NowGamer - Remember when this used to be the laughing stock of the games industry? Us too. As we get nearer to the release date, however, it seems more and more likely that it actually might be quite good, no doubt infuriating all those fanboys who got their Dante pyjamas in a twist.
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.
No, I simply don't think it's just as easy as to say, "oh look they have created white hair for when he powers up" and "oh look, NT are good at cinematics and character creation".
DMC is about:
1) fast paced, 60fps, fluid and creative combo system hack and slash.
2) Dante and Sparda's story
3) Japanese gothic story and humour
4) The DMC Universe which the Hideki Kamiya
Bayonetta shows what Devil May Cry 4 could have been but wasn't and this is the direction the series should have gone into as supposed to remaking it.
Instead what we are getting is:
1) A reboot set in a alternative timeline
2) more cinematic but less frantic combo system meaning like most NT games, it will be more button mashing
3) More story, less japanese goth and humour
4) Non of the style and finess of the original DMC games.
This is why the so called "fanboys" are pissed. If you are goingto create a game and change everything about it which made it what it is, then you may as well give it a new name.
Giving him white hair when he goes into devil trigger and giving him feathers when he goes into an angel mode doesn't make up for anything.
Crapcom themselves have distanced themselves from the game. When a publisher does that, it cannot be a good thing.
Just hire Platinum Games and let Kamiya San make what every DMC fan wants, a true DMC sequel!
