To called myself Devil May Cry fan is a bit of an understatement as i absolutely loved everything about the original Devil May Cry game, it's still my favourite Playstation2 game of all time. Devil May Cry was probably Capcom best spin-off from the Resident Evil franchise back then when they were still experimenting with the formula to see how far they can deviate from it. The game made a big impression with it's gothic atmosphere and character design, but more importantly how fluid controlling the main protagonist Dante was. A testament to how good an action game should be is when any enemies, even the ordinary ones are able to kill you if you are not careful, something which the original Devil May Cry possess and no other action games, even it's sequel is able to replicate.It firmly cemented Hideki Kamiya as my favourite game developer as he would go on to craved up more hits like Viewtiful Joe and Okami. Anyways going back to Devil May Cry, i lost interested with the series through the years and sequels though the prequel Devil May Cry 3 managed to win me over again, the fact that the series may never being the hands of Hideki or even surpass the original remains a concern for me.
The final straw was when Capcom decided it's high time to replace Dante as the main protagonist of the series and later announced that the fourth installment will be going cross-platform to Microsoft XBOX360.With the release of Devil May Cry 4, the development team for DMC2 and DMC3 attempts once again to take the series further to new heights but this jaded fan will not be able to learn first-hand how good this installment will be since i don't have a Playstation3 as of yet. Then again, would i want to subject my brand new sixaxis/dualshock3 controller to the mercy of Devil May Cry 4 infamous difficulty?
