The gaming industry moves fast. The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 original style consoles are old to us gamers now. It’s all about the new style 250GB Xbox 360, and the super slim Playstation 3. However it would seem that the next generation of these consoles will be with us as late as 2014. But is this too early?
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.
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
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
While I still am impressed time and time again with what developers are able to accomplish with the aging tech of the Xbox 360 and PS3, I do feel it's time for an upgrade.
While the Wii U introduced some new and exciting features, People are still wanting that extra boost in power to be able to play grander games. It's not so much that the graphics will be that much better, although native 1080p/60fps would be much appreciated. But the increase in power will allow for larger scale games with bigger environments, more physics being handled and better effects and lighting.
However, since the Wii U does not double or triple the power of the existing consoles, an argument can be made by the manufacturers that there is no real rush to get the next gen machines out. Since the games that the 360 and PS3 will put out can be comparable to what the Wii U will be able to handle, They can make the argument that now is not the time.
I am still sure we will see at least one of the consoles by early 2014 at the latest. More likely 2013 holiday season.
It's time for new consoles PS3/360 have been on the market for over 6 years
I rather have them released later these year ., maybe December., and give Ps3 and XBOX 360 their last year. Sony should focus on marketing their Vita 1st at the start of these Year., At around of that Time. (Dec 2013), People already have their budget to own 1 of these 2 powerful machines.
I'm sure if we were still using Atari 2600's there'd still be the same "is it too early" blogs!

Agreed PS4 for release Dec 2013...but IMO Sony shouldn't waste too much resources on Vita individually, but should instead market both PS3/Vita cross play functionality to counter the Wii U casual market.
With the PS4 looming and PS3 still relevant...I can't see how Sony can afford what you're suggesting.
Sadly, Vita missed the boat...Sony should have marketed the hell out of this powerful device day one, instead of this 'Damage Limitation' system they have in place. It's still too early to call the Vita's fate, but it stinks of PSP failures to capture significant third party support.
Many will probably disagree, but I always thought after PSP, Sony should have left the portable market and concentrated on making the PlayStation games catalogue available to as many devices as possible. Given that tablets/smart phones have now exceeded or at least on par with Vita technically....
Vita was very short sighted of Sony....
