I am now imagining a sitcom where classic video game protagonists live alongside their reinvented current generation versions.

Shenanigans will most certainly ensue.

I want to see the new Sam Fisher piss himself in abject terror when his old self so much as asks for him to pass the remote in Michael Ironside's awesomely terrifying voice.

There was a comic about that, although I can't find it anymore. Basically, the gist of it is that the new Lara and Dante hook up while old drunk Lara whines to old drunk Dante about how terrible it is.

If those Raiden's start fighting it's gong to make a mess.

Am I being slow? I didn't really get the joke this time. All I saw was a bunch of character who've been reinvented or rebooted, except all they're doing is standing around.

DVS BSTrD:
New Era Dante doesn't look NEARLY smug enough.

I still don't get it.

"These characters have been rebooted!" was the joke?

People meeting their rebooted selves...and? I feel like we got build up with no punchline.

And is it me or is the new Lara going through a bit of A-cup angst?

Meh, not the finest strip in any shape or form but nicely drawn I guess.

You mean like the TMNT movie with the new turtles meeting the 80's cartoon turtles? I can only hope the VG sitcom could be as good.

TheKasp:
I like the visual implication that both Dantes would get along quite nice.

I'm betting they would. When it comes down to it, they both respect skill in combat.

Because you are a/n: Inexperienced player
Mentally challenged
Overweight
Unappealing to look at
Offspring who's mother has slept with everyone on the internet
Homosexual
etc

Yeah, I get the references, but it wasn't that good. Still love the comic :P

Not all webcomic pages have to have a joke. Sometimes it's hard to come up with humor. Others it's the authors choice to simply make a comment or pose a hypothetical. In this case: How would each character react to their respective 'rebooted' self.

Aaaah, I see. Without any dialogue or sense of motion, that really didn't come across, since there was no way to tell whether they were reacting to one another or just hanging out as they would on any given day. Thanks for the explain.

Ha, see, it wasn't just me! Take heed, all of you! I AM NOT ALONE!

...I should probably calm down a bit. Go and lie down maybe.

Depends if you're one of those guys who sees 'not playing every single game ever' as inexperience
Yes

Not sure how I could be an 'etc'. Specify further!

And others have been political commentary that have sparked huge debates on the forums. I didn't find this one to be overly funny but rather a remark on the HD remake/reboot trend that is now prevalent in video games now. It's like we've run out of good ideas so we keep re-inventing the old.

How awkward. I'd hate to be caught in the middle of that.

I thought it looked more like new Dante telling a story about how he's a badass, and old Dante's reply is: "is that all?"

captcha: "face the music", relevant to DMC fans, but have we given up on the new Tomb Raider yet? I know Raiden fans have nothing to worry about.

I saw it more as new Dante being excessively serious (and edgy?) about something, and old Dante being like "Dude, just chill out and eat some pizza."
But that's just me. No idea what Cory had in mind.

If you watch closly to between Old Raiden's legs, you can actually see the line of his vagina.

Personally, I always found it hilarious how DMC fans ignore DMC 1, DMC 2, and DMC 4, existed and use DMC 3 as proof that Dante was always cool..... yeah... -_-

THE best Dante from Devil May Cry, was from the animated series by far. DMC3 dante is a douche bag compared to him.

It's weird actually. Instead of moving forward, we move sideways through all the different parrallel worlds, where everything is the same but different, and Spock has a beard.

I don't think the gag was very well presented. I imagine a better joke could be made out of how the older characters act like fussy parents to their remakes, whilst the remakes act like teenagers who are embarrassed to be around their parents.

Also, no old and new sonic?

I think the idea is that it's awkward they have been replaced...

Yeah, I guess. I think I just misunderstood - I went into this expecting a joke, so after scanning the panel a few times and not spotting the funny part I wondered what I was missing.

Moonlight Butterfly:
I'd be jealous of new Lara's round boobs if I was old TR1 pointy polygon Lara too...

I'd think she'd have preferred the pointy ones. If all else fails and she runs out of ammo, she could at least try to stab people with them.

Copper Zen:
Didn't recognize the ninjas in the center. Not Snake Eyes from GI Joe (don't ask)...so who was it?

Raiden. Not the lightning god from Mortal Kombat, the cyborg ninja from Metal Gear Solid 2 & MGS: Revengeance (seriously).

except for raiden the reboots aren't too bad looking
