(trailer review) - Devil May Cry

Me and Devil May Cry goes back to the very first game. Why did I buy this game? I am not sure why if I am honest. It might have been the games box cover art. A guy holding two pistols with white hair. Devil May Cry written in joined up writing and a silhouette of a woman holding two guns. I don't know, but the game just called to me. The games cover art called to me as well as the title, I guess. I purchased and got into the game and while the camera angles could prove to be a little difficult at times, the game reminded me of a Resident Evil game (due to camera angles) and having two pistols, one named ebony and the other named ivory, the game was fun. Fighting weird puppet-type monsters, fighting giant spiders and other floating or flying enemies as well as difficult bosses. But what made the game different was the fact that you also had a big long sword you could slash enemies with and often, if not all the time, you could use your guns and sword interchangeably during battle and create combos whilst fighting in a stylised way. If that was not enough, you collected a range of other weapons along the way and you could turn into a demon, wrecking shop when things got a bit hectic! It was a really fun game. When the sequels came out, the game went into the lore of the world and Dante's story which was briefly touched upon in the first game but expanded in the second and third games.

So what do I expect from this show? Everything I said above! Weird monsters, swordplay and gunplay with insane juggling fighting combos in a stylised way that would be over the top, backed up by heavy rock music and a story that delves deeper into the story of Dante and his business 'Devil May Cry'. The trailer is soo short, it does not really give us anything, so another trailer would help sell it to those who are unfamiliar with the franchise, but what I will say, of the fighting, if it is anything remotely close to the games, the fighting is going to be top notch. The story is decent in the game so I am not sure why they would deviate from it, but learning the backstory will also be entertaining. I just hope they start from the beginning and not bring in any of the later characters from the ganes in just yet. Keep the suspense and the twist, dig deeper into the history and I think you will have a Castlevania-type show that can be very entertaining.
