Almost 5 million copies sold, and Resident Evil 6 is a failure

February 5, 2013 at 11:45 am | 24 Comments

It’s that time of the year again where game publishers begin posting results, and Capcom has some of those numbers to share. After shifting almost five million units, you’d think that Resident Evil 6 would be a reason to pop open some bubbly, but nothing could be further from the truth for that now maligned franchise, as Capcom has marked it as an official disappointment.

Capcom gives DmC’s Dante his classic look, but who’ll give Capcom a spine?

January 24, 2013 at 3:30 pm | 36 Comments

Ninja Theory’s DmC reboot has not exactly been a hit with fans, many of whom hate the fact that the white-haired ass-kicker they grey up with is depicted as a bit of an angsty, emo, ignoble jackass. It’s something that’s even addressed right in the beginning of the game, via a tongue-in-cheek jab at the series. Gamers though, they hate this Dante (delightfully renaming him Donte)...and they want the old Dante back.

DmC: Devil May Cry Review – Dante’s Inferno

January 18, 2013 at 1:00 pm | 60 Comments

DmC: Devil may Cry is not a hardcore action game with nefarious puzzles. It’s a somewhat more simplified experience where the combat is a touch easier and slicker, the characters are more flawed than ever and the world around them is less fantastical and more troubled.

It’s also a game that puts previous instalments in the franchise to shame, because of those decisions, and gives fans a better Dante in the process, something that Capcom could never do.

Gamers are being whiny babies on Metacritic again

January 16, 2013 at 10:30 am | 236 Comments

Ninja Theory’s DmC was released yesterday, to critical acclaim. It currently stands with a rather impressive Critic score of 89 86 on the review aggregator. As you’d expect, given the “fan” outrage, its Metacritic user score is less than favourable, at a rather paltry 2.9 – showing once again how entitled crybaby whiner gamers can be.

Is this sex scene gratuitous or not? (DMC)

December 18, 2012 at 7:45 am | 15 Comments

Hard core fans of the Devil May Cry series are up in arms over this video featuring a sex scene between demons stating that it shows how the developers have completely lost their way and don’t understand who they are developing for anymore.

DmC Demo impressions – Dante’s Inferno

November 21, 2012 at 3:00 pm | 1 Comment

To say that DmC has had a rocky ride in it’s development cycle so far, would be an understatement. The reboot from Capcom and Ninja Theory hasn’t exactly been warmly received, with numerous folks decrying the visuals of the game. But after the demo that just landed for it, it’s safe to say that in the case of DmC, looks most certainly do not count.

Devil May Cry DLC is taking Vergil to hell

November 13, 2012 at 2:00 pm | 9 Comments

Hey, who wants some DLC for a game before it’s even out? And who thinks that this is a great idea? Well, if you happen to be a game publisher whose name rhymes with kaching-com, then we might be in business. The upcoming Devil May Cry reboot has it’s fair share of pre-order bonuses, and if you don’t plan on taking part in the early adoption, well then screw you and hand over some cash for this content!

Prepare to die in Devil May Cry… a lot

November 2, 2012 at 1:30 pm | 7 Comments

Dammit 2012, end already! I’m eager for the new Devil May Cry, and even if you hate the new visual direction that the franchise is taking with this reboot, the gameplay looks like a rock-solid experience that should please even the most jaded fan. You know what else might also please them? A set of difficulty options that will make the game harder than month old fruit cake, that’s what.

New DmC screens and weapons escape from Tokyo

September 20, 2012 at 10:30 am | 8 Comments

The upcoming Ninja Theory produced reboot of Devil May Cry may have had me shaken when it was first announced, but over the last couple of months, it’s turned me into a believer. All the trademarks of a great DMC game are there, from attitude to action, from visuals through to heart. And of course, let’s not forget those new weapons either, because it just wouldn’t be Devil May Cry without some wonderful new toys to play with.

Ghana just made a Devil May Cry movie

September 4, 2012 at 9:00 am | 32 Comments

You know, between all the talk of Uncharted and God of War attempting to reach the big screen, we often forget about other games that would be perfect on that format as well. Like Devil May Cry. It’ll be many, many years before we see that given the Hollywood treatment though, even though it would be ludicrously entertaining if handled right. Unless you live in Ghana that is, where the film has actually been made.

‘We understand why you got mad’ says Capcom about DmC

August 27, 2012 at 3:30 pm | 22 Comments

2013 is shaping up to be a real slobber-knocker of a year for new releases, with games such as Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider and Crysis 3 arriving. Top of my list though, is DmC, a new spin on the infamous franchise, but one with enough traditional elements thrown into it as well. When it was first shown, the reaction from fans was less than positive, bordering on the downright hostile at times to the way that Dante and his new world appeared. But that attitude has softened in recent months, something that Capcom is aware of, and understands.

DmC’s got some kick-ass combat

Last week, Capcom revealed that Dante’s brother Vergil would make his way in to Ninja theory’s westernised take on its combo-heavy fantasy brawler - but they also did something a little more important; show of a lot more gameplay than we’ve seen to date. the new Devil May Cry a game that has many people in two minds; It looks incredible but fans are worried that Ninja Theory hasn’t managed to nail the game’s most important aspect; its fast and frenetic combat.

The first game announced at the Capcom press event today was Devil May Cry, the upcoming remake from Ninja Theory. It looks like a sleek rollercoaster of fun, emotion and action so far, and it’s about to get even better, as Dante's twin brother, Vergil returned in the new footage shown.
