Capcom say that DMC4 will be demon-slaying onto the PC this summer, with a demo planned to be released before the retail date. It'll not only take advantage of the superior processing power of the PC but will feature two new modes of play; Turbo Mode and Legendary Dark Knight Mode.
We've published 9 new screenshots for Devil May Cry 4, which is in development by Capcom and is currently set for release on the PC. Devil May Cry 4 will be released in 2008.
Capcom has released a playable demo for Devil May Cry 4, giving gamers a chance to tryout the PC version. In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’s “Devil Bringer”. You can download the demo here.
The recent release DMC4 on PC is rather popular it seems but sadly not at the cash register as much as they'd like. It splashed in pirate waters at release. Capcom's Christian Svensson said he pushed "for digital distribution on the title" but HQ rejected the idea. The PC version can be visually superior to its console counterparts.
Capcom announced today that its Devil May Cry series has shipped over ten million copies worldwide. The more recent Devil May Cry 4 managed to gain sales of 2.2 million copies, beating Devil May Cry 2 as it sold 1.6 million copies, while the first game still holds the record with 2.5 million sales.
There's a possibility that Cambridge-based developer Ninja Theory are working on Devil May Cry 5, if a rumor from the latest issue of Game Informer is correct. Expect PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to be the likely platforms. This news comes weeks after the studio revealed that it was working on a "Secret project".
From what whispers magazine PSM3 have heard, the latest Devil May Cry that's being handled by Ninja Theory isn't out for two more years. At least it isn't on Capcom's two-year schedule anyway, but that doesn't "rule out a surprise" reveal at E3 2010 they say. Ninja won't confirm DMC5.
A brand new Devil May Cry trademarking has gone up in Japan from Capcom which most believe signals an imminent TGS announcement. Rumours peg Enslaved's Ninja Theory as the studio behind the new DMC instalment. Keiji Inafune has hinted a western team for DMC before.
Capcom have just announced fresh from their Tokyo Game Show event that a new Devil May Cry is indeed in the works, and with Ninja Theory. The Cambridge, UK studio is handling the Xbox 360 and PS3 title, although no release date exists yet. Dante is back but looks are most deceiving.
Hideki Kamiya, creator of Devil May Cry, says he misses the Dante he crafted for the series, adding he's "sad since Dante left me." DMC was at TGS. Ninja Theory is leading the all-new Devil May Cry with a younger Dante, who's all for breaking curfew and hooliganism. Kamiya-san isn't impressed much.
Capcom's Keiji Inafune has lashed out at fellow countrymen again in the Japanese videogames industry; they're "at least five years behind". He noted "everyone's making awful games" when he looked around this year's Tokyo Game Show. Capcom is "barely keeping up" with the West.
Sorry old timer but that Dante that built Devil May Cry "isn't cool anymore," said Tameem Antoniades of Ninja Theory. It must draw "on new things." The studio did have more "far out" designs for the new young Dante, like being shirtless. Capcom's Inafune said 'no'. DMC must "update and mature".
Enslaved developer Ninja Theory says everything about Devil May Cry requires the studio doing all "the things we love;" super fights and cinematics. They say it's a "very good fit". Ninja haven't tackled an established IP before, which enticed them more. UK studio has "a lot of synergy" with Capcom.
Those crafty Capcom bigwigs knew fans of Devil May Cry would be baited into getting all hot under the collar over Ninja Theory's Dante makeover. All the "discussion and dialogue" skyrocketed the "visibility of the title" versus same old Dante. This is an origin story of before we knew the guy.
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West developer Ninja Theory is hiring for a new console game they have in the works, and need "AAA title experience". The UK-based studio has been "growing into two teams" the past year. An Enslaved sequel is something they'd like so they're "mentally prepared".
Resident Evil movie maker Screen Gems has also landed the film rights to Capcom's Devil May Cry franchise, with scribe Kyle Ward penning the script. Screenwriter Ward is attached to the Kane & Lynch adaptation. Screen Gems has spun gold out of the Resident Evil films, raking in $580m globally.
Ninja Theory created Heavenly Sword but has since moved on to other projects leaving the PS3 exclusive series in limbo, but rumour has it with someone else. Heavenly Sword may get to see itself as a trilogy someday after all. Info on who has taken up the challenge remains scarce. The original cleared 1.5 million sales.
All Capcom's "major announcements" have been made at Captivate says Capcom US VP Christian Svensson. Fans of Devil May Cry will have to "wait and see." The 'reboot' title DMC which showcased last September at the Tokyo Game Show has been kept under wraps. Svensson asks to keep "expectations in check".
Gematsu is claiming that they have an inside source that yet another bundle remastering a classic PlayStation series will be coming to the PlayStation 3 - this time, it's the Devil May Cry games.
A live-action feature film starring Capcom's 10 million unit strong franchise Devil May Cry is in the works, with Los Angeles-based Screen Gems handling the project. Screenwriter Kyle Ward, who also wrote 'Hitman 2' and 'Kane & Lynch', is penning the script for Dante's arrival on the silver screen. Resi Evil did well so why not?
