DmC: Devil May Cry hands-on sessions were happening at Capcom's Captivate event last week, NowGamer has played through the first mission of the game, and has listed tons of new details here.
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.
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.
Trailer looks phenomenal. Hack'n'slash of 2012? Could easily be Ninja Theory's best game so far... the give them Okami
It really does look good but nothing will ever satisfy the fans of this series any longer. Just because Dante essentially got his hair dyed and got a hair cut makes all the difference in the world. It sounds exactly the same as the original, his face looks like Dante from DMC3, it's the same guy from an alternate universe. Shame some people will overlook this game on such petty things.
I know I'll get bombarded with "Oh but there's so much more" and they'll proceed to tell me what they think is more to what's wrong with this game over the past series. But oh well, get over it guys. It's done and you should at least give this one a chance before just easily writing it off as nothing.
God I'm psyched. I was disappointing in the beginning due to Dante's look, but I've always love Ninja Theory's games. After every leaked and non leaked trailer.. I've got hope :3.. now I'd just love a DMC game on my Vita :D
If you can't see that something is clearly off about the way the game plays, then unfortunately, you weren't blessed with the gift of insight and discernment.
Doesn't make you less of a person, just means your gifts and talents are not in your sight.
