Wired News got the chance to sit down with Hiroyuki Kobayashi, producer of Capcom's upcoming Devil May Cry 4, at Tokyo Game Show last week. Read on to get some inside dirt on the game's story: from the secret in-game love affair to how Dante nearly got Nero's arm:
"We thought to put such a weapon on Dante in the early days, but because he can turn into a full demon and then back, we thought it would be strange that he would have just his arm change, so we left that part out of the earlier game. But in this game, with the new character, we had the opportunity to bring this idea to life; we wanted it to do something cool, so it's the Devil Bringer."
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."
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

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
Two Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam. As shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Wario64, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4 are no longer available to purchase.
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.
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.
Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?
Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.
Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.
5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.
WHAT only 20 or so missions no way i though it was gone be much bigger than that, i hope it lasts me a lot longer than 15 hours, and i know the replay value for a dmc game is very high cuz i still play 3 and 1 but still i want the main story to be long
Like i said before, not interested. Typical japanese plot when they have a succesful franchise: Create a lookalike, with the same style, same type hair, uncanny ressemblance, same fighting style sword + gun, and yes same Demon hybrid. I dont know im just not interested in a Devil May Cry game without Dante as its main character.
ahhhh why not ask about if Vergil is in it or not.Have to know!!!
Looks cool. Can't believe the interviewer asked such a stupid question about whether DMC4 would come to the Wii.
