It's great to hear the game is coming along so well. And yet another developer/publisher says that the PS3 and 360 have the same horse power, it's becoming the trend I guess. I guess that's a hint that both games will be identical.

Rythrine6544d ago

I'm still upset that there's no Vergil cameo to kinda, at least, get my hopes up that he didn't die at the end of DMC3. He deserves his own game imo. I'm still not digging Nero for some reason but at least you still get to play Dante so that's a plus. Can't wait to add this to my PS3 library.

IPlayGames6544d ago

Virgil died in the 1st DMC. DMC 3 was a prequel and he did have his own game DMC3 collectors or something like that (it was actually pretty good).

Rythrine6543d ago

Well its really hard to say that Vergil died in DMC1. I know Dante was against the Prince of Darkness in DMC1 and in the end of DMC3 they showed Vergil against the Prince but they didn't really show if Vergil did die. I'm just holding on for a little hope here because I really enjoyed playing Vergil. As for his own game, its just DMC3 but his side of the story. I want something like his own adventure, his own game, maybe a different storyline than Dante's.

toonbytes6544d ago

The whole thing can be summarized with this quote:

GameSpy: Is there any validity to the PS3/360 performance comparisons?

Kobayashi: I believe that the PS3 and the 360 are about the same level, they have the same specs. Leaving aside personal thoughts about each machine, I won't say that the PS3 or the 360 is above the other…It's about development, it's about the thing.

lVlemphizStylez6544d ago

is that honestly all you took away in that article?? Given how 80% of it was about DMC4??? Hmm, what did you read it for then???

SofaKingReetodded6544d ago

"it's all about meeting a minimum baseline".....WTF????

he's practically admitting that both consoles are getting a baseline PC port.

I think I'll pass on this one.

Daishi6543d ago

It's about time you realized that 90% of games are built and ported from PC's because of cost issues. And 100% of games are made using PC's. Why is that so surprising?

IPlayGames6544d ago

To many big titles coming to both consoles to pick this one up this year.

PS3:
HS
UT3
Drake

Xbox 360:
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Bio Shock

Thats not even the multi games like madden 08 and GTA IV.
Too much money but ill get it next year.

Kleptic6543d ago (Edited 6543d ago )

agreed...this game has not once shown me anything that great...it isn't doing a single thing that really stands out above this years ridiculous lineup for both systems...

only thing I am waiting for from Capcom is a sequel to Dead Rising...and RE5...they will be lucky if I even rent this...

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel175d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits75d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire9575d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq175d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter75d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name75d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

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."

VersusDMC437d ago

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

VersusDMC437d 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.

Exvalos436d ago

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

Cacabunga436d 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

Friendlygamer437d 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

monkey602437d ago (Edited 437d 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_Suzumiya437d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde437d 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

SeTTriP436d 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.

Aaroncls7514d 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.

Sephiroushin513d ago (Edited 513d 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.
