DEVIL MAY CRY 4 Still Just as Tough

I thoroughly enjoyed going through DMC 3 on its highest difficulty setting, Dante Must Die. However, not all gamers, and new comers to the series, enjoyed going through the game on its Normal setting. That says a lot about how difficult DMC can be. However, God of War II’s Titan Mode far surpasses any bounds of reason, and sanity, with regards to a game being tough. With that, Eurogamer interviewed Hiroyuki Kobayashi, producer/director of RE4, DMC Series, Blinkx 2, and other titles, to tells us that ..

“… It’s interesting to know that someone would think we could create a game that would be more difficult than Devil May Cry 3! We had to learn a lesson there, actually, because DMC3 was really difficult. What we found was that people sometimes lost interest within the first two hours because the game just wasn’t giving them any chance whatsoever. So DMC4 will be about same difficulty level, but we thought that we would be a little bit kinder to the player, so we’re going to give a step-by-step guide on how to use the weapons and skills so that you should naturally progress to a better skill level a little more easily than in DMC3. “

Basically, the game may be just as difficult but at least it will be easier to learn. A plus for new comers to the series. In addition, Kobayashi-San points out that new comers can pick up DMC4 and not worry about its previous plot twists. Personally, the difficulty in games like DMC and God of War are a welcome, since the reward for completing their insane tasks, and engaging in a well placed Boss Beat Down, is awesome!
