I'd settle for a remake.

Fuck, a version of VII with X-2 quality graphics but no other changes would be awesome.

I meen damn why create a character that is just so badass at the start...turn him into even MORE of a badass at the end.Elude in the credits of his further adventures...and leave it at that.WTF!!
That and Einhander 2....and a proper Crono Trigger sequal....Crono Cross was a milkshake of garbage,shit,and vomit.

Why should Square-enix make another FF7 game? They already have a DVD, cell phone game and FPS in the works.
What really needs to be done is remake FF8. Everyone says that FF7 is the best RPG ever, but completely forgets about 8.

I dunno - I like action games, and a FF7-themed DMC sounds like a lot of fun. Except I don't trust Square's ability to make action games. And the game doesn't look that bad...just poorly screen captured in those last shots. The character modeling looks good for PS2 standards, anyway.

Exactly. Although I'm wondering how the new Musashi game will turn out.

Oh, and Musashi isn't so much action as action/adventure. I'm thinking Square won't know what to do with a game that (from the looks of it) hinges a lot of fighting and little else.

Oh yeah - FF8 is an awful game. Now, the story I loathe (how girls could get all wet and dreamy over such a pompous character like Squall baffles me) but even if I give credit that some people dig the 'opera love story' it's still terrible. The gameplay is unbalanced to a point where I could really care less about things coming into the second disc.

True. But in this case, I think it's highly unlikely I'd consider II or III better than subsequent installments considering all I've read about them. Possible, though, yes. And indeed, as a nod to that microscopic possibility, I admitted, parenthetically, to not having played them.

I don't understand how people can like VII so much. I think it's the absolute worst of the series by a huge margin.

And VIII is better than most FFs by virtue of Triple Triad alone.

I guess you can argue that you like the junction system and Triple Triad, but don't even try to front and say that FFVIII had anything resembling a) a good story or b) good characters.

Played through the first four levels. Some overview so far:

It's like the team really, really, really wanted to copy to DMC, but in order to differentiate themselves decided to make the gunplay like RE4. However, a large part of the reason DMC's combat was because it had a lock-on - which this game does not - and part of the reason RE4's shooting was great was because of location damage - which this game does not (excluding specific parts of certain bosses). Because of that the hand-to-hand is incredibly clumsy as you can actually knock your opponent out of the way mid-combo, which can give them the opportunity to get up and start kicking Vincent's ass if he was in the middle of a flip kick. The gun elements actually work pretty well on their own but it feels a little half-assed being on top of a totally different combat engine and with no actual work on the player's part (if an enemy is inside the reticle it will auto lock-on, and if they're far away it's half a matter of gun parts and half a matter of luck if you hit them).

The graphics are good for a PS2, which is to say they're not good for any other system. Crappy environment textures, a framerate (or filter) which makes sure everything blurs so as to try and not make the textures look so bad, but the character models are great and the visual design (mostly) is pretty awesome. There are some huge glaring flaws in the characters, though, mostly notably the scientist introduced in stage 3. Apparently someone from the clothing school of FFX warped worlds and hopped into FFVII, giving us a beautiful one-eyed, one robot arm, female scientist that wears a white lab coat, a bikini, enourmous high heels, and a couple scraps of cloth draped over her bikini to give some semblence of "I was wearing a purple dress before a werewolf attacked me." Genius. I don't know where they think of this stuff.

As a side note, the bad guy soldiers are also pretty terrible. The major ones all look like Bloody Roar rejects, and in order to make sure that you can tell the difference between the male and female cannon fodder they make the females not only not wear pants (just underwear) but they give them glowing vaginas. Let me repeat that: Glowing vaginas. Go Square.

On the other hand, Vincent looks cool and Cait Sith is good as well as funny (if a bit out of place), they did a good job on Midgar and the CG movies are, of course, absolutely stunning. Shame they made the in-game graphics look so muddy for no good reason, and of course I saw no option for progressive scan. On the bright side it does at least support PLII (I saw nothing for digital, as expected).

The gameplay overall has a lot of good ideas, most of which is focused on his gun Cerebus. You can modify it into three variations which can be switched between on the fly, allowing for something like having a chaingun, shotgun, and pistol designs if you so desire. There's been a crapload of parts so far to really tweak the hell out of it altering range, weight (how fast you can run when your gun is drawn), speed, and damage and each of those can also be powered up even further in between levels in exchange for gil.

I'm also surprised at the level of camera control that's offered. In gun mode you can switch between over-the-shoulder ala RE4 or standard first-person, and can alter the up/down and left/right both in reversing as well as sensitivity with it being seperate for gun and hand-to-hand. Since I prefer my camera controls different for third-person then I do first this works out great for me, although I really wish you could pull the camera back in third-person since it's way too close for some of those fights (if someone comes up from certain directions you can't tell they're there).

So far it's pretty good game, nothing amazing but with a lot of good effort behind it. Basically, yeah, FFVII fans have nothing to worry about it and will eat this up like mad, for everyone else I'd say it's a good "B" so far.

So in summary, you can buy two Capcom games that do the same things better for about $50 total. I'm shocked.

Basically, yeah. DMC3 and RE4 are a lot better then this game. It's good but without the license wouldn't get nearly as much attention.

Yeah, the license is yet another negative. ;)

Thanks for the impressions. I knew this thing had come out and was wondering how it was.

Does Vincent have the means to change/transform into any of his other destructive aspects like in FF 7? Kind of like Dante's Devil Trigger?

Yeah, you can transform into his werewolf form to run around and whoop ass (I destroyed the fourth boss in a few seconds with it), but you lose your gun while you're in it and as far as I can tell you can only charge it by finding mystical no-reason glowing circles that litter the environment. It does look pretty sweet.

[edit] Oh yeah, also at the end of level four I think I just got the demon form, but I haven't touched stage 5 yet so I'm not sure.

Cool.

I take it you cant play as Yuffie or Cait Sith yet either?

On second thought, dumb question.Square probably didnt have time to incorporate different play mechanics for two drastically different characters in a game designed around Vincent.

I saw some talk on the GameFAQs boards about multiple character playstyles, but I think they were referring to multiplayer which I haven't touched yet.

I haven't played it, but I hear it supports kb/mouse.

Sounds like a mix of pretty good and really fucking awful, which is muuuuch better than what i thought it was going to be. I actually like the one-eyed... stuff scientist girl description. Thanks, MechDeus.

I must admit I'm incredibly tempted just to see what the hell it is. Standard deathmatch or something? Seems an odd addition regardless.

It's way better then I was expecting it to be, Squaresoft isn't exactly known for giving us excellent action games.

I tried to find a pic of the hysterical scientist but the only shot I came across was this terrible view of her fighting one of the Bloody Roar guys:

Imagine that outift paired with a white lab coat and large blue high heels, which is how she's appeared in all of the cutscenes so far.

The other thing I forgot to mention: hit points appear on-screen when you do damage just like they do in traditional FF games. Normally it's kinda nice because you can tell exactly how much damage your shots do and can tell when you score criticals, but it made for an unintentionally hilarious scene when a helicopter was gunning down some innocents while chasing them through an alley... and their hit point damage amounts kept popping up. Sorta ruined the whole feel.
