Devil May Cry : History and Cut Content

[@STARSVeteran]

I wonder if in a parallel world, we got the Hookman RE4, if Devil May Cry would have still released in some form to scratch the Gothic itch Hideki Kamiya was feeling.

[@edward18517]

Oh it absolutely would have. Devil May Cry was already being worked on as Devil May Cry when they were doing the Castle Version (the version that the Hookman Version is a part of) which was what was being done as 4 after Kamiya's 4 switched to being Devil May Cry.

[@AlexSmashX3]

not going to lie, I'd play the resident like DMC. I always had an image of what it would be like since i saw the first concept of one of the rooms with Redgrave and his SMG. what do you think the SMG would be named?

[@repoversemedium]

Ah yes, the original Resident Evil 4.

[@VergilHiltsLT]

Everyone keeps mentioning it like it's some revelation.

[@edward18517]

You actually got...pretty much everything correct for the development for what you talked about. This may be the most accurate video in recounting the development of Kamiya's version of Resident Evil 3/4. I'm surprised at...the amount of stuff you got right. Normally people that know about the series even in-depth don't know as much in the way of details of the story as you do. You've certainly come a long way since you first started doing your Resident Evil videos. To give some more detail though, from my understanding The Kraken was supposed to be an "ancient" monster so it was likely just a Progenitor creature (possibly that shipwrecks them). I'm fairly certain that Nightmare was a Progenitor Human and that's just what it'd naturally ended up becoming over the millenias, either due to being an Irregular Mutant or just being the natural process of what happens to a Progenitor Human that survives for that long (it has the same kind of body-paint-tattoos as the Nobodies do). It was able to slide under doors and stuff due to its liquidy nature. The skeletons seem to imply that it's absorbed other humans over that time, probably to keep its energy going. It always looked kinda of like a more stabilized version of the fifth form of G to me. For changing it into Devil May Cry though Hideki was fine with it being Resident Evil, it's Mikami talking to the staff about it that got it to change. I'm fairly certain that Spencer's "Boss Form" did influence Mundus however. It has the same giant gray regalness that Spencer's "Boss" form did, though with wings replacing the "shoulder-back" G-Arms that were like G3's arms from 2. Mundus breaking open and revealing a bunch of Eyes in some fleshy mass as its final form is something that I can only imagine was directly carried over from ideas they had for Spencer's fight, but there's no concept art I've ever seen of that so that's just my idea. That isn't a mansion for the second beta of 4 though, that's still Spencer's Castle in that version.

[@LiquidEights]

Yeah, this is actually surprisingly well-researched. There's the occasional embellishments and conjectural statements, but that's to be expected with this channel. There's maybe two other videos on this site that have DMC1 properly researched? And all three have a lot of overlap. It's too bad that they're all in the 20-30 minute range, because there's easily a few hours worth of development stories to tell for this game.

[@CryonicDragon]

Baby griffin was probably reused as malphas in dmc 5 which I personally find very cool

[@bobafett4265]

I haven't seen many people cover the development and cut content of Devil May Cry 1 before, but man these cuts were some wild stuff and later series regular Vergil has his character design tracing back to the "RE4" phase of DMC1 cause dude he looks so much how he later showed up for reals in DMC3, simply wild.

[@convivialcomics]

One of my favorite games. I hope they do a remake someday... Informative video!

[@sammythehamster9093]

One of my favourite game on PS2. I end up getting all three Devil My Cry games. I have miniature collectables it came with green orb, parts, puppet enemies, Trish and Vergil.

[@memberofchat2825]

just in time for my 20th devil may cry replay

[@trafalgar47official66]

I hope someday, someone makes a mod for DMC1, featuring the cut enemies and bosses.

[@cursedshibito8635]

the green alternate death sentance sword can also be seen on the ship's captain deck door as the burning swords that block the entrance

[@-Banoffee]

Good stuff, though to be fair to Itsuno, he wasn't the director for the vast majority of DMC2's development. As far as I know, DMC2's director is *still* unnamed. Itsuno was brought it at last minute to make the game playable as it was barely half-finished months before the release date.

