tetris
They did it. Turns out Russian assassins were hunting the dev to get his idea.
I genuinely want a DMC game with the vibe of the anime. More individual jobs, less world-shaking consequences. Best chance we have now is a stopgap game with Nero & Nico driving around taking jobs, but I think the time for such a game would've been a couple years ago as a budget title or as an expansion DLC for 5.
same 100%, there's almost like an episodic detective show feeling to it that i thought worked really well for the setting. though i think you could still sell a game like that easily, i dont think most dmc fans are really attached to the narrative scale specifically
I agree, if they ever go back to young Dante a more small case approach would be better
Yes, this, for frick sakes.
I'm still pissed we haven't and probably will never get a modern "prime" solo Dante game, the same age he was in the first game.
DMC1's gameplay is super dated, DMC2 doesn't exist, DMC3 is Dante before he even named his shop (and also a bit dated), DMC4 is about fricking Nero, and DMC5's Dante is an old man and half the game is delegated to Nero (again) and fricking V
We haven't gotten a modern game dedicated to Dante about that time period post DMC3/1, ya know, where young(ish) Dante is actually working in fricking DEVIL MAY CRY
>DMC1's gameplay is super dated
I'm gatekeeping you right now. Shut up idiot. You got filtered. I have triple digit IQ and you're just dumb. Stop posting.
It's still the best DMC game, moron, gameplay is still archaic, moron
>gameplay is archaic
Why? Cuz you can't do some ebin combos all day long? The gameplay's perfectly fine the way it is. get lost, mr smarty pants.
Dante was pretty miserable in that show due to how small-time everything was.

Video game adaptations suck. I want to see someone who doesn't love the Antichrist to adapt Castlevania just to prove a point.
its kinda of amazing how badly they frick up something so simple like Castlevania
I saw this anime and was disappointed by the lack of Vergil and DT
Xenogears.
Because the game is already half visual novel. It would greatly benefit from being free of its barely mediocre gameplay. Not to mention, the chance of finishing disc 2.
Making a new topic:
What if you could adapt one anime based on a video game in its entirety into a video game, which would it be and why?

>one anime based on a video game in its entirety into a video game
What?
I would like to see an RE4 expansion that was the RE: Damnation film (the Russia one. Not sure if it's Damnation or Degeneration).
A good Hotline Miami live action film would be the absolute fricking breasts.
If it has to be an anime, the first Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles would be extremely kino. I also wouldn't mind seeing a Deus Ex (Jensen) anime. Particularly if they included sidequests in a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex style series.
>a Deus Ex (Jensen) anime
I would rather want them to finish Jensen storyline since third game is never ever.
FRICKING NONE YOU moron, THEYRE ALL BAD. MY ONE WISH IS THAT NONE OF THE GAMES I LIKE EVER GET ADAPTED
FRICK YOU
>He's never watched Gungrave
Fatal Fury was awesome
The Fatal Fury movies had no right being as good as they were
That's what happens when you get a,director who likes the product even before adapting it.
Obari as frick
There is no right answer.
I kind of liked the DMC anime as it was. It wasn't CUHRAZY like the games but it was sort of neat to see day job Dante not doing world ending stuff. DMC really doesn't scream comfy, but it was.
>DMC doesn't really sceam comfy
"Temen-ni-gru, home."
Anyways I pick Bloody Roar for the most OVA ass fighting game style anime.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Legacy of Kain series
Disco Elysium
Final Fantasy IX
Arcanum
Isn't Disco Elysium being made into a show?
live action garbage
It's crazy how many games have been adapted into full-length anime series (like 60+ episodes) and NO ONE in the West has seen them.
Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero GP Legend, PaRappa the Rapper, .hack//G.U., Monster Rancher, Mega Man Star Force, Angelique... even fricking Power Stone has an anime!!!!
I still can't believe Virtua Fighter has a 2 season anime.
>Viewtiful Joe
It pisses me off that no one has the entire series subbed or raw.
You watch F-Zero for the final episode
>Metal Gear
>Dishonored
>A Tekken 4 adaptation that actually stays true to the lore and kino
>Ace Combat
A broadway play about Ys 1. If fricking Green Day, Persona and Legally Blonde can get a broadway play, so can Ys.
Xenoblade Chronicles 1, its literally video game shonen
It's sad that good Hollywood anime to live action dangles out of reach. They try too hard to be "LOOK, ANIME FANS, IT'S JUST ANIME BUT IRL" instead of trying to make anything of quality.
