GameSkinny Review | DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition is an Unneeded Re-Release

DmC: Devil May Cry is the last game that needs a re-release and yet Capcom believes that gamers have the memory span of a midterm voter. Like before, this could have been a good hack & slash if it didn't pretend to be a Devil May Cry game with an unlikable hero.

This is defiantly the one game that didn't need an HD release. Yet Capcom did it anyway rather than putting resources to something else like a real Devil May Cry game.

[DarkOcelet]

For all we know, there could be a Devil May Cry 5 with Dante and Virgil against each other again which would be sick. Especially with current gen capabilities. Who know what amazing changes might happen.

[Kingthrash360]

Ok ...so I read this "review" ...
All I see him talk about is how much he hates the character...and the story. Says the hack and slash aspect is "generic" and lost its way.
Give it a 5.
my problem with this is he gave no real complaint that's not opinion.
like graphics...or frame rate...or glitches.
camera issues or controls....nothing about guns or collectibles. ..The weapons. ...just pure opinion.
I should start reviewing reviews because lately they haven't been reviews they've been opinion pieces. Smh I give this review a 1.
It failed to tell us anything other than he didn't like the new dante.
He didn't like the story.
that's it. No information about the game at all
1/100 score...He gets a 1 for typing.

We still don't know what next Itsuno project after dragon dogma

Don't count DMC 4 Remaster sure,he still handle/director remaster version but it look like side project for him than main project..

[Roccetarius]

I don't see how that would be possible, considering what happened to Vergil. Unless he meets him in Hell or something.

[fallacious]

It's "definitely", learn your words. If you're the reviewer then I'm appalled.

[Wonderful101]

Your review is "defiantly" the unneeded one.

[DEATHxTHExKIDx]

lol dont click this game is far from a 5. One of the funnest hack n slashes I have played this gen. DMC was never really serious about story telling this game takes a kool approach to it with Demon corporations and I enjoyed it.

[Summons75]

5 is pretty accurate. The story is dreadful and something a middle school kid would think of, the combat is very dull and waaaay to easy compared to the other DMC games and other games in it's genre. All this they did was polish a turd, in the end it's still a turd. DMC4 is going to blow this out of the water.

[Gore-Content]

gameskinny. Who gives a f*** what they have to say.

[PS4isKing_82]

Absolutely loving this game. Hated it's original version but the 60 fps, 1080p, enhanced controls, and alternate skins for Dante, it feels much closer to a "real" devil my cry game.

I have my Dante in his dmc 3 skin and am loving it.

So glad capcom rereleased this on ps4. This game definitely fills a void that's been missing in the console.

Can't wait for dmc4 remastered next :D

My personal score for the game would be a 8.5/10.

[Clogmaster]

Great picture.

We need an HD collection for that.

[Revolt13]

Pshh, get this review out of here also

[Transporter47]

I say the score is a bit low. I think its around the 6.7 range.

[Bathyj]

Reviews are just trash now arent they? Everyone has an axe to grind. Everyone brings baggage or whines about their own personal pet peeves.

A game that was a 7 or 8 before is now suddenly a 5 because the reviewer thinks it didnt need to be ported.

He may well be right, maybe it didnt need to be made. But that doesnt diminish the quality of the game and when I read a review thats what Im interested in. Youre supposed to be objective. What about people that havent played it? Are we supposed to believe this is a 5 because you did and are done with it. If you had that attitude going in, maybe you should have passed the review off to someone that wanted to play it and is professional enough to have an open mind.

Just for the record, I dont give a damn about DMC. I never played it even though I've got it free on PS+ and I always liked the Onimusha series more, but Im so over reviewers not doing what theyre supposed to do, and thats giving a fair gauge of the quality of a game. We need a lot more true measurement and a lot less opinion and if we dont get it Im really hoping the games media industry crashes.

[thejigisup]

I agree, but having the whole games industry crash? Why i never

[rainslacker]

Remakes of such recent games shouldn't get downrated at all unless they're broken at launch. A game that released 2-3 years ago would probably have scored the same today, and it only makes sense that it'd actually have a higher score if the graphics are better, since otherwise, they're almost carbon copies.

This type of review falls into the "it's the company milking the customer" category. My problem with that is that it's not really up to the reviewer to judge a game based on that merit, and I'd imagine this game is for the people that didn't buy it originally, or really liked it the first time around. I can't imagine people who played it the first time, and simply found it OK, would care to make another purchase of the game.

For remasters that are 5+ years old, it may be worth rating them against current standards(if such a thing exists) just to see how they hold up in terms of game play, as things do advance.

[jhpadilla]

They should've remastered the previous versions of this franchise.

[gantarat]

they did.

[thejigisup]

They did remaster though i think he just wants 1-4 on current gen consoles.

[rainslacker]

They could remaster the remaster.:)

[OmegaShen]

A 5? Wow, he was pretty nice. I would give it a 1.5 for just looking pretty and ok combat. But then again I never care for the idea forcing players to use set weapon to kill one target.

[KTF26]

"DmC: Devil May Cry could have been a good hack & slash if it didn't pretend to be a Devil May Cry game with an unlikable hero."

so the reviewer says at the conclusion he's biased
Good!
