Genres

[edit]

Shouldn't this game also be listed under the puzzle genre, in addition to 'action-adventure' and 'hack and slash'? Atomicblue (talk) 14:59, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Extreme combat'

[edit]

Extreme combat is mentioned in all the articles, and yet there is no article to look at 'Extreme combat' to elaborate more on what it means. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.235.198 (talk) 12:18, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Devil May Cry (series) → Devil May Cry — Since the launch of the first game Devil May Cry has developed into a wide series consisting of numerous games, anime, manga, novels and comic books. Thus Devil May Cry is now more commonly referred to as a series rather than as simply the first game. The move is also supported by the disambiguation section of the naming conventions for the series. Hence the first game should be moved to Devil May Cry (video game) and the series page should be moved to Devil May Cry. An example of how this has been done before is that Final Fantasy directs to the series page while the first game, Final Fantasy is under Final Fantasy (video game) KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 12:36, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fan uproar against new DMC

[edit]

Considering that some Devil May Cry fanboy is actually removing references to the new chapter announced by Capcom i guess it would be better to put this entry under limited rights for updates. Is this possible? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Castef (talk • contribs) 13:11, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another fanboy is also spamming the page by stating that the new prequel is a "reboot" that has nothing to do with the previous entries despite the fact that within the link he provided, developers specifically say that it is an origin story. We should probably have this page locked until the game's release.

I would like to mention that it's supposed to be an origin story FOR A REBOOT. DmC is basically a new series, and should be described as such — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.91.25.132 (talk) 22:08, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]
NO ACTION
No consensus achieved

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

I propose that List of Devil May Cry episodes be merged into this main article. With only twelve episode summaries, there's no good argument for it to be a standalone spin off list. Both articles are very short and therefore a merger should be simple and effective. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proof that Devil May Cry 4 takes place after Devil May Cry 2

[edit]

This is a video of an interview with Chris Kramer, Capcom's director of communications, where he clearly states that the chronology places Devil May Cry 4 after Devil May Cry 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0z9XFQpuRs

This makes perfect sense since at the end of Lucia's story she hears Dante's motorcycle outside of his shop, then she goes out to see who it is but he races off. Also, after Dante's initial appearance in Devil May Cry 4, Nero clearly states "Guy just came from Hell, he's gotta hit up a couple tourist sites."(Exact quote from the game which can be confirmed in the Story Theater section). It's still questionable as to Nero's whereabouts, but perhaps Dante went to hell to rescue him after he defeats Virgil. Maybe Nero is the half-brother or son of Virgil, explaining why he has the Yamato ability. UnReAL13D (talk) 16:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi
I hope you will excuse my edit to the title of your message but I am afraid your fully capitalized letters gave me the impression that you were shouting.
Now as for the video, yes, it could be a very good proof if and only if you can supply additional verification data. First and foremost, when was the original of this video was published? (A link would be great.) This important is because many parameters may change during the game's development. (Maybe 4 was supposed to come after 2 but it changed later.) Second, who or what was the original publisher? But for the time being, I have requested citation for chronological order.
As for the rest of your message, I am afraid it is pure conjecture; conjecture is not allowed in Wikipedia.
Best regards,

This is a short clip from X-Play, a very popular show for previews of video games from the G4 channel, which airs on national television. Quite honestly, I can't believe you're questioning the integrity of this video. I would think that the words of Capcom's Director of Communications would supersede any producer of the game, seeing how his job is to "communicate" with all parties and individuals involved with Capcom. I'll find direct links of source info for this video later. UnReAL13D (talk) 18:10, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As requested, here is the direct source of that video, coming right from the G4 homepage: http://www.g4tv.com/videos/19837/hands-on-devil-may-cry-4/#video-26467 UnReAL13D (talk) 16:01, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would just like to add that Devil May Cry 4 was released on January 31 2008 in Japan, while this clip from X-Play was aired on January 16 2008. All other articles concerning any information about the chronology of the series were released months earlier. Devil May Cry 2 received a very poor reception from most of the gaming community, so it would make sense that the producers of the game would attempt to place it in "the distant future" as one of them stated in the issue of Game Informer which previewed the game. They probably wanted to be able to continue the story with DMC4 as a sequel to the 1st game for better continuity in the plot. I know that this is "conjecture" once again, but Chris Kramer did state that DMC4 was the last game of the series and he is the Director of Communications for Capcom, plus nobody from within Capcom stated otherwise after this clip aired. UnReAL13D (talk) 04:26, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that video counts as a WP:Reliable source since it's coming from the G4 homepage. Halo Jerk1 (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason the source was removed with a GameInformer interview from 2006 (when he only had three DMCs). I readded the G4TV interview from 2008 and changed the timeline. There are also comments from DMC4's character designer about making Dante look older than in previous games.Tintor2 (talk) 15:25, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Media

[edit]

This article is sorely lacking some pictures or short video clips that are representative of what makes it distinctive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.125.108 (talk) 17:44, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

China ban

[edit]

Regarding "On June 12, 2015, the Chinese Ministry of Culture listed Devil May Cry among 38 anime and manga titles banned in China" ([1]) maybe this is more relevant to Devil May Cry: The Animated Series? Ping User:Areaseven who added this here, maybe we should move this to the anime article? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:58, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

fanart in wikipedia article

[edit]

so, why does this page have fanart in it? the "logo" is a poorly-made fan-work which has no relation to the object of the article 80.251.112.198 (talk) 12:44, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Echoing on why is the main page using a non-official logo when official ones exist from Capcom. Even the upload's description says that it's fan created. -23.241.11.196 (talk) 04:07, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
