To Dante’s surprise Nero holds his own and this is in part due to a really cool weapon he has called the ‘Devil Bringer’. The same holds true today with the Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition.”
_ “The original Devil May Cry 4 game, which was released 7-years ago, included stunning visuals, terrific sound and enjoyable gameplay. With everyone getting their asses handed to them Nero is ordered to delay Dante while reinforcements make their way back to take Dante out. As he sits in the opera house Dante busts through the glass window above the stage where he mortally wounds Santcus, the High Priest of The Order of the Sword. The game opens up with a beautiful song sung by Nero’s love interest Kyrie. This way you don’t have to worry about knowing a lot of back story on Dante and other characters. The great positive for newcomers to the DMC series is that DMC4 include the new character Nero on whom the bulk of the story focuses on. Music in a game that can set the scene with a few chilling notes before a boss spawns or create an atmosphere that really gets your skin crawling gets a huge thumbs up. As always, I enjoy the ups and downs that most musical scores bring to a game and DMC4 does theirs masterfully. There are great sound effects and techno music emanate throughout the game to create the atmosphere that can only be described as demonic. The game is supported by a veteran voice cast, Johnny Yong Bosch of Power Rangers fame, voices Nero. Much like the graphics there has been no updates or upgrades in the sound portion of the game. This in no way is meant to be a slight against the game itself as the graphics are solid even 7 years later. Aside from perhaps loading faster I couldn’t really tell a difference between the two versions. I watched some YouTube videos of some of the gameplay and animated scenes to compare the graphics. Some may wonder why it’s an updated version rather than an upgraded version because all the developers did was add some new features and they didn’t touch anything in the graphics department. Instead of scrapping it, Capcom decided to turn it into something new which was definitely a good business move.ĭevil May Cry 4 (DMC4): Special Edition is an updated version from the 2008 release for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC which scored well with a Metacritic of 84.
After some research, I was surprised to learn that it was originally intended to be a Resident Evil spin off but it was determined during the development process to be something that didn’t belong in the Resident Evil universe.
Having never played a single title in the Devil May Cry (DMC) series may seem blasphemous to some gamers, but in truth it was always a title that eluded me over the years.
