On February 17, Devil May Cry 3 turned 15 years old. It's a milestone anniversary for DMC3, which was the series' last outing on the PlayStation 2 and is still widely hailed as Dante's best adventure yet. While Hideki Kamiya, now of PlatinumGames, created Devil May Cry and gave a strong foundation for its slick action, DMC3 was the first title that director Hideaki Itsuno supervised start-to-finish. Ultimately, the clarity of his team's vision practically redefined the series.
The big anniversary isn't the only reason why it's worth looking back on DMC3 now. After several years of near-silence, fans have been in something of a Devil May Cry renaissance of late: Capcom's releasing a revamped version of DMC3's Special Edition for the Nintendo Switch later this week, and last year's debut of DMC5 saw Capcom and Itsuno breathe new life into the mainline series.
Capcom's Matt Walker, producer on both DMC5 and DMC3: Special Edition for the Switch, graciously answered some questions about DMC3's legacy, the Switch port's new co-op and combat switching features, and what Devil May Cry fans should keep an eye out for in the future.
The developer of Garry's Mod has announced it is in the process of removing all Nintendo-related content from Steam Workshop after receiving a takedown request from Nintendo.
Remedy has made a couple of changes to its core management team with the goal to grow Alan Wake and Control into larger franchises.
Changes like not being anti consumer? putting out Alan Wake Remastered on disc but not the sequel?
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
One of the best in the series. I still praise this game as I had the most fun playing this entry than all the rest.
Bit odd big talk years later after the fact.
It's a Capcom game ,don't underestimate them.
Well I am glad it was a hit then. I love all 5 of the mainline DMC games to death!
(save for maybe 2...)
Yeah I’m amazed the same development team that made the abomination that made 2 were somehow able to make a genre defining game like DMC3.
