DmC Definitive Edition for PS4 & Xbox One

[DragonMaster2010]

Just picked up my copy a few days ago Cant wait to break it open, but im torn between starting the DE or finishing the HD collection first lol

Finish the HD collection first

 

[Blade8513]

@Judge @DragonMaster2010 : Lol I should have checked back in sooner, I ended up starting DE first, ill be forever finishing the HD Collection since I put it down in the middle of DMC1 and even that game where I left off is leagues harder than DmC so I decided I would go ahead and knock out the DE then jump back into the HD Collection since its going to take me forever to finish the first 3 games lol

Or, you can just swap back and forth like I do. Playing both DmC and the older titles like I do.

I would if I had the skills lol see DmC was the first game in the series I actually played when it came out, and then I got the HD collection and DMC1 straight kicked my ass lol I might do better if I just stick to one at a time until I improve

I'd just play DE until I mastered Must Style Mode on GMD Turbo...

The HD Collection isn't bad, but they changed things. DMC 1 is generally a bit easier than its PS2 original.

I actually just bought the HD collection. It was on discount on PS3 and I thought well, I guess I said I'd play them sooner or later. I actually want to start with the 2nd one, just to see what all the fuss is about. But then again, someone here mentioned his favorite Dante was in DMC1. But then again, DMC3. Ah, I'll just start it up when I can and see what happens.

I want to upload all boss fights of DE on GMD on YouTube, but I refuse to do so without a proper capture card. I've been uploading in 30fps 720p and that's just... no.

I would play 1 to 3 in that order. DMC1 is my faviourite of the old games, but the combat is not as proficent as DMC3, so you'll be disapointed if you start with DMC3 and end with DMC1. You won't enjoy DMC1's combat as much.

DMC1 is awesome though. The atmosphere is what sets it appart from the others imo. Dante is awesome in that game as well.

Really? I did start with 3 since I'd like to play it in the right order. But I think I should be fine if I 'lower' my standards in terms of gameplay. I think I might like DMC1 regardless.

 

[Chancey289]

DMC 1 is still my favorite, and I still love playing it.

I mean, I quite like the old DMC games. But the camera angles man...

welcome to the early 2000's.

DMC1's camera was pretty hard to get used to, but because of the simplistic nature of the combat (and exploitive nature of the bosses), I never found it to be that much of the problem...especially with the significant role your firearms played.

DMC3, on the other hand...SIGH...
You'd think that a faster and a more demanding combat system would mean acquiring a better camera...but, no. Same obnoxious RE camera angles, made all the more nauseous by how fast Dante moves, causing it to swerve and jive like the camera-man's a drunken swine.

welcome to the early 2000's.

...unless your name's Ninja Gaiden.

 

[DragonMaster2010]

...unless your name's Ninja Gaiden.

In which case, welcome to hell. where the lube is your blood, sweat, and tears.

True the camera was pretty shocking for the previous games. Offscreen deaths from enemies was annoying, yet like another person said, DMC1's simplistic nature made that tollerable.

Something else I'm giving up on. Gods Must Die mode, I simply don't have the patience to Parry enemies anymore, I'm going to go through as Super Dante, just don't have the patience to do it properly now.

On the topic of the camera, I'd like to see the camera zoom adjustable in DmC. Being able to see a bit more of the screen would be very handy.

VGchartz (take it with a grain of salt, folks.) updated for DmC launch week in US.

1 3DS The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D 25,486
2 3DS Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate 21,638
3 PS4 Grand Theft Auto V 20,615
4 PS4 DmC: Definitive Edition 19,226
5 XOne Assassin's Creed: Unity 18,415
6 3DS Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. 18,268
7 XOne Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 18,248
8 3DS Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS 17,238
9 PS4 Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 17,215
10 XOne Grand Theft Auto V 16,908

So yeah, at least double the total sold in Europe in for PS4 alone. Hoping XOne version sold 7-10K.
Not a shabby start, DmC: DE's best chance at a great lifetime total is consistency, so here's hoping for a solid year-round progression.

I'll reserve making a thread of sales until NPD or Official Word from Capcom.

I don't want to start a new thread for it, but I'm doing a giveaway of DmC (both vanilla and Definitive Edition). More info here: http://dantesbooty.tumblr.com/post/116296149901/time-for-another-giveaway-this-one-is-to

Another VGChartz update:
76K physical sold in the first week. At least 100K physical total sold by the second week.

(As of March 21st)

PS4 Total Units
North America: 0.03m 38.1%
+ Europe: 0.03m 41.8%
+ Rest of the World: 0.01m 20.1%
= Global 0.07m

XONE Total Units
North America: 0.02m 60.8%
+ Europe: 0.01m 33.9%
+ Rest of the World: 0.00m 5.3%
= Global 0.03m

(I'm assuming that @sssensational was solely responsible for 1/3th of Europe sales.)

Glad to know (despite initial sales impressions of selling under 10K in Europe) it was able to hit these numbers. Hopefully these are the numbers that Capcom (and DE's allotted budget) set out for.

The past few months has had my DMC hype at an all time high, pretty much this:

But with this news and Vergil's gameplay...

Year of DMC indeed!!!

Vgchartz don't always get sales right, so it could be higher than that. That also dosen't account for digital sales which might have done okay.
