Resident Evil 6 is the major Q4 game, but Capcom is hard at work on two other returning hit brands – Lost Planet 3 and Devil May Cry – both of which are heading in different directions.
The latter game is being developed in the UK by Cambridge-based studio Ninja Theory and will launch in January. The title acts as a reboot for the franchise, and although the media is optimistic, hardcore fans have been less pleased about the new direction.
Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.
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.
Capcom, if you're reading this, then pay attention and stop being idiots.
Things you can change: Stories can be changed as long as the story isn't a series long story. Final Fantasy is a great example of this. No one complains about FF games changing a story because each new game is a new story. But you can't, say, make 3 games with the same story and then have a whole new story in the 4th unless you finish off the story beforehand.
Gameplay: Same rules apply for gameplay as story. You can change up the gameplay as long as you haven't made a specific type of gameplay crucial to the series and then all of a sudden change it up. If you want to do that and gauge fan reaction, create a spinoff. Fans usually don't mind a well-done spinoff.
Music: Changing up the music is actually expected. Remixes are also welcome.
Overall presentation/artstyle: Another thing that is expected. Don't want games to constantly look the same. I'm talking to you CoD.
Things you don't change: ICONIC CHARACTERS! You don't build up a series around one person and then COMPLETELY change them. There is a reason they are called iconic. Iconic means they define the series. Their look, their attitude, the way they play. They ARE the series. Changing iconic characters should NEVER happen. EVER! The only changes that should be made to iconic characters are things like age, outfits (if they're good ones, meaning they aren't in contrast to the character's personality), and maybe mannerisms that might change with experience. Other than that, if you want us to buy your series about a certain character and we grow to love it, DON'T FRICKIN' CHANGE IT!
Anything that is iconic of the series. Unless you are removing it because it causes problems with another aspect of the game, don't make us come to expect something of a series and then do a complete 180.
There are things you should change, and things you should never touch. Don't believe me? Talk to Miyamoto about Mario's look.
The gameplay is good at that's what counts.
Media Optimistic......news to me
I think the problem is when reviewing it journalists wony review it as a DMC game and act like its a new IP. The need to review it as a DMC game, not just how well it holds on its own.
Liked DMC and Loved Heavenly sword, its win win for me and thats all that matters.
New Dante sucks still but i wasnt a big fan of the original dante too.
this makes me as sick as Metal Gear Rising does just another game that should never happen
