Any conflicts and arguments for the re-imagining of Dante’s character and appearance aside, there has been a massive concern among long term fans of the Devil May Cry series as to whether a Western developer can effectively create a successful entry in the much loved stylish Japanese Hack and Slash series. Ninja Theory are a Developer with a relatively short but high calibre resumé, having created other high quality titles within the same genre such as Heavenly Sword. I was extremely interested to see for myself whether this altered origin story managed to maintain the same high octane but extremely controlled action that was present in the original quadrilogy, or whether it would become a completely different beast entirely.
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.
Thanks, but no thanks!
No thanks. I do not believe you that this game is great because you were pulling REALLY long chains and combos within minutes. What happened to the days when DMC fans practised for hours to refine their combos and improve their stylish rankings? I do not want some westernised, streamlined and casual piece of shit. Have you looked at what happened to Resident Evil 6 after all the hype? If not then I will tell you; it flopped and it is getting mediocre to poor reviews. That is the fate of this piece of trash as well. People are tired of CAPCOM westernising and ruining franchises. We old and original fans refuse to take any more of this and will speak with our wallets.
If Capcom themselfs can't make a good RE game anymore then do people really have hope for a DMC game which looks terrible made by a studio like NT.
Journalists have sold their souls this gen. They will call a witch hunt unnecessarily and sing praises for utter crap when the devil comes to pay a visit.
It's been a generation of shame for gaming journalists.
