Devil May Cry 5 Hands-On Xbox One Demo Impressions: I'm All In

Capcom is setting the stage for what should be a fantastic return to form for the series with Devil May Cry 5, and suddenly the wait for the full release in March 2019 has become that much harder to endure.

The demo was great! The boss at the end, very cool! Not sure if there is a major difference, but I was playing on X1X.

[Darkwatchman]

I was also playing on Xbox One X, but I have a sneaking suspicion the demo wasn’t Xbox One X enhanced because image quality was really really average. Didn’t look too hot.

[Lennoxb63]

Image quality was far from average. Must be your Tv.

[Fantangoooo]

Yup, dunno but that played and looked wonderful so I am sure you don’t have an x1

[Darkwatchman]

You guys get so butthurt over everything. Image quality is worse than the FF13 1728p with 2X MSAA and BF 5 dynamic 4K I’ve been playing recently. Heck, even Persona 3 and 5 Dancing on PS4 Pro look much sharper than that DMC 5 demo.

What are you talking about? I played the demo last night on my XB1X on a 4K TV, it is clean native 4K. One of the best looking games on console this generation. Your TV settings must be off.

[Darkwatchman]

My tv settings are not off. I can say all these other games look sharper, but because this one game doesn’t look that crisp, it’s my tv settings. Yeah, okay, guys. Keep being in denial.

I only have a base xbo (not even an S) and the demo looked fine to me. I'd imagine it will only look better on an X. Maybe you need glasses or something?

[Darkwatchman]

If you’re only gaming on a standard Xbox One, I wouldn’t say your standards for image quality are very high then.

Downloaded it, but haven't played it yet, hope I'm in for a treat

[AK91]

I was a bit annoyed at the DmC inclusions, such as the awkard zoom in on Nero's face after beating a bunch of enemies and the random voice yelling "SAVAGE" and "BADASS" got annoying after a while.

I hope in the end product we have option to remove these because other than that the demo is rad and the gameplay was rad.

[djsilke45]

Sorry but I'm loving the "Yea Baby!"

[WeAreLegion]

GDI. Why release a demo earlier on one platform? Nobody's buying a system for that. I'm so tilted.

[UltraNova]

$$$

[Saranya]

It's marketing deal.

[BioShockGX]

I believe it's timed.

[BizarroUltraman]

The way you say it, is as if MS paid Capcom to get Xbox demo exclusively to 'boost sales'

[WeAreLegion]

Why did they? To be dicks?

[darthv72]

consider it like other early access games. That is something PS4 does not support, only this time it is an early access trial.

[Platformgamer]

i was already in since the reveal

[zarbor]

Well, if you like the previous games and how they played, you will be right at home with this one based on the demo. Graphics obviously upgraded but game doesn't feel or play any different. More of the same and for many that's good enough. Leaving final judgement for the final game.
