Combos, soul-sucking, devils who might shed a tear – it's just another day in the life of Nero, your neighborly demon-slaughtering anti-hero. He's new with a similar arsenal of weapons, combos, and single-hit attacks as Dante had before, plus new ways of inflicting pain on the world's second most gruesome creatures. (The first most gruesome are found in Resident Evil and Silent Hill.)
Devil May Cry 4's mechanics appear to be the same as the last time we saw Dante with the addition of a user-controlled camera system. By pushing the right analog stick, players will be able to adjust the view on-the-fly, just as they did in the creepy and remarkable Dead Rising.
Note: while this is a good preview, the author incorrectly refers to the new DMC4 lead "Nero" as the old "Dante". This has been edited here for clarification.
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."
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

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
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
Two Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam. As shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Wario64, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4 are no longer available to purchase.
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.
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.
Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?
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.
i dunno i'm on the fence on this one, compared to the god of wars and heavenly swords of today
seems a bit old. maybe its time to retire this franchise
u know the saying dont judge a book by its cover;) so far it has gotten posotive previews they all say the same thing once u pick up the game and play it its massive fun and anyways i like a good story in a game and thats wat dmc4 is gone have im sure;)
But ever sense Dante left and became a supporting character in the 4 installment. I think the series is gonna go down hill from here.
and FLAME BROILED Playstation 3 now thats a authentic product to play Devil May Cry with don't ya think Sony Fans!!! :D
but I'm not as interested in this series now that I still can't figure out if Dante is in it and that it will be on 360 and PC. They really turned me off to it.
