Season 6: Devil May Cry 4 | Video Gameography

Let’s rock, baby! Season 6 Video gameography gets stylish as we examine the Devil May Cry series! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be covering the history and lore of Capcom’s premiere action franchise, and this episode takes aim at the lauded yet somewhat polarizing Devil May Cry 4. 

Devil May Cry 4 was the game that took Devil May Cry to new hardware. Xbox is the first console in the series. It’s just one of many notable firsts this entry has. Capcom moved Dante aside to place newcomer Nero in the starring role, who brought his demon arm Devil Bringer as the new centerpiece mechanic. Dante was still able to be controlled by the players during DMC 4’s second half. In this episode, we’ll discuss DMC 4’s bizarre 2005 reveal, Capcom’s reasoning behind Nero’s conception, the fan reaction to the Xbox launch, and what it’s really like to visit Fortuna’s inspiration, Vatican City. 

Join hosts Marcus Stewart (@MarcusStewart7) and the returning host of The Great Game Debate podcast Wes Bates (@GreatGameDeb8We will be discussing Nero’s major debut.
