It will always amaze me how well Devil May Cry 3 and 4's cutscenes hold up production wise. And of course, going back through them is a blast. DMC 3's story is simple, yet effective; Uncle Dante trolling the fuck out of everyone is always a good time; and even though Nero's story is a bit too melodramatic for my liking in a DMC game, it's well choreographed, well shot, and Nero is still pretty likeable (especially considering what we got in DmC and Vergil's Downfall). Really gets me hyped again for seeing what they have in store for DMC 5.
So how about that new Dynasty Warriors 9 gameplay reveal?

I haven't played a musou game in ages, but that's... ahhh, ahmmm... looks the same I guess?
maybe a bit flashier with better visuals, but still musou nonetheless.
dunno what I was expecting tbh, but good for musou fans I suppose.

Whoa, can't believe it's already been two years since the SE came out.

They never said that they'll be abandoning 1vs100 element of the game (they said the opposite actually). I think with Dynasty Warriors 9, the thing that matters is the way you execute attacks and combos. Hopefully the changes that they've made will make that part feel better and have more depth.
Sounds like someone needs to make a thread.
Would be an excuse to post some swag Vergil combo videos.

I've already double dipped on DMC4 back in the day, having bought both versions for 360 and PS3 respectively so i never bothered to pay for a third, almost full-buck SE release just for some extra cutscenes, skins and the other playable guys. I might do so if there's another 80% sale or if they give it as PS Plus freebie. I though admit that the JP audio track is intriguing, i hope that DMC5 will have dual audio like many recent jp games like FFXV, P5 and Nier.
Happy 2ND anniversary, 4SE.
DMC4SE was a bargain budget release at $25. I think it's a no brainer given how a single character can lead to tens to hundreds of hours of play alone.
Admittedly my perspective might be a bit warped since I've probably purchased over 40 copies of DMC4 in various forms over the years.

They'd do both, just like with 4SE. Count on it.
English always took priority for DMC anyway.
Price is 25€ on the EU PSN, still too high after two years. The Demon Hunter bundle with all unlockables costs 36€. As i said i'll probably wait for another bargain sale or so, i'd happily take DMC4 over almost half of the current "action" -insert storytelling clones- releases out there.
Well I am talking about the first even DMC5 trailer.. it's either going to be in English or Japanese.
If it's at PSX then for sure it's going to be in English but if somehow Capcom wants to rush it out TGS it might be in Japanese.
Gotcha. As for what they play on the big stage, I'd think English would still take precedence just based on series history, but I guess it could be a venue decision.
Regardless we'll get both a Japanese and English announcement trailer on Youtube that day.

Pull shit off like this in DMC 4:
Is like... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM so good!

Same as me I think, generally made an account to talk more about dmc.

That makes three of us. It would be a welcome surprise to reveal DMC5 at TGS but I doubt it.

Remember how hyped we all were for E3 2015 because surely Capcom had to have an announcement for the franchise with two remasters?
And then they ignored the 15th anniversary. And now we're 3 E3s later with no announcement.

I can't wait to see what Itsuno and co have come up for DMC5 and will be there day 1 but there is no denying that the way Capcom has handled this series is anything short of fucked up.
I just hope there is no DMC4 level of re-purposing the game because of new HD generation and having to port to a new console. I hope that every ounce of time and hard work that went into the game has been utilized well unlike DMC4 where they had to scrap stuff because of the awkward transition.
Itsuno's tweet of "smooth development" is the biggest sigh of relief. That tells me that they have a vision for the game and they are going through it as best as they can.
It's probably me reading too much into PR lip service talk but I will suspend my disbelief this one time.
Remember guys... the night is darkest just before the dawn.

2 years eh? Just another 0.5 and we'll hit that apparent 2.5 years development time, which brings us to December. PSX is in December.
Poetry of full circle. The long game. All according to keikaku.

