There’s also his ‘Devil Bringer’ arm which can be used to grab and throw enemies, as well as latch onto magic skulls and swing around the scenery. His mix of gun and sword combat is similar but Nero’s abilities have a different focus, with a sword he can rev like a motorbike throttle. A year after Devil May Cry 4 saw the launch of Bayonetta by Hideki Kamiya, the director of the first Devil May Cry, and since then it’s Platinum’s Umbran witch that has dominated this nameless sub-genre of fast-paced, highly technical third person brawler.Īlthough you do still get to play as series regular Dante (in his original white-haired look, not the unlikeable waif of DmC) most of the game is spent as new character Nero. In fact until the controversial DmC reboot, which also recently got its own remake, this was the last Devil May Cry to be made. So while Devil May Cry 3 is widely regarded as the best of the series, and Devil May Cry 1 is more historically important, it’s only the last gen entries that are getting a second chance in the limelight.ĭevil May Cry 4 is by no means a bad game, even if by this point the franchise was beginning to feel a little tired. It’s much cheaper and easier to create a remake of a recent game than an older one which is why even the most lauded PS one games rarely get remastered, even while more forgettable last gen games are quickly repackaged and remade.
The three newly added characters in the special edition are essentially the same as some kind of official mod. Most of the cutscenes are borrowed from Nero/Dante. Although three characters have been expanded, the standard plot is still based on the original Nero/Dante line, Virgil + Letty/Tracey line… just understand the plot at the beginning and the end, the middle one.
