Get ready for the action-packed thrill ride of the summer, courtesy of the masterminds behind the original Final Fantasy VII. Breakout star Vincent Valentine returns in this adrenaline-fueled rampage that propels players into the middle of an ongoing conflict that threatens all life on the planet. Three years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, an unknown group of seemingly unstoppable soldiers appears, bringing a swift and bitter end to the peace enjoyed by the people of the world.
The members of this enigmatic group are the ones who were trapped under the ruins of Midgar for three long years—the Deepground soldiers. Vincent Valentine finds himself pursued by several elite members of the mysterious Deepground organization. We took a global survey and asked our fans what they liked about DMC, says Tanaka. Overwhelmingly, gamers responded with how cool they thought Dantes character was, and how much they liked DMCs action gameplay.
So this time, were focusing on those two aspects of the game. As he guided Dante, DMC2s lead badass, through an early area of the game, we were struck with the very same hook that first pulled us into the original. At a glance, Devil May Cry 2 looks and feels a lot like the first game.
As the dual pistol-wielding Dante, you take on hordes of supernatural bad guys cornin at ya from all sides. And when you can see the whites of their eyes, whip out Dantes massive blade for combos and other bone-crushing possibilities.
But DMC wasnt just another 3D brawler. Its appeal was embodied in Dante, a supercool half-man, half-demon hybrid packing enough heat and one-liners to make Vin Diesel look tike a girly-man. Aside from giving him even more zing with a gun see sidebar , DMC2 sees Dante performing Matrix-like feats such as running onto a wall, doing a reverse flip and blasting enemies on the downstroke.
These acrobatics serve as more than just new signature moves, theyre also important for the sequels huge city levels. Tanaka shows us the first level of the game, which features a full-blown Euro-style town. This level is about nine times the width of any area in Devil May Cry, Tanaka explains.
Players are encouraged to jump onto rooftops and leap from one to the next because theres more than one way to get to the end. Tanaka then pulls the camera way back for a flyby of other places well likely visit on our journey through hell: a massive helipad in the middle of the sea, of all places; an ancient temple reminiscent of Mayan architecture; and last but certainly not least, an impressive dark urban wasteland with skyscrapers galore.
Other aspects of the game that Tanaka and his team have focused on are difficulty level and camera views, which players complained about in the first game. We felt that the biggest problem of DMC was that it was too difficult, says Tanaka. Devil 2 will adjust the level of difficulty to adapt to how good the player is so that if you die a lot, the game will throw out less enemies and make them easier. This game will be a lot more accessible for mainstream players.
As for the camera, only time will tell; Tanaka assures us that its not going to be a problem for the sequel. So is Tanaka nervous about taking on the highly anticipated DMC2 as his first-ever project? Not really. The only pressure I have is the deadline to get the game done, he tells us. They moved the release date up four months, so its been stressful.
Just remember, Capcom loves you. This time, Dante and his demonic foes frolic among the streets and rooftops of a giant abandoned city, including skyscrapers so tall they'd make Spider-Man nervous.
An entirely different team at Capcom is developing this action-adventure sequel, promising brighter levels and a second female playable character. When the original Devil May Cry was released, it's originality, diverse game play, and graphics made it an instant hit with its legion of fans. Now Capcom has given us the second installment in this gothic thriller. We've been begging for this title for over a year. Was it worth the wait? You again find yourself in control of Dante, half human and half demon, devil hunter, but this time you aren't limited to just playing Dante.
For the lady fans of DMC, you can opt to play as the devilish Lucia, who in many ways is as deadly as Dante. Each of these characters has their own disk and you can play them in any order that you like. I won't bother you with the plot of DMC2 , as it is pretty much irrelevant.
The premise is simple. Your goal is to kill all demonic creatures in your path.
