    You can criticize Drew Coombs' voice acting in DMC1 all you like, but you have to admit that he put more emotion into his performance than a lot of people did at that time.

  • @CruelestChris
    @CruelestChris 9 лет назад +441

    The story goes that Capcom hadn't been expecting DMC1 to sell (like, at all), were surprised by the success and wanted a sequel chop-chop, so grabbed a random third-person action game they had in development and told the devs to stick Dante in it. DMC2 was originally a Tomb Raider knockoff starring Lucia, hence the emphasis on gun combat.

    • @ThierryRocksTV
      @ThierryRocksTV 9 лет назад +88

      CruelestChris It all makes sense now! The funny thing is, is that I never even played DMC2 as a kid. I loved 1 loads but one day we saw DMC3 at the shop so we decided to get it. My dad must have never shown me 2 because it was on one of my memory cards and I found a copied disc version in the attic.

    Regarding the "things that would have made sense in the Japanese version" comment, you might be surprised to know that the Devil May Cry series was always voiced in English, even in Japan. Capcom had a thing for that; Resident Evil/Biohazard was also voiced in English. They just put Japanese subtitles in so non-English-speakers could understand.
    That might sound a bit weird, but more Japanese folks have a working knowledge of English than native English-speakers have a working knowledge of Japanese. DMC didn't get Japanese voice actors until the twelve-episode anime, and the first game in the series to have Japanese acting, I believe, is DMC4: Special Edition.
    The scene with Dante and Agnus doing the stage acting thing is actually making fun of the way Agnus acts so melodramatic and theatrical in every scene he's in. Pay attention to the way he moves and talks, he always acts like he's an actor on stage. Dante just rips into him for it... and Agnus plays along. Ha!

      Ah, thanks!
      But, he said it was fine, not that he liked it. Personally, I thought his statement came off as "Developer Courtesy" from his relationship with DMC staff, opposed to genuinely liking it.
      Eh, I can understand it being interpreted either way.
      I've seen fans defend DMC2. Hell, I've seen a multi-part vid defending DMC2 when the comparisons with DmC rolled around.

      @MegaPhilX 10 лет назад

      Thanks Zero for the link! ^_^ Regardless, it's probably not something Alex should have said considering he had hundreds of pissed off DMC fans to convince that he was doing a good job at the time. It just proves this game had the worst PR work ever.
      I remember when DMC2 came out. I tried to comvince myself it was alright but even the young naive fan I was couldn't do that. ( :

    • @Potidaon
      @Potidaon 8 лет назад +145

      +Andy Actually, Itsuno (the director of DMC2, 3 and 4) only took over as director of DMC2 late in development after the original director quit.
      He's an extremely talented developer, having worked on the Street Fighter Alpha series and CvS1, co-directed Rival Schools and Power Stone, and directed Star Gladiator, Power Stone 2, Project Justice, CvS2, One Piece Mansion and Auto Modellista before he started working on DMC2. So it's probably safe to say he is not to blame for DMC2 being as bad as it was.

    • @Galdr
      @Galdr 8 лет назад +1

      Yeah. I hope they have been working on it since last year. I would rather they work on it and flesh it out to be the game that it _deserves_ to be rather than, pardon my language, half-ass it. There should be no DLCs unless it's for maybe some add-ons to make the game better, rather than "this extra side story will tell another story!" sort of content. Everything, story-wise, should be obtainable/included in the full game; this way, the consumers won't feel cheated out of their money.
      tl;dr version: I just want this to be a complete game and don't want this DMC5 to be like Sonic 06 (unfinished/rushed to meet deadline, etc.)

      @321cheeseman 6 лет назад +2

      That sort of thing actually isn't uncommon at all, especially in the past.
      The West got the harder versions of BattleToads, Rocket Knight Adventures, Castlevania III, Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship of Doom, Contra Hard Corps, Dynamite Headdy, Streets of Rage 3, Resident Evil, and Donkey Kong Country.
      Also, Devil May Cry 3 isn't the only game in the series with regional difficulty differences. The original Devil May Cry in the West has you dealing only 80% damage and taking an additional 20% damage from enemies on all modes. These differences are not present in the HD Collection. Might also be worth noting that the original's somewhat stupid control scheme was only present in the west iirc.

    -and eventually allowing lady to join into the fight (with a comback of trish as a playable character...

