The new Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Silent Hill and more are all being developed outside Japan. What does it mean for these beloved franchises?
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."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
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
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
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
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
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.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.

Western Developers make a JRPG.
That or I already missed one.
Am I the only one on here who wanted Luigi's Mansion 2 to get a console release, maybe for the Wii U.
I probably won't be buying any of these games except for Silent Hill and maybe RE:ORC, and that's only if it turns out to be a good game. The rest of these lost their appeal not necessarily because they aren't being developed in Japan, but because they're so far from what I expect from their respective series. The only exceptions would seem to be Luigi's Mansion and Silent Hill, although I really can't speak for Dead Rising or SEGA Rally since I've never played any of the games in those series.
Edit: Case in point on Silent Hill, and this was said at E3 too, they're not changing things to make it "modern" a la DmC, they're trying to make it similar to the earlier games in the series.
DMC is really disappointing, The more I see the more I don't like... Im not saying a reboot was a bad idea I just think the way they're going about is just not appealing to fans, Well at least me. as for Luigi's mansion 2 and Silent Hill Downpour I think they have great potential.
japanese developers make western like games all the time
