![]() Critics praised the fun gameplay and art style of the game, but it ultimately ended up selling less than its predecessor worldwide.ĭmC contributed to a series of less-than-stellar moves for Capcom, and subsequently the franchise went away. The Purgatorio (Capcom Fades Away)Īfter DmC: Devil May Cry released, it actually generated favorable reviews. But even though they anticipated this backlash, they remained adamant that this will be the new Dante from then on. Dante was a beloved character in a popular franchise that seemingly didn't require a change. Even the creator of the series, Hideki Kamiya, was unimpressed going so far as to say this game was "missing" its protagonist. They were confused and unimpressed with the new "Punk Dante" redesign. So we were left with a game that only slightly appealed to both hardcore fans and new audiences alike.Īfter the launch of the first trailer, Ninja Theory were already having to stomp out fires among fans. Ultimately, the gameplay of the DmC reboot, while fun and unique, didn't fall in line with the trends of the wide western audience. Even though bigger and better western franchises were constantly captivating audiences. in order to maximize its potential in western markets. Capcom Japan gave the property over to Capcom U.S. The real problem was not really that this was Ninja Theory's first Devil May Cry game. Ninja Theory and Capcom started nailing their coffin the minute they went down the westernization road. The thing is though, Devil May Cry's anime-style Japanese hack and slash influence is what made the games so awesome. Apparently the original designs were inspired by characters from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. The Inferno (The Death of Dante)Īfter Devil May Cry 4, Capcom told its new developer Ninja Theory that they needed to reboot the franchise to appeal to younger audiences, which included altering the iconic main character of Dante to have less of a Japanese influenced design in favor of a more westernized version. That is until 2013 when they decided to reboot Devil May Cry. For a long time they were releasing games that were controversial for many reasons (don't gets us started about Resident Evil 6), and were relying on current fanbases to keep their franchises afloat. But Capcom's history before that was a little bit rocky. Resident Evil VII: Biohazard, Monster Hunter World, Resident Evil 2: Remake, and Mega Man 11 have all been stellar.
