[edit] Gameplay image

The new one is good because it displays a HUD and so on, but it's not from a final build of the game. It doesn't accurately portray gameplay. --Boradis 01:38, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah it has been kind of a pain finding those without a Gamespot or IGN logo, I will look for one tonight. -凶 23:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

How's this? Image:PokeyPwnsVergil0000.png Quality is a bit crap I know, but Pokey was the one recording at such low quality... --Warp L. Obscura 15:46, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

It's ok. -凶 20:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaced, then. If anyone wants to improve on it by getting a similar capture in better quality, please do so. --Warp L. Obscura 10:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Allusions in the DMC series

I haven't visited this article for months, and I'm glad to see that it has been greatly improved. Now I found a little strange that a section titled "Allusions in the Devil May Cry series" was completely removed. I think that this is the sort of information that is worthy to be present in the article.

The story alludes to The Divine Comedy in the game's areas (roughly resembling and representing inferno, purgatorio, and paradiso) as well as in some of the character names; however it is purely an aesthetic similarity, and indeed the game borrows from a very wide range of sources for inspiration.

Regards, --devil_may_care ^flag 16:27, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

It was removed, IIRC, because of the issues with WP:SYNTH it created. Though the allusions are there, it's a lot harder to include them in the article without reliable sources. Cheers, Lanky ○ Yell ○ 18:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Development

Do we need any more on it? I found this article that has Tanaka talking about the potential for the "conflict" between Dante and Virgil (sic) and the need to place it before DMC1, but I am not sure if it is relevant enough. --Warp L. Obscura 01:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

Please see the following image, and give your ideas about inserting something like this in the bottom of the article:

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition shows Vergil/Dante entering the demonic world through a door that resembles the door of Kaaba, thus arising criticisms among muslims^[1], and giving rise to several speculations about Capcom being racist^[2].

Sadeq 03:41, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:OR, WP:RS, WP:V, WP:NPOV you make the choice, there you have at least four reasons not to include this on a Featured Article. - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:47, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I think the expression might be changed, but it is a fact proven by the picture. In fact, it is not an "Original Research," because I searched the net and found many others sharing the same idea with me. Also, one can trust his eyes as a "Reliable" source for this. It is by no means "verifiable," but can be called a "conjecture." Search the net for 'Capcom' and 'racism' to see how many people have the same idea. And finally, I think I'm a neutral person. I 'love' Capcom's games, specially the RE series. So, why am I adding something 'against' them? Because I think it's a valuable 'fact'

As a final point, I don't want to force this into the article. I think we need to wait and see what's the idea of other people on this. Sadeq 20:11, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Its still original research, but the worst problem is that there aren't any reliable sources. - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DanteFightingDemons.png

Image:DanteFightingDemons.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] "See also"

Man, I don't even want to know how long that piece of OR has been there. We on the DMC Task Force fought a long battle against stuff like that, and it's disturbing to see it creeping back and not getting caught by us! Thanks, uh, "Turd the Borg" for removing it. But, er, yeah, you should change that username. -- Boradis (talk) 13:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I see those "see alsos" have been there since before this and the DMC1 page were FA. But considering the rest of the OR that was culled was equally "obvious" and uncited, but more importantly the fact we do NOT have a cite saying that Kamiya used the Divine Comedy as inspiration (thought it is indeed rather apparent) should they stay? I come down on the side of "no." --Boradis (talk) 13:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

The article doesn't have a picture on the gameplay, so wouldn't it be better to remove one plot image and replace it with a gameplay image? --Mika1h (talk) 19:39, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
