Dealspwn writes: If you're looking to pick up Devil May Cry or DMC: Definitive Edition on your PS4 or Xbox One, we'd advise checking out this site, as they're currently over a fiver cheaper than the next best deal. This is a pre-order for the game's release on March 17th.
This re-release sees the game running at a slick 1080p and 60fps. As far as in-game extras go, you can now play as Dante's brother, Virgil. There are also numerous challenge modes and extra difficulties for the hardcore fans out there. DMC turned out much better than we expected and the backlash against Dante's new look proved to be a bit silly in the end. He may look like a tool, but once the story gets going, it turns out he's a great lead. Combat is generally excellent, although alternating between the different styles with the shoulder buttons can take some getting used to. This is also another action game with terrible platforming sections. There's just no need.
Is it worth another buy though? Hardcore fans will appreciate the extra difficulty and increased frame-rate to be sure. Newcomers have the option of picking up the last-gen version for a tenner though. Capcom haven't released a new-gen remaster yet, so we're not sure how fast the price of this one will drop. Last of Us has seemed to stick at £25, while Metro: Redux has been as low as £13 already for example.
Fanatical has updated its Platinum Collection bundle with new games, and there are now 19 Steam Deck-compatible titles up for grabs.
DmC: Devil May Cry launched 10 years ago to critical acclaim, but caused a significant stir amongst fans of the series.
No matter how many times they try to push this game, I'll never play it.
But the PR keeps pushing it and pushing it when other DMC games are better and sold better.
Ah we're at that point in time where failed games end up being needlessly defended and pushed as "underrated" or "gems"
There's a reason this caused Capcom to go back to the traditional DMC franchise.
DMC V became the top selling game in the series by a longshot. Even the team was more eager to make a new DMC game rather than try and continue the DmC reboot/spin-off and listened to fan input for V.
cue the puff pieces for Ninja Theory. Like what we saw happen with Deathloop and Tokyo, the MS marketing team is starting the hype machine early. So we see the revisionist history with their past games. Suddenly it's the best in the series lol. They've never made a bad game, they've just never made a successful one. Now, right or wrong because of the timing, their new game has the extra pressure of being the face of GP in 2022 alongside Starfield and Redfall. A lot of pressure for a studio that made its last game with 30 people. Let's hope 4th time's the charm

It sold poorly it’s why we have DMC5 instead of DmC 2 and from what I’ve been seeing of that Anarchy Reigns clone from Team Ninja I think it was for the better.
Very interested. Played the game 'for free' through PS+, and really liked it. Didn't finish it cause my HDD crapped out on me (and didn't have a cloud-save), but will probably end up buying the HD-release for PS4.
Not in the fucking hell I'll be interested about something Capcom related.
Please, for the love of Zod will you people start using DmC and DMC to differenciate!?
I disagree with the comment re-new look nothing to compain about, waited it with Dante. Cole from InFAMOUS, Max Payne, and Daivd Hayter not being snake. LEAVE ESTABLISHED CHARACTERS IN GAMES ALONE UNLESS THEIR VOICE ACTOR DIES.
I enjoyed DmC on my PS3,I'll definite buy it for my PS4 when it's dirt cheap.
