Twinfinite Writes: It's been a long time since we've seen a new entry in the Devil May Cry series. A new entry needs to come out pronto if it wants to capitalize on Capcom's success.
NInja Theory's DmC isn't as well loved as other Devil May Cry games, but 10 years after its release, does it hold up?
I didn't enjoy it much. I played it when it was available on Plus back in the day and I think the problem was that I viewed it as a bizarre take on Devil May Cry. As its own game, it's probably easier to like and appreciate, but I struggled to make that distinction. Even then, I really was not a fan of the weapons or cinematic 30fps for an action game. Dialogue was a bit too try hard for me too. Most of all, I really didn't like the controls.
There's something about Ninja Theory games where they look interesting, I give them a try, and they're not for me. Heavenly Sword, Enslaved, DmC, and even Hellblade (though I felt Hell blade was the best of them). If you guys enjoyed it, I'm happy for you and I wish I could too, honestly. I know a decent amount of people who at least liked it, but it really wasn't for me.
Ah well.
@Elda it's a disagree... if they didn't enjoy it, they downvote.
Why does everyone take downvoting as something personal. lol
I don't think the problem was weather or not it was bad
just like making resident evil actiony and not scary, not bad, just clearly not understanding your audience
I quite liked it actually.
Always wanted to get the PS4 version but never got around to it.
I enjoyed it. However, it’s the only Devil May Cry game I have ever fully played through.
Pretty much and I like to think with DMC5 out people can see how bad it was in comparison.
You don't even have to leap that far ahead. When I picked up the Definitive Edition (on sale), I was surprised to see some of the gameplay tweaks that weren't there for the DmC OG. Look at what DMC4 could pull at 60fps compared to DmC at 30fps. Still a stunning comparison on the base hardware.
I finished DmC, but did't feel compelled to play DMC5 for more than a couple of hours. DMC5 is still in my "I should try to finish it someday" list, but I kind of always forget it exists...
The Humble Capcom Summer 2022 Bundle just launched. It features games like Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry 5, Street Fighter V, and more.
Pratyush writes- "According to fans, the wait for the latest DMC installment was torturous; 11 years without a sequel to a game that not only defined a genre but even after all this time, stands atop every other game that it inspired or was inspired by. DMC5’s trailer sent every person who loved video games into a frenzy. More than a decade later, an icon of gaming was returning after being dragged through the mud *cough* DmC *cough*.
DMC5’s reveal trailer brought with it all the cheesiness that was popular in the early 2000s and felt gamey for all the right reasons. Add to that, the persistence of my colleagues that the DMC games (and Ninja Gaiden) were must play action titles and their sarcastic jabs at me for having only played the (shitty) reboot; I relented. Before the release of DMC5, I went back and completed DMC3 and 4, only missing out on DMC1 because it kept crashing on my system (and 2 because that was in a, uhhh “league” of its own)."
Dante had style for an @$$ kicker. That's what attracted me to the franchise. That first demo that came with the Code Veronica game was Gothic and Castlevania like walking down those hallways. It was amazing. And the attract video in-between made you want more.
As a fan of the series, buying the manga, buying the action figures, watching the anime, it turned me off with Tameem Antoniades of Ninja Theory saying Dante had no style and he knew what was better. That first pick of his "Dante"

showed me he didn't know what he was talking about. Especially with the fact that he needed to be redesigned from turning fans off to him. Besides the story being changed and the combat system being inferior to previous combat systems. Result: less sales. Capcom had to keep releasing it over and over or pair it with other DMC games in bundles to sell it. It under achieved.
Waiting for a DMC 5 with a more traditional Dante, is what fans like me wanted. It's like Jared Leto Joker.

Complete turn off. No one wanted that. And movie sales showed that for Suicide Squad. While the Joker in the latest movie is not a turn off. And made a billion plus. Jared feel alienated after the new Joker was green lit. But it was fans who were alienated from a character they liked that was a turn off. Harley Quinn was alright. But that's only because Margot Robbie is hella fine. You can see her sexiness thorough the makeup.
Glad Dante is back. The cool Dante.

Yes. Devil May Cry 2 was a step back and umm... Interesting. But was stylish. And that Japanese commercial is still awesome to this day.

FU Tameem Antoniades.
Wont happen, Capcom sold the rights to the series to some random mobile game studio
Personally I like DmC better than 4 by far. So I'd rather DmC2. Bring on the downvotes
Agreed Dmc is a great game, I have devil may cry 4 it was good but not amazing.
Wait for the reveal at E3
Not if it in the same style as DmC4, I love that game but the part where you play the game in reverse was complete BS.
