Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition will determine if DMC5 is made, and with worthy Capcom devs

and DMC4 SE sales would also determine if DMC5 gets a AAA class budget. Would be phenomenol having Itsuno making another DMC masterpiece.

Is the DMC/Capcom fanbase going to let this series sink just like they let Darkstalkers be placed in the “irrelevant” shelf Capcom has back there?
(signatures don’t talk like money does. it’s embarrassing everyone requested Darkstalkers 4, but then were too cheap to buy Darkstalkers Resurrection
when Capcom was testing the waters before determining if Darkstalkers franchise is in big demand. Well everyone sure bought Resident Evil HD Remaster
even though it was practically the same story as the Gamecube version, just like 2 new costumes added, and yet it still sold over a million digitally,
breaking all digital store records.)

DMC4 SE marks the crossroads to which direction the series will go, or not go.

“This year Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition will make its way to PlayStation 4 with new modes, gameplay and visual improvements, and the largest roster of playable characters in any Devil May Cry game to date.”

playable Dante
playable Nero
*playable Vergil
*playable Lady
*playable Trish
*Legendary Dark Knight mode.
*a plethora of new costumes, which are fully compatible with in-game cutscenes
*new story cutscenes

  • 5 unique characters/movesets = 5 unique gameplay experiences.

DMC4 SE success would help the series get back on track. Will DMC4 SE sell more than DmC SE? it’s up to the communities.
Honestly, DMC4 SE should sell more than Resident Evil 6. at least DMC4 is faithful to the series.

and the best DMC tiers are:

DMC4 > DMC3:SE > DMC 1 > DMC2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DmC

or if you don’t like DMC4 the most:

DMC3: SE > DMC4 > DMC1 > DMC2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DmC

so DMC4SE can only be as good or better than DMC3:SE

If anyone has more DMC4 SE info they can share it here too.

Anyone here that is a DMC series fan, DMC franchise needs our support more than ever in the west. :slight_smile:
import sales won’t help localized sales, so people really should know the bigger market, the west, is
where the sales will have the most influence. Of course can’t depend on Japan market much since most over
there don’t have PS4/Xbox One, and most in that region don’t game on PC either.

So it’s up to the west to really show how much support and the demand the gamers have for this series,
like Resident Evil and Street Fighter received such faithful support from the consumers to keep development incentives strong
(RE got off track, but that’s because more people bought RE4 instead of Remake and Outbreak.)

If you disagree and expect more, like a physical release, well, you are harming the franchise with that nitpicky attitude.
Darkstalkers is a clear example how gamer entitlements and cookie cutter demands, don’t help a series like positive sales do.
If SF and RE fans were that picky on how they get their games, the series would have been dropped back in the ps3 gen.

**Obviously we aren’t going to just buy anything Capcom throws our way,

of course we are all smart enough to not waste money on anything DmC,

but for something like DMC4 SE, in my opinion that’s going to be the best day 1 purchase since DMC3:SE and DMC4.** :slight_smile:

So before you think of skipping this or importing, think about the future of DMC, if you consider yourself a DMC fan
and want DMC5 to be more like the proper series.

So this is a message from a DMC fan, if you think this is just marketing drivel, then I guess everyone that publicly expresses
their positive opinions and enthusiasm toward something, are marketers in some fashion.
**
Everyone decides if they’ll buy something and how they’ll buy it,

but like the franchises raised and the franchises left behind,

it’s really on the consumers hands where DMC goes from here, and affects how important this series is to Capcom,
which in turn determines whether fans get more of what they want out of DMC series, and help that legacy continue. **

And so DMC4:SE gets a digital only version in the West where consoles still matter, and DmC:DE gets a physical and digital release.

Lol @ people being too cheap to buy darkstalkers resurrection It was in the top ten sellers for its first few months out Capcom just keeps expecting games to do COD numbers

I got the physical release on pre order from Japan, stll gonna buy U.S. digital copy. Please let’s get this one to a million. Capcom needs to promote this shit lik ehell. Gonna be hard for people to hear about it because they can’t walk into a store and see it on shelves.

But yeah let’s get this shit man. This series fate is foreal in our hands

Capcom ain’t gonna promote shit… This one is squarely on the fans.

@DrellyFish, how’d you set up that pre-order? PM your boy so I can do the same.

I used that goody Japan site that was posted in the DmC thread. I can DM you a instructions in a bit. And yeah this is all on us to keep this series alive. Let’s do this shit !

waiting for SWBeta and ShogunZ to show up in this thread, LOL

I got something for them when they get here…

po, you are too fucking hardcore… LOL!
sticks a bag of popcorn in the microwave and rubs palms together
looking forward to some salt on these…

Nah son… This is about saving the franchise. I ain’t got time to be debating with morons and trolls.

It’s all about the REAL DEVIL MAY CRY making a comeback… Although I don’t trust Capcom will do the right thing, even if this sold 5 mil.

Check your PM Po, I tried explaining as best as possible it’s pretty easy. But yeah the series future rides on this, and it’s clear these niggas was probably plottin on a DmC 2 which is why they even re-released the shit at retail anyway ON TOP of releasing it before DMC4: SE

oh yeah, for sure. DMC “classic” is the only series that matters. heck, i even shelled out for the 5th anniversary edition for PS2 years ago. it had DMC1, 2 and 3 SE as a boxed set. now it’s a fucking paperweight.

inb4 “Fans didn’t care enough”

I hate how they keep trying to pull this shit to hype sales for a re-release. It’s a terrible way to “gauge” the market because fans already have the game. Of course, it’s nice that there is a bunch of extras in pretty much the best and most free-form DMC game, so fans will probably buy it just for that. Knowing Capcom though, they’ll claim there wasn’t enough sales to garner interest for a new game, having suckered a bunch of people to buy a different game instead.

This is true although I feel that it MIGHT be different this time as DMC is a more modern on going franchise than something like Darkstalkers. Sometimes that shit can be a gauge like for RE HD that game is pretty old so people probably didn’t have it anymore.

DMC 4 is last gen and most people would still have it assuming they don’t trade in shit and all that. But I swear these niggas better not be bullshitting. and if the game is a DmC2 regardless of it it played like a DMC5 should’ve it’d still be bullshit as fans were more than vocal they didn’t like that direction it went in.

But again this it Itsuno who’s the last known nigga at Capcom besides Ono so I’m sure he will delivery so if anything goes wrong I’d assume it is other’s at Capcom’s fault instead of Itsuno himself

They should’ve never gave the Japanese Kickstarters

Well, the good thing is that DmC: DE sold poorly so DmC2 is never happening joy.gif
Now is the time for the fanbase to speak loud and clear on what we want.

Any numbers on how much it sold? If I remember the vanilla release didn’t break a mil but I think Capcom tried to say “a mil shipped” to damage control but yeah whatever. Our wallets gotta talk to this time like foreal. This the only ongoing series from Capcom that I actually give a fuck about besides RE sorta

They better not pull some Darkstalkers shit where they expect the game to sell like 2 million copies. I want DMC5 so bad. I’ve been waiting for that shit for over 7 years now.

Man the Darkstalkers situation really sucks. Because I’m sure low sales were due to simply that’s a game that’s fanbase are FGC niggas. It doesn’t have mainstream or casual appeal like SF or MK.

I feel Capcom should’ve just made a 4 and took the risk. Look at how SF, MK, and Marvel came back. Yeah those are all big names but still. There was a huge new life in the FG genre where shit like Blazblue, and etc was able to come up. I’m sure an all new Darkstalkers would’ve did fine
