An important task, as it would potentially be the first Resident Evil title on the PS2. Shortly after the release of the PlayStation 2, Resident Evil series producer Shinji Mikami requested Hideki Kamiya, director of Resident Evil 2, to create the next series title. But where did this smooth, cocky, stylish gameplay come from? Better question: how did this stylish gameplay come from the Resident Evil series?
The player uses Dante’s various melee weapons and guns to style all over his enemies and it feels oh so satisfying. In Devil May Cry, the game is built around this idea. Juggling, keeping an enemy up in the air through combos, was previously just a bug discovered in Capcom’s other action series Onimusha. Devil May Cry officially introduced “juggling” into the genre. For 3D action games, it was a landmark for its incorporation of aerial combat. Released on October 17, 2001, Devil May Cry was praised for its fluid, rewarding combat, multiple weapons with their own unique movesets, the Devil Trigger system which enhanced each weapon, intuitive yet simple control scheme, and absolutely intense boss battles. Image from the Devil May Cry Wikipedia page How did the first game pioneer the way for 3D action games, especially when it was a prototype for Resident Evil 4? Why are there so many former Power Rangers acting in the series? To answer this, let’s get smokin’ sick stylish with the history of: Devil May Cry.
Where did Dante get his start though? The Capcom series has been running for nearly 20 years now. The fun-loving, pizza-hogging, wise-cracking demon hunter with a stylish red coat and more weapons than he has limbs. For fans of 3D stylish-action games, most people probably know about the protagonist: Dante. Absolutely awesome, since this collection marks the first time that both Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 2 can run on PC without emulation. For those who don’t know, Twitch Prime is also free with Amazon Prime, which is also free for college students. From March 6 to April 3, Twitch Prime is offering the first game for free. The Devil May Cry HD Collection is coming to the PC. Update: It was announced on February 27 that the Twitch Prime promotion will be delayed until March 6.
