The action here can be engaging, certainly, but definitely feels old. The story is as goofy and absurd as ever, of course, and for those who like that kind of thing (or preferred the old DMC games to the reboot), that’s probably a comfort.Īt the time, the combo-heavy gameplay felt fast and fluid (and to some extent that’s still true), but there’s no getting around the fact that the reboot improves the series in every way. It’s entirely focused on style over substance, with absurd amounts of game-jarring cinematic sequences that break the pacing up almost constantly. It’s the quintessential example of everything wrong with Japanese game development.ĭMC4 was a game designed purely to latch onto the nostalgia of the series, but so laden with cliché, stereotypes, and redundant gameplay that it sinks under its own ponderous weight. First released in 2008, DMC4 is mostly remembered as having an exceedingly long install time on previous console generations, but also as the death knell of the long-running series. Given the relative success of the new-gen port of the rebooted DMC, Capcom is taking a chance on nostalgia with Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition.
