It all began with a phone call. Hanging up the phone, Dante turns to find Trish running in the front of Dante's shop. She asks him about his work, to which Dante replies "If I kill every last demon, I'll have gotten the one that killed my family." She impales him with her sword and chucks a shiny new motorbike at him, to which he responds by shooting the bike right back at her. This wasn't Princess Peach, and there's no sign of red dungarees in sight. This was the opening sequence to Devil May Cry; one of the most successful Capcom franchises in the company's history.
Produced by Hideki Kamiya, now world renowned from his success with the Resident Evil franchise, the original title was a massive hit on PlayStation 2 in 2001, eventually going on to sell over four million copies, making it one of the most successful games of all time. Two games later, and the series is at a turning point; one which will make or break the franchise. Scores of loyalists are outraged by Capcom's decision to go multi-format, especially as the first three games in the series were solid exclusives, and for a short time, so was Devil May Cry 4.
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."
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
Two Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam. As shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Wario64, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4 are no longer available to purchase.
Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.
Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.
DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.
Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?
Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.
Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.
5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.
I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?
