They've come close with Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West; might Ninja Theory finally deliver an elite 9+ game?
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.
I sure hope so, this Dev is actually very good. I loved Heavenly Sword and Especially Loved Enslaved! the game was just... too...... awesome.
I have faith in them to pull out a good game. I've always been a fan of Devil May Cry and i think it's in good hands.
We'll have to wait and see till a demo or proper gameplay demonstrations comes out. Ever since Capcom changed its mind about how the game will the orgin of the original DMCs to it now having absolutely nothing to do with previous DMC, the game just seems like a big whatever now. Just an action adventure game borrowing things from the original series.
As a DMC fan, I think that what they have shown so far has not been very convincing. Sure they showed a flashy trailer with lot's of areal combat similar to how Nero players, but it's actual gameplay that I have to see, since trailers can easily be manipulated to make the game look like something it's not. They however are somewhat doing a good job building up this new Dante's character, but the games' selling point will be the combat, which they aren't directly showing us yet.
...Nope. and "IF" they did it be sad considering its not even under their own merit Capcom has said they helped alot so lol its a loose loose.
plus im one of those fanboys who will not buy so if all the copies were blown up I would also be fine with that.
especially after all the mixed messages its founder has been spewing in PR. but, i'm ready to be surprised/disappointed/wrong.. .
Messing with an established franchise will always garner some attention, good or bad. I know one thing true fans and apologist can agree on , it's that Ninja Theory won't soon be forgotten. If Capcom REALLY wanted to give Dante a new twist and dev, Team Ninja would have been the best choice for a multi-plat release, Santa Monica obviously for ps3 exclusivity, and a loss when it come to a competent dev on 360.
