Destructoid's Maurice Tan writes, "All types of Devil May Cry fans seem to have formed their opinions on the upcoming DmC already, although to date there hasn't been a whole lot to go on. The new game features a younger and more aggressive Dante and although Ninja Theory's Enslaved was somewhat of a critics darling, not everyone was as charmed by the combat in that game.
At gamescom, Capcom and Ninja Theory were finally ready to show the actual important part. Not the hair, but the combat mechanics"
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
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."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5
2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me
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
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
nero's devil arm from DMC4 i am all good that was the most fun to use.
other than that this looks good hoping for the best any info on release window yet?
This game is going to flop harder than a fish out of water. Not because Dante looks like he just broke out of a methodone clinic, not because his persona has been castrated, but because NT is absolute crap at making good games.
"If you have played Enslaved before, you will recognize a lot of touches from that game's camera work."
Is that supposed to be good news?
"Special finishers bring the camera up close and personal to show Dante ripping apart his foes before zooming out to the regular view"
OMG! This hasn't been before. Innovation at it's...o wait. This HAS been done before.
Some Heavenly Sword camera issues, same Devil May Cry combat, all at 30 fps? Why did we need Ninja Theory to do exactly what Capcom can do with DMC, only worse?
I am a diehard Dante fan, but this game is making me cringe. I'm hoping for a game at least as good as 4, since I know 3 is untouchable
@AWBrawler
Ima let you finnish number 3 was good... But devil may cry 1 was the greatest of all time
