Devil May Cry 5 Review - IGN

IGN: "Devil May Cry 5's trio of outstanding combat styles set a new high bar for the series, and its mysterious story keeps things interesting along the way."

[Blu3_Berry]

Holy shit, Capcom is on fire lately. They are f**king back and have completely redeemed themselves over the past few years. Megaman 11, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2, and now Devil May Cry V. They truly are listening to the fans and because of that, they have my full 100% support. I can't wait to see what they do in the coming years now.

I cannot wait to try out DMCV for myself now, I'm so excited to kick demon ass.

[Nyxus]

I wish Konami would do the same. Anyway, buying this game for sure!

[jbull]

Agree and if they don't go and make a proper MGS game at least license it out to another developer to give it a go.

[SuperSonic91]

IGN: " Not a Nintendo exclusive.Lets deduct .5 from the perfect score."

[darthv72]

Is it just me or does the main character look like the one from scalebound? did PG help Capcom with this game???

[Nyxus]

@ darth: it's Nero with short hair.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

@SuperSonic91 Do you go a day without mentioning Nintendo? Did they hurt you in some way? Do you need an adult?

[bangoskank]

Yeah, it's like Konami are doing everything imaginable to push away their fanbase. They cancel a highly anticipated title(Silent Hills), and neglect beloved IP's like Suikoden, Castelvania, Contra, Gradius, Life Force, etc.
Damn shame what thy they've become.

[King_Noctis]

@SuperSonic

What a stupid, stupid comment, which is whay I expect from you at this point.

[ginsunuva]

@jbull MGS doesn't need any more unnecessary games in the series

[_SilverHawk_]

Amazing looking game. I can't wait for the switch version so I can play it on the go as well as the witcher 3

[LordoftheCritics]

Finally we have two video games to play this year. This and Metro

Capcom is on steroids.

[sprinterboy]

Agreed metro and now dmc have redeemed a poor start to 2019. After this roll on division 2, sekiro and days gone for me.

[-Foxtrot]

See and this is what actual DMC fans wanted, a true DMC game

It looks fantastic and so well designed.

I really do hope when they do DMCVI though they focus on Dante more however, they need to stop focusing on Nero.

[NarutoFox]

Already preordered it

[bmf7364]

@jbull I think the series is due to a retelling via remakes using the FOX Engine.

[CaptainCook]

Your comment is too cringey to read

[sprinterboy]

I've always been shite @dmc games so I'll pass, but nice to see it doing well. Annoys the fuck out of me I'm shite at it lol.

[jeremyj2913]

Part of the fun is letting your creativity flow and becoming a f**king BOSS. Lol

[Imalwaysright]

Sgt_Slaughter

Don't feed the troll. Just mark his/her/it comments as spam and move on.

[EricLane]

Great! Now on to a new Mega Man Legends.

[DarkKaine]

They'll get cocky again due to their success. It's a neverending cycle that applies to pretty much every company until gamers are sick of it and start review bombing again :p

[trooper_]

I'm definitely getting this game.

Now I'm just waiting for a new Onimusha.

[Sirk7x]

Capcom, let's gooo!

[roadkillers]

It continues, odd number DMC games are great, even are average.

[Amplitude]

*plugs ears* Noooo they never made a DMC2 stop pretending they did its not real

[DrumBeat]

Buying.

[Razzer]

Yep

[jeremyj2913]

Bought.

[jbull]

Great news, definitely going to buy this game. This is a win for gamers considering all the justified negativity we had with Anthem.

[Iamnothuman12]

Only game in my life I have ever pre ordered. So glad I won't regret it.

[theshredded]

Capcom has reached CapGod status!

[Movefasta1993]

They had a high status in the ps2 era they simply regained it

[Sirk7x]

Let us not forget Gamecube as well. RE4, Remake and Zero, Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe all were released there first. I still think the PS2/GC/Xbox gen was the best in all gaming.

[Imalwaysright]

They were probably the best publisher of the PS2 era. RE4, Monster Hunter, Code Veronica, Onimusha games, DMC 1 and 3, Okami, God Hand and Viewtiful Joe were all masterpieces.

[deno]

They had a high status in the nes, snes, genesis, ps1, saturn, n64 Era also. Capcom has been making hits since way back. One of the true old-school gaming companies.

[autobotdan]

Greatest game of all time confirmed

[NarutoFox]

It will definitely be a game of the year contender and might actually win it.

[Movefasta1993]

I hope it does , and then that’ll motivate teamninja to make ninja gaiden 4

[jeremyj2913]

If only. This genre has never been nominated broadly. It's already my fave.

[King_Noctis]

This and RE2 are most likely gonna be GOTY contenders, which is unprecedented for Capcom. As a fan, this feels awesome.

[Movefasta1993]

Was mhworld a contender ? I thought it was worthy

[TheEnigma313]

I'm happy Capcom is making quality again. RE2 and now this. I'm trying to decided which to get right now, DMC5 or Shekiro though.

[FPSRUSSIA]

that's a hard chose for sure im getting DMC hopefully my brother gets Shekiro

[TheEnigma313]

Yeah It's a hard choice. I can't get both right now.

[SovereignSnaKe]

Devil May Cry all the way! ^_^

[starchild]

Yeah, that's a tough one. I'm getting both, but I am pretty sure Sekiro is going to be taking up most of my time. That's no knock against DMC5 though because it looks amazing.

