Over the weekend, an alleged play tester for DmC decided to leak key details about DmC's ending, as well as the true nature of the 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."
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
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.
if this is true, for one thank god vergil doesnt trun into a dinosaur, because althoygh that would be funny, i just would lose all hope , but that ending is just a big fail.
While this seems more plausible than the dinosaur leak thing, it doesn't really go hand-in-hand with NT and Capcom's motivation for the reboot. The entire idea of the reboot was to be so far away from the original titles that it didn't interfere with the storylines of 1-4. This leak is a blatant contradiction of that, so much so that it seems absolutely ludicrous. I mean, like I said, Capcom has been stubborn in their claims that if they wanted to make another DMC number title they would have done it themselves as opposed to involving NT.
I dunno, I'm pretty skeptical about it. Isn't it always the super disgruntled employee of somewhere that posts these? So and so posted inside information about McDonalds, or the local movie theater. Most of the time it ends up being way over-exaggerated half-truth, other times its just blatantly fake.
We all knew Vergil would be a boss. He is, and always will be Dante's antagonist. I even assumed without these "leaks" that he would have more than his one form. Didn't he have multiples in the older games? I mean that's just taking an assumption and painting imaginative facts about the design. Im sure he'll end up with some terrifying demon wings- Ok, he's half demon. Your point?
As far as the clone scenario- Again. NT and Capcom have been all over separating the original franchise from this reboot. Why the hell would they overwork their PR just to do this nonsense in the end.
It's all way too fishy and circumstantial. Plus Capcom was quick to declare that other leak silly and false.
Even if this leak is real or fake, dont waste your money on that garbage game....
Buy DMC HD or something.
Haters gon' hate. That's all I'm going to say, and you can contextualise the meaning behind my comment however you wish.
I found interesting that Dave Cook mentioned Ikaruga, saying that people will understand after the play through.
Maybe this story is Mundus brainwashing Vergil to make him become Nelo Angelo, who knows...
Anyway I doubt the story will be even remotely good.
