if you liked 3 and 4 stay the hell away from the new one it's being made by ninja theory, who made heavenly sword and enslaved: odyssey to the west. the story's about ~Evil Media~, it's a complete reboot of the franchise, they changed dante to look like the lead designer (at capcom's insistence that he not look like old dante), it's being made with unreal engine 3, which means a 30fps limit (which is terrible for action games) and it looks really shitty and brown. and on top of all that, they screwed up DMC's combat. which is the most heinous thing they could ever do.
bonus: have a video about how they fucked dante as a character in general, not just as dante
I like how all of this is said before the game was released. There is change, boo hoo. New battle system is great and his character is absolute shit. The graphics look above par and the game is running 60 on PC's I liked all of the previous DMC's and i am still excited for this one More for gameplay than anything
new battle system is worse than every DMC but 2. then again, DMC is really hard to match. but I'm still really confused about why they needed to label this as a devil may cry game
