With less than half a year before DMC 2's 2003 release, Capcom brought in a new director to course-correct and get the game out for release: Hideaki Itsuno. Instead, a still-to-this-day unknown phantom director was put in charge of the game and he ran it into the ground. Kamiya would involuntarily leave the series after DMC 1 as Capcom didn't ask him to work on DMC 2.
Rather than scrap the build, Capcom saw potential in the idea of a stylish action game, and gave director Hideki Kamiya permission to make it a full title. The game series began as a prototype build for Resident Evil 4 that had more of an overt action focus than the acclaimed horror franchise was known for. I just take it as a reboot or Dante and Vergil in another universe.ĭevil May Cry is an action series developed and published by Japanese company Capcom, beginning with Devil May Cry 1 in 2001 for the Playstation 2 ( Here's an advert showing it as part of Sony's holiday lineup that included landmark gaming titles such as Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto 3, Metal Gear Solid 2 and. I think it is still a good Devil may Cry game. Some people said that it is a great game if it is not called Devil May Cry, but I disagree. I am wondering what the story of a sequel will be. But somehow, I am interested in their story. I'm just glad that the game did not get review bombs by hardcore fans of the series, or at least that is what I observed.Ĭharacter wise, I find Dante and Vergil less badass than the Dante and Vergil from the 5 games. I hoped that at some point, Vergil will meet Sparda, wherever he is banished (in hell or some other place?)
I hoped for a bit longer Vergil's Downfall story (or at least had boss fights against Hollow Kat and Hollow Dante). I was actually hoping for a sequel of DmC.
It is easier to play in PC thanks to the free camera movement with the mouse, but I enjoy playing it with a controller. I recently bought it weeks ago from Steam since it was on sale and I have some extra funds. I get it as a noob friendly game due to the gameplay since I suck at the other DMC games but still played them anyway for the story. For the record, I prefer Dante and Vergil from the other DMC Games (1-5) in everything - characterization, style, more badass, etc.īut the first time I played DmC years back when it was released, I actually enjoyed it.
