Devil May Cry - E3 2001 - Presentation Shinji Mikami

[@tokyobassist]

Devil May Cry and Silent Hill 2 unveiled the same year. THAT'S HOW E3 USED TO BE!

[@Druffmaul]

+tokyobassist And then they both came out that September. With Ico!

[@Emanny237]

2001 was such an incredible year for gaming. That same year we have: Devil May Cry Silent Hill 2 Metal Gear Solid 2 Twisted Metal: Black GTA 3 Final Fantasy X Halo Max Payne Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy And the list goes on. I feel like today most games are overhype and usually failed to deliver.

[@thetruej7872]

Emmanuel Jimenez Don't forget about SA2 and SSB Brawl

[@nicholasdeforte845]

Emmanuel Jimenez you forgot Armored Core 2: Another Age

[@Kakarotoselacome]

Jalen Payton Yeah, both Dreamcast and GameCube gems.

[@Casketkrusher_]

One of the best games of 2001. I will never forget this masterpiece, best year of gaming!

[@IamJmGJT]

Doom Guy Devil May Cry 1, Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto 3 2001 was one of the best years in gaming

[@VergilHiltsLT]

Jared Thomas What did you say? What about Metal Gear Solid 2, Silent Hill 2, Max Payne, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Soul Reaver 2, Serious Sam: TFE, Ico, Clive Barker's Undying, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Shenmue II?

[@Casketkrusher_]

I love Legacy of Kain, especially the second game, as I said 2001 was the best!

[@definitelynotapervert5602]

Don't forget Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.

[@Casketkrusher_]

@@definitelynotapervert5602 Oh yes! Klonoa did got a remake/remaster a couple of years ago.

[@imarock.7662]

A game that redefined Character Action forever. The start of a legendary series.

[@squall070]

"the hero utilized 2 guns and sword and a punches and kicks to agaisnt a.......ummmm.. ...devil" This is pure gold..

[@tumulovermelho93]

Well, technically it was an accurate translation. lol

[@DrewSparda94]

I really must say thanks to this man and Capcom for creating my favourite videogame. I only hope they will continue the original saga and give it an epic ending. Anyway, thanks Mikami-san, thanks Capcom and thanks Devil May Cry!

[@Chad123-g3d]

+TheOrpheus2013 Did he retire though or is he working on an evil within sequel ?!

[@DrewSparda94]

+Rubert max he still works but not for Capcom. I don't know anything about an E.W sequel.

[@Chad123-g3d]

TheOrpheus2013 He's too precious to lose, one of the best game developers out there. I don't want him to retire this soon, i wanna see him as Kojima, they are both the same age but it seems like Kojima is still passionate about gaming while Mikami isn't

[@inyugen]

DevilHunterDante How ya feel about the new dmc 5 that was shown at this years e3

[@DrewSparda94]

@@inyugen I'm absolutely crazy about it!

[@MasterChris666]

its 2023 omg watching this brings me back i was in school young

[@dinocrisisrevolution3429]

Love the game and I sure wish to thank Shinji for making Dino Crisis, Resident Evil and Dino Crisis also The Evil Within

[@BloodyBrawler92]

I'd like to thank Shinji Mikami too. He's developed some of the greatest games I've ever played in my life, and that were a part of my childhood.

[@thanksbetotap]

Name checks out.

[@definitelynotapervert5602]

Little did we know this would spawn the most iconic hack and slash gaming franchise in history. In hindsight, this presentation was a pivotal part of gaming history. Gaming wouldn't be where it is today without all these games coming out for the PS2, let alone the same year.

[@DARKVISUALS-fs6jh]

Mikami san is a legend creating legendary games

[@veldtform]

7:35 10/10 High Time + E&I juggle by Mikami

[@thanksbetotap]

I wear my sunglasses at night…

[@sevenheavenhavengaming]

Woah! I can't believe how long ago this was. It's like time traveling. We all know how different it was back then during that time though. Social media didn't exist so you had to rely on gaming magazines, tv commercials and stores. I remember back seeing Devil May Cry 1 and 2 on video stores. That's how I found out about this game. You could either rent or buy them. Good times.

[@basemhanaki64]

Devil may cry 1 was biggest success while the others of series is a big shame

[@lovethrougheternity]

Вышел на сцену на максимальном хайпе, в чёрной рубашке и тёмных очках... Какой же Синдзи Миками без преувеличения О Т Е Ц.