[Donnie81]

Oh wow!

[Canidae]

So glad I got this, Resident Evil 2, and The Division 2, for free with my Vega 64. Just a few more days.

[Father__Merrin]

Great to see japanese devs back on top. Now we need the next final fantasy and many other jap games this is how it all was in the early days.

Then you have death stranding and many other exclusives for ps4

[TheGamez100]

Capcom is on fire! Bringing us these quality single player games. Now I want a new AAA megaman game...

[Thundercat77]

What happened at Capcom? New management or something?

They are on fire 🔥 making amazing games. I don't play DMC (I don't even understand the story) but I am so glad it is another good game. RE7 and RE2 were amazing and now this one.

Can't wait RE3 Remake and DINO CRISIS!!!!!

[Movefasta1993]

Pc metacritic 90plus

[Platformgamer]

even IGN can't be IGNorant with this masterpiece :D

[KeenBean345]

I'm so glad I pre-ordered, Capcom does it again!

[thesoftware730]

Already have it pre-ordered.

was gonna get it for the Xone X, not sure if if there is any real difference tho. but gotta get it on PS4 because my son said it feels wrong to play it on the Xbox controller and he enjoys it more than I do.

[Tankbusta40]

I like the ps4 controller as well...but you can get a device that allows you to use it on your one x...its pretty nice except for the fact you cant use a headset while using it.

[gangsta_red]

Capcom is definitely returning to their old school former glory. Where they could do absolutely no wrong.

[SegaGamer]

This game has been something I have been looking forward to since it's reveal, so I was going to get it even if the reviews were average.

[starchild]

Me too. It's nice to see other people are really loving it though.

[Ninjamonkey82]

This will be in my collection

[BlaqMagiq1]

Capcom has officially returned to greatness

[bluefox755]

Capcom has been nailing it lately.

[Lovable]

It's crazy how when a company just focus on making great games, sales comes through as well. See Capcom, no need to gouge your buyers with every penny. Make new games and everyone will praise your company and throw you money. Everyone's happy!

[harmny]

White male protagonist. Not interested /s

[Tankbusta40]

I bet this game will be great...but Jesus...that design for V is just so emo

[XxSPIDEYxX]

CapGods Have Returned to Bless Us!

[leahcim]

KONAMI look at this we are all waiting for your comeback!

come on!

[FallenAngel1984]

If only Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite got as much work out into it

[Traecy]

Picking up Friday.

[TheOptimist]

Ooof..... Game of The Generation material. With the demo I already knew the combat was great. If story is good and is anywhere close to 3, this goes in my book alongside the likes of Nier, Witcher 3, Persona and Nioh/Bloodborne.

GO GO GO DMC....

[saimcheeda]

Can't believe it's been 11 years since the last one, and I'm still as excited as I was back when I was 15!

[BizarroUltraman]

Capcom "Activated" Showing Lebron James how its really done...

[AK91]

I normally tease IGN for being a sh*tty gaming website (and they definitely are) but even they sometimes get it right.

[Youngindy21]

Meh. I won't be picking this up. I'm getting tired of game companies milking the same franchises.

[Bronxs15]

Awesome another tripple A game in native 4K on the one x. It’s gonna be awesome.

[pwnmaster3000]

Why is it listed for only xbox one.. do the PS4 and Xbox have different release date and if so when is the PS4 version coming out?

[bangoskank]

Pre-ordered. Was sold on the demo. Capcom is back in top form. Reminds me of the NES and SNES days:)

[djtek184]

Oh man I can’t Wait. It’s been a long time since I’ve play a dmc game.

[Potnoodle999]

Nice 👌👌

[Edito]

It's not just Capcom but the entire Japanese developers made a huge comeback and this brings some level of nostalgia of the good old japanese games day... Tekken 7 was awesone, Soul Calibur 6 is awesome, Persona 5, RE2, DMC V, Monster Hunter, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Sekiro on the way, Zelda and many more that don't come to mind... Japan is showing again why this industry came to life and to the stage it is now... They are selling full games that you can enjoy without internet without having to buy DLC without lootboxes just the games... Congrats to Capcom and to all Japanese developers that are willing to do that and take the risk in a world full of uncertainty...

We support you All... And You will have my hard earned 60USD.

[lollord]

Should've been a ps4 exclusive. DMC is a playstation series. Smh

[HighPlayer28]

Capcom has been showing their talent lately with their new focus on bringing out high quality games for fans. Take note Japanese publishers this is how it's done.

[GameStallion]

Wow, better review than the Witcher 3. This should be top 10 games of this gen in their opinion.

[Rayko]

Resident evil 2 remake was probably one of the best games I played this gen. Capcom needs to go back to its roots. Never release crappy RE games like 4, 5 and 6.

[Xavi4K]

a masterpiece even though it look great I won't get it until it's on sale busy month for me with Anthem, Just cause 4 (thank you game pass) and Destiny 2 seasons of the drifter.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

Capcom has Really been stepping up their game BIG TIME! They are on a roll. Capcom is one of my favorite old school devs, keep on rolling Cap!

[carcarias]

Is it just me or does the guy with black hair look like Kylo Ren/Adam Driver?

[FernDiggidy]

I SEE YOU CAPCOM!

Can we get a new Viewtiful Joe as well????
