Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

Nine years in and the Devil May Cry franchise is a healthy one. The first game lit a fire on the PlayStation 2 way back in 2001 despite a very thin story. The second game, which I never bothered to play after poor reviews, pretty much flopped. The third game ramped up the difficulty to Americans-Will-Cry levels before the release of a Special Edition that added in more content, put it in playable territory, and still had a laughably bad story.

Devil May Cry 4 hit the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC last year to good reviews; the best sales of any version to date at 2.2 million copies; and an Accomplishments system on the PS3 that looked like a clear hook into what would eventually become Trophies on the system. Sadly, a Trophy patch was disavowed and never made — I still harbor some bitterness over that — but despite that all told the whole set of games has sold 10 million copies for Capcom.

There is no doubt a Devil May Cry 5 in the works and I really only have one request for Capcom. Just spend some time on a good story with good localization. I’ve always felt the DMC combat system would be perfect if it was pushed into RPG-like territory and handed to Konami for some Castlevania loving, but that would probably never happen, so I’d settle for a story that held up pretty well to tie the fast and frantic action together.

Oh and a Trophy patch for Devil May Cry 4 if you can get around to it. I know, I know, I’ll leave it alone now.
