The fifth game in the Devil May Cry trilogy has now been announced, and will be developed by none other than Cambridge-based Ninja Theory, of Heavenly Sword and Enslaved fame.
Now, I’m not personally a fan of the franchise: Japanese-style button mashers are just not my thing, and not even my pronounced graphics-whore-ish tendencies could get me over DMC 4’s shallow and monotonous gameplay. Which made the small shiver of excitement I felt in response to the latest installment’s debut trailer all the more remarkable.
So here is a message to Ninja Theory, already personally delivered to a good personal friend in their team:
If, contrary to the trailer, the actual game turns out to be the same shallow deal as the last one, and doesn’t feature a fag-butt-in-the-eye finishing move, I will personally come and kick each of you square in the nuts.
Each. Of. You. In the nuts.
Hard.
Consider yourselves on notice.
