An eGamer journalist analyses the journey of Ninja Theory's DmC: Devil May Cry, and talks about the result of the title, and where it currently is. More specifically, things aren't looking good for Ninja Theory's reboot.
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
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.
Mmmmwahahaaa, Muhwaaaahaahaaaaaaaaa.
so many lame-uninformed-blinded-by-a-m isplaced-rage fanboys THIS IS NOT A REBOOT!!!! capcom allowed ninja theory to make their own take on the dmc series capcom said ages ago that we are still getting a dmc5 which they are working on. I bought this game yesterday and love it!(i am a hardcore dmc fan i've played them all)
Angered fans are going to vote with their wallet, and quite rightly they did just that.
Honestly, people make out like NT aren't at all to blame for DmC selling poorly, take the core fans out of the equation and there are still a heck of a lot of gamers out there that could have bought DmC but they simply chose not too.
If you're going to make unpopular changes, then you can't whine when you get undesired results. Capcom took a gamble with the franchise, ignored their core fans, and it currently looks like it's not paying off. They only have themselves to blame.
", they had the creative confidence to stick with what they made in the face of all adversity and pressure."
But they didn't
They changed Dantes facial look more in the final game and then they added the references to the Old Dante and unlock able costumes like Classic Dante with him having white hair
They we're s*** scared in my opinion