[@AkumaSephitaro]

Basically.... He had to do something with that mess, but didn't have enough time to fix it. (But then we got DMC3 so.... things got better!)

[@Yozora2025]

I think its absolutely wild that the original director is still unknown. Even AFTER the capcom leaks with the demo version of DMC2 there was nothing even mentioning their name. I can count on my fingers the amount of times a dev has managed to purge their name from a project like that.

[@skyrider11910]

​@@Yozora2025it's so fucking funny I just can't, bro erased himself out of history books because he knew how badly he screwed up😂

[@TheMaerx]

They could still use the police officer plot line by having it be Dante's "cover" while gathering info for a job, maybe while collaborating with Morrison and Trish

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99]

Started playing this for the first time last year, had a blast great video!

[@kylee2002]

I guess the slicked back hair inspired Vergil’s current look

[@LenneTyler]

It kills me they named him REDgrave when they already got a REDfield.

[@flyforce16]

Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry Series™?

[@shunkun8668]

Did you know that Resident Evil 1 was originally supposed to be Devil May Cry 4

[@yeez13]

I really wish we got that supernatural RE4 that was scrapped before they went with the current version. It would’ve been an interesting direction to go down, in hindsight. Not because I didn’t like the one we got but because I can see Capcom angling the series as a means to inevitably make RE X (or 10) serve as an “origin story” for the Darkstalkers and it leading into a full-on reboot. Given the direction that RE Village took the series into…I still have this incredibly strong hunch that yes, this is what they’re ultimately going to do with RE 10

[@Shaggyjunior760]

This is technically a resident evil cut content video

[@TheHaddonfieldRegistry]

Which means it's technically a Sweet Home cut content video

[@mntm5]

ah yes tony and paul

[@DBTGAMER]

Great video. Perhaps do a video on Haunting Ground. Some ideas concepts and ideas came from Resident Evil 4. Happy New year.🤔😄🎊

[@NorrinRaddIITurbo]

I’m glad this game became its own thing rather than be a part of the RE universe. I bought DMC when it came out and remember describing it to my friends as more like Castlevania than an RE game.

[@edward18517]

Personally I wish most of the story had stayed RE4.

[@TheHaddonfieldRegistry]

I'm glad too, but I fucking hate the RE4 we got and would have been fine with this as RE4

[@TV-MA.x_x.]

@@TheHaddonfieldRegistry Gotta be the worst takes in human history ngl. RE4 is one of the greatest games ever made. Still not as bad as the time I saw someone say CoD Vanguard was better than BO2.

Im so HAPPY you're covering DMC now!!! I just started playing it again

OG Dante is cooler than that lame dork from dmc3.

[@MrBelaska]

Although im glad we got the games we got... But I am still curious in the very original RE4(hookman version) and original RE5 (where you played only as CHRIS) and also it would be great to see remake of DMC2 and 4 ,but why those 2 you ask ? As 2 is 2 and many of us know how that went,and 4 ? well since its also unfinished mess which was enjoyable but still unfinished Also nice video Good SIR

[@edward18517]

The Hookman version is a phase of the Castle version of 4, which was the second version of 4. Kamiya's version in this video was the first version of 4.

[@MrBelaska]

@@edward18517 thanks for correcting,yes the original was indeed castle

[@TREVORVADER]

DMC4 had a lot of cool cut ideas ans designs. A shame they didn’t get to finish it.

[@DeathMetalKoro666]

Still a good fun game but a remake would be nice.

Okay but nobody asked you

[@edward18517]

Personally I wish they had.

Why do devils cry?

[@Xlen-omega]

"Maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one. Don't you think?"

[@seth9655]

Devils Never Cry

[@TV-MA.x_x.]

Many people don't know this, but the original Devil May Cry actually started as a DLC for "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" but was later made into it's own game due to it's uniqueness and creativity.

[@the-point-bearer6689]

Really?

[@themotherfer9903]

Devil may cry is more better then resident evil
