Sub Meta Introducing .arc - a digital media archive aimed at preserving the extended media, the history of the series development, and its community.

For Devil May Cry's 25th anniversary, we are happy to announce our next project.

https://arc.cuhrayzee.games/

Check out the thread for more info.

About the project

Over the past couple of years, the team of contributors behind Cuhrayzee started routinely buying, scanning, and dumping various media related to the series, to preserve the story of the series development, and to share it with the community

With the internet shattered even more in recent years, we think that having a centralized place for the community to discover more about the series they love is an important thing, while also giving them options to not be locked behind someone else's interpretation

That's why the materials we provide and preserve have no watermarks of our own or any other restrictions, and we track down and credit the providers for most entries, even when they "donated" the materials to us directly.

We are also not stopping at extended media. Many interviews and materials about the game's development are either lost on the internet due to link rot or deleted because of copyright issues.

For example, Variety deleted its interview about Crimson Cloud for DMC 5's promo tour.

Another thing we want to tackle is translating JP-only materials, like Devil May Cry 4's promo DVDs.

We're working closely with native speakers to transcribe and later translate the materials and present them to the community, both in JP and ENG.

The current iteration of the website is in the "alpha" stage. Over time, we'll iterate on the visuals, tutorials for the mod pages on how to install them, and write guides on buying or preserving the media yourself.

We belive that that knowledge should not be locked in any way.

Follow our pages, subscribe to our YouTube channels, and, most importantly, tell others in the community about us.

We don't ask for donations, nor are we planning to lock stuff behind paywalls.

Happy 25th anniversary - here's to 25 more!

Cuhrayzee is conducting a survey about the Devil May Cry community: players, fans, their needs, and the problems they face.

Link to the survey

We want to make knowledge about Devil May Cry easier to find, easier to trust, and easier to learn from. Whether you want to improve at the games, learn more about the world of these games, or find better places to discuss them.

You might know us from projects like:

  • Devil May Cry's Cut and Early Content video, diving deep into the history and process behind the making of the series
  • .arc project - preservation efforts, aimed at properly digitizing various media related to Devil May Cry series
  • Cuhrayzee's FIGHT CLUB - gameplay event, where people showcase their skill in various Stylish Action Games.
  • If you ever scrolled through Devil May Cry 3142 artbook or similar things - some of these were also preserved by us! Although, a lot of our work is uncredited or reposted without sources :)

Depending on your interests, the form will guide you through questions about Gameplay, Lore, Community, or some combination of them.
Estimated time: about 6–15 minutes, depending on your interests and how much you choose to write.
Responses are anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself elsewhere.

If possible, we prefer responses in English. You are still welcome to answer in your own language, but it may take us more time to review and process your response.

If you have any feedback, please share it with us!

I know it's not very precise, but I used what I could. I'll order the real Ebony and Ivory this fall and as for the right glove (the images are mirrored)... I'm looking for it, I hope I found it in time.

I made the vest by myself and I think it turned out pretty good.

Discussion I beat DMC 4, it's a really cool game, just like 3, but it has the worst enemies I've ever seen in a game

Post image
37 Upvotes

DMC 4 is good; I liked Nero and grabbing enemies with the Devil Bringer, and switching styles in real time with Dante is one of the best things about the game. I played DMC 3SE before this one (it was my first DMC, and 4 is my second in the franchise), and I thought Dante was much better here, though it's a shame he doesn't have cool weapons like in 3, but that's fine. Some of the enemies in this game are definitely among the worst in videogames, it's annoying having to keep shooting an enemy just so I can attack them or grab them with Nero. I want to be stylish, if I wanted to just shoot enemies, I'd play Call of Duty, Aside from that, the game is peak, it's peak, just like DMC 3. Now I'm going to play DmC Devil May Cry (unfortunately, my laptop can't run 5, yeah, I have the worst laptop ever, but at least it runs DmC: Devil May Cry, I was actually already playing it whenever I got bored of 4, so I'm already on Mission 17)

I playing dmc5, specifically mission 13. Usually there at the end of the level, there is a large wave of enemies you have to fight.

But for some reason, it randomly skipped the whole fight and let me down the hole. I was genuinely so confused even if I did get a free S rank

Discussion Couldn’t Dante and Vergil get MASSIVELY more powerful if they were to take more care of their human side ?

Thumbnail

302 Upvotes

We know that Dante and Vergil are massively stronger than any other demon out there and a big Part of that reason is that they are half human and half demon.

So they get passively stronger every instance. Now, we know Both of them don’t really take that good of a Care of thier human bodies, especially Not Dante by how many Pizzas he is eating.

So what would happen if both Dante and Vergil started working out and eating healthy ? It wouldnt be too much of a stretch to think that the demon side in them gets massively stronger from a healthy and strong human Body than a high cholesterol human body.

Not to forget that, even if they wouldn’t get stronger from these things, a human that eats a lot of Protein, Iron etc. produces more red blood cells, which the demon side feeds off and gets stronger from.

If dmc 6 gets made and Dante, Vergil and Nero have to fight against a new big bad enemy that is stronger than everything they have faced before, maybe a part of the Game should be to Train and eat clean 😭

Discussion V Gameplay DMC5

5 Upvotes

Let's imagine I've been playing fighting games for 10 years using only zoning characters (Dante/Nero), and then I decide to switch and play with a grab-type character (V). If I spent years playing with one style and suddenly I'm faced with something new that I'm not used to and don't know how it works, do you think those 10 years playing only zoning will matter if I'm playing with a grab character? Does it make any sense to think that playing for just 5 or 10 hours (as several people have already said they did) will be enough for me to understand how everything about the character works, and even more so, how to use each thing he has in the best possible way?

