I'm playing DMC 2 because I want to play some old crazy games again. I notice how unlike it is other DMC games as it doesn't have a very classical european environment. What I do notice are two things is:
1. It looks A LOT like Dragon's Dogma in places. The textures and enemies and atmosphere absolutely reek of Dragon's Dogma from years before!
2.It seems like they're trying to do a Hellboy game. This makes sense because Hellboy was pretty big in 2002. It's slow, Dante doesn't say much, little gremlin type things appear out of nowhere, GORILLAS. It's dark, the south american towns have the same look at mignola buildings.
Did anyone else pick up any of this? Any other games you know look like some other game? The Dragon's Dogma thing makes sense because Itsuna who produces/directs DMC was pitching Dragon's Dogma before he was put on the DMC project because Clover was formed. So he put a lot of his designs in the game because he wasn't happy he didn't get to make his dream game.
Kamiya's dream game wasn't made because Scalebound was butchered and canceled by Microsoft for some reason. So since we couldn't see Scalebound we don't know if Kamiya put stuff from his dreams in his earlier games he takes a lot of responsibility for.
