC4 just to keep up with the times, because he himself acknowledged that the stuff he did in DMC was not up to date.

WOAH. HOLD UP. I'm gonna need a second to comprend this. You're telling me that a guy whose last big 3D action game was back in 2001 admitted that the gameplay mechanics in that 2001 release had been surpassed by other action games since then, including the sequels which iterated and improved upon the combat engine of said game?!

Nope. My mind is still reeling from this shocking revelation.

You mean "slowswap".
Not something you can use in the middle of combos.

It actually can if you do things right.

No not really. Though DMC1 did have the most serious atmosphere.

2 had the most serious atmosphere. Dante was intense in that game. "Don't speak, just die."

They are.
Accurate description of "Press X To Not Die".

This was in response to people who keep saying "DMC will be awesome again if Hideki Kamiya directed it".
DMC improved today without his involvement, so even if he did essentially created DMC, it didn't mean much.

The same could be said about all the supposed "flaws" in DmC.

>pummel in God Hand
>not mashing attack
>die

At least admit you didn't play the game before making statements like that. The "QTE"s in God Hand only gave extra damage to a dazed enemy.
