Super PolyPixel - Remakes, or reboots shall we say, are becoming a craze lately in many media industries. Hollywood for instance has been taking the time in recent years to remake those films we’ve enjoyed as kids growing up (at least in my case). For example, we had film remakes such as The Amazing Spider-Man, Friday the 13th, and The Dark Knight. It’s pretty inevitable that the video game industry will follow the same structured path, which we’ve seen happen with many classics in recent years.
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.
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
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.
4.
5.
1.
3.
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
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.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.
TBH DMC:DMC never really felt like a reboot. At most it felt a story in alternate universe.
Dante overall design could've been better. By better I don't mean look like Dante from the previous DMC games either. I just got tired hearing the "he looks emo" or "he looks too much like the game's designer." I'm not sure what they were thinking when they design him.
The level design is where NT shine the most at. Imho it was way better than previous DMC games.
The story I wish they went more into detail not only about their parents but why Vergil dislike human.
If Ninja Theory had treated the fanbase better who's knows maybe the game would've sold more.
Yes it works. People enjoy familiarity. We are to reluctant change (cue in Xbox One DRM policy and such for example). Just look at some successful franchises that has not changed the core but just added different locations and different arrangement of colors for a new but tried and true formula.
tomb raider - yes
devil may cry - no
yes it is, the only problem is that SO many fanbases today are full of entitled manchildren who complain about anything and everything especially change, i mean how many fans of mgs were pissed when snake was revealed to be old in MGS4, constant whining and now they defend him at every turn, DMC fanbase is a prime example, just from a reveal trailer they harass, threaten and curse the developers of the game, which actually turned out to be pretty good and true to the series, and are total hypocrites as well, they curse NT for making a dick joke yet four years ago those same people could be found saying, "First I whip it out then i ram it in" from DMC4
