Eurogamer- DMC: Devil May Cry - Preview

Who knew a dodgy haircut could provoke such an outcry? We now know Capcom itself insisted on Dante's extreme makeover, expecting a reaction. Nevertheless, his newly recruited hairdresser seems shocked by the ferocity of it. "Responding to the haters," Ninja Theory co-founder Tameem Antoniades begins, working himself up to a statement of intent via a wounded chuckle: "We've got our plan and we're not changing it. It's a cohesive world that makes sense when you get your hands on it."

The game looks crap and I'm not buying it.

I was under the delusion that devs made games that the consumers want, yet Capcom and NT seem dead set on making it their way regardless of what the fans want.

I don't wish ill on anyone but if the game flops they deserve it for being so stubborn.

VileAndVicious4782d ago

I understand your frustration... But i hope it doesnt flop

Id hate for the devil may cry franchise to end up like megaman

ThanatosDMC4782d ago

Other way around. I hope it flops so they dont screw with what made DMC great, which is Dante and the gameplay plus the Sparda story line.

zerocrossing4782d ago

I don't want the franchise to go the way of Megaman I like DMC in fact I'm a huge fan of it, I would really like it to continue on and either finish the previous story or make a more acceptable re-boot.

I don't want it to continue on like it is now though, its better of dead than a living abomination, lol. Well at least that's my opinion.

Eamon4782d ago

Perhaps it if flops it would become a waking call for Capcom.

Why is the media defending this game so much anyway? Specially Eurogamer that ripped apart the PS3 version of Bayonetta because it ran at 40fps (60fps on the Xbox), because they said frame-rate is something very important for hack & slash games. But now they are loving this one that is running at 30fps? Weird.

I saw the new trailer and the camera is way too far, the action is slow as hell and the new Dante still looks like a meth addict with make-up. And why the hell are the enemies just standing there waiting to be obliterated anyway? Most of the combos are just a copy/paste of Nero from DMC4 but in slow-motion. The game is so sluggish they had to edit it heavily to look fast.

You made me order DMC 4 from amazon.

VileAndVicious4782d ago

I personally didnt think combat in the trailer was any slower than it was in devil may cry 1 and 2.

Dmc 3 and 4 were definitely faster moving games though.

newleaf4782d ago

Did anyone say they were loving that it was at 30fps? I must have missed that article.
Anyway, dmc without 60fps is not dmc...unreal engine makes it even worse.

user83971444782d ago

RIP old Dante you will be missed. Now put that Dante murderer in jail, its name is Ninja Theory

VileAndVicious4782d ago

Capcom is just as much to blame

banner4782d ago

So much negativity around this game!!! I wonder how everything will turn out. I know I'll miss the old dante but hopefully they keep the gameplay alive and better.

Eamon4782d ago

What I continuously don't understand is when Ninja Theory keeps saying "Dane is young in this game so he's blah blah..."

Dante was YOUNG in Devil May Cry 3! If this is supposed to be an origins story, do it right and bring back the DMC3 Dante!

But that Ninja Theory dev has this weird obsession with making Dante look like himself.

just_sayin4782d ago

Yes the new dante looks just like him a dick sucking homo

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

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."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC154d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos153d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga153d ago

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

Friendlygamer154d ago

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

monkey602154d ago (Edited 154d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya154d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde154d ago

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

SeTTriP153d ago

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.

5 Years Later, Devil May Cry 5 Still Quenches My Hack-And-Slash Thirst Like No Other

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."
