February 26th, 2008Devil May Cry 4: Here’s One for the Ladies
Front, a British “proper gents’ mag,” has posted some pictures from the new Devil May Cry 4.
I know that Nero and Dante are considered effeminate by some gamers, but I had no idea they were this, er, curvacious.
In case you’re not familiar with the game, this is obviously a slick marketing ploy (swapping out the actual characters for less-than-half-dressed women), and it appears to have worked, because I’ve seen this on quite a few gaming blogs this morning. From the comments on Kotaku, you’d think some of these gamers had never seen a beautiful woman in a bikini before. (Oh, wait.) I can’t wait to see what the girls at Lesbian Gamers have to say!
I was going to suggest that we see the reverse treatment with, oh, say, Tomb Raider. We do already have Nathan Drake, but not in a bikini and cape. Wait, strike that idea.
I finally downloaded the DMC4 demo and played for a few minutes. I am afraid that this will be another Oblivion. In a good way. In case you don’t see us for a while, you’ll know what happened.
