DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition Reviews

[sssensational]

Just thought I'd create a thread solely dedicated to reviews that are posted for the game.

IGN: Find our why DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition made us shed tears of joy 8.9

It's funny how IGN gave the last gen version an 8.9 as well.

Anyway, if you spot some more reviews, feel free to share them.

All the major review sites are up on Metacritic now:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/dmc-devil-may-cry-definitive-edition

Interestingly not many publications have reviewed the Xbox 1 edition.

The Metacritic is 86, about the same as before. I don't see that changing unless a lot of X1 reviews come in awarding high 9s and 10s.

Aside from that, we knew the game was about that level from PS3/360. Having not played DE yet, I can't say how I would rate it myself. Yet the review scores are impressive none the less.

9 out of 10 from Gamespot.

8.6 - 9 so far on reviews. Well we all know maths and how you round up. So it seems like a solid 9/10.

 

[Demi-fiend]

I don't care what anyone says; I'm giving DmCDE a personal score of 10 out of 10.

I can't wait to see what Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition will be like when it comes out in the Summer!!!!

 

[Demi-fiend]

Um... that's great and all, but you might wanna head on over to this thread to discuss that.

It's good to here that DmC: Definitive Edition is being received well. It did address many of my criticisms of the original game, so I'll probably get a copy of it at some point. I mean, I'm more or less just looking forward to Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, but still, I'll give credit where credit is due.

9 out of 10 from Gamespot.

"A bonafide hack-n'-slash classic."
Ohooooo booooy...raise that tower shield, because you're going to need it to withstand the hail of fiery fanboy arrows.

 

[absolitude]

"DmC already had one of the most elegant combat-control schemes of any action game to date"

couldn't agree more, it's still the best for me

 

[sssensational]

I'll gladly have more new games that play like DmC.

I mean I love the action-adventure games and the occasional shooters, but how many times to we get a good hack and slash?

It's not a mainstream genre, that's why we don't get many. The only franchises that can afford the luxury of seeing multiple installments are the most popular (and best selling), meaning God of War and Devil May Cry.

 

[absolitude]

yep, it's a luxury, that's why games like DMC, DmC, Lords of Shadows are gems --subjectively the best in the genre, i'll promote them however i can so more people are playing and hopefully more of the genre are being made..

EDIT : i forgot MGRR

I give Lords of Shadow an enthusiastic recommendation and a "F*** Yeah!" out of 10.

I LOVE the Lords of Shadow Trilogy (Lords of Shadow 1, Mirror of Fate (HD) & Lords of Shadow 2), granted no games are perfect, I defenitely enjoyed these games to the fullest, plus Gabriel/Dracula, Trevor/Alucard and Simon were all badass to play as (And the Belmonts were amazing, even though there were FAR less than the classic series, which was confusing).

 

[Judge]

Lords of Shadow 1 was a badass game. Wish we had more games like that.

can you guys imagine a DMC/DmC with cinematic and story driven direction the way LoS did? i suppose there you go, a perfect game.. and would love to see these 3 rising developers work together, mercury steam, Ninja Theory and Dontnod (remember me), three of them are exceptional in their own way, with the fact they're new in the business..

oh and, @sssensational , i forgot to watch footages closely and my internet is currently on slow mode, was with the lock-on on we walk the way original games did or are we still able to run?

I'm a believer of the 'too many cooks spoil the broth' notion. I think give one studio free reign to do what they want; if you involve too many studios they all want things done their own way and it never works imo.

The thing I think Ninja Theory need to look at with Lords of Shadow is the database entries. The beauty of Lords of Shadow was how the database entries and the monologues in the game communitcated the world mythology to the player.

When you find scrolls on dead soliders and they fill in a peice of the world's history, its that type of depth Ninja Theory needed with DmC. You can have plenty of cutscenes, but it helps to have more than that to give the player that feeling they are completely immersed in the world.

Hope they are watching this and take it on board for future work. It was needed or DmC, imo.