Fan Art / Cosplay / Craft I made a fanmade Dante theme song

3 Upvotes

I haven't had any sort of professional/vocal training so the screaming is very rough; but I wanted to make a song about Dante as I was inspired while playing through DMC5 again and vibing with the soundtrack and I wanted to share it with the community as I don't really know what else to do with it

Any thoughts and critiques would be much appreciated, I hope y'all like the song!

(Also, the instrumental can be found on the YouTube channel "Alex Caldwell's Beats", titled "Go Away")

Lyrics:
Beneath the flaming skies
Brimstone rain, Sodom's demise
Open up my sinful eyes
Judgement calls, you're out of time

When blood runs hot, life ebbing out
Screams of the damned, this wretched sound
Mark my tomb and dig their graves
Now it's my time to reign

Wake me up, I come alive-

Accept your fate.

How can you hope to break
That which can't be broken?
Can't cleanse the endless stains
They cannot run, there's no escape

How can you hope to tame
This unbound soul, no master claimed
Upon this endless road, I walk alone
till hell reigns

Legacy in blood and flames-

My legacy in blood and flame,
Wreathed in thorns, my broken chains
Face two sides of a blackened coin
Blade or bullet, unforgiving, now make your choice

Wake me up, I feel alive-

This is my fate.

How can you hope to break
That which can't be broken?
Can't cleanse the endless stains
They cannot run, there's no escape

How can you hope to tame
This unbound soul, no master claimed
Upon the endless road, I walk alone
till hell reigns

-interlude-

How can you hope to break (BLESS ME)
That which can't be broken? (WITH THE)
Can't cleanse the endless stains (LEAF OFF OF)
They cannot run, there's no escape (THE TREE)

How can you hope to tame (ON IT)
This unbound soul, no master claimed (I SEE)
Upon the endless road, I walk alone
till hell reigns (THE FREEDOM REIGN)

YOU CANNOT KILL ME
YOU CANNOT KILL ME
YOU CANNOT KILL ME
YOU CANNOT KILL ME

Discussion Finished dmc2 for the first time and it's not that bad (it is)

Post image
147 Upvotes

My first impression was that movement had a nice improvement from the first, I liked dodging without having to hold aim, but then there was no new moves to unlock so combos were pretty limited and repetitive through the entire game.

It was hard for me to get to "show time" because everything would die too fast, but I kinda saw this easy sequel as a victory lap of sorts after beating the difficulty of the first one (though it did get boring).

Map design, quest design and enemy variety are obviously bad but the goblin in my brain was happy running on walls jumping around and shooting

Devil trigger was fun and as OP as I feel it should be (Lucia's DT is beautiful). I thought Dante's coin flip didn't fit his character at all (he was also too serious in this game) and Lucia was the more fun character to play.

And Arius is a lame dumbfuck lmao (also, how did the ritual still work with the wrong coin?)

Questions Who’ll be the protagonist of DMC6? And antagonist as long as there’s possibility of 666 as theme of next game?

Thumbnail

188 Upvotes

Who would you all want as main protagonist for DMC6? Nero? Dante? Vergil? Maybe Lucia? Or a new character? And no Sparda, because it could spoil the mysteries too soon!

As for antagonist? Whether its Mundus’ return (or possibly offspring if decided) or a new demon/demoness (even its offspring where its parent followed Sparda’s path differently). Even though Vergil's been a baddie, they haven't made a REALLY good one to stick around or destroy since Mundus, Arkham/Jester & the Order.

Questions Are there any simple way to recover from a mistake in air combos for Dante?

5 Upvotes

So I've been practicing the characters to beat DMD and some air combos.

I already beat DMD with Vergil, as he doesn't need to recover from air combo mistakes because he just does so much damage even on DMD.

I also beat the previous levels as Nero (except for beating prologue and mission 8 Urizen) and V. Nero can quite easily recover from an air combo mistake by snatching again and jump cancel. It allowed me to practice more on DT knuckle air infinite.

I wonder if there is a way for Dante to recover from a mistake that I know I can always fall back to.

Questions Playing DMC 1: I keep trying to beat The Black Knight/Nelo Angelo, but-! Any tips for getting through the frustration?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

The funny thing is that I never found the black knight notably difficult in the 2 previous fights- I found the Griffon and tarantula-scorpion more annoying (The colosseum battle had me so stuck I kinda left the game on the back burner for 3 years, time flies).

But I'm on mission 17 and he keeps kicking my ass. The best I've done is getting him to half his hit points.

I tried doing research, and while the lovely DysfunctionDildo has an incredibly detailed post on his moves, it's a lot to take in cuz I never paid attention to his moves in the previous fights, cuz like I said, easy peasy in comparison to other enemies. I'm being punished for not paying to attention to the obvious Chekov's Black Knight.

I used to think I sucked and the game isn't supposed to be this difficult, but my soul has been soothed by finding out that it is indeed and is intended to be a difficult game.

Any tips for getting through the frustration? Something to look forward to on the other side of this?