Just imagine all this wait is because Devil May Cry 5 is being developed on...Panta ReiOne can dream of course
You mean the piece of shit engine that made it so Deep Down has been MIA for over four years and has basically screwed Capcom this entire generation by not being finished?
My bet is on the updated MT Framework version that MHW uses. That engine might not the best for open sandbox environments, but it works wonders on closed levels and 60fps. DMC4SE looks like as it was released yesterday at certain scenes, and almost better and more polished than modern releases like Nier Automata on others.

I doubt DMC5 will be a closed levels kind of game anymore. With current gen games shifting towards open world design, at the very least I expect DMC5 to have like a hub world and its levels to be more interconnected.
Yeah I'll be surprised if Itsuno returns to DMC4's structure, after he developed an open world game. If a DMC game is to survive today, it needs to change. And Capcom better have low-ish sales expectations too, for once.
Besides, Nier has shown that a stylish action game can work in an open world environment.DMC4's "story campaign" was shit, so I definitely don't want that anyway.

When it comes to performance, I think it depends on how visually detailed the game is, how dense is the world (are there lots of NPC and such) and what engine they are using. But yeah, as long as they manage to hit solid 60fps on base PS4, I don't care about what effects that version might be missing. Yakuza 0 and Nioh managed to do that, so hopefully Itsuno will find a way to do it as well.
And yeah, I don't think anyone will miss DMC4's structure. Especially if they replace it with a sandbox like environment like Bloodborne or Nier. Though, I'm a bit nervous that they might do something radically different that may not sit well with DMC fans. Like, can you imagine if we get a GoW like over the shoulder camera in DMC5? Man...

was it? the one from uh, i think it was like last year's gamescom or something? i think the post got deleted once it didn't get announced, but that updated MT framework thing is just an eyebrow raiser since at that point nobody really expected 'em to be using that engine for any modern game again
also i'll be the weirdo who misses DMC1-4 structure- i fucking love the arcade style setup of progression and having every fight be it's own unique thing to some degree, even if it's basically just a filler fight (like the stairwell stuff in Drive! for dmc3- you can just run past but boy howdy that environment makes for some sick as hell wallrun combos)
I said just imagine
I know Panta Rei is a peace of shit of an engine, but theres no denying its a graphical powerhouse and Devil May Cry would look damn hot.Since we're all just spinning wheels waiting for TGS, PSX and Capcom to get asked questions about DMC they'll just answer "we would love to but we can't say right now" to, here's e-celebrity and YouTube superstar George Weidman of hit channel Super Bunnyhop talking about game novels, including the original Devil May Cry novel by Shin-ya Gokeida.

By the time we get the next DMC it should be called Geriatric May Cry. Gonna be playing as Nero's kids helping old great uncle Dante up the Devil May Cry steps at this rate.
Works even better.
Even a geriatric may cry when he finally gets to play a top class stylish action game.

Lol, good call Goleni.
Before the announcement at PSX we're gonna see Western localizations of Yakuza Kenzan and Ishin, Shenmue 1 + 2 HD, Medievil remake, Crash Team Racing remake, a re-reveal of Tarsier Studio's canceled City of Metronome which is actually coming out, an Alundra 3 by Matrix Software, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold + 3 HD Online, and a reveal that Garou 2 is actually being finished and coming out on PS4 and PC.

DMC5 is probably gonna be more ambitious than we might think given how much time they're spending on developing it. It is crazy though Bayonetta and Vanquish made it to PC before DMC5 was announced.
Uh...two years or thereabouts of development isn't anything special.
We don't actually know how long it has been in development. I have been hearing about DMC5 in development since before DMC4SE's announcement. Of course what matters is the actual development time of relevant content, not pre-design stuff. For all we know full scale development started last year once they ironed out the details and stuff.
DMC4 was in development for 5+ years technically but it looked like the final product was worked on in half the amount of time. The rest of the time was spent on pre-design that was thrown in the way side or time spent converting DMC4 into multiple platforms.