Ironically
>Ghost in the Shell
>Alita
>Death Note
Are the best frameworks for Hollywood Anime to Live action. Let's look at Death Note (despite it being the worst of the three)
>it doesn't take place in Japan and didn't use Japanese people, so Hollywood could actually work within their wheelhouse
>they didn't work too hard to make anyone an anime character unlike Cowboy Bebop or the incoming One Piece shit. Even Ryuk looks closer to Hollywood than anime
unfortunately
>acting was shit outside of Dafoe
>marvel quips
>too much of a condensed story
>Light was shit
>L was shit
That's basically what sonic did.
And Sonic did really fricking well and SA2 is being adapted to film
GitS and Alita were good movies though. You're right about Death Note.
They fricked up Bebop too. Like the setpieces were fine but that fricking ABYSMAL writing tanked the show harder than anything else.
You realize there was already three (3) live action Death Note movies before DeathFlix, right?
Does that have any bearing on any of the points I brought up?

All 10 games
this anime is like peak blue balling. i don't think they ever show Devil Trigger and Vergil isn't even mentioned. why they didn't just adapt DMC3 is beyond me.
Because the games are awful for that sort of thing, especially DMC1 and 3. The entirety of DMC3 takes place in a single location. There are only four regular characters, the rest die as soon as they appear. It's incredibly difficult to make a good show out of that. The entirety of DMC3 is literally just Dante climbing a tower. Twice.
then add a bunch of filler shit. the whole anime was basically filler anyway. at least DMC3 + filler would have guaranteed us some set piece scenes and climactic fights.
Unironically, while I don't think that Nero can entirely carry a game on his own if only because Dante is the single biggest selling point to these games and by leaving him out you'd basically be alienating a good chunk of the playerbase, I do think that Nero might be the only character who's actually capable of carrying an entire show.
First off, Nero runs a mobile office. This means that he's constantly on the move which makes for more dynamic stories. Second, he has at least one person actively supporting him, making shit for him, so on. Someone to regularly interact with. That's a massive boon. Dante's mostly a loner. Even in the anime when he had Patty around, she didn't actually follow Dante around on his adventures and had no means of communicating with him, so in most cases Dante was mostly alone. He works alone, he doesn't need or want help. Subsequently, there's no worthwhile dialogue in this show. No one says anything interesting and Dante's practically mute 70% of the time when he's on the clock. But Nero? Nero always has someone he could talk to. An anime could add even more support for him giving him so much more to work with. Nero's actually socially inclined. I mean he was a dick in DMC4 but he does talk to people and he has friends. Dante has friends but they're never around.
They'll expand Nero's arm system.
He'll have multiple directional inputs and be able to cycle between them with his Dpad
That's irrelevant. There's a massive chunk of consumers who would probably just not buy this game purely because they don't see Dante. That's the sad reality of Devil May Cry. If you get rid of Dante, you WILL lose sales. I guarantee it. A DMC6 without Dante in it is doomed to sell less copies than DMC5.
Itsuno, Bingo and various other devs have even said that Dante IS DMC and even if another character like Nero takes a bigger focus for a game, Dante will forever be there. A solo Nero game is never happening unless it's a budget spinoff.
Yeah. But I think a show or something can work. I kinda felt this when watching the show but Dante just can't carry a show on his own. He's too much of a loner and too self-sufficient so he's always on his own and barely talks to anyone. I mean, I guess you can have him banter with his enemies like in the games, but that kinda dialogue is incredibly shallow and can't carry a show at all. With Nero, you can give him a headset or something. Hell, you can even give him a companion who might fight alongside him. He actually fights alongside V a bit in DMC5. He's not above team play at all. In Dante's case, the only one who can keep up with him is Vergil, but with Nero, it's just easier to tell a story with him because he's someone who HAS to engage with other people in order to get by.
DMC3 does perfectly with Dante on his own. He has Lady to bounce off of, as well as Vergil and Jester. You could also easily have him fighting alongside Lady and Trish, as well as basically any other devil hunter. He's not above pulling punches for the fun of it.
