It released two years after the original but was considered to be worse in almost every way. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for its sequel, Devil May Cry 2. Though the game only lasted about six or seven hours, fans found the brief experience well worth the price of admission. He wielded melee weapons as well as his trademark dual pistols Ebony & Ivory – together they breezily strung together stylish combos. The first game introduced the style system, where attack combos netted players grades during battles, incentivizing players to experiment with Dante’s fast-paced move set. He was, however, the son of the demonic knight Sparda, granting him supernatural powers in his quest to defeat his own kin. It introduced Dante, a demon-hunting vigilante hell-bent on eradicating demons after they killed his mother and corrupted his brother Virgil. This PlayStation 2 classic was a fun, flashy, difficult and rewarding third-person action game that gave the industry a quick jolt in the arm. The original Devil May Cry spawned an entire series – and for good reason. Will Capcom ever return to classic Devil May Cry, or will special editions and HD collections be all the world will ever see from this once-great franchise? As of now, all fans have are half-measures like adding Dante to Monster Hunter World to keep the franchise from dying out completely.
Unfortunately, ever since DmC there hasn’t been a single new game in the series. This week, the Devil May Cry HD Collection was ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It was eventually rebooted by Ninja Theory as DmC: Devil May Cry in 2013 and received positive reviews. It spawned its own franchise that would continue for another seven years over four separate games.
What resulted was a highly-influential, cool, sleek action game that received positive reviews and sold exceptionally well. It started as an early attempt at making Resident Evil 4 but was quickly turned into a new IP once the game became more action oriented, obtained a free-moving camera without restrictions of pre-rendered environments, included more Gothic influences and began to focus on demons rather than zombies. Devil May Cry is a unique series for a bevy of reasons.
