Devil May Cry 2 Question
What happened to Dante in Devil May Cry 2?
So, we all know that Dante is this wise-cracking character that can shrug off a bullet or sword through his chest with little to no notion of (at least externally) pain. He can challenge demons without the slightest hint of sweat and he's damn near impervious to anything. It's what drew many of us to him.
But something happened with Dante's demeanor in DMC2.
In an interview with 1Up Kamiya (Genius behind the Devil May Cry series) explains how his game was taken away from him when Capcom approached him with a sequel to the seires he created.
"1UP: Were you hurt by that, or were you working on another project when Capcom came to you and said, "Hey, we're doing a sequel to DMC?"
HK: It was a pretty big shock, so what was happening at the time was we were finishing up the localization on Devil May Cry for other territories, like North America and other last minute details, when a planner from another group came down to talk to me and said, "Can you show me the scenario and design doc for the first game?" And I asked why, and he said, "Because I'm making the second one." I was thinking, "I can't make the second game? What's going on here?" I was almost afraid of getting fired.
Devil May Cry originally started out as Resident Evil 3, but it turned into DMC because it was so different, and we lost a year of development time. So I thought maybe I was screwing things up and that Capcom wanted to fire me, which would explain why I couldn't do DMC2, because the news came as such a surprise to me.
1UP: I'm amazed that Capcom wouldn't know to keep you on the series. I remember getting my hands on the first Devil May Cry at Capcom's Sunnyvale offices in California, and I was just blown away by it. It's still one of the best games on the PlayStation 2. It's surprising that they would fail to recognize where the talent was when green-lighting the sequel.
HK: From a company perspective, I can imagine how they would think about it. From their perspective, they do
