Opinion Damn, Capcom really dropped the ball for Dante's DMCV Theme

[Neptonic]

Yeah so this got released today:
Devil Trigger was fun edgy. This is bad edgy. I'm just really confused why Capcom thought this was cool or something. It really reminds me the tone of DmC: Devil May Cry.

Anyway I'm disappointed, hopefully Dante's gameplay at TGS will still be dope.

Lock & Load if old

well, to be honest - i actually like it but then again - that's the music i generally listen to, haha

 

[Nzyme]

Eh, I am not too bothered since this really needs to work with the context of the game, so it can definitely still work.
Devil Trigger works great because it already fits the norms of the previous games and was part of a fancy trailer giving expected context. A slight change isn't necessarily bad

you also liked DmC: Devil May Cry so it checks out

exactly! it's all about the context

not gonna deny

Edit: so, hey Neptonic ... you might want to edit the video link or something ... since Capcom took the video down, haha

 

[Alcoholikaust]

I think its telling that Capcom removed the video

Im sure it will still be the theme

But I am also sure even they feel the shame.

 

[lashman]

Im sure it will still be the theme

yeah, i wonder if they'll keep it as the theme after this .... probably ... doubt they actually care about any of that stuff

 

[Neptonic]

fixed the link

also this just makes a bad song worse: Eddie Hermida Issues Apology After Sexual Misconduct Claims

 

[lashman]

oh ... oh, no ....

 

[Lain]

After Devil Trigger, that feels like a pretty big downgrade.

 

[lashman]

well, i mean ... i like that kind of music, so it's awesome for me ... all the other stuff, though - not so much

 

[Robby]

DMC has always been cheesy as hell, intentionally, so the song kind of fits the aesthetic. Doesn't mean it's good, though.

 

[Nahkapukki]

If it's the one in the trailer it was alright outside of the lyrics being there, I think having lyrics in a game OST feels cheesy.

And... Combichrist could've done a new OST for this one since I think their music type stretches over more genre limits.

 

[pahamrick]

Well, Capcom announced they ended the partnership (which apparently was agreed upon a full year before the allegations ever came out) and are looking into changing the music for the final game. So, we'll see.

The genre suits the game so I'm all for some metal in there but overall picking a genre and going all in with vocals included can turn people away who don't like metal (Read: People with bad taste in music)

Has happened to me with rap and R&B music. Car games often think they need to have some bass tracks.

 

[lashman]

if they really want vocals in there they should do what Tripwire did for Killing Floor 2 - have a "vocals" checkbox in audio settings problem solved

 

[Nahkapukki]

Yea. You have to admit that it has a bit of a cheesy feel to it when there are clear (well in this case "clear" is a bit of a stretch) vocals in there.

 

[lashman]

yes, of course ... it's baaaaad but then again - they did the same thing for 4, i believe, so .... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DmC is the best DMC tbqh.
That being said, I still think this theme is really boring...

no lies detected

eh, i personally like it ... but i'm pretty sure they won't use it now (thankfully) after the news broke ... so we'll see what they'll do

 

[Robby]

I'm endlessly amused by the fact that the lead singer looks like somebody's dad. Like he's filling in for the actual lead singer, who is at home with mono.

 

[Nahkapukki]

I'd like to see more realistic dad figures in games in general. Dads like me with the physique of a lavalamp and the sharp wits of a Stegosaurus.
