Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition by PvtCb in  

And that it's tricky

+MellowMythix That's kinda why I like these events over watching some silent speedrun online. There's a much larger human element to counteract and play off the abbreviated gameplay. its quite an effective entertainment venue.

I think the problem here is that Devil May Cry is not made to be speedrunned. it's made to be expressive in combat. it's like trying to speedrun Minecraft.

Samir Malik it’s definitely made to be “speed runned?” There’s literally a timer for every mission and it ranks you on how fast you go. You get an achievement for getting all S time rank😅👀

@@InterstellarClouddit's different from speedrunning, notice how he's getting C's for style points almost all of the time.

Sunnydoe there’s literally a turbo option too like wtf there encouraging you to go fast 😂

I see an interesting conversation about DMC and speed running so I wanna chime in cuz I like talking about this game series. For the most part DMC as a whole was made with the idea of arcade games. Arcade games were known for being difficult to play, mostly because the machine needed to make money. Because the games were difficult to play, a lot of the time players would have to learn little tricks to extend their quarter AKA beating the game with as little money spent as possible. I bring this up because the discussion in this thread is whether or not the game was meant to be speedrun. For the most part it was meant to be speed run BUT DMC speedrunning has gone so far above what the devs thought would be possible.

+Asexual_Anarchist those judgement cuts.. O_O so precise

He's taking a break from gaming apparently atm, but something tells me that killing stuff as fast as possible isnt really his style.

@@SufferDYT emphasis on. ahem. "Style"

Yes it counts. Everithing from start to killing the last boss.

just judgement cut or trick to an enemy to end the sheathing animation.

I know but Boss Rushes on Donguri's videos are always sick looking .

Save the frames!

Animals are useless and take up time.

That is a reference to Super Metroid where you can take about 20 seconds to save some animals, or you can kill the animals and save 20 seconds.

this is from a year ago

arashi618 Devil May Cry 2 because he's not in it. Lel

+Charles Ray Considering how poorly received DmC ended up being, and Kamiya being pretty busy with PlatinumGames, we might even have to accept the end of the franchise. But I really hope Capcom sorts this out in due time.

+Kaze Memaryu Kamiya only made DMC1 if I remember, but it's a shame that the old team from DMC 3 and 4 isn't here anymore, perhaps Capcom can find another studio, like Platinum Games, maybe not Kamiya as director, but someone else who knows how to make a DMC

David .Crimson Kamiya was still involved as an advisor, and I feel like his word kept most of DMC's style intact. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who could do the DMC franchise any justice - the guy behind DmC was a pretty obnoxious prick, so I wouldn't wanna see him do anything except completely new stuff.

+Kaze Memaryu Kamiya was not an advisor on any of the DMC games after DMC1. There was a massive amount of bad blood between him and Capcom and they wouldn't let him near it. That being said, it seems that the team who was working on it did mostly stay true to the world Kamiya had created, and even managed to surpass the game he made with DMC3, so kudos to them. Then Ninja Theory got their hands on the series.... Ugh.

The HZA He was no official advisor, but he didn't really hide that members of Team Little Devils kept contact with him, and they highly regarded his input on certain things until DMC3. By DMC4, he kinda turned his back on the whole thing, which might be why Nero became a thing (though I didn't mind him once it became clear he wouldn't replace Dante). If I remember correctly, he doesn't care about DMC anymore, but I really hope I got that VERY wrong.

Юра Стецький it's called "yawning"

Michał Skoworn if you watched the video you would know.

DodoRebirth this would've been extra helpful for me because for some reason when I played this game for the first time I had the volume turned down and for all subsequent play through I skipped the cutscenes.

dude, I've beaten every difficulty but hell and hell

Dove Chaser yeah, that is the question. Maybe my problem is I don't care. I only tend to worry about story in jrpgs and halo

you're very weird most love dmc 4 an 3

You ever played DMC1, because you are required to fight every boss at least twice, a couple of them three times with jankier controls. And DMC2 has WAY more open and empty areas in addition to only having one sword combo through the entire game.