He's also an incredibly charismatic character, so he could absolutely be the lead of a series just based on that. The anime should have leaned more heavily into action scenes, because that's when his personality and style shines best. Frankly, the cutscenes in DMC3 would be a perfect model for how a DMC anime should be. They're really well-animated and have a lot of energy and character. Any scene with Lady mowing down Sins perfectly displays what she's a out, style-wise. A good DMC anime would understand that you have a character showing off what they're about during fights (i.e. Vergil's intro scene in 3, or even in 4).
As long as Reuben's not doing the voices anymore It's cool.
Why have you been shitting up every DMC thread with your raging hateboner for Reuben?
You would have a different situation in an anime, obviously, and have a lot of involved combat scenes because that's what people want out of DMC. The point is that they obviously can have him as a solo lead in a game because DMC3 worked just fine. It'd be done differently for an anime, because DMC3 wasn't an anime so the focus was on the fighting much more.
I think the ideal would be a series between 1 and 4 where it's Dante working with Lady and Trish. Because then you have two characters with him to bounce off of, you can develop Lady and Trish more (because they need it, since they're bare bones in every game but their introductions), and you can have fight scenes with all three and do cool shit by having their personalities interacting with each other through the way they're fighting (i.e. Dante whining when Lady just caps a demon that he was toying with and juggling).
I'm saying Dante can carry a game because meaningful conversation isn't that important in an actual game. But I find him pretty poor at carrying a show because he's far too self-sufficient. It'd be severely out of character for him to ever need or want Lady's help on anything. He prefers working alone and Lady just can't do anything to help him because she's fifty tiers below his weight class.
It's not out of character because the entire point of 3 is that he needed Lady's help to understand how to better cope with trauma. He explicitly tells her that she taught him what really mattered and that without her he would have kept running from his problems. The reason he's so strong is she reminded him of his humanity.
Dante is incredibly powerful so most fights wouldn't have stakes, but that's true of the games, too. There's plenty of reason he might want the help of other characters. I mean, he even directly says she can come along at the end of 4, just to have her company. And Trish comes along to hang out, even if he can probably handle whatever the mystery job is on his own.
I don't know what the frick you're talking about. I just see what I assume is you enter every single DMC thread and immediately start posting incessantly about how much you hate Reuben, unprompted.
You're just trying to throw in a bunch of bandaid solutions. Dante was never designed to tell a normal story without gameplay. He NEEDS gameplay. Gameplay is what gives him value.
I don't see how pointing out explicit parts of his character are band-aid solutions. He's a charismatic character with a lot of personality and a ton of examples of having fun and compelling conversations with other characters. Your worry seems to be that he's too powerful to be hanging out with other characters and to be threatened by much, which is just as much an issue in a game as an anime. But he's very clearly pulling punches in 4 for the sake of fun, which he can also do in an anime. And, again, you're saying he wouldn't work alongside other characters when he works alongside other characters in 1 (Trish), 4 (Trish, Lady, and kind of Nero), and 5 (Trish, Lady, Nero, V, and Nico). He works alongside people all the time. Willingly and happily, because there's ample evidence that he genuinely likes and cares about all of those people.
In 1, he spends the majority of the time with Trish alone. Trish is thoroughly unhelpful.
In 4, Trish operates completely separately from Dante and only meets up with him three times.
In 5, he's only with the two of them because Morrison got them to go, and he even objects to it at first. They're mostly separate and then Dante spends the rest of the game on his own.
Don't you get it? The first chance he gets, Dante would ditch them.
Yes, because she's a double agent.
That's pretty much entirely a gameplay contrivance, I feel, since Dante has to be in his own. Logistically, there's no reason Lady and Trish wouldn't be with him.
Because he's worried they'll get hurt by Vergil (rightfully so, because they do).
In an anime, it wouldn't even be a contrivance to have him alongside the other two frequently.
Again, at the end of 4 he explicitly and willingly goes on a job with Lady and Trish, and the implication is that he and Trish go on jobs together all the time, and that they frequently work with Lady. There's no reason he couldn't work alongside them. And if you're saying he wouldn't want to and it's out of character for him to (which it isn't), then just... Have him complain about it but be forced to like what you're claiming happens in V. Make it a running gag that he keeps trying to get away from them but Trish finds him and drags him back.
You're arguing against shit I never said, because I'm just calling you annoying for spamming it unprompted in every DMC thread like an obsessed schizo.
Where do you think you are sonny jim? I live to be annoying.
He lets them come along, but he doesn't need them so there's literally nothing stopping him from just going off on his own anyway. Neither of them can keep up with him to begin with.
