Devil May Cry 4 - 1UP's massive interview with key dev. team members

In the spirit of providing info-hungry Devil May Cry fans with all the Dantelicious manna you could drink, 1UP tracked down three of the key creative members of the Devil May Cry 4 development team -- namely producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi, director Hideaki Itsuno, and character designer Tatsuya Yoshikawa -- and tackled them in the hallway with a binder full of questions.

The result? Information a-go-go and a behind-the-scenes peek at the thought processes that went into DMC4's development. Ever wonder whether the new Devil May Cry 4 engine could or would be put to good use in a new Strider game? Or whether Capcom might ever develop a Lady May Cry video game? Read on to learn everything that's left to know about Devil May Cry 4.

Is all over the place with the seemingly obsession with the differences with this title.

Which is it?, the other day they said it was the same but the 360 version had screen tearing which were the only differences now its PS3 version is clearer despite them saying it was the same the other day besides the tearing.

Then they said the PS3 was better due to the DualShack then they said they both feel right and it just depends what you're used to.

Is the disc game different from the Demo?, not seeing what they're seeing.

If it wasn't for the Japanese gamer comparing the two disc versions of the game with the same results we've been seeing on this site you'd think the discs 1up has vs the discs the Japanese person has and the demo's we have would be different quality all together.

They have flip flopped on this game 3 times editing their opinions many times sence the first comments.

These guys are just after the ratings.

Not sure why people are disagreeing with Power of Green. Sure he is a flamboyant xbox fan, sure he doesn't make sense most of the time. But his comment is legit and poses some real concerns about 1ups credibility. I've despised 1up since day 1.

But just to add something about the installation issues every xbox fan has been crying about. Hate to say I told you so. MS botched it with the lack of a standard HDD. But..but.. teh PS3 has teh downloadzor. LOL. And please, please please please don't take this too seriously. It's just a uber fanboy comment, coming from a uber fanboy of all three consoles.

Sorry I just had to throw it in there.

Mwaan5955d ago

The differences are so minimal that it all comes down to personal preference. Whichever system you prefer is the best version for you. I'm picking up the 360 version because I prefer the xbox controller. Custom soundtrack and achievements are just icing on the cake. These debates/comparisons are irrelavent. Everyone already decided a long time ago which version they were going to get.

ceedubya95955d ago

Could you imagine if there really was a co-op version of Devil May Cry with Nero and Dante? It would probably be one of the best 2-player games ever imagined.

I can't wait until next week. Better go get some more practice on the demo....

INehalemEXI5955d ago (Edited 5955d ago )

Indeed.

I will order a pizza when I recieve my copy of DMC4. To help set the mood.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC32d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos31d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga31d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer32d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey60232d ago (Edited 32d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya32d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde32d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP32d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls7109d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.

Devil May Cry 4 - 15 Years of Nero

Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?

Knushwood Butt468d ago

Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.

Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.

5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.

chrisx468d ago

In DMC 5, it's 4 times you encounter the same bosses if you count the Vergil dlc lol

Knushwood Butt468d ago

Yeah, I'm only up to chapter 19 so the total count can only go up!

kevco33468d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt468d ago

I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?

FallenAngel1984468d ago

Nero will always stand the rest of time against Donte and Viola