      So here is my speculation on what could have happen:
      1) it's actually true and they planned it but screw up with the timeline ,just like they did with resident evil ( Wesker obtained his powers around the year 1999 if I am not mistaken so its impossible for Jake to have more than 14 years old since resident evil 6 took place in 2013...*unless he was born way before and got injected something by wesker)...
      2) They didn't planed what they were doing and were flipfloping on the issue,that could be true considering that slash crapcom did on the budget and the time require for the development...
      3) its not true but they wanted the raise contreversie and debate regarding that subject....

      Mr Josef I have had my share of speculations as to Nero's connection with Vergil. I heard they're developing a DMC 5 which goes back to the original storyline and not the shit reboot DmC. Maybe we can hope for some explanation there as well as some character building in Nero's part/

    Just finished the first game. Had a lot of fun with it. Then realised I got pretty much all c and d ranks.. that hurt, but didn’t make me sad. It just encourages me to get better at the game which is something rare, when I finish a game I’m mostly content but I think I’ll keep at this one. Maybe some day I’ll be consistent enough to get a s rank on a mission lol.

      rmhanzel Dmc2 was fucking terrible. I actually gave the piece of shit a chance before judging it like other people and no matter how hard I tried to like it....it just fucking sucked. They had a few good elements integrated for sure but they took the cheap and lazy route to make a quick buck. Its funny because it looks like it'd be the first game release in the entire franchise from its shittier graphics and movement system. Don't even get me started on the awful combat, somehow it was worse than dmc1 in that area. I couldn't even finish the thing that's how stupid it was to me. I did like the DT customization that was definitely nice and the Majin form was pretty cool too actually. This game is just you shooting shitty enemies the entire game. I honestly wish they could go back and revamp everything and change some of the story along with the awful system to make it a worthy successor to 1 but it'll never happen and I'd rather see 5 anyway

      I haven't played any DMC Games, but with 5 coming out, I might play them if I can get my hands on them. So from this video, here's impressions I'm getting from each :
      DMC 1: Dated, but still holds up fairly well
      DMC 2: Probably should skip it....
      DMC 3: Seems like the best.
      DMC 4: Seems worth a shot.
      Are there any disagreements or suggestions?

      +D MAS Dante can't know how good a game he is in, anyway. So it doesn't matter... However still it would've confused many people, including me - and could easily be taken out of context - something more thought-out, like a hint of DMC2 and then the line would have done the trick. Again, it would be rather unethical to have a pejorative innuendo towards the development team...

    • @lugbzurg8987
      @lugbzurg8987 5 лет назад +1

      Ok, looking back at all this, and how I've seen people declare that DMC3 was essentially an "apology" for DMC2, it's interesting to note that the very first thing out of Dante's mouth is simply the word "Sorry". I wonder if that was intentional.

    @Xqvvzts 10 лет назад +45

    Am i the only one who *liked* the backtracking from DMC 4? Aside for the lvl 19 ofc.
    Fighting the same bosses as Dante felt vastly different than doing that as Nero and gave us the opportunity to approach the bosses with both characters. In fact i was a bit dissapointed when i realized that the only way to fight Credo as Dante was to go through ~80lvl of Blood Palace.

    • @Aladelicous
      @Aladelicous 9 лет назад +3

      Can't say I enjoyed the backtracking, mainly cause I didn't enjoy going through the levels the first time as Nero. Now, the combat is fantastic, needless to say, it's just that I felt like I was running through endless hallways most of the time before I could get to fight enemies.I don't mind the long walks every once in a while, but in 4 I felt they overdid it.

    • @Xqvvzts
      @Xqvvzts 9 лет назад

      Aladelicous Well, that's not really a backtracking thing then, is it? More of a problem with level design itself.

    I laughed so hard during your review of 3...you know, every time you kept dying. XD That's me currently, on Hard Mode. And I agree; 2 is pretty terrible. But, that's because they had to do a rush job, and didn't have the financing (not to mention they switched from Hideki Kamiya to Hideaki Itsuno without giving him any time to get acquainted with the story, and such). He did well with 3 and 4, at least. ^^; 4 is my favourite (it's pretty damn close between it and 3). I do understand everyone's agitation at having to go through all the same levels with Dante that we do with Nero. Despite that, I still love it. However, I won't touch the reboot with a fifty-foot pole, never mind a ten-foot one. :/ I loved your review of that one, as well. I cracked up so hard.