That's the core problem. Dante doesn't need Trish or especially Lady. He can do anything and everything on his own, and for anything he can't, well. I mean it's not like Trish and Lady help. They're dead weight. They're deader weight than Deadweight.
>I don't know what the frick you're talking about.
That's because you're the secondary who started with 3 like I said. *mic drops*
You never said that to me, so you're having a schizo episode. I played 1, I just don't think Reuben does a bad job as Dante's voice. Multiple people can disagree on you about something and call you out when you spam it constantly.
I started with 1 when it released. I don't have your attachment to zoomer Dante. I never will. I'm gonna die on this hill. You're never going to hear the end of it. Dante needs a new VA. All there is to it.
I'm not letting you have your echo chamber. I'm plain sick of this guy as Dante. I don't expect secondaries who started with 3 to understand.
Eh. I don't have much attachment towards his previous two VAs. Dante's never held a worthwhile conversation prior to 3, though I won't say his conversations were all that worthwhile even there. I guess wouldn't be that broken up if Langdon got replaced though, but I have zero feelings regarding his previous VAs.
He needs to stay out of the roles he's not fit for. you need to know where to draw the line. 3-5 Dante are his. Retrofitting reuben as 2Dante? Making him sit around and sigh all his lines for anime Dante? Get the frick outta here with that garbage.
I don't feel that strongly about it. It's not like his previous two VAs were any good at holding a conversation either so I don't really give a frick. I guess if you got him a new VA who can actually act, that might be one thing, but why would they bother?
Besides, it's Atlus' fault for adding fully voiced dialogue in the first place.
You can say you don't have the attachment all day long. Neither do I. no cap. Reuben's a hokey mocap guy. Nothing more.
Lady, Vergil and Jester aren't actually nearby most of DMC3. The overwhelming bulk of DMC3 is just Dante killing things alone while very, VERY occasionally meeting up with other characters only to separate from them immediately after. How the frick are you gonna fill twelve episodes with that? The majority of the time, Dante and Lady aren't anywhere near each other, while Arkham has to divide his time between Vergil, Dante and Lady and also working shit from behind the scenes.
I don't watch anime or TV or even really movies
But a MadWorld anime would fricking rule.
breath of the wild
i think the story in the game is fundamentally good if a bit lacking in execution, and i think a botw anime movie (or series ig) has the potential to fix that while also being fricking beautiful
given how much it takes from ghibli movies, which are already great, im not sure how you could frick it up aside from just hyperfocusing on stupid shit instead of the stuff that made the game cool (which could happen lol)
maybe after the tp manga we could get a botw manga?
Eh. I guess a movie could work but not a show. No one actually wants to watch a show where a lone adventurer travels on his own, infiltrates dungeons on his own and kills monsters on his own. Even if he weren't mute, he'd have no one to talk to.
I think you could turn something like Twilight Princess into a show if you change some details. It worked as a manga after all. You might be able to do something similar to Wind Waker and Skyward Sword as well. But since Link's completely on his own in BotW, you're kinda left with a story where Link is just moving through a series of his events on his own.
i was thinking a movie would fit better yeah, but i think there are easy solutions to the problems youre talking about; it's more about the execution than anything
i think it would work better with frequent memory flashbacks, maybe more focus on them compared to the game. also, i agree link needs to talk. it was just fine in the manga so i think itd be ok here, especially if you flesh him out more.
if its really necessary though, he could be given a companion of some sort. i also think it would work just fine with minimal dialogue (maybe letting the audience hear link's internal monologue or him mumbling to himself).
as for dungeons, botw de-emphasizes them a lot, so i think it would be ok for most of the focus to be on other things
Almost any other Zelda game has better material to work with.
Resident Evil or Silent Hill. There aren't that many horror animes.
This guys still working on a new DMC anime. And Chris Pratt's voicing Dante.
Actually, I think Pratt could possibly work for Dante? If nothing else he'd make a better Dante than Mario.

I sell a kidney for the the J.C. Denton and Adam Jensen pieces of the Deus Ex series getting the Edgerunners treatment. It couldn't one-to-one with the games, but it could be pretty cool, and give us the ending to Jensen's story that we're never going to get otherwise (and hopefully change some of the missteps Mankind Divided made with its heavy-handed preachiness).

Never played any Devil May Cry game but they did do an anime, and while I haven't seen it, the opening theme is godly.
Catherine. I think it would make for a good late night show.
