CAPCOM shared a bunch of new Devil May Cry 5 media for the Tokyo Game Show 2018, including a new trailer and twenty-three gorgeous 4K screenshots, focusing in particular on Dante. Check them all below.
Chris had the chance to go hands-on with the highly anticipated third-person action game at Gamescom 2018 and really enjoyed his time with it. As a reminder, Devil May Cry 5 is due on March 8th, 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The biggest takeaway from the combat is that it’s just as fast-paced, engaging and a great spectacle as it has ever been. It’s only made all that more impressive by the simply astounding aesthetics within the game. Using the REngine, Devil May Cry 5 looks fantastic, every demon showing little details like goo dripping from them, horrible pulsating veins and more.
In addition to the visuals, the music is also fun and engaging. It ramps up in intensity depending on your actions in battle, with your increased rank also bringing in an increase in the audio. It’s a fun system that helps you keep track of your combat score. None of this should come as a huge surprise to anybody familiar to the series though. Adding to the great music is strong audio from the characters, monsters and the effects of battle. Everything just has that bit more weight to it.
Of course, one level isn’t exactly a great judge of a full title. From what I have seen, this is a great return to the Devil May Cry franchise. It looks, sounds and plays great. What more could you ask for?
