GCO: "With the definitive edition released recently, I figured it was a good opportunity to have another comparison between the old series of Devil May Cry games and the new reboot. As a big fan of Devil May Cry (as well as an avid fan of hack and slashes in general), I have played all but the 2nd instalment of the original series."
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.
Fanatical has updated its Platinum Collection bundle with new games, and there are now 19 Steam Deck-compatible titles up for grabs.
What Capcom did wrong is not give DMC4 Special Edition a physical release just like they did with DmC DE. Thank goodness for import.
They should just separate the series into two different games, reboot the new one with a different name and back story, then everyone to be happy.
I personally don't find anything interesting about the old DMC series, but I can understand why people love old Dante, his cheesy style gets people off who are into that sort of thing lol
DmC was punching above it's weight
What DmC did wrong was piss way too many people off. If Ninja Theory was just cool about the whole situation then more people maybe would have been okay with it, but you can't piss off a whole community and deliberately jab them with insults and expect them to still buy your game. That's just plain stupid.
Nobody liked dudebro dante, they shouldve gone with DMC3 personality if they wanted success.