  • @madmaxim3965
    @madmaxim3965 3 года назад +1

    What I loved about devil may cry is your progress as a player and if dmc 1 is your first dmc you get a more streamlined progression of your skills along with the game and future ones. Facing the spider boss the first time and dying over and over and then going and buying streak and just barely winning.. then coming back for another playthru after playing all the games and then annihilating that same spider boss that gave you problems before is now a cakewalk and it's all because you as a player improved your skills the game didn't level you up or increase your strength for you and that's s rare feeling in video games

    I miss the Dante of DMC1, Itsuno deserves praise for putting the series “back on track” after 2 but I’ve been playing them all for the first time and the jump from 1 Dante to 3 Dante is absurd. I thought it was because he was young but it didn’t change after that. The presentation is also much different in what I’d call a lateral movement. Not what I was expecting after the amazing time I had in 1

    I appreciate that the developers were at least trying to bring something new to the combat with Nero, but as a character, I can't say there's anything wrong with him, but that's about all I can say, he's just "meh", nothing to make him unlikable or annoying, but no personality traits to make him memorable.

    • @felphero
      @felphero 10 лет назад +10

      The thing is, DMC4 is not bad it's actually pretty good, but feels it's lackin, we have this great gameplay mechanics but not much time and stages to use it; you can see how this game was probably really rushed in gameplay (Nero have little combo variety), in types of enemies, in the plot (they don't even say a fucking word about how Nero got his devil arm), and also in levels, I mean fuck, Dante doesn't even have levels of his own it's pretty much all Nero's levels backwards, I'm 100% someone upstairs made they just rush the fuck out of the game

    • @dragonstormx
      @dragonstormx 10 лет назад +3

      What I think would have worked best with regards levels and using characters is that the game should have let the player use both Dante and Nero from the start like with X and Zero in X4 and 5, let them pick and choose who they want make the transition easier people not used to the traditional gameplay Dante brings.

Then, i would completely SLACK on the 2nd report card, KNOWING i would gt in trouble, but i was thinking about how my rewards would be so much on the 3rd report card because i thinking ahead. And it always worked, i would purposely fluctuate my grades so i could get what i wanted as long as i played it right

    The HD remasters dont give off that classic vibe of having dat low resolution, edge infested graphics of a good ol PS2 :3

      Agreed...that's why when I play my PS2, I make sure it's on a TV from the times that the PS2 was around....like a Panasonic 32 inch TV....

      Dafuq kind of nostalgic analogy is this?

      I disagree. I really love the HD Collections on PS3. They really feel like enhanced PS2 games. Trust me, I understand where you're coming from and perhaps I'd stick with playing on PS2 if I had a standard definition TV, but I don't and they're tough to come by and insanely heavy. I still get nostalgic from playing something like the HD Collections, FF XII: Zodiac Age, or the PS2 games on PS4. Probably because PS2 era games are unique, creative, and awesome, generally speaking. Hell of a lot better than the 2 console generations we've had since, that's for sure.

      the thing is, back in the days of non-flat TVs, games were made with certain properties of the displaying technology in mind. when you transfer it to digital, the game needs to be cleaned up and additional effects updated. So both versions end up ''fine'' (given the remaster wasn't a con job) - but there is a difference.
      I prefer to play it on my PS2 on an old TV, and for everyone who would like to try it out, make sure the TV doesn't flicker, or change brightness randomly (it can cause headaches and/or strain your eyes badly).

    DMC4 didn't suffer from lack of ideas, it suffered from lack of production time. Originally, Dante's path was gonna be a track through hell, where he would fight Pandora, Gilgamesh, and Lucifer, which is why his weapons have those names. But, deadline approached, and they ended up having to recycle all the shit they had just to finish the game.
    Shame really, sounded like a cool idea.

      That sounds really amazing. Just imagining bosses with those names gives me some cool images.

    The audio in the Dante's Office scene in DMC3 is out of sync, and yes, it's infinitely infuriating.

    the devil may cry series seems to excel heavily in a certain thing in each game
    DMC1 has one of the best atmospheres in any game i've seen,
    DMC2 is simply put one the most infamous ways on how not to make a sequal
    3 has some of the best gameplay in any game, and is one of the hardest games ever
    4 has some of the best graphics ever and dont seem to age at all
