Devil May Cry 5 has online multiplayer, online co-op and live-action cutscenes
- Thread starter Dusk Golem
- Start date
I may have to wait to get a good enough PC if I want multiplayer. Sure as hell ain't subscribing to PS+ for it.
Kind of a weird sentiment to have in a genre with roots in co-op beat em' ups but hey, you do you.
No local multiplayer? Only online? That's a shame considering that DMC3 offered a really nice secret local coop gameplay at the end of the game.
Nothing is confirm, that's why it's best not to overreact first.
Interesting note about the live-action cutscenes; Apparently Capcom has filmed the actors fully decked out in their costumes for their cutscenes in the past. These weren't mere mo-cap sessions. They did this for Resident Evil 6, for example. Basically they made films of all the cutscenes. Reason? Dunno, if I had to guess it was maybe to assist the animators of the actual in-game cutscenes to get things to look right? Some of these RE6 scenes were shown off at a con once, but I've never been able to find any recordings. Now, it's entirely possible that these live action cutscenes in DMCV are just mo-cap sessions, but how cool would it be if it was instead those fully costumed sessions?

It's not, there's no details on online quite yet. But I'm personally betting it's going to be not the campaign that has co-op, if only because the campaign doesn't really seem co-op friendly and more single-player geared. I think it's going to be closer to how the Resident Evil Revelations games handled online co-op, which was the story campaigns were single-player (or the first game was), then there was Raid Mode, which had online co-op. I feel the co-op hasn't been mentioned until now because it's part of an additional mode rather than part of the campaign.
Yeah, DMC3 was so terrible with the addition of the doppelganger style allowing for multiplayer capabilities 15 years ago. What a terrible entry in the series. It clearly completely changed the design of the game around even for single player users.
If it's for a Raid Mode type of thing, that'd be excellent.
Something that can give truly countless hours of replay and extended value long before the campaign has been cleared several times and without changing the fundamentals of Bloody Palace (which should still be its own thing).

But the face models are different from the voice actors, so how would that work?
Yeah, I remember the finale being awful because you could do it multiplayer. Awful. Absolutely awful.
Further info on the live-action cutscenes:
Singlehandedly pushing my deluxe edition upgrade
I was at one of Reuben Langdon's at a con in Dallas a few years ago, and he showed off the live action scenes from RE6. It was super interesting seeing stuff like Troy Baker cosplaying as Jake and acting out the scenes, fighting these really cheesy looking monster designs and stuff.
I always wished they'd release more of this footage for games, like the RE6 or the mocap videos from DMC3...and they're actually doing it for DMC5! This really is the dream game.
That's the one! I'm so jealous you got to see that, I always wanted to. How professional were the videos, were there full on sets and locations or just a sound stage?
You're bugging if you think co-op that'll likely be featured in modes outside of the main campaigns would change the game's level design.
It's not like Devil May Cry will have rooms where you have to wait for your partner to press the button at the same time to open a door. It'll likely be a lot like what Bayonetta offered.
I honestly would fully be on board for Z-tier bitchslap tier green screen with models cosplaying and dubbed by the voice actors. It'll be hilarious.
Hopefully more like Ninja gaiden sigma 2 and less like Bayonetta 2.
Give me all the unbalanced multiple bosses Capcom. Make me rage a bit..

I know it isn't so, but I would absolutely love to see live action cutscenes done in a proper fashion, like tokusatsu.
Big dumb monster suits, wire work, CG effects, the lot.

daaamn, I feel bad for you man. The idea of playing DMC with my bros sounds like a dream come true to me, if your on Xbox and want someone to co op DMC with when it comes out hmu
Yeah, seeing Langdon chew up scenery in live action is almost more fun than seeing Dante do it.
Err, as in, intro quality CGI for the whole thing? That would be nuts. And this is just the pre-vis included as a bonus, the actual ingame cinematics are still just that, ingame :P
Hopefully spontaneous matchmaking with randoms for those of us who lost their friends to Fortnite Zoomers Edition tbh
I hope co-op means LDK mode with tons of enemies so you need the second player to clear them all all out for S time at the mission summary.
