I really hope somebody develops modding tools for DMC1 and 2 to get all the nice models out. Merciless, Vendetta, the Missile Launcher... I wonder what it'd look like if Dante had Lucia's shortswords instead of A&R. I can imagine a wind and fire themed reskin of Zambak.

Getting models out of a game isn't the real problem, you can even do it without an importer with a ripper, that get them from memory in a standard and well known for this game's api format. But getting them back into the game is the real bitch, cause you gotta know a whole lot more about the format, than a vertex buffer location, which would be enough to get the pure mesh out with an importer.

I'd be happy if anybody managed to get data out of DMC1 and 2 reliably. I'm not ashamed to admit I spent many, many hours trying to find ways to open both games' files and extracted as many textures as possible with Game Graphic Studio, I even bought the fucking thing but this software is clearly meant for general purpose and the compression method used in both games is unique, even though DMC2 has AFS format files, they're not identical to DMC3's and extracting any data at all was extremely limited. Half the textures I was able to find are... well, they're not glitched on their own, but the viewer can't read the colors correctly. It's fortunate that most of Dante's texturemaps aren't affected, was even able to get Lucia's and Trish's textures (as well as their respective DT and alt costume textures) but I couldn't get i.e. some boss enemy or a weapon because the colors were all wrong.

Knowing how old these games are, we'd be better off remaking those models ourselves. :D

I’m gonna agree with you there. The original game is from 2001 and the second from 2003. I really doubt the models are very good.

They're no worse than DMC3's and who'd be willing to remake anything from DMC1 or 2 at this point?

You have a point, Alex. I wouldn't really bother remaking stuff. Especially character or enemy models.

That’s fair. I agree with two before about the models probably not being great though. But I really doubt that anyone would wanna remake anything from the old games as well.

I strongly disagree. The models in DMC2 are excellent and though texturing isn't the best, it's pretty good for a PS2 game.

Are you genuinely meaning to tell me that none of those models look good?
