DMC 5 will be the new king of action game of all time! I cannot wait, dmc is the best! A must buy, play the whole series before dmc 5, I highly recommend it!
While I've not seen this yet I thought I'd scroll the comments as I know these games journos cannot mention DmC without saying "b-b-but it was good and it was only the hair! Nothing to do with the colour coded enemies, lack of lock-on despite two dodge buttons and it being more like Heavenly Sword but with a jump button than Devil May Cry!" I'd honestly be more surprised if that didn't happen, but after all it is Gamespot, and I can remember seeing a video from them with some clown saying about how DMC5's marketing is throwing DmC under the bus by simply saying "Devil May Cry is back!" Utterly ridiculous. No matter how many times they put the Devil May Cry name into the title, it's never gonna be like DMC.
Devil May Cry 5: the rises of a Legendary franchise. Devil May Cry 4: acceptable. Devil May Cry 3: the Best. Devil May Cry 2: the Worts. Devil May Cry 1: a classic.
@@kakun723 is IS an alternative timeline. DMC2 is the forbidden game we don't talk about, yet has ironically returned to the conversation (thanks for that capcom)
This in-depth history of the DMC series was very thorough and well-made. It was nostalgic as heck! The narrator's overreliance on "TH-cam Script Reading Voice" is my only complaint.
I can't wait to play DMC 5, the kings are back and it is going to be one hell of a ride, I'm interested in the story too, so it is a win situation for all Devil may cry fans, let's rock baby!
i've read the light novel of devil may cry 5 what is a prequel to the upcoming game theres a chapter with lucia i don't know if she will make a cameo but i sure hope she does
@@ChrisBa303 If you're gonna make a history video on a series you should probably pronounce the characters names right. It's like if a history book misspelled the name of a country or leaders in history wrong.
Having steamrolled the series again in prep for DMC5, I have to say that DmC has actually aged very well. The combat is arguably the best in the series, and being open to the idea of an AU (with crossover potential!) actually makes it a lot more palatable story wise. I still wouldn't go so far as to say the story is particularly good, even amidst DMC games, the characters on their own are decent and the combat is top notch.
People shits on DmC but to me it's one of the most enjoyable game I've played, helped me through my depression (and I've played both DMC 4 and 3 before)
DmC was easily my favorite in the series. The smoothest and varying combat. The stages and bosses that were so unique and monumental. It's like when I played god of war for the first time. I had played others before then but this was my favorite. Also played on pc..may have had something to do with it
DmC is a good game, and I am sad we will never see more of that iteration of the story. I’m saying that as a long time fan of the entire series. Dante becomes the Dante people were expecting by the end of the game. DMC5 still kicked ass, though. They kind of made Nero more like DmC Dante.
@@JeanLucSeipke my point is still valid , dmc reboot fail is not worthy to be called a Devil may cry game , didn't even make sense this name in the reboot , the theme about the original DMC what really means to be a human or a demon and the difference between them , don't even is explored in the reboot because the protagonist is not even human , there are demons in the original DMC games that understand more what a human is than the donte from ninja theory
I loved DmC: Devil May Cry. The gameplay was fun and the ability to switch to demon/angel weapons on the fly were unique. The story was a little try-hard to be "modern" but that last boss fight with Vergil was amazing. I know many fans disagree, but I love the Devil May Cry series and I welcome DmC as part of the family of games.
You need to take pride in those transitions (changing the ps2 setup to a ps2 setup, slapping the hand reaching for pizza, etc) Those are pretty damn good
the death of the shitty reboot is one of the best instances of consumer victories in the video game industry, when voting with your wallet actually made a difference for once. Long live the real DMC series with major hype for DMC5 and anticipation for DMC6 down the road
Remember what the gaming press said, fanbase destroys franchise out of spite. What do they want us to do, accept any old slop that gets served up to us? I'm sure not even Resident Evil Operation Racoon City, also outsourced to some third rate western dev team, got the same outcry from the press when nobody liked it.
As an outsider looking in (I've never played a DMC game to fruition, but love watching the industry impact), the reboot to canonical series relationship is absolutely FASCINATING. Hardcore fans either hate DmC or show it respect for its combat, while non-hardcore fans absolutely love it. I had no idea it was this polarizing, but it's an entertaining tug-of-war for on-lookers.
It's so weird that 4 has more gameplay innovations than an actual reboot. The "it would've been fine if it just had a different name" could work for the Prince of Persia reboot (2nd Reboot I know) but not here.
Really liking 5 but honestly, I would not mind a Dmc 2 following Ninja Theory's concepts and narrative which I enjoyed a lot more. Combat was also good.
Am I the only one who didn't equip original design of Dante in DmC Definitive edition. I personally used Neo Dante. The design of his face makes me sick and it does not work with the original Dante's costume. Neo Dante just makes more sense to me. It still look like Dante but more punk instead of teenager wearing a gross dirty coat over an even grosser and dirtier tank top.
Ditto, it's my favorite game series cause my grandmother got me into it. Though I do like the reboot, I couldn't count it as a true dmc game cause of the forced playstyle it made you play on certain enemies, I consider the definitive edition more dmc then the original 360 release. I did enjoy it, but I'm prefer the canon series over the reboot. It's still fun to visit after a little while
Good vid, though you got the difference between 'heaven and hell' and 'hell and hell' wrong. In the former, both enemies and player die in one hit, in the latter, only the player does, enemies are unchanged.
Dude.... when I first saw Nero... I was so weirded out because he did not look at all like his dmc4 counterpart at all. Only the red rose gave me indication it was him
Of course they think it was the hair that was the problem. Of fucking course. Who wants to play that game journalist inspired bingo game that was posted on the subreddit?
I’ve got a right unpopular opinion but I’ve played every devil may cry starting with the launch of the first one back in like elementary school or so but like I fucking loved DmC. Had my favorite rendition of Dante with the most balanced tongue in cheek/ brooding personality. Cool as sidekick. Cool ass story. Loved the They Live influence “consume”, “obey”, etc.
As i said as a fan of the devil may cry franchise i actually kinda liked the reboot i get why people were pissed off with this reboot but for me personally i thought the reboot game was really interesting
Wait wait wait... in Heaven and Hell, Dante and enemies die in one hit, and in Hell and Hell Dante dies in one hit and enemies have Dante Must Die HP and mechanics.
