Devil May Cry 5 Will Be the "Peak of Action Games," says Capcom

Hideaki Itsuno and Capcom producers have given us some more details about Devil May Cry 5. The game will have a focus on photo-realism, and the background music will change with combo attacks, as well as a few other teasers about the story.

[TheOptimist]

I am hoping it will. Bring the character action genre to it's roots. We are in dire need of Ninja Gaidens and Devil May Crys.

[CrimsonWing69]

Man, I wish there'd be a new Ninja Gaiden...

[naruga]

can at least include an original (optional at least) DMC4 skin for Nero and Dante ??/ i cant stand playing with hobo Dante and cretine Nero as they appear in DMC5 trailer

[PrinceVegeta]

I hope so too, but it needs to be a proper successor to NG 2 with the gore and difficulty and the combos. Something seriously lacking in NG 3.

[TimelessDbz]

NInja gaiden 2 for xbox 360 was the peak of action games IMO. The way the blood came out and the obliteration looked plus the depth behind every weapon was just spot on. Even the boss fights had a nice tempo.

[jeremyj2913]

I agree with all but the boss fights. They still had that annoying random invulnerability like the bosses in the first game. Made boss fights more cumbersome than they needed to be.

[mgszelda1]

We have had bayonetta, nier Automata and the rest of platinum games

[jeremyj2913]

I loved the hell out of Bayonetta but it just never got to a certain level for me. The combos being so floaty took a lot of getting used to. I don't usually like dial-a-combos but the fact that you could dodge and do uppercuts opened up options.

[TheOptimist]

I personally don't think modern platinum games except maybe Metal Gear Rising Revengeance come anywhere close to the depth of Ninja Gaiden and the older DMC games.

[jeremyj2913]

Diiiiiire need! I've had fun branching out to other genres but I really wanna go home. Where I grew up. Lol

[ShockUltraslash]

They are talking about mechanical depth and complexity.
If the creator of DMC4 and DMC3 really gets full budget to do his thing then this will be another masterpiece.

[jeremyj2913]

My only worry so far is that there was a leak saying that Nero and Dante play similarly to how they did in DMC4. I'm hoping that just means mechanics wise but since Nero had already been shown with the same combos...I'm kinda scared we'll have DMC3 Dante for the 3rd time.

[The_Hooligan]

In my opinion DMC3 is the best DMC game and also the best version of Dante. Let's see if they show some more in depth gameplay at Gamecom.

[AK91]

I believe it.

[saimcheeda]

By next year I will have waited 11 years for this. Should be a great game!

[Obelisk92]

It better be.

[DaFeelz]

It better be. Bayonetta is the current champ of its particular genre. Which is appropriate, considering the man who created Dante created Bayonetta. So, good luck beating the creator’s creation. And who knows what Bayonetta 3 has up its sleeve. I’ll say this, I’m interested.

[Hylian10]

Bayo 2 is the king of the genre imo, idk if this or Bayo 3 gonna top it.

[Segata]

I don't think they can beat out Platinum but I'm sure the game will be great and look forward to it!

[mgszelda1]

Too bad Bayonetta doesn't sell that great. It's a fun series

[spicelicka]

They didn't even release the second one on XB1 and PS4, that would've sold

[Shinox]

Fix your character designs first then talk

[SarcasticDuck]

It didn't started well since Nero has the exact same combos

[meka2611]

Man I really want them to stop using that pic; Dante looks like a jackass in it.

[FallenAngel1984]

Dante looks older here than he did in Devil May Cry 2, making me think Devil May Cry 5 takes place afterwards

[Shiken]

Yeah it is...

So far as I am sure you know. Kind of wierd way of going about it, but I think it is time we started moving forward in the timeline. We have enough backstory and lore to push things beyond 2, so ot should not be a problem. I think the issue with 2 was that it is by far the most bland and does not tie in well anywhere, so they just threw it at the end.

If they move forward, it would just be a solo adventure of Dante after he met Nero, and I am fine with that. It does not need to tie in directly except for maybe Lucia making a return appearance.

[Einhander1971]

Can’t wait!!

[MWH]

that thumbnail.

[NovusTerminus]

So if you cannot interrupt animations anymore, what becomes of jump canceling other advance play that requires starting an attack, enemy stepping out of it to launch another attack? Are those combos still going to work?

[Ctosa]

What you expect of the devs to say? i'ts gonna be crap ?

[JimBeans]

Capcom seems to be heading in a good direction. If the games are good, buy that shit.

[Chaoeron]

People still have hope for this shitshow? This is almost DmC tier.

[BenRC01]

In other news, ford say "we make the best cars!"

[Platformgamer]

ok i believe you
