Hideaki Itsuno admits that Devil May Cry 4's latter half re-used levels due to budget restrictions

This really killed the whole game. It was an awesome experience until you go to this part.

Dmc4 had the best engine . Plays the best out of the series .

[Traecy]

Basically because it was designed on the consoles (PS3/XB360) when the first 3 DMC were on the PS2.

[Flewid638]

Yeah. I liked DMC as well, but not until the Definitive Edition when it ran at 60. DMC4 was already doing that. Dope series.

[MoshA]

Devil May Cry 1 and DmC are still the only good entries in the franchise. The new one took a lot of inspiration from DmC so I have high hopes for it. Wish it came out on one platform at a time though.

[Snakeeater25]

Dmc was a emo piece of crap, one of the worst game capcom has ever made

[KyRo]

It was a good game. Its just weren't Devil May Cry. The same goes for RE5, it was a good game but it weren't resident evil. Both may of not had the outcome or reception that Capcom wanted but at least they tried to do something different.

[Larrysweet]

No it wasnt was amazing sure u never tried it

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Lol yeah no like get serious

[HeisenbergX]

Yes it was except Capcom didn't make that DmC they only published it.

[Tapani]

I thought 3 was good, and 4 ok. First one was supposed to be the next Resident Evil but it ended up its own series, and that is why the second one ended up so bad. Remedied themselves on the third game nicely, had some good moments in it. I still like the first game's atmosphere and adventure-like feeling. You could search lot of the items and environments (similarly to RE series.)

[BlaqMagiq1]

DMC3 destroys both of those games. And DmC was just as bad as DMC2.

[Dark_Knightmare2]

Nice hyperbole

[BlaqMagiq1]

@Dark_Knightmare

Hyperbole? No. Just truth.

[FalconofLucis98]

cough cough DMC3, DMC4 and DMC1 are the only ones worth playing.

DMC4 plays the best though.

[pietro1212]

The second half of DMC4 was disappointing, but it's gameplay was second best right after DMC3. DMC3 >DmC> DMC4 >DMC1 >DMC2

[pietro1212]

You're wrong btw

[KwietStorm_BLM]

First time I've ever heard of anyone putting DmC above Devil May Cry 3.

[MoshA]

All the DMC games are nowhere near Bayonetta and God of War of course ;)

[Traecy]

Agreed though I liked DMC3 also.

[pietro1212]

MoshA
Nah. DMC3 tops the GoW series except for maybe GoW2018. The previous GoW entries don't come close to the DMC titles gameplay

[MoshA]

Yeah like when they place a wall to force you to fight because the combat is tedious af lmao! In GoW 3 you can skip most enemies but don't notice it. Also DMC breaks immersion in every chapter and Gow has no loading screens. Don't compare masterpieces to garbage.

[Donnie81]

That’s why it wasn’t as good as the others

[FallenAngel1984]

And the game was rushed

[Aaroncls7]

this was known

[FalconofLucis98]

This is old news.

[ReVibe]

All I hear is a giant die rolling around in my head.

[Acecalibur]

3 is my all time favorite, but really Capcom? Where all the Monster Hunter money go? Did the staff spend it on new Nissan GTRs?

[Razmiran]

4 came out before Monster Hunter became big worldwide

[ShockUltraslash]

DMC4 was during the dark age of Capcom when they put out Resi6.
And yes we knew the game was axed before it finished.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Literally the whole second half of the game was just a mirror but with Dante. It's always interesting looking at the disparity of Capcom's games when the budget comes into question.

[AK91]

I hope he doesn't run into the same problem with 5, where you redo the same levels Nero did but this time its with both V and Dante.

That being said I didn't mind redoing the same levels as much as other because I got to play is Dante the whole time and Dante is badass.

[Traecy]

One of my biggest gripes about DMC4.

[Godmars290]

Thank you early HD gen...

[jeremyj2913]

Thank the move to multiplatform.

[Flewid638]

Don't do that sh*t again.
