Let’s rock, child! Season 6 of Video Gameography will get fashionable as we look at the Satan Might Cry series! Over the subsequent few weeks, we’ll be overlaying the historical past and lore of Capcom’s premiere motion franchise. Immediately we look at the franchise's boldest, most divisive, however arguably strongest entry but in DmC Satan Might Cry.
Needing to shake up the series, Capcom turned to British studio Ninja Idea to reboot and reimagine Satan Might Cry. Inspired by the writer to be as wildly artistic as potential, the workforce behind Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West dreamed up a grittier model of Dante who inhabits Limbo Metropolis, a world current in parallel with the demonic realm. This relationship spectacularly manifests within the metropolis itself coming to life, shifting its buildings and roads to hinder and assault the demon slayer.
Sporting jet black hair and the power to faucet into angelic and demonic powers, this new imaginative and prescient of Dante garnered heaps of vitriol from followers who noticed DmC as too drastic of a departure, regardless of the sport launching to rave opinions. On this episode, we'll look at how DmC got here to be, the function Capcom performed within the sport's wildest concepts, Hideaki Itsuno's response to the undertaking, the backlash Ninja Idea endured, and provides our total impressions of the narrative and gameplay.
