Sometime last week, Capcom has confirmed the long-time rumor which has been going around, saying that the supposed Sony exclusive Devil May Cry 4 was going multiplatform. This was of course followed by a lot of varied reactions and even some Dante-must-stay-with-Sony movements which resulted in an online petition to keep the franchise exclusive.
Well, with all the clamor that we have been hearing from fans, someone from Capcom has finally braved the hordes, and spoke about the company's stand in this decision. That brave man was no other than Christian Svensson, Capcom's senior Director of Strategic Planning & Research. His brief statement is as follows:
"We are certainly moved that people are so passionate about our products that they would go to such extremes. At the same time we feel that allowing more people access to our content pleases far more people than it displeases (after all, we're not denying DMC4 to anyone that was already going to get it). It really is the best decision for the company and for consumers."
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.

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.
yeah he summed everything up very quickly, in particular I think this says it all:
"At the same time we feel that allowing more people access to our content pleases far more people than it displeases"
-lol, in other words we're going to make far more money from the 360 sales than we are going to lose on the "few" PS3 sales from those who "actually" won't buy it now that its on the 360 also. -smart, and honestly I think most of those who signed the petition like the game too much not to buy it, and I think he's aware of that also, hmmm....I guess thats why he's Capcom's senior Director of Strategic Planning & Research.
some people are just sad. I bet Juevani and Achira sighned that petition.
This moves shows just how lame Sony fans can get. where was the petitition by Xbox fans to Team Ninja when Ninja Gaiden went to PS3? and sigma is exclusive to PS3! 360 doesnt get it!
(right now as I speak some sneaky sony fan is making that petition to Team Ninja)
He's completely right. Some people are just crazy.
If fair is fair? where is dead rising or lost planet?
if its not just about money. rmember this game was supposedly in development for ages for the ps3. wheres the sixaxis features? where are the massive amount of game date that the blu ray could provide?,,, ok take that all away. why does it look like a better DMC3?
answer cause capcom knew it was going multi forvere now. we just found out.
Id like to say also, DMC is my favorite game on any system. im not upset 360 owners will finally get great gameing goodness..(lol joke). im mad capcom has and will IMO deliver a bare bones mid developed game instead of something that could of be system specific. ps3 or xbox360 system specific. it doesnt look like a spectacular game no matter whch system its on...im very saddened by that
