Yesterday Capcom aired a long livestream event from Nico Nico Chokaigi in Chiba, Near Tokyo, and as part of the rich program there was a whopping 25 minutes of gameplay of Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition.
Pratyush writes- "According to fans, the wait for the latest DMC installment was torturous; 11 years without a sequel to a game that not only defined a genre but even after all this time, stands atop every other game that it inspired or was inspired by. DMC5’s trailer sent every person who loved video games into a frenzy. More than a decade later, an icon of gaming was returning after being dragged through the mud *cough* DmC *cough*.
DMC5’s reveal trailer brought with it all the cheesiness that was popular in the early 2000s and felt gamey for all the right reasons. Add to that, the persistence of my colleagues that the DMC games (and Ninja Gaiden) were must play action titles and their sarcastic jabs at me for having only played the (shitty) reboot; I relented. Before the release of DMC5, I went back and completed DMC3 and 4, only missing out on DMC1 because it kept crashing on my system (and 2 because that was in a, uhhh “league” of its own)."
Dante had style for an @$$ kicker. That's what attracted me to the franchise. That first demo that came with the Code Veronica game was Gothic and Castlevania like walking down those hallways. It was amazing. And the attract video in-between made you want more.
As a fan of the series, buying the manga, buying the action figures, watching the anime, it turned me off with Tameem Antoniades of Ninja Theory saying Dante had no style and he knew what was better. That first pick of his "Dante"

showed me he didn't know what he was talking about. Especially with the fact that he needed to be redesigned from turning fans off to him. Besides the story being changed and the combat system being inferior to previous combat systems. Result: less sales. Capcom had to keep releasing it over and over or pair it with other DMC games in bundles to sell it. It under achieved.
Waiting for a DMC 5 with a more traditional Dante, is what fans like me wanted. It's like Jared Leto Joker.

Complete turn off. No one wanted that. And movie sales showed that for Suicide Squad. While the Joker in the latest movie is not a turn off. And made a billion plus. Jared feel alienated after the new Joker was green lit. But it was fans who were alienated from a character they liked that was a turn off. Harley Quinn was alright. But that's only because Margot Robbie is hella fine. You can see her sexiness thorough the makeup.
Glad Dante is back. The cool Dante.

Yes. Devil May Cry 2 was a step back and umm... Interesting. But was stylish. And that Japanese commercial is still awesome to this day.

FU Tameem Antoniades.
Every month Microsoft adds new games to their Xbox Game Pass service but at the same time there are games that leave the service as well. In fact there will be a total of 5 games leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of June.
why i still dont think its a good idea to get a game pass just why?
it would be great if they let players choose what to keep with a timer sort of thing.
I mean Game Pass isn't for people who want to own games. It's for people who want to dive in an play what's on offer. Most games stick around in the catalog well long enough to give you enough time to finish them.
all Microsoft games are there to stay, its almost worth it just for that, but you also get discounts on dlc which is awesome, so if you are getting gems or something for a multiplayer game to spend in the game store you get a discount on those too.
The 5 games coming are always better than the 5 games leaving with the time criteria. New releases, over several year old games.
I have Game Pass for the MS exclusives personally, as I would not want to pay full price for them otherwise. So it still have value, and is one really good thing MS has done this generation.
Also, if you REALLY like a game, you can purchase to own it at a massive discount.
Personally, I use GamePass to try out games to see if I want to buy them on the PS4.
well they do have a section on gamepass with games that will be leaving that month in case you want to play them before they're gone...if you want to keep a game from gamepass they do let you buy it with a discount...most games stay in there for a fairly long time, some for a year or more...the smart way to use gamepass is simply by looking at the price of a game...if you plan to play the game and you think it's going to take you over a month to finish, if the price is less than $10 then just go ahead and buy it before the subscription ends. even if they take it out of gamepass you will still be able to play it after that.
If you want to keep something on Game Pass, support the developer and purchase the game. The Store usually has a discount as well
It says 1 hour ago, there's no way for me to know if we were typing at the same time or not...
Actually @optimus you didn't just say that. you didn't mention supporting the developers at all. Your verbiage was a run-on paragraph that people tend not to read.
And if people reply with similar things just agree with them and leave it at that. Why do you have to make it seem like some kind of contest?
You know if people reply with similar things just agree with them. You don't have to make it seem like some kind of contest, Right?
@killbill.... i didn't say "support the developers"? really? that's the big difference to you?🙄.... as if that's going to be the defacto argument to pursuade anyone into buying a game. get real...
do people decide to buy their clothes contemplating on whether they should support the designers? do people buy their food and think to themselves " I'll do it to support farners" and not because i'm actually hungry...
you kids sound ridiculous whenever you say dumb things like that because it's redundant. just like repeating something that was already said...hell, even n4g administrative thinks so since they don't allow "duplicate" articles to be submitted. (even though they tend not to enforce that)....
the truth of the matter is, kids just like to feel "smart" by repeating or copying things instead of actually doing a little reading for thenselves...hence why we have so many school dropouts every year.🙄...supporting the developers.😄
Dude, really? It's a single comment, not a statement on... Childhood dropout rates?
Do the math buddy... Outright 100 games is how much? and how much is gane pass?
But yeah options. Some dont get what it means.
Right now there are two (Exodus & Wolf2) games in the PC GamePass I would otherwise have bought for $25-$45 each and sold back after playing them. As long as they can keep these new desirable games cycling in at that place I'll keep paying because it's saving me $$. Like when Gears or Halo come out I can play through their single player campaigns in a month or so and effectively end up paying $10 / game? That's a good deal
Just picked up Metro Exodus from game pass. I got 2 years of Game Pass Ultimate for $2. Exodus alone is anywhere from $30-45.

I still don't know how the devs make money on Gamepass. Do they get paid by MS for a period of time and then out (or extended)?
That's a good question. I'm sure one of the business experts can answer that for you. I would love to see that explanation especially since they are literally giving this away for $1 for months.
They are most likely getting paid a fixed amount of money by Microsoft to be on Game Pass for a certain amount of time. Pretty much the same way PS+ and GWG are handled.
...or you you can buy any game you want before the deal ends (ooops Optimus dude i'm sorry man no no noooooo)
People were dealt quite a blow at the end of April 2019. Matt Walker, one of the Devil May Cry 5 producers, said that development on the game ended. While data mining had hinted at another playable character, his statements meant things were done. No Lady, Trish, or Vergil for people who were hoping they would come to the game. (At least fans always have the Bloody Palace.) So, while gamers mourn and come to terms with that, let’s celebrate a game that, well, actually did give us all three of those people as playable characters. Let’s talk about Devil May Cry 4.
Were people really wanting a special edition of devil may cry 4? It wasn't a bad game but unless this is part of collection (already done too) then why are they doing this?
Welp, maybe someone that has never played this game will enjoy it that much more...There's nothing wrong with that.
BTW, does it run at 60fps?
Cant wait,gonna have a lot of fun with vergil.
