Mannnn, screw this dude and his overrated ass studio.

thatguyhayat2379d ago

If it wasnt for this dude* there wouldnt be a devil may cry, okami and bayonetta among others too. He is after all the king of hack and slash

roadkillers2379d ago

Just for reference this guys resume includes:

Resident Evil 1 - Planner (87.23%)
Resident Evil 2 - Director (93.13%)
Devil May Cry - Director (92.6%)
Resident Evil Zero - Game Design (84.18%)
Viewtiful Joe - Director (91.19%)
Viewtiful Joe 2 - Story (85.87%)
Okami - Director (92.65%)
Bayonetta - Story and Director (91.00%)
Wonderful 101 - Story and Director (78.02%)
Bayonetta 2 - Story and Director (91.38%)

Not to mention Scalebound was in development with this guy as the director before being trashed. Guy has been very consistent with the quality of his games excluding Wonderful 101 which some loved and some hated.

thatguyhayat2379d ago

Aah im such an idiot i left out wonderful 101. I was one of very few looking forward to scalebound

MrSwankSinatra2378d ago (Edited 2378d ago )

Yeah, anything after re zero i don't care about, those games are trash. Btw he never directed bayonetta 2 or viewtiful joe 2, so you're lying.

roadkillers2378d ago

He was Story for Viewtiful Joe 2 and from my understanding did Direct Bay 2.

Venoxn4g2378d ago

To be honest for me Wonderful 101 is one of the best Platinum's game

DMC4 was half done, then copy/pasted to make it into a full game. Thought that was common knowledge?

MrSwankSinatra2378d ago

Yeah, but that wasn't Hideki Itsuno's fault, he and his team were progressing through development fine, it wasn't until capcom decided to rush them, the gameplay alone is second to none, bayonetta doesn't even compare to DMC4 gameplay wise.

Featuring_Dante2378d ago

The only repeated levels are level 12 or 13 until 17. The game has 20 levels, how is this a half game exactly?
The combat system alone is worth a purchase in DMC4.

jeremyj29132378d ago

@MrSwankSinatra
It was actually pretty far in development, but when Capcom decided to go multiplatform due to the success of Lost Planet, pretty much everything was scrapped and they had to start over. That's why Nero was brought in to be a character that didn't have multiple games under his belt and would serve as a starting point for those new to the series. In other words, 360 owners that Capcom wanted to attract.

PhoenixUp2379d ago (Edited 2379d ago )

I still gotta hand it Hideaki Itsuno for redeeming himself with Devil May Cry 3 after the polarizing reception that is Devil May Cry 2.

Yes he was brought in to direct DMC2 only midway through its development so he's not entirely at fault with that end result, but many people still regard DMC3 as being even better than Hideki Kamiya's DMC1.

DMC4 was also a great title, but the development was rushed which clearly shows in the end product where playing as Dante meant you had to backtrack through the entire game. The Special Edition added Vergil, Lady, & Trish which were nice touches but that backtracking really hampers a nice experience.

ZombieKiller2379d ago

I agree, even though I started off at the very first Devil May Cry, I think it really picked up when 3 Hit. I absolutely love 3 everything about it. from Dante's fun-loving stupid Pizza eating attitude, to them having the mission number hidden in the cutscene.... not to mention him losing Vergil at the end brought a tear to my eye. Absolutely amazing series

mindtwang2379d ago

He's not wrong about the dice game.

Elda2379d ago

DMC 4 was a back tracking bore.

WeAreLegion2379d ago

Devil May Cry 3 is better than any game Kamiya has made. So, I don't think it's right for him to trash anything Itsuno does. I love Kamiya's stuff, but sit down.

JayRyu2379d ago

I love DMC3 story wise but game play is second to Beyonetta

mindtwang2379d ago

He complimented Devil May Cry 3, and didn't "trash" anything. Maybe you should sit down.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

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."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC8d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos8d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga8d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer8d ago

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

monkey6028d ago (Edited 8d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya8d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde8d ago

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

SeTTriP8d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls786d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark271d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan271d ago (Edited 271d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

darthv72271d ago

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits271d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid271d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar271d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
