Down With The Sickness

Lady was curled up in a red gnawed couch (a couch that had become a temporary nest of tissues and blankets) like a fuzzy, lazy cat and just like the aforementioned lady, the whole room was, too, a complete mess, but it was Dante's property, so that may explain the decaying state of it. "Who would have thought that the cold, smart and almighty Lady would catch a cold, huh?" The blonde sniggered. "It's almost funny that only a snow-ball was needed to make you look like this~." Lady sniffled pathetically. Her eyes were watering. "Very funny, Trish." The huntress, then, embraced herself tightly with the blankets that lay all around her as she f

The environments of the Devil May Cry reboot are unappealing and very unimaginative. I mean, they literally washed the environments with way too many orange and blue hues, and it's clear that they have taken from many other, much better sources. It's just as uninteresting and dull as the rest of the game itself. It's more like, in order to make the environments, Ninja Theory just did the cut-and-paste route for all this. It's more like The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, only swallowed up and regurgitated back out, and slapped with the Devil May Cry name on it.

DMC4's environment, however, is much better and more elaborate. The designers for the game made a fantasy setting, staying true to the rest of the original series, with a touch of gothic in it. The color palette is a lot better, and it doesn't hurt the eyes as much as the DmC reboot does. And it's crafted with a lot more imagination and immersion. It's so much more imaginative than the reboot. There are medieval-baroque-stylized cities, mountains, tropical rainforests, castles, and lots more. It is synonymous with the fantasy genre, and the fantasy genre is synonymous with imagination.

The environments in DMC4 really mesh together well, also. If you ever played the game, you know what I'm talking about. The designers for the 4th game really pulled it off in terms of visuals. Magic and fantasy are abound in DMC4. The Devil May Cry reboot pushes all that aside for hard and edgy, with Fox News all over it. And ugh, the reboot and its environment don't go we'll with the rest of the series at all. >.>

DmC: Devil May Cry is an example of a supernatural fantasy video game gone wrong, with lots of fantasy cliches abound. DMC4 shows how a great fantasy-themed video game is supposed to be done. Along with other factors (including the carefree Dante we all know and love), it's no wonder why the 4th installment gained so much popularity among fans of the original series and others.

Thanks for reading.

Out of the designs of all four original DMC games, I enjoy the look of the feel of the 4th game best. It has really cool-looking 19th Century buildings, ancient evils, dark magic, demons scampering around, secret places, uniquely blended areas (a city, a jungle, snow-capped mountains, a castle), magical demonic beasts (Huge deities! Winged angels! Ice toads! Big lizards!), and all-around won't-happen-in-real-life events (Supernatural phenomena OMG)! It's like a true fantasy world - all this in which I described happens in this game! It's like being in a all-new Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting or a real-life dark fairy tale. And that's why I think the look and setting of Devil May Cry 4 is the most imaginative that Capcom has ever done in the series: They made it look like a pure fantasyland.

For the reboot, they ditched the fantasy setting of DMC4 and gave us a city that tries to kill people and an edgy look? Bah, I've seen that done before in Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series. A huge contemporary city with magic all around it. Why couldn't they capture the same imagination and magical place that the internal team at Capcom did? Ninja Theory made the setting of the reboot look more like a run-of-the-mill Low Fantasy urban area, trying to ape Bayonetta. I give credit and many points to Capcom and the DMC4 team for creativity and imagination. Ninja Theory gets nada for being blah. IMO, DMC4's setting is worthy of being put in Fantasyland in a themed amusement park.

Thank you for reading!
