Devil May Cry 4 is the fastest selling title ever to grace the franchise, and to prove it, Capcom sent us a press release stating that it has shipped over 2 million units worldwide thus far. That is pretty impressive considering the fact that the game is only 15 days old at best and this number only includes the PS3 and Xbox 360 version because the PC version has not been released yet.
Immersing gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where Nero clashes with series mainstay Dante, in DMC4 players will be able to unleash stylish attacks and combos using a combination of the “Devil Bringer” right arm and the “Exceed” system, both of which are new gameplay mechanics for the series. From what I have heard from people who have played it, DMC4 has expansive environments, more enemies to defeat than ever before, and some of the most difficult bosses ever conceived in the series all wrapped up in a very pretty package.
For more information on DMC4, check out our previous posts.
DMC4’s greatest feature is that it has a level of difficulty much higher than most of the games they release today ahem…..Bioshock…..cough….cough.
The levels of difficulty need to be renamed, for example,
“Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.”
“Now you actually need to play it. You’ll die a few times, but don’t worry, you’ll get to the end eventually.”
“Why are you even bothering? You’re going to die instantly?”
“Does your home have insurance convering ‘damage by controller throwing’?”
“If you hold you, your family and your house dear, do not play on this difficulty.”
That being said, I love the game. It’s completely over-the-top, insane, brilliant, but extremely fun.
