GAME DEVIL MAY CRY 3 SERIES

There is nothing too intellectually troubling about any of this, but it is steeped in gung-ho rock and roll charisma and helped immensely by DanteвЂ™s series of wise-ass quips, which come thick and fast from the very first, pizza-chomping cutscene. Serving as a storyline prequel to the first Devil May Cry, the plot tells the tale of the dysfunctional relationship between Dante and his brother Vergil as they seek to expel a new threat within the demonic world, all based inside an enormous, arcane, Lovecraftian tower that suddenly erupts from the bowels of hell.

It speaks volumes that picking it up again evokes not only this warm nostalgia, but also the latter day works of PlatinumGames or Ninja Theory that were so obviously influenced by what occurs here. Lovers of fast paced, highly technical hack and slash titles have been spoiled in the subsequent generations since DanteвЂ™s Awakening arrived, but revisiting it today shows what a vital touchstone it is for the genre, and that it still plays like an absolute dream. But straight away Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition puts you all the way back in 2005, Hideaki ItsunoвЂ™s utter classic first dropped for PlayStation 2. The fact that anti-hero Dante puts his boot through the screen, leaving a pane of shattered glass certainly helps jog the memory.

I may have chosen a look more suitable to fighting if it had been up to me.You know full well that a game has forever buried itself into your consciousness when you get a warm pang of familiarity at the blood and gore warning that precedes the action. I came up with a number of other battle-oriented designs, but in the end, the uniform look was very important. (laughs) Then there's her white button-up shirt, which feels very fresh and clean. It's hard to say whether she custom-ordered them or made them herself. The hard pouches are wrapped around her waist and filled with gun magazines, but then they're decorated with a plaid pattern reminiscent of school uniforms.

The thing around her waist looks like a skirt at first glance, but it's actually made up of customized weaponry pouches. (laughs) All the time, the members of t.A.T.u were known for their uniform-style fashion, so we designed Lady's outfit to look like a uniform too. Japanese players just love school uniforms. She had to look like a capable fighter, but. (laughs) This is a woman who sets off to kill demons all by herself, so we equipped her with weaponry that can get the job done. 'The inspiration for Lady's image is the black-haired Julia Volkova of the Russian girl group t.A.T.u. but we appealed to the audience we were aiming for.'ДЄccording to character designer, Daigo Ikeno, Lady's school girl outfit was inspired by 'the black-haired Julia Volkova' of the duo t.A.T.u. Vergil's katana and sword-draw techniques were also nods to the Japanese fans we figured that most foreigners probably wouldn't understand that sleek, simple aesthetic. That was the thought process, so we buckled down and concentrated on making a game that would do well in Japan. Sure, we could have moved millions of units overseas and only tens of thousands in Japan, but focusing on the numbers like that and aiming for foreign sales would have been abandoning the Japanese fans who had supported us this whole time. We were happy to worry about the rest of the world later, because first and foremost, we - the creators - would have been in a bad place if the game wasn't a hit in Japan. The whole team agreed that 'DMC 3' was a game made for the Japanese. Because what the Japanese audience definitely didn't want was more blondes or swarthy girls. Trish was blonde and Lucia was a redhead, so this almost Scandinavian-looking European should definitely have black hair that's what the team decided on. All we knew from the start was that she'd have black hair. Her appearance was up in the air for much of development, so I ended up writing her without a clear visual in mind. Trish already felt older than Dante, and the Dante in 'DMC 3' is much younger, so it was decided that Lady should be slightly younger than Dante. The only way she'll be popular with the Japanese audience is if she looks like a high-schooler.' I had no choice, so I agreed to make the change. My original proposal was a cigarette-smoking demon hunter who could act like a mentor to Dante, but Itsuno-san's response was, 'No way. (laughs) But Itsuno-san said, 'No way.' (laughs) He wanted a character that would go over well with the Japanese audience. 'We originally planned to have her be older than Dante that's how I would have liked it. However, Hideaki Itsuno rejected the idea in favor of an idea that would resonate with Japanese audiences. According to the game's writer, Bingo Morihashi, Lady was originally envisioned as an older seasoned demon hunter.
