When Ninja Theory rebooted the Devil May Cry series fans were none too pleased with what they’d done. Many fans complained of the character redesigns, as well as complaining that the game was “too easy”. Even though the game was actually pretty damn good, the negative fan reaction meant that sales were less than what Capcom would have liked. So it’s no surprise that Capcom decided to jump on the trend up remastering last gen games and released DmC: Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition, most likely in the hopes of generating some more sales.
Fanatical has updated its Platinum Collection bundle with new games, and there are now 19 Steam Deck-compatible titles up for grabs.
DmC: Devil May Cry launched 10 years ago to critical acclaim, but caused a significant stir amongst fans of the series.
No matter how many times they try to push this game, I'll never play it.
But the PR keeps pushing it and pushing it when other DMC games are better and sold better.
Ah we're at that point in time where failed games end up being needlessly defended and pushed as "underrated" or "gems"
There's a reason this caused Capcom to go back to the traditional DMC franchise.
DMC V became the top selling game in the series by a longshot. Even the team was more eager to make a new DMC game rather than try and continue the DmC reboot/spin-off and listened to fan input for V.
cue the puff pieces for Ninja Theory. Like what we saw happen with Deathloop and Tokyo, the MS marketing team is starting the hype machine early. So we see the revisionist history with their past games. Suddenly it's the best in the series lol. They've never made a bad game, they've just never made a successful one. Now, right or wrong because of the timing, their new game has the extra pressure of being the face of GP in 2022 alongside Starfield and Redfall. A lot of pressure for a studio that made its last game with 30 people. Let's hope 4th time's the charm

It sold poorly it’s why we have DMC5 instead of DmC 2 and from what I’ve been seeing of that Anarchy Reigns clone from Team Ninja I think it was for the better.
This is a great action game now that it's at 60fps, seems much more fluid than the ps3 version I played. Despite the perceived bad story line I put it right up there with Bayonetta 2. haters gotta hate
LMAO deal with it ? i love it !!! lol gave me a great laugh lol
