(It doesn't help that DMC 4 had a very rushed development leading to the now infamous case of Dante's playable chapters just being Nero's but backwards)

The cost of game development had also shot up in the new console generation, making Capcom more concerned about DMC4's sales just being fine, especially coming off of huge sales juggarnauts from 2007 such as Halo 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Bioshock. They were hoping that now that DMC was on a wider range of platforms that the sales would correspondingly go up, but instead the game just saw a modest increase over DMC 3. DMC 4 would sell two million units in under a month, but Capcom were a bit unimpressed. With DMC 4's release in 2008, Capcom set the sales expectation that the game would sell 1.8 million units by the end of the fiscal year.

From here several core traits are instilled: chief among which being style meters that track the player's skill with combos and Dante having a style system that lets him use different movesets.Īnd it's in 2008 with the release of Devil May Cry 4, marking the series going multiplatform for the first time as it came out on the PS3 and Xbox 360, that this story really begins: Itsuno, not wanting his reputation to be sullied, came back in 2005 with Devil May Cry 3, generally considered one of the greatest action games of all time. In less than six months, Itsuno would rally the team, basically make the entire game, and create several features that would go on to become series staples, and while DMC 2 sold well, it was critically panned for being a very boring game. With less than half a year before DMC 2's 2003 release, Capcom brought in a new director to course-correct and get the game out for release: Hideaki Itsuno. Instead, a still-to-this-day unknown phantom director was put in charge of the game and he ran it into the ground. Kamiya would involuntarily leave the series after DMC 1 as Capcom didn't ask him to work on DMC 2.

Rather than scrap the build, Capcom saw potential in the idea of a stylish action game, and gave director Hideki Kamiya permission to make it a full title. The game series began as a prototype build for Resident Evil 4 that had more of an overt action focus than the acclaimed horror franchise was known for. I just take it as a reboot or Dante and Vergil in another universe.ĭevil May Cry is an action series developed and published by Japanese company Capcom, beginning with Devil May Cry 1 in 2001 for the Playstation 2 ( Here's an advert showing it as part of Sony's holiday lineup that included landmark gaming titles such as Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto 3, Metal Gear Solid 2 and. I think it is still a good Devil may Cry game. Some people said that it is a great game if it is not called Devil May Cry, but I disagree.

I am wondering what the story of a sequel will be. But somehow, I am interested in their story. I'm just glad that the game did not get review bombs by hardcore fans of the series, or at least that is what I observed.Ĭharacter wise, I find Dante and Vergil less badass than the Dante and Vergil from the 5 games. I hoped that at some point, Vergil will meet Sparda, wherever he is banished (in hell or some other place?) I hoped for a bit longer Vergil's Downfall story (or at least had boss fights against Hollow Kat and Hollow Dante). I was actually hoping for a sequel of DmC.

It is easier to play in PC thanks to the free camera movement with the mouse, but I enjoy playing it with a controller. I recently bought it weeks ago from Steam since it was on sale and I have some extra funds. I get it as a noob friendly game due to the gameplay since I suck at the other DMC games but still played them anyway for the story. For the record, I prefer Dante and Vergil from the other DMC Games (1-5) in everything - characterization, style, more badass, etc.īut the first time I played DmC years back when it was released, I actually enjoyed it.