[@14Aiko14]

Love the series and this one especially. This game will always be special to me

[@NYYanks2003040506]

One of the most badass games ever made back then. Still a favorite of mine.

[@AintPopular]

mikami got that swag on

[@Ajmolali82]

He looks so young and fresh i don't know how old was he back then.

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

Shinji Mikami was 35 back in 2001.

[@Casketkrusher_]

Man, this game deserve a remake.

[@StarLord66X]

looking back on the original build of the game, MANY THINGS CHANGED but many things remained

[@STEP6192]

So Cool, Mikami-San 😎 Praise the Lord of Videogames!! Ps: Thanks for uploading

[@Phoenix-iz2ey]

BEAUTIFUL

[@chilip4743]

Que fachero el mikami

[@ANDY-1109]

The real God Father of DMC is Hideki Kamiya & Shiji Mikami ‼ I missed those days‼ Thank You❗ I'm really proud of it❗😭

[@xenowarrior282]

Yeah but Itsuno really made the franchise shine.

[@charvelgtrs]

Where did you get this high quality copy of 2001 E3 conference?

[@СергейЛебедев-с9щ3э]

Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry (2001) best Capcom game!!!

[@PedalPoopers]

Official remake coming soon guys!!!

[@nightnight4575]

Classic

[@nicholasdeforte845]

Man that translator did a pretty rough job

[@OKeijiDragon]

"The program..."

[@v-trigger6137]

She was nervous throughout the whole conference

[@thermonuclearcollider4418]

She was translating a live speech from Japanese to English, which ain't as easy as, say, translating from French to English: the grammar and phonetics are completely different. Also, there's a chance she might have not been familiar with the terms used in Japan for software development, gaming, or folklore. This was 2001 after all: I reckon most translators that get scouted for gaming conventions today have a deeper knowledge of subcultures.

[@puma0085]

Could you make it better? Translate Japanese to English on the fly? Kudos you must be very intelligent then. Japanese is not easy language. Or are you just a arms chair expert?

[@Moe598]

This is some good ass quality.

[@JulianNeff-c6c]

Would have loved to have seen the Devil May Cry series be completely done by Hideki Kamiya instead of Itsuno. We would've gotten a completely different story and characters. It's a shame!

[@almostfree9255]

Gameplay still holds up.

[@SurvivalHorrorMaster]

Dude these vids are pure gold ! Where did you get them ? :P

[@AFK7Music]

Is that Andrew House at the beginning?

[@gizelbelcoot]

Did he do eyes operation, he use to wear thick glasses, Andrewhouse too had glasses but now he doesnt wear any

[@Clarensee]

What was he trying to achieve with the sunglasses look back in 2001? I wonder.

[@Zip-id7pm]

ClarenseE Just being a badass.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

The Matrix, dude.

He was pulling a Wesker there

Where you find this video please?

[@davefan16]

I'd like to know too, this is pretty high quality

[@pedropablopicasso]

+davefan16 It would be great to have a complete video of the entire presentation.

[@MasterChris666]

wait 2022 he was boss at Sony lol young here

[@Clarensee]

Why wasn't it Kamiya who presented the game?

[@Justin_Steve]

ClarenseE Mikami was the creator, Kamiya simply was the director.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

Justin Steve Hernandez "Simply" the director, lol.

[@v-trigger6137]

probably because Kamiya was still a newcomer at that time. while Mikami had already made his name popular universally, he was one of the top creative heads at Capcom if I'm not mistaken. so no wonder why would they want him to present their new product

[@boghospayaslian914]

@@v-trigger6137 yes you're right.... He's the godfather of horror games genre and 7th greatest game creators in IGN review

[@ventasocr]

i wonder why hideki kamiya didn't present dmc1... also it's sad that the original creators of dmc aren't involved with the franchise no more, i don't like what itsuno and matt walker have done to it

I wonder how they hired that interpreter/translator. by chance? at last minute? She literally ruined his speech.

[@STEP6192]

She must have been really good in bed ;)

[@v-trigger6137]

4:16 you can clearly see that in Mikami's face. he is like "man, what have I done to these people that they are making me go through this cringe" Lol
