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.
"Introducing Muse, a new kind of generative AI model that lets you play and create. From developer ideation to one day supporting game preservation, Muse holds potential to unlock new possibilities." so says Microsoft
Absolutely slimy to use game preservation as a thinly-veiled excuse to continue peddling generative AI garbage. 😡
MUSE
Massive Unmitigated Suspension for Employees.
Lets get this straight. When they say its to asisst creators, they mean assist executive managment. Tell me this, if companies stop paying real people to do real work, who is going to be able to buy anyone else's AI generated products in the first place?
You're definitely preaching to the choir. If you read my own version of the news (it's in the alt sources), it's one of the few times I took the fuc*ing gloves on. I was pissed all day after reading this crap.
Microsoft's latest push into mediocrity and billions wasted. I do wonder if Microsoft will eventually meet the same fate as Intel.
They need to replace Xbox execs with generative AI. It'll do less damage than Phil and the gang for sure
> a first of its kind generative AI model trained on Ninja Theory’s multiplayer battle arena game, Bleeding Edge
Yikes
This is a "Coming soon" from their gaming copilot thingy they're so proud of https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Dunno, feels and looks awful to me
And they didn't explain how they're planning to preserve older games, just some world salad
> To imagine that beloved games lost to time and hardware advancement could one day be played on any screen with Xbox is an exciting possibility for us
This doesn't explain anything. How can they run the older games without hardware it's tied to? Magic?
Whole article actually feels like a world salad galore. Did they use AI to write this?
P. S.: Calling it «Muse» is disgusting.
At Xbox we shit on our employees and our customers. Now who is going to buy this nearly no effort game?
they are not master story tellers ill give them heavenly sword but enslaved was prince of persia 08 with the ability to die, and an annoying companion
They get too much credit as story tellers.
Yes HS had an interesting story,but much of it came off as out of place camp to me. The bit with the king at least ever though it was still generally good/funny, there was still a sense that he was subbing from a different and less serious title.
They also have problems with gameplay balancing.
NT studio theme song is by JB
They can do graphics and story telling, but they are not masters at them.
The likes of TellTale games are masters at story telling. ND are masters at blending cinema with gameplay, many studios are masters at crafting great gameplay mechanics.
Unfortunately, NT are best at trash talking and hyping themselves and their game as well as shifting blame on people.
As for Heavenly Sword (my 1st PS3 game); the game was good apart from the broken difficulty curve when you get to the last boss. I wouldnt say it was great as hack n slash mechanics were done better in previous games on the PS2 and Xbox.
Enslaved on the other hand was just annoying. From Monkey himself right down to crapy ending.
You've played one of their games you played them all. The speed of their combat engine is always the same. Platnuim> Ninja Thoery cause the games they make feels different then the last.
